Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul, the Fangtian Halberd, Empowers Me with Filial Piety

Chapter 100: Spirit Pagoda Headquarters! Goodbye, Leng Yaozhu!

The next day, at the entrance of the Blacksmith Association in Tiandou City.

Jiang Yi bid farewell to Zhenhua and walked out of the association.

After completing the battle armor, he prepared to leave, taking with him the soul-forging metal that Zhenhua had specially prepared for him.

As for Tianduan Metal, Zhenhua said that it would take some time to prepare, and he would be notified as soon as the forging was completed.

"You're welcome to come visit me more often when you have time!"

Zhenhua personally escorted Jiang Yi to the door, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile.

This young man will likely become a core figure in the Tang Clan in a decade or so, so it's always a good thing to build some positive connections.

"Yes! Definitely! Uncle Hua, just don't find me annoying!"

Jiang Yi nodded slightly and smiled amiably.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries at the door, he turned and got into his car, disappearing at the end of the street.

After Jiang Yi left, a figure suddenly appeared beside Zhen Hua.

The newcomer's gaze was fixed on the direction where Jiang Yi had disappeared, a complex expression tinged with a barely perceptible hint of regret.

"Hey! Old Mu! What era are we living in? Stop with your old-fashioned sectarianism!"

Looking at Mu Ye's dejected expression, Zhenhua couldn't help but shake his head.

That old man is really senile!

Given the current situation of the Body Sect, with only a handful of members, as long as they can build a reputation and attract people, they will have made a profit.

"Ten thousand years ago, your ancestors from the Body Sect were able to set aside their prejudices and entrust the innate secret techniques to Spirit Ice Douluo... You're getting more and more backward as you get older!"

Zhenhua patted his old friend on the shoulder and said earnestly.

After he finished speaking, he said no more, humming a little tune, turned around, and slowly walked into the association's gate.

Some knots in one's heart must ultimately be untied by the person involved; no amount of advice from outsiders will help.

"..."

Makino remained silent, Zhenhua's words echoing repeatedly in his mind.

He gazed at the street ahead for a long time before letting out a barely audible sigh and disappearing from the spot.

Perhaps... this guy is right!
……

Shrek City, the undisputed number one metropolis in the Federation.

As soon as Jiang Yi stepped out of the Soul Guidance Train Station, he saw towering buildings, reminiscent of a first-class metropolis from his previous life.

With Shrek Academy, the Spirit Pagoda headquarters, and the Tang Sect headquarters as its three super powers, Shrek City is the undisputed number one city on the continent.

"But Shrek City doesn't belong to the Federation..."

Jiang Yi murmured to himself, but secretly shook his head.

Shrek may seem to be thriving, but it's nothing more than a case of raging fire and burning oil. Even without the Holy Spirit Cult, it would have been a matter of time before they were sent to heaven.

When Yun Ming attacked Mingdu, he almost blew up the Federation capital with a single shot. It's astonishing that the Federation tolerated it.

More importantly, Shrek Academy, a single academy, occupies a vast amount of resources, and the major powers of the Federation will not accept such an uncontrolled and transcendent entity.

The Tang Clan is, after all, a major manufacturer of soul tools, representing the Federation's advanced productive forces, and has substantial interests entangled with the Federation.

In the original story, the Tang Clan was bombed, but the damage wasn't actually that great. The Tang Clan headquarters in Shrek City was more symbolic.

Zang Xin usually stays in Tiandou City. In the original story, the bombing of the Tang Sect was more like a convenient way to block the road and prevent Shrek Academy from having a back door.

After all, with Shrek Academy attacked, the Tang Sect headquarters nearby couldn't just sit idly by.

"Overthinking is useless; improving one's own strength is the key."

Jiang Yi shook his head, trying to clear his mind of these thoughts.

More than a month has passed, and Shrek Academy's enrollment has stopped. Tang Wuling and her friends enrolled a few days ago.

However, Zang Xin has already made arrangements for him, and it is said that it is still the Tang Clan's ancestral spot.

Zang Xin also spoke mysteriously, saying that he wanted Jiang Yi to have a good experience of the academic life his ancestors had gone through.

"Let's go register at the Spirit Pagoda first!"

Jiang Yi thought for a moment and instead of going directly to Shrek Academy, he hailed a taxi and headed towards the headquarters of the Spirit Pagoda.

Since there was no rush, he planned to complete the registration for Battle Armor Master first.

……

More than half an hour later, Jiang Yi arrived at the headquarters of the Spirit Pagoda.

Shrek City is divided into an outer city and an inner city. The headquarters of the Spirit Pagoda is located on the edge of the outer city, near the former Star Dou Great Forest.

"Hello, sir. Is this your first time visiting the Spirit Tower headquarters? How can I help you?"

As soon as Jiang Yi entered the Spirit Transmission Tower, a staff member in the hall greeted him.

"Hmm! I need to register my battle armor."

Jiang Yi nodded to the staff member.

The Spirit Pagoda headquarters was considerably larger than the one in Donghai City, so having someone guide the way would save a lot of time. Upon hearing this, the staff members instantly became respectful; such a young Battle Armor Master was worthy of attention no matter where he was.

"Please follow me. The registration area is in a reserved area on the upper floors."

Next, the staff led Jiang Yi into the elevator, which rose rapidly and finally stopped on the 101st floor.

"Welcome to the 101st floor of the Spirit Pagoda, Dragon's Roar in the Sky!"

The staff member opened the elevator door for Jiang Yi with a tone of pride and respect.

Jiang Yi raised an eyebrow. "Dragon's Roar in the Sky"—that's pretty impressive. The Spirit Pagoda certainly knows how to name things.

As I stepped out of the elevator, another staff member in a white dress came to greet me; she was a young woman in her early twenties.

"Respected Battle Armor Master, my name is Shuiyu. I will be at your service from now on. What service do you need?"

Shuiyu smiled sweetly, sizing up the unusually young guest in front of her with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

"I'm here to register my battle armor."

Jiang Yi said, noticing her name at the same time, and asked with a smile.

"Waterfish? Your surname is Water?"

This surname reminded him of a legendary figure from 20,000 years ago.

"Ah, no, sir."

Shuiyu smiled somewhat embarrassedly, and then explained.

"This is just my job title. Because I grew up in a coastal city, and my martial spirit is a fish, and I often cry, people say I'm too watery, so they call me Water Fish..."

As she spoke, her cheeks flushed slightly, which actually meant she was a little crybaby.

"Oh, a lot of water? Really a lot?"

Jiang Yi blinked, a slight smile playing on his lips, a hint of curiosity on his face.

"Ahem! Sir, you're joking."

Shuiyu then realized that there was something wrong with what she said, and her face turned even redder. She quickly changed the subject and walked ahead to lead the way.

"Register here, sir, please follow me!"

Jiang Yi couldn't help but smile, stopped teasing her, and followed her.

Soon, the two arrived at the dedicated testing room for the battle armor.

This is a hexagonal space, with complex soul-guiding arrays covering the ground.

Jiang Yi walked in and immediately released his battle armor, which glowed with points of purple light.

After his battle armor appeared, a beam of light descended from the sky in the testing room, scanning Jiang Yi's body before an electronic voice sounded.

"Two-word battle armor, battle armor level, red grade!"

The water fish waiting nearby widened its eyes and looked at Jiang Yi with great interest.

Battle armor, like soul rings, is generally classified into white, yellow, purple, black, red, and the legendary gold.

Two-word battle armor masters are not uncommon in the Spirit Pagoda headquarters, but those that can be rated as red are not many. This is already the top-level battle armor of the same rank!

As for battle armor with a gold rating, that belongs only to the realm of four-word battle armor.

"Is it okay?"

Jiang Yi smiled and waved his hand in front of the stunned little girl.

Jiang Yi was not surprised by this result. With a master craftsman and a god-level mecha pilot assisting him, it would be strange if it weren't for top-tier battle armor.

"Ahem! Sir, please come over here and register your personal information."

Shuiyu snapped out of her daze and quickly pulled Jiang Yi to the counter to register their personal information.

While helping Jiang Yi fill out the form, she secretly winked at her colleague sitting next to her.

Jiang Yi's colleague understood immediately and sent his personal information directly to a leader who was keen on recruiting talent.

……

In an office on a high floor of the Spirit Pagoda.

A graceful red-haired woman was lounging on the sofa, holding a cup of black tea, enjoying a rare moment of leisure in the afternoon.

"Beep! Beep beep!"

The communicator next to me suddenly started vibrating.

"Ok?"

Leng Yaozhu raised her delicate eyebrows, gracefully put down her teacup, picked up her communicator, and began browsing messages.

"A thirteen-year-old two-word Battle Armor Master? Red-level?"

She parted her red lips slightly, murmured to herself, and swiped her finger across the screen to bring up the accompanying simple information and blurry images captured on site.

"He's definitely a promising talent... but why does he look so familiar?"
