Douluo: The Holy Radiance of the Dragon King

Chapter 234 Suppressing Gu Yue in a Secret Chamber? Returning to Xingluo, Explanations Before Seclusion

"What do we do next?"

"Of course, we need to rush back to the Star Luo Continent and create an alibi. It's up to you."

After sending the five Heavenly Kings to Mingdu for resettlement, Feng Zaixing arranged for Long Yue and Dai Yueyan to return to the Star Luo Empire on ocean-going freighters, and urged Gu Yue to run away.

Gu Yue activated the Dragon God Core for remote teleportation, pouting her cherry lips, and muttered, "Why do I have this feeling of having done something wrong and then fleeing? Don't we have legitimate identities?"

Feng Zaixing rolled his eyes slightly and retorted, "For Shi Tang, isn't what we did the worst thing ever?"

"Now that my cultivation has reached a certain level, I still cannot defeat Yun Ming and Cao Dezhi. Guan Yue's stance is uncertain, and Di Tian and the others cannot be brought into the open. If we force our way through, we will definitely suffer heavy losses."

"Although we are the strongest force in the Douluo Continent, we do not have an absolute advantage over other forces."

Cao Dezhi is alright, but Yun Ming and Guan Yue, these two fellow disciples, are not ordinary quasi-gods. They can unleash god-level combat power when pushed to the brink.

Feng Zaixing was quite wary of these two people and did not want to suffer their desperate revenge. He was not afraid of dying himself, but he was worried about others suffering.

After all, he was too young, and even if he used various methods to increase his cultivation speed, he still lacked sufficient time and foundation.

Needless to say, even a genius like him needs time to grow.

"boom"

Nine-colored divine light swirled, and the spatial tunnel opened. The handsome young man in tight-fitting clothes looked at the rapidly disappearing land scenery before him, his expression calming down. He said, "Time has been with us from beginning to end. Those restless fellows no longer dare to attack us. Now is our golden period to improve our strength."

"In a few years, we will completely replace the older generation and take control of the Sun and Moon Federation and the core power of the entire plane."

Gu Yue remained silent for a moment, pondered for a while, and then said, "With three years, I will definitely be able to break through to the Soul Douluo level, and it's also possible for me to reach the Title Douluo level."

"And you? Three-word battle armor, four-word battle armor, no problem, right?"

Gu Yue gave her guild leader an inquiring look.

Her response was a slap on the head from Chairman Feng.

"clatter"

Feng Zaixing withdrew his fingers, crossed his arms, and calmly met the other party's dissatisfied gaze. He felt a strange sense of pleasure, like petting a cat, and said, "Gu Yue, please don't doubt your strength. A small three-word battle armor is only a matter of time for me."

"If you don't mind, I have plenty of soul-forging metal here, which can be used to make three-word battle armor at any time."

"As for the four-word battle armor, it depends on whether I have the time to study and research it with Teacher Zhenhua."

Gu Yue rubbed her head, her beautiful eyes wide open, and said angrily, "I think you'd better spend your energy on some research. Di Tian has told me countless times that humans only managed to drive the Soul Beast race to the brink of extinction thanks to their Four-Word Battle Armor."

"A titled Douluo wearing a four-word battle armor is comparable to a Limit Douluo; a demigod wearing a four-word battle armor is comparable to a quasi-god; and a quasi-god wearing a four-word battle armor can glimpse the ultimate realm below the god level, and is no weaker than Huo Yuhao back then."

Feng Zaixing found the idea very reasonable and then sighed softly.

Gu Yue asked curiously, "What are you sighing about?"

"Over the past ten thousand years, countless geniuses have emerged, some of whom are no weaker than Huo Yuhao, yet they have failed to become gods. Isn't that something to lament?"

Feng Zaixing stood with his hands behind his back and said regretfully, "Not to mention others, our sect's founding ancestor created the 'Secret of the Body,' and his cultivation was so profound that among the first generation of the Seven Monsters 20,000 years ago, apart from the Sea God Tang San, no one at the same level was his match."

"The ancestor who created the 'Innate Secret Method' achieved godhood in his physical body, with no flaws whatsoever. His talent was unparalleled, but he was inferior to Huo Yuhao only in his soul. He too turned into withered bones."

Feng Zaixing whispered, "I can now vaguely sense the suppression of the dimensional order. This stems from the instinct of the dimensional spirit. Fortunately, Tang Hao cannot interfere with the dimensional space right now, so I haven't sensed any threat of death from the dimensional suppression."

In the battle at sea, Tang Hao was severely injured by the spirit of the plane. Ji Juechen then delivered a finishing blow, shattering Tang Hao's spirit and form, rendering him unable to interfere with the plane anymore.

Even so, the plane that had been tormented by the Tang family for 20,000 years could not bear the birth of a god-level powerhouse. The only good news was that Yun Ming, Chen Xinjie, Yu Guanjun and others no longer needed to hide their divine essence spiritual power.

Gu Yue was overjoyed upon hearing this, waved his folding fan, and laughed, "In that case, you'd better be careful, this dimension can't suppress my strength."

Upon hearing this, Feng Zaixing narrowed his eyes and said with a serious expression, "Gu Yue, are you reminding me that I'm going to deal with you right now? What do you think of the basement of Mingde Hall? There are quite a few secret rooms built in advance there."

"In terms of suppressing people, I, your chairman, am number one in the world."

As he spoke, his eyes flashed with a sharp light, as if he were considering which secret room best suited Gu Yue's temperament and characteristics.

It wouldn't be right not to incorporate some unique features into an escape room.

Gu Yue showed no fear, instead revealing an arrogant smile as she lightly tossed the Dragon God Core: "My guild master, are you reminding me that I should exile you now? You don't want to wander the Douluo Continent, do you?"

Feng Zaixing sneered, "You think I wouldn't install an automatic navigation system? On the way to the Star Luo Empire, I recorded the entire route and used the most advanced intelligent processing."

The Blazing Fire, a god-level mech, appeared suspended in the air, its top radiating a delicate, fiery light and shadow, its surface etched with the dedication of a model employee to their work.

"I have memorized the entire route. Even if you, Silver Dragon King, banish our lord to the ocean, we will return!"

'

Upon seeing this, Gu Yue was greatly astonished. This was the automatic navigation system?

Feng Zaixing pretended not to see Gu Yue's disdainful and questioning look. The ferocious beast spirit's ability was much stronger than that of ordinary AI; all he had to do was feed it the map.

He chuckled confidently, "How about it, Little Silver Dragon? Now you understand the importance of keeping a low profile?"

Gu Yue bristled at the mention of "Little Silver Dragon," angrily retorting, "You can call me Gu Yue or Silver Dragon King, but don't use such a vicious name!"

"Oh, it seems you're out of options." Feng Zaixing understood; Gu Yue probably already severed the spatial passage if she had a way.

Miss Silver Dragon was furious, but that was all she was angry about.

"You went back to the Star Luo Empire for seclusion, and you chose Dragon Valley, right?"

"That's natural." Feng Zaixing smiled calmly. Although Dragon Valley does not allow for the improvement of soul power, it is a good place to accumulate and summarize, suitable for the rapid advancement of physical and mental power.

His spiritual power has reached the limit below the divine level, and he has cultivated the innate secret method to the final "golden body" realm. He is just waiting to complete the cultivation so that he can shake the quasi-god with the power of his physical body.

In addition, once the "Golden Body" realm of the innate secret technique is successfully cultivated, one can complete the third awakening of the main body's martial soul. Feng Zaixing knew that his cultivation situation was special, but he might as well give it a try.

"Before I go into seclusion, there are some things I need to explain. Thank you. I'll definitely choose a good secret chamber to suppress you in the future."

Feng Zaixing thanked the long-range driver Gu Yue, then leaped into the air and flew straight into Xingluo City.

Gu Yue roughly knew who he was going to see. Her eyebrows shot up, and her jade-like hand stirred up ripples in the space, enveloping her exquisite body as she vanished into thin air.

"That despicable fellow tried to suppress me! Once my cultivation is restored, I will surely suppress you in return!" On his way to find Leng Yaozhu, Gu Yue made an unwavering decision.

It was evening that night.

Feng Zaixing found his own people in the Star Luo Empire's palace, who were dealing with Dai Tianling's hospitality along with the main force.

"So what if we completely wiped out the Green Skull and some other rebels? The victory celebration has been going on for five days and it's still not over?"

Seeing the lavish banquets inside and outside the imperial city, the makeshift open-air celebration platform and altar for worshipping heaven, Feng Zaixing felt deeply that these old imperialists were still too rich.

"They were overjoyed after finally winning such a great victory."

Yu Xinxue, as beautiful as jade, looked at Dai Tianling, who was inviting women in elaborate costumes to dance and sing in the crowd, and said, "Moreover, defeating the rebels has extraordinary implications. Without these obstacles within the Star Luo Empire, its future development speed will greatly increase."

Yuan Enhui said, "These past few days, rumors have been circulating in Xingluo City that Dai Tianling is a wise ruler who is a rare sight in the Xingluo Empire. Some people have suggested that this is too extravagant, but they were quickly refuted."

Na'er wiped her mouth with a tissue and continued, "The objector says that Xingluo is in its golden age and should celebrate; His Majesty and the officials have worked hard for half their lives and should share the joy with the people."

Upon hearing this, Feng Zaixing didn't know whether to praise their good attitude or mock their excessive optimism. He said, "The Star Luo Empire may be about to enter a period of rapid development, but it's unlikely that the Star Luo Empire will become stronger through rapid development."

"The reclusive families and sects we wiped out had been engaged in black market smuggling for years. Now that we've taken them all out, the Star Luo Empire will face a shortage of some essential resources in a few years."

"The Federation has severed those tentacles, and it will only become easier for them in the future. The Spirit Pagoda is now in my hands, and the Star Luo Empire has lost its last maritime trade rights."

Upon hearing this, Yu Xin turned her head, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Feng Zaixing, and asked with a smile, "Then, in your opinion, how can the Star Luo Empire become strong?"

Without hesitation, Feng Zaixing said, "Go all out to bind Shi Tang, use our reputation to win over Shrek Academy, use benefits to stabilize Tang Clan, and then turn our swords on the reclusive families and wealthy people among the vast population who have migrated here, and seize their assets."

"Those bastards couldn't stay in the Federation and came to Xingluo for refuge. I, Dai Tianling, will take 50-60% of their assets first, and they won't have a chance to resist!"

"As for regular taxes, we can start with 60-70% and collect up to 90% of the inheritance tax. We can invest most of the income in scientific research, military affairs and the cultivation of geniuses. In this way, we can see results in less than ten years, or even as little as five years."

Yuan Enhui whispered, "Won't this provoke a fierce resistance?"

Feng Zaixing said calmly, "Yes, but it will definitely enrich the country and strengthen the military. Poor people have no money to earn and no benefit. Of course, when it comes to exploiting the land, we should cut down the rich."

Na'er asked in surprise, "Then, Senior Brother, you didn't come here because you wanted to—"

"You're right. One of the purposes is to persuade Dai Tianling to take action. Before, there were rebels within the country, but now that there are no internal troubles, how can we not take decisive action?"

"Do those reclusive families think I can't do anything to them just because they've fled to Xingluo? There are plenty of people willing to kill them."

Feng Zaixing smiled and took out a document, saying to Yu Xin, "Here you go. In my capacity as the FBI Lieutenant General Director, I will hand over half of the assets we previously seized to the Federation to invest in the development of cutting-edge soul guidance technology and the upgrading of military equipment."

He said earnestly, "First and foremost, I support the Central Army Corps."

Yu Xin's beautiful eyes curved into a smile, her eyebrows swaying like willow branches, but she didn't take it. Instead, she asked, "What are your plans? Can't you go back yourself?"

"I'll be in seclusion for training, maybe for a year, maybe for three years."

Feng Zaixing took out two "Spirit Transmission" tokens that Qian Gu Qing Feng had given him as an apology, and said, "I'm sorry I can't accompany you to the Spirit Transmission Tower to find the Evil Eye Beast."

Yu Xin paused for a moment, then took out the Investiture of the Gods and the Life Praise Gloves, handing them to the other person and saying, "Take these; they might come in handy."

"I'm very close to becoming a Contra Douluo. Within three years, I will achieve the title."
