Douluo Dalu II: The Peerless Tang Sect

Chapter 318 Zhu Ziyang: I've seen this younger sister before!

"Tianyuan Pavilion?" Qian Zhiya and Qian Zhenyu were puzzled but impressed. Shrek Academy's Sea God Pavilion had been reorganized into Tianyuan Pavilion in less than five years. Apart from a few top forces, other soul master forces on the continent were still unaware of this. Therefore, it was perfectly normal for Qian Zhenyu and Qian Zhiya not to know what Tianyuan Pavilion meant.

Although Qian Zhiya and Qian Zhenyu did not know what kind of person the Tianyuan Pavilion Master was, their attitude towards Zhu Ziyang had changed a lot, and at least they no longer dared to look down on him.

Qian Lingyi stayed at home for three days, reuniting with her family before returning to Shrek Academy with Zhu Ziyang. Qian Zhiya learned about the divine position from Qian Lingyi, and instantly lost all resentment towards her granddaughter joining Shrek Academy. What did unfounded hatred matter in the face of divine inheritance?

Shrek Academy, Tianyuan Island.

Zhu Ziyang and Qian Lingyi have been back for a few days now. The first thing they did upon their return was to go to the Treasure Pavilion to select a suitable soul bone for Qian Lingyi. After careful selection, Qian Lingyi fused a left leg bone and a right leg bone. Now, the girl only has her head soul bone and torso bone left to be found.

However, it's good that neither of them cares too much, since with their strength and status, they will eventually be able to complete these two soul bones.

That evening, Tang Ya and Bei Bei found Zhu Ziyang reading a book in Tianyuan Pavilion.

"What do you want from me?" Zhu Ziyang looked at Tang Ya, who looked a little uneasy, and Bei Bei, who looked calm. He could vaguely guess what they wanted to do, but he still asked symbolically.

"Um, Ziyang," Tang Ya seemed hesitant, but then, as if remembering something, her hesitation turned into determination, and she said, "I heard that the rules for this year's Continental Elite Soul Master Competition have changed, allowing sects to participate, is that right?"

"Yes, the specific rules haven't been released yet, but the decision to allow sects to participate has been agreed upon by the four great empires." Zhu Ziyang closed the book, nodded, and said, "So, you want the Tang Sect to participate?"

"Yes, yes!" Tang Ya nodded and said, "Ziyang, as you know, my greatest wish in life is to revive the Tang Sect. To revive the Tang Sect, we must first establish its reputation, and the Soul Master Competition is the best place to do so! Therefore, I want to represent the Tang Sect in the competition!"

"Does Beibei think so too?" Zhu Ziyang didn't answer Tang Ya immediately, but instead turned his gaze to Beibei and asked.

"That's right." Bei Bei glanced at Tang Ya, her eyes full of doting, before looking at Zhu Ziyang and saying, "As the senior disciple of the Tang Sect, I have an unshirkable responsibility."

"If you represent the Tang Sect in the battle, then there won't be enough people to represent the academy, will there?" Zhu Ziyang asked.

"Although," Tang Ya said immediately after hearing Zhu Ziyang's words, "Ziyang, don't you think what you said is a bit too disrespectful to yourself and Nannan? Oh, right, and Yiyi too, the three of you, one Title Douluo and two Soul Saints, even without anyone else, you could sweep through all the participating teams!"

Please, have some mercy and agree to let Beibei and me represent the Tang Clan in the competition!

"Uh!" Zhu Ziyang couldn't help but sigh softly, saying, "Even if I agreed to let the two of you represent the Tang Sect in the competition, you still wouldn't have enough people, would you?"

"Hehe!" Tang Ya scratched her head and laughed sheepishly, "Well, I'm planning to persuade Xu Sanshi and Weiwei to join us, along with Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao. That'll make seven people, hehe!"

"..." Zhu Ziyang looked at Tang Ya speechlessly. He knew that this girl had this idea. He was not surprised at all. In fact, he had expected this scene when he learned that the competition rules had been changed. Everything was in line with his expectations.

It can only be said that the revival of the Tang Sect is an irreversible trend. Whether it is the scheme of the Sea God Tang San or the arrangement of fate, it is something he cannot stop now.

Moreover, he had no intention of stopping them. Rather than going through the trouble of stopping them and pushing the Tang Sect to the opposite side, he might as well give them a push and completely lock the Tang Sect onto Shrek Academy's war machine.

So, after a moment of silence, Zhu Ziyang said, "Okay, I promise you. Whether it's Xu Sanshi, Xue Weiwei, Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, or Xiao Xiao, as long as you can persuade them, I will release them."

"Really? That's great! Thank you, Ziyang!" Tang Ya jumped up excitedly and cheered.

"However, you need to promise me one thing." Zhu Ziyang looked at the excited Tang Ya and chuckled.

"What is it? Tell me, and I'll do anything for you, even if it means going through fire and water." Tang Ya was overjoyed and answered without hesitation.

"Haha, don't worry, I won't make you go through fire and water. It's a very simple matter," Zhu Ziyang said with a smile. "Just establish a rule that the future leaders of the Tang Sect must be graduates of Shrek Academy's inner court, and that will be fine."

"That's it? No problem!" Tang Ya didn't realize there was anything wrong with it. In her opinion, the deep partnership between Tang Sect and Shrek Academy was obviously a really good deal for Tang Sect.

Bei Bei did realize something was amiss, so he gave Zhu Ziyang a deep look but didn't say anything to stop him. First, he was surprised by Zhu Ziyang's attitude towards the Tang Sect. How could he be so optimistic about the future of the Tang Sect? Second, although Bei Bei was the senior disciple of the Tang Sect, he was first and foremost a disciple of Shrek Academy, so he was naturally happy to see the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy deeply intertwined.

Why is Zhu Ziyang so optimistic about the Tang Sect? It can only be said that he was influenced by the book called "Peerless Tang Sect". Since the book is called "Peerless Tang Sect", it should be a normal thing for the Tang Sect to revive and become the number one sect on the continent again, right?

He was just preparing for the worst.

After receiving Zhu Ziyang's permission, Tang Ya left happily. Watching Tang Ya and Bei Bei's departing figures, Zhu Ziyang couldn't help but reveal a strange smile.

The Tang Clan seems to still possess something given to them by the Sea God Tang San at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, right? That's something worth planning.

"Hehe." After the interlude, Zhu Ziyang smiled and then resumed reading his book.

Time flies, and another month has passed. It has been exactly three months since Zhu Ziyang and his companions returned to the mainland, and there are still nine months until the start of the All-Continent Elite Soul Master Tournament held in Mingdu, the capital of the Sun Moon Empire.

That evening, when Zhu Ziyang and Jiang Nannan were returning to Shrek Academy from visiting their parents in Shrek City, they encountered a special girl at the academy gate.

The girl had her back to the two people, but her slender figure and unique temperament made her stand gracefully by the door, as if she were standing at the center of the world, constantly attracting the attention of those around her.

She wore a long white dress that trailed to her ankles, completely concealing her jade-like legs. However, from the exposed, fair ankles alone, one could easily imagine the long, slender, and beautiful legs beneath the dress. Equally striking were the girl's fiery red hair, wavy and flowing smoothly down to her waist.

"Hello." Zhu Ziyang and Jiang Nannan couldn't help but step forward, wanting to find out who this unfamiliar girl was. Zhu Ziyang said, "May I ask what brings you here?"

Upon hearing Zhu Ziyang's voice, the girl immediately turned around to look at Zhu Ziyang and Jiang Nannan. Her face was now revealed to Zhu Ziyang and Jiang Nannan, and both of them couldn't help but show expressions of amazement.

Zhu Ziyang was amazed by the girl's appearance: bright, clear eyes, white teeth, cherry lips, and a delicate nose—a rare and stunning beauty who gave him a strange sense of familiarity. Jiang Nannan, on the other hand, was amazed by the girl's figure, especially her magnificent bosom, which made her feel inexplicably inferior.

"Who are you?" the strange girl asked, but when she saw Zhu Ziyang, a slight ripple flashed in the depths of her eyes, which still caught Zhu Ziyang's attention. Her voice was sweet and soft, completely unlike the voice a woman of her appearance should have; it sounded somewhat coquettish.

"I am..." Zhu Ziyang was puzzled and increasingly felt that there was something wrong with the girl's background. On the surface, he remained calm and smiled as he prepared to introduce himself and Jiang Nannan. However, he was interrupted by a voice that was also female but very familiar to him.

"Huan'er, it's all done. Come with me!"

Upon hearing the voice, Zhu Ziyang subconsciously looked over and saw the bright and beautiful girl he knew very well.

"Sister Tao!" he exclaimed unexpectedly.
