Douluo: The Holy Radiance of the Dragon King

Chapter 274 Cao Dezhi, with a strong back, and the eternal east wind, just like lemons.

"The Blood God Legion achieves a great victory, and the Abyss Dimension suffers a complete collapse? Is this news true?"

At the Tang Sect headquarters on the Star Luo Continent, a man with a face as aged as a man in his sixties looked at the intelligence report on the Blood God Legion handed to him, his indifferent and ruthless eyes surging with emotion.

He was Cao Dezhi. His thin body stood up, looking listless and lifeless, as if a gust of wind could blow him over.

"Yes, that's what the Sun and Moon Federation is saying. Our Tang Clan soldiers in the Blood God Legion have all been driven away, but according to information from some Shrek soldiers and Blood Five, it should be true."

Guo Xiaoxu, the leader of the Fighting Soul Hall, respectfully reported the news to Cao Dezhi, his face shrouded in deep sorrow.

Since the incident involving the deputy sect leader, the sect leader has visibly aged, taking on all the affairs of the sect, which has practically worn him out.

Cao Dezhi stared intently at the intelligence summary, reading it word by word. Soon, he gave a sneer.

"Good, good. The Sun and Moon Federation has brought out the technology that had been sealed away long ago. With the high-energy compression soul tool and the linked soul tool array, along with a god-killing cannonball, it's no wonder they were able to do this."

"In order to develop those three level twelve god-killing cannonballs, the Federation's technology stagnated for a thousand years. It is quite suitable to use it on the Abyss Plane."

Guo Xiaoxu said in a low voice, "Sect Master, don't overthink it. At least for now, it seems that the people from the Federation are still rational and won't throw god-killing shells at us."

Cao Dezhi smiled coldly, his words filled with sarcasm. How could he not hear it? In theory, the use of a god-killing cannonball requires unanimous approval from the Federal Assembly, and the Federal Assembly clearly followed that procedure.

Of course, whether it exists or not doesn't affect the outcome. The current parliament is completely controlled by the hawks. However, this "get on the bus first, buy the ticket later" approach makes Tang Sect's intelligence system extremely uncomfortable, as it is completely unable to predict the Federation's top-secret actions.

The proposal to restart the linked soul guidance array and high-energy compressed soul guidance device has only just appeared on the desk of the Speaker of the Federal Parliament. Undoubtedly, it will be passed, and the Federation will completely break free of its chains and devote itself to archaeological scientific research.

Cao Dezhi recalled many past events, sighed deeply, and said, "Block the news. Don't let this news affect the morale of the Star Luo Empire."

His expression returned to indifference as he continued looking down.

Guo Xiaoxu agreed, secretly admiring the sect leader's composure.

But a few seconds later, he saw a deep look of shock appear on the sect leader's face, his eyes wide open, as if he could hardly believe it.

Guo Xiaoxu probably knew what Cao Dezhi was surprised about, so she wisely lowered her head and remained silent.

After all, he was far more shocked than the sect leader when he saw the news.

Cao Dezhi put down the intelligence report and remained silent for a long time. His face was filled with a complex mix of emotions, including shock, fear, realization, regret, and sarcasm, which finally turned into a wild laugh.

"Hahaha, hahaha—a nineteen-year-old level 96 Super Douluo, the youngest Divine Craftsman in the history of the continent! Yes, how could I forget him? He has the advantage of being so close to Zhenhua!"

The first page of the intelligence report was a summary of the Blood God Legion's battle situation, highlighting the heroic achievements of all soldiers and the Blood God Battalion. However, the second page was practically a personal eulogy to Feng Zaixing.

The youngest Title Douluo in history (Gu Yue expressed strong dissatisfaction but her objections were ineffective), the youngest Super Douluo, the youngest Divine Craftsman and Four-Word Battle Armor Master, the Sun Moon Federation's sharpest sword against foreign invaders —

The various evaluations left Cao Dezhi dazzled.

In addition, the staff of the Spirit Pagoda who compiled the Continental Ranking worked overtime to quickly promote Feng Zaixing from dozens of places behind to second place, second only to Han Hai Douluo Chen Xinjie!

After all, Shrek Academy had already moved away, and Yun Ming had automatically withdrawn from the Douluo Continent's Popularity Ranking.

Among the quasi-gods, Yu Guanjun and Qian Gu Die Ting intentionally avoided Feng Zaixing's sharp edge during the compilation process, Guan Yue was indifferent to worldly affairs, Leng Yao Zhu and Yuan En Zhen Tian were not strong enough, and Feng Zaixing soared to the level of being second only to the Lord of the War God Temple.

As everyone knows, Chen Xinjie's lifespan is nearing its end, which is tantamount to a clear indication to the entire Douluo Continent that he will become the strongest person on the continent in the future.

Upon seeing the numerous effusive praises in the appendix to the intelligence report about the Spirit Pagoda, Cao Dezhi felt a strong sense of absurdity:

Since when did a young man under twenty years old become able to make the older generation of powerful figures across all planes bow their heads? He didn't believe that Qian Gu Die Ting, Yu Guanjun, and Guan Yue really didn't have the strength to fight Feng Zai Xing!

He was once a Blood God, how could he not know the effects of the Blood God Formation?

Those residing at the eye of the Blood God Array can receive the power of the plane, enabling them to directly confront quasi-gods. Quasi-gods residing at the eye of the array can even shake the power of the Abyss Saint King.

He knew even better the true situation of the battle between Yun Ming and Chen Xinjie back then. Chen Xinjie's strength was fully unleashed, and two ordinary quasi-gods were no match for him. Perhaps he could even contend with a true god.

Cao Dezhi felt that the people at the Spirit Pagoda were blinded by his status as a master craftsman, and that they were willing to do anything to praise Feng Zaixing.

However, if he were in his shoes, he would certainly try his best to win him over. Strength can be praised, but the identity of a master craftsman cannot be faked, and there is no point in faking it.

Thinking of this, Cao Dezhi felt as if his heart was being torn apart. He sighed deeply and said dejectedly, "Alas—back then I thought he was only focused on cultivation. Who would have thought he was actually Zhenhua's disciple? What a mistake."

Guo Xiaoxu said in a low voice, "Sect Master, the intelligence network has also sent news that for the first time in history, the Sun Moon Federation has begun to publicly disclose the Abyss Plane to the general public."

"The Blood God Legion used several divine artifacts to plunder the invasion energy of the Abyss Plane. The ecological environment of Douluo Continent improved day by day, the people were in high spirits, the hawks became more and more powerful, and the doves in the opposition almost completely lost power."

Cao Dezhi put down the intelligence report, glanced at Guo Xiaoxu, and said with his eyes narrowed, "I didn't have any hope for those useless people anyway. I didn't expect the Blood God Legion to be able to swallow up the Abyss Plane."

Guo Xiaoxu offered Cao Dezhi a cup of calming tea, lit some tranquil incense, and sighed, "What I least expected was..."

At this juncture, the hawkish conservatives surprisingly did not agree to the radicals' proposal to expand their military, but instead put forward slogans about environmental protection and sustainable development, opposing the idea of ​​a quick victory.

Cao Dezhi's forehead was covered in question marks: ???

Isn't this a term used by doves? How did it get used by hawkish conservatives?

Isn't this script a bit off? The version iterations are happening so fast? Have the hawks and conservatives automatically become doves?

After pondering for a moment, Cao Dezhi glanced down at the triumphant Feng Zaixing in the intelligence report and said with a dark expression, "Could it be—that brat did it again? He's the only one who can influence the hawks and conservatives now."

"Although I hate to admit it, that's really the case."

Guo Xiaoxu nodded honestly and read aloud, "He participated in the meeting remotely as a military advisor to the Blood God Legion, stating that the most urgent task is to come up with a sound and feasible long-term development plan. Otherwise, no matter how many resources are plundered, if they are not used properly, they will surely bring disaster."

"The Blood God Legion gave its full support, as did the Central Legion, the East Sea Legion, and the rebuilt Southern Legion. The Shen family's North Sea Legion was eager to avoid war. Chen Xinjie also agreed with their views and urged the expert group to make a long-term development plan, thus suppressing all the fanatics."

Cao Dezhi covered his face in anguish, his lip turning white as he bit it, and he choked out, "He's not against war; he wants to maximize the benefits of war. That's far more terrifying than those radicals!"

Clearly, Feng Zaixing is completely different from those warmongers of the past. He is agile, capable of being both radical and conservative, able to make money and fight wars, making both sides of the hawks consider him one of their own.

Such a person would be the most terrifying enemy of the Star Luo Continent, or rather, the most terrifying enemy of the rulers of the Star Luo Continent.

After all, their consistent style is to only harm Soul Masters and never ordinary people, and their stance is, to some extent, more "steadfast" than that of the Angel Family.

"Reporting to the Sect Master!"

A titled Douluo from the Soul Hall called out from afar, "His Majesty and the Imperial Advisor invite you to the palace to discuss important matters."

"Okay, I'll get ready and go."

Cao Dezhi looked weak, but still straightened his back and strode out the door.

Guo Xiaoxu hurriedly followed, but what caught her eye was Cao Dezhi's full head of white hair.

"How long can the history of the Tang Clan last?" Guo Xiaoxu sighed inwardly, unable to see the future of the Tang Clan.

Shrek City, atop the Spirit Tower.

Qian Gu Dongfeng also received intelligence reports from the Blood God Legion. Although he lost power, he was still able to maintain his influence through his former subordinates.

But at this moment, he would rather not have seen the news.

"How did such a young boy surpass so many of our veteran Limit Douluos and rank second on the Continental Popularity Ranking?"

Qian Gu Dongfeng slammed his fist on the table, his eyes brimming with intense resentment. As a top expert who had cultivated step by step to become a demigod, he couldn't believe that Feng Zaixing possessed such strength.

It's one thing to break through to Super Douluo with a single thought, but to surpass many quasi-gods in terms of power? Why don't you just say your combat strength surpasses that of the Sea God and Spirit Ice Douluo, who are of the same cultivation level?!

The projection of Feng Zaixing's attack on Halosa was sent back to the Spirit Tower. He studied it many times and concluded that Halosa had already been severely injured by a group of uncivilized Federation experts.

He believed that Feng Zaixing was now invincible below the level of a quasi-god, but he would never believe that Feng Zaixing's strength surpassed that of many experts, including his own father!

A quasi-god can generally defeat three demigods, and his own father's explosive power is the highest among quasi-gods, capable of defeating at least four of him.

"You ask me why? It's because he's a master craftsman, so he deserves this honor."

Qian Gu Die Ting sat on the futon, his aura completely restrained, like an ordinary handsome young man; but his appearance, which was completely inconsistent with his lifespan, undoubtedly reminded the world that he was extraordinary.

Qian Gu Dongfeng looked at his father with resentment and asked, "Even so, why should we voluntarily submit to others? Leng Yaozhu is being far too—"

Qian Gu Die Ting suddenly opened his eyes, emitting two cold beams of light, and shouted, "You still want to seek your own death? Get out of the Qian Gu family genealogy right now!"
