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

Chapter 67 The Tang Clan's Invitation? I'll accept!

"Who gave you the right to act so recklessly?"

Jiang Yi appeared beside Tang Wuling at some point and said in an annoyed tone.

In other words, he was always on guard against the opponent's spirit fusion skill, otherwise he really wouldn't have had time to make a move.

"Hehe! I'm confident."

Tang Wuling winced in pain, covering her forehead with her small hand, but her pretty face still showed a carefree smile.

She just used the Golden Dragon Claw to protect her vital parts; at most, she'll be seriously injured, but she won't die.

Even now, recalling that moment of shock still leaves her with lingering fear.

"But thank you, brother..."

Before Tang Wuling could finish speaking, she suddenly opened her arms and hugged Jiang Yi tightly, burying her face in his chest, her voice muffled.

Just now, the halberd flew over and cushioned her feet, blocking most of the impact from the giant ice and snow tree.

"Don't be so impulsive next time!"

Jiang Yi raised his hand and rubbed her little head, saying in a helpless tone.

If she hadn't kicked him, Gu Yue might have already sent Xie Xie out.

"Dance Spirit! I'm sorry!"

At this moment, Xie Xie also rushed over in a panic, his face full of self-blame and guilt.

If it weren't for saving him, Tang Wuling's teleportation ability would have allowed her to easily avoid that terrifying Martial Soul Fusion Technique.

"It's okay! We're partners, aren't we?"

Tang Wuling released Jiang Yi, waved to Xie Xie with a bright smile, trying to dispel the gloom on his face.

However, this time Xie Xie did not respond with his usual cheerful demeanor.

He simply lowered his head in silence, his hands clenched into fists, his knuckles turning slightly white from the force, and his brows filled with an unyielding gloom.

Jiang Yi noticed Xie Xie's unusual behavior and sighed inwardly.

At this moment, Wu Changkong descended from the sky, his gaze sweeping over the group. After confirming that they were all unharmed, he nodded slightly.

"Since everything's alright, let's go!"

Class Zero has completed their mission in this Tianhai Alliance competition. Jiang Yi and Xu Xiaoyan also won a championship, which is enough to give back to the academy.

"Ok!"

The group nodded and followed Wu Changkong as he turned and left the arena.

The commotion behind them continued. After the false alarm, the competition resumed, and the appearance of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill was a hot topic of conversation.

But for the students in Class Zero, this unexpected event was brewing a different kind of turbulence.

……

The atmosphere in the hotel room was somewhat somber.

The members of Class Zero gathered in Wu Changkong's room for a post-match debriefing.

Gu Yue, Tang Wuling, and Xie Xie stood in front of Wu Changkong, while Jiang Yi and Xu Xiaoyan, who had already finished their match, sat on the sofa to the side, watching the drama unfold.

Xu Xiaoyan held half a watermelon, feeding Jiang Yi one spoonful and herself the other, watching the lecture in front of her with great interest.

They just won the doubles championship and have three days of immunity from criticism!
"Gu Yue!"

Wu Changkong looked at Gu Yue with a cold gaze and a serious tone.

"As the team's commander, your support and overall vision at crucial moments are still lacking. Before the Martial Soul Fusion Skill was fully formed, there was plenty of time to move Xie Xie first and then evacuate yourself..."

Gu Yue remained calm, merely nodding slightly in response to Wu Changkong's criticism without offering any explanation.

She knew she had a problem, but it was an unconscious reaction.

Xie Xie's position in her heart was not enough for her to look at him differently.

"And you too! Tang Wuling!"

Wu Changkong looked at Tang Wuling again, his tone becoming even more serious.

"Don't you think it's great that you were willing to risk your life to save Xie Xie?"

"If you hadn't kicked him like that, Gu Yue would have moved Xie Xie away long ago."

"This spirit of selflessly saving others is commendable, but next time, remember to choose to trust your partner first."

Wu Changkong gave Tang Wuling some instructions, his tone softening slightly.

Unlike Tang Wuling's teleportation, Gu Yue's teleportation relies on her control over spatial elements, which requires a certain amount of time to gather the elements.

Tang Wuling kicked Xie Xie away, saving him but also disrupting Gu Yue's rhythm. "Understood! Teacher Wu!"

Tang Wuling stuck out her tongue and said somewhat shyly.

She reacted purely on instinct and didn't think much about it.

Finally, Wu Changkong's gaze fell on Xie Xie.

Xie Xie subconsciously straightened his back, preparing to face the harshest criticism. He knew that the team was in danger today, and he was the one with the biggest problem.

However, Wu Changkong only glanced at him indifferently before looking away, leaving behind only a casual remark.

"this is not your fault."

Xie Xie looked up in astonishment, his eyes filled with disbelief.

But then his eyes dimmed. Judging from his strength, it wasn't his fault that he couldn't dodge.

But... lacking strength is the biggest mistake!
If it were Jiang Yi, Tang Wuling or Gu Yue wouldn't need to intervene at all; it was he who dragged the team down.

Xie Xie sighed, a sense of powerlessness and defeat washing over him.

Wu Changkong took in Xie Xie's disappointment but said nothing. Instead, he continued to look at the crowd and spoke.

"That concludes today's summary. Jiang Yi and Tang Wuling, you two stay! Everyone else, dismissed!"

"Yes!"

Apart from Jiang Yi and Tang Wuling, the other three left one after another.

"Hehe! Sister Guyue, come to my room, I have something I want to tell you."

Xu Xiaoyan affectionately linked arms with Gu Yue, whispering sweet nothings to each other as they left, chatting and laughing.

"..."

Xie Xie walked heavily, paused at the door, seemed to want to say something but ultimately said nothing and chose to leave silently.

"Go to the Tang Clan branch in Tianhai City! They need to speak with you about something!"

Without wasting any words, Wu Changkong sent the location of the Tang Clan branch to the two of them, then looked at them meaningfully.

Go! Make the most of this opportunity!

Wu Changkong patted the two of them on the shoulders and then said no more.

"Yes!"

Although Jiang Yi and his companion were puzzled, they still bowed and agreed, and then left the room.

"Brother, what do you want with us?"

Walking down the hotel corridor, Tang Wuling linked arms with Jiang Yi and asked in a puzzled tone.

Logically speaking, they are still outer disciples, belonging to the Tang Sect branch in Donghai City. Why would Tianhai City be looking for them?

"I don't know... Maybe we'll find out in time."

Jiang Yi shook his head, but he had some guesses in his heart.

Nanali had reminded him a couple of days ago that, besides her and Leng Yulai, there seemed to be someone else secretly following him.

However, that person was very strong, so Nanali and the other two dared not make any rash moves.

Now it seems, perhaps they are from the Tang Clan?

"Ok!"

Tang Wuling nodded, suppressing her curiosity, and left the hotel with Jiang Yi.

……

On a high floor of the hotel, Wu Changkong stood on the balcony with his hands behind his back, gazing at the distant scenery, a hint of worry on his face.

A few minutes later, the door was gently pushed open, and a figure returned and walked back into the room.

Xie Xie stood at the door, hesitant, his face showing a mixture of struggle and reluctance.

"Dance teacher!"

Xie Xie finally took a deep breath, walked behind Wu Changkong, and mustered up his courage to speak.

"I want to quit Class Zero!"

Wu Changkong did not turn around; only his voice echoed in the room, his tone still calm, as if he had expected it.

"Have you decided?"
