~225 The New Number One in the World
As Dugu Bo finished speaking, everyone suddenly recalled the Soul Master Competition of that year. Many people present had witnessed it with their own eyes, and looking back, the tragic situation of Dugu Xin and others is still vivid in their minds.
He was almost dead, but luckily he was rescued in time.
At the same time, many people recalled the Haotian Sect's tyrannical behavior in the past.
Looking at the people of Haotian Sect again, they all seemed to be gloating over the misfortune.
After all, he is the big brother in most of their minds, who can help their family to go further and even give birth to a soul master guild named Dou Luo.
The Haotian Sect, which was once domineering and tyrannical but has now fallen into decline.
I guess everyone knows how to choose.
Even Ning Fengzhi shook his head, thinking to himself that if Lin Hanye did not have a life-and-death feud with him, he would probably stand on the side of the Soul Master Guild.
Unfortunately, there are no ifs in this world.
"You you guys..." Tang Bai looked at Dugu Bo, then at the soul masters watching the battle around him, and saw that they were all gloating, especially those from the lower four sects, who had undisguised sarcasm on their faces.
My lungs were about to explode with anger.
The rest of the Haotian Sect disciples also had red eyes and were gasping for breath.
When did their Haotian Sect also start to be looked down upon? "Why, you are not convinced? If you are not convinced, you can challenge me, either alone or in a group. Otherwise, some people will blame me for bullying the younger generation."
Dugu Bo's words were so infuriating that they would kill people.
In fact, his own age is about the same as these Haotian Sect elders. Even if he is older, he is not much older. Some of them are even younger.
But this world has never been one that ranks people based on their seniority, but rather on their strength.
Dugu Bo is not only a powerful titled Dou Luo, but also has the power to annihilate the Haotian Sect. This is his confidence.
Finally, the people of Haotian Sect were frightened. Having lost Tang Chen, and now even their leader was unconscious, they no longer had the capital to act recklessly.
And at the moment they admitted their mistake, Dugu Bo's mocking laughter could be heard from behind, "Hahaha, the Haotian Sect is no more than this."
Having said that, Dugu Bo walked down the competition stage with the attitude of a victor, amidst the hatred of the Haotian Sect members and the cheers and admiring gazes of the spectators.
"Second Elder, we..." Tang Xiao looked at Dugu Bo's "successful villain" and almost gnashed his teeth. He looked at Tang Bai unwillingly. The rest of the people were similar.
"Let's go. It's important to save the clan leader."
Finally, he looked at Dugu Bo with resentment. Tang Bai felt helpless and aggrieved. He led the people of Haotian Sect, protected the unconscious Tang Wei, and walked down the competition stage.
Like a drowned dog that has just been beaten.
At this time, the somewhat sharp voice from Juhuaguan sounded again, "The next match is between the Soul Master Guild and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect."
This is what the sect competition is like. In essence, it is a means for the Spirit Hall to weaken the major sects. It does not give people time to recover and rest. After each battle, the victorious party will fight the next party.
Some people may think that in this case, the one who fights later has an advantage over the one who fights first, but this is not the case.
Because this sect competition is based on a points system.
If the two of you have the same points, then even if you have defeated him before, you two will have to fight again. This is also the reason why the older generation of soul masters die one after another in every sect competition.
There is no other way. If you don't fight hard, there will be others who will fight for you.
After all, the ranking in the sect competition is related to how much benefit one can gain in the soul master world in the future.
This is a conspiracy.
Of course, this is not absolute.
In the past, in order to counter the huge monster of Spirit Hall, the three major sects were united for a period of time.
At that time, the battle basically stopped at a certain point.
Until the dark horse Tang Chen appeared, it was as the saying goes, he was afraid that his brothers would suffer, and also afraid that his brothers would drive a Land Rover.
After the balance is broken.
The three previous sects are basically in name only.
In addition, after the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect assassinated Yu Xinglong, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect and the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect had a dirty relationship. There was no such thing as a common cause.
Now that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect has been destroyed by Lin Hanye, and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and the Haotian Sect both have grudges against the Soul Master Guild, it is impossible for these three new sects to have the so-called common roots from the very beginning.
"Uncle Jian, in my opinion, Lin Hanye thinks of his status and strength, so he won't take action. The next battle is left to you. But safety comes first. The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect cannot afford to lose you again."
Ning Fengzhi glanced at Lin Hanye and said something sad to Jian Dou Luo.
Jian Dou nodded, "I know. It's a pity that I will never be able to fight Tang Wei again in this lifetime."
As he said this, he stepped onto the fighting stage.
"Yin, I leave this battle to you."
Lin Hanye was still very confident about Ah Yin's strength. After all, he had a hundred thousand year old soul bone, which was no joke.
Moreover, she has refined the Black Jade Divine Bamboo. Even if Jian Dou Luo's soul power is one or two soul power levels higher than Yin, he cannot defeat her.
"Leave it to me."
A Yin appeared on the fighting stage in a flash, standing a hundred meters away from Jian Dou Luo.
As soon as she appeared on the fighting stage, the ground that was previously corroded by Dugu Bo's poison began to sprout groups of blue silver grass, which soon spread to Jiandou Luo's feet.
"Please give me some advice." Ayin bowed to Jiandou Luo.
"Please." Jian Dou Luo returned the greeting, and neither side said any nonsense.
A giant dark blue vine, two or three feet thick and a hundred meters long, quickly grew out from under Yin's feet and lifted her up into the air.
What's strange is that the surface of the vines also emits a faint golden pattern.
"She has cultivated the Blue Silver Grass to this extent. She is indeed worthy of being the Ice Emperor's wife."
Jian Dou Luo thought that A Yin's Blue Silver Emperor was cultivated from ordinary blue silver grass, just like Lin Hanye cultivated ice from ice water. He did not dare to be careless and immediately raised his sword into the sky.
The sixth soul ring on his body lit up, and he swung his sword finger. In an instant, thousands of sword shadows covered Ah Yin like a rainstorm.
Ah Yin clasped her index fingers together and crossed her hands. A blue light emerged from between her fingers. Her soul ring did not light up, but several giant blue-silver vines swirled out. The shadow of Jian Dou Luo's sword fell on the dark blue vines, just like scraping.
In a moment, those giant blue-silver vines were close to Chen Xin.
"What a tough vine."
Sword Fighter Luo did not stupidly resist these vines. Ever since he witnessed the battle between Lin Hanye and Tang Chen, his new world had opened up. He dodged the attack of the vines with a flash of his body, and sent a flying sword towards Yin, then moved closer to her.
Attempting to engage in close combat with Gin.
Yin naturally knew this, after all, the turn-based system was already outdated.
He immediately controlled the vines under his feet to move, avoiding Jian Dou Luo's flying sword. At the same time, he waved his hand, and more giant vines swept towards Jian Dou Luo.
After seeing how strong these vines were, Sword Fighter didn't dare to approach them rashly. He used his sword to escape in the air to avoid the vines and occasionally launched a counterattack against Gin.
Finally, when he realized that there were too many vines and he could not avoid them, he decisively activated his martial soul. The seventh soul ring on his body lit up, and a phantom that was a hundred meters tall and looked like Chen Xin appeared. It was holding the giant Seven Killing Sword and chopped off the giant vines swirling around.
After a burst of energy, the vines shattered. At this time, Ayin had also activated his martial spirit. The huge Ayin phantom, which was also a hundred meters tall, holding the Blue Silver Overlord Spear, suddenly attacked Jian Dou Luo.
Sword Fighter Rodon felt a great threat and controlled the Seven Killers' true bodies in succession, slashing out the word "Kill" five times.
After the Blue Silver Overlord Spear pierced through three "Kill" characters in a row, it collided with the fourth and fifth "Kill" characters, and was barely offset.
"What a powerful single-target attack skill. Is this really a skill from a ten thousand year soul skill?"
The power of Ayin's Blue Silver Overlord Spear was so great that Jian Dou Luo couldn't help but doubt his life, but he didn't have time to think about it because Ayin was already holding the Blue Silver Overlord Spear and approached him.
Sword Fighter subconsciously blocked it, and the Blue Silver Overlord Spear and the Seven Killing Sword rubbed against each other, producing violent sparks.
After a close encounter.
The two distanced themselves again.
"Haha, what a great Blue Silver Fighter! Great! Take another one from me - the eighth soul skill, Seven Kills, Thunder Rising, a sword breaks the sky!"
Sword Fighter felt his blood boiling. With one move, his huge 100-meter-long sword, along with dozens of small swords, slashed straight at Gin.
"Left Leg Soul Bone Skill: Demonic Killer Whale Axe!"
Ah Yin exerted force with his left leg, and with one kick, a red crescent-shaped sword as thin as a cicada's wing collided with the hundred-meter-long sword and many small swords, actually bouncing all the small swords away, and then canceling out the hundred-meter-long sword.
"Another powerful attack. Could it be a hundred thousand year old soul bone?"
Jian Dou Luo's expression became more and more solemn. In fact, A Yin's attack was a little too strong. Even though he had two soul powers higher than the opponent, the opponent actually used the soul bone skill and easily blocked his eighth soul skill.
"Right arm soul bone skill: Azure Blunt Divine Claw!"
An even more shocking scene occurred when Yin formed his right hand into a claw and stretched out his claw, and a huge transparent azure bull python locked onto Jian Dou Luo.
Sword Fighter swung the Seven Killers' True Body to block, but was surprised to find that physical defense was ineffective.
The next moment, the whole person was covered by the huge bull-head phantom.
A Yin gathered the thunder in his right hand and shot a huge and powerful thunder ball at him.
This is the second skill of the right arm soul bone, Azure Silent Thunder. The power of the thunder ball is obviously not comparable to the previous attack.
Jian Dou Luo, sensing the power of this move, wanted to use his ninth soul skill, Divine and Demonic Chopping, but he found that after being covered by the Bull Head Shadow Cage, his six senses and physical movement abilities were suddenly slowed down. He had no time to use it.
He couldn't even raise his sword to block.
He could only watch the thunder ball getting bigger and bigger in his eyes.
"Uncle Jian!"
When Ning Fengzhi saw this scene, all the memories of his past with Jian Dou Luo flashed through his mind, and he tried to run towards the arena. However, because he had a prosthetic leg for his broken leg, he fell to the ground with a thud after just a few steps, looking at Jian Dou Luo in despair.
"It's unstoppable."
Jian Dou Luo took one last look at Ning Fengzhi, a look of relief on his face.
At this moment, time seemed to stand still between the two of them.
A revolving lantern kept flashing through Jian Dou Luo's mind. He felt that death was closer than ever before.
Seeing this scene, Lin Hanye sighed and shook his head. If Jian Dou Luo was killed here, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect would be completely controlled by the Soul Master Guild in the future.
After all, Ning Fengzhi, who has no offensive power, is too easy to control.
With Yu Luomian as a chess piece, he could easily let the other party help him get rid of Ning Fengzhi, support a new leader, and then "use the emperor to command the princes."
But this would be a loss-making thing.
After all, Sword Fighter has a good reputation in the world of soul masters, and killing people at will during the sect competition will still have a huge impact.
This was not conducive to his gathering of faith.
"That's fine. Chen Xin can't possibly pose a threat to me anyway. And it's not appropriate to kill people in a sect competition. Before he becomes my real enemy, let him live."
In the end, Lin Hanye decided not to kill Jian Dou Luo for the time being.
After all, he still admired Sword Fighter very much.
Just when the thunder ball was about to fall on Jian Dou Luo, he appeared in front of Jian Dou Luo in a flash. With a wave of his hand, the thunder ball that was enough to kill a powerful Titled Dou Luo disappeared in an instant.
This scene caught many people by surprise, and they were all confused by Lin Hanye's behavior.
Logically speaking, it would be more beneficial to the Soul Master Guild if Jian Dou Luo died or became useless like Tang Wei.
"Ah Yin, we are just sparring, there is no need to be so harsh."
Lin Hanye ignored everyone and just smiled and said to A Yin.
"Yeah." Yin also knew that Lin Hanye had always admired Sword Fighter, so he nodded slightly to show his understanding.
"Jian Dou Luo, I'm sorry to embarrass you." Lin Hanye turned around and looked at Jian Dou Luo.
Sword Fighter then reacted, "It doesn't matter, I lost."
The escape from death just now gave him some understanding of the ninety-sixth level. Perhaps after returning, he would be able to break through in a few years.
Thinking of this, he looked at Lin Hanye again with a hint of gratitude in his eyes, and thought to himself, it seems that Feng Zhi has misunderstood President Lin.
Jian Dou Luo's surrender marked the end of this sect competition, because the Haotian Sect could no longer send anyone to challenge the Qibao Liuli Sect, which had the title Dou Luo.
Not only did she fail to maintain her position as the number one sect in the world, she even lost her position as the number two sect in the world and became a mistress.
"Is this the power of a hundred thousand year soul bone?"
Qianxunji watched the fight between Gin and Kentoro.
The look he gave Yin, or to be more precise, the look he gave Yin's right arm, flashed across his eyes an imperceptible glimmer of greed.
It has to be said that compared to Tang Wei's half-baked explosive ring that he could easily dodge, Yin and Jian Dou Luo's strength is obviously much stronger.
Especially Ayin, the power of that hundred thousand year soul bone was so envious that he almost drooled.
He also has soul bones, and they are angel set soul bones, but before the set is completed, their lifespan is only 99,999 years. After all, they are not true 100,000-year soul bones.
If A Yin had not come from the Soul Master Guild, if A Yin had not been a powerful Titled Fighter, if A Yin had not been Lin Hanye's wife, I'm afraid he would have already had the intention of killing people and stealing treasures.
"No, in the future, I have to find a way to get myself a 100,000-year soul bone."
Obviously, the strength of the Soul Master Guild made Qian Xunji feel urgent and jealous. Lin Hanye was the only one left. Even Old Poison was not much weaker than him, and Lan Yin Dou Luo was obviously better than him.
As the Pope of Spirit Hall, he must not fall behind others.
At this time, Juhuaguan's somewhat sharp voice resounded throughout the venue again. He said symbolically: "In the next round, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect will play against the Haotian Sect. Does the Haotian Sect have anyone to accept the challenge?"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the Haotian Sect looked at each other. Now that the Sect Master was unconscious, if they were to go up against the Sword Fighting Luo, they, the Soul Fighting Luo, would only bring humiliation upon themselves. They couldn't just rush in all at once.
Finally, in desperation, Haotian Sect's second elder Tang Bai chose to admit defeat, "Haotian Sect admits defeat."
The surrender of the Haotian Sect did not cause much of a stir. After all, in the eyes of many people, without the fighting power of the Titled Dou Luo, the strength of the Haotian Sect was about the same as the lower four sects. Even if it was strong, it was not that strong. At most, it had an advantage in the number of Soul Dou Luo and soul masters.
Jian Dou Luo felt a little regretful when he saw Haotian Sect admit defeat. He felt that he could not fight with Tang Wei today and that his victory was unfair. He immediately bowed to Lin Hanye and returned to Ning Fengzhi.
Lin Hanye and A Yin also returned to the rest area where the VIP seats were located.
At this time, Ning Fengzhi, who was sitting below the VIP seats, had already stood up, but her eyes were red.
Seeing this, Jian Dou Luo's heart suddenly warmed up. He stepped forward to help him up and said comfortingly: "Master, I'm sorry to have worried you."
"It doesn't matter. As long as Uncle Jian is okay, it's fine." Ning Fengzhi breathed a sigh of relief. Although she didn't understand why Lin Hanye took action at the last moment, as long as Jian Dou Luo was alive, it was fine.
Otherwise, he didn't even dare to imagine what the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect would become in the future.
"Sect Master, I still think you shouldn't doubt President Lin. I investigated the scene where the old sect master and Old Bone died. There were traces left by powerful spirit beasts. Maybe they really died in an accident like Yu Xinglong and Lin Xiaotian."
Jian Dou Luo hesitated for a moment, but still spoke.
After hearing this, what else could Ning Fengzhi say? His father and Uncle Gu really did die at the hands of Lin Hanye, and his father and Uncle Gu really did kill Lin Hanye's father. The two sides had been fighting to the death for a long time.
Even if he is willing to let go of this grudge, he is afraid that the other party may not be willing to let go, so he must take precautions before it happens.
However, Jian Dou Luo's words reminded him that the other party obviously had no hostility towards Lin Hanye because Lin Hanye had just saved him. So, it would be better for him to continue to guard the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect in the future.
As for secretly contacting the Haotian Sect and the Xingluo Royal Family to fight against the Spirit Hall and the Soul Master Guild, it would be better to leave it to Yu Luomian.
At this time, the voice of Pope Qianxunji came, "Congratulations to the Soul Master Guild for winning the final victory in the sect competition."
Standing up slowly, Qianxunji announced calmly, "The sect competition is over. The final rankings are, in order, the Soul Master Guild, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, the Haotian Sect, the Wind Sword Sect, the Black Tiger Sect, the Fire Leopard Sect, and the Rock Antelope Sect."
"The Soul Master Guild, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, and the Haotian Sect have been awarded the title of the top three sects. Congratulations to the Soul Master Guild for becoming the number one sect in the world."
"In addition, according to the discussion between me and several Titled Dou Luo elders, including Kiku Dou Luo and Gui Dou Luo, President Lin's Ice Martial Soul is designated as the world's number one elemental martial soul, Blue Silver Dou Luo's Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul is designated as the world's number one plant martial soul, Clear Sky Hammer and Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus are no longer the world's number one, the world's number one weapon martial soul belongs to Sword Dou Luo's Seven Killing Swords, and the world's number one beast martial soul belongs to Poison Dou Luo's Green Phosphorus Snake King."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
Lin Hanye's strength is unrivaled in the Dou Luo Continent, and his martial spirit of ice is well-deserved to be the best in the world.
Everyone has just seen how powerful the Blue Silver Emperor is, and it can indeed be called the number one plant martial spirit in the world.
At least, except for Ju Dou Luo of the Spirit Hall who was not included in the ranking, no plant spirit owner has cultivated to the Title Dou Luo realm.
As for the world's number one beast spirit, there is no big doubt. After all, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus has been destroyed, and even if Yu Yuanzhen is still alive, it is unlikely that he is the opponent of Du Dou Luo who defeated Tang Wei, the leader of Haotian Sect.
But the best weapon spirit in the world is the Seven Killing Sword, but many people don't understand it.
After all, the Haotian Hammer, once the world's number one martial spirit, is still deeply rooted in people's hearts.
Moreover, Tang Chen had only left the Haotian Sect, but he was not necessarily dead. It was somewhat arbitrary to deprive the Haotian Hammer of the title of the world's number one weapon spirit.
"This is the result we got from this sect competition. If anyone is dissatisfied, you can go and challenge us."
Qianxunji wanted this effect. What he feared most was the combination of the three sects. After depriving the world's number one weapon spirit of the Clear Sky Hammer and the world's number one beast spirit of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, the Clear Sky Sect would definitely hate the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. Yu Luomian would also hate the Soul Master Guild even more when he was in the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
In addition, the Haotian Sect and the Soul Master Guild have always been at odds, and it is impossible for them to unite and fight against their Wuhun Hall in this lifetime.
Didn't you see the way the people of Haotian Sect looked at Jian Dou Luo? They all glared at him angrily. They all felt that the other party was taking advantage of the situation and snatching away the honor that should have belonged to their Haotian Sect.
On the contrary, he was somewhat surprised by Yu Luomian, as he did not have much reaction to being stripped of his number one beast spirit.
But Qianxunji didn't think much about it.
After all, the Jade Luo Crown is just eight soul rings.
He doesn't even take it seriously.
Qianxunji continued, "Congratulations to President Lin for becoming the world's number one Titled Dou Luo, congratulations to Blue Silver Dou Luo for becoming the world's number one Control-type Titled Dou Luo. Congratulations to Poison Dou Luo for becoming the world's number one Weird-type Titled Dou Luo. Congratulations to Sword Dou Luo for becoming the world's number one Offensive-type Titled Dou Luo, congratulations to Sect Master Tang for becoming the world's number one Strength-type Titled Dou Luo, congratulations to Hu Yanzhen for becoming the world's number one Defense-type Soul Master, and congratulations to Sect Master Ning for becoming the world's number one Support-type Soul Master."
Qianxunji said this and waved his hand. A cardinal came over with a tray, on which lay three tokens.
There are eight patterns on each token, namely a chrysanthemum, an incomplete human figure, a crown, an ice dragon head (see the cover for details), a sword, a hammer, a blue silver grass, and a snake.
Long before Tang Wei was defeated, Qianxunji had already ordered people to engrave the remaining three martial spirits of Ice, Seven Killing Swords, and Hammer on it.
Later, seeing how powerful Dugu Bo and A Yin were, he added two more.
After all, they defeated the Haotian Sect and the Qibao Liuli Sect respectively. It would be unreasonable if the Pope's order included the Haotian Hammer and the Seven Killing Swords but not them.
