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

Chapter 153 Yun Yibai's Status in the Academy, An Invitation!

Sword Douluo and his group couldn't stop the four princes of the royal banner. If a titled Douluo is determined to leave, it won't be easy to stop him.

However, although Wang Qi's four sons escaped, the six Soul Douluos who attacked all perished here. Including the other casualties, more than sixty Soul Masters died in this attack.

During the title-sealing battle, Dugu Bo could indeed appear, but if he had followed Chen Xin's appearance closely, he wouldn't have been able to achieve the result of annihilating six Soul Douluos. Nor would he have been able to force Wang Qi's four sons to leave earlier.

The main reason why Wang Qi's four sons chose to retreat was that the Soul Douluo who was holding Yang Wudi back was gone, and the pressure they faced suddenly increased.

On Yun Yibai's side, the students of the four elemental academies were mostly unharmed, but Xue Qinghe's Heavenly Dou Royal Knights lost more than ten people.

The casualty ratio is very high, isn't it!

This is because Yun Yibai and his group had several support-type Soul Masters, and even more so, Ye Lingling, their great healer; otherwise, they wouldn't have had such a good outcome.

Of course, the vast majority of those who died were low-level Soul Masters.

After the battle, Ye Lingling continued to treat the injured.

……

"Many thanks to Sect Master Ning and Sword Douluo for their assistance!" Yun Yibai was naturally grateful for their help.

"Hehehe!"

Ning Fengzhi chuckled lightly, looking at Yun Yibai with a friendly gaze. "Young friend Yun, you are too kind. You are exceptionally talented and a fine talent of our empire. You recently brought glory to our Heavenly Dou Empire in the competition. As Qinghe's teacher and a subject of the empire, I, Ning, naturally would not stand idly by!"

"Furthermore, young friend Yun is from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect. The three upper sects are naturally closely connected, and it is only right that our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect supports each other. Today's matter is nothing more than a trivial matter, young friend Yun need not worry about it."

"Moreover, I, Ning Fengzhi, understand the principle of 'if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold'." Some things are better left unsaid; everyone understands what's meant to be.

Although the four sons of Wang Qi did not explicitly state their affiliation, people of Ning Fengzhi's status knew all too well what kind of people the Spirit Hall was.

This brings us to one thing: on this continent, the vast majority of titled Douluo have left their names in the Douluo Hall.

However, this does not mean joining the Spirit Hall. The Douluo Hall is the most special place in the Spirit Hall, unlike the Papal Hall and the Hall of Offerings. It is the highest "power organ" of the Spirit Hall. The Douluo Hall is actually more like an administrative unit, where all Title Douluos register an identity document.

Moreover, after registering with the Spirit Hall, one becomes an officially recognized Title Douluo who will be acknowledged wherever they go. They don't need to reveal their Martial Soul or Soul Rings; the Spirit Hall will directly announce the news of a Title Douluo from the beginning.

Therefore, once a Soul Master becomes a Title Douluo, they will go to the Spirit Hall for identity verification. After the verification, the Spirit Hall will announce it to celebrate the addition of another Title Douluo to the continent.

Once a Title Douluo goes there, they will definitely be recruited by the Spirit Hall. The vast majority of Soul Masters who become Title Douluos choose to stay with the Spirit Hall because of the status, position, and high treatment promised to them.

But there are exceptions... Dugu Bo is a good example.

When Dugu Bo became a Title Douluo, it was because he didn't want to be controlled that the Spirit Hall wanted to punish him, which led to the small grudge between Dugu Bo and Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan.

It's impossible for Wang Qi's four sons not to register with the Spirit Hall. Therefore... all the major powers in the Spirit Master world are aware of the Spirit Hall's corrupt practices.

The four sons of Wang Qi became Title Douluos, and they joined the Spirit Hall in complete secrecy, making the Spirit Hall's ambitions almost completely undisguised. Of course, this is Ning Fengzhi's perspective.

Sword Douluo Chen Xin remained silent as always, merely nodding slightly in response to Yun Yibai's gratitude. His eyes, however, revealed a hint of admiration; he greatly appreciated Yun Yibai's display of strength and courage at such a young age. He had witnessed Yun Yibai's previous performance firsthand—high talent, excellent strength, and decisive action.

Ning Rongrong, who was following behind Ning Fengzhi, was also staring at him with her big eyes wide open.

She was naturally curious about Yun Yibai, who had defeated Shrek Academy and thwarted the Spirit Hall's championship victory. Of course, she was even more curious about the achievements Yun Yibai had made at such a young age.

"After this battle, the reputation of Martial Arts Academy will surely become even more renowned, and the future of young friend Yun and your friends is limitless," Ning Fengzhi continued, his words carrying a hint of sincerity.

Upon hearing this, Yun Yibai smiled modestly, "Sect Leader Ning, you flatter me!"

"Haha, there's no need to be so modest. For a genius like you, excessive modesty will only make people look down on you, which is not good for your development."

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Ning Fengzhi got down to business, "Young friend Yun, you have already caught the attention of the Spirit Hall. Today's events are probably just the beginning. The Spirit Hall is ambitious, and they will not let this matter rest."

"Your talent, and the talent of the rest of your academy, already poses a threat to the Spirit Hall."

"The people who attacked you today were from the Fire Leopard Sect, one of the four lower sects. If it weren't for the Spirit Hall's tacit approval, they wouldn't have dared to attack you so easily."

"Young friend, Clan Chief Yang, Clan Chief Niu, Your Majesty Dugu, I have a suggestion." Ning Fengzhi began to get to the point.

Dugu Bo: "Don't underestimate me. I always leave these kinds of things to this kid."

"He can represent the entire Martial Arts Academy!" Yang Wudi also said.

Although Niu Gao did not speak, his silence meant that he tacitly agreed to the matter.

When Dugu Bo and the other two tried to shift the blame to Yun Yibai, Ning Fengzhi's gaze towards Yun Yibai became clearer.

"It seems that Yun Yibai holds the reins of power at Martial Arts Academy. This is interesting. A Soul King who is not even twenty years old can actually gain the trust of Title Douluo and a group of Soul Douluo," Ning Fengzhi thought to himself.

"I imagine you all know just as much about the Spirit Hall as I do. Their ambitions are crystal clear; over the years, they've been constantly trying to win over spirit masters from all over the land."

Ning Fengzhi analyzed the situation on the mainland. In short, apart from the two great empires and the three upper sects, most of the slightly weaker soul master forces had been lured away by the Spirit Hall through either coercion or enticement.

"The continent, which has been peaceful for a century, is likely to soon be plunged into conflict once again!"

"The power of the Spirit Hall is beyond doubt!" Ning Fengzhi said solemnly.

"The Spirit Hall possesses the largest number of Spirit Masters and the largest number of Title Douluo powerhouses!"

"If it were only the Heaven Dou Empire or my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, we would be no match for them."
