Chapter 80: Establishing Prestige

In the end, Liu Erlong unconsciously failed to notice that his faith in the theory of the top ten core competitiveness of martial soul had begun to waver.

"Xiao Gang's theory must be correct; Yang Yun is merely an exception; the theory applies to the vast majority of cases."

Liu Erlong tried to convince himself in his heart.

After seeing Yu Tianheng's letter, he tidied himself up and set out to catch up with the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon's team.

Because Liu Erlong accompanied them, the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon no longer needed to send an escort; Liu Erlong alone was sufficient.

Breaking Heaven Sect.

Yang Yun received the information sent back by Sharp Feather Hall; Liu Erlong was following the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon family's team on the road toward Breaking Heaven Sect.

As for Liu Erlong, Yang Yun didn't plan to attack his heart, but maybe his Dao.

The ancestor of rubbing patterns once said, to conquer a man you must first go through his digestive tract; to conquer a woman, it's through what she understands—everyone knows that!

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. Even earlier, several days ago, envoys from all factions had already arrived at the capital of the Star Luo Empire, Star Luo City, and settled there.

The Star Luo Empire's royal family booked several top‑grade hotels in the city to show a modest congratulatory gesture for the founding of Breaking Heaven Sect.

Salas of the Spirit Hall, Xue Beng of the Heaven Dou Empire, Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect, and Yu Tianheng of the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon had all arrived early to settle and rest.

Shui Furong of the Heaven Water Academy brought the Shui Bing'er female troupe, Huoyao of the Blazing Fire Academy brought the entire Blazing Fire squad, the vice dean of the Divine Wind Academy brought Feng Xiaotian, Ye Lingling of the Undying Sect followed closely, and so on. At this moment, before the gate of Breaking Heaven Sect, red carpets stretched across several streets; along the roads, lanterns and colorful decorations filled the scene with festivity.

Nearby merchants also came upon hearing the news, extending the prosperous scene another five hundred meters beyond the end of the red carpet.

That day, the early sun rose high.

The first team of five before the Breaking Heaven Sect gate was led into the red carpet by the White Tiger Douluo of the Star Luo Empire; the congratulatory procession stretched for miles, and all that could be seen were rare, high‑grade goods of the Star Luo Empire.

Rare treasures not often seen in everyday life.

Within several kilometers of Breaking Heaven Sect, everything that day fell under the supervision of Sharp Feather Hall; any soul master who wanted to cause trouble here.

would be struck down by a single blow of the Soul‑breaking Spear.

"Star Luo Empire, White Tiger Emperor; congratulatory gifts include some gold ingots and three soul bones; we welcome the honored guests to come and celebrate."

Heaven Dou Empire's Xue Beng, dressed head to toe in pearls and jewels; his face showed none of his usual aristocratic arrogance, only a faint smile.

"Heaven Dou Empire, Prince Xue Beng; congratulatory gifts include some gold ingots, five pieces of top‑grade whale gelatin aged over fifty thousand years, and various precious herbs; we welcome the honored guests to come and celebrate."

Immediately after came Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect, with the Sword Douluo standing at his side; stretching ten‑plus miles behind, if you ignored the contents and just looked at the loaded boxes, they were all items of the sect.

The materials were top‑grade and the craftsmanship superb.

"Seven Treasure Glazed Sect, Sect Master Ning; congratulatory gifts include one box of hundred‑year lingzhi, one box of hundred‑year ginseng, a total of one hundred five boxes of hundred‑year medicinal herbs; thirteen boxes of thousand‑year medicinal herbs; one piece of thousand‑year soul bone, three hundred eight boxes of gold ingots; night pearls, blood jade coral, mutton‑fat white jade and other precious jade articles and jewels, eighty‑eight boxes."

By the end, the person reading the gifts felt his throat dry and involuntarily shouted, "Welcome the honored guests to come and celebrate!"

The White Tiger Emperor and Xue Beng who had just entered almost stumbled and fell to the ground.

He silently cursed, "What a big spender!"

He still had to keep a smile and greet the people of Breaking Heaven Sect.

Yang Wudi and Yang Wusha were greeting guests, while Sharp Feather Hall soared in the sky to check movements below, lest anyone sabotage the ceremony.

Salas, one of the three White Platinum Bishops of the Spirit Hall, also came with his entourage to offer congratulations. "Spirit Hall, White Platinum Bishop Salas; bringing some gold ingots to offer congratulations, welcome the guests to come and celebrate."

Upon hearing "honored guest" change to "guest," Salas immediately felt insulted and glared unfavorably at the speaker.

Yang Wusheng calmly looked at Salas and said, "Bishop, what's the matter? If there's nothing, please don't block the guests behind you; go inside and wait quietly."

In the depths of his calm eyes, a flash of sharp light made Salas feel very wary.

This person actually possesses soul power on par with his, a Douluo‑level expert; even the seemingly ordinary old man Po is a Douluo; Breaking Heaven Sect's strength must be reevaluated.

Salas snorted coldly, flicked his sleeve and was about to turn away; yet he thought again that Breaking Heaven Sect might later reveal even deeper foundations.

His own humiliation was of no consequence, but the Spirit Hall's plan could not afford to fail.

Such a rare opportunity to infiltrate Breaking Heaven Sect and investigate its details—he would swallow this anger.

Salas patted his sleeve and said lightly, "The hygiene of Breaking Heaven Sect is deplorable; on such a joyous occasion there is so much dust."

Yang Wusheng smiled and looked at Salas, saying, "It's not that there are too many guests; it's inevitable that some guests have dirty feet and soil the place; Bishop Salas, pay attention, don't be blinded."

"You"—Salas gave a cold snort and led his subordinates inside.

"I endure! I endure! I endure endure endure!!!"

"For the Pope's great undertaking of the ages; any humiliation endured is worthwhile."

Ignoring the mocking glances of those around, Salas sat with a dark face in the Spirit Hall's seat, the same position as the Heaven Dou Empire, Star Luo Empire, and Seven Treasure Glazed Sect.

That, however, was without fault to criticize.

Salas secretly felt some regret; weren't these people all impulsive, reckless oafs? How could there be no mistake at all in these details?

Afterward came the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon, with Shui Furong of the Heaven Water Academy bringing the Shui Bing'er female troupe into the venue.

Then came the Undying Sect, Blazing Fire Academy and other academy forces. Following Yang Yun's orders, the founding of Breaking Heaven Sect involved no excessive cumbersome procedures; once the forces had basically entered the field, Yang Yun emerged from behind the scenes to face everyone.

Behind him followed Yang Wuhu and Yang Wulong; after joining with Yang Wudi and Yang Wusha, the five of them arrived together before the gate of Breaking Heaven Sect.

Yang Yun stepped forward one step at a time toward the offering table before the shrine, and one after another soul rings lit up on his body.

Purple, purple, black, red, red, red, red, red, red.

Two purple, one black, six red—nine soul rings left everyone stunned, their breath catching as they sucked in several mouthfuls of cold air, unable to believe what they saw before them.

Even as everyone was still reeling from the shock, Yang Wulong, Yang Wuhu, Yang Wusha, and Yang Wudi each revealed their soul rings.

Yang Wudi had the standard Titled Douluo configuration of two yellow, two purple, five black soul rings for a Titled Douluo of the great road; but when the crowd shifted their gaze to the three Yang Wulong brothers, their eyes suddenly changed.

Two yellow, two purple, four black, one red—the final red soul ring was eerily bright and striking.

Salas, watching from below, had his legs trembling nonstop, cold sweat pouring forth; he had originally intended to stay and discuss briefly the virtual and actual strength of Breaking Heaven Sect.

He hadn't expected this to possibly turn into a beheading‑meal situation—five Titled Douluo; Yang Yun glanced over and initially thought the soul rings were fake, but we won't say that yet.

How could Yang Wulong, Yang Wuhu, and Yang Wusha each have a red ninth‑ring? Are ten‑thousand‑year spirit beasts that common?

Are they wholesaling them or something? (End of chapter)
