Douluo Continent: Starting from Awakening the Vermilion Bird Martial Soul

"Since you know my identity, you should also understand that if you stay, you will have no other choice."

"You're not even six years old yet, can you really make the decisions you want to make?"

"Yes." Although young, Goron was already able to understand many things, and he naturally knew what this meant.

"Hmph, hmph hmph hmph hmph." Di Hong couldn't help but chuckle.

"Alright, alright, Goron, right?"

"Yes," Goron replied.

Di Hong said calmly, "From now on, your life belongs to the royal family."

After saying that, he left.

Chapter 30 Ambition

The Star Luo Empire's attack was sudden, and they hadn't received any news of the border's fall. Although the city where Golong's father was located wasn't a strategic location, it was still on the border.

Di Hong walked and thought.

It's only been a few days since we returned from Tiandou City. Could it be that the Star Luo Empire's 400,000-strong army has already been assembled? That's far too fast.

That's an army of 400,000! If they had already assembled and launched an attack, they couldn't possibly be unaware of it.

The Star Luo Empire doesn't have the ability to hide an army of 400,000.

Unless they deploy Soul Masters, and in considerable numbers, in past wars, the two great empires rarely used a large number of Soul Masters to participate in the war. After all, it is not easy to train a high-level Soul Master, and the resources required are enough to train an army of thousands or even tens of thousands.

Especially Soul Masters at the Soul Saint level, they are beings capable of rivaling thousands of troops.

Therefore, the two great empires only use Soul Saint-level Soul Masters when a massive war breaks out. Soul Douluo-level Soul Masters are rarely used because their numbers are limited. Unlike the Spirit Hall, they don't take out dozens of Soul Saints and Soul Douluos at a time.

There are several Title Douluos, and that's just the ones on the surface. Are there any hidden ones? Of course there are. As far as Di Hong knows, the Spirit Hall has more than a dozen Title Douluos. There are only so many Title Douluos on the entire continent, and the Spirit Hall accounts for more than half of them.

The Haotian Sect currently only has two members.

One of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family members.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has none.

Among the free Soul Masters, Di Hong only knew of one, Chen Jianjun. As for his son, Chen Xin, he had gained some fame on the continent, but he was not yet a Title Douluo-level powerhouse. Gu Rong had never even heard of him.

Throughout the entire Heaven Dou Empire, aside from free Soul Masters and those from families and sects, there are only a handful of Soul Douluos belonging to the Imperial Soul Master Corps. Including the Soul Douluos in the army, there are only about ten, and not a single Title Douluo.

The loss of even one soldier in battle is enough to break one's heart.

The Star Luo Empire has more Soul Douluos than they do, but they won't be mobilized. As for Title Douluos, he guesses that the Star Luo Empire probably has Title Douluos, but he doesn't know the details and therefore doesn't know.

He refused to believe that the Dai family's ruthless method of rising to power hadn't produced a single strong individual.

The Spirit Hall's influence in Star Luo City is very weak, far less than that of Heaven Dou City.

As long as the Spirit Hall exists, the two empires will never engage in a war of annihilation; such a conflict would only result in the two sides fighting while the third party benefits.

After returning to his bedroom, Di Hong kept looking at the sky outside.

"When the mainland is unified, the world will be one."

Ever since the idea of ​​unifying the continent popped into his mind, he couldn't shake it off no matter what he did.

He knew he was being delusional and overestimating his abilities, but he just wanted to do it. How would he know if he didn't try? Even if he failed, he would have done it, and dying a spectacular death would be a perfect ending.

So many people want to live a spectacular life but can't seem to achieve it.

"If we want to achieve unification, we need the support of our father and elder brother."

He had no interest in the throne, and the future king of the Kingdom of Sylves was Di Yang, so he absolutely could not succeed on his own without their support.

However, they were all family. He knew his father and brother quite well. None of them, including himself, were loyal ministers; they were all treacherous. If the empire hadn't been so powerful, they would have rebelled long ago.

Especially Emperor Yuan, who was the ruler of a country, how could he be willing to be subservient to others? Not only him, but all the kingdoms were the same.

Everyone has ambitions.

It could be said that, from the empire's perspective, these kingdoms were all potential major rebels.

With the power of the kingdom and a little planning, perhaps there really is a chance.

Spirit Hall

This immense power might actually be worth utilizing, but it's a double-edged sword, and we must be careful. Cooperating with the Spirit Hall is like asking a tiger for its skin; if we're not careful, we'll be devoured.

But if he makes good use of it, his chances of success will be much greater.

He knew that the Spirit Hall was no longer satisfied with the status quo and wanted to change it, but it did not have the ability to do so for the time being. Although there were many spirit masters, as long as he showed his ambition, the two great empires would definitely unite to fight against him.

However, things changed after Bibi Dong came to power. My Spirit Hall reached its peak under her leadership, but at the same time, it was destroyed under her leadership.

What is gained here will also be destroyed here.

The Spirit Hall poses a greater threat to the Empire than to these kingdoms, so in his view, if used properly, the Spirit Hall can be a natural shield.

However, for now, we still need to improve our strength.

Turning his gaze away, Di Hong found a small notebook and began to write.

"Goron".

"Bibi Dong."

"Qian Renxue."

"Tang San."

He wrote down the four names. These four people were very important to him. After having the idea of ​​unifying the continent, he had a plan for Golong: to train him first and then send him to the army of the Heavenly Dou Empire.

To put it bluntly, it's about being an undercover agent.

Since Goron was able to become a pillar of the empire and commander of the army in just a few decades, he must have his own abilities.

The last three names are even simpler.

Bibi Dong is the final villain, a pitiful yet hateful woman, but he doesn't care.

Needless to say, Qian Renxue is his negative example. Instead of cultivating to become a god, she went undercover in the Heavenly Dou Empire. But it's good, she can help him eliminate a lot of trouble.

Tang San goes without saying. He's the protagonist, the future Sea God and Asura God, the main force against the Spirit Hall, and the vanguard against the Spirit Hall. To him, the Spirit Hall is an enemy. Without him, the Spirit Hall would have unified the continent directly.

After writing down the four names, he suddenly stopped and then burned the notebook.

After that, he went to see Di Yuan and told him about the training plan for Golong.

"Goron?"

"The child you picked up?"

Di Yuan was puzzled. His son had come to see him, but it was only for the child he had taken in. Why was he suddenly so concerned?

“That’s right,” Di Hong said. “In another two months, he should awaken his martial soul.”

"At that time, I hope that Father will give him special attention in his training, in addition to cultivating his martial spirit, he should also study military affairs."

"Can you guarantee that he will become a Soul Master?" Di Yuan asked.

Di Hong nodded slightly. If Ge Long couldn't become a Soul Master, then who could? Not only could he become a Soul Master, but he also had great talent. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to become a Soul Douluo-level Soul Master in his fifties.

With proper training, it won't be a problem for him to become a Title Douluo in the future.

I can afford to wait.

"Okay, I understand." Di Yuan didn't care. It was just one person anyway. Since Di Hong was confident, he had nothing more to say.

It's no big deal.

"In military matters, what do you think about having him learn from Shen Yi?"

“Okay.” Di Hong naturally agreed. His uncle, Shen Yi, was the kingdom’s number one general, and there was no one more suitable than him in the entire kingdom.

Chapter 31 Scaled Armor Army

In the days that followed, Di Hong spent part of his time cultivating and the other part researching the unification of the continent. Although the matter was far from being realized, it did not stop him from making some plans.

Golong also successfully awakened his martial spirit.

His martial soul is Yazi, and his innate soul power has reached level nine, which is also a title.

After his martial soul awakened, he was truly shocked by Di Yuan. His son had just picked up a random person and actually found a genius. If he could train him well, they would have two titled Douluo-level powerhouses in the future.

Di Hong and Ge Long are two titled Douluo.

Di Ming, in particular, had already begun to fantasize about how he would walk around with his head held high in the future. Which kingdom had a Title Douluo? The empire didn't have one.

After the martial soul awakened, Di Yuan immediately arranged for Ge Long's training. At Di Hong's request, he did not choose to send Ge Long to the Soul Master Academy, but instead kept him in the palace for secret training.

Although he didn't understand, he still did as his son asked.

At the same time, Shen Yi was also arranged to provide him with military training.

And just like that, a year passed.
