Douluo: I am a biologist, awakening the weapon spirit?

Chapter 179 The Archer of the Heaven Dou Royal Team

Chen Feng had only ever devised plans to win over the four clans; he had never personally taken action to implement them.

Because he is too young and his immature appearance makes him unconvincing, it would be better for Ning Fengzhi to carry out the plan.

Anyway, Ning Fengzhi is also very good at this and is fully capable of completing Chen Feng's plan.

Yang Wudi agreed to Ning Fengzhi's request without much hesitation.

The Po Clan's previous network of operations was based in the Star Luo Empire, mainly because the Haotian Sect was located in Star Luo, and the Po Clan, which was once under its jurisdiction, naturally operated primarily there.

If they can now cooperate with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Breaking Clan's pharmaceutical business can expand to the Heaven Dou Empire, greatly broadening their market reach.

Moreover, big clients like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School are rare finds; the Imperial Clan made a fortune back then, so Yang Wudi certainly had no reason to refuse.

He immediately told Ning Fengzhi about the effects of several body-tempering elixirs he knew, and let Ning Fengzhi choose the one he liked.

After Ning Fengzhi made his selection, the collaboration officially began.

“However, I heard that the Po clan mainly operates in the Star Luo Empire. Would it be inconvenient for them to supply medicine to our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?” Ning Fengzhi suddenly asked.

“It will indeed be inconvenient. Does Sect Leader Ning have any good solutions?” Yang Wudi asked.

"How about this, I can clear out a piece of land near the sect, and then your Broken Clan can send people to be stationed there. You can also tell us what infrastructure you need, and we will help you procure it."

"This will make the manufacturing and delivery of the medicine much easier. We can even help you purchase the necessary herbs according to your requirements. You only need to focus on making the medicine. Of course, this is not mandatory. If you feel that this will leak the prescription, you can purchase the herbs yourself," Ning Fengzhi said with a smile.

Yang Wudi turned and glanced at Niu Gao, whose expression was subtle, not far away. After a moment of silence, he said:

"Sect Leader Ning, your intentions are quite obvious. Are you planning to use the same tactics you employed against the Yu Clan against my Po Clan?"

Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly and said, "It is true that I admire Clan Chief Yang and your Broken Clan, and it is also true that I want to do business with Clan Chief Yang. It just depends on whether Clan Chief Yang is willing to take on this business."

The reason why a strategy is considered "open" is that it lays its mind out in the open and has no fear of being exposed.

Ning Fengzhi has made it clear that he truly admires the Po Clan and has expressed his desire to do business with them. He has even set up this elaborate scheme to see if Yang Wudi is willing to join in.

Yang Wudi knew the background of the Yu clan's entry into Qibao, and he also knew that Ning Fengzhi wouldn't use any underhanded tricks. The other party relied on honorable means, winning people's hearts little by little through friendship and personal charm.

Such methods are difficult to counter. Either Yang Wudi would reject Ning Fengzhi's proposal from the beginning and prefer to conduct business in an inconvenient way.

Or, to be even more straightforward, simply refuse to do business with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

If Yang Wudi accepts Ning Fengzhi's business and proposal, then he must maintain his belief in not being swayed until the business deal between the two parties is finalized.

This could be ten or twenty years, or it could be fifty or a hundred years, because this is a transcendent world, and even a Soul Saint can live for quite a long time.

Not to mention that Chen Feng is likely to be the next leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Would he cut off this business?
That's certainly impossible.

Even if Yang Wudi himself could remain steadfast for his entire life, what about his successor?

This is quite different from the Haotian Sect's style of doing things. The Haotian Sect's method of dealing with the four clans is to govern them, and it was through force that the four clans were subdued in the first place.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's current method is assimilation, and they've even openly assimilated carriages and horses. After assimilation, everyone will be intertwined, and we'll all be one family.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is not entirely composed of Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Masters; there are also a considerable number of other Martial Soul Soul Masters, such as Old Meng, who was tasked with protecting Chen Feng.

These Soul Masters were gradually assimilated into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School over a long period of time, and the assimilation method at that time was basically through marriage.

Now, Chen Feng has provided Ning Fengzhi with a new method of assimilation, called trade assimilation.

First, become a trade partner with the other party, then strengthen communication between personnel. Once the relationship is close enough, as long as there is some external pressure, the other party's integration will be a natural outcome.

Although Yang Wudi was not entirely clear about the intricacies, the fate of the Yu clan was right before his eyes.

Although the Yu clan is living a comfortable life now, that's the problem. If the Yu clan were not doing well, Yang Wudi wouldn't need to worry, because he knows he definitely won't fall for it.

The key point is that the Yu clan is living much better than before, even more comfortably than during their time in the Haotian Sect. This makes Yang Wudi unsure whether he will be affected in the future.

"Clan Chief Yang, what's your decision?" Ning Fengzhi asked gently.

Yang Wudi gave a wry smile. "Sect Leader Ning's methods are truly impressive. I admire them. I accept Sect Leader Ning's plan."

In the end, Yang Wudi accepted Ning Fengzhi's proposal in its entirety, because it was indeed beneficial to the Po clan.

As for the future, Yang Wudi felt that if that day ever came and he was won over by Ning Fengzhi's personal charm, then the Po clan would naturally submit to him.

Anyway, it's not a bad thing. Aren't the Min and Yu clans doing quite well now?

What Yang Wudi didn't know was that when he had this thought in his mind, it was only a matter of time before the Po clan entered the Seven Treasures.

In the following days, Yang Wudi and Ning Fengzhi held detailed discussions on the cooperation between the two parties and finally reached an agreement.

At the same time, Chen Feng and his teammates once again threw themselves into training.

This combat training will last for two months, during which Chen Feng and others have made significant progress in their combat experience and pre-battle mentality.

While constantly heading to the Heaven Dou Grand Arena, Chen Feng finally found an opportunity to watch the Heaven Dou Royal Team's team battle match.

Their opponents were a team from the Duchy of Tianshuang, who came looking for a challenger. The Tiandou Royal Team accepted their challenge.

At this time, Yu Tianheng had already broken through to the Soul Master realm and possessed a soul power of level 41, while Dugu Yan's soul power was even higher than Yu Tianheng's, at level 43.

Clearly, Dugu Bo had already given her the immortal herb that Tang San had chosen for her, the ninth-grade Dragon Mushroom, which could strengthen the bloodline of the dragon race.

Besides the two of them, there was another person from the Heavenly Dou Royal Team who caught Chen Feng's attention.

That's the marksman position among them.

In the original novel, Yu Feng is merely a minor character who appears once and then disappears without a trace. However, in the comics, Yu Feng is Bai Chenxiang's alias, the identity she uses after defying fate and attempting to absorb an aggressive spirit ring.

Now that Bai Chenxiang has become a member of the Hydra team, there are two possibilities for the marksman position of the Tiandou Royal Team.

One option is to remain as Yu Feng, and the other is to become someone else entirely, with Yu Feng no longer existing.

Judging from the current situation of the Tiandou Royal Team, the latter situation applies, as they have changed their marksman.

He was a young man named Tang Ying, whose martial soul was a large purple bow called the Purple Flower Bow, and his soul power was level thirty-nine.

This was a martial soul that wasn't unfamiliar to Chen Feng. He remembered that this martial soul had also appeared in the second era of Dou Di Zhuan, and it belonged to a student of the Zheng Tian Academy in the Tian Hun Empire.

The student's name is Tang Xiaolei. Judging from his surname and martial spirit, he is very likely related to this Tang Ying.

Unlike Yu Feng, Tang Ying does not have the ability to fly. Instead, he is an infantry archer. In team battles, he is positioned not far in front of Ye Lingling, in a very rear position within the team.

Furthermore, in the team battle of the Heaven Dou Royal Team that Chen Feng observed, Tang Ying did not make a single move, nor did he even summon his martial soul; he simply watched the whole thing.

If the Grand Arena hadn't opened betting odds before each team battle and displayed the basic information of both sides, Chen Feng might not have noticed this person's special qualities.

After all, the fact that the Heavenly Dou Royal Team has changed its marksman means that Yu Feng in this world is Bai Chenxiang, if Yu Feng appears.

So when Bai Chenxiang became a member of the Hydra team, the Tian Dou Royal Team had to fill the gap by adding a marksman to fill their missing position.

The replacement player may not be very strong; they might just be there to make up the numbers.

However, when Chen Feng saw what Tang Ying's martial soul was, he knew that this person was definitely not just there to make up the numbers, and would be a key combat force.

In Douluo Continent II, Tang Xiaolei, as the owner of the Purple Flower Bow Martial Soul, can transform his Soul Rings into arrows and launch them, the power of which should not be underestimated.

Even when he fired his century-old soul ring, he was able to shoot a small hole in the protective shield of the Soul Master Competition arena at that time. Keep in mind that the protective shield was constructed by Soul Masters ten thousand years later.

Clearly, Tang Xiaolei, who possesses the Purple Flower Bow martial soul, is positioned as a sniper, using a small but powerful attack to snipe key opponents.

By the same token, Tang Ying is likely positioned in the same way now, and he has been used as a secret weapon by the Heaven Dou Royal Team, not exposed in the Great Soul Arena.

Although Chen Feng already knew.

However, even if one person was just observing from the sidelines during the team battle, not even summoning their martial spirit and just coasting along, it still couldn't stop the Heavenly Dou Royal Team from crushing their opponents in the team battle.

Judging solely from the team battle that Chen Feng witnessed, the opponent of the Heavenly Dou Royal Team was a standard level 40 team, meaning that the soul power of its members was all above level 40.

The Heavenly Dou Royal Team only has two Soul Masters, a mix of Soul Masters and Soul Venerables, with Soul Venerables being the dominant one.

However, the Tian Dou Royal Team won without encountering any major setbacks because the entire team was perfectly integrated and executed their tactics very smoothly.

In the team battle, the Tiandou Royal Team first formed a strange formation, with Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan standing at the very front of the team.

Yu Tianheng was in front, and Dugu Yan was a little behind.

Behind them, the other five people stood in a small square formation, and the whole team's formation looked like the Chinese character "由".

Tang Ying was in the center of the formation, Ye Lingling was at the back, and Oslo was wandering around Ye Lingling.

Yes, as an assassin, he had no intention of entering the enemy ranks to assassinate them; instead, he saw himself as a bodyguard.

The Shi brothers, like guardians, joined Oslo in protecting Tang Ying and Ye Lingling within the formation.

When Chen Feng first saw this formation, he had a bad feeling, and the subsequent actions of the Tian Dou Royal Team proved his premonition.

First, Dugu Yan started releasing poison, and unlike in the original story where she released poisonous mist, she directly sprayed poisonous water.

After Dugu Yan used her soul ring, the green, poisonous water was sprayed forward and began to overflow.

Strangely, however, the poisonous water bypassed Yu Tianheng's location and continued to spread forward.

Clearly, this poisonous water was controlled by Dugu Yan.

The opponents of the Heavenly Dou Royal Team naturally knew that the poisonous water should not be touched lightly, but they believed that it was poisonous water, not poisonous fog.

Even if they step on it, with their shoes blocking the way, what can the poisonous water do to them?

So they tried stepping on it, and sure enough, it didn't have any effect, which made them overjoyed.

Some of them even mocked Dugu Yan, saying she was just a figurehead.

Dugu Yan merely watched with amusement, ignoring these country bumpkins from the duchy.

Only when her opponent charged towards her through the poisonous water did Dugu Yan make her move. She took a step back, distancing herself from the poison she had sprayed.

At the same time, Yu Tianheng also took action, making a pressing motion with one hand in front of him.

The next moment, a dazzling flash of lightning appeared.

The electric light traveled rapidly through the poisonous water, directly penetrating the bodies of several of the enemy's vanguard soldiers who were charging towards them, causing them to feel a numbing sensation.

Originally, this wouldn't have caused any serious consequences, but after the poison water was electrified, a layer of misty green gas rose from it, causing several of the opponent's vanguards to fall to the ground and spreading throughout the entire Soul Arena, including the direction of the Heavenly Dou Royal Team.

At this moment, Ye Lingling exerted her power. White light, like flower petals, flew out from her body and entered her teammates' bodies, resisting the effects of the toxin.

But their opponents did not receive such treatment and could only fall one by one in the poison gas.

In the end, the Heavenly Dou Royal Team won as expected.
