Chapter 198 Chapter 223~225 The New Number One in the World
As Dugu Bo finished speaking, everyone suddenly recalled the Soul Master Competition of that year. Many people present had witnessed it with their own eyes. Looking back, the miserable conditions of Dugu Xin and others are still vivid in their minds.
He was almost dead, luckily he was rescued in time.
At the same time, many people recalled the Haotian Sect’s domineering behavior in the past.
Looking at the people of Haotian Sect again, they all seemed to be gloating over their misfortune.
After all, one is the big brother in most of their minds, who can help their family to make further progress and even give birth to a soul master guild with Titled Douluo.
The Haotian Sect, which was once domineering and tyrannical but has now fallen into decline.
I think everyone knows how to choose.
Even Ning Fengzhi shook his head, thinking to himself that if Lin Hanye didn't have a life-and-death feud with him, he would probably stand on the side of the Soul Master Guild.
Unfortunately, there are no ifs in this world.
"You guys..." Tang Bai looked at Dugu Bo, then looked at the soul masters watching the battle around him, and saw that they were all gloating, especially those from the lower four sects, who had undisguised sneers on their faces.
My lungs were about to explode with anger.
The rest of the Haotian Sect disciples also had bloodshot eyes and were gasping for breath.
Since when did their Haotian Sect begin to be looked down upon?
"Why, you're not convinced? If you're not convinced, you can challenge me, either alone or in a group. Otherwise, some people will blame me for bullying the younger generation."
Dugu Bo's words are so infuriating that they can kill people.
In fact, his own age is about the same as those elders of Haotian Sect. Even if he is older, he is not much older. Some are even younger.
But this world has never been ranked by seniority, but by strength.
Dugu Bo is not only a powerful Titled Douluo, but also has the strength to wipe out the Haotian Sect. This is his confidence.
In the end, everyone in the Haotian Sect was scared. They had lost Tang Chen, and now even the Sect Master was unconscious. They no longer had the capital to act so arrogantly.
And the moment they admitted their defeat, Dugu Bo's sneer came from behind them, "Hahaha, the Haotian Sect is no more than this."
As he said this, Dugu Bo walked down the competition stage with the attitude of a winner, amidst the resentment of everyone in the Haotian Sect and the cheers and admiring gazes of the spectators.
"Second Elder, we..." Tang Xiao looked at Dugu Bo's "successful" look, and almost gnashed his teeth. He looked at Tang Bai unwillingly. The rest of the people were similar.
"Let's go. It's urgent to save the clan leader."
Finally, he looked at Dugu Bo with resentment. Tang Bai was quite helpless and aggrieved. He led everyone from the Haotian Sect to protect the unconscious Tang Wei and walked down the competition stage.
Like a drowned dog that has just been beaten.
At this time, Juhuaguan's somewhat sharp voice sounded again, "The next match is the Soul Master Guild versus the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect."
This is what the sect competition is like. In essence, it is a means for the Spirit Hall to weaken the major sects. It does not give people time to recover or rest. After each battle, the victorious party will fight the next party.
Some people may think that in this case, the one who fights later has the advantage over the one who fights first, but this is not the case.
Because this sect competition is based on a points system.
If the two of you have the same points, then even if you have defeated him before, you two will have to fight again. This is also the reason why the older generation of soul masters die one after another in every sect competition.
There is no other way. If you don’t fight hard, there will be others who will fight for you.
After all, the ranking in the sect competition is related to how much benefit one can gain in the soul master world in the future.
This is a conspiracy.
Of course, nothing is absolute.
In the past, in order to counter the behemoth that is the Spirit Hall, the three major sects had been united for a period of time.
At that time, the battle was basically over.
Until the dark horse Tang Chen appeared, it was as the saying goes, I was afraid that my brothers would suffer, and I was also afraid that my brothers would drive a Land Rover.
After the balance is broken.
The three previous sects are basically in name only.
In addition, after the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's assassination of Yu Xinglong, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect had a dirty relationship. There was no such thing as a common blood relationship.
Now that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect has been destroyed by Lin Hanye, and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and the Haotian Sect both have grudges against the Soul Master Guild, it is impossible for these three new sects to have the same blood from the very beginning.
"Uncle Jian, in my opinion, Lin Hanye thinks of his status and strength, so he won't take action. The next battle is left to you. But safety comes first. The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect cannot afford to lose you again."
Ning Fengzhi glanced at Lin Hanye and spoke to Jian Douluo in a somewhat sad voice.
Jian Dou nodded, "I know. It's just a pity that I probably won't be able to fight Tang Wei again in this lifetime."
As he said this, he stepped onto the fighting stage.
"Gin, I leave this battle to you."
Lin Hanye was still very confident in A Yin's strength. After all, a hundred thousand year soul bone was no joke.
Moreover, she has refined the Black Jade Divine Bamboo. Even if Jian Douluo's soul power is one or two levels higher than Ah Yin's, he cannot defeat her.
"give it to me."
Ah Yin flashed and appeared on the fighting stage, standing a hundred meters away from Jian Douluo.
And just as she appeared on the fighting stage, the pitted ground that was previously corroded by Dugu Bo's poison began to sprout groups of blue silver grass, which soon spread to Jian Douluo's feet.
"Please give me some advice." Ah Yin bowed to Jian Douluo.
"Please." Jian Douluo returned the salute, and neither side exchanged any nonsense.
A giant dark blue vine, two or three feet thick and a hundred meters long, quickly grew out from under Ah Yin's feet, lifting her up into the air.
What’s strange is that the surface of the vines also emits a faint golden glow.
"She has cultivated the Blue Silver Grass to this extent. She is indeed worthy of being the Ice Emperor's wife."
Jian Douluo thought that Ah Yin's Blue Silver Emperor was cultivated from ordinary Blue Silver Grass, just like Lin Hanye cultivated ice from ice water. He did not dare to be careless and immediately flew into the sky on his sword.
The sixth soul ring on his body lit up, and he swung his sword finger. In an instant, thousands of sword shadows covered Ah Yin like a rainstorm.
Ah Yin put her index fingers together and crossed her hands. A blue light came out from between her fingers. Her soul ring did not light up, but several giant blue-silver vines swirled out. The sword shadow of Jian Douluo fell on the dark blue vines, which was no different from scraping.
In a moment, those giant blue-silver vines were close to Chen Xin.
“What a strong vine.”
Jian Douluo did not stupidly resist these vines. Ever since he witnessed the battle between Lin Hanye and Tang Chen, a new world had opened up in his mind. He dodged the attack of the vines in a flash, sent a flying sword towards Ah Yin, and then approached her.
Tried to engage in close combat with Yin.
A Yin naturally knew this, after all, the turn-based system was already outdated.
He immediately controlled the vines under his feet to move, avoiding Jian Douluo's flying sword. At the same time, he waved his hand, and more giant vines swept towards Jian Douluo.
After seeing how powerful these vines were, Jian Douluo did not dare to approach them rashly. He flew in the air on his sword to avoid the vines, and occasionally launched a counterattack against A Yin.
Finally, when he realized that there were too many vines and he could not avoid them, he simply activated his martial soul. The seventh soul ring on his body lit up, and a shadow that was a hundred meters tall and looked like Chen Xin appeared. It was holding the giant Seven Kill Sword and slashed at the giant vines circling around it.
After a burst of energy, the vines shattered. At this time, A Yin had also activated his martial arts true body. The huge A Yin phantom, which was also a hundred meters tall, held the Blue Silver Overlord Spear in his hand and attacked Jian Douluo fiercely.
Sword Douluo Dun felt a great threat, and controlled the Seven Kills True Body in succession, slashing out five "kill" characters.
After the Blue Silver Overlord Spear pierced through three "Kill" characters in a row, it collided with the fourth and fifth "Kill" characters, and was barely offset.
"What a powerful single-target attack skill. Is this really a skill from a ten-thousand-year soul skill?"
The power of Ah Yin's Blue Silver Overlord Spear was so extraordinary that Jian Douluo couldn't help but doubt his life, but he didn't have time to think about it, because Ah Yin was already holding the Blue Silver Overlord Spear and was close to him.
Jian Douluo blocked subconsciously, and the friction between the Blue Silver Overlord Spear and the Seven Killing Sword produced violent sparks.
After a close collision.
The two distanced themselves again.
"Haha, what a Blue Silver Douluo, great! Take another move from me - Eighth Soul Skill: Seven Killing Thunders Rise, Break the Sky with One Sword!"
Jian Douluo felt his blood boiling. With one move, the huge 100-meter-long sword, carrying dozens of small swords, slashed straight at Ah Yin.
"Left Leg Soul Bone Skill: Demonic Killer Whale Axe!"
Ah Yin exerted force with his left leg, and with one kick, a red crescent-shaped slash as thin as a cicada's wing collided with the hundred-meter-long giant sword and many small swords, actually knocking all the small swords away, and then canceled out the hundred-meter-long giant sword.
"Another powerful attack. Could it be a hundred thousand year old soul bone?"
Jian Douluo's expression became more and more solemn. In fact, Ah Yin's attack was a little too strong. Even though he had two soul powers higher than the opponent, the opponent actually used the soul bone skill and easily blocked his eighth soul skill.
"Left arm soul bone skill: Azure Slow Divine Claw!"
An even more surprising scene appeared. Ah Yin made a claw with his left hand and stretched out a claw. A huge transparent sky blue bull python locked onto Jian Douluo.
Jian Douluo waved his Seven Kills True Body to block, but was surprised to find that physical defense was ineffective.
The next moment, the whole person was enveloped by the huge shadow of a bull's head.
Ah Yin gathered lightning in his left hand and shot a giant and powerful lightning ball at him.
This was the second skill of the left arm soul bone, Azure Destruction Thunder. The power of the thunder ball was obviously not comparable to the previous attack.
Jian Douluo, sensing the power of this move, wanted to use his ninth soul skill, God and Demon Slash, but found that after being enveloped by the shadow of the bull head, his six senses and physical movement ability were suddenly slowed down. He had no time to use it.
He couldn't even raise his sword to block.
He could only watch the thunder ball continue to grow bigger in his eyes.
"Uncle Jian!"
When Ning Fengzhi saw this scene, all the memories of his past with Jian Douluo flashed through his mind, and he tried to run towards the arena. However, because he had a prosthesis for his broken leg, he fell to the ground with a plop after just a few steps, looking at Jian Douluo in despair.
"I can't stop it."
Jian Douluo took one last look at Ning Fengzhi, a look of relief on his face.
At this moment, time seemed to freeze between the two of them.
Thoughts kept flashing through Jian Douluo's mind, and he felt that death was approaching like never before.
Seeing this scene, Lin Hanye sighed and shook his head. If he killed Jian Douluo here, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect would be completely hollowed out by the Soul Master Guild in the future.
After all, Ning Fengzhi, who has no offensive power at all, is too easy to control.
With Yu Luomian as a chess piece, he could easily let the other party help him kill Ning Fengzhi, support a new leader, and then "use the emperor to command the princes."
But this would be a bit of a loss.
After all, Jian Douluo has a good reputation in the world of soul masters, and killing people at will in the sect competition will have a great impact.
This was not conducive to his gathering of faith.
"Whatever. Chen Xin can't possibly pose a threat to me anyway. And it's not appropriate to kill people in a sect competition. Before he becomes my real enemy, let him live."
In the end, Lin Hanye decided not to kill Jian Douluo for the time being.
After all, he still admired Jian Douluo very much.
Just when the thunder ball was about to fall on Jian Douluo, he appeared in front of Jian Douluo in a flash. With a wave of his hand, the thunder ball that was powerful enough to kill a powerful Titled Douluo disappeared in an instant.
This scene caught many people off guard, and they were all confused by Lin Hanye's behavior.
Logically speaking, it would be more beneficial to the Soul Master Guild if Jian Douluo died or became disabled like Tang Wei.
"A Yin, it's just a sparring match, there's no need to be so harsh."
Lin Hanye ignored everyone and just smiled and said to A Yin.
"Yeah." Ah Yin also knew that Lin Hanye had always admired Jian Douluo, so she nodded slightly to show her understanding.
"Jian Douluo, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you." Lin Hanye turned and looked at Jian Douluo.
Jian Douluo finally reacted, "It doesn't matter, I lost."
The narrow escape from death just now gave him some understanding of the ninety-sixth level. Perhaps after returning, he would be able to break through in a few years.
Thinking of this, he looked at Lin Hanye again with a hint of gratitude in his eyes, and thought to himself, it seems that Feng Zhi misunderstood President Lin.
Jian Douluo's admission of defeat marked the end of this sect competition, because the Haotian Sect could no longer send anyone to challenge the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, which had a Titled Douluo.
Not only did he fail to maintain his position as the number one sect in the world, he even lost his position as number two and was reduced to third place.
"Is this the power of a hundred thousand year soul bone?"
Qianxunji watched the fight between Ayin and Jian Douluo.
The look he gave Ah Yin, or to be more precise, the look he gave Ah Yin's left arm, flashed across his eyes with an imperceptible greed.
It has to be said that compared to Tang Wei's half-baked explosive ring that he could easily dodge, A Yin and Jian Douluo were obviously much stronger.
Especially A Yin, the power of that hundred thousand year soul bone was so envious that he almost drooled.
He also has soul bones, and they are angel set soul bones, but before the set is completed, their age is only 99999 years. After all, they are not true -year soul bones.
If Ah Yin had not come from the Soul Master Guild, if Ah Yin herself had not been a powerful Titled Douluo, if Ah Yin had not been Lin Hanye's wife, I'm afraid he would have already developed the idea of killing people and stealing treasures.
"No, I have to find a way to get myself a 100,000-year soul bone in the future."
Obviously, the strength of the Soul Master Guild made Qian Xunji feel a sense of urgency and jealousy. Lin Hanye was fine, even Old Poison was not much inferior to him, and Blue Silver Douluo was obviously better than him.
As the Pope of Spirit Hall, he must not fall behind others.
At this time, Juhuaguan's somewhat sharp voice resounded throughout the venue again. He said symbolically: "In the next round, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect will play against the Haotian Sect. Does the Haotian Sect have anyone to accept the challenge?"
Hearing this, everyone in the Haotian Sect looked at each other. The Sect Master was now unconscious, and if they were to go up against Sword Douluo, it would only bring humiliation to themselves if they, the Soul Douluos, took the field. They couldn't just rush in all at once.
Finally, with no other options, Haotian Sect's Second Elder Tang Bai chose to admit defeat. "Haotian Sect admits defeat."
The surrender of the Haotian Sect did not cause much waves. After all, in the eyes of everyone, without the combat power of the Titled Douluo, the strength of the Haotian Sect was about the same as the lower four sects. Even if it was strong, it was not that strong. At most, it had an advantage in the number of Soul Douluo and Soul Masters.
Jian Douluo felt a little regretful when he saw Haotian Sect admit defeat. He felt that he could not fight with Tang Wei today and that he had won unfairly. He immediately bowed to Lin Hanye and returned to Ning Fengzhi.
Lin Hanye and A Yin also returned to the rest area where the VIP seats were located.
At this time, Ning Fengzhi, who was sitting below the VIP seats, had already stood up, but his eyes were red.
Seeing this, Jian Douluo's heart suddenly warmed up. He stepped forward to help him up and comforted him, "Sect Master, I'm sorry to have worried you."
"It doesn't matter, as long as Uncle Jian is okay." Ning Fengzhi breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't understand why Lin Hanye took action at the last moment, as long as Jian Douluo was alive, it was fine.
Otherwise, he didn't even dare to imagine what the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect would become in the future.
"Sect Master, I still think you shouldn't doubt President Lin. I investigated the scene where the old sect master and Old Bone died. There were traces left by powerful soul beasts. Maybe they really died in an accident like Yu Xinglong and Lin Xiaotian."
Jian Douluo hesitated for a moment, but still spoke.
After hearing this, what else could Ning Fengzhi say? His father and Uncle Gu really did die at the hands of Lin Hanye, and his father and Uncle Gu really did kill Lin Hanye's father. The two sides had been fighting to the death for a long time.
Even if he is willing to let go of this grudge, he is afraid that the other party is not willing to let go, so he must take precautions before it happens.
However, Jian Douluo's words reminded him that the other party obviously had no hostility towards Lin Hanye because Lin Hanye had just saved him. Well, let him continue to guard the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect in the future.
As for secretly contacting the Haotian Sect and the Xingluo Royal Family to fight against the Spirit Hall and the Soul Master Guild, it would be better to leave it to Yu Luomian.
At this time, the voice of Pope Qianxunji came, "Congratulations to the Soul Master Guild for winning the final victory in the sect competition."
Slowly standing up, Qianxunji announced calmly: "The sect competition is over. The final rankings are, in order, the Soul Master Guild, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, the Haotian Sect, the Wind Sword Sect, the Black Tiger Sect, the Fire Leopard Sect, and the Rock Antelope Sect."
"The Soul Master Guild, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, and the Haotian Sect have been awarded the title of the top three sects. Congratulations to the Soul Master Guild for winning the title of the world's number one sect."
"In addition, according to the discussion between me, Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo and other Titled Douluo elders, President Lin's Ice Martial Soul is designated as the world's number one elemental martial soul, Blue Silver Douluo's Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul is designated as the world's number one plant martial soul, Clear Sky Hammer and Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex are no longer the world's number one, the world's number one weapon martial soul belongs to Sword Douluo's Seven Killing Sword, and the world's number one beast martial soul belongs to Poison Douluo's Green Phosphorus Snake King."
When this statement came out, everyone was lost.
Lin Hanye's strength is unrivaled in Douluo Continent, and his ice is well-deserved as the world's number one elemental martial spirit.
Everyone has just seen how powerful the Blue Silver Emperor is, and it can indeed be called the number one plant spirit in the world.
At least, apart from the Spirit Hall's Ju Douluo who was not included in the ranking, no one with a plant spirit has cultivated to the Titled Douluo realm.
As for the world's number one beast spirit, there is no big doubt about it. After all, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus has been destroyed, and even if Yu Yuanzhen is still alive, he is unlikely to be a match for Poison Douluo who defeated Tang Wei, the leader of the Haotian Sect.
But the world's number one martial spirit weapon is the Seven Killing Sword, but many people don't understand.
After all, the Clear Sky Hammer, once the world's number one martial spirit weapon, is still deeply rooted in people's hearts.
Moreover, Tang Chen had only left the Haotian Sect, not necessarily died, so it was somewhat arbitrary to deprive the Haotian Hammer of the title of the world's number one weapon spirit.
"This is the result we got from this sect competition. If anyone is dissatisfied, you can challenge them."
Qianxunji wanted this effect. What he feared most was the alliance of the three sects. Now that they had deprived the Clear Sky Hammer of the world's number one weapon spirit and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex of the world's number one beast spirit, the Clear Sky Sect would definitely hate the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. Yu Luomian would also hate the Soul Master Guild even more when he was in the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
In addition, the Haotian Sect and the Soul Master Guild have always been at odds, and it is impossible for them to unite and fight against their Wuhun Hall in this lifetime.
Didn’t you see the way everyone from the Haotian Sect looked at Jian Douluo, glaring at him?
They all felt that the other party was taking advantage of their misfortune and snatching away the honor that should have belonged to their Haotian Sect.
On the contrary, he was somewhat surprised by Yu Luomian, who had little reaction to being deprived of the world's number one beast spirit.
But Qianxunji didn't think much about it.
After all, Yu Luomian only has eight soul rings.
He doesn't even take it seriously.
Qian Xunji continued, "Congratulations to President Lin for becoming the world's number one Titled Douluo, congratulations to Blue Silver Douluo for becoming the world's number one Control-type Titled Douluo. Congratulations to Poison Douluo for becoming the world's number one Weird-type Titled Douluo. Congratulations to Sword Douluo for becoming the world's number one Offense-type Titled Douluo, congratulations to Sect Master Tang for becoming the world's number one Strength-type Titled Douluo, congratulations to Hu Yanzhen for becoming the world's number one Defense-type Spirit Master, and congratulations to Sect Master Ning for becoming the world's number one Support-type Spirit Master."
Qianxunji said this and waved his hand. A cardinal came over with a brocade tray, on which three tokens lay quietly.
There are eight patterns on each token, namely a chrysanthemum, an incomplete human figure, a crown, an ice dragon head (see the cover for details), a sword, a hammer, a blue silver grass, and a snake.
Long before Tang Wei was defeated, Qianxunji had already ordered people to engrave the remaining three martial spirits: ice, seven-kill sword, and hammer.
Later, seeing Dugu Bo and A Yin display such powerful strength, he added two more.
After all, they each defeated the Clear Sky Sect and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. It would be unreasonable if the Pope's order included the Clear Sky Hammer and the Seven Killing Sword but not them.
