Douluo: Yu Hao Pan Tang San

Chapter 484, Section 503: Target - Star Dou Great Forest

Ning Fengzhi asked curiously, "Oh, what is its weakness?"

Kenneth Fok said, "Bring the map up."

Then, two disciples of the Body Sect came to everyone with a map, which was a topographical map of the entire continent.

Huo Qiqiang stepped forward to the map and addressed everyone: "Currently, the soul beasts across the continent are divided into several large gathering areas: the Star Dou Great Forest, the Sunset Forest, the Far North, and the sea!"

All eyes turned to the map. Huo Qiqiang continued, "However, these places are far apart, separated by human territory. This natural geographical distance keeps the top-tier soul beasts isolated, each guarding their own territory, like an open hand unable to gather full strength. If we gather together and attack one area, the soul beasts in other areas cannot reach us in a short time, and they also have to cross human territory to get reinforcements. Therefore, in the war against the soul beasts, we can gain a local advantage."

“That makes sense. Although the spirit beasts are powerful, they are scattered across these four large regions. We only need to occupy one region, and the other three regions may not necessarily come to our aid. Even if they do, they would have to cross the territory of the human world. At that time, the Spirit Hall cannot just sit idly by,” Dai Tianfeng said.

Yu Yuanzhen asked, "Then, Sect Leader Huo, which of these four places should we attack?"

Huo Qiqiang said, "First, we must rule out the ocean. The ocean is not our main battlefield. Sea spirit beasts are much larger than land spirit beasts. Going there would be tantamount to suicide. Then, the far north is a gathering place for ice-attribute spirit beasts. Considering the complex composition of our alliance's spirit masters, the places we need to occupy should be gathering places for composite spirit beasts. So, in the end, we can only choose the Star Dou Great Forest and the Sunset Forest."

"Then there are these two forests. My suggestion is the Star Dou Great Forest," Huo Qiqiang said.

"Oh, Sect Master Huo, what are your thoughts?" Ning Fengzhi asked.

“The Star Dou Great Forest is much larger and has more types of spirit beasts than the Sunset Forest. Since we’re going to fight, why not choose this gathering place for spirit beasts? With this place, the younger generation of our alliance can gain the freedom to acquire spirit rings. Besides, the overlords here are the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, which aren’t very powerful spirit beasts. Although many spirit beasts over 100,000 years old have appeared recently, even if one or two more ferocious beasts over 200,000 years old appear, they are still within our capabilities,” Huo Qiqiang said.

Ning Fengzhi nodded and said, "Alright, then let's follow Sect Master Huo's suggestion and attack the Star Dou Great Forest."

Thus, without Yu Xiaogang's knowledge, the various forces began to operate, and before long, all the combat power above the Soul Saint level from all the forces gathered at the alliance headquarters.

Ning Fengzhi then told Yu Xiaogang about his plans to be born in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Gangzi paused for a moment, put down the half-eaten ginseng, let out a foul-smelling fart, patted his short hair, and said, "Since the situation has come to this point, we have no choice but to do this. Next, I, the leader of the alliance, will lead everyone to attack the Star Dou Great Forest and fight for humanity's right to freely hunt for soul rings."

Upon hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, everyone present looked at each other in bewilderment. Wait, when did we ever say that we would let this pig lead us?
Ning Fengzhi quickly stepped forward and said, "Alliance Leader Xiao Gang, I think that conquering the Star Dou Great Forest is just a trivial matter, far from needing to use your extraordinary wisdom. I believe you should stay at the Alliance Headquarters and stabilize the situation on the continent."

Normally, Ning Fengzhi would let this pig run wild, but now, with the survival of all forces at stake, Yu Xiaogang, a Soul Master, would only be a hindrance. Although Ning Fengzhi was quite good at flattery, Yu Xiaogang didn't see it that way.

Having just emerged from the shadow of defeat in the Battle of Lilun Plains, the perceptive Yu Xiaogang was eager to rebuild his prestige through a victorious battle.

The battle to conquer the Star Dou Great Forest gave Yu Xiaogang hope.

In his memory, few people knew the true extent of the Star Dou Great Forest. However, he happened to know a secret that few others knew: the true overlord of the Star Dou Great Forest was not the Titan Giant Ape, but the Azure Bull Python. Although that soul beast was powerful, its strength was not enough within the Divine Order Alliance, which had Limit Douluo.

Even if multiple 100,000-year-old soul beasts emerge in the entire Star Dou Great Forest, as long as their strength does not exceed that of the Azure Bull Python, the alliance will still win.

Since it's a sure win, how could I, Yu Xiaogang, miss this opportunity to make a name for myself? The entire Divine Order Alliance can only demonstrate his brilliance and greatness by defeating the evil soul beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest under his wise command and reclaiming humanity's autonomy in hunting soul rings.

Yu Xiaogang waved his hand and said righteously, "Hey, Sect Master Ning, you're wrong to say that. Right now, evil spirit beasts are appearing and blocking humans' right to obtain spirit rings. The Spirit Hall, which should be standing up for humanity, is colluding with the spirit beasts. At this critical moment, leading the Divine Order Alliance to break free from the spirit beasts' blockade and reclaim our rights is the inescapable responsibility of our alliance. I need to focus my energy on military matters."

Ning Fengzhi was somewhat taken aback by Yu Xiaogang's attitude. He opened his mouth, wanting to continue persuading Yu Xiaogang to give up this idea, but Huo Qiqiang stepped forward and said:
"Alliance Leader, you are willing to lead us to conquer the Star Dou Great Forest. With your wisdom, we will surely achieve a resounding victory in this battle," Huo Qiqiang said.

Yu Xiaogang's eyes lit up as he looked at Huo Qiqiang, thinking to himself, "What a kindred spirit!"

Ning Fengzhi was speechless, and said to Huo Qiqiang in a strained voice, "Sect Leader Huo, how could you agree to let this pig join this expedition? This Lung Mist is more trouble than he's worth. What if he drags us down with his actions?"

Huo Qi forced a voice into a line and said to Ning Fengzhi, "Hey, Sect Master Ning, it's alright. He's only a level 16 Soul Master right now. How much impact can he have on this battle? Don't worry, it'll be fine."

When Ning Fengzhi heard Huo Qiqiang say this, he could only sigh helplessly. In his opinion, Huo Qiqiang was too confident and underestimated this pig's ability to cause trouble. However, since things had come to this, there was nothing he could say.

“Since this decision has been made, then I, the leader of the alliance, shall give the order to depart,” Yu Xiaogang said.

Therefore, the Divine Order Alliance mobilized almost all of its high-level combat forces to attack the Star Dou Great Forest.
