Douluo: I have too many clones

Chapter 738: The New Four Spiritual Envoys of the Spiritual Pagoda

In the central part of Douluo Continent, in the conference room hall at the top of the Spirit Transferring Tower headquarters.

The crystal chandelier reflected a cold halo, illuminating the parliament members with different expressions on both sides of the long table.

"Xu Shengqun, one of the four great Spirit Envoys, has chosen to retire behind the scenes because he feels that he is too old. As a result, the position of Spirit Envoy has become vacant."

Qiangu Dongfeng sat in the tower master's seat and talked to the people below.

Although he had been severely injured by Yun Ming, Qiangu Dongfeng was an Ultimate Douluo after all. In addition, the Spiritual Transmission Tower was a wealthy and powerful company, so after using certain connections, he quickly invited a healing Titled Douluo from within the Federation to treat him.

Coupled with the various healing treasures that were thrown at him like crazy, Qiangu Dongfeng's injuries were mostly healed very quickly. Although he still had some hidden injuries that needed nursing, it was still no problem for him to attend a meeting.

At this moment, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and when he swept across the people below, the remaining hidden injuries did not reduce his deterrent power.

"In the recent promotion plan of artificial ten thousand year souls, the candidate for spiritual transmission Qiangu Zhangting performed particularly well."

Qiangu Dongfeng tapped the table with his fingertips, and his voice echoed in the empty hall. "He has reached the Super Douluo realm at a young age, and is truly the leader of the younger generation of our Spirit Pagoda. Therefore, I propose to appoint him as the new one of the Four Great Spirit Envoys. Now let's vote."

"Seconded."

The members of the Qiangu faction all stood up and spoke in unison.

"Seconded."

The neutral members hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not dare to go against the Tower Master's wishes, and they also expressed their agreement one after another.

"Abstain."

Only a few councillors who had different interests from Qiangu Dongfeng chose to abstain from voting. They lowered their eyes and stared at the gilded teacup in front of them, hiding their dissatisfaction in silence.

Today's parliament meeting was initiated by Qiangu Dongfeng. Everyone thought he would bring up some topic, but they didn't expect it to turn out like this.

Propaganda work for artificial ten thousand year old souls?

Which candidate for Spirit Messenger has not contributed in this regard? Although Qiangu Zhangting has also made some contributions, he relies more on the huge power of the Qiangu Family behind him, so he can suppress others.

The reason behind this was clear to everyone present.

"I agree."

The voice of Tiansheng Douluo Xu Shengqun came from the front of the seat. This level 97 strong man had a warm smile on his face.

As a core member of the Qiangu faction, his interests are deeply tied to the Qiangu family, and he has already reached a consensus with Qiangu Dongfeng: after stepping down as the Spirit Messenger, he will become one of the thirty-six members of the parliament.

This is the usual arrangement of the Spirit Pagoda for powerful and meritorious people - the four Spirit Messengers are the pinnacle of the power pyramid in the tower. Even if they step down, they will definitely continue to influence the decision-making in the tower as councilors, just like many retired Spirit Messengers in the past.

His consent undoubtedly added important weight to Qiangu Zhangting's promotion.

Seeing that the parties involved and the core faction had no objection, the remaining councillors had no reason to object. Qiangu Dongfeng nodded with satisfaction and raised his hand to the shadow beside him: "Zhangting, come forward and greet your colleagues."

"Yes." A figure in white stepped out in response. It was Qiangu Zhangting.

He walked with the vigor of a young man, his snow-white robe was embroidered with the unique soul patterns of the Spirit Pagoda, and the purple-gold token hanging around his waist glowed coldly under the light.

"Hello, seniors. I am Qiangu Zhangting, a junior. I will serve as one of the four great spirit messengers of the Spirit Pagoda from now on. I hope you can give me your guidance." His voice was clear, his chest was straight, and his brows were full of high spirits.

All the parliamentarians present were familiar with the eldest grandson of this ancient family.

Although he knew that his rise to power was inseparable from the support of his family, Super Douluo's strength and his "outstanding performance" in publicity work ultimately made him impeccable in terms of procedures.

The four great spirit messengers are the benchmarks that demonstrate the youth and strength of the Spirit Pagoda. Qiangu Zhangting's promotion is, to some extent, also the tower master's deliberate cultivation of the new generation of power.

Polite responses immediately came from both sides of the long table. Qiangu Zhangting nodded in return with a smile. When his eyes swept across the exclusive seats of the four great spirit messengers, he suddenly paused.

The second person on the left was a girl in black. She looked to be no more than 20 years old, but her figure was well developed and curvy, like the most perfect masterpiece of the Creator.

Her cold and arrogant temperament spreads like frost and snow, making people dare not approach her easily. Her fair skin looks even more translucent against the black clothes, like the finest white jade.

Her black hair cascaded down her shoulders, rising and falling with her gentle breathing. Her delicate face was like a sculpture of ice and jade, and every line exuded a breathtaking beauty that was unforgettable at first sight.

"Could this be Forsi, who is praised as one of the two most stunning beauties in the Spirit Pagoda together with Nana? She is indeed worthy of her reputation." Qiangu Zhangting's heart moved, and he quickly guessed the other party's identity.

After coming out of retreat, he put all his attention on Gu Yuena, and later went to Tianhai City to pursue her. But he still knew the information in the Spirit Pagoda.

Fors Wall, one of the four great spiritual messengers, was a disciple of his great-grandfather Qiangu Qingfeng and was very much loved by the other party.

What impressed him even more was that the other party and Gu Yuena were known as the "Two Beauties of the Spirit Pagoda". Before this, he had been wholeheartedly pursuing Gu Yuena and did not take this reputation seriously.

Today, when I met her in person, I was surprised to find that this woman's beauty was different from Gu Yuena's cold and holy beauty. Instead, she had a lazy charm, like a black rose with thorns, dangerous yet alluring.

“I heard that this Spirit Messenger seems to have married.” Thinking of this, Qiangu Zhangting suppressed the surprise in his heart and gave a formal smile in the direction of Fors, trying to show friendliness.

However, all he got in response was the other person's indifference without even raising his eyelids, as if saying: Who are you and what does it have to do with me?

Qiangu Zhangting's face froze, but fortunately he didn't care. His gaze quickly turned to the silver-haired and purple-eyed figure sitting next to him.

Gu Yuena sat upright like a pine tree, her cold face looked like a sculpture of ice and snow under the light, her temperament noble and mysterious. Even if she just nodded slightly, Qiangu Zhangting's heart was lifted, as if he had received a great gift.

He straightened his chest and smiled more openly, as if to show his achievements to the goddess in his heart - now he is one of the four great spiritual messengers who can stand shoulder to shoulder with her.

Qiangu Dongfeng looked at his grandson's high-spirited appearance, and a hint of imperceptible satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

"Then, let's move on to the next proposal." "Wait!" Qiangu Qingfeng, who was sitting in the parliamentary seat, suddenly said, "Tower Master, I also have a proposal to make."

Qiangu Dongfeng, who was sitting in the main seat, paused for a moment, and when he saw that it was his brother who spoke, he stopped urging him and raised his hand to signal the other party to speak.

Qiangu Qingfeng nodded slightly and said, "The Four Great Spirit Envoys are one of the faces of our Spirit Envoy Pagoda. Currently, three of them are Fors, Gu Yuena, and Qiangu Zhangting. All three of them are leaders of the younger generation."

"Compared to them, the remaining Spirit Master is already over a hundred years old, so it's inevitable that his aura is a little out of place. It just so happens that I have a candidate here who is also from the younger generation, and his strength has reached the level of Super Douluo."

"So I would like to propose that he be appointed as the new Spirit Messenger."

Hearing this, Qiangu Dongfeng was somewhat surprised and asked, "Who is the person that Councillor Qingfeng is talking about?"

As the helmsman of the Spirit Pagoda, he knew the younger generation of the Spirit Pagoda very well. Apart from Fors and Gu Yuena, who he could not quite figure out, was there anyone else who could reach the level of Super Douluo like Qiangu Zhangting?

Qiangu Qingfeng had a deep and meaningful smile on his face, and he turned sideways and waved his sleeves: "Xu Kun, why don't you come forward and greet everyone?"

"Yes."

As a hearty voice sounded, a handsome young man with a middle-parted hair, wearing black and white overalls and silver-gray trousers, walked out.

"Junior Cai Xukun greets the Tower Master and all the councillors."

Cai Xukun showed a refreshing smile on his face and bowed to Qiangu Dongfeng, with the aura of a Super Douluo exuding from him without concealing it.

"It turned out to be him!"

When Qiangu Dongfeng saw the person coming, a hint of understanding showed on his face. He knew a lot about Cai Xukun. After all, the other party had Qiangu Bubai as his master.

But after that, the other party joined the Blood God Legion, so he paid less attention to him.

"Level 98 Super Douluo!"

Sensing the overwhelming fluctuation of soul power, Qiangu Dongfeng's heart was suddenly shocked. He looked closely and saw that the young man in front of him still had a childish look between his eyebrows. If we talk about his age, he is probably less than 30 years old?

At such a young age, he has already reached the 98th level. Looking at the entire Douluo Continent, there are very few such people in the past hundred years. Once he consolidates his cultivation, it will only be a matter of time before he breaks through the realm of Ultimate Douluo.

Qiangu Qingfeng smiled slightly and said, "As you can see, Xu Kun is already 27 years old this year, but his cultivation has reached level 98. This strength is definitely enough to be qualified for the position of Spirit Transmitter."

In the middle of the seat, the white-haired and silver-bearded White Dragon Douluo stroked his beard and smiled. As the one with the lowest cultivation level among the four great Spirit Transmission Envoys (level 95), he did not show any resentment at this moment, but was relieved instead: "Spirit Transmission Tower has produced such a genius, it is time for me to give way to him."

After saying that, he stood up and bowed to Qiangu Dongfeng, his voice as loud as a bell, "Tower Master, I am old and it is not appropriate for me to occupy the position of Spirit Envoy any longer. I beg to resign."

Qiangu Dongfeng said quickly: "White Dragon Douluo has made great contributions. We in the Spirit Pagoda will not treat a hero like you unfairly. Later, I will..."

Bai Long Douluo smiled and waved his hand, saying, "No need. Councillor Qingfeng has already told me about this matter. After I step down, I will serve as a councillor and secretly escort the Spirit Pagoda."

Looking at the tacit understanding between his brother and Bailong Douluo, Qiangu Dongfeng already understood in his heart that this was probably a long-planned personnel change.

But he didn't say much. After all, this matter itself was beneficial to the Spirit Pagoda.

"In this case," Qiangu Dongfeng sat up straight, speaking in a deep voice, "Let's decide this matter today: Do you agree that Cai Xukun will take over as one of the four great spiritual messengers?"

"Seconded."

"Seconded."

The voices of voting came one after another, and within a moment, the dust settled. No one mentioned Cai Xukun's lack of experience and insufficient contribution - in the face of absolute strength and talent, these became insignificant details.

Everyone knows that rejecting a future Ultimate Douluo is tantamount to cutting off one's own arm. In this world, the strong are always respected. Cai Xukun's label of "27 years old and 98th level" is enough to shock people.

In the shadows, Qiangu Zhangting clenched his fists. He was just over thirty and had just entered the Super Douluo realm. Standing next to Cai Xukun, he looked a little gloomy.

As both are leaders of the younger generation, the gap in potential between them was laid bare today.

As the decision of Cai Xukun being appointed as one of the four great Spirit Transmission Envoys was finalized, Qiangu Dongfeng slowly raised his hand on the main seat, and his deep voice echoed in the hall: "Now that the matter of the four great Spirit Transmission Envoys has been finalized, we will choose a day to announce the news to the world, so that everyone in the world will know the power of the Spirit Transmission Tower."

When everyone in the hall nodded, he suddenly changed the subject, his eyes passed through the seated soul masters and went straight to the figure in the silver skirt: "However, I still have something to announce, or rather, I need to seek the opinion of one person."

Gu Yuena was slightly startled by the gaze. The hem of her moon-white skirt trembled as she stood up. Her eyes were clear and filled with doubt: "Could it be that what the tower master is referring to is related to me?"

"That's right." Qiangu Dongfeng smiled, but his tone was serious and could not be ignored. "Na'er, you have reached the age of marriage. I intend to hold a martial arts competition for you to choose a husband of your dreams."

"A martial arts competition to win a hand in marriage?" Gu Yuena frowned slightly and subconsciously wanted to refuse.

"Don't be so hasty to refuse." Qiangu Dongfeng seemed to have anticipated her reaction and raised his hand to signal her to calm down. "This matter may seem to be about personal feelings, but it is actually a crucial layout for the Spirit Transmission Tower right now."

He paused, and continued, "You must be aware that the Spirit Pagoda has been in constant turmoil recently. Although the Tang Sect's previous offensive has been temporarily suspended, it has set up many obstacles for us in terms of public opinion. The public's doubts about the actions of the pagoda have been raised one after another. If this continues, it will definitely damage the foundation."

"The primary purpose of holding this marriage-seeking conference is not to find a husband for you, but to use this event to divert public attention and reshape the image of the Spirit Pagoda in the hearts of the people. Please listen to me in detail-"

"First, by creating a topic through a martial arts competition to recruit a bride, we can divert the public's attention from past controversies to the event itself. When the eyes of the entire continent are focused on the arena, the negative public opinion will naturally be diluted."

"Secondly, such a grand event can inspire the cultivation enthusiasm of young soul masters. Anyone who is qualified to participate in the competition must be a young talent from various forces. They practice hard to win the championship, which invisibly demonstrates the appeal of the Spirit Transferring Tower to the soul master world."

Qiangu Dongfeng said earnestly: "Look at the previous experience of the Xingluo Empire - Tang Wulin, the leader of the Tang Sect, was just participating in a 'show' of the Five Gods Showdown, and used it to win the hearts of the people, putting us in a passive position for a time.

"If the Spirit Pagoda wants to consolidate its position in the new era, it must also introduce young role models who can lead the trend. And you, with your identity as a Spirit Preacher, your stunning appearance, and your outstanding strength, are the most suitable candidate."
