In the heart of Suotuo City, a luxurious Earl's mansion had already been built. Yu Tianheng led Dugu Yan and a group of trusted subordinates into the Earl, while the others were all settled into their accommodations.
The next step is to figure out how to completely control Suotuo City and turn the city into our own territory.
This will lay a solid foundation for future domination of the world.
To gain control of Suotuo City, we must first ascertain which forces are entrenched within the city, so that we can deal with them one by one.
After sending people to investigate, Yu Tianheng learned that the main forces in Suotuo City were as follows:
First is the Spirit Hall. Suotuo City is a large city with a Level 3 Spirit Hall Main Hall, which shows how much the Spirit Hall values it.
The Spirit Hall is responsible for helping children who have reached the age of six awaken and register their Martial Soul Martial Soul. They wield immense power on the continent, and there are many Spirit Hall members in Suotuo City. They are worth winning over, after all, I once spent two Soul Bone to make a deal with Bibi Dong, the Pope the Spirit Hall.
Then there's the Suotuo City Lord's Mansion, headed by Lord Hammond. He's considered the official power in Suotuo City, although his own strength is mediocre, he has the backing of the Balak Kingdom.
Under the city lord's command is a garrison of the Balak Kingdom, numbering around five thousand. It should be noted that Suotuo City is the richest city in the Balak Kingdom, known as the " Barak Granary," and holds an important strategic position. Therefore, the Balak Kingdom has stationed an elite force here to ensure the city's security and the stability of the kingdom.
This force should not be underestimated.
Yu Tianheng wants to control the entire Suotuo City, he must find a way to eliminate the City Lord's Mansion.
Otherwise, no one would take Earl Yu Tianheng seriously.
Next is the Suotuo City Great Soul Arena, a place where Soul Master exchange skills and demonstrate their strength, as well as a venue for various forces to resolve conflicts. It has its own system and is an important place for Soul Master to gain experience, benefits, and fame. It was jointly founded by the Soul Grandmaster families and nobles in Suotuo City and is an independent third-party force with a large amount of accumulated wealth.
For them, it doesn't matter who controls Suotuo City, as long as it doesn't interfere with their business.
Finally, there are the Soul Master who make a living in Suotuo City. Their strength is generally not high, around the second or third ring, and very few have reached the Four-Ring. They spend most of their time participating in competitions at the Suotuo City Great Soul Arena.
No need to pay too much attention.
The above outlines the distribution of major powers in Suotuo City.
Yu Tianheng decided to hold a banquet in a few days, inviting the leaders of the aforementioned forces to the Earl to see who was willing to come and who was not. Those who were willing to come would be befriended, while those who were unwilling would be suppressed.
Soon, Yu Tianheng delivered his invitations to the aforementioned forces one by one.
On the day the banquet began, Yu Tianheng was surprised to find that all the leaders of the major Suotuo City forces who had received invitations were present without exception. Even Hammond, the city lord of Suotuo City, had prepared a generous gift and visited with great respect, showing no sign of dissatisfaction.
This left Yu Tianheng at a loss for what to do, after all, one can't hit a smiling face.
Yu Tianheng later learned that the reason they were so polite was because they were intimidated by Dugu Bo, a Nine-Ring Titled Douluo, and dared not oppose Yu Tianheng for fear that their whole family would be poisoned.
Yu Tianheng ultimately underestimated the power of Titled Douluo.
Especially for Titled Douluo like Dugu Bo, who is capable of group attacks, at his level of 93, if he were to go all out, he could destroy a city in the blink of an eye.
Although Suotuo City was a large city, it could not contain Dugu Bo's rage.
Faced with such a terrifying being who could destroy a city at any moment, how could the rulers of Suotuo City dare to oppose Yu Tianheng? They all behaved themselves and dared not be presumptuous in the slightest.
Seeing this, Yu Tianheng was not in a hurry to take control of Suotuo City. Instead, he began to cultivate in seclusion, leaving the rest of the trivial matters to Dugu Yan. She was now married to Yu Tianheng Yu Tianheng was his lawfully wedded wife. Since Yu Tianheng was Earl, she was the Earl.
Managing one's own fiefdom is perfectly legitimate.
After giving all the instructions, Yu Tianheng began his seclusion to improve his Soul Power Level.
Previously, in order to prepare for the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament, he basically did not cultivate his Martial Soul, which resulted in his low Soul Power Level of only 58. If he had been a little more serious, he probably would have reached level 60 long ago and become Six-Ring Soul Emperor.
But in that case, there's no need for the Soul Master Tournament; he can sweep the entire field by himself.
During this retreat, I aim to reach level 60 in one go.
Inside a quiet room in the Earl in the central area of Suotuo City.
Yu Tianheng sat cross-legged, his body surrounded by faintly visible Soul Power that rose and fell with his breath, and his body surface crackled with faint electric light.
He slowly circulated the Heaven-level cultivation technique " Nine Heavens Divine Lightning Prison Suppression Scripture," and in the moment of mental clarity, the noise of the outside world was completely shut out.
As the cultivation technique circulated, Sisi of primordial energy from heaven and earth, like gossamer threads, penetrated the thick stone wall and flowed into his meridians through the pores of his body. Under the resonance of his Martial Soul, this primordial energy transformed into Sisi of Thunder power, which converged into the dantian vortex along the eight extraordinary meridians.
Time passed quietly, Yu Tianheng's breathing gradually harmonized with the rhythm of heaven and earth. When the first ray of dawn pierced through the clouds, his Soul Power suddenly vibrated violently, and the originally hazy purple light became even more condensed.
The external energy seemed to be drawn in by something, forming a visible vortex that surged wildly into the sealed room.
This continued for ten days and nights, and the oppressive aura within the secret chamber grew increasingly terrifying. Finally, on the thirtieth day of his seclusion, Yu Tianheng suddenly erupted with a dazzling blue-purple light, and his surging Soul Power spread outwards like a tide.
The moment the level reached 60, the entire quiet room shook violently.
Yu Tianheng slowly opened his eyes, a sharp glint of lightning flashing within them. Feeling the surging Soul Power within his body, a smile unconsciously crept onto the corners of Yu Tianheng's lips.
He advanced two levels in just one month. Once he absorbs all the Soul Ring, he will be Six-Ring Soul Emperor. Such a cultivation speed is probably unmatched on the entire continent. Of course, he cannot be complacent. Although his Soul Power Level surpasses most Soul Master, he is still a minor figure on the entire continent and not worth mentioning.
The moment the door to the meditation room burst open, Soul Power imbued with the aura of Thunder surged forth like a tidal wave.
Yu Tianheng walked out slowly, the residual electric arcs in his hair crackling, and his powerful Soul Power flowing through his body. He stretched and walked outside.
"Boy!" An aged voice suddenly came from around the corner of the corridor.
Yu Tianheng turned his head and saw Dugu Bo standing with his hands behind his back, wearing a dark green robe and standing not far away. At this moment, Dugu Bo narrowed his eyes, his gaze sweeping over Yu Tianheng like a hawk, and his originally nonchalant expression instantly froze.
