The power of time lies in the fact that it never stops moving forward for anyone.

While Lin Hao continued to stay at home for a while, the semi-finals of the Douluo Advanced Soul Master Battle Tournament, held in the Great Soul Arena of the Heaven Dou Capital, finally selected the teams to go to Wuhun City.

While Lin Hao continued to stay at home, the finals also kicked off in Wuhun City.

If Ning Rongrong and Yang Rui hadn't asked Sword Douluo to come directly to Lin Hao's residence to arrest him, he might have missed the start of this grand drama.

Of course, the reason he could stay at home for so long without eating or sleeping was because he had created some good stuff under the influence of some strange force, which I think is similar to what I'm talking about.

The specific details need not be elaborated upon. In any case, Lin Hao, who originally only wanted to create an energy core for the battle armor, took various rare materials and the remaining divine power of the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King and tinkered with them for a while. Halfway through the creation, he thought of the mutual generation of the five elements.

Then, using the principle of the five elements' mutual generation and restraint in an endless cycle, he further refined these two things, creating five energy cores with ultimate attributes. After that, the subsequent developments completely deviated from his original intention.

Then, when the Sword Douluo rushed into the secret room prepared for Lin Hao by the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, he saw Lin Hao stuffing a semi-transparent crystal that looked very much like a soul core into his soul ring.

Don't ask Chen Xin how he knew about soul cores. What other reason could there be besides Lin Hao specifically telling him about them and asking him and Gu Rong to scout ahead?

Anyway, after stuffing it in like that, Lin Hao discovered that his spirit ring could absorb external energy and evolve on its own, although this evolution was very, very slow, and it was also related to the spirit master's spirit power level, soul quality, and physical endurance.

But by doing this, he opened a path for Soul Masters who were unable to undergo the Divine Trial!

Who knows, maybe a few hundred years from now, the cultivation system of Douluo Continent will be able to break away from the system of spirit rings as the number of high-level spirit masters increases?

Although the thing he created is actually more suitable for some true geniuses, since if the soul power level and quality are not high, then this thing will not improve the user much.

However, the mere possibility of accelerating or strengthening a martial soul by influencing the age of its spirit rings is enough to make many hopeless soul masters serve him to the death. Of course, this is on the premise that he is powerful enough that no one dares to betray him or even try to steal his spirit.

As for how this thing came about, and whether it's possible to increase production further, that remains to be seen.

Looking up at the enormous machine filled with technological black boxes with a bewildered expression, and at his forging hammer, which was infinitely close to Soul Forging and whose aura was as majestic as a mountain, and the Soul Guiding Carving Blade that gleamed with a sharp and cold light, Lin Hao, whose state of mind had been interrupted by Chen Xin, fell into a long period of contemplation.

"How did I make this thing?"

Meanwhile, Lin Hao's true form, who had secretly opened a backdoor for himself, continued to hide deep within the star core.

After being dragged by the collar by Sword Douluo all the way from the Heaven Dou Empire to the Spirit Hall, Lin Hao, who had been feeling dizzy since leaving his mysterious state, almost fainted as soon as he landed.

After greeting Dugu Bo, who had taken over as Sword Douluo and protected Ning Fengzhi for a period of time, he came to Yang Rui's side in a daze.

He wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, leaned on the girl's slender yet incredibly reliable shoulder, and began to close his eyes to rest, completely ignoring the gazes of the people around him and the noisy scene.

As for why the old poison master who had just fought Tang Hao a few months ago would run out of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye?

It can only be said that the Spirit Hall as a whole has always been quite inhumane in its dealings with non-Spirit Hall Soul Masters. Moreover, now that his own granddaughter has also come to the Spirit Hall, he has no choice but to come out and protect her to avoid any accidents.

Today is the final match of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament, a showdown between the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall and Shrek Academy.

"Brother Lin Hao, why are you only arriving now?"

A lively voice approached from afar. Turning around, one saw Bai Chenxiang, disguised as Yu Feng, walking over with a look of surprise.

"Oh, it's agarwood? It's nothing, just some little trinkets. I missed the deadline, but I'll go back after this competition. Your grandfather misses you. By the way, you can come over after you've finished your things at home. Considering our friendship, I can give you something nice."

As he spoke, he yawned loudly, then leaned against his wife and continued to sleep, making Yang Rui unable to maintain his cold expression. This also caused Bai Chenxiang, who was now idle after the battle, to chuckle.

The sound coming from above the Spirit Hall's Grand Arena drowned out all the noise. With an announcement from a bishop Lin Hao didn't recognize, the final match of the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Tournament finally began.

As the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation, vying for the championship, and the Shrek team, which replaced Oscar, made their appearance, Bibi Dong, the Pope of the Spirit Hall, who had been absent all along, suddenly appeared in the most eye-catching spot.

On the papal throne.

Lin Hao glanced at the arrogant woman out of the corner of his eye, and after finally commenting that she had a really good figure, he secretly pinched his little wife's thigh. It was very elastic, and apart from the fact that her breasts were a bit too big for her, it wasn't bad at all.

Then, his toes were firmly stepped on by the girl in front of him.

Her earlobe, which he had been pressing against, suddenly felt hot.

It is clear that his actions were too stimulating for the girl.

However, once the bishop, whose identity Lin Hao still didn't recognize, announced the start of the match, Yang Rui lost interest in paying him any more attention.

After all, although her future man was too powerful, giving her a bunch of cheat codes she never even thought of, allowing her to unleash her full power and rival Soul Saints in combat strength, it was precisely because she was with her man that she had only ever seen legendary beings that she would never have been able to see at her original level, and she had always been fighting in the peak competition.

She surprisingly developed a strong interest in this battle, which represented the pinnacle of the younger generation across the entire continent.

Although there weren't many standout performances from the semifinals to the finals, what if she really ran into Zero, one of those inhuman cheaters she kept talking about? Although she didn't even know what a cheater was?
