Douluo Dalu: Seven Kills

Chapter 272 Discussion, Go to Mingdu Again
"Tomorrow, you will be heading to Mingdu. So go back and rest today to get your energy and spirit to the best possible state."

"Also, Xiaotian, Junting, you stay for a while."

Perhaps it was inconvenient for other contestants to participate in the next event, so Ning Bowen tactfully asked them to leave.

When everyone had dispersed and the door to the hall had closed, Ning Bowen spoke, smiling as he glanced at the two of them.

"I've kept you here because I want you to discuss something. You will be the captain and vice-captain of this tournament. Whoever chooses the captain will be the vice-captain."

The next second, two voices sounded almost at the same time.

"Let Xiaotian be the captain."

"Leave it to Brother Jun Ting."

After the words fell, Chen Junting and Ning Tian looked at each other, but from the look in their eyes, it could be seen that what the other party said and the choice they made were already within their expectations.

"Oh? Then tell us your reasons."

Ning Bowen was not in a hurry to comment on the two people's different opinions. Instead, he listened with interest.

"Then let me speak first."

Ning Tian bowed before Chen Junting and spoke first: "My cultivation level is only Soul Emperor, which only ranks third in the team. If I were to be the captain, although I could convince everyone in my own team, if people from other sects saw me, it might cause ridicule and affect the sect for nothing."

Ning Bowen nodded slightly, "That makes sense."

Four simple words, but without further comment, he turned his gaze towards Chen Junting, waiting for his reply.

However, Chen Junting did not give as many reasons as Ning Tian did, but simply said, "If the captain of this sect is not a person with the sect's martial spirit, it will be a disgrace."

The sect’s participation in the competition is not the same as that of the academy.

The inheritance of a sect is based on the sect's martial spirit.

If even the captain of the participating team is not the martial spirit of the sect, then the influence of the secret will really cause endless troubles. Perhaps strength is indeed the key, but the face of the sect is the most important.

What's more, what if my cultivation is not the highest?

From another perspective, as a captain with low cultivation, being able to subdue two Soul Saints is another kind of strength. Besides, isn't the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect founded on this?

As a defective auxiliary system, the sect's martial spirit lineage is not strong, but it relies on the martial spirit to attract strong people and earn money to become the richest sect in the world. Compared with the foundation of other sects, the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect is unique in the mainland.

Therefore, the position of captain does not necessarily depend mainly on cultivation.

"Well said."

Obviously, Ning Bowen was more satisfied with Chen Junting's answer.

It has nothing to do with anything else, it’s just because the foundation of the sect has been made clear.

It's like "political correctness".

So the final result is naturally without a doubt, Ning Tian will be the captain of the participating team and Chen Junting will be the vice-captain.

After confirming this matter, Ning Bowen let the two leave.

Before leaving, he explained one thing.

That is to let Chen Junting and others select one person from the direct disciples of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, that is, soul masters under the age of 20 who use the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda as their martial spirit, to fill the fourteen positions.

However, the moment Chen Junting and Ning Tiangang left the hall, the originally relaxed atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

Because not long ago, when Ye Xuanji went to Shrek Academy to pay tribute to Moon, Shrek Academy, the Body Sect, the Xingluo Empire, and the Tianhun Empire secretly found Ye Xuanji and wanted to discuss something with the Jiubao Liuli Sect. In addition to Shrek Academy, the leaders of the other three major forces also wrote a personal letter each, which was personally handed over by Ye Xuanji to the sect leader Ning Bowen.

What they discussed was naturally to join forces to kill Xu Tianran.

Except for the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect which had not responded yet, the other four forces had already reached a consensus and were ready to use this competition to strangle the Sun and Moon Prince Xu Tianran in the cradle.

Because in their view, the Sun and Moon Emperor was only a matter of time. Since Xu Tianran had united with the Holy Spirit Church, the throne would definitely belong to Xu Tianran. Xu Tianran was ambitious and wanted to start a war. As long as he was killed, the war would be delayed.

I don't know how long it will be delayed though...

But at least we can buy some time.

"Master, would you like to join our Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect?"

Zhiyong looked at Ning Bowen who was in deep thought and asked.

With Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui both seriously injured, this is indeed a good opportunity and it might just work.

After all, their purpose is only to delay the arrival of war.

"The sect's strength is not enough."

Ning Bowen opened his eyes and shook his head slowly.

No matter what, Xu Tianran must be protected by an extreme strongman. Uncle Ye is in the process of breaking through, and it is unknown when he will be able to come out. To fight against an Extreme Douluo, you must be a veteran 98th level Titled Douluo, otherwise you will basically be defeated once you fight.

After pondering for a while, he finally made a decision.

"Reply to Shrek Academy. The Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect will cooperate with their actions, but only when Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui take action. After all, Jun Ting failed to ask Di Tian to deal with Long Xiaoyao and the others. If Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui appear again, Di Tian will undoubtedly fulfill his promise."

Then he changed the subject again. "If it's not Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui, then it's up to Jun Ting to decide whether to take action."

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, Zhiyong immediately agreed.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

When the fog dissipated and the sunlight was already shining on the ground like pieces of gold, a group of people were already ready to go in front of Jiubao City.

Since this trip to Mingdu is extremely dangerous, apart from Chen Junting and the other fourteen people who are going to participate in the competition, only Ji Juechen, who wants to find strong men from other sects and forces, will be traveling with them.

Jing Ziyan wanted to go with them, but due to the heavy workload of mecha and battle armor research, she had to give up this plan. With Zhiyong's arrival, all the people who were heading to Mingdu had arrived. There were 16 people in total, which was neither too many nor too few.

Perhaps there is someone guarding in secret to ensure the safety of Chen Junting and others in Mingdu, but only Zhiyong knows this.

"How are we going to get to Mingdu this time?"

Wu Feng looked around at the gate, but found no trace of the carriage. But then again, the time before the opening of the competition was very short, and the carriage might not be able to make it.

"Or we can use a flying soul guide."

As Huo Yuhao spoke, he reached out to take them. Just in case, he prepared twenty of them this time.

"no need."

Chen Junting smiled and stopped Huo Yuhao.

After looking at Zhiyong's expressionless face, he looked up at the blue sky in the distance, where a black shadow was flying towards him. After a moment, it gradually became bigger and turned out to be a Titan Griffin.

But this Titan is not the Titan of the Titan Ape.

The Titan Griffin does not have the blood of the mythical beast Titan, but because of its naturally huge size, it is the largest soul beast with flying ability except for dragon soul beasts, so it is called "Titan" to highlight its characteristics.

The Titan Griffin's huge shadow covered the plains outside Jiubao City, but it did not fly any further because its instinct as a living creature told it the danger of the city ahead.

But even so,
It also looks defiant and even unhappy.

Originally, it lived a comfortable life, but was called by the Beast God to serve as a means of transportation for human soul masters. As a soul beast, it naturally did not dare to displease Emperor Tian, ​​but it was different for humans.

"Come down."

Chen Junting took a step forward and revealed the Emperor's Reverse Scale.

That’s right, this Titan Griffin with 70,000 years of cultivation was the one he “borrowed” from Emperor Tian in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Because in addition to its huge size, the Titan Griffin can also fly very high in the sky with very little consumption.

For example, a Titan Griffin can fly at an altitude of one thousand meters after ten years, two thousand meters after a hundred years, three thousand meters after a thousand years, and four thousand meters after ten thousand years.

Ten thousand years later, the Titan Griffin's flying ability will increase by several hundred meters for every ten thousand years of cultivation. It is said that after one hundred thousand years, it can even fly freely at an altitude of ten thousand meters.

It’s a pity that the number is extremely rare.

It is precisely because of its flying ability that Chen Junting asked Di Tian for it.

Only in this way can they successfully escape the post-match ambush of the Sun-Moon Empire.

After all, a Titan Griffin with more than 70,000 years of cultivation can fly at an altitude of about 8,000 meters.

In this way, they can avoid the surveillance of ultra-high altitude detection soul guides and also get rid of the pursuit of the Sun and Moon Empire.

As long as the extreme combat power is not used, it will be safe.

After all, he didn't want to be forced to go to Qiankun Valley of Love.

“Hey——”

After sensing Di Tian's breath, the Titan Griffin, which had been unruly and unhappy just now, suddenly became clear-eyed.

As the wings flapped, a strong wind surged.

After raising a cloud of dust, it slowly landed on the ground.

"Oh my goodness, are we going to take it?"

Qin Lan's eyes were full of suspicion and surprise.

When the others saw this, they weren't much better.

Even Zhiyong and Ning Tian, ​​who were half-informed, were shocked by Chen Junting's move this time.

What a luxury it is to have a soul beast with 70,000 years of cultivation as a mount.

"Yes, take it."

Chen Junting came to the Titan Griffin, patted its tough feathers, and then waved to signal everyone to climb onto its back.

Then he turned around, picked up Ning Tian, ​​walked on the void, and easily climbed onto the back of the Titan Griffin. Gu Tianchen then opened the void door with his backhand, connecting the upper and lower parts directly.

When Qin Lan and others stepped onto the back of the Titan Griffin one by one, out of the pride of the 70,000-year-old soul beast, the Titan Griffin's body shook, causing many people to stagger in a hurry.

Until Zhiyong also stepped onto the back of the Titan Griffin, at that moment, the Titan Griffin immediately calmed down.

"This guy is really a bully."

Huang Chutian held his head and staggered to his feet.

He was standing on the edge of the back just now. If the Lan sisters hadn't grabbed him by the hair, he would have fallen down.

Qin Lan said nonchalantly, "After all, it is a 70,000-year-old soul beast, which is equivalent to us humans being Soul Douluo-level masters. Now it has not only become a mount, but also lets us, who have lower cultivation than it, step on its head. It's normal for it to be angry."

"Okay, let's go."

Seeing that everyone had come up, Chen Junting did not waste any time and commanded the Titan Griffin to take off.

"go!"

The Titan Griffin suddenly flapped its wings, and its huge body quickly rose higher as its shadow left on the ground became smaller and smaller.

Zhiyong waved his hand decisively, and the blue vines wrapped around everyone to stabilize their bodies. At the same time, a layer of blue light shield also wrapped around the back of the Titan Griffin, blocking the strong wind and conserving air.

Soon, the surrounding scenery quickly receded, and the things below became smaller and smaller.
