In Douluo Continent, Tang San raids my base right from the start.

Chapter 427 Qian Daoliu won again.

In April, the sun shines warmly, the fields are lush with grass and vibrant with flowers, and it is the height of the Spring Festival.

The three-year period has come to an end, and Zhu Wu arrives at the gate.

"Your Majesty the Dragon God!" Judy's wife, Tracy, who was feeding the chickens and ducks in the front yard, was the first to notice and quickly stopped what she was doing and ran forward to pay her respects.

"No need for formalities," Zhu Wu said with a smile. "You are my disciple's mother, so by seniority you are my peer."

"Just call me Brother Yingtian, don't make me sound old."

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Cui'er's face, and she smiled shyly, "Brother Yingtian!"

Zhu Wu smiled. "Where's Xiao Wu?"

"I was tired from playing this morning, so I'm sleeping in my room," Cui'er said.

"Then let him sleep first." Zhu Wu nodded, then said, "Xiao Wu is already 3 years old, it's time for him to learn some knowledge. However, some basic knowledge doesn't need me to teach him personally. So, I plan to send him to the kindergarten in Wuhun City for a period of time. Xiao Wu is still young, and he will feel a little uncomfortable without you by his side, so he will come with me this time."

"Brother Yingtian, this isn't quite right," Cui'er said somewhat nervously. "Wuhun City is a sacred place for Soul Masters, while we are just ordinary people."

"If I say you can do it, then you can," Zhu Wu said. "Aren't you good at planting? I'll have someone allocate a plot of land for you so you can grow some fruits and vegetables to pass the time. Consider it a special treat for us old folks."

Cui'er hesitated to make a decision and replied, "Brother Yingtian, let's wait until Grandpa and the others return to discuss this together."

"They've all gone to the fields; they should be back soon."

"Okay." Zhu Wu nodded gently.

An hour later, after lunch and packing their things, Zhu Wu, along with Zhu Gang and his in-laws, took off and left the village.

Several hours later, they arrived at their residence in Wuhun City and immediately summoned Qian Xunji.

Although called a city, Wuhun City covers a considerable area. Bounded by Mount Papa, it faces south, with flat land in front and mountains behind, making it a large city, no smaller than the capitals of the two great empires. Due to the rule that only Soul Masters are allowed to enter, the permanent population is not large. Naturally, carving out a piece of mountainous land was not difficult. After careful selection, Zhu Wu chose a site next to the Wuhun Hall Academy, a place nestled against the mountains and beside the water.

In fact, there was no need to build anything. Zhu Wu personally took action and directly mobilized the elements of heaven and earth to create a small mountain village and cultivate the fields.

Afterwards, the two families moved here. The surplus vegetables and fruits they grew were then supplied to the college.

Zhu Wu also officially settled there, so that he could occasionally supervise his apprentice's studies.

Then Bibi Dong also chose a small house, saying that she would come here occasionally for a vacation and to ask questions about cultivation.

While Zhu Wu was settling down in a mountain village to live a leisurely life, on the other side, Tang Chen of the Haotian Sect emerged from seclusion.

A few days later, he arrived at Wuhun City and challenged Qian Daoliu to another duel.

Zhu Wu didn't bother to go to the scene in person and continued to stay at home, observing from a distance.

And as a result, Sendoru won again.

Although Qian Daoliu hasn't yet mastered the Ring Fusion Technique, he has, under Tang Chen's guidance, grasped a lower-tier version—the so-called Ring Explosion Technique. Furthermore, he has condensed a second soul core. Thus, aside from a slight difference in raw power, he completely overwhelms Tang Chen in every other aspect.

We can win, that's only natural!

Tang Chen has indeed improved his use of the energy after the ring explosion. He no longer floods his body with energy to boost his overall attributes, but has learned to break it down into his limbs, enhancing speed and arm strength. His skills have also become more refined, but ultimately, he is still slightly inferior.

Although he was disappointed after the defeat, he didn't say anything and calmly admitted defeat.

Qian Daoliu, both a rival and a friend, did not kick him while he was down. Instead, he comforted him, saying, "Tang Chen, I only made such progress because of the guidance of my seniors. But you have reached this level solely through your own comprehension, which is truly remarkable. If we were in the same situation, I'm afraid I wouldn't be as good as you."

"There's no need to belittle yourself. Luck is also part of strength," Tang Chen said calmly. "Moreover, if it weren't for that battle with the senior, I wouldn't have realized my own shortcomings and made such progress in such a short time."

"I accept defeat wholeheartedly in this battle."

"Don't worry, failure will only motivate me to keep moving forward, allowing me to constantly identify and improve my shortcomings."

"That's the fun of fighting."

He chuckled as he spoke, "Qian Daoliu, it's hard to say whether you'll be able to beat me next time."

Qian Daoliu smiled as well, "Let's each strive to do our best. Compared to our seniors, we both still have a long way to go."

Tang Chen nodded slightly, then asked, "Qian Daoliu, after I came out of seclusion, I heard that the Angel God descended not long ago. Is that true?"

He has never seen a god in his life.

"It is indeed true." Qian Daoliu said, "Last year, our Spirit Hall learned that there was an island overseas called Devil Island, where many Sea Spirit Masters lived. In order to investigate, we sent the Holy Maiden to make contact, but a conflict broke out. Later we learned that it was a place that worshipped the Sea God and was called Sea God Island, where there was a powerful person who had reached our level."

"Because the Holy Maiden was attacked by the island's guardian beast, which alarmed the Dragon God Senior."

"What's the outcome?" Tang Chen asked succinctly.

Qian Daoliu naturally understood that Tang Chen was referring to the battle between his senior and Poseidon, and responded directly.

"Of course, Senior Dragon God won. Senior not only defeated the island's guardian beast clan, but also defeated that powerful figure, and even personally killed the Sea God."

The angel god had already sent down a divine message, informing him that Seagod Island worshipped the angel god. It had now been renamed Heavenly Dragon Island and had begun spreading its faith; sooner or later, it would make contact with the mainland. He knew this news couldn't be kept secret any longer, and he felt there was no point in hiding it.

Moreover, isn't this also a form of deterrence?

"My god descended to the mortal realm to deal with this matter," he continued.

God of Slaughter? Tang Chen's expression changed in surprise.

Becoming a god at level 100 is undoubtedly the dream and ultimate cultivation goal of all soul masters on the continent. But such a being was actually killed by the Dragon God Douluo. Does that mean that the Dragon God Douluo's combat power has also reached the god level?

This is not good news for the Haotian Sect.

After all, his grandson Tang Hao had offended the Dragon God Douluo. Although the other party did not punish him severely, it still left a bad impression.

So, what was the angel's decision?

"Tang Chen, I've been meaning to travel to that island soon to spar with its high priest," Qian Daoliu's voice came. "Would you like to come along?"

"That's exactly what I was thinking!" Tang Chen replied immediately.

He would certainly not miss the opportunity to spar with someone of equal strength.

"Then let's meet in Hanhai City a month from now, how about that?" Qian Daoliu said.

"Okay." Tang Chen nodded.

He just finished using the Ring Explosion technique today and needs time to rest. Also, he needs to explain the sect's affairs before setting off.

A few days later, at the Haotian Sect.

"What? His Majesty the Dragon God killed a god?" Tang Wei was shocked when he heard the news from his father.

Not far away, Tang Hao stood there dumbfounded, finding it hard to accept this explosive news.

That old guy is so powerful, can I really keep up with him? I'm starting to doubt my existence.

Becoming a god at level 100 is the ultimate dream of everyone in the Soul Master world, but no one has achieved it in nearly 10,000 years.

Although he was confident in his own talent, he had absolutely no confidence in becoming a god.

"Hao'er, from now on, when you are out in the world, remember not to speak ill of His Majesty the Dragon God!" Tang Wei turned his head and said very solemnly.

"I understand," Tang Hao replied softly, then looked at his grandfather, Tang Chen.

"Grandpa, did Qian Daoliu mention to you the Angel God's handling of the Dragon God's senior?"
