Douluo: Founding the Heavenly Court from the Holy Spirit Cult

"Go slaughter that Bei Bei, or chop off a limb and bring it back."

Yang Hao gave the cold order; it was easiest to manipulate those who had attachments.

"You're despicable!"

The young girl's eyes widened. How could such a despicable person exist?

Behind them, Wan Hun and Sleep Nightmare chuckled. A little girl like her wanted to escape the palm of their Holy Son? Don't even dream of it.

"Now, let us begin your initiation ceremony."

Yang Hao smiled as well, taking out a ring and pressing the cyan gemstone set within it against the center of the girl's brow.

This was the Soul Treasure Ring, a Level 9 Soul Tool crafted by Teacher Ye Xishui using a piece of Gold of Life; one could even call it a Level 10 Soul Tool. It incorporated soul secret arts used to bind others and ensure their silence.

This was actually a secret art of the Holy Spirit Cult, and the primary reason why the Holy Spirit Cult's headquarters had yet to be exposed.

After gaining knowledge from the inheritance of the Rakshasa God obtained from Bibi Dong, Teacher had refined and perfected this secret art. Coupled with the Gold of Life as a carrier, not even a god could break it without damaging the target's soul.

As soul power was channeled, the Soul Treasure Ring left a cyan mark on the girl's fair brow, which then faded into her skin—or rather, merged into her soul.

Tang Ya instinctively wanted to dodge, but thinking of the threats from this despicable man, she could only endure it.

"It will hurt a little, so bear with it."

Putting away the Soul Treasure Ring, Yang Hao picked up the Thunder Spirit Blue Silver Spear and thrust it into the girl's small chest.

Chapter 58: Thunder Spirit Blue Silver Spear

This caused Tang Ya's eyes to widen once more; she did not understand what this despicable man was trying to do.

Yang Hao ignored the girl's pain and confusion, slowly pushing the Blue Silver Spear into her body.

Bizarrely, the spear blade did not pierce out through the girl's back; if one looked from the inside, one could see it had merged into her body.

That was right, Yang Hao was performing Blood Refinement on her.

He valued Tang Ya highly; she was a key link in his scheme to seize the plane's Life Core.

One had to know that in the future, Ah Yin, under the machinations of Tang San, would use the Golden Ancient Tree to become the Life Core of the Douluo Continent; God King Tang had been laying the groundwork for this long ago.

He absolutely could not let that succeed; the best approach was to steal the fruit of another's labor.

And Tang Ya, a Soul Master with the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline and a Blue Silver Grass martial soul, was the perfect vessel for that theft.

Therefore, he had poured a great deal of effort into this transformation. This Thunder Spirit Blue Silver Spear Soul Tool alone was extraordinary; its core was crafted from a piece of Gold of Life, and he had requested Teacher Ye Xishui to forge it. Strictly speaking, it was also a Level 10 Soul Tool.

After all, the quality of the Gold of Life was set in stone.

The effect of this Blue Silver Spear was similar to the Golden Dragon Spear, capable of devouring an opponent's life force.

Furthermore, with the purification of the Gold of Life, it had no side effects.

Beyond that, it also incorporated the power of the Thunder Spirit obtained when the Blue Silver Emperor survived her tribulation, granting it a powerful lightning attribute.

It was no ordinary lightning, but the power of the Thunder Spirit derived from the Heavenly Tribulation; calling it Ultimate Lightning would not be an exaggeration. It was very strong.

"What is this?"

Coming back to her senses, Tang Ya touched the tear in the clothes over her chest, feeling that it was truly magical.

How could such a large spear have entered her body?

"This is the wonder of a Life Soul Tool."

"From now on, you will cultivate here. Do not walk out, or else I will have someone go and chop up Bei Bei."

Yang Hao offered a well-intentioned reminder, though it remained a threat.

Oh, foolish girl, just be a good tool for me.

"You are shameless!"

Threatened once again, the girl was furious. This person was far too shameless.

Ignoring the girl's angry glare, Yang Hao looked at Sleep Nightmare.

"Has that Iron Blood Sect been dealt with? And the remains of her parents?"

He had to sever all of the girl's ties to the Douluo Continent; hatred was also a form of attachment.

"It is all in here. There were no omissions; we dug up every grave we could find."

Sleep Nightmare took out two storage soul tools. Naturally, he would handle the matters entrusted to him by the Young Cult Master beautifully.

"You dug up my father and mother's graves?"

"What are you trying to do?"

Tang Ya was so angry she felt murderous. This bastard had actually had her parents' graves dug up.

How detestable!

"I am also a person of great filial piety. I could not bear to see you separated from your parents and relatives, so I invited them here. From now on, you can pay your respects right here."

Yang Hao displayed a kind and gentle expression, indicating that he was thinking of her.

"I thank you so much!"

Gritting her teeth, Tang Ya truly wished she could stab this despicable, shameless bastard to death.

"No need to thank me; we're all on the same side now."

Seeing the young girl finally yield, Yang Hao's smile grew even broader. He then took out the box containing the Soul Bone and handed it to Sleep Nightmare.

"This is an eighty-thousand-year Soul Bone. Take it and refine it. Become a Super Douluo as soon as possible. Our Bright Cult's cooperation with the Empire is about to officially begin, and we need powerhouses who can stand on the stage."

This was the Soul Bone gifted by Xu Tianran, but since he was already developing a Soul Armor system, he had no use for Soul Bones unless they were External Soul Bones.

"Thank you for the reward, Young Cult Master. This subordinate will certainly cultivate to become a Super Douluo as quickly as possible."

Sleep Nightmare was overjoyed and hurriedly pledged his loyalty.

Wan Hun, standing to the side, looked on with envy, though it was only envy.

He already possessed three Soul Bones, all of them quite complete, and their Soul Bone skills were also incredibly potent—the spoils from when he had followed along on a hunt.

"Keep a close eye on her. Don't let her run. If she dares to try, throw her parents' remains into a latrine—and make sure it's far away, preferably at the ends of the earth."

After giving this final instruction, Yang Hao left, ignoring the girl's frantic, furious glare.

He did not return to the academy, but instead headed toward another part of this base.

He had sensed his Teacher's aura; she must have arrived here.

Returning to the academy, Wan Hun followed to provide an escort.

"Little girl, staying here is the best choice for you. Don't do anything stupid; it won't end well for anyone."

Sleep Nightmare offered a reminder.

Although he didn't understand why the Holy Son placed such importance on this girl, that wasn't for him to consider. He only needed to obey the Holy Son's commands.

"Was that letter sent by you? What exactly happened to Sister Lexuan?"

Forcing herself to calm down, Tang Ya asked about the letter. She needed to know if the contents were true.

"The contents of the letter are absolutely true. That Zhang Lexuan became an Evil Soul Master in order to infiltrate that faction. As for her current situation, we don't know; that faction is not one we can afford to provoke."

Sleep Nightmare provided an answer. He naturally knew about Zhang Lexuan's situation, but as he was currently acting as the Right Envoy of the Bright Cult, his persona shouldn't know too much, so he naturally couldn't say more.

"Even you fear that faction?"

Tang Ya was even more worried, and also puzzled as to what kind of faction it could be.

"That faction is no less powerful than Shrek; they have simply always kept a low profile."

"It would be best if you didn't get involved in Zhang Lexuan's affairs, otherwise, no one will be able to protect you."

After this stern warning, Sleep Nightmare didn't want this girl to do anything foolish, as that would be very troublesome.

He handed over the storage Soul Tool containing the corpses of the Iron Blood Sect members and offered a heartfelt reminder.

"These are the bodies of those people from the Iron Blood Sect. Take a look.

Our Bright Cult has avenged this grudge for you, so just stay here obediently from now on.

The Young Cult Master has invested heavily in you and values you greatly. You possess that kind of potential, and only by the Young Cult Master's side will you have the chance to become a true powerhouse.

No matter what you are thinking inside, as someone who has been through it all, I want to tell you that this world is cruel. The destruction of your Tang Sect by the Iron Blood Sect back then was a manifestation of that cruelty.

Only by becoming a powerhouse can you dictate your own fate and future. The weak have no say."

He could tell at a glance that this girl was not one to sit still, so he had to make things clear.

Tang Ya fell silent. She could feel the other party's goodwill, and her own Martial Soul had indeed undergone a massive evolution, improving by leaps and bounds.

She had practiced the Mysterious Heaven Skill since she was a child, and when she awakened her Martial Soul at age six, her soul power was already at level ten. Yet, even now, she had barely become a Soul Elder. This meant that in eight years, she had only improved by twenty levels.

This was due to her Martial Soul's low grade; even with the Mysterious Heaven Skill, it was difficult to raise it.

But now that her Martial Soul had been upgraded, she had just circulated her soul power and found the efficiency to be more than ten times greater than before.

That bastard might be despicable and shameless, but he had indeed invested a great deal in her.

Seeing that the young girl had truly taken his words to heart, Sleep Nightmare began to refine the Soul Bone.

Such a treasure naturally had to be refined as soon as possible.

"Sister Lexuan, I hope you are alright and can return safely."

Tang Ya's thoughts turned to Zhang Lexuan, and she prayed with worry, truly hoping that sister would not come to harm.

Setting aside the girl's prayers, Yang Hao arrived at a room on the other side.

"Teacher!"

"Stop hiding, I can already sense you."

Looking at the empty room, Yang Hao reminded her helplessly.

According to the original setting, this Teacher was the lively and cute type in her youth, and it seemed she had reignited that nature; sometimes, she would do rather childish things.
