Chapter 174: Yan Guoshi, Tang Zongguan
[Big brothers, Yan's ninth soul beast needs your reference, written at the end of the chapter. ]

After listening to Guimei and Yueguan's descriptions, Bibi Dong was shocked.

She didn't expect that Yan actually possessed three hundred thousand year spirit rings at the same time.

Yan's devouring ability is probably even more terrifying than that of her Soul-Eating Spider King.

Bibi Dong couldn't help but sigh in her heart that Yan's growth rate was too fast and he would soon break the record she held for being the youngest Titled Douluo in Douluo Continent.

After searching for Yan for so long, Bibi Dong finally waited for him to show up, but she couldn't do anything to him.

Even though Yan betrayed her, he is still a member of the Spirit Hall, with the support of Qian Renxue and Qian Daoliu.

It's not so easy to deal with him anymore.

Fortunately, Yan became the murderer of Tang San's father and also the enemy of Yu Xiaogang, so they would naturally find a way to deal with Yan.

After Qian Renxue successfully takes over the Tiandou Empire, her status in the Spirit Hall will definitely improve.

Bibi Dong will not sit idly by and wait for death. She proposes to re-elect the seven major sects to consolidate her own power.

the other side.

Tang San and his party arrived at Xingluo City and met Dai Mubai.

After learning the entire story of the Tiandou Palace incident, Dai Mubai was shocked and angry.

"I never thought that the gentle Xue Qinghe could be so vicious. In order to ascend to the throne early, he even killed his own father. The Spirit Hall is too much. That Yan is simply a demon! We must avenge the fat man and Teacher Erlong!"

Dai Mubai had long held a grudge against Yan.

At the Soul Master Competition five years ago, Dai Mubai had one ear destroyed by Yan's violent magma fist.

He permanently lost his left ear and had irreversible scars on his neck.

Not only has his image been damaged, but his hearing is also not as good as before.

In order to maintain his image as a prince, he had to wear a prosthetic ear all the time.

Over the past five years, the flame of revenge in his heart has grown stronger and stronger.

Every night when he took off the fake ear before going to bed, he would silently tell himself that he must return this shame to Yan.

Dai Mubai was also shocked to learn that Yan possessed three hundred thousand year spirit rings.

Yan’s current strength is far beyond his imagination.

But he was not afraid.

He will eventually become the king of the Xing Luo Empire, and will then seek revenge on Yan.

Yu Xiaogang said in a deep voice:

"Although Xue Qinghe is vicious, he is just a pawn of the Spirit Hall. The culprits of all this are the Spirit Hall and Yan."

Tang San continued:

"Mu Bai, Xue Qinghe has become a puppet of the Spirit Hall, and the Heaven Dou Empire is also under the control of the Spirit Hall. The Spirit Hall will not stop expanding, and their next plan may be your Xing Luo Empire."

"Humph! Let them come over here. Our Xing Luo Empire is not so easy to bully!"

Dai Mubai is very confident.

The Xingluo Empire ruled the country with iron and blood. Although it did not have large sects like the top three, its military strength was stronger than that of the Tiandou Empire, with a population of millions.

Yu Xiaogang reminded:

"Mu Bai, now is not the time to act rashly. The Spirit Hall has many spirit masters, and they also control the Heaven Dou Empire. Their strength is far beyond your imagination. They are ambitious, and they will definitely start their next plan after the Heaven Dou Empire stabilizes. So, before that, you must be prepared and improve your strength in the shortest possible time."

"Master, I understand."

Dai Mubai suddenly thought of something and continued:

"Dean, Master, Xiao San, at this point, there is no place for you in the Tiandou Empire. Come to our Xingluo."

Tang San nodded and said:
"Mu Bai, to be honest, this is the purpose of my trip. In that war, our Haotian Sect and Qibao Liuli Sect suffered heavy losses, but fortunately our foundation is still there. If we can move into Xingluo City, we will surely grow stronger again and fight against the Spirit Hall together with you."

Dai Mubai was pleasantly surprised after hearing this.

"Good brother. I've said long ago that I look forward to the day when we can work together for a great cause. This day has finally come!"

"Can you decide on this matter?"

"Of course no problem. I will go find my father right away. You wait for my good news."

"Ah."

Afterwards, Dai Mubai found Emperor Xingluo and told him the whole story.

After listening to Dai Mubai's opinion, Emperor Xingluo readily accepted it.

The Spirit Hall will sooner or later become the enemy of the Star Luo Empire. The addition of the Haotian Sect and the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect will greatly enhance the strength of the soul masters of the Star Luo Empire. After all, there are several Titled Douluo-level powerhouses among them.

Moreover, Tang San is good at designing and manufacturing powerful hidden weapons, which is also what Dai Mubai values.

If those hidden weapons could be used to arm the army, it would definitely greatly enhance their military strength.

Dai Mubai conveyed the good news to Tang San, and then ordered people to notify Tang Xiao, Ning Fengzhi and others at the border to move to Xingluo City.

~~~~~~~~
The reconstruction of the Tiandou Palace is proceeding in an orderly manner.

Yan took some time to come to Tianshui College.

Before this, he had already notified Huo Wushuang, Huo Wu and Feng Xiaotian to meet up at Tianshui College.

Seeing Yan again, everyone seemed very excited.

Yan had an extremely dazzling performance in the Tiandou Palace incident.

The news that he possessed three hundred thousand year spirit rings had spread throughout the Heaven Dou Empire, making him the most powerful fire attribute spirit master on the Douluo Continent. Countless fire attribute spirit masters regarded him as an idol.

After some greetings, Yan said:

"I came here this time because I have something important to give you."

Huo Wu joked:
"If Brother Yan makes a move, it must be something good."

Several people looked at Yan expectantly.

Yan gave each of them a magical herb and taught them how to condense their soul cores, which not only helped them improve their soul power, but also helped them increase their cultivation speed.

Each of them is grateful to Yan from the bottom of their hearts and regards Yan as their leader.

Yan took out four soul bones from the soul guide on his waist.

Judging from their shapes, they are the head soul bone, torso bone, left arm soul bone and left leg soul bone.

Looking at those soul bones with different colors, they were surprised and happy.

"Brother Yan, how come you have so many soul bones?"

"These four soul bones all come from Tang Hao, and now I give them to you."

"Give them all to us?"

"Well, I already have a few soul bones on me, so I don't need these. It's just right for me to give them to you."

Several people looked at each other.

There are five of them in total, but there are only four soul bones, which means that one of them cannot get a soul bone.

Feng Xiaotian said:
"I already got one soul bone when I hunted the wolf bandits last time. I don't want it this time. You four can divide these four soul bones."

Huo Wushuang smiled and said:
"Brother Tian, ​​then we won't be polite."

Several people reached a consensus.

Yan continued:

"In that case, let me take care of these soul bones."

"it is good."

Everyone is looking forward to it.

Shui Bing'er and Ye Lingling both have a head soul bone, but Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu have no soul bones yet.

Yan handed the head soul bone to Huo Wu and said:
"Huo Wu, you are a control-type soul master. This head soul bone is very suitable for you. Take it."

"Thank you, Brother Yan."

Huo Wu took the soul bone and was very excited. Yan knew that the skill attached to the head soul bone was the Eye of Awakening, which could not only enhance Huo Wu's mental strength, but also enable her, who had a hot temper, to stay awake and rational in battle.

Then, Yan handed the left arm soul bone with a faint red glow to Huo Wushuang.

"Wushuang, this left arm bone with fire attribute is a perfect match for you. It's yours."

"Thank you, Brother Yan."

Huo Wushuang excitedly took the soul bone, unable to hide the joy in his heart.

The skill attached to that left arm soul bone is Flame Lion, which can greatly increase the attack power of fire-attribute soul masters. Huo Wushuang already has explosive flame attacks, and after absorbing the soul bone, his attack power will become even stronger.

Afterwards, Yan handed the left leg soul bone to Ye Lingling.

"Lingling, this left leg soul bone can improve speed and defense, which is suitable for auxiliary soul masters. Take it."

"Thank you, Brother Yan."

Ye Lingling smiled slightly and took the soul bone.

The skill attached to that soul bone is the Invincible Golden Body, which can greatly improve defense after being activated.

There was only one soul bone left in Yan's hand, which was undoubtedly left for Shui Bing'er.

This soul bone was glowing with a faint blue light and looked a little bigger than the previous ones.

This is a torso bone, the best of the four soul bones, and it is over 50,000 years old.

Yan handed it to Shui Bing'er.

"Bing'er, this torso bone comes from a Phoenix soul beast, and it perfectly matches your Ice Phoenix martial spirit."

"Thank you, Brother Yan."

Shui Bing'er took the soul bone and was filled with joy.

Yan knew that the skill attached to that torso bone was the Heart of the Phoenix, which could not only improve Shui Bing'er's physique, but also greatly enhance her recovery ability. If she was accidentally injured in battle, it could speed up her recovery.

Everything was arranged, and the four of them sat down and began to absorb their own soul bones.

Time passed by minute by minute.

After Huo Wu, Huo Wushuang and Ye Lingling absorbed the soul bones, their soul power increased by one level.

Shui Binger's soul power increased by two levels, reaching level seventy-four.

Everyone was grateful for everything Yan had done for them.

Huo Wu asked:

"Brother Yan, will you stay in Tiandou City next?"

Yan nodded.

“Qian Renxue has just taken over the empire and still has a lot of things to do. I will stay and help her for a while.

The empire is under her control, Bibi Dong will not interfere too much, and your several elemental academies will be safe.

However, Bibi Dong may not be able to stay quiet for long, as war will break out in the next few years.

Therefore, you must continue to practice hard and improve your own strength."

Yan knew that Bibi Dong would not give up and her crazy plan would be implemented sooner or later.

"Brother Yan, we will practice hard."

"Yes. Also, after Qian Renxue takes over the empire, she will make a major reform to weaken the power of the nobles and give preferential treatment to the common people. Therefore, all the major soul master academies will also be open to the children of common people."

Shui Binger smiled and said:

"This is good. We can train more soul masters. Accepting civilian students has always been the philosophy of our Tianshui Academy."

Yan nodded and said:

"Xiaotian, Huowu, when you go back, you must also be prepared to accept civilian children into the school."

"Okay, we get it."

Everyone trusts Yan and follows his arrangements.

~~~~~~~~
A few days later, Yan returned to Tiandou City.

When I saw Qian Renxue, I found that she looked not well.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"It's not a particularly important matter. I expected Tang San and his group to flee to the Xing Luo Empire. However, I didn't expect Xue Xing to take away 100,000 troops and defect to the Xing Luo Empire."

"One hundred thousand rebels is not a small number. But there is no point in keeping those who are not loyal to the empire."

"You're right. The rebels will only waste food and financial resources. I should have killed him in advance!"

"Now that things have come to this, don't take it too seriously. What we need to do now is to stabilize the situation in the empire first."

"Well, it looks like I need to speed up my pace."

The old forces of the Tiandou Empire are deeply rooted, and it will not be possible to completely eradicate them overnight.

But the empire is already under Qian Renxue's control, and any force that stands in her way will be ruthlessly eliminated.

After the restoration of the palace was completed, Qian Renxue officially ascended the throne of the Tiandou Empire as Xue Qinghe, and worshipped Yan as the national teacher to govern the empire together.

Qian Renxue knew very well that in order to consolidate her position, she had to win the hearts of the people. Therefore, a series of carefully planned people-friendly policies came into being.

Under her leadership, the economy of the Tiandou Empire gradually recovered and the living standards of the people improved significantly. Her name became deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and she became known as a "benevolent monarch" in the eyes of the people.

In the process of implementing the new policy, Qian Renxue inevitably encountered obstruction and resistance from the old forces.

Those nobles who once held great power were unwilling to see their interests being infringed upon, so they united and tried to stop Qian Renxue's reforms.

Qian Renxue used iron-fisted methods to deal with those disobedient nobles one by one and deterred those forces that were ready to make moves.

Over the past year, under her control, the Tiandou Empire has become increasingly stable and has shown new vitality.

~~~~
the other side.

After the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and the Haotian Sect moved into Xingluo City, they received attention and support from the Xingluo Emperor, which gave them hope of reviving their sects.

Emperor Xing Luo knew that the joining of these two major sects was not only an enhancement of strength, but also a gathering of wisdom and glory, which had immeasurable value for the future of the Xing Luo Empire.

Tang San's talents were also brought into play here.

Tang San was entrusted with an important task by Xing Luo Emperor and was appointed as the general manager, responsible for designing and supervising the creation of hidden weapons for the Empire's weapons bureau.

The improved Zhuge Divine Crossbow can exert unimaginable lethality on the battlefield.

They lower the threshold for users, so that even ordinary soldiers with no soul power or weak soul power can skillfully use these hidden weapons to fight against higher-level soul masters after a short training.

As Tang San's masterpiece, the Zhuge Divine Crossbow aroused great interest and admiration from the Xingluo Emperor.

Its unique launching mechanism and powerful penetrating power demonstrated amazing destructive power in the actual combat demonstration, shocking everyone present.

Emperor Xingluo decided to use this hidden weapon to form an elite force for the empire, in order to significantly enhance the empire's military strength and combat capabilities in a short period of time.

Without the interference of the Spirit Hall, Tang San can create hidden weapons without restraint.

However, the manufacturing process of Zhuge Divine Crossbow is extremely complicated and costly. Even with the help of the empire's massive investment of resources, large-scale mass production cannot be achieved.

But, something is better than nothing.

The appearance of Zhuge's divine crossbow greatly boosted the morale of the Xingluo Empire's army.

They believe that on future battlefields, no matter what kind of enemy they face, they will be able to defend the dignity and glory of the empire with the weapons in their hands.

~~~~~~~
That night, Yan finished his training and felt refreshed.

While helping Qian Renxue consolidate her regime, he was also practicing hard. After being stuck at level 90 for nearly a year, he finally made a breakthrough.

This means that you can hunt soul beasts and obtain the ninth soul ring.

[Yan is still lacking the torso bone and right leg bone. The torso bone will be taken from the million-year-old deep-sea demon whale king, and the right leg bone will be taken from the ninth soul beast.

Two choices for the Ninth Soul Beast:

1. The Red King, who has been practicing for more than years, has the ultimate fire attribute.

2. A lava earth dragon evolved from the earth fire lizard king is set up. It is hundreds of thousands of years old, a sub-dragon species, and has both fire and earth attributes. 】
