Chapter 1205: Everyone’s Here

Sima Jinchi had resigned himself to be at Tang Wulin’s side at all times.

Sima Jinchi and A Ruheng were both greatly startled upon arriving at the underground world of the Tang Sect.

“The Tang Sect owns such a place? It’s right under Heaven Dou City! The government has no inkling of this at all. It’s simply unbelievable. If the Tang Sect wishes to destroy a city, I’m afraid it’s going to be even easier than destroying Shrek City, right?” A Ruheng was truly shocked by the underground world of the Tang Sect.

Tang Wulin spoke in a deep voice, “Senior brother disciple Sima, the underground world of the Tang Sect must be kept a secret. You are not to tell even if it’s our brothers from the Blood God Army. This is the Tang Sect’s biggest secret. Oh, there’s something else I forgot to mention. The Amorous Douluo and Blood One have already handed over the post of Tang Sect’s Sect Master to me.”

Sima Jinchi and A Ruheng looked at one another in shock. They were well aware of its significance.

They knew Tang Sect’s status as it is one of the four great pillars of the Blood God Army. Compared to the Spirit Pagoda, the Tang Sect kept a low profile. For thousands of years, its main business was focused on developing and making soul devices for sustenance.

The Tang Sect had an even longer history than the Spirit Pagoda. Moreover, the Tang Sect had a close relationship with Shrek Academy.

However, the low-profile Tang Sect remained modest. Thus, no one knew how many inner secrets the Tang Sect actually had.

When the Tang Sect headquarters was bombed, many people thought that the Tang Sect was done for. In the aftermath, the Tang Sect’s businesses shrunk so much so they were no longer conspicuous.

Who would have thought that the Tang Sect had such an underground world?

One should not underestimate the capabilities of these veteran sects! The profundity of its inner secrets was beyond belief.

They were all aware of Tang Wulin’s purpose in returning to Heaven Dou City. It was precisely for the revival of Shrek Academy in the near future. However, they were conscious of the difficulty of reviving Shrek.

Nevertheless, after witnessing the Tang Sect’s inner secrets which were unfathomable and discovering that Tang Wulin was already its Sect Master, they felt confident enough that it may indeed be possible.

Tang Wulin used his soul communicator to inform his comrades to wait for him at the gymnasium. He brought A Ruheng and Sima Jinchi straight to the gymnasium. For everyone’s safety, he invited the Light Dark Douluo and the Holy Spirit Douluo to be the judges as well as to supervise the competition.

After all, it would be difficult for them to control themselves during the competition at their current level. They might accidentally cause harm to others in the midst of the competition.

By the time they arrived at the gymnasium, the Holy Spirit Douluo was already sitting on a chair with her eyes closed as if she was meditating. She remained as beautiful as ever, but each time he saw her, Tang Wulin was saddened because he could not sense any vitality from the Holy Spirit Douluo. Her whole person was dull and lifeless.

Elder Long was present as well. She was talking with Xu Lizhi. Xu Lizhi’s face was beaming till his chubby cheeks were trembling slightly.

After the Sea God’s Lake Date Festival, Long Yeyue formally accepted Xu Lizhi as her disciple and guided him in his cultivation. It was not long before the great catastrophe occurred when Xu Lizhi came back from Demon Island. In reality, he had not spent much time learning from Elder Long, so Xu Lizhi was ecstatic upon meeting his teacher.

Sima Jinchi had just walked into the competition arena when he suddenly sensed something. He shifted his gaze in another direction.

On the other side, a young maiden sat cross-legged. Her eyes were set upon him.

Their eyes met one another. Sima Jinchi’s spirit sensed a pricking sensation. At the same time, he recognized the maiden.

Was that not the troublesome maiden who pointed a sword at him in the Federal Star Dou Battle Network Challenge?

Was she one of the Shrek Seven Monsters too?

He was rather relaxed initially just like A Ruheng, but now he was vigilant after seeing Ye Xinglan.

Although he was already a Title Douluo, they were not allowed to wear battle armors in today’s sparring session.

On the other hand, the girl had realized the profound meaning of Swordsoul during the battle with him earlier. She would certainly be more powerful by now having cultivated all this while. It would not be an easy task to deal with her.

If the rest of the Shrek Seven Monsters were at her level, then today’s battle of three against six would not be won easily!

Upon seeing their arrival, Yue Zhengyu, Yuanen Yehui, Ye Xinglan, Xu Xiaoyan, and Xie Xie walked over toward them. Xu Lizhi joined in after finishing his conversation with Elder Long.

Xie Xie came forward first. He could not refrain from speaking upon seeing the tall and burly A Ruheng, “Strength God, you’re truly huge. It feels more stressful to see you in person than in the Star Dou Battle Network.”

“Hehe.” A Ruheng chuckled while he raised his right arm to show off his bulging muscles.

Ye Xinglan’s gaze remained on Sima Jinchi. “We meet again. Please guide me later.”

Sima Jinchi spoke, “Little girl, it seems like your comprehension of Swordsoul is quite impressive. What a waste that the disparity between you and I can’t be remedied within a short period.”

Ye Xinglan did not speak further but closed her eyes. The sharp aura that she was unleashing earlier had vanished at this moment.

Sima Jinchi shifted his gaze. ‘That’s the Hidden Sword! How impressive. The little girl is truly extraordinary!’

“Everyone’s here, let’s begin.” Elder Long’s voice was heard.

At present, A Ruheng and Sima Jinchi had just taken notice of her. Their gazes fell upon Elder Long and their bodies shook mildly.

Elder Long appeared to be old and shaky much like any ordinary old woman. She had wrinkled skin and white hair. There was not the slightest hint of a shocking aura emitting from her body.

A Ruheng and Sima Jinchi were both Title Douluos, the Saber God Douluo Sima Jinchi and the Body Douluo A Ruheng. They were both considered among the few people whose standards were beyond their peers.

Although they could not see Elder Long’s aura with their eyes, there were traits on Elder Long’s body which made them feel like they should look up to her even from afar.

It was a form of telepathic reaction. They were terrified because Elder Long appeared so ordinary it seemed like she had never existed in the spiritual world. It was evident she gave a feeling far beyond their spiritual rank! They would not be wrong to identify it as the Spirit Domain’s spiritual power.

They certainly did not expect such an almighty presence in Shrek Academy nor the Tang Sect.

There was no need for Tang Wulin to introduce A Ruheng and Sima Jinchi for they had already taken the initiative to bow in salutation toward Elder Long. “It’s our pleasure to meet our senior.”

Long Yeyue answered, “Thank you. We shall talk more after the sparring session.”

Tang Wulin looked toward the group of people. Everyone on the scene was his good companion. The most important purpose of the sparring session was to familiarize themselves with each other so that they knew the extent of everyone’s cultivation base.

Actually, Tang Wulin had lost the battle to Yue Zhengyu earlier. He underestimated Yue Zhengyu’s improvement. He did not manage to display his true abilities at once such that Yue Zhengyu capitalized on his Holy Fusion Skill to break Tang Wulin’s blood soul fusion skill.

However, Tang Wulin would not make the same mistake twice. Although his expression appeared calm at present, his heart was burning with the desire to fight.

He was going to assess the extent of his comrades’ growth through this battle.

Both sides fell back into the distance with a large gap separating them.

The Light Dark Douluo Long Yeyue took a step forward and was by the side of the Holy Spirit Douluo. She waved her hand once to turn on the protective shield which covered the entire gymnasium. In addition, there was a layer of black and white radiance on the outer layer of the protective shield. It was the Elder Long’s light-dark power.
