Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Saint Master, Twelve Talismans Chaotic the Continent

Chapter 36 A Gentleman's Revenge

……

"You two... are you here to freeload a meal?"

As soon as all the dishes were served, Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong ran over, and Tang Yuehua got up to greet them.

A scene of joy and harmony.

However, Nan Feng, who was just looking forward to enjoying some time alone with his partner, wasn't so welcoming of the two of them.

Damn it! Couldn't you two have waited until I finished eating before coming?

"Uh..." Ning Fengzhi was momentarily speechless.

To be honest, this was the first time he had encountered such a problem.

Great!

"Oh, don't be angry, this meal is on me." Gu Rong sat down next to Nan Feng with a smile and put her hand on his shoulder.

???

Gu Rong was taken aback.

Level 40?

"What, are you surprised?" Nan Feng raised an eyebrow.

"Didn't I just say I'm only thirteen? What, didn't you hear me?"

"Uh..." Gu Rong was a little embarrassed.

Is there anything more embarrassing than being caught eavesdropping?

Yes! They eavesdropped and then walked right into it!

"Young man, you're quite promising!" Gu Rong quickly forgot his earlier embarrassment and began his awkward flattery.

"Alright, just ask me whatever you want to know," Nan Feng said.

"Even if you want to find out the Spirit Hall's top secrets, it's not something we can't discuss."

"???"

Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong exchanged a glance.

I was completely bewildered.

What's going on??

Isn't this kid from the Spirit Hall?

"Hey, you two, don't be so vulgar." Nan Feng started eating on his own, after all, he really had never eaten anything good.

"Since I'm just working anyway, what difference does it make who I work for?"

"If you can offer a price that tempts me, I might be willing to be a double agent for you in the Spirit Hall."

The corporate culture of the Spirit Hall organization is so deeply ingrained that Bibi Dong cannot shake it in a short time. She can only follow the ideas of those people to carry out her career, and only after she has enough power can she start doing what she wants to do.

Just like in the original storyline, the Spirit Hall grew stronger under Bibi Dong's leadership. If the Spirit Hall had declined day by day under her control, Qian Daoliu and the others would have eliminated it long ago. Even if Bibi Dong wanted to destroy the Spirit Hall, she would first have to have the ability to destroy the organization.

If you want to destroy something, you must first make it go mad.

The Martial Soul Empire, unifying the world, lasting for thousands of generations—what a huge pie in the sky!

"Hehe, Elder Nanfeng is joking." Ning Fengzhi didn't take it seriously.

The relationship between the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Spirit Hall is still quite good. After all, most spirit master forces dare not trade directly with the Spirit Hall and can only use the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School as an intermediary. Therefore, their relationship with the Spirit Hall is at least on the surface acceptable.

The only sect that openly broke with the Spirit Hall was the Clear Sky Sect.

"Do you think I'm joking?" Nan Feng asked, his expression unchanged.

Ning Fengzhi's expression changed slightly. "It seems Elder Nanfeng doesn't feel much of a sense of belonging to the Spirit Hall."

"A sense of belonging?" Nan Feng raised an eyebrow.

"This is ridiculous. I've only been listed as a member of the Spirit Hall; I haven't received a single thing. How can I possibly feel a sense of belonging to that wretched place?"

"I risked so much to fight the Haotian Sect to the death, and when I came back, all I got were a few empty words of praise and a useless elder title. If I hadn't been unable to beat those bastards, I would have turned against them on the spot."

He initially thought being an honorary elder was something amazing, but it turned out to be just a title with no real benefits.

When he's out in the world, people respect him. Xue Ye was able to give him five million because Yue Guan was by his side, because his relationship with Pope Bibi Dong was unclear, and because both of them were titled Douluo, not because of that useless honorary elder title.

In other words, he risked his life to kill two elders of the Haotian Sect and all he got was a certificate that was completely useless!

There's nothing of substance to it!

"Screw the stupid Elder Hall, do you think I care about this crappy elder title?" Nan Feng complained.

"Give me back my glory, my honor! Can glory put food on the table?"

"They all think it's such an honor for a Soul Master like me to stand alongside those Title Douluos. Honor my ass!"

The atmosphere at the ceremony where the honorary elder was conferred was just like that of a damn pyramid scheme!

Do you think you can fool him like a three-year-old?

"This..." Ning Fengzhi was puzzled.

"Elder Nanfeng, you really... didn't get any benefit at all?"

That can't be right, can it? If what the Spirit Hall claims is true, it was Elder Nanfeng who turned two elders of the Clear Sky Sect against each other, causing internal strife within the Clear Sky Sect and a great victory for the Spirit Hall.

Even if they're stingy, they shouldn't give you absolutely nothing, right?

"If you don't believe me, go ask around yourself," Nan Feng said irritably.

"Those idiots didn't give me a single gold coin, except for a couple of flattering words!"

"This outfit was all bought for me by Bibi Dong with her own salary."

Ning Fengzhi's eye twitched slightly, and he roughly guessed the reason. "Elder Nanfeng, you belong to the Papal Palace, right?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" Nan Feng asked.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

"No wonder then." Gu Rong realized as well.

It was evident from the previous papal coronation ceremony that there was a problem in the relationship between the new pope and the Presbyterian Church.

Nan Feng's contributions in the battle between the Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect were too great. If he were to be rewarded, it would require approval from the Elders' Council. However, it is clear that the elders of the Elders' Council currently have no intention of supporting Bibi Dong, the new Pope.

and so……

"I've been implicated?" Nan Feng was taken aback.

Because the Elders disliked Bibi Dong, and he was associated with her, giving him a reward would be tantamount to aiding the enemy. Therefore, they gave him nothing.

What the hell is this bureaucracy?!

The Han University Gang? Or the Thousand Families Gang?

"Am I helping Bibi Dong fight against the Haotian Sect?" Nan Feng couldn't help but ask.

"Isn't this just helping the Spirit Hall save face?"

"If that idiot Qian Xunji hadn't insisted on stealing other people's things, would he have gotten beaten up like that?"

Ning Fengzhi's eye twitched violently, while Gu Rong couldn't help but laugh.

It's true that the Spirit Hall started this whole thing, as everyone knows. But the problem is that the Clear Sky Sect is no longer the Clear Sky Sect it used to be. Even if the Spirit Hall is being unreasonable, they still have to accept it.

Ultimately, whoever has the bigger fist is right.

If Tang Chen of the Clear Sky Sect were still alive back then, let alone Tang Hao having a 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast by his side, even if Tang Hao took that transformed soul beast for a stroll in Wuhun City, Qian Xunji wouldn't dare to utter a single word!

"So, why don't you go and cause a ruckus at the Elders' Hall?" Gu Rong said with a smile.

"What nonsense." Nan Feng rolled his eyes at Gu Rong.

"Those idiots are all Title Douluo, do you think I'd go and cause trouble? Am I crazy?"

"A gentleman takes revenge, even after ten years!"

Gu Rong paused for a moment, then said, "Ten years is too short. Even with your talent, it will take at least twenty more years."

A Soul Master at the age of thirteen—with such talent, it's no wonder Bibi Dong spread those rumors. Given time, he will definitely become another Title Douluo, and moreover, a peak Douluo of level ninety-five or above. He might even reach the level of Tang Chen of the Clear Sky Sect back then.

I just don't know what type of martial soul this kid has. After reaching the Soul Saint level, the difference between soul power levels can be completely made up for by the quality of the martial soul.

Take Haotian's true form, for example. Once activated, even a Soul Douluo wouldn't dare to take it head-on.

Back then, Tang Chen made great strides, stepping out of the Clear Sky Sect with the cultivation of a Soul Saint, and never lost a titled Douluo!

Even the Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall, who was once considered one of the two great figures in the Spirit Master world, had never achieved a decisive victory with him; at least, they had never heard of it.

Decades have passed. The Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall has retired from the world of spirit masters, only appearing on special occasions. Tang Chen of the Clear Sky Sect has also suddenly disappeared, his whereabouts unknown, and it is unknown whether he is still alive.

However, judging from the Spirit Hall's attitude towards the Clear Sky Sect in this battle, even they probably don't know Tang Chen's fate. Otherwise, with such a good opportunity, the Elder Hall and those hidden elders would not have remained inactive.

In fact, throughout the entire war, the Spirit Hall never once set foot inside the Clear Sky Sect's mountain gate!

It's highly likely they're wary of Tang Chen's life or death.

The wrath of a mere Title Douluo is difficult to handle, but Tang Chen is a legendary level 99 Peerless Douluo!

If such a person were driven mad, the people of the Spirit Hall would probably have to live their entire lives hiding in Spirit City, seeking the protection of that Grand Elder.
