77 The Hammer Martial Spirit Collected
For the first time in recorded history Douluo continent had one single ruler, and that was the Heavenly Dou Empire.
Consolidation didn't take much as reservists were called forth as well. Accompanied by elders from Spirit Hall it was a smooth process.
"So, it finally started. It was one short fight." First Worship said to his little brother.
"Long'er used his Deva Monk Martial Avatar to overrun the whole battle. People who saw it simply could not comprehend what they saw. Some of the out lookers said that part of the sky was turned pure gold and the monk itself was clouding sun rays casting shadow on an enormous amount of land.
It is not false to say that some people didn't even understand what they were facing." The Golden Crocodile Douluo said with a sigh.
He remembered facing the Deva Monk Martial Avatar way before it was giant clouding the sky… the progress of this Martial Avatar was stupidly fast, to say the least.
"Yes. Long'er started the conquest way before we even planned." Qian Daoliu said with no care about this. It was good regardless.
"This leaves Sea God's Island and the Slaughter City to fall for the Prince's rule. Once that is done the continent will belong to us." Second Worship said with a smile.
"Yes. No more unnecessary wars and waste of resources for unnecessary things. A new era for the Douluo Continent is about to begin."
~~~
The speed of the conquest has caught the majority of the clans off guard. Not many foresaw that Xue Long's power would reach such a high level. No one could predict that Martial Avatars could continuously evolve and grow like this.
Something like a monstrous being clouding the very sun destroying millions of soldiers in just a few moments. This was power beyond what Titled Douluo could achieve.
Now everyone was wondering… will his eyes turn back to his Empire and the clans which inhabit it? The partially autonomous clans? Will he demand obedience?
Clans like Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, or Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan… even Clear Sky Clan were starting to feel restless.
Should they change their stance against the Heavenly Dou Empire? After all, they are part of it but the autonomy they enjoyed is because of the inability of the Royal family. Now that the royal family is this strong…
Their survival instincts are flaring up.
Is it time for them to butter up to the Prince?
~~~~~~~Xue Long~~~~~~
The prince looked at the white Tiger martial Spirit which he was holding. 'Holding' is not in literal terms, but it was done with spirit energy, he is not to allow it to dissipate as it didn't have any means to hold itself into the physical world now since the connection has been severed between the host and the martial spirit.
"You severed martial spirit from its host? What are you going to do with it now?" Qian Renxue asked curiously as she inspected the tiger which was standing next to the blonde prince.
"I will give it either to Zhu Zhuqing or Zhu Zhuyun. I want to see how they will solve this."
"Fighting? Do you want them to fight? It will lead to even more bitterness between those two. They are already disliking each other quite a bit." The blonde angel girl said what she knows about those two.
"That's where you're wrong. Zhu Zhuqing dislikes her sister and tries to provoke her. But Zhu Zhuyun likes her little sister as the whole attack back then was to make sure she leaves Star Luo. In other words, she doesn't want her little sister to end up in the bloody affairs of the royal family.
What I want is to see the resolve of those two. Who is more worthy of the White Tiger Martial Spirit?" Xue Ling said that as he looked at the evil eyes of the White Tiger.
"I see… and you think it will not turn out into a bloody fight from simple competition?"
"Of course not. They are not allowed to do that." Her fiance said with an eye roll. Their bickering is not allowed to escalate into some sort of hatred-driven thing.
"Let's return to the Capital. We can leave the administration and all that nonsense to my uncle." Xue Long wrapped his hand around Qian Renxue as they started to float.
The blonde snuggled into his side as she quickly decided that she wanted to be carried by him! The Crown Prince could only comply with her wishes as he picked her up in princess carry.
As they were flying rapidly through the wilderness, close to where the border used to be between the empires, Xiao Long saw a waterfall. He stopped in his tracks and focused on his senses. His spirit sense picked up quality but not quantity which SHOULD come with the quality of Spirit Energy.
Simply put, someone powerful is extremely weakened and is recovering behind the waterfall.
He then looked around and realised that he was quite close to where Holy Spirit village should be.
Well…' close' is a stretch, but for someone with his Spirit Rank, it's close.
"Why did you stop here?"
"I found something. Let's go and see what it is." As he said that he started to descend.
As he landed on the ground Xue Long lowered Qian Renxue on the ground and proceeded to walk towards the waterfall.
As someone who has a Water core, he made the waterfall simply split in half as he approached. Eventually, his eyes ended up on a single strand of bluegrass.
Did he just find Ah Yin?
"That's a piece of blue silver grass… what a strange location for it to grow. There is barely any sun here." Qian Renxue said that as she stood next to her Fiance and looked around.
"This is not just any grass. The quality of Spirit Energy this piece of grass has is that of the Great Beast." Xue Long said that with a slightly small smile.
Yes. He will be taking this with him back to the Sunset Forest. Where he will grow it properly.
"...Great Beast?" Now her eyes widened as she focused on the grass. She could sense something was off…
As in it had too much energy for simple grass.
"I will be taking this with me. A Blue Silver Grass like this will grow nicely in our gardens." As he said that he pulled out a pot from storage and motioned for the ground to move.
He took it out and placed it in the pot quite effortlessly.
Though he could sense some panic coming from the grass and that he triggered an imprint left behind by a certain someone.
As the pair were leaving the cave.
Xue Long heard a roar… followed by a large hammer incoming at him.
The Crown Prince grabbed it and then simply pushed it back. Sending back whatever tried to hit him with it.
The attacker slammed and went through several trees, the person was like an unstoppable force smashed through them.
"That was rude! Attacking me like this! So many uncivilised people around here." Xue Long said that as he brushed invisible dust off himself.
"That was TANG HAO! I will beat the living daylight out of him!" The Angel girl shouted with glee as her wings manifested behind her. She took to the skies and looked where the hammer swinging 'Regular Blacksmith' was!
Seeing him there standing up the blonde beauty grinned with a sadistic look as she activated her angel descent and rushed down.
"Deva Diamond Palm!"
Mixing her Ring ability with Martial Avatar to deliver a devastating attack!
*BOOM*
Clouds of dust erupted as it was a direct hit.
Tang Hao tried to use his hammer to block the strike but the size of the palm strike was bigger than his whole body. So the attack hit him regardless.
His whole body felt rattled and he could not feel his arms anymore. The girl was early Titled Douluo but she was hitting harder than Hyper Douluo at least!
Seeing that he was able to hold back to some extent Qian Renxue then did a spin and kicked directly into Tang Hao's neck. Sending him flying several metres once again.
This time he didn't get up anymore.
"So much for Clear Sky Douluo. I have heard the explosive power of your clan. Truly dangerous when attacking. But when you are forced to defend… you don't have the means to do that." The blonde said with a mocking smile. She walked over and picked him up quite casually and floated back to where Xue Long was standing.
"Take his Martial Spirit away. Think of this as my gift to the Maid Initiative." The blonde said that as she dropped the beggar Tang on the ground.
"Oh? That's a good idea. I was thinking of crippling him but that is good as well."
As Xue Long said what he thought about how to deal with Tang Yuehua's request. But now his Fiance gave an offer of her own.
After all, it all depended on how Qian Renxue wanted to deal with Tang Hao. It was her grudge, not his. Even though the guy attacked him twice now… randomly.
"Yes. And then we can bring him back to the Clear Sky Clan. They do care about him quite a bit." His blonde fiance said with a smile. They are going to build bridges with the Clear Sky Clan once again and at the same time get back at him. It was the perfect solution in the blonde angel girl's eyes.
"I see, very well." As he said that he once again did Yin and Yang motion and started to separate the Clear Sky Hammer from Tang Hao.
This… has caused the beggar Tang to trash around like crazy as the pain he was feeling was enormous. It's like something was getting ripped out from him in the most painful way possible!
Before long the hammer formed above his body. Xue Long 'grabbed' it with his Spirit Energy. He looked at the thing. It was quite a big one and he could feel Titled Douluo cultivation inside of it.
He then looked at the Tiger and realised that he took cultivation as well!
The prince only now noticed it! when he pulled out the hammer. It appears Dai Weisi cultivation was so small that he needed another look just to realise that it was there!
Without much bothering he used his technique once again. The spirit rings spilled out from Dai Weisi's tiger… soon enough they disappeared completely. He then looked at the hammer and repeated the same action.
Only this time he 'captured' the 100 thousand-year-old ring.
"...what are you going to do with it?"
"The spirit ring has the same residue as the grass."
Xue Long's words made Qian Renxue look at the grass with a realising gaze.
"So this is why he attacked with such ferociousness!"
"But what a foolish man. He has no idea how to raise vegetation. He even put you in a dark and damp cave. As if wanting you to root away. And you have chosen such a man as your husband? The more I heard about this the more I believe he used you." The blonde said that specifically to the plant, she now believes that the plant can understand her. And from the fluctuation of the energy, she was right.
"Are you going to give back that 100 thousand year old Spirit Ring to the plant woman?" The girl now asked him as her gaze went from the grass to her fiance.
"Yes. But it will take time for the grass to absorb so much energy. It's easier to rip it out than put it back to how it was." He said that as he made the ring flow and end up surrounding the blue silver grass.
The grass started to greedily absorb the cultivation of the ring.
Sure enough, after dealing with the nutcase known as Tang Hao the pair started to fly once again back to Heavenly Dou Capital.
This time with some extra luggage.
However, Xue Long's mind was preoccupied with where he would want this beautiful-looking grass to grow.
