Chapter 123: Country Bumpkins Enter the City

The Spirit Hall contains numerous ancient texts, and most do not have the year of their publication marked, so he also does not know how long ago that ancient text was written.

The Hagendasi Wangguo values martial arts, or rather, the people of the north are all tall and sturdy, and they love to fight.

Wu Qi does not know when the secret realm will open; the purpose of this trip is merely to head north for training.

One must know that Douluo Dalu is internally divided into four types of societies, the first of which is what people call the "Mainland," which is the society everyone currently lives in.

The second is the Sea Spirit Masters, represented by Hanhai Cheng, which has an independent social model.

The third is the large islands overseas; tribes exist on these islands, and their ways of life are significantly different.

Finally, there are the cold lands located in the north of the Heaven Dou Empire, where the customs are completely different from the mainland, and the ways of life are also vastly different.

These different societies are similar to ancient China.

That is, the territory currently lived in is the Central Plains, the north is barbarian tribes, the seaside is fishermen, and on the sea are uncivilized savages.

The four different societies have obvious barriers between them, and one could even say they do not communicate with each other.

There are no provinces in the north of the Heaven Dou Empire; it is almost entirely kingdoms and duchies, which gives a glimpse of the situation.

"Going to the north, huh."

As a teacher, Sun Buyu has more life experience than Wu Qi and the others.

Located within the Heaven Dou Empire, even if they are in different societies, they are not in much danger.

Furthermore, there is very little interaction between the north and the "Central Plains," so even if their trump cards are exposed, not many people will know about them by the time they reach the Spirit Master Tournament.

"That's fine too; changing the environment for training and coming into contact with more outside Spirit Masters is a good thing."

Changing the subject, Sun Buyu frowned, "However, we have only just joined the Seven Treasure Academy; going out at this moment will inevitably invite criticism. Wu Qi's suggestion will be reserved for now; when the time is ripe, I will take you all out."

For safety's sake, they need experts to protect them on this trip.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect cannot possibly send a Title Douluo to accompany them, so Wu Qi can only ask Dugu Bo to step in.

However, the distance for this trip is very far, and the time spent will not be short.

It is necessary to discuss it with Dugu Bo in advance and let him arrange his affairs ahead of time.

Time flew by, and a month had passed.

The death of Qin Ming was still being talked about with relish by the people. But compared to a month ago, the popularity had clearly declined a lot.

Early this morning, a plain-looking carriage stopped at the city gate.

Xiao Wu did a flip and jumped off the carriage.

She stretched her body and couldn't help but complain, "Sitting in the carriage for so long, it's really exhausting."

Originally, they had set a date with Qin Ming to meet at Tiandou Huangjia Xueyuan in two months.

In the interim, seeing that he could not take down Wu Qi and the others in a short time, Qin Ming pushed the time back by half a month.

The Shrek Six Devils finished their training in Xilves City and rested there for some time; seeing that the agreed time was drawing closer, they finally set off.

Tang San stepped off the carriage and smiled lightly, "Xiao Wu, when we arrive at the new academy, you must restrain your temper."

As he spoke, the others stepped off the carriage one after another.

People in the world say that Tiandou City is prosperous; thinking about living and cultivating in Tiandou City in the future, everyone's hearts were full of anticipation and longing.

Walking to the foot of the city gate, Oscar was somewhat surprised, "There is no city name plaque here; could we have come to the wrong place?"

Ma Hongjun had the same thought.

Under normal circumstances, a plaque would be hung at the top of the city gate, but here there was none.

Dai Mubai had seen the world and smiled, pointing above everyone's heads, "Tiandou City is the same as Xingluo City; the city walls are very high. For the sake of aesthetics, the plaque has been moved up a certain distance."

Hearing this, everyone tilted their heads back ninety degrees, only then noticing the lapis lazuli plaque engraved with the three large characters "Tiandou City."

"Damn, the city wall is really high; this height is probably a hundred meters."

Those who hadn't seen the world couldn't help but exclaim repeatedly.

Although Tang San had lived two lifetimes, he had never seen such a towering city wall, and he couldn't help but praise, "With such defensive works, I'm afraid that even a Title Douluo would find it difficult to break through."

Just at this moment, a gorgeously dressed noblewoman, holding a pet dog, passed by them surrounded by servants.

Seeing this, she gave a light snort, "Where did these country bumpkins come from? Tiandou City isn't a place where any stray cat or dog can just enter!"

This statement was not wrong.

As the imperial capital, there is an official every five steps and a noble every ten steps in Tiandou City; it has truly become a paradise for nobles.

Ordinary people, even Spirit Masters, find it very difficult to afford the high cost of living here.

A sense of inferiority rose in Tang San's heart; his face turned gloomy, and his fists were clenched tight.

"Tch, what's so great about it? We'll definitely live better in the future," Xiao Wu retorted.

The noblewoman couldn't be bothered to pay attention and entered the city under the respectful gazes of the guards.

Hearing Xiao Wu's words, Tang San's expression softened a little.

Indeed, they were all excellent young Spirit Masters; calling themselves geniuses was not an exaggeration.

Growing into experts in the future, they would certainly live more freely than these nobles, and these nobles might even have to rely on them.

Flender gave a wry smile and cleared his throat, "Little monsters, don't be swayed by emotions. With your talent, you have the opportunity to become Title Douluo in the future; why care about these superficial things?"

Dai Mubai chimed in, "The Dean is right."

He was a prince, after all!

In the past, he felt there was no hope, which was why he had given up on himself. Now that he had seen the talent of Tang San and the others, he had some thoughts about that position in his heart.

If these classmates worked with him, there would certainly be no shortage of titles in the future.

Mere Tiandou nobles—how could they compare to Xingluo titles?

Yu Xiaogang stood with his hands behind his back and said indifferently, "Forgot what I said? Do not be happy with external things, do not be sad for yourself. Without such a mindset, how can you become experts?"

The six members of Shrek Academy gradually calmed their minds; to avoid being looked down upon by the guards, each of them deliberately flaunted the Spirit Master manual in their hands, entering the city with their heads held high and chests puffed out, half-showing off and half-smug.

After walking two streets, Flender, who was leading, stopped in his tracks.

The group couldn't help but look at each other; it seemed they did not know where Tiandou Huangjia Xueyuan was located.

They had been too busy showing off just now and had forgotten about this!

Flender kicked Zhao Wuji, "Old Zhao, what's going on? Can't you find someone to ask?"

Zhao Wuji had grievances he couldn't voice.

He had just seen Flender leading the way forward and hadn't thought much of it; who knew it was all an act?

Helpless, he grabbed a random passerby.

Before long, he ran back with a bitter smile, "Tiandou Huangjia Xueyuan is not in the city, but outside the city."

The explanation was brief.

After leaving the city, the Shrek Seven Devils circled around for a long time before finally finding the right location.

Tiandou Huangjia Xueyuan was situated amidst surrounding mountains; those unfamiliar with it would never be able to find the path.

If not for Flender being able to fly into the air and overlook the ground, they would likely still be wandering around nearby before nightfall today.

"I don't get it, why would a perfectly good academy be established outside the city!" Xiao Wu muttered in complaint.

Flender laughed heartily, "That is where you don't understand."

As he spoke, he tilted his forehead slightly, a look of smugness on his face.

The choice of location for Tiandou Huangjia Xueyuan shared a similar ingenuity with Shrek Academy.
