Liu Erlong: Take Xiaogang to Find a Way to Evolve Luo Sanpao! The Xuanwu Empire Bears Down on Sea God Island
[Xuanwu section · Raging Tide Legion veteran]:
"Hahaha!
You're killing me! Bibi Dong, the Pope of Spirit Hall, is still putting on airs!
Saying she only dared absorb a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring after becoming a Titled Douluo, relying on her twin Martial Souls.
That's because your talent is too poor and your cultivation methods too crude!
Don't use that pitiful ceiling of yours to measure the imperial nobility of our Xuanwu Imperial Family!"
[Xuanwu section · Proprietor of the Imperial Capital's Drunken Immortal Tower]:
"Exactly!
Our Third Highness absorbed a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring without even breathing hard, and picked up a hundred-thousand-year Torso Bone and some top-grade whale rubber while he was at it!
Everyone on the Douluo Continent, jealous?
Swallow it, then!
Hahaha!"
Comments brimming with mockery and confidence flooded the Sky Screen like a violent storm.
Behind every comment stood a vast empire with profound foundations and highly advanced technology, delivering a dimensional strike against a backward civilization!
The Douluo Continent instantly fell into deathly silence.
Heaven Dou City, Shrek Academy.
Yu Xiaogang's face was as white as paper. He slumped in his wooden chair, his hands trembling violently, his eyes filled with uncomprehending bewilderment and despair:
"No...
That's wrong...
This isn't real..."
"The Martial Soul core principles...
The Soul Ring limit theory...
Those were fundamental truths I spent half my life's blood and sweat compiling!
Why... why can they break those limits?
Why can a Soul Douluo who hasn't reached the Titled rank withstand a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring?!"
"Heavenly materials and earthly treasures to cleanse the marrow?
Soul Power nourishing the flesh in return?
Soul guidance technology... what on earth is that?!"
Yu Xiaogang felt the blood surge in his chest, and with a retch, he actually spat out a mouthful of dark red blood!
"Xiaogang!"
Liu Erlong hurried forward, channeling Soul Power into the meridians around Yu Xiaogang's heart to help settle his chaotic breathing.
Beside them, Flender also wore a complicated expression.
Liu Erlong looked at the Sky Screen, furious at its comments mocking Yu Xiaogang.
At the same time, however, an idea suddenly came to her.
Since the Xuanwu Continent was so well developed, perhaps its research into Martial Souls was more advanced than the Douluo Continent's too?
With that thought, Liu Erlong looked down at Yu Xiaogang in her arms.
If possible, she wanted to take Yu Xiaogang to the Xuanwu Continent and see whether they could find a way to evolve his Luo Sanpao Martial Soul.
Meanwhile, Tang Hao and the other two had arrived outside the Star Dou Great Forest.
Tang San stared fixedly at the Sky Screen, his face filled with horror, unable to stop himself from thinking:
Cleansing the marrow and tempering the bones...
Expanding the meridians...
Could the Soul Masters of that world also possess internal cultivation methods and body-tempering techniques similar to the Tang Sect's Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record, or even more advanced ones?
His greatest source of confidence had always been the Tang Sect Secret Arts from another world.
Yet the scattered clues revealed by the Sky Screen sent a chill down his spine.
The Xuanwu Empire not only possessed terrifying cannons far beyond hidden weapons, but even its Soul Masters' basic physical attributes left the Douluo Continent far behind!
What made Tang San's heart pound with even greater fear was this.
When Lu Wudao slew the Evil Orca King, his almost overwhelming bloodline pressure and physical strength had completely overturned the Douluo Continent's existing system of power!
Xiao Wu watched the Sky Screen, her little face deathly pale.
Before the Xuanwu Empire, slaughtering hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts was like killing chickens.
What about her, then?
Although the Star Dou Great Forest was inland, if the Xuanwu Empire defeated the Heaven Dou Empire or the Star Luo Empire.
It would inevitably come to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for Soul Rings.
And right now, the Star Dou Great Forest only had two hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts, Da Ming and Er Ming.
What if...
Spirit City, Papal Hall.
Bang!
Bibi Dong's face was frosty, murderous intent surfacing in her eyes.
"Arrogant!
These overseas barbarians... how dare they humiliate me like this!"
"Please quell your anger, Your Holiness."
Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei hurriedly bowed and urged her.
Yue Guan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his voice trembling:
"Your Holiness, the combat strength displayed on that Sky Screen was truly bizarre.
The power unleashed by that great ship called the Sea-Breaker...
Every shot was equivalent to an all-out strike from a Soul Saint or even a Soul Douluo, and that final main cannon approached the might of a Super Douluo!"
"And that Ye Shaozhe...
His Martial Soul was clearly a bright phoenix, and his strength was by no means inferior to mine!
Yet he was merely a prince's guard captain!"
Gui Mei also spoke in a hoarse voice:
"What's even more frightening is the Xuanwu Empire's continent itself...
The Sky Screen said the entire continent was hurtling toward the Douluo Continent, and the two would meet in three days!
If their entire army truly presses against our borders...
How is Spirit Hall supposed to withstand them?"
Bibi Dong swept a cold glance over the two, took a deep breath, and forcibly suppressed her anger before saying coldly:
"What are you panicking for?!"
"The Douluo Continent has deep foundations. Besides Spirit Hall, there are the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the Clear Sky Sect, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, and the two great empires, Heaven Dou and Star Luo!
Besides..."
Bibi Dong shifted her gaze slightly, looking at the Sea-Breaker fleet on the Sky Screen as it cleaved through wind and waves, bristling with murderous intent:
"Their current course takes them straight toward Sea God Island!
Sea God Island's High Priest, Bo Saixi, is a true Peerless Douluo, reputed to be invincible beneath the divine level on the open ocean!"
"Let Sea God Island test the depths of this Xuanwu Empire first!
I shall see whether the Sea God's followers are stronger, or these arrogant overseas bandits are tougher!"
"Issue my papal command!
Every Spirit Hall Main Hall in every province under Spirit Hall's authority is to place all personnel on a war footing!
All Titled Douluo elders are to return to Spirit City immediately for deliberations!"
"As you command!"
Over the ocean, fierce winds howled.
After killing the Evil Orca King, the Sea-Breaker maintained the same forward speed as the Xuanwu Continent, neither hurrying nor slowing.
On deck, Ye Shaozhe held a Level Nine Soul-Guided Monocular Telescope, surveying the vast horizon ahead.
At the very limit of his vision, an enormous shadow flickered in and out of sight, while faint traces of deep-blue divine radiance intertwined and swirled with thunderclouds filling the sky.
It was a magnificent island exuding an ancient, sacred presence!
Sea God Island!
"Your Highness, we are now less than 1,500 li from Sea God Island's outer patrol waters."
Ye Shaozhe lowered the telescope and turned toward Lu Wudao beside him:
"At our current full speed, the Sea-Breaker will reach the waters directly before Sea God Island's harbor in six hours at most."
Lu Wudao had already finished refining the hundred-thousand-year Evil Orca King Soul Bone and that piece of whale rubber, raising his strength another step.
Lu Wudao rolled his shoulders with a cold laugh, his eyes brimming with fighting spirit:
"Good!
Pass down my orders. All gun positions aboard the ship are to begin level-two charging!"
"I hear there's a human woman named Bo Saixi on Sea God Island who calls herself the Sea God High Priest and has been throwing her weight around this ocean for a century or two.
Today, I have come to these waters to tell her:
The master of this ocean has never been that bullshit Sea God!"
