Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting-Novel

Chapter 515 – God Rank Powerhouses

Bi Ji smiled at him and said, “Hello, General Yang.”

Yang Hui subconsciously swept his gaze over Lan Xuanyu. “What a promising young child! To be able to catch Old Wang’s eye, this child has a limitless future and boundless prospects. Young lad, after graduating from Shrek, are you planning to join the military? Let me tell you, our War God Temple is a shortcut to entering the military.”

“That’s enough!” Wang Tianyu scoffed and interrupted Yang Hui. He waved at Lan Xuanyu and he quickly returned to his team.

Yang Hui wasn’t angered by Wang Tianyu’s interruption, but his eyes lit up instead. He and Wang Tianyu were old friends, so he naturally knew his character very well. Just now, when he was chatting and laughing with that child, he actually saw a hint of nervousness on Wang Tianyu’s face. This meant that this child might really be very important to Shrek Academy! He had to be paid attention to.

After all, not all of Shrek Academy’s graduates would stay in the academy forever. Only a small portion of them would stay in the school and become teachers, while the rest would have to choose after graduation. Among them, there were many who joined the military. Hence, the relationship between the military and Shrek Academy had always been very good. They hoped to be able to receive more talents from Shrek Academy and not let these talents flow into the large clans, financial groups, or even the Spirit Pagoda.

Of course, to the War God Temple, their biggest competitors were not these few parties.

“Yang Hui, how did you provoke Old Wang again? If you do that, we will have to face a common enemy!” A clear voice resounded as another group of people arrived. They were all dressed in white uniforms and had an ancient red Tang symbol on their shoulders.

Walking at the front was a young man who looked to be in his twenties. His black hair naturally draped over his shoulders and he had a smile on his face.

Seeing the newcomer, Wang Tianyu didn’t stand at the same spot to wait this time. Instead, he took the initiative and went forward to hug the youth. “Tang Miao, if you didn’t arrive just now, someone is going to poach us.”

The young man smiled. “It’s fine, he won’t be able to poach us. A pavilion near the water enjoys the moonlight first. Furthermore, our Tang Sect and Shrek Academy are one and the same.”

Lan Xuanyu had just returned to his teammates and upon hearing the big shots’ words, he immediately looked at them curiously.

Tang Sect? Was this a member of the legendary Tang Sect ?

It could be said that he had heard of the Tang Sect for a long time, but this was his first time encountering it. The legend of the Tang Sect could be traced back to the early days of Shrek Academy. From the beginning of the Tang Sect, Shrek Academy had countless ties with the Tang Sect.

The founder of the Tang Sect was one of the first Shrek Seven Monsters of Shrek Academy and was also a key figure of that time. He was also known as the first god in human history—Sea God Tang San!

This mighty figure was reputed to be the most important factor in the relationship between humans and soul beasts. He was also the founder of the soul master world that was revered by all modern humans. The Tang Sect had a history of 30,000 years and had produced countless talents. The most outstanding and famous people in Shrek Academy were almost all from the Tang Sect.

For example, the founder of the Spirit Pagoda, Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao, was also a member of the Tang Sect when it was in decline. Hence, the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy had always maintained an extremely close relationship. Beside the Sea God Lake in Shrek City, other than Shrek Academy’s region, the Tang Sect’s region was the largest.

There was already no distinction between the two. Hence, the War God Temple’s biggest competitor was actually the Tang Sect. Among the Shrek Academy graduates, most of the outstanding talents had actually entered the Tang Sect.

Yang Hui said in annoyance, “Tang Miao, you still have the cheek to say that. Your Tang Sect is too unkind. Every time the Outer Court graduation ceremony hasn’t started yet, you guys would go in early to pick talents. Let me tell you, we’re already prepared to bribe Old Wang this year. When the time comes, we’ll fight it out.”

Tang Miao smiled and walked side by side with Wang Tianyu. “Sure! Do you want to compete in terms of wealth or strength? We’ll take it all. Actually, I heard that there are quite a few outstanding graduates from Spirit Academy this year. Why don’t you go over there and have some ideas?”

“Because the War God Temple can’t match what the Spirit Pagoda offers to them.” A sweet-sounding voice resounded. Another team walked over. There were more than 30 people in this team, but they were split into two teams. The leader of the team was a woman in an orange dress. She appeared to be in her twenties and was extremely beautiful with a sweet smile. She looked at Tang Miao with a hint of bitterness in her eyes and took a casual step forward, but she was already in front of the previous three people.

“Hmph.” Upon seeing this lady, General Yang Hui couldn’t help but snort. His expression was somewhat ugly, but he didn’t refute her.

“Lingshuang, long time no see.” Tang Miao smiled and greeted her before turning to Bi Ji. “Senior Bi Ji.”

Bai Lingshuang also bowed to Bi Ji and said, “Senior Bi Ji, we meet again.”

“Hello.” Bi Ji smiled and nodded.

Bai Lingshuang was undoubtedly the leader of the Spirit Pagoda’s team this time. The other team that followed them was from other forces, but they could not be compared to Shrek Academy, the Tang Sect, the War God Temple, or the Spirit Pagoda. There were limited slots, so they were placed together. Their accommodations were arranged at the same place as the Spirit Pagoda.

At this moment, Bai Lingshuang turned to Tang Miao and complained, “It’s been a long time since we last met because you never came to my appointment! I’ve already asked you out a few times but you refuse to come out. Hmph.”

Wang Tianyu and Yang Hui turned their heads away and pretended not to see.

Tang Miao replied awkwardly, “I didn’t dare to go! Who asked me to be afraid of you?”

“You are afraid of me?” Bai Lingshuang retorted. “When your Tang Sect bullied our Spirit Pagoda, I didn’t think that you were afraid of me at all. You two are two-faced.”

Tang Miao rubbed his nose and remained silent with a smile.

At this moment, Bi Ji said, “Since everyone is here, we are ready to begin. According to our agreement with the Federation, every 10 years, all parties from the Federation will be allowed to come to our place to see if there is a situation where soul masters and us soul beasts acknowledge each other and form a contract. This time, because Di Tian is about to undergo his last tribulation, we decided to bring it forward by a year. In a moment, please invite all the youths who are sincere in forming a contract with us to step forward and release their auras to enter the Reclining Garden to look for suitable partners. The premise is that both parties are willing. After making your choice, please return here and complete the contract under the witness of all parties.”

The people from all over were eager to try.

Bi Ji continued, “In the process of choosing, please restrain yourselves, young talents. The Reclining Garden is a place where soul beasts rest in peace. Battles are prohibited. If any fights occur, you will be disqualified immediately and will never be allowed to enter the Reclining Garden ever again.”

The prohibition of fighting clearly didn’t refer to the conflict between humans and soul beasts, but between the various human soul masters. After all, everyone hoped to obtain the recognition of a powerful soul beast to become their own Spirit Soul.

“Then please go back and remind everyone to get ready to enter.” Bi Ji smiled and nodded towards the representatives of the various forces.

Wang Tianyu returned to Shrek Academy’s side. Shrek Academy had the largest number of people, totaling over 50 people, almost catching up to the other teams. But from this, it could be seen that Shrek Academy had the best relationship with the soul beasts.

However, there was no point in having a big number of soul masters. It still depended on the compatibility between soul masters and soul beasts, as well as the degree of recognition that soul beasts had towards a soul master’s potential.

Not all soul beasts were willing to transform into Spirit Souls. If they didn’t have a suitable choice, they would rather sleep here forever than leave.
