Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Thunder Dragon, A Century of Glory

Chapter 109 The Legend of the Angels of Giant Sword Mountain

"Martial Arts Academy, I have high hopes for you! I hope you will bring more glory to the empire." Xue Qinghe smiled at Yun Yibai, and then put the badge representing honor on Yun Yibai's head.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

The Heaven Dou City division determined five spots to participate in the ranking competition. The other duchies of Heaven Dou City selected ten more advanced soul master academies, bringing the total number of academies participating in the ranking competition in the Heaven Dou Empire to fifteen.

A total of thirty advanced soul master academies from the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire participated in the ranking competition.

In the ranking competition, each college sends out seven members to compete in 1v1 matches. The winner can stay on stage to challenge the next opponent. Only when all seven members of the opposing team are defeated can the team win the match.

The top five teams in terms of wins out of the thirty teams will qualify for the finals.

Ultimately, five advanced soul master academies were selected to travel to Wuhun City to participate in the continent-wide advanced soul master academy elite competition and compete in the finals.

Because teams from both empires were participating, the competition was ultimately held at a place called "Giant Sword Mountain," located at the border between the Heavenly Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire.

……

After resting for a night, the Martial Arts Academy team also set off. This time, the Martial Arts Academy sent its seven main members, led by Yang Wudi and Niu Gao, along with two or three Soul Saints. Dugu Bo was also secretly following behind.

Ning Fengzhi and Xue Qinghe accompanied them, along with the Royal Knights of the Heaven Dou Empire and their commander, Roxon, whose soul power had reached the Soul Douluo level.

There is an even higher level of protective force, namely Sword Douluo Chen Xin.

Shrek Academy's departure time will be slightly later due to Dai Mubai's presence.

After some time, the Martial Arts Academy arrived at the border between the two countries, near Giant Sword Mountain, by carriage.

Giant Sword Mountain truly is a giant mountain peak shaped like a sword blade. Giant Sword Mountain stands on a plain.

"So this is Giantsword Mountain!"

"It really does look like a giant sword!" Oscar and the others exclaimed in amazement when they saw the Giant Sword Mountain in the distance after crossing a hill.

"That's right, this is Giant Sword Mountain, and it's also the main venue for our competition this time." Yang Wudi stood beside the carriage, gazing at the huge mountain peak.

Dugu Yan said, "Legend has it that this region was once the site of a war between gods."

Beneath every divine sword lies a legend, and Giant Sword Mountain is the legendary battlefield of the gods. The tales of gods have always circulated on this continent, and the Spirit Hall is the very force founded by the legendary Angel God.

The Angel God led the people to drive away the Soul Beasts and establish a home for humanity, freeing them from the prey of Soul Beasts. Meanwhile, the Spirit Hall continued to lead humanity step by step, driving the Soul Beasts from their divine pedestal and making humans the overlords of this continent.

"Mount Giantsword, just as its name suggests, resembles a giant sword thrust into the earth. It looks extremely majestic and magnificent, and this giant sword is said to be the sword of the angel goddess. It fought a great battle with the Asura God here, and the battle lasted for 1,010 nights without a victor. The legend says that Mount Giantsword is the giant sword that the angel goddess left behind here."

"Mount Giantsword got its name from this."

Surprisingly, Oscar, who came from a humble background, was completely unaware of this legend.

Not only Oscar, but also Niu Tian, ​​Yang Tai, and even Yun Yibai were unaware of it. The four sect leaders never participated in such competitions, so their clansmen naturally knew very little about them.

Of course, this is just a legend.

"This Giant Sword Mountain is not as simple as it seems."

Ning Fengzhi and Xue Qinghe's convoy was on the other side.

When Sword Douluo Chen Xin saw this place, a trace of sadness appeared in his eyes, which then turned into a resolute gaze. His gaze was as sharp as a sword blade, and he stood on the carriage like a sword.

Seeing this scene, Ning Fengzhi felt a pang of emotion, for there was another legendary story behind Giant Sword Mountain, a story whose truth was known only to a select few.

It was here that Chen Xin's father, Chen Jianjun, with a soul power of level ninety-eight, was defeated by Qian Daoliu.

Back when the Western Sword Master Chen Jianjun roamed the continent, apart from the three peerless Douluo, no one could rival him. His strength as a level 98 peak Douluo made him the strongest swordsman in the world for a time.

Unfortunately, while he was in the Western Stone Kingdom, he learned of a person who was extremely terrifying. His nickname was "Angel Sword." Although Angel Sword did not practice swordsmanship, his swordsmanship was incredibly frightening.

From then on, Chen Jianjun embarked on a journey to find the "Angel Sword." He eventually did find the Angel Sword, but unfortunately, he was no match for his opponent.

"Angel Sword" is Qian Daoliu, and his sword is the "Liangtian" soul bone, which is 99,900 years old.

It's no wonder that Chen Jianjun couldn't defeat him; not only was there a one-level difference in soul power, but their weapons were also far inferior, making it impossible for him to win.

From that moment on, Chen Xin remembered Giant Sword Mountain. He knew it was this place that had caused his father to leave him forever. Although Chen Jianjun, severely injured and unable to heal, told Chen Xin not to seek revenge, there were some things he could never forget.

The hatred stemming from the killing of his father—from that moment on, Chen Xin had already formed a deep-seated grudge against the Spirit Hall. However, he usually didn't reveal it much.

And all of this is just one part of the story at the foot of Giant Sword Mountain. The clash between two top masters, Chen Jianjun and Qian Daoliu, is not the most important story here.

The existence of such a legend about Giant Sword Mountain proves that it is by no means simple. It can be said that Qian Renxue's ascension to godhood is inextricably linked to this place.

This Giant Sword Mountain is not only the venue for the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament, nor merely the place where Qian Daoliu and Chen Jianjun fought, but also the site of the inheritance of angelic deities.

It was in this very place that Qian Daoliu transformed Qian Renxue into the Nine-Star Holy Son, a deity of angels. It was also from this moment that the Spirit Hall fully revealed its true power.

Beside Giantsword Mountain lies a city called Cole, which is where all the participating teams stay.

Of course, it was also because of the selection process for the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, coupled with the legend of Giant Sword Mountain, that the flow of people in Cole City was extremely large.

It's truly rare to see such a lively scene on the border between the Heavenly Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire.

That evening, an unexpected guest visited the Martial Arts Academy.

Yun Yibai and the others only learned of this news when they returned, and then Yun Yibai went to the reception room alone.

When Yun Yibai pushed open the door and entered, he saw Ning Fengzhi beside Yang Wudi. The two were even chatting quite well, with a faint smile on Ning Fengzhi's face, and Yang Wudi's face, unusually, was not stiff. This scene surprised Yun Yibai, as he had always remembered Yang Wudi as serious and unsmiling.

It must be said that Ning Fengzhi is indeed a very capable person.

Due to work, I drove for a long time this afternoon, so I might only be able to write about 6,000 words today. Sorry.
