Douluo: Wuhun Seven Killing Sword, Sword Opens the Gate of Heaven

Chapter 243 Yu Xiaogang's trip is destined to be extraordinary
Ning Tianchen was not surprised, as he already had some guesses in his mind.

Without Tang Hao's guidance, Tang San would not have been able to display his prowess and would have probably been defeated long ago. Afterwards, it would have been much easier for him to defeat seven enemies alone.

However, he did not gain nothing. In this battle with Tang San, he understood the importance of finding the opponent's weaknesses. Simply improving oneself will not make one a strong person.

The next day.

With the end of the final battle, the promotion competition officially came to an end.

The Qibao Academy team won 14 out of 14 games and ranked first in the Tiandou Empire Division promotion tournament. The Shrek Academy team lost only one game and ranked second.

However, many teams did not recognize their second place result.

You know, the Shrek team was defeated by the Qibao team 1-0 and 7-1, and the way they lost was quite shameful.

Feeling the gazes of the people around him, Dai Mubai's face suddenly darkened. "These guys were all defeated by us. What qualifications do they have to lecture us!"

After last night's guidance, the Shrek people gradually emerged from the haze of failure.

In the final battle just now, they won the Kamikaze Academy team cleanly and neatly, showing the style of Shrek Academy.

Tang San sneered, "Don't worry about their looks. In the finals, they are just runners-up for Shrek Academy. There is no need to mess up our mentality because of the words of the weak."

"Everyone remember, the finals is our stage to perform."

Yu Tianheng smiled and said, "Anyway, we are in second place, much better than these teams."

The third place team in the qualifying round was the Beast Academy team. The strength they demonstrated impressed many teams.

In previous tournaments, teams from various kingdoms and principalities had never made it into the top three in the promotion rounds. This time, they made an exception.

Upon seeing this, the royal representative of Haagen-Dazs burst into tears of joy.

The ranking was announced to be over, and as the emperor of the Tiandou Empire, he naturally had to give a closing speech.

During this period, he promised the same conditions that he had promised to the five teams of the Tiandou Empire to the contestants from various kingdoms and principalities.

They also added that the Tiandou Empire would hunt for promotion spirit rings for each contestant, and the period would not exceed 30,000 years.

For a large sect like the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, hunting spirit rings is easy, but for ordinary spirit masters, this promise is very tempting.

Of course, the prerequisite for all this is that you have to work hard for the royal family of the Tiandou Empire in order to receive such a reward.

After talking about the reward, Xue Ye announced that Crown Prince Xue Qinghe would lead the team to the finals venue as the representative of the royal family.

The competition schedule was very tight, so Xue Ye gave each team three days to rest. After three days, they would gather outside Tiandou City and go to Wuhun City to participate in the competition.

After the closing ceremony, each team returned to Tiandou City under the leadership of the Royal Knights.

On the way, Feng Xiaotian couldn't help but say: "In previous years, the Soul Master Competition was not held in Wuhun City. I don't know why, this year Wuhun Palace suddenly changed the venue of the competition."

The finals venue in previous years was a temporary arena built by the Spirit Hall at the junction of the two empires.

For some reason this year, it was held in Wuhun City instead.

Feng Xiaotian even heard that the Spirit Hall had already built a temporary arena, and it would be too abrupt to suddenly abandon it.

Ning Tianchen smiled and said, "Wuhun City is one of the three largest cities on the continent. It has complete facilities. Living there, the living conditions are much better than the temporary arena. Why, you are still not happy?"

Before the promotion match started, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect got the news. At that time, Tang San had not yet revealed his Clear Sky Hammer spirit.

Bibi Dong's speculation that the finals would be held in Wuhun City temporarily was not true because of the talent displayed by Tang San.

As for why the competition venue was temporarily changed, perhaps only Bibi Dong herself knows.

Oscar said with some longing: "I heard that Wuhun City is a holy land for soul masters. I wonder how it compares to Tiandou City?"

"Xiao Ao, you just seem like a bumpkin who has never seen the world." Chen Huayu put his arm around his shoulders and said happily.

Oscar asked back: "Have you been to Wuhun City?"

Chen Huayu shook his head.

Oscar's mouth twitched, "You haven't even been to your own place, and you still have the nerve to laugh at me? You fat bastard, I'm going to beat you up!"

Everyone laughed happily as they watched the two of them playing.

Ke Jie added: "We will set out with the main group, and it will take at least 20 days to reach Wuhun City. Now that the promotion game is over, everyone should have a good rest. We will be on the road for a long time."

Huang Wu and Bao Zhen tendered their resignations to everyone, "Captain Tianchen, and everyone else, we are the backups for the team. Now that the preliminaries and promotions are over, our mission is considered complete."

"We have graduated from the academy and will join the sect next. Everyone, take care of yourself on this trip. Baozhen and I will be at the sect, waiting for your triumphant return!"

After saying goodbye, the two substitutes officially left the team.

Now, there are only eight main players left in the Qibao Academy team.

Ke Jie did not assign any training tasks to everyone and gave them three days off.

The Beast Academy was not a local academy, so they could only spend the next three days in a hotel. At Ning Tianchen's suggestion, Ke Jie readily agreed to let them stay at Qibao Academy temporarily.

This goodwill can be regarded as laying some foundation for future exchanges between the two major sects.

In addition, Ning Tianchen arranged for Dugu Bo to investigate Yu Xiaogang's whereabouts.

According to the original development trend of time and space, Yu Xiaogang would rush to Wuhun City at this time.

Once Yu Xiaogang's whereabouts are confirmed, Ning Tianchen will do everything he can to trip him up.

After all, Master Yu had repeatedly targeted the Qibao Academy team in the preliminaries and promotion matches, so he would definitely fight back.

……

The next day, inside Shrek Academy.

In the preliminaries and promotions, they saw the gap between them and Qibao Academy. Even though there were only three days left before departure, Tang San and others still gathered on the playground to start a three-day special training.

It is worth mentioning that the teacher who led everyone in the special training this time was not Yu Xiaogang, but Flanders.

"Xiao San, I didn't see the master this morning. Where did he go?" Dai Mubai couldn't help but ask.

Tang San didn't say much.

Last night, after Yu Xiaogang gave some instructions, he took a carriage alone and headed for Wuhun City first.

Tang San certainly knew the destination of his trip. However, in order to cover up the fact that the twin martial spirits conflicted with each other, Tang San did not reveal the other party's whereabouts and just made a few random remarks to evade the question.

Flanders said, "Little monsters, only when we realize the gap can we catch up. From today on, we old guys will be your sparring partners. Especially Tianxin, you joined the team the latest, so cooperation with your teammates is particularly important."

Although Ma Hongjun was incorporated into the team, Tang San and others had distanced themselves from him intentionally or unintentionally.

You know, in the finals, every game cannot be taken lightly.

Ma Hongjun only has the strength of a Soul Master, so there is a high probability that he will not have the opportunity to play.

……

Later that day, Ning Tianchen saw Dugu Bo returning to the academy and couldn't help asking, "Old man, how is the investigation going? Have you found any trace of Yu Xiaogang?"

Dugu Bo smiled faintly, sat on the bench beside him, and said with a smile: "Little guy, you really guessed it right. Yu Xiaogang left the city alone on horseback last night."

"At first, I couldn't be sure of his destination. I followed him until early this morning, when Yu Xiaogang got on the official road to Wuhun City. Only then did I confirm his destination."

Ning Tianchen spread his hands, "Old man, you should know what happened to the first twin spirit master when he added a spirit ring to the second spirit ring. Tang San rashly added a spirit ring to the Clear Sky Hammer, and I think he encountered the same problem."

"It is reasonable for Yu Xiaogang to go to Wuhun City to seek a solution."

Dugu Bo was somewhat puzzled. "Twin spirit masters are extremely rare. Even the Spirit Hall may not have any records of this. If Yu Xiaogang goes to the Spirit City at this time, won't it be a waste of time?"

Ning Tianchen suddenly smiled, "You may not know yet, Pope Bibi Dong is the second twin spirit master in the continent. And Yu Xiaogang used to have a history with her. The story I told in the preliminaries was exactly what happened between Yu Xiaogang and Bibi Dong."

Dugu Bo suddenly realized, "I see. But Bibi Dong is not someone who would cherish old ties. Yu Xiaogang's trip is destined to be in vain."

Afterwards, the two exchanged pleasantries for a while.

Dugu Bo went to Tiandou Royal Academy on the pretext of visiting his granddaughter.

After Ning Tianchen and Tian Chao had a discussion in the academy, they hurried to the Prince's Mansion.

Right now, the only one who has the ability to trip up Yu Xiaogang is this young master of the Spirit Hall. …

Ning Tianchen, holding the token, entered the Prince's Mansion unhindered.

Qingluan Douluo, who was talking to Xue Qinghe, said, "Young Master, Ning Tianchen is here."

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure disappeared from the spot.

Xue Qinghe straightened his clothes and sat at his desk to handle government affairs.

Seeing Ning Tianchen, he pretended to be surprised and said, "Brother Tianchen, why are you here? Please come in quickly."

"If Your Highness the Crown Prince is busy with government affairs, I will come back later." Ning Tianchen said with a bow.

Xue Qinghe waved his hand, "It's okay, you can tell me what you want to tell me."

Ning Tianchen did not beat around the bush and told the other party about Yu Xiaogang's trip to Wuhun City and his speculation about Tang San.

After hearing this, Xue Qinghe touched his chin, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I have never heard of a precedent of twin martial spirits being successfully cultivated on the mainland. Yu Xiaogang may not get the desired result if he goes to the Spirit Hall, right?"

Ning Tianchen did not mention Bibi Dong's matter, but said, "Your Highness, I am worried that Yu Xiaogang's actions may be suspected of betraying the information of the contestants of the Tiandou Empire."

"Although Bishop Sarath watched every game on the high platform, he could not directly feel the situation of each team. Yu Xiaogang's actions a few days ago undoubtedly completely offended His Highness and the Tiandou Royal Family. If he sold the detailed strength of the major academies to the Spirit Hall in order to seek the protection of the Spirit Hall, it is not impossible."

"It will be disadvantageous to us in the finals. We can even rule out the possibility that the Spirit Hall and Star Luo Empire teams will join forces to encircle and suppress us."

Yu Xiaogang had no good feelings towards the Spirit Hall, so it was impossible for him to show his affection to Bibi Dong. These things were just Ning Tianchen's excuses.

He knew that Xue Qinghe and Bibi Dong were at odds with each other, and the defeat of the Spirit Hall team was what the former was happy to see.

Since both parties have the same interests, they may be able to cooperate.

On the surface, Xue Qinghe's face was full of surprise and disbelief. "If that's the case, it's really disadvantageous to us. I'm afraid it's too late for me to send people to chase them now."

"How about this, when the main force arrives at Wuhun City, I will send someone to inquire about Yu Xiaogang's situation in Wuhun City. If he really betrays the information, I will deal with him myself."

After finishing the important business, Xue Qinghe took Ning Tianchen to handle the imperial affairs.

It was not until the evening that Ning Tianchen left the Prince's Mansion.

Qingluan Douluo reported: "Young Master, the letter has been sent. Next, the chief priest will take care of everything."

Xue Qinghe clenched his fists, "In this final, I must slap that woman in the face. As for Yu Xiaogang, it is unlikely that he will seek protection from the Spirit Hall. Tang San is his disciple and Tang Hao's son. The Spirit Hall will not accept them as master and disciple no matter what."

"Yu Xiaogang would not have sent Tang San to that woman's clutches. I guess he wanted to obtain that woman's twin spirit cultivation method."

Qingluan Douluo thought for a moment and proposed a possibility, "Ning Tianchen came to find the young master, proving that he knew the young master could help and trip up Yu Xiaogang. In this way, even if he didn't guess the young master's true identity and waited until he arrived in Wuhun City. No, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect must have eyes and ears in Wuhun City."

"As long as we know what happened to Yu Xiaogang, we can be sure that the young master is secretly colluding with the Spirit Hall."

Xue Qinghe's face showed no sign of nervousness, and he asked calmly, "He used Yu Xiaogang as bait to force me to reveal my true identity?"

Qingluan Douluo smiled bitterly, "I don't think so. After the previous confrontations, he may have guessed that the young master was colluding with the Spirit Hall. This time, he came here to make Yu Xiaogang unhappy, and it was also true that he wanted to use this opportunity to confront the young master."

"I think that after the Soul Master Competition, the confrontation between the young master and him will determine whether the plan can proceed smoothly."

Xue Qinghe didn't care. "How can he bring me down just by guessing? Will Xue Ye believe his one-sided words?"

Qingluan Douluo reminded: "Young Master, don't forget your gender. Appearance can be disguised, but gender cannot. If Ning Fengzhi invites you to take a bath, how should you deal with it?"

"If you shirk responsibility, wouldn't that just make things worse?"

Xue Qinghe raised his eyebrows.

The Tiandou Empire does have a tradition of masters and apprentices taking a bath together. Once suspicion arises about his identity, wouldn't it be proof that he has something to hide if he refuses to take a bath?

Changing the subject, Qingluan Douluo continued, "Young Master, don't worry. There are currently no spies from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect around the Crown Prince's Mansion. Even if Ning Tianchen has some guesses, at least it's not to the point of no return."

……

Three days passed quietly.

Early that morning, the Tiandou Empire prepared luxurious carriages and a thousand-man escort team for each participating team.

Led by Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, this team of more than a thousand people set out from Tiandou City in a mighty manner.

As the team with the most hope of winning the championship, the Qibao Academy team had their carriages placed in the center of the team. Even if they were attacked, they would have enough time to respond.

It is worth mentioning that the two substitutes Huang Yuan and Bao Zhen also went to Wuhun City with the team.

After the promotion match, they reported to the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect.

After becoming disciples of the sect, Ning Fengzhi gave them a long vacation and allowed them to follow the main group to watch the finals.

"Haha, Old Huang, then you can just watch us slaughter everyone in the ring." Chen Huayu hooked his arm around Huang Wu's shoulder and said with a smile.

After spending so much time with the crowd, Huang Wu no longer had the initial restraint. He laughed and said, "If you want to say that the captain and his men are killing people everywhere, I believe it; but for you, Fatty, forget it."

"That's right, fatty, don't flatter yourself. If I assist Sword Bone Douluo, I can also defeat Titled Douluo." Oscar said sarcastically.

"These guys." Ning Tianchen shook his head helplessly.

The journey to Wuhun City would take more than 20 days. With Chen Huayu and others making jokes, the journey would not be too boring.

Unconsciously, Ning Tianchen looked out the window.

It would only take seven days to reach Wuhun City if they rode at full speed. Yu Xiaogang was probably halfway through his journey and was not far from Wuhun City.

With Xue Qinghe interfering, this trip to the Spirit Hall is destined to be extraordinary for Yu Xiaogang.

Ning Tianchen moved his thoughts away from Yu Xiaogang and thought, "Xue Qinghe must have a counselor sent by the Spirit Hall. He should be able to see that I have doubts about his identity."

This is not a bad thing.

If one wants to save the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect in Bibi Dong's soul hunting operation, contacting Xue Qinghe is only the first step. The most important step is the second step - talking to Xue Qinghe about his true identity!

Qian Renxue has no power of her own in the Spirit Hall, so she will definitely try to win over geniuses from all sides to strengthen herself.

In the original time and space, she was able to put aside her father's murder hatred and win over Tang San, so she might also win over herself.

There are still more than five years until the Soul Hunting Operation. During this period, Ning Tianchen must make some arrangements.

……

a few days later.

Yu Xiaogang, exhausted from the long journey, finally arrived at Wuhun City.

As a holy place in the eyes of soul masters, the conditions for entering Wuhun City are also quite harsh - only soul masters are qualified to enter.

"Stop! Show your soul master's notebook or reveal your soul ring before you can enter the city." The city guards stopped him.

Yu Xiaogang dismounted, took out the soul master's note from his pocket and handed it to the other party.

During the inspection, he unconsciously put his hands behind his back, raised his head, looked at the three big words on the city wall, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Wuhun City, it's been a long time since I last visited it."

Seeing him acting like this, the guards thought he was a powerful soul master, and when they read the soul master's notes, they couldn't help but show more respect for him.

"hold head high?"

Seeing the record in the notebook that Yu Xiaogang only had level 29 soul power, the guard couldn't help but doubt his own eyes, thinking that he had mistook level 92 for level 29.

After rubbing his eyes and looking again, he was sure that Yu Xiaogang was only level 29.

Moreover, the soul master's notebook records that Yu Xiaogang also received a soul master subsidy from the Spirit Hall this month.

"You are so old, yet you still go to collect soul master subsidies. Aren't you ashamed?" The guard looked at Yu Xiaogang with contempt and threw the note to him casually.

"You're just trying to cater to people!" Yu Xiaogang waved his sleeves and led the horse into the city.

"A level 29 great soul master dares to run wild in Wuhun City. Haha, someone will teach you a lesson." Looking at the other person's receding back, the guard sneered.
