Chapter 209

Inside the damp cave, Tang Hao looked at the writing on the wall and was already furious beyond restraint.

How could the people of the Spirit Hall find this place? I clearly cleared any traces, and I opened such a hidden cave—this is simply inconceivable!

Feeling the mixed fear and anger from Ah Yin, Tang Hao really wanted to charge straight into the Spirit Hall and kill the infiltrators on the spot.

Pfft!

Tang Hao, overcome with rage, suddenly spat a mouthful of blood, then staggered and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

From the emotions transmitted by Ah Yin, Tang Hao knew that the Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone had also been taken, which was originally meant for Tang San.

But now it's gone, Tang Hao has been suppressing immeasurable anger inside, yet he currently has no way to go to the Spirit Hall to vent, because he still needs to stay and teach Tang San.

Since Tang San has already added a soul ring to the Clear Sky Hammer, this martial soul should also be put to use; otherwise it would be too wasteful.

However, Tang Hao originally intended to give this soul bone to Tang San right now, so as to lay a more solid foundation for him, and then send him to that place for training.

Ah Yin's branches and leaves wrapped around Tang Hao's arm, and a concerned emotion began to surge.

Tang Hao gently stroked Ah Yin's branches and leaves bearing golden lines, his gaze softening: "Don't worry, the Spirit Hall will eventually repay what it owes us."

"Ah Yin, you don't need to worry about my body; I won't die anytime soon, and I still want to personally raise little three..."

After an unknown amount of time, Tang Hao cleaned the writing and bloodstains from the wall, then comforted Ah Yin for a while, and finally returned to the pool.

Tang Hao currently does not want to put too much pressure on Tang San in this regard, so he does not plan to tell Tang San any of this.

As for Tang San, he is now extremely worried inside; upon seeing Tang Hao's complexion turn even paler, Tang San wants to know exactly what just happened.

However, Tang Hao said nothing, merely saying lightly: "You're already rank fifty; I'll take you to obtain your fifth soul ring."

Tang San could not oppose Tang Hao, so he could only temporarily set aside his worries and doubts, follow Tang Hao again on the journey, and obtain his fifth soul ring.

Meanwhile, at the Spirit Hall, Gu Xuan had already brought the members of the Royal Battle Team back to the resting quarters; after a day of rest, they would return to the the Heaven Dou Empire.

Not long after returning to the resting quarters, Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin arrived; at this moment, everyone from the Royal Battle Team and the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect were in the lounge, celebrating their Royal Battle Team's championship and the the Heaven Dou Empire's championship.

Upon the arrival of Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin, Qin Ming, as the team leader, was very respectful, stood up and said: "Greetings, Sect Master Ning, Your Excellency Sword Douluo."

Ning Fengzhi smiled and waved his hand: "Teacher Qin, no need to be polite; you are Xuan's teacher, and I consider us peers."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming's heart felt both surprised and delighted, but he spoke apprehensively: "Qin Ming dares not overstep; moreover, the junior's guidance to little Xuan can basically be said to be optional, and I myself have achieved this breakthrough only thanks to his blessings."

Ning Fengzhi smiled at Qin Ming and said: "Teacher Qin, there's no need to undervalue yourself; your talent is not bad, and with sufficient resources in the future, entering the Titled Douluo realm is no problem; teaching little Xuan is more than enough."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming's heart was also very delighted; being affirmed by Ning Fengzhi is an opportunity ordinary people don't have.

And Gu Xuan at this moment also seized the opportunity, saying: "Yes, Teacher Qin, you are only thirty-six now, and your soul power is already nearly rank seventy; breaking through to Titled Douluo in the future is merely a matter of time."

"Why don't you come with us back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect this time? With the sect's resources, you will certainly step into the Titled Douluo realm within twenty years."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming's heart was actually quite moved; he was born a commoner, and the cultivation resources he received since childhood could be described as scarce, so his current achievements are entirely due to his own efforts.

Moreover, if he had had a faction's support back then, his fifth soul ring would not be merely a thousand-year level; if his fifth soul ring could reach ten-thousand-year level, he might already have broken through to the Soul Sage realm by now.

However, after later joining the Tian Dou Royal Academy, he also received the academy's blessings; his sixth soul ring was obtained with the help of three instructors, and now his team has won another championship; as he prepares to leave, Qin Ming's heart is deeply torn.

However, Gu Xuan doesn't care about this; after all, if Qin Ming truly had an inseparable bond with the Tian Dou Royal Academy, the original story would not have had him leave the Tian Dou Royal Academy to follow Shrek Academy.

Although at that time it was because Prince Xuexing did not allow Shrek to join the Tian Dou Royal Academy, Qin Ming has already graduated from Shrek Academy for a long time, so this also shows that his sense of belonging to the Tian Dou Royal Academy is not particularly strong.

Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect and he do not share deep feelings, the relationship between Gu Xuan and Qin Ming is still good; moreover, the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect is willing to provide him with cultivation resources, helping him ascend to the throne of Titled Douluo.

Basically, unless one is a fool, it's hard to refuse.

Therefore, under Gu Xuan's persuasion, Qin Ming later also agreed to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect; after returning to the academy, he resigned and then went to the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect.

As for the claim that Ning Fengzhi is poaching people from the the Heaven Dou Empire's royal household, if it were the original Ning Fengzhi he might not have done so, but now it's different.

With Gu Xuan this monster, plus the little monsters of the Seven Treasure Academy, the future Seven Treasure Glazed Sect naturally cannot be limited to being just one of the Top Three Sects.

Therefore, as the sect leader and an elder, he has long since begun paving the way for Gu Xuan and their future.

After a brief chat with Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin, Gu Xuan returned to his room to begin meditative recovery.

However, while meditating to recover, he was clutching a large handful of pills, all meant to restore soul power and origin.

If he relied solely on cultivation, he would need at least a month to recover, but with the pills refined from those high-grade medicinal herbs inside the Binghuo Liangyi Yan, this time will be greatly shortened.

On the other side, in the Hall of Worship, the Golden Crocodile Douluo was whispering with his elder brother Qian Daoliu, while Qian Renxue below couldn't hear at all what the second uncle and grandfather were saying.

Qian Daoliu, as one of the current generation's three supreme Douluo, naturally paid close attention to Gu Xuan and Qian Renxue's battle; in this fight he saw with his own eyes and highly acknowledged Gu Xuan's strength.

If someone on this continent still needed to be paired with Qian Renxue, that person would likely only be Gu Xuan.

Even in his view, a Qian Renxue of the same rank is far inferior to Gu Xuan; after all, Gu Xuan is only rank fifty-six, yet he defeated a rank seventy-four Qian Renxue in direct combat.

Of course, Qian Daoliu does not know how the future will unfold, but he knows that future Gu Xuan may not be able to catch up to Qian Renxue, because the Qian lineage are inheritors of the Angel God.

As long as Qian Renxue accepts the Angel God's inheritance, she can instantly leave Gu Xuan behind.

If it weren't for Qian Renxue's feelings toward Gu Xuan, he wouldn't even pay attention to Gu Xuan.

Because even if Gu Xuan has extraordinary talent, even if a person possesses great talent, if they cannot reach that realm in the future, they will ultimately amount to a handful of yellow earth.

As for becoming a god? The Douluo Continent has not seen a god for ten thousand years; even if Tang Chen once had peerless talent, has he now likewise vanished without a trace?

Regarding the inheritance of the divine position, the Qian family holds an absolute advantage.

Now the Golden Crocodile Douluo has informed Qian Daoliu of the wager between Qian Renxue and Gu Xuan, and this has also enlivened Qian Daoliu's thoughts.

If in the future Qian Renxue's side could have a genius like Gu Xuan accompanying her, this outcome is naturally something Qian Daoliu would be willing to see.

As for whether Qian Renxue will lose in three years? This basically falls outside Qian Daoliu's consideration, because after suffering this defeat, there's no need for Qian Daoliu to urge her; Qian Renxue herself will desperately train.
