Douluo: Martial Soul Body, I’m True Master

In the darkness, Snake Lance Douluo gently patted Porcupinefish Douluo on the shoulder.

“Relax.

Think about it, being able to Breakthrough to Titled Douluo is already our luck.

What if we’re right, what if we’re wrong?

What if the Grandmaster’s theory also has problems?”

Even though these words came from Snake Lance Douluo himself, he didn’t believe them.

The dense theoretical output just now not only benefited them greatly but also made them clearly realize that in terms of understanding Spirit cultivation, there was a world of difference between them and the Grandmaster.

Especially the more one had their own insights into cultivation, the deeper the awe they felt for the Grandmaster.

Before becoming a Titled Douluo, seeing the Grandmaster was like a frog in a well looking at the moon in the sky;

Once entering the Titled Douluo rank, seeing the Grandmaster again was like a mayfly seeing the blue sky.

The gap seemed to become increasingly vast.

“Is that so?”

Xue Qinghe’s throat felt dry as he spoke slowly, his tone full of complexity.

“Your Highness needn’t worry.

Even if this part of the potential isn’t developed, it won’t have much impact on daily cultivation.”

Tang Shan comforted him simply, deliberately ignoring the spirit power circulation route that automatically emerged in Su Yuntao’s body after entering that state.

That was definitely a coincidence.

Without entering the Martial Soul Fusion state, at most the combat power would be slightly inferior, with no other drawbacks.

Don’t let this Miss Angel’s mentality collapse; definitely don’t overthink it.

The Seraphim Spirit is most likely, probably, perhaps, possibly not a Beast Spirit.

Just Cultivate obediently.

Tang Shan himself wasn’t sure if this method would work on the Seraphim, but to prevent Qian Renxue from overthinking and developing serious self-doubt, he actively changed the subject.

“I wonder, Your Highness, if I join your subordinates, what kind of treatment can I receive?”

Xue Qinghe was stunned for a moment, barely suppressing his increasingly chaotic thoughts, and responded without hesitation: “All kinds of cultivation resources will be maximized.

I will report to my Imperial Father later; at least two ten thousand year spirit bones will be provided.

The Spirit Beasts needed for each cultivation stage will be found and helped to hunt by the Empire.”

A hint of struggle flashed across her Face, then as if she had made some kind of decision, she added solemnly: “If I ascend the throne in the future, when you reach the Nine Rings, I will pay any price, owe many favors, and ask several Titled Douluo to act together to help you hunt a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast.”

Hiss!

Su Yuntao, sitting to the side, couldn’t help but gasp.

That was a hundred thousand year spirit ring, a hundred thousand year spirit ring with two Spirit Abilities!

Plus, a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast 100% produces a Spirit Bone, and absorbing the same type of Spirit Bone can exert the maximum effect.

In other words, Xue Qinghe was equivalent to directly promising a hundred thousand year spirit ring and a hundred thousand year Spirit Bone.

Such a grand gesture was truly shocking.

Tang Shan was also quite surprised.

During the douluo one era, the strength iteration was far inferior to the douluo two era.

At this time, Titled Douluo did not yet have Soul Cores.

In the douluo two era, a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast that could be easily killed by a Super Douluo could completely fight a Super Douluo to a draw in the douluo one era.

Moreover, the Super Douluo’s Physical Body strength was inherently inferior to a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast.

To truly kill a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast was extremely difficult.

Look at the current Supreme Pontiff; she has twin spirits, is undergoing the Rakshasa God Trial, possesses many rule-based Spirit Abilities, and is assisted by many Titled Douluo, including two who possess a Spirit Fusion Ability.

Yet even so, hunting the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python still took immense effort, and in the end, those two Spirit Beasts sacrificed themselves to Tang San.

From this, one can see how heavy Xue Qinghe’s final promise was.

Although many prerequisites were added to the promise—one being her ascending the throne, and the second being Tang Shan needing a ninth spirit ring (becoming a quasi-Titled Douluo)—it was enough to see how much she valued Tang Shan.

Feeling that the other party’s recruitment conditions were generous enough, Tang Shan no longer hesitated.

He knew very well that to get more, he must first show greater personal value.

He couldn’t expect the other party to keep increasing investment based only on the pie he drew.

He had a clear understanding of himself; he wasn’t a ‘failed art student’ with such outstanding eloquence.

It was more reliable to show his strength and let the other party actively increase the investment.

“Since Your Highness is so sincere, I will no longer hesitate.

If you treat me as a Great Scholar of the State, I shall repay you with the world.”

Tang Shan stood up and gave a deep bow to Xue Qinghe.

Xue Qinghe hurriedly helped him up and asked him to sit down, then turned his gaze to Su Yuntao.

“Since Shan Zi has joined Your Highness, I won’t hesitate either.

I will follow Your Highness’s orders from now on.”

Su Yuntao grinned, looking like he followed Tang Shan’s every word.

“Good, good, good!” Xue Qinghe was overjoyed.

With the help of Tang Shan and Su Yuntao, two exceptionally talented heroes, why worry about the Heaven Dou Empire not prospering in the future?

Moreover, the two were the Grandmaster’s Disciples.

Since your Disciples are in my hands, even if you want to leave in the future, you might not get your wish.

As for the Grandmaster currently being in closed-door cultivation, Xue Qinghe firmly believed that with the Grandmaster’s Prodigy-like talent, the Limit Douluo Bottleneck was nothing.

Grandmaster, you are destined to fall into my control.

Seeing Xue Qinghe’s bright smile, a chill inexplicably rose from Tang Shan’s back, as if he were being watched by something ominous.

This feeling didn’t seem to come from those two Titled Douluo, so what was this sudden bad premonition?

Subconsciously, Tang Shan felt an urge to protect Xue Qinghe in front of him, but he eventually forced it down.

“Your Highness, I wonder what your subsequent orders are?”

Tang Shan was very conscious of being a subordinate.

Having just submitted to Xue Qinghe, he actively asked for assignments.

Of course, he also felt that given the current situation, Xue Qinghe likely didn’t have much for him to do immediately.

“No need to be so respectful.

Tang Shan, if you don’t mind, call me Brother Xue from now on.”

“Etiquette cannot be discarded.

It is better for me to call you Your Highness.”

Tang Shan replied this way, but his heart was calculating.

What a joke.

Calling him ‘Brother Xue’ now, if the other party’s true identity is exposed later, wouldn’t he have to change it to ‘Sister Xue’?

He also wanted Face; how could that be allowed?

Xue Qinghe couldn’t persuade Tang Shan, so he let him continue to call him Your Highness.

Su Yuntao was older than Xue Qinghe, so he also followed Tang Shan in calling him Your Highness.

“Tang Shan, the only thing you need to do now is focus on your Cultivation.

Only when your cultivation level is up can you truly help me.

You don’t need to worry about other things.”

Xue Qinghe’s orders were exactly as Tang Shan expected, and he nodded seriously in agreement.

“By the way, you are now at rank nineteen, not far from rank twenty.

You should prepare to find a Spirit Beast for your second spirit ring.

Do you have any thoughts on this?”

Tang Shan was delighted; wasn’t this the benefit coming?

If he relied only on Su Haichao, with his strength, whether going to the Star Dou Great Forest or the Sunset Forest, it would not only be full of dangers, but finding a suitable Spirit Beast would be even more difficult.

Even with good luck and safely finding a Spirit Beast, it wasn’t certain if Su Haichao could successfully wound it.

Now having successfully joined Xue Qinghe, whether it was the overt power of the Prince’s Mansion or the secret power of the Spirit Hall, both could become aids in his search for Spirit Beasts.

When the time comes to find the target Spirit Beast, going directly to kill it and absorb the spirit ring would be simply too pleasant.

“Reporting to Your Highness, I’m not yet clear on exactly how many years the second spirit ring can absorb; I haven’t had time to test it yet.

After all, my Body Martial Soul has an extraordinary bonus to physical fitness, and since the first spirit ring is already at the thousand-year level, the age of the second spirit ring might be much higher than the first.

As for the type of Spirit Beast, it’s best to prioritize those with strength attributes.

If the Spirit Beast’s skills have strength attributes mixed with some mental attributes, it would be even more perfect.

My True Body Martial Soul also covers the brain.

Absorbing this type of spirit ring should be of significant benefit to the Body Martial Soul.”

Xue Qinghe’s eyes moved.

Speaking of which, she had never truly seen Tang Shan and Su Yuntao’s full strength.

“I understand.

I will send people to the various Spirit Beast forests to find a suitable Spirit Beast as soon as possible.

As for the age of the spirit ring absorption—”

,

She looked up at the sky outside the window and continued: “Tomorrow.

Come over tomorrow.

I have several powerful guards by my side; it’s more than enough for them to test your physical fitness and the upper limit of spirit ring tolerance.

Besides, I also want to see for myself what’s so special about your True Body Martial Soul, Tang Shan.”

“Then I will trouble Your Highness tomorrow.”

Tang Shan thanked her again.

“Since you’ve joined my subordinates, I should naturally help you solve these cultivation problems.”

Xue Qinghe turned her gaze to Su Yuntao.

Before she could ask, Su Yuntao spoke first: “Your Highness, I’m still some distance from my cultivation Bottleneck, so I’m not in a hurry to find a spirit ring.

And according to the teacher’s arrangement, the Spirit Beast I absorb only needs to be a wolf-type, and the higher the quality, the better; there are no special requirements for attributes.

If there’s any need in cultivation, it’s that I hope Your Highness can arrange more opponents for me to spar with.

I’ve found that I progress faster in battle.”

“Of course, no problem.”

Xue Qinghe agreed without hesitation: “Since you want to find opponents to spar with, in a few days I’ll go to General General and see if I can arrange for Spirit Grandmasters in the army to compete with you.

“Then many thanks to Your Highness.”

“It’s nothing.” Xue Qinghe’s eyes flickered, her heart already calculating: with Su Yuntao’s strength, crushing the Spirit Grandmasters in the army would certainly be no problem.

At that time, she could use the competition to see the attitude of the people in the army toward her.

If things weren’t looking good, that plan should be put on the agenda.

Anyway, when only one choice remains, Old Man Xue Ye should be able to see the situation.

After all, I am his’son’; no matter how dissatisfied he is, he must consider the future of the Heaven Dou Empire.

The three briefly discussed the situation on the continent until the sun set, and Tang Shan took the initiative to bid farewell.

Xue Qinghe saw the two to the door and specially dispatched his own carriage to take them back to the inn where they were staying.

Watching the carriage go far away, Xue Qinghe returned to his seat.

Silently, two figures appeared beside her.

“Uncles, what do you think of them?”

Xue Qinghe closed her eyes slightly.

Obviously, after a busy day, even though her cultivation was not weak, she was already somewhat exhausted.”
