Douluo Continent: Starting with a Self-Created Soul Ring 73

Chapter 73: Tang Hao’s Changing Face

Watching Tang Hao’s familiar figure, Gu Ziyue’s gaze slightly darkened.

Gu Ziyue hadn’t forgotten that Bai Lu’s letter mentioned Tang Hao’s original intention was to beat him up.

He even threatened that if Tang Yuehua was with him, it would be a disgrace to the sect.

Therefore, Gu Ziyue’s gaze towards Tang Hao couldn’t help but carry a hint of coldness.

If given the chance, Gu Ziyue certainly wouldn’t mind striking back.

However, Gu Ziyue was also clear that he was no match for Tang Hao at present.

Therefore, this Soul Master Tournament was an opportunity to target Tang Hao and prevent him from winning the championship.

Gu Ziyue believed that if he succeeded, he could definitely annoy the other party and deal a blow to Tang Hao’s pride.

This was one of the reasons why Gu Ziyue was interested in this tournament!

As for killing Tang Hao, that wasn’t the case; they didn’t have that deep of a feud.

Besides, although Tang Chen had retired, he was still at the Hao Tian Sect!

“Both teams’ members have entered the arena. Now, please have both teams release your Martial Souls!”

“…Now, I announce the start of the match.”

With the host’s announcement, the Hao Tian team’s match quickly began.

Their opponents were the Xiang Jia team, also a team that pursued an extreme strategy. All members were disciples of the Xiang Jia Sect, their Martial Souls being Diamond Mammoths, known for their defense!

Facing the Hao Tian team, all team members formed a defensive formation, focusing on defense.

Their strategy was to exhaust the Hao Tian team’s Soul Power before counterattacking.

Thus, this battle turned into a protracted war of attrition.

The Xiang Jia team’s defense was astonishing; the Hao Tian team couldn’t break through for a while!

“First Soul Skill:金刚如意环 (Diamond Wish-fulfilling Ring)!”

“Second Soul Skill:疾风如意环 (Gale Wish-fulfilling Ring)!”

“Third Soul Skill:魂力如意环 (Soul Power Wish-fulfilling Ring)!”

Tang Yuehua timely added three auxiliary auras to the team members, increasing their strength, speed, and Soul Power.

As for the fourth Soul Skill,磐石如意环 (磐石如意环 – Immovable Rock Wish-fulfilling Ring), she didn’t release it because the team members didn’t need increased defense for the moment, and she wanted to conserve her Soul Power.

As Tang Hao had predicted, Tang Yuehua, whose Soul Power level was initially lower than Gu Ziyue’s, had just broken through to level 40 before the start of the competition.

She was now a 41-level Soul Emperor.

The effects of her first four Soul Rings’ skills were identical to the Qi Bao Liu Li Sect’s Martial Soul.

This was because the auxiliary order of the Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda was considered the best by the Hao Tian Sect; after all, it was the optimal configuration developed by the Qi Bao Liu Li Sect over many years.

Therefore, when adding Soul Rings to Tang Yuehua, the Hao Tian Sect directly copied the Qi Bao Liu Li Sect’s method, hunting corresponding Soul Beasts according to the Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda’s auxiliary effects. That’s why Tang Yuehua’s Soul Skill effects were exactly the same as the Qi Bao Liu Li Sect’s Martial Soul.

“Good, we see that under the Hao Tian team’s attack, the Xiang Jia team is completely powerless, only able to passively defend!”

“Let’s see how long the Xiang Jia team can hold out, and whether they can ultimately reverse the situation!”

“Let’s wait and see!”

“It’s clear that with the Soul Skill buffs from Tang Yuehua, the Hao Tian team’s auxiliary member, their attacks are even fiercer.”

“It looks like the Xiang Jia team won’t be able to hold on much longer!”

“I’m sure everyone is curious why the Hao Tian team, which always uses an extreme strategy and only includes disciples of their own sect, has added an auxiliary member this time.”

“That’s because this woman named Tang Yuehua is not only a direct descendant of the Hao Tian Sect, but also the daughter of the sect master, Tang Hao, the captain of the Hao Tian team!”

“Her Martial Soul, the Wish-fulfilling Ring, is a variation of the Haotian Hammer.”

“The reason why everyone wasn’t familiar with her before is that although Tang Yuehua possessed a congenital Soul Power level of 9, she was unable to cultivate.”

“Therefore, everyone knew little about her, because the Hao Tian Sect didn’t want outsiders to know!”

“According to reliable sources, at the age of 12, Tang Yuehua was still unable to cultivate, and even the legendary old sect master who founded the Hao Tian Sect and possessed the cultivation of a Title Douluo couldn’t solve his granddaughter’s problem.”

“But everyone sees now that Tang Yuehua not only can cultivate, but has become a powerful Soul Emperor!”

“All this is also related to another familiar person.”

“That is Gu Ziyue, the disciple the Martial Soul Temple’s Pope took in many years ago. Gu Ziyue used his wisdom to solve Tang Yuehua’s inability to cultivate.”

“It was because of his intelligence that Gu Ziyue was noticed by the Martial Soul Temple’s Pope!”

“It seems the Hao Tian Sect even gifted him a three-thousand-year-old Soul Bone as a thank you.”

After watching the two teams get locked in an unsightly stalemate, the host suddenly started talking about Tang Yuehua.

This was information the host had gathered over the past few days.

Because everyone was very interested in this beautiful and unique woman. Why was she allowed to join the Hao Tian team?

“Ah…”

“So that’s how it is…”

“So Gu Ziyue was originally favored by the Pope because of his intelligence!”

“The Hao Tian Sect is so generous, they actually gifted a Soul Bone.”

“I think it’s more accurate to say they were stingy!”

“Tang Yuehua’s value is far beyond a three-thousand-year Soul Bone…”

“…”

After learning about Tang Yuehua, the audience gasped in surprise.

Some were surprised that someone with congenital Soul Power level 9 couldn’t cultivate.

Others were surprised that she had been helped by the Martial Soul Temple Pope’s disciple to solve her cultivation problem.

Some admired the Hao Tian Sect’s generosity.

Others thought the Hao Tian Sect was stingy.

In short, while getting to know Tang Yuehua better, they also learned more about Gu Ziyue.

“Hee hee, Junior Brother, the host knows quite a lot!”

“Junior Brother, look, Tang Hao’s face seems to have darkened.”

Bi Bi Dong, who had come to watch the match with Gu Ziyue, unexpectedly heard this introduction from the host.

Then she saw Tang Hao’s face on the stage suddenly turn very ugly, and quickly told Gu Ziyue.

“Mm!”

Gu Ziyue responded with a sound; he hadn’t expected the host to know this. The Martial Soul Temple and the Hao Tian Sect hadn’t publicized Gu Ziyue solving Tang Yuehua’s cultivation problem.

It seemed this host had a close relationship with the Martial Soul Temple!

As for why this news was released at this time, Gu Ziyue didn’t know; Qian Xunji had his reasons.

Gu Ziyue couldn’t, nor did he want to, stop it.

At this moment, he was more interested in enjoying Tang Hao’s expression.

Even though the Hao Tian Sect was the biggest beneficiary of this matter, Gu Ziyue didn’t understand why Tang Hao was so angry.
