Douluo Dragon King: I am the Lord of the Abyss, the King of Eternal Night.

Chapter 114: A Key Link, Building Faith
"Hmm? Such a familiar smell?"

Just as Jiang Xiu and Na'er passed by Tang Wulin, Tang Wulin seemed to sense something. He suddenly stopped what he was doing and looked around.

But Jiang Xiu and Na'er did not stop, but continued to walk away and soon disappeared in the Tianhai Alliance arena.

"It's so strange. Why does Jiang Xiu feel so familiar?" Tang Wulin looked at the two people's disappearing backs, scratched his head slightly, and said in confusion.

"Tang Wulin, why don't you eat anymore? I've already finished my meal even if you haven't." Just when Tang Wulin was confused, Xu Lizhi had already finished the food in front of him and was ready to stretch his claws into Tang Wulin's plate.

"Stop!" Tang Wulin immediately slapped Xu Lizhi's hand away and quickly stuffed the food into his mouth.

Although he no longer has the Golden Dragon King's essence, his appetite has not decreased.

"I'm not full yet, so I can only eat my own buns." Seeing the last of the food disappear, Xu Lizhi touched his round belly and sighed.

"Little Foodie, why are you here? I told you not to run around. What if there are people out there with bad intentions? You're a Shrek Academy student now."

Just as Xu Lizhi was using her soul power to gather the buns, a heroic figure appeared behind her. It was Ye Xinglan with a stern face.

"Sister Xinglan!" Xu Lizhi was startled when he turned around and saw the person behind him. He quickly said, "I'm just hungry and want to eat something..."

"Let's go, the teacher is waiting for us." Ye Xinglan glanced at Tang Wulin and the others indifferently, shook his golden hair, and walked out very efficiently.

"Wulin, I'm leaving first. Let's meet again in the evening." Xu Lizhi gave Tang Wulin a finger and immediately followed Ye Xinglan. With an honest look, there was a hint of admiration in his eyes as he looked at Ye Xinglan's back.

"Oh, okay." Tang Wulin nodded slightly. He had some similarities with Xu Lizhi, a fellow glutton whom he had just met.

"Wulin, come here." At this time, the aloof Wu Changkong came from a distance and waved to Tang Wulin.

"Teacher, what's wrong? Is there any competition to arrange?" Tang Wulin followed Wu Zhangkong until they stopped in a deserted place.

"It's not about the competition," Wu Zhangkong shook his head slightly, looking at Tang Wulin with a complicated look. "Wulin, the teacher has used all the connections he can, but has not found any trace of your parents."

"..." Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin fell silent for a moment, and said in a hoarse voice, "Teacher, will my parents..."

"Don't let your imagination run wild. The teacher will definitely help you find your parents." Wu Zhangkong's face darkened and he interrupted with a wave of his hand. "What did your parents do for a living? Or do they have any special skills? The more details the better."

"What do they do..." Tang Wulin was slightly stunned. "My parents used to be pharmacists. The letter they left me also said that they worked as pharmacists for a large company and that they wanted to earn enough money for me to buy a soul."

Wu Zhangkong raised his eyebrows slightly and whispered silently, "Pharmacist..."

……

Inside the Blacksmith Guild's exclusive hotel.

Jiang Xiu sat cross-legged on the bed, black mist swirling in his hands. A tall figure slowly stood up from the shadows, his scarlet eyes filled with coldness.

But the moment he saw Jiang Xiu, he immediately became loyal and came to Jiang Xiu with a grin.

"My lord, what are your orders?"

Jiang Xiu raised his eyes to look at the Ant King and pointed to the chair beside him and asked him to sit down.

As one of his two generals, the Ant King was always kept by his side to protect his safety because of his extraordinary perception of danger.

"How is Emperor Ba doing?" Jiang Xiu asked softly. Upon hearing the mention of Emperor Ba, the Ant King's expression immediately turned serious. "It has been half a year since Emperor Ba and Emperor Lie sparred. Emperor Ba has not left his palace during these months, presumably he has been cultivating and preparing for the sparring session six months from now."

"Half a year is enough time to prepare." Jiang Xiu nodded thoughtfully.

After returning to the Holy Spirit Church, Dark Bell sent him a message that the Holy Spirit Church was indeed preparing the materials for the Blood River God-killing Formation, but had not yet informed them of the specific layout of the formation.

However, Dark Bell guarantees that the formation can be arranged within a month.

Jiang Xiu has also handed over the vitality and resentment needed for the Blood River God-killing Formation to the Six-clawed Demon Emperor. In the abyss plane, there are enough providers of these things. After all, the thing that the abyss lacks the least is abyss creatures.

And they don't need too much. They don't have to reach a true god-level formation. Just enough to kill Emperor Ba will be enough.

"Has that thing been condensed successfully?" Everything went according to his plan. Jiang Xiu looked at the Ant King, then expanded the King's Domain, isolating it from the outside world.

"Don't worry about me." The Ant King grinned, placed his hands on his heart, and a diamond-shaped abyss crystal slowly floated out.

"Buzz!"

Abyss energy burst out from the Ant King's hands and slowly poured into the Abyss Crystal. The purple-black crystal slowly opened a hole, and a strand of white, almost transparent silk thread slowly floated out of it.

This transparent thread is quite mysterious. It does not belong to any of the soul power, blood, or abyss energy, but it faintly exudes an alluring breath and floats quietly in the air.

"My lord, this is the power of faith that you asked me to gather, although it is only a little bit." The Ant King held it in both hands and handed it to Jiang Xiu.

The moment Jiang Xiu saw the transparent silk thread, his eyes suddenly lit up and he took it solemnly.

Because this power of faith was the key to his participation in the East China Sea competition. Students like Yu Yuanheng and others from Shrek Academy were merely stepping stones; he wanted to lure out the bigger fish.

"My lord, you know that although our Ant King clan and Bat King clan have many members, there are very few who are wise. The power of faith can only condense these temporarily." After handing it to Jiang Xiu, the Ant King explained with some reassurance.

"Well, you have done a great job." Jiang Xiu observed the power of faith in his hand, with a slight smile on his lips, and began to praise.

"It's good to be able to share the master's worries." The Ant King replied in a serious voice with a very firm look in his eyes, although he was a little confused in his heart.

Not long ago, Jiang Xiu suddenly asked him if he could condense the power of faith. As for the power of faith, having experienced conquering many dimensions, he naturally knew the existence of this special energy.

This requires extremely devout believers, and as the king of a clan, he naturally has loyal subordinates, but he has never cared about this kind of power in the past.

Because they want to make a breakthrough in their cultivation, they can only rely on the race promotion war and upgrade fundamentally from the plane level. After all, their origin is closely connected with the abyss plane, and the power of faith is extremely useless to them.

What's more, although there are many races among them, not many of them are intelligent. The wisdom of the races mentioned above is indeed much higher, but the number of races is extremely small, and they cannot become a big force at all. Therefore, in the entire abyss, they are not interested in the power of faith.

Compared to the power of faith, vitality is plundered faster.

"Now everything is ready, just waiting for the competition to begin."

Jiang Xiu's purple eyes turned into blood-red pupils, looking into the distance through the king's domain.

In this world, the only one who can directly sense the power of faith is that Holy Spirit Douluo...
