Chapter 85: Tang Hao Goes Mad
🕑 Added 2024-03-05 13:16:25 +0000 UTC"Xiaowen, you finally came back," Qin Ming and others exclaimed upon seeing Su Wen.
Since setting off to hunt down the Third Spirit Ring, Su Wen had been practicing under Poison Douluo's guidance, as they learned from Dugu Yan.
However, they were still curious about the extent of Su Wen's progress in his training.
"Xiaowen, now that you're back, you should join us in the upcoming training," Qin Ming said.
At this point, Yu Feng whispered to Su Wen about their next phase of training plans.
"Xiaowen, Teacher Qin Ming is planning to take us to the Great Spirit Arena in major cities for competitions. We will visit cities within the Heaven Dou Empire with Lord Spirit Halls. In each city, we will stay for seven days, allowing us to experience different styles of Martial Spirit and combat," Yu Feng explained to Su Wen quietly.
Su Wen understood.
So that's how it is.
In simple terms, it's about challenging everywhere.
In the Great Spirit Arena of Heaven Dou City, although there are plenty of talents from the entire Heaven Dou Empire, and many outstanding Spirit Masters, it's ultimately their home ground, familiar to them.
It's different in other cities.
A foreign team enters, challenging for seven consecutive days. As long as they win all matches, the local Great Spirit Arena will suffer greatly.
Because the main source of income for the Great Spirit Arena is still gambling, and due to the home advantage, the audience tends to bet on the famous local teams.
After three consecutive losses, the Great Spirit Arena usually starts to selectively pick teams to counterattack the foreign teams, preventing them from winning continuously.
In Heaven Dou City, they might not face the most formidable opponents, and the chances of encountering them won't be too high.
However, in other cities, during the seven days, they will likely spend at least three days being targeted, engaging with some of the most outstanding local teams.
This is also the reason why Qin Ming established this plan.
"By the way, Xiaowen, you probably don't know yet, but our teacher Qin Ming broke through level 60 during the time you were away," Yu Feng revealed to Su Wen with an admiring expression.
"It is said that our teacher Qin Ming is the second youngest Spirit Emperor recorded by the Spirit Hall. Even his sixth Spirit Ring was personally hunted with the help of Meng Shenji, the chairman of our three major boards of education."
Su Wen was surprised by this news.
Qin Ming broke through level 60?
However, he quickly accepted it.
Qin Ming's talent is indeed remarkable in the current era of the Douluo Continent.
However, the title of the second youngest Spirit Emperor is likely to be overtaken soon.
'I am already level 48!'
Su Wen dared not be sure whether the lofty goal of level 60 could be achieved by the time he turned eighteen.
"By the way, Xiaowen, what level are you now?" Yu Feng asked curiously.
In the past year and a half, their team of seven has made remarkable progress.
Now, even the captain has reached level 38.
"I just got certified at the Spirit Hall, level 39," Su Wen replied.
"What?" Yu Feng doubted his ears, his voice cracking with disbelief as he looked at Su Wen.
Su Wen scratched his head, feeling embarrassed. "Grandpa Dugu has a lot of good stuff. My Soul Power cultivation also progressed quite fast along with it."
The seven fell silent.
Dugu Yan appeared lost in thought.
My grandfather has a lot of good stuff?
To be honest, she didn't really know about that before.
"Captain, and Yu Feng, you guys better work hard. Sister Yan will probably have a Soul Power breakthrough soon," Su Wen reminded them.
Yu Tianheng and the others looked at Dugu Yan.
"Sister, sister, do you think I have the potential to be a pretty girl?" Yu Feng shamelessly approached.
Yu Tianheng narrowed his eyes, emanating a powerful aura that made Yu Feng quickly shut up and step back on his own.
Dugu Yan was still lost in thought at this moment, paying no attention to Yu Feng's joke.
She probably understood what Su Wen meant by the growth period of Soul Power.
"Grandpa definitely has some good stuff for accelerated cultivation without side effects, but I used to suffer from Martial Spirit toxins backlash. The more I accelerated my cultivation, the worse the backlash became, so he never gave me anything," Dugu Yan explained.
However, with Dugu Bo's exploration techniques, coupled with Su Wen's blood assistance, the toxins in Dugu Yan's body had eased considerably.
They weren't eliminated, but they were preliminarily under control.
If they could find a suitable Spirit Bone, then there would truly be no worries, and they could use treasures to accelerate Soul Power cultivation without any concerns.
Qin Ming interrupted the conversation among the nine members of the team.
"The plan to go to various major cities has been finalized. We'll depart in half a month. This remaining half month is your final training time. I hope that in the upcoming Spirit Fights, you can return with a flawless record of victories," Qin Ming stated.
"Brother Xiaowen, I've already reached level 29 in my training!" Ning Rongrong said proudly, showing off her progress to Su Wen.
At her current age, not yet twelve, she had already cultivated her Soul Power to level 29. She was an Auxiliary Spirit Master.
Of course, her rapid progress was also due to her favorable conditions. Whether it was through medicinal baths or the Mimetic Environment, Su Wen even shared with her the Internal Strength Soul Power Circulation Route that he had when he first arrived in Heaven Dou City.
"Well done. After these three months of challenges, I estimate you could even break through to level 30," Su Wen remarked.
"Hehe, I'm still far behind compared to Brother Xiaowen," Ning Rongrong stuck out her tongue.
The Soul Power Circulation Route she was practicing now was given by Su Wen, and it was developed by Su Wen himself. Naturally, she admired Su Wen a lot.
Of course, the main reason was that if she wanted to play with fire, she could only rely on Su Wen.
Being an Auxiliary Spirit Master and mastering the feeling of power was truly addictive. Ning Rongrong, at present, was like an addicted little girl who couldn't break free.
"Oh, by the way, Brother Xiaowen, my dad has been looking for you many times. He said he wants to meet you if you come back," Ning Rongrong said.
"No problem."
"Hehe, then I'll have someone inform my dad right away."
...
Nuoding City.
The figure of a sturdy man dressed in tattered black robes, with his entire body concealed, appeared.
After a meal, the man in black robes left Nuoding City.
His pace was quick, covering dozens of meters in just a few steps, swiftly heading deeper into the mountains outside Nuoding City.
Within the mountains, in a valley filled with the essence of heaven and earth, the man in black leaped down from a nearby peak and arrived at the edge of a lake.
Tang Hao, returning to this valley, had eyes that were once filled with infinite tenderness, now turned razor-sharp in an instant.
He sensed that something was wrong.
With a swift leap, he ascended through the waterfall and arrived behind the cave.
However, the cave was now dark, devoid of the small grass emitting a faint blue light that was once there.
Tang Hao's aura began to stagnate, emitting a terrifying deterrent force.
A blood-red Soul Power, tinged with the scent of slaughter, filled the air.
His eyes turned crimson as he stepped towards the spot where Ah Yin, whom he had personally planted, had been uprooted. Endless killing intent burst forth from within him.
He looked up at the top of the cave, where the black box containing the Spirit Bone left for his child was also missing.
"Who is it?"
"I'll kill you!"
Tang Hao's murderous intent surfaced, followed by a spurt of blood as he collapsed to the ground.
