Douluo Continent: Simulating Douluo Dalu III: The Legend of the Dragon King, Specifically to Screw Over Tang San

When the Xue Ye woke up, he was terrified to see a bloody human head hanging on the bed frame.

Even though he knew it was the Academy of the Gods who had caused this, Xue Ye was powerless to do anything about it.

After that, Xue Ye became much more restrained. He revoked the decrees that needed to be revoked and returned the properties that needed to be returned. Unfortunately, the hundreds of officials who had died could not be brought back, and reappointing officials was also a headache.

Ning Fengzhi had originally intended to let the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect seize the basic Soul Tool industry of the Academy of the Gods, but after Xue Ye revoked the decree and demanded the return of the industry, Ning Fengzhi's idea of classifying those industries as memories failed, so he sulked for several days.

However, when returning the assets, Ning Fengzhi had someone secretly keep a batch of Soul Tool from the Academy of the Gods, returning only the empty shells.

This also made the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Academy of the Gods completely opposed to each other in the open.

But Gong Yu was not one to suffer losses. Not long after, he launched another Dark Web, wiping out all the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's properties in various provinces. Everyone in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was killed.

Although the people on the Dark Web are generally Soul Grandmaster or Soul Elder, and there are also a few Soul Ancestor, if they really went head-to-head, they would definitely be at a disadvantage compared to the people from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. However, this disadvantage is easy to overcome.

Although there is a difference in cultivation level, the people of the Dark Web have Soul Tool to use. When they attack, they simply throw soul bombs and leave. They don't engage in direct confrontation with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect people at all. They often cause small disturbances, but they bring about huge explosions. A few soul bombs can kill or injure a large number of people.

Therefore, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's businesses in various provinces are shrinking every day, which has led to a significant decrease in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's income. As for the extent of the decrease, only Ning Fengzhi knows.

However, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was wealthy, so even though its income had decreased, Ning Fengzhi did not return the batch of Soul Tool that had been secretly kept.

Ning Fengzhi wanted to use those Soul Tool to crack the technology, but Gong Yu wasn't worried. Putting aside the fact that most Soul Tool have self-destruct arrays, the process of making Soul Tool is very frequent, and there are also certain requirements in forging.

If the forged metal is substandard, even with Ning Fengzhi's technology, he probably wouldn't be able to inscribe the magic array.

The affair between the Academy of the Gods, the Heaven Dou Empire, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School, though conducted in secret, has been widely publicized.

However, after the matter was basically resolved, Gong Yu didn't pay any more attention to it. He told the women to prepare for the competition, while he himself began to work on condensing his Soul Core.

One night, a violent surge of celestial energy began to appear around Gong Yu's room.

Inside the room, he began to condense his Soul Core.

At this moment, Gong Yu sat cross-legged on the ground and looked inward at his dantian. He saw that the stagnant Soul Power vortex in his dantian had begun to change slightly, and streaks of white lightning-like light were flashing around the vortex.

He forced himself to endure the tearing pain in his lower abdomen, took a deep breath, and began to calm himself down.

As time passed, his emotional turmoil gradually subsided.

But the pain in my dantian became increasingly intense, gradually feeling like being cut by a knife.

Gong Yu did not use his own Bloodline Power to interfere, but simply sat there steadily, silently sensing the changes in the Soul Power vortex in his dantian.

Among Soul Master, those who can cultivate Soul Core are extremely rare, perhaps one in a hundred.

Seven-Ring Soul Sage level cultivation is the true mark of entering the advanced Soul Master realm, and the Soul Core is the mark of Seven-Ring Soul Sage. Only with Soul Core can one better develop towards the Martial Soul Avatar. Of course, this is the mark of Soul Saint 20,000 years later.

In this day and age, very few people can condense Soul Core, and many people only condense Soul Core when they advance to the Titled Douluo.

Moreover, Soul Core are still a secret in this era. Only forces or families with Titled Douluo have records of them. For example, Dugu Bo, whose family had no experience to draw upon, accidentally condensed Inner Core when he was condensing his Soul Core to advance to the Titled Douluo.

Even the great Yu Xiaogang, who had stolen a lot of knowledge from the Spirit Hall, didn't know about Soul Core, which is why Tang San never condensed Soul Core when he was promoted to Titled Douluo.

For ordinary Soul Master to gain knowledge about condensing Soul Core, they would have to wait until after the Spirit Hall was destroyed and most of the information was leaked. Only then would Soul Master on the continent know that Soul Core existed.

However, with Gong Yu present in this era, it's hard to say whether the Spirit Hall will still be destroyed.

Chapter 166 Di Tian Appears

Inside the room, Gong Yu sat quietly cross-legged, his hands constantly making strange hand gestures.

Although the tearing pain in his dantian intensified, he was still able to stabilize his mind and body, silently sensing the changes in his Soul Power.

The original vortex of Soul Power transformed into streaks of Soul Power light, which continuously collapsed inward as they swirled, feeling as if a black hole had appeared in the dantian, absorbing everything from the outside world as it continued to collapse.

Inside the vortex of Soul Power, it collapsed and expanded, then collapsed and expanded again. Every time this process repeated, Gong Yu had to endure immense pain.

He could also clearly feel the energy of heaven and earth in the air surging wildly toward him during this process, and each surge brought extremely strong Soul Power fluctuations.

The surrounding air currents were violently distorted under his control, and each distortion attracted a large amount of energy from heaven and earth.

Outside the room, Na'er wore a faint smile. After a short while, she beckoned, and a crack appeared in the air. A man wearing a set of black and gold armor, with a pair of fiery black dragon wings on his back and a world-destroying horn on his head, walked out. Who else could this person be but Di Tian?

Upon arriving before Na'er, Di Tian first knelt on one knee and addressed her as "Your Majesty."

Na'er nodded and directly instructed Di Tian, "You have experience in condensing Soul Core, go see if Brother Yu needs any help, and if so, lend him a hand."

She did want to help Gong Yu, but she had never condensed Soul Core before. She was born as First-Level God- level expert and didn't need to condense Soul Core at all.

Di Tian nodded, then flashed into the room to carefully observe Gong Yu's condition.

Seeing that Gong Yu's condition was stable, Di Tian nodded to himself. At this moment, he also sensed the bloodline aura of the Golden Dragon King from Gong Yu. Considering the relationship between Gong Yu and Na'er, he did not feel too much aversion to Gong Yu.

Then Di Tian raised his hand, and the energy of heaven and earth attracted from the surrounding air was continuously compressed and purified under his control. Gradually, his whole body was covered with a gray halo.

Then, with a casual gesture, Di Tian drew the gray aura surrounding his body together into a cloth-like shape, which slowly flowed into Gong Yu's body.

Sensing the influx of abundant energy from heaven and earth, Gong Yu's body began to absorb it on its own, and he gradually entered a wondrous state.

His dantian still ached, but the pain seemed to be gradually receding, and his consciousness began to spread outwards.

He could vaguely sense countless energy molecules cheering him on in the air, and he could even distinguish the different properties of these energies.

In that air, ice (water), fire, light, darkness, wind, and thunder elements were the most abundant, while time and space elements were relatively rare. Even the extremely rare elements of life and destruction were faintly visible.

Many elements, after resonating with the various attributes within Gong Yu's body, directly transformed into corresponding elemental energies of heaven and earth, continuously merging into his body.

During the fusion process, Gong Yu's entire body trembled slightly, and with each tremor, the air would distort more violently.

Just then, the primordial energy in the air suddenly intensified, and the dense array of various elemental attributes surged in, penetrating his body and merging into his dantian.

The bands of Soul Power suddenly became clearer, and their rotation speed began to increase. In the center of the dantian, an oval-shaped crystal gradually took shape, radiating a bluish glow.

The nascent Soul Core has been formed.

The moment the prototype of the Soul Core was successfully formed, Gong Yu felt incredibly comfortable all over, and the tearing pain in his dantian suddenly disappeared in that instant.

In the center of his chest, a Dragon Core floated—it was the Golden Dragon King's Dragon Core.

At a certain moment, a Dragon's Roar's roar emanated from within the Dragon Core, and then the Dragon Core began to spin involuntarily.

As the Dragon Core rotated, it directly activated the power of his bloodline, which then slowly merged with his Soul Power, flowing into his dantian and converging towards the nascent Soul Core.

As the power of bloodline merged, the nascent Soul Core floating in the dantian gradually grew stronger.

Everything proceeded in an orderly manner, and Ling Yun's heart became increasingly calm as he immersed himself in his understanding of the elemental world.

He meditated silently, sensing each change in energy, feeling his life constantly being elevated, as if he were about to enter another world.

Soul Core is essentially a change in vital signs. The formation of Soul Core can extend the lifespan of a normal human by one to two hundred years. This is why people who reach the Titled Douluo level can have a lifespan of two to three hundred years.

This also confirms what Bo Saixi said: when a human breaks through to the Titled Douluo, they can have a lifespan of 300 years.

If the lifespan of an ordinary Soul Master is 60 to 100 years, then after condensing Soul Core when advancing to Titled Douluo, they gain an additional one or two hundred years of lifespan, so they can live to be two to three hundred years old.

Gradually, Gong Yu's consciousness became more immersed in comprehending the dense sea of elements, rather than the sparse elemental power.

At this moment, everything in the outside world seemed to have nothing to do with him anymore.

Beside him, Di Tian smiled slightly. At this moment, he no longer needed to deliberately control and guide the gathering of the energy of heaven and earth. The energy of heaven and earth that he had previously guided was now like a directional stream, autonomously drawing the energy of heaven and earth to converge towards Gong Yu.

Time passed second by second, and as darkness gradually gave way to dawn, the sky began to lighten. A whole night had passed, and Gong Yu still hadn't woken up.

The fact that Gong Yu could absorb such a massive amount of primordial energy from heaven and earth and sustain it for such a long time means that the foundation of his Soul Core must be extremely solid.

The longer the time, the greater his overall improvement will be when he awakens, and the stronger his understanding of Soul Power will be.

Two more hours passed as time went by.

At this moment, Gong Lan led a group of sisters to the courtyard where Gong Yu lived.

"Ninth Sister, hasn't Young Master gotten up yet?" Gong Lan asked curiously, as Gong Yu usually got up very early to cultivate his Purple Demon Eye.

Even now that he has cultivated the Purple Demon Eye to the Boundless Realm, he still gets up early every day, except on rainy days.

Na'er replied, "Big sister, Brother Yu isn't asleep; he's in his room condensing his Soul Core. I've been protecting him all night, but he's not finished yet, so I'm afraid he won't be able to accompany you to the arena today. However, I believe you sisters will definitely win again today."

Gong Yu had already told Gong Lan and the others about the Soul Core, and had also instructed them to compress their Soul Power regularly in preparation for condensing the Soul Core. So when she heard Na'er say that Gong Yu was condensing the Soul Core, Gong Lan knew that this was a big deal, so she took the sisters to the arena on their own.

Chapter 167: Confrontation with the Elephant Armor Academy

Gong Lan led the other six members of the Team of the Gods onto the field, but there was a change in the lineup; Oscar did not participate this time.

This time, the opponent is the Elephant Armor Academy Team, but the Elephant Armor Academy team consists of seven big guys. Oscar was a little reluctant to give the sausage, so he simply didn't go up.

Oscar was replaced by Gong Miaomiao.

On the opposite side, the seven people from the Elephant Armor Academy also stepped onto the arena. However, when they stepped onto the central arena, the entire arena trembled with their steps, as if the people stepping onto the arena were not seven people, but seven mountains.

All of them were dressed in black. Among the seven contestants from the Elephant Armor Academy, the shortest was over two meters tall, and the tallest was even over two and a half meters tall. Standing in front of the contestants from the Academy of the Gods, they were completely towering over them.

Compared to their height, their weight is also worth mentioning. Yes, weight. Simply saying their weight is not enough to reflect their size. So, in terms of weight, the smallest of these seven people weighs over 300 pounds, and the tallest one must weigh at least 500 pounds.

Upon seeing that the group of female Soul Master from the Academy of the Gods were from Elephant Armor Academy, the seven burly men from the Elephant Armor Academy immediately tried to strike up a conversation. Some even deliberately whistled in front of tens of thousands of spectators, acting like hooligans, which made Huyan Zhen, who was sitting in the VIP section, cover his forehead.

Those seven were so shameful that even Hu Yanzhen, the sect leader of the Elephant Armor Sect Huyan Zhen, couldn't bear to look at them.

Ning Fengzhi sneered from the side, "As expected of a disciple from the Elephant Armor Sect, his upbringing is indeed extraordinary."

"The upbringing of my Elephant Armor Sect disciples is none of Sect Master Ning's concern," Heavenly Elephant Huyan Zhen, who was sitting not far away, coldly replied upon hearing Ning Fengzhi's words.

Before long, standing in the center was the exceptionally burly man. He stepped forward and said, "Captain of the Elephant Armor Academy Team, Huyan Li, Level 43 Defense System Battle Soul Ancestor."

However, the way he walked forward with his legs spread apart caused the entire arena to shake violently.

Gong Lan stepped forward and said calmly, "Gong Lan, captain of the Academy of the Gods Team, as for your ranking, you are too weak to be qualified to know."

Upon hearing this, Huyan Li felt inexplicably annoyed.

Just as he was about to swear, he heard the referee's voice. "Boys, bow."

Led by Gong Lan and Huyan Li, all fourteen contestants from both sides bowed to each other at the same time, and the atmosphere in the arena became tense almost instantly.

"The Academy of the Gods Team versus the Elephant Armor Academy Team, begin now." The referee's voice rang out again.

As the referee's voice faded, the seven students from the Elephant Armor Academy simultaneously flung off their shirts, revealing their flabby bodies.

His already incredibly robust body swelled even more with the roar of his Martial Soul Possession. His somewhat loose fat rapidly bulged into exaggerated and terrifying muscles, and a layer of dark yellow keratin appeared on the surface of his skin, shimmering with a metallic luster.

What makes them look even more inhuman is that their noses are also extending and lengthening at the same time, while their upper lips are turned up and their two fangs grow a full foot long.

Seven people simultaneously raised their right feet and slammed them heavily onto the ring, creating a deafening roar that captivated the audience.

This also made everyone worry whether the competition arena could withstand their ferocious power.

Of the seven people, the three in the middle all had four Soul Ring (two yellow and two purple), while the four on the sides had three Soul Ring (two yellow and one purple), three of whom were Soul Ancestor and four were Soul Elder.

If it were against other teams, the Elephant Armor Academy Team's lineup would indeed be very strong, but even with such a lineup, they couldn't even beat the Blazing Fire Academy Team, so they would be even less of a threat to the Team of the Gods.

In the VIP section, Platinum Bishop Salas looked at the mountain of flesh, Huyan Zhen, who was praising his grandson Huyan Li's talent, saying that it was even better than his own talent back then.

Huyan Zhen said this intentionally so that Xue Ye, Ning Fengzhi, and Gu Rong, who were sitting in the first row, could hear it.

Xue Ye gave a fake smile and then praised Huyan Li for a long time.

But after hearing Xue Ye's insincere praise, Huyan Zhen actually felt quite pleased with himself, and then deliberately acted modestly.

Ning Fengzhi, standing to the side, suddenly spoke up, deliberately putting down the arrogant Heavenly Elephant Huyan Zhen, saying, "The disciples of Sect Master Huyan's clan are indeed strong, but it's a bit of a pity. They are facing the Team of the Gods. You should know that the Team of the Gods only sent one person last time, and they wiped out the Blazing Fire Team in less than half a minute, and they didn't even have to summon their Martial Soul."

Huyan Zhen was stunned for a moment. He had never thought that his sect's disciples would lose. In addition, the physique of their Elephant Armor Sect disciples was incomparable to others, so he naturally did not pay attention to their opponents. Only after hearing Ning Fengzhi's words did his gaze fall on the seven people from the Academy of the Gods.

At this moment, none of the seven girls on the Team of the Gods summoned their Martial Soul. Gong Lan led the remaining five girls backward, leaving Gong Xue alone standing in place.

However, Gong Miaomiao, who was slowly retreating, looked a little reluctant. Then she turned back to Gong Xue and said, "Eighth Brother, how about I fight this round? These chubby guys have thick skin, which is perfect for testing my Soul Skill."

Gong Xue, however, said pettily, "No way! These chubby little things are my prey. You're not allowed to interfere. If you want to test your Soul Skill, there will be plenty of opportunities later. Don't try to steal mine."

"Oh, alright then!" Gong Miaomiao turned back somewhat reluctantly, then quickly followed Gong Lan and the others.

On the Elephant Armor Academy Team's side, seeing Gong Lan lead her people to retreat, leaving Gong Xue to fight alone, and hearing Gong Miaomiao and Gong Xue talking, they were immediately annoyed.

"Damn it, they look down on us so much! Brothers, advance! Let's show them what we're made of!" Huyan Li roared in fury.

Subsequently, the First Soul Ring of all seven members of the Elephant Armor Academy Team lit up simultaneously. Under the effect of the first Soul Ring, a layer of crystalline color appeared on the originally dark yellow keratin on the seven fleshy mountains, making each of them look as if they were covered with a layer of glaze.

Then, the seven of them stood side by side, their feet planted firmly on the ground like sumo wrestlers. They all moved toward the center of the ring together, their massive bodies taking up almost half the diameter of the circular arena.

Although the seven people moved slowly, with each step they took, their aura increased, creating immense pressure or even oppression in others, both physically and Soul Power.

At this moment, a bright smile appeared on Gong Xue's face, followed by a cry that sounded like a phoenix but wasn't quite a phoenix, emanating from her body.
