Douluo Continent: Starting from Awakening the Vermilion Bird Martial Soul

“That’s right.” Di Hong nodded.

"Then how did you cultivate to level 69? Did you take drugs?" Tang Hao really wanted to know how he did it. He was fourteen years old, not forty.

"No." Di Hong shook his head. He couldn't possibly tell Tang Hao that he was at the 20th level of the Innate Realm.

"Really? I don't believe it."

Tang Hao looked at Di Hong expressionlessly. This was a lie. How could one increase their soul power level so quickly without taking drugs? However, he was very curious about what kind of drug could increase a soul master's soul power level so quickly.

Di Hong was utterly helpless.

"You really want to know?"

"Hmm." Tang Hao nodded like a chick pecking at rice; he was very eager to know.

Di Hong leaned close to his ear, as if afraid others would hear, acting very mysteriously.

"Seeing your sincere attitude in asking the question, I will reluctantly make this decision that goes against our ancestors, but I will only tell you this to one person, and you must not tell anyone else."

"Mmm." Tang Hao's eyes lit up; he felt like he was about to learn something extraordinary.

"Actually, the reason why my soul power level has increased so quickly is mainly because of the secret manual passed down by my ancestors."

"What secret manual?" Tang Hao asked impatiently.

"effort."

After saying that, Di Hong left with a smile, and Tang Yuehua and Tang Xiao behind him couldn't help but laugh as well.

Tang Hao stood there, stunned.

"Brother Hao, don't you think about it? Even if someone has a way to quickly increase your soul power level, would they tell you?"

Tang Xiao really couldn't do anything with his younger brother; he was too straightforward and believed everything people said.

"Big brother." Tang Hao wasn't angry; his face was completely expressionless.

"what happened?"

Unleashing his Clear Sky Hammer martial spirit, Tang Hao shouted, "Don't stop me! Today I'm going to show him what the power of the Clear Sky Hammer is all about. He actually tricked me!"

After saying that, he picked up the Haotian Hammer and prepared to chase after him. He was determined to test his skills against Di Hong today.

Tang Xiao quickly stopped him.

"Be more composed. This is Wuhun City, where private fights are not allowed."

Tang Yuehua also came over and said, "Second brother, you are too impatient. People treat you like a child. You need to change that."

After saying that, she chased after Di Hong in the direction he had left. Tang Hao was stopped and had nowhere to vent his anger, so he had no choice but to endure it.

After catching up with Di Hong, Tang Yuehua apologized to him.

"I'm sorry, please don't take it to heart by my second brother. That's just how he is; he didn't do it on purpose."

"Huh?" Di Hong smiled.

You don't think I'm angry, do you?

"No?" Tang Yuehua asked doubtfully.

Di Hong laughed and said, "How could that be? Your second brother is quite interesting."

"Now that we're out here, let's take a look around Wuhun City."

"Mm." Tang Yuehua smiled and nodded.

The two then strolled around Wuhun City.

Under the sunlight, the shadows of the two people on the ground gradually overlapped and intertwined.

Tang Hao was somewhat astonished to see the two people chatting and laughing ahead of him.

"Isn't their relationship progressing a little too fast?"

"Besides, it doesn't seem appropriate for the two of us to come along."

"After all, she's our sister, so we have to be careful in choosing her," Tang Xiao said calmly.

"That makes sense. I'll definitely fight him when I get the chance." Tang Hao patted his chest.

"Alright, alright, I'm not talking to you anymore. All you do is hit people."

Tang Xiao really didn't want to say anything more.

Wuhun City truly lives up to its reputation as a holy land of the Soul Master world. Soul Masters are everywhere, along with shops selling Soul Master supplies. Even Soul Guidance Devices, which are rare outside, are not so uncommon here. With the Soul Master Exchange Conference about to begin, Wuhun City is now a melting pot of all sorts of people. However, with the presence of the Wuhun Hall patrol team, no one dares to cause trouble.

Even Soul Masters with high Soul Power levels won't cause trouble.

Otherwise, they will only face the punishment of the Spirit Hall.

The Star Luo Empire's Soul Masters lived not far from the Heaven Dou Empire's Soul Masters, so it was easy for the two sides' Soul Masters to run into each other. Free Soul Masters were fine, but the Soul Masters belonging to the two empires, especially those from the Royal Academy, would immediately become tense upon meeting.

However, neither of them showed any intention of taking action.

The atmosphere was already tense even before the exchange meeting started.

Both sides were eager to show their skills, and they could only put their talents to the test when the exchange meeting began.

Chapter 49 Familiar Yet Strange People

The Spirit Hall invested a great deal of manpower and resources in this Soul Master Exchange Meeting, and specially set up a venue in Spirit City for the participating Soul Masters to conduct Soul Battles.

On the day of the Soul Battle, almost everyone in Wuhun City came to watch. Wuhun Hall did not restrict the entry of civilians for this exchange meeting. After all, Wuhun City is a city, and although it is a holy land for soul masters, there are still civilians.

To prevent any accidents, the Spirit Hall specially mobilized two thousand spirit masters to maintain order at the scene and prevent any spirit masters from causing trouble. At the same time, a titled Douluo was also arranged to be present to demonstrate the prestige of the Spirit Hall.

This exchange meeting wasn't just attended by people from Wuhun City; many people from the two great empires also came to witness this grand event. However, most of them arrived too late; Wuhun City had already closed, and outsiders couldn't get in.

On the day of the exchange meeting.

The delegation from the Heaven Dou Empire arrived at the exchange meeting venue. The audience seats were packed with people, almost every seat was taken. The entire venue was made of special materials, which were strong enough to withstand attacks from Soul Masters below the Soul Saint level.

"The Spirit Hall is really rich and powerful."

Di Hong looked at the entire arena and couldn't help but be surprised. Putting aside everything else, the Soul Arena alone would consume a lot of resources, not to mention the entire arena. Moreover, the Spirit Hall had also set up many soul tools around the arena.

The rest areas were located on both sides of the venue. Since this was just an exchange meeting and not a competition for Soul Masters, the Spirit Hall divided the rest areas into camps for the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire, as well as some free Soul Masters who had already registered.

Because the Soul Masters participating in the exchange meeting had varying levels of Soul Power, the Spirit Hall, after discussing with the two great empires, divided them into several groups.

Soul Masters at level 60 to 70 are grouped together.

Soul Masters of level 50 to 60 are grouped together, and so on.

This would prevent Soul Emperor-level Soul Masters from bullying Soul Venerable-level Soul Masters. If such a thing were to happen, the Spirit Hall would have made a fool of itself and become a laughing stock.

"After all, it's the Spirit Hall," Ning Fengzhi said indifferently. The Spirit Hall was only doing this to show off their status, and he didn't care about it.

"Brother Ning, are you also going to participate in the exchange meeting?" Di Hong suddenly teased.

This is the rest area, and usually only Soul Masters who participate in the exchange meeting will be here. Ning Fengzhi, as the sect leader of the three upper sects and a support-type Soul Master, will not participate.

Ning Fengzhi smiled.

"I just came to take a look. To be honest, it's a real pity. If I weren't a support-type Soul Master, I would definitely have signed up to participate."

"You're joking. You're one of the top three sects, the number one support sect in the world. If you were to provide support, how could the other side compete?"

"Hahahaha." Ning Fengzhi shook his head.

"You."

"Although it's an exchange meeting, you still need to be careful. Your elder brother and His Highness the Crown Prince don't want to see you get hurt."

After giving his instructions, he left.

Neither he nor Xueye were here; they had a special VIP section right next to the Pope's seat.

Before the exchange meeting even started, the Soul Masters in the rest area were all eager to participate. There were many Soul Masters participating in the exchange meeting. Because the competition was divided into different levels, there were naturally several Soul Arenas. Each Soul Arena was a hundred meters apart, and Soul Guidance Devices were placed around the Soul Arena. When the Soul Battle started, a shield would be activated to cover the Soul Arena and prevent the Soul Power from affecting other areas.

As Soul Emperor-level Soul Masters, their Soul Battle Arena is the most important venue.

Tang Hao and Tang Xiao walked over.

"Are you nervous?" Tang Xiao asked.

Di Hong shook his head.

"What's there to be nervous about? I hope we don't run into each other then, because I won't hold back."

"Please don't," Tang Hao said.

"I do hope you won't hold back. If we really meet, I'll do my best to see who's stronger and I can vent my anger."

“Alright.” Di Hong smiled helplessly. The probability of a showdown between him and Tang Hao was not high. After all, this was an exchange meeting between the two great empires organized by the Spirit Hall. The exchange was mainly between the two great empires, namely the Heaven Dou and the Star Luo.

The Spirit Hall also had some Soul Masters involved, but not many, only a few.

"His Holiness the Pope has arrived."

Someone said something, and everyone's eyes turned to the high platform not far away.

Qian Xunji, Xue Ye, Ning Fengzhi, and Dai Yutian, the crown prince of the Star Luo Empire, appeared there. Looking at Qian Xunji, Di Hong couldn't help but sigh that the Qian family's genes were still very good. As the son of Qian Daoliu, Qian Xunji was very handsome and a rare handsome man.
