Douluo: The Gate to Heaven

"Old Qian, I knew it was you as soon as I saw you reeking of money. What, are you trying to take advantage of my Martial Soul Department students again?" Yan Shaozhe said with a smile, looking at Qian Duoduo who had just arrived.

"What do you mean you're a student of the Martial Soul Department? Don't forget, there were two disciples from the Soul Guidance Department in this freshman assessment. I came to see my Soul Guidance Department students dominating the field. What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Qian Duoduo said irritably.

"A disciple of the Soul Guidance Department?" Yan Shaozhe's smile vanished. He frowned and looked at Du Weilun.

Those who made it to the semifinals are all geniuses among geniuses. It would be a loss for the Martial Soul System if any of them were poached by the Soul Guidance System. The Soul Guidance System actually managed to secretly poach two of them at once.

Du Weilen explained in a low voice, "Dean, both of Tu Nan Bupo's teammates are special recruits from the Soul Guidance Department..."

After hearing Du Weilun's explanation, Yan Shaozhe breathed a sigh of relief. He almost really thought that Qian Duoduo had used underhanded tricks to deceive him and steal his outstanding disciples from the Martial Soul system. He didn't expect that they were just two Soul Masters with average talent who were carried away by the successor of the Tu Nan family.

Students like Song Qinghan are a dime a dozen in the Martial Soul Department. Without Tu Nan Bupo and Tuoba Wukong, they would have had a hard time even qualifying for the preliminary rounds.

As for Tuoba Wukong, his innate divine strength does have certain advantages in the development of low-level Soul Masters, but as Soul Masters improve their Soul Power, even the power enhanced by Beast Soul Martial Soul Attachment is no less than that of innate divine strength, so its value in cultivation is generally average.

However, Yan Shaozhe seemed to have thought of something when he saw the first soul ring in a thousand years. He looked at Qian Duoduo and said in surprise, "That Tuoba Wukong is the student who was affected by the thousand-year-old Purple Void Sable. He actually didn't die? Old Qian, you old guy actually tricked me. Give me back those resources."

Qian Duoduo said irritably, "Yan Shaozhe, you really have no shame. Your disciple caused such a huge disaster, almost killing the future successor of the Soul Guidance Department whom I painstakingly recruited. What's a little bit of resources as compensation? If he dies, I'll fight you to the death."

"The successor of the Soul Guidance Department?" Yan Shaozhe was surprised and couldn't help but turn his gaze back to the arena, abandoning his idea of ​​abducting Tuoba Wukong.

Originally, although Tuoba Wukong's talent for cultivation was a bit lacking, his martial soul system had enough resources and potions to enhance his soul power, which could have turned him into a master. Moreover, Tuoba Wukong's first soul ring was a thousand-year soul ring, and his martial soul was a rare space-type martial soul, so he had great potential in the future.

Yan Shaozhe doesn't want to let any of these promising talents slip by.

But he knew exactly how much weight Qian Duoduo's words carried.

Although the strength of the Soul Guidance Department is not as great as that of the Martial Soul Department, it is still second only to him in Shrek Academy.

The successor of the Soul Guidance Department is equivalent to the future dean of the Soul Guidance Department and the vice dean of Shrek Academy. In terms of status, he is second only to the senior sister of the inner academy and Zhang Lexuan, the designated successor of Shrek Academy.

Even though Qian Duoduo hasn't announced it yet, and only has this intention, it's enough to show how much he values ​​this student.

On the arena.

Faced with the combined attack of Cui Yajie and Zhu Lu, Tuoba Wukong made a thought, and the Tongtian Gate descended. The gate opened slightly, and the thousand-year soul ring technique blocked in front of Zhu Lu, also blocking Cui Yajie's view.

Hundreds of claw shadows fell, but Tongtian Gate remained unmoved despite the blessing of the thousand-year soul ring technique.

shhhhh!

Song Qinghan fired his crossbow, and several sharp arrows flashing with cold light pierced the air.

Zhu Lu dodged all the arrows with a single flash. Her speed was so fast that she left afterimages in the air, blinking away from the front of Tongtian Gate and launching a surprise attack on Tuoba Wukong from the side.

The terrifying defensive power of Tongtian Gate shocked even Tuoba Wukong.

On the other side, Cui Yajie also rushed up, her two furry tails piercing through the air and sweeping directly towards Tuoba Wukong.

Her martial soul is the Nine-Tailed Fox, which is also a top-tier beast martial soul. With each additional soul ring, she gains an extra tail. When all nine tails are gathered, she possesses incredible power.

This fluffy tail looks incredibly soft, but it contains Cui Yajie's second soul skill, Fox Tail Needle. Soul power is poured into the fox tail's fur like needles. Once the fox tail hits a vital point, there is only one way out: death.

The two, one on the left and one on the right, worked together very well.

Cui Yajie and Zhu Lu understood that Tuoba Wukong was the biggest obstacle in their battle. After defeating Tuoba Wukong, Song Qinghan could be easily eliminated. Only by combining the strength of the three of them could they defeat Tu Nanbupo.

Therefore, their goals are very clear.

"Little brother, am I pretty?" Cui Yajie, who already had a mature appearance, tossed her long pink hair, and her mature and charming features blossomed into a smile that could topple kingdoms, making people's hearts flutter, and her voice could make people's bones melt.

However, faced with Cui Yajie's allure, all that awaited her was a cold, heavy iron shield.

"How ungrateful you are!" Cui Yajie said coquettishly, but the fox tail behind her showed no mercy, slamming it hard into the heavy iron shield.

Only by truly experiencing the sturdiness of the giant shield in Tuoba Wukong's hands can one realize how indestructible it is. Cui Yajie felt as if her fox tail had crashed into an impenetrable wall, and the needle-like condensed soul power on it was about to dissipate, but the giant shield remained completely unmoved.

On the other side, what awaited Zhu Lu was the mysterious silver gate to heaven. The silver portal, which opened only a barely visible crack, was like a barrier separating heaven and earth. No matter how swift her attack was, she could never cross the threshold.

Cui Yajie and Zhu Lu's expressions changed. Their full-force attacks, which contained their respective second soul skills, could not even scratch Tuoba Wukong's defense.

Seeing this, Yan Shaozhe couldn't help but nod slightly, his appreciation for talent stirring once more. He looked at Qian Duoduo and said, "Old Qian, this Tuoba Wukong has amazing insight and is adept at using the dual-shield tactic. It's a waste to keep such a talent in your Soul Guidance Department. Why don't you name your price and keep him in the Martial Soul Department?"

"What do you mean it's a waste to keep such a talent in our Soul Guidance Department? Old Yan, can't you speak properly? Let me tell you, don't even think about getting your hands on Tuoba Wukong. This kid's existence has the potential to change the situation of soul guidance technology between us and the Sun Moon Empire. This kind of person is not going to be given to your Martial Soul Department, not even if you exchange Tu Nan Bupo and Dai Huabin. Old Yan, just give up on him." Qian Duoduo said decisively.

"Huh? Change the situation regarding the Sun Moon Empire's soul guidance technology..." Yan Shaozhe gasped, looking at Qian Duoduo, and said, "Old Qian, have you gone crazy from the shock of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy? Are you starting to daydream? Do you know how big the gap is between your soul guidance department and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy?"

Qian Duoduo snorted coldly, "Just wait and see."

Seeing that Qian Duoduo didn't seem to be joking, Yan Shaozhe couldn't help but re-examine Tuoba Wukong on the stage. Apart from realizing that Tuoba Wukong's strength was indeed remarkable and that he was truly born with superhuman strength, Yan Shaozhe couldn't find any other reason why Qian Duoduo valued him so much.

Yan Shaozhe's heart skipped a beat, and he said, "Old Qian, how about this? Let's make a bet on who will win between Tuoba Wukong's team and Dai Huabin's team. If I win, you can lend me this little guy to play with for a few years. If I lose, you can choose any three disciples from this year's Martial Soul Department, excluding the core disciples. How about it?"

"No betting, no betting. Don't even think about messing with Tuoba Wukong. Even if you include the core disciples, I won't bet." Qian Duoduo shook her head decisively.

Yan Shaozhe rolled his eyes at Qian Duoduo and said, "You old rascal, you really dare to think big. Here's what we'll do: I'll add another chip. If you win, not only will you get the next two spirit rings, but I'll also provide all the spirit beasts that this kid needs for all his spirit rings in the future."

"As you know, space-type soul beasts are incredibly difficult to capture and hunt. Your soul guidance system might not even have the capability to hunt all the soul beasts for this kid."

The Soul Guidance System is characterized by its wide-ranging and powerful attacks, making it suitable for large-scale battles. In terms of hunting and killing Soul Beasts, especially Space-type Soul Beasts, which are known for being difficult to deal with, the Martial Soul System is undoubtedly more professional in this regard.

Qian Duoduo thought for a moment and finally relented, saying, "Okay, I'll bet. But the first condition still applies. I don't want three; I'll only choose one. If I win, you can't make a move on Tuoba Wukong, and you can't make a move on the student I choose either."

Yan Shaozhe laughed and said, "I knew you were up to no good, but I'll grant your wish. I'll bet on Dai Huabin and his team to win."

Qian Duoduo glanced at Yan Shaozhe with a cold smile and said, "You little brat, you're really cunning and treacherous. Don't think I don't know what you're up to. It's just the Martial Soul Fusion Technique of the White Tiger Clan and the Netherworld Clan, right? I'll bet with you. I bet Tuoba Wukong will win."

"You know?" Yan Shaozhe was surprised and looked at Qian Duoduo, wondering where Qian Duoduo's confidence came from.

Qian Duoduo sneered, "I'm the dean of the Soul Guidance Department, but I'm also a Soul Master. I know the infamous Netherworld White Tiger. You chose to bet on Dai Huabin and his group to win at this time, what else could it be but the Netherworld White Tiger?"

In the current situation, Tuoba Wukong and his group undoubtedly have the upper hand.

The White Tiger Martial Soul is a top-tier Martial Soul that is no less powerful than the Tu Nan Spear. Its combat strength is definitely no less than that of the Tu Nan Spear. However, don't forget that Tu Nan Bu Po is not just at level 31, but a level 34 Soul Master. Dai Hua Bin's Soul Power has only just reached level 31. Level 3 Soul Power is enough to influence the balance of a battle.

Despite the disunity among the people, the Tu Nan family was still able to rival the White Tiger family, thanks to the extraordinary cultivation speed of the Tu Nan family's descendants.

If the fight continues, Dai Huabin will undoubtedly lose in a one-on-one situation.

Meanwhile, the combined attack of Cui Yajie and Zhu Lu was also firmly blocked by Tuoba Wukong.

Time was on Tuoba Wukong's side.

Yan Shaozhe dared to choose Dai Huabin because Dai Huabin still had a trump card. As for what that trump card was, did we even need to guess?
