Peerless Tang Sect: Hurricane Infinite Wind

Chapter 96: The Inside Story of the Tang Clan's Decline

On the top of the imperial city, Xu Jiawei, the emperor of the Xingluo Empire, silently watched the backs of the people from Shrek Academy disappearing in the distance with a deep gaze.

"Brother, why did you suddenly decide to remove the Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Soul Bone from the Starlight Auction House and replace it with the Rouge Dragon Left Arm Bone?"

Hearing the crisp voice behind him, Xu Jiawei turned around with a smile.

As all the civil and military officials bowed their heads and saluted, a girl in a red dress came in front of Xu Jiawei.

This girl looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, and her beauty was even comparable to Jiang Nannan's. Moreover, because she was a few years older than Jiang Nannan, her figure was well developed.

Xu Jiujiu looked in the direction Xu Jiawei had been looking at, and happened to see everyone wearing the dark green uniforms of Shrek Academy.

"Brother, I remember that in the reserve team of Shrek Academy, there was a guy named Beibei, whose martial soul was the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex. You took out that soul bone, aren't you trying to take the opportunity to show off to the Shrek executives?" A hint of doubt appeared in Xu Jiujiu's beautiful blue eyes.

"Yes and no. Rouge Dragon Soul Bone is not only for soul masters with dragon-type martial souls to absorb, but also for soul masters with annihilation attributes." Xu Jiawei smiled faintly.

"Doesn't Wu Xuan's martial soul also have the attribute of annihilation? But that's not right, brother. Doesn't he already have a left arm soul bone?" Xu Jiujiu stared at the avenue.

"The soul bone is just an introduction. Jiujiu, do you still remember the male dragon that chased Giant Strength Douluo like crazy after hunting the female Rouge Dragon?" Xu Jiawei smiled and shook his head.

"Brother! Do you want to tell Shrek Academy about the news of the one hundred thousand year old lone soul beast? That's a one hundred thousand year old soul ring and a one hundred thousand year old soul bone!" Xu Jiujiu's eyes flashed, and he looked at Xu Jiawei in surprise.

"That's right! Maintaining good relations with Shrek Academy is a must. The Sun-Moon Empire has become increasingly restless over the years. I also feel a growing sense of crisis about Mingde Hall's products. Once the Sun-Moon Empire makes a move, our country will be the first to bear the brunt. After all, we originally belonged to the Douluo Continent, which consists of three countries. It's inevitable that there will be suspicion between us."

"By then, Shrek Academy will be the first to truly support us. Furthermore, the young man I noticed once triggered a meeting at the Sea God Pavilion at Shrek Academy. He possesses the Ultimate Wind Martial Spirit and is suspected to possess a second martial spirit. Isn't it worth our initiative to befriend him?" Xu Jiawei sighed and continued:

"Twelve years old, a Soul Master above level 40, with a unique combination of one yellow, two purple, and one black soul ring, as well as powerful soul skills and rich combat experience. These are all synonymous with genius. If nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely become an epoch-making powerhouse in the future. Investing in and befriending such a peerless genius will only benefit us, not harm us."

Xu Jiujiu couldn't help but nodded when she heard this. Now she could understand why her brother was willing to give up that soul bone and the information about the rare lone 100,000-year-old soul beast.

After the first three rounds of competition, the situation gradually became clear. The traditional strong teams gradually broke through. The one that caused the most discussion was still the first academy on the continent, Shrek!

Today is Shrek Academy's fourth round-robin match, and everyone is in a calm mood. Wang Yan said that none of their next opponents can compare with Zhengtian Academy, and the next games will be easy.

When Wu Xuan came on stage and drew the 223 tactics, he immediately lost the chance to play in the game.

Without Wu Xuan taking action, Beibei and his friends easily won the first two games, and there was no need to compete in the third three-on-three game.

The round-robin tournament has entered the fourth round and has entered the middle stage. Shrek Academy's first group has only eight teams, and each team has to participate in seven games to complete a round.

In the next three matches, Shrek Academy encountered no more opponents that could pose a threat to them, and they triumphed all the way. Through two single-elimination matches and one team battle, they defeated their opponents in a row, finally achieving a perfect seven-match record and taking first place in their group, advancing to the next brutal elimination round.

As expected, the one that advanced from the first group with them was Zhengtian Academy, which has three Soul Kings.

Since there were nine teams in other groups, they had three days of rest after the Shrek Academy game.

Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yuheng had fully recovered from their injuries as early as the fourth round-robin match, but due to Wang Yan's tactical arrangements, apart from appearing in the first game, they did not even go to the competition venue in the subsequent games.

Their goal was to win the championship, and their biggest competitor was undoubtedly the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy. Hiding their strength was necessary at this stage.

The sun sets in the west, and the golden sunset illuminates the entire Xingluo City.

After today's game, the entire round-robin tournament ended. Wu Xuan and others returned to the Xingluo Royal Hotel chatting and laughing.

"Take a break and gather in the conference room to celebrate tonight." Coming to the floor dedicated to Shrek, Wang Yan looked at the students and smiled.

"Alright!" Everyone agreed and returned to their rooms one after another. As soon as Huo Yuhao opened the door, he was startled by two figures.

It wasn't that he was timid, but rather that the two men looked too strange. One had a particularly large right arm, resembling the legendary Qilin arm, short brown-black hair, and an imposing aura. The other was thin, with a head three times the size of an average person, looking like a kidnapper holding hostages.

"My two brothers, let's talk it over nicely. I've been an orphan since childhood and I'm very poor. You won't make any money even if you kidnap me." Huo Yuhao immediately acted pitiful.

"Orphan! That's great. We like orphans like you." Qilin Arm looked kindly at Huo Yuhao who was forced into a corner.

The Qilin Arm's self-proclaimed kind smile actually frightened Huo Yuhao so much that he kept calling out to Yi Lao for help.

But Electrolux didn't respond at all.

The large-headed man stepped forward and gave what he thought was his gentlest smile. He said, "Huo Yuhao, twelve years old, level twenty-seven soul power, a martial soul eye, a rare spiritual-attribute martial soul, and the legendary Eight-Angled Mysterious Ice Grass ultimate martial soul. Young man, you have a promising future."

Huo Yuhao was instantly terrified, his muscles tensing. "Who are you? How do you know so much about me?"

Qilin Arms opened its two arms, one large and one small: "We are from the Benti Sect. We are your closest family in the future. With us here, you will no longer be alone in your future."

"Family?" Huo Yuhao was stunned. Although he often mentioned his orphan status, he had never thought of himself as an orphan! Even if he wanted family, he wouldn't look for these two suspected kidnappers.

"Yes, family!" Big Head continued, "The Body Sect is the home of all spirit masters with the Body Martial Soul in the world. We are your closest family. Come, Huo Yuhao, join the Body Sect, and we will help you truly awaken your Body Martial Soul."

Huo Yuhao shook his head repeatedly. "I won't go. I've already joined the Tang Sect and have my own sect. I also have a teacher at Shrek Academy. It's impossible for me to join another sect."

"Tang Sect? What is this Gou Ba Sect? Big brother, have you heard of it?" Qilin Arm looked at Big Head in surprise.

"I haven't heard of them. There are too many fake sects on the mainland. How could I remember them all? It's also because the world is in chaos and anyone dares to set up a sect." Big Head snorted unhappily.

"The Tang Sect is not a fake sect. The Tang Sect was founded by Lord Poseidon ten thousand years ago. It is a first-class sect in the world." Huo Yuhao roared in anger.

"What the hell? Hahaha! So you are talking about the destroyed Tang Sect? Hahaha!" Upon hearing this, Big Head suddenly burst into laughter and almost rolled on the ground.

"What?!" Qilin Arm was stunned for a moment. Looking at his eldest brother who was laughing so hard, he asked uncertainly, "Brother! Is he talking about the Tang Sect that only knows how to fight among themselves and suppress its affiliated branches?"

"That's it, that's it! It's been destroyed for so many years and it's still the number one sect? Brother Yuhao, you've been fooled by a liar." Datou finally straightened up and looked at Huo Yuhao with a distressed face.

Upon hearing this, Qilin Arm laughed and pounded the ground.

"You are not allowed to insult Teacher Xiaoya, and you are even more not allowed to insult the Tang Sect. I will not join you, so just give up on this idea!" Huo Yuhao roared.

The Qilin Arm stared at Huo Yuhao in shock and exclaimed, "What! Brother Yuhao, are you sick?! Every force on the continent doesn't know this. The Tang Sect's leader was weak, but the other factions are strong. With hidden weapons now obsolete, the Tang Sect's main branch has become even more destitute. It's fine if it's just a waste, but after all, it has a group of loyal affiliated families supporting it. It won't be easy for it to fall, and at least it can preserve its ancestral foundation."

Big Head curled his lips and continued, "But the Tang Clan's top brass are truly short-sighted. They acted as if they were afraid the branches would seize their power, so they relied on their blind loyalty to suppress them using all sorts of tactics. In the end, the branches were suppressed and destroyed, but the main branch's useless members were incapable of defending them, so their foundation was naturally lost as well, ultimately ending up in ruin. Brother Yuhao, do you think the Tang Clan deserves loyalty?"

Huo Yuhao's expression darkened, but it was only for a moment. The next moment, Huo Yuhao said with a firm expression, "The previous Tang Sect may have had its flaws, but the Tang Sect that my companions and I will establish will be the Tang Sect of the new era."

"You, you, you!! Are you mentally retarded? What's wrong with joining our big family, the Benti Sect?" The hand of the Qilin Arm pointing at Huo Yuhao began to tremble, and it was obvious that he was very angry.

"I am a member of the Tang Sect in life and a ghost of the Tang Sect in death. The Tang Sect saved me when I was in the most difficult time. There is no way I will defect from the Tang Sect." Huo Yuhao said firmly.

　Let me explain why the protagonist rebelled against the Tang Sect!
