Good Brothers for Life!

Qian Mochen picked at his ear, looking somewhat disdainful. "Gangzi, could you at least come up with something new?"

"You may have lost love, but you gained your father's overflowing love for you!"

Yu Xiaogang struggled to get up. He wanted to tear the demon before him to pieces with his own hands, but Yu Yuanzhen had struck far too heavily earlier. Yu Xiaogang fell again and again, then forced himself back up each time.

"Ahhh!"

Yu Xiaogang clenched his teeth so tightly that blood seeped from his mouth. His eyes had completely lost their reason. He crawled across the ground, fingers clutching Qian Mochen's pant leg as he thrust his head forward, intending to bite a chunk of flesh right off Qian Mochen.

"Keep it up, Gangzi. I'm looking forward to your future!"

"Having no opponents is just too boring!"

With a stomp of his foot, Qian Mochen sent Yu Xiaogang flying. He patted his trousers and flicked away nonexistent dust, then listened to the system prompt in his mind with delight blooming in his heart.

Gangzi, good brother for life!

[Because of the host's actions, Yu Xiaogang suffered a severe blow and had an emotional breakdown. Reward obtained: 50,000 Emotion Points.]

[Because of the host's actions, Yu Xiaogang lost all hope. Reward obtained: 100,000 Emotion Points.]

There were actually two rewards!

Qian Mochen figured the first had come when Gangzi's father and second uncle arrived, while the second was the devastating blow he had just dealt Gangzi.

He glanced at Gangzi. His eyes were still filled with malice, and Qian Mochen was satisfied.

Gangzi had to be like this—more determined with every setback.

Qian Mochen now had 210,000 Emotion Points. He had no immediate use for them, so he planned to save them up to buy that good item from the System Mall.

[Level 100 Godhood Card: After purchase, this item may only be used by the host. This card can help the host break through the Level 100 limit and become a god, breaking the rule that one cannot remain on Douluo Continent after attaining godhood.]

With this card, Qian Mochen's strength would not stop improving simply because he remained on Douluo Continent. If the Asura God truly came to interfere in the future, Qian Mochen would have the ability to protect himself.

The price of this card was equally moving: a full five million Emotion Points.

Qian Mochen planned to temporarily shift his attention away from the Tang God King's relatives and turn it toward ordinary Soul Masters.

After watching that fine show, Qian Mochen did not linger and directly returned to Spirit Hall with Bibi Dong.

Dugu Bo parted ways with them and returned to his Sunset Forest. He needed to hurry through the formalities so his son could join Spirit Hall sooner.

Qian Mochen had an idea on the road. He searched through the System Mall and quickly found several good items.

The Truth-Piercing Eye for training one's eyesight and spiritual power, the Mystic Crystal Sharp-Edge Hand similar to the Tang Sect's Mysterious Jade Hand, the Phantom Trace Step focused on footwork, and the Heavenly Treasure Profound Chapter for refining Soul Power.

The four techniques covered improvements to spiritual power, the body, and Soul Power. It could be said that with these four techniques, the strength of Soul Masters below Soul Sage could increase by at least double!

Exchanging all four techniques required 200,000 Emotion Points, which would drain Qian Mochen's entire stockpile.

But you couldn't catch a wolf without sacrificing the bait!

In order to harvest Emotion Points from Soul Masters across the entire continent, Qian Mochen gritted his teeth and bought all four techniques. Looking at his pitifully few remaining Emotion Points, his heart ached.

The only consolation was that these four techniques were not exclusive and could be taught to others.

After purchasing the techniques, Qian Mochen silently said, "Use," and four spheres of light inexplicably appeared in his mind. The next moment, the spheres shattered, and countless details of the techniques flooded into his mind.

He had not merely memorized them. It was as though he had practiced them tens of millions of times, with the techniques' circulation routes and combat methods etched into his bones.

"So that's how it is!"

Qian Mochen took a step forward, yet his figure eerily appeared to the left of where he had just stood.

Next, he practiced all the techniques in the training grounds, breaking each one down into small cycles, effectively dividing the techniques into several stages.

For example, the Truth-Piercing Eye had a simplified version, a detailed version, and the original version.

After organizing the techniques, Qian Mochen first gave them to Bibi Dong and had her learn all of them.

Even with Bibi Dong's talent, it took her more than a month to learn all four techniques. To master them, she would need at least half a year of painstaking practice.

Although mastery would take time, Bibi Dong's immediate combat strength increased by thirty percent after learning them. At Level 72, she could face a Level 80 Soul Douluo without falling behind for a short time.

One incense stick's time later, Bibi Dong was defeated, but she was in an excellent mood.

She skipped over to Qian Mochen, hooked her arm around his, and asked curiously, "Mo Chen, where did you get these techniques? The increase in combat strength is just too obvious!"

"With these four techniques, it won't be a problem for our Spirit Hall to sweep across all of Douluo Continent in the future!"

"What, are you already so eager to sit on the Empress's throne?"

Bibi Dong shot Qian Mochen a look, the charm in her eyes making even him lose focus for an instant.

"If I become Empress, the future history of Douluo Continent will remember me."

"Goddess sounds better than Empress."

"Becoming a god isn't so easy. In the thousands of years of recorded history on this continent, the only ones who became gods were the Qian Family's ancestor and the Sea God in the ocean."

Goddess certainly sounded better, but Bibi Dong also knew that although she was talented, the most crucial thing for becoming a god was Godhood. No one had been known to obtain one in thousands of years. She did not believe she was that one in a hundred million.

"These techniques will become the foundation of our Spirit Hall in the future. Only those we trust absolutely may be taught the complete versions."

"I'll place the detailed versions in the Merit Hall."

Qian Mochen casually asked, "When does this year's High-Level Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament begin?"

"It has already begun. In another month, the teams advancing to the finals from the Heaven Dou Empire and Star Luo Empire will be selected."

Qian Mochen's eyes lit up at those words.

Didn't that mean that in another month, the eyes of all Soul Masters would be focused on Spirit Hall?

The competing teams would need several days to reach Spirit City, and the battles between the teams would take more time. About two months was enough for him to build a promotional team.

Qian Mochen planned to use the four techniques to harvest Soul Masters across the entire continent. If he did not publicize how powerful the techniques were, why would the millions of Soul Masters across the continent be willing to spend money on them?

"Dong'er, help me find an ordinary competing team. Their strength should be about the same as the teams from the Heaven Dou Empire and Star Luo Empire, though a little weaker is fine too."

"Are you planning to make the techniques public?"

"Of course. Soul Masters are so rich, and Spirit Hall has been doing charity for so many years. Naturally, it's time to recoup some of our investment."

Bibi Dong thought seriously for a moment, looking somewhat troubled. "The younger generation on Spirit Hall's side is basically at the Soul Ancestor level."

"That's fine. Isn't there still the next generation?"

"The oldest among them are only sixteen!"
