Chapter 26: Clear Sky, Flying Snow, Title Douluo

Seven days later.

It was a bright and sunny day; the sun was high, and the temperature was mild.

In the city market, there was a constant stream of carriages and horses, people coming and going, all in a state of peace.

Since Nan Tianchen ascended the throne, although he had not made any achievements in terms of increasing national strength or expanding territory, he implemented benevolent governance, and the lives of the common people were quite passable.

No one noticed that under the originally clear weather and warm climate, the grass and trees by the roadside,

and the potted plants used for decoration in the hotel, were all gradually covered with a layer of frost.

Inside the main hall of the Spirit Hall belonging to Gu Lei Royal City, the Hall Master Saite, who was also a Spirit Saint-level expert, suddenly felt something: "Hmm? The temperature hasn't dropped, so why does my soul power feel a sense of cold?"

He walked out of the main hall of the Spirit Hall and looked toward the direction of the royal palace.

Doing the same was the Brute Force Sect Master Jia Chong: "This phenomenon must be caused by the soul power of an Ice Soul Master. Such strength is definitely not something an ordinary ice-type Spirit Master could achieve, and the strongest ice-type Spirit Master in this royal city is none other than the Queen. Could it be...!"

Clearly, he had guessed something.

The next moment, a blue icy light shot into the sky, and "sun snow" began to fall within the city.

This strange phenomenon caused all the citizens in the city to look over; the sun was so bright and the temperature so high, they did not understand why it had suddenly started to snow.

Inside the Eastern Palace, Nan Feihuang, with Lv Lingqi and the others, exclaimed, "So powerful. As expected of the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, its medicinal power is so fierce. The strange phenomenon of Mother's breakthrough is so astonishing; I'm afraid she is not just at Level Ninety!"

Swish, swish, swish!

Several figures arrived in the royal city at extreme speed.

The Food-type Soul Saint Elder Zhang, the main hall master of the Spirit Hall Saite, the Brute Force Sect Master Jia Chong, and others arrived one after another.

At the entrance, Nan Tianchen had been sitting there for seven days. He stood up and smiled slightly, "Everyone, trespassing into my harem is not a very polite behavior, but today I am in a very good mood and do not wish to argue much. Since you have all come, then serve as witnesses. Today is the day my wife, Queen Lan Xue, achieves the rank of Title Douluo!"

"Title... Douluo?" Saite widened his eyes.

In this day and age, there was actually another Title Douluo, and a female Title Douluo at that.

Nan Feihuang, who arrived late, saw these big shots caught in shock and smiled indifferently; this was also normal.

This time period was not the later era; there were only a dozen or so Title Douluo on the surface of the world.

Three in the Spirit Hall, the Pope and the Chrysanthemum and Ghost; five in the Upper Three Sects, the Clear Sky, Xiaotian, Sword, Bone, and Thunder; one wild Poison Douluo, and the remaining two or three in the Star Luo royal family.

Great empires like the Heaven Dou Empire did not even have a single Title Douluo.

As for the Nine Great Elders and Seven Great Consecrators of the Spirit Hall, and the extra Title Douluo that appeared when the Clear Sky Sect closed its gates, not everyone knew about them.

Therefore, a kingdom suddenly having a Title Douluo was definitely not a small matter.

"Creak!"

The door behind Nan Tianchen was suddenly opened, and a stunningly beautiful woman dressed in blue palace attire walked out from within. Her aura was elusive, making one unable to fathom it.

Although she had not yet obtained her Ninth Spirit Ring, reaching Level Ninety meant she was considered a Quasi-Title Douluo; her realm was not something ordinary Spirit Douluo or Spirit Saints could compare to.

"Congratulations to the Queen for advancing to Title Douluo. I suppose before long, we shall have to address you as Your Excellency," Elder Zhang said, cupping his hands.

He was a loyal subject of the Gu Lei Kingdom and felt happy from the bottom of his heart. Back then, Nan Tianchen saving Lan Xue was truly the most correct decision he had ever made in his life.

Hearing Elder Zhang's words, Saite and Jia Chong also came back to their senses and cupped their hands, "Congratulations to the Queen for advancing to Title Douluo!"

Jia Chong's congratulations were also sincere; after all, although he had not directly joined the Gu Lei Kingdom's court, he was a native of the Gu Lei Kingdom, and his sect was established within the royal city.

Compared to the relationship between the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Heaven Dou Empire, the Brute Force Sect and the Gu Lei Kingdom appeared much closer.

They prospered together and suffered together.

As for Saite, he had much more on his mind; the Spirit Hall had always kept him monitoring the movements of the Gu Lei Kingdom.

Although they did not take the strength of the Gu Lei Kingdom to heart, their agriculture was indeed a very important link.

With an extra Title Douluo suddenly appearing, many of their plans targeting this country might need to be recalculated.

Saite soon took his leave; he had to rush to report this intelligence to the Pope Palace in Wuhun City.

Once those who should leave had left, the celebration could begin. Nan Tianchen very enthusiastically invited Jia Chong and Elder Zhang to witness it together, and summoned all the civil and military officials in the city to announce this joyous event.

He did not think about hiding anything, although there was a saying: the tree that stands above the forest will be destroyed by the wind.

But a Title Douluo, placed on this continent, could not yet be called "the tree that stands above the forest"; it had not reached the point of making the strongest forces wary, but it was capital that made many forces pay attention.

The Gu Lei Kingdom's military strength had always been the weakest among the four kingdoms.

Every year when he went to pay respects to Great Emperor Xue Beng with the kings of the other three countries, he was always the most humble one; there was no help for it, his fists were not as hard as theirs.

But next year, he indicated that he could stand tall. Nan Tianchen was even fantasizing about the scene a year later, wondering what he should say when he saw the other three kings: "You, the Silves Kingdom, are a great economic power, so what? My wife is a Title Douluo, what can you do about it?"

"You, the Balak Kingdom, have strong military power, with hundreds of thousands of majestic troops, so what? My wife is a Title Douluo! What can you do about it?"

"You, the Hagen Dazs Kingdom... forget it, they are in-laws, I won't provoke them."

Looking at the distracted Nan Tianchen, Nan Feihuang knew that his father was getting a bit carried away.

However, let him be carried away; at least in this period, a force with a Title Douluo really had some capital to be carried away. As long as they didn't offend the strongest Hall, two Empires, and the Upper Three Sects on the continent, they could basically walk sideways.

The Balak Kingdom was indeed powerful in war, and the Gu Lei Kingdom was certainly far from being a match, but now, both sides had a decisive tactical influence, which was one of the most terrifying tactics in war: the decapitation strike.

If the two countries went to war, Lan Xue alone could slaughter the enemy's high-level leadership, causing the enemy army to be leaderless.

An army without leaders was like soldiers who had lost their weapons, simply vulnerable to a single blow.

In the original story's final battle, if Tang San hadn't blocked Bibi Dong, and the Shrek Seven Devils, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and the Clear Sky Sect hadn't worked together to block the Spirit Hall's Elders and Consecrators,

the war between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Spirit Empire would actually have been over in less than three days.

Bibi Dong couldn't kill the million-strong army of the Heaven Dou Empire in a short time, but couldn't she kill a mere Xue Beng?

Once Xue Beng died, Heaven Dou would surely fall into chaos.

This was the greatest deterrent a force with a Title Douluo had against a force without one!
