Douluo Continent: Life-Giving Blue Silver Grass, Immortal

Chapter 71 The Far-sighted Emperor Xueye

Lin Hao touched the storage soul tool and took out a crystal ball for testing soul power from the storage ring.

Dugu Bo thought to himself, "It shouldn't be more than level 52!"

Ordinary Soul Masters who obtain a fifth Soul Ring with a ten-thousand-year limit will not have a limit exceeding fifty-two.

Lin Hao touched the storage crystal ball with his palm, and the crystal ball emitted a dazzling light.

"Level 56!" Dugu Bo exclaimed in shock, "Your soul power level has increased by six levels?"

Compared to Dugu Bo, Lin Hao was very calm.

"I've consumed many herbs before. Their medicinal properties remain in my body, enough to support me in raising my cultivation to over level seventy. My spirit power will remain on the top of the bottle for a long time, and it will explode when I obtain a spirit ring!"

……

The Heavenly Dou Empire, Imperial Palace.

"Brother, the preliminary rounds are over, and the qualifying rounds are next! Senior Dugu has sent word that he and Lin Hao are on their way back. They won't be late for the Royal Academy's competition!"

"You value Lin Hao highly, don't you?"

"Brother, although his martial soul is Blue Silver Grass, his temperament, intelligence, and skills are all outstanding. He is a rare talent."

"Is he really already a five-ring Soul King?"

"Level 56 Weapon Soul King!"

"Level 56? He just obtained his fifth spirit ring, and his spirit power has increased by six levels?"

"Absolutely true, as evidenced by Senior Dugu's own handwritten letter!"

Prince Xuexing handed a letter to His Majesty Xueye, who was seated on the throne.

His Majesty's gaze swept across the letter on the snowy night.

"I remember he was fourteen years old!"

"Yes, fourteen years old, level fifty-six soul power. He broke the record for the youngest person to break through level fifty in the soul master world in a thousand years. He is even more outstanding than Qin Ming! With him, our Heaven Dou Empire has a chance to break the Spirit Hall's record of consecutive championships!"

"Spread the word: let him focus on the competition. If he can lead his team to victory, I'm willing to elevate his viscount title to earl!"

"Brother, Senior Dugu said in his letter that Lin Hao has his eye on that forest!"

"Give it to him!"

"Yes, ma'am."

"Fulfill whatever he asks for, within your authority!"

"Yes, sir!"

Lin Hao, who had just obtained his fifth spirit ring, was unaware that his casual remark to Dugu Bo about his interest in the Blue Silver Forest had led to him being bestowed a title by His Majesty Xueye.

There is no other reason.

The Heaven Dou Empire has long suffered under the Spirit Hall.

Looking across the Heaven Dou Empire, the only Title Douluo truly willing to fight for it is Dugu Bo.

Although Chen Xin and Gu Rong are citizens of the Heaven Dou Empire, they belong to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

In times of war, Chenxin and Gurong will not directly obey His Majesty Xueye.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has over five thousand Soul Masters, plus wealth that rivals that of a nation.

Sometimes, in the dead of night, His Majesty Xueye would wonder if Ning Fengzhi would have rebelled and usurped the throne if there were no Spirit Hall and Starfall Empire.

If such a thing were to happen, Chenxin and Gurong would not only fail to help the royal family, but would instead become a major threat to them.

The royal family only has one titled Douluo.

Lin Hao's appearance gave His Majesty Xueye hope of keeping the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in check.

If the Heaven Dou royal family had two Title Douluos, it would greatly reduce the threat posed by the two Title Douluos of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Therefore, when Lin Hao revealed to Dugu Bo that he wanted the Blue Silver Forest, His Majesty Xueye did not hesitate for long and directly granted Lin Hao's request.

……

Wuhun City.

After a period of qualifying rounds, the competition has finally reached its final stage.

Yes, the incident of hunting down Tang San on the way still happened.

Tang San was lucky and escaped unscathed. Knowing the danger, he still followed the team to Wuhun City to participate in the finals.

Although Shrek Academy made it to the finals, it lost to Tianshui Academy in the preliminary rounds and then to Blazing Fire Academy in the individual qualifying rounds.

Shrek Academy finished third in the preliminary rounds but lost to Thunder Academy, Blazing Academy, and Skywater Academy in the qualifying rounds.

Unlike the original storyline, there is no new Kamikaze Squadron.

The Royal Fighting Team 1 was a seeded team that directly entered the finals, without having shown their skills in the preliminary and qualifying rounds.

For the finals, the Spirit Hall specially built a dedicated arena. The enormous arena is a hundred meters in diameter and is entirely constructed of granite.

"Next match: Heaven Dou Royal Academy vs. Blazing Fire Academy!"

Let's first take a look at the teams and lineups of both sides!

"Blazing Fire Academy is known for its powerful offensive capabilities. The captain and vice-captain are standing at the forefront. A typical offensive formation."

"And the Royal Fighting Team..."

"Huh, what does this mean?"

"The six members of the Royal Fighting Team retreated to the edge of the arena, creating a considerable distance between them and the other member."

"I have hosted countless major competitions, and I have never seen such a strange formation before."

"It's neither a defensive formation nor an offensive formation. What kind of formation is it?"

Yu Tianheng answered loudly, "This is a one-against-seven formation!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned.

The students from Blazing Fire Academy were initially taken aback, knowing that this was the finals. Different rankings yielded different rewards.

In order to achieve a better ranking, no college will be arrogant enough to underestimate its opponents.

Huo Wu clenched her fists tightly and roared, "How dare they look down on us! We'll burn them alive and make them beg for mercy!"

Huo Wu is overthinking it.

Royal Fighting Team is a seeded team, but they didn't participate in the preliminary rounds or qualifying rounds. Most people don't know the true strength of Royal Fighting Team.

Mystery is also a form of strength.

Not knowing your opponent's fighting style can easily lead to making wrong judgments.

Based on the above considerations, Lin Hao decided to follow the example of the previous winner, Spirit Hall Academy, and have himself fight against Blazing Fire Academy. If he showed signs of defeat, others could intervene later.

Qin Ming, who was leading the team, adopted Lin Hao's suggestion.

It's worth mentioning that after that incident in Soto City, Flander and his group didn't come to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy to "borrow resources." When they entered the city, they happened to see the "GG" sign posted at the city gate and went directly into Blue Tyrant Academy, which is now the New Shrek Academy.

After learning about the matter, Qin Ming did not leave the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, but instead went to drink with Lin Hao that night!

"I declare, three, two, one, the match begins!"

All seven members of Blazing Fire Academy summoned their respective martial souls.

They were all four-ring Soul Masters, with standard Soul Ring configurations of two yellow and two purple.

Huo Wushuang's lips curled into a slight smirk as he said in a mocking tone, "Let me see if you're qualified to take on seven at once?"

"Alright, then let me show you properly."

Lin Hao raised his miraculous right hand, turned his empty hand upside down, and a blue-gold Blue Silver Grass appeared in his palm.

At the same time, five spirit rings rose up from beneath his feet.

The colors of the spirit rings, from the inside out, are yellow, purple, black, black, and light red.
