Douluo: Dragon King's Tai Chi Mystery

"A defective product is enough to cause a sensation in the Soul Master world; your name is destined to appear in the annals of Douluo Continent's history."

"Is that so?" Gu Yue remained noncommittal. "Mother, please help me put the Thunder Beast into Experiment Space Zero."

A purple-haired woman in a white coat approached; it was none other than Zi Ji, the Hell Demon Dragon King, who had entered the Spirit Pagoda as the Mother of Ancient Moon and the Purple Dragon Douluo. Her alluring figure swayed with every step. As she took the artificial ten-thousand-year-old thunder beast, she subtly glanced at the Thousand-Year-Old Pavilion, inwardly sneering:

He's a little shorter than the Dragon Queen, twenty points less attractive, and a hundred thousand points less talented. And yet he still wants to be a toad trying to eat swan meat? Heh heh heh!

Ever since the Qian Gu Zhang Ting was used as a control group, the Starry Sky Beasts, including Zi Ji, have taken a liking to Zhao Xuanzhen. The great lord is indeed wise beyond compare, choosing the flawless Dragon Queen!

Seeing that Gu Yue's attitude remained indifferent, Qian Gu Zhangting couldn't help but clench his fists, his grandfather's command flashing in his ears.

Zhao Xuanzhen represents the pinnacle of talent on Douluo Star, while Gu Yue stands at the top of the world's research field. With their combined strength and the immense influence of the ten-thousand-year-old soul spirit, they definitely have a chance to overthrow the ancient families' rule over the Spirit Pagoda.

Qian Gu Dongfeng's task for his grandson was simple and clear: while Zhao Xuanzhen was in seclusion on the Star Luo Continent, he would undermine the foundation of the family and force Gu Yue to side with the Qian Gu family!

To be fair, Qian Gu Zhangting is a man with normal aesthetic sense but greedy desires, and both Na'er and Gu Yue like him.

However, Na'er was spoiled by Leng Yaozhu and Zhao Xuanzhen since childhood. When Qian Gu Zhangting tried to get close to her, the silver-haired girl glared at him and started cursing. Gu Yue, at least, was a little more civilized and ladylike. She didn't say things like, "Take a piss and look at yourself. If you're disgusting, stay away from me..."

Of course, the most important thing is that Gu Yue possesses spatial technology, soul technology, and a mysterious hidden family behind her. Na'er lacks in these aspects, so Qian Gu Dong Feng chose to send Qian Gu Zhang Ting to attack Gu Yue, who has greater benefits.

"Brother Zhangting, it's been a long time."

A clear and melodious voice rang out from behind the Ancient Pavilion. Gu Yue's eyes flickered slightly, and Zi Ji, not far away, revealed a smile. The real Dragon Queen Zhao Xuanzhen has returned as a queen!

"You're back... Brother Xuanzhen." Qian Gu Zhangting forced a smile.

"If I don't come back soon, I'm afraid the people around me will be in danger," Zhao Xuanzhen said indifferently.

"What are you saying? There's no such thing as yours or mine. We're all from the Spirit Pagoda."

“That makes sense. We are all part of the Spirit Pagoda, so what’s yours is also mine.”

Their eyes met, sparks seemingly flying. As Zhao Xuanzhen grew up, his strength increased day by day, causing the relationship between the first and second heirs of the Spirit Pagoda to deteriorate rapidly, with no intention of concealing their respective grand ambitions.

"let's go."

Zhao Xuanzhen extended his hand to Gu Yue, who smiled gently, their fingers intertwined, and they left together in perfect harmony.

The goddess he had been pursuing for so long was now intimately entangled with his biggest rival. Qian Gu Zhangting's breathing suddenly became heavy. He angrily boarded the high-rise elevator and headed to the tower owner's residence on the 107th floor.

The Spirit Pagoda is a simulated cultivation ground, located atop the sea of ​​clouds.

Yuan Enhui stood atop the summit, a white cotton vest tightly wrapped around her delicate body, outlining her breathtakingly full curves. Looking up, however, was a cold and beautiful face, with frost and snow between her brows that kept people at a distance.

A powerful aura, like the extension of towering mountains, spread out, causing the surging sea of ​​clouds to freeze in place.

"boom!"

With a single punch, the vast and boundless sea of ​​clouds in front of him collapsed, and a rapidly spinning vortex of cloud energy instantly formed in front of his fist, roaring forward and devouring everything in its path!

The second punch, the third punch, each punch was heavier and more powerful than the last!

The wind from the fist howled, like a primordial beast that had been sleeping for countless ages stirring up the heavens and earth. The sea of ​​clouds shattered under the force of the fist, constantly torn apart by the fist shadows, turning into fine, drifting clouds.

Whirlpools rose and fell, life and death intertwined, and the vast expanse of clouds surged and churned. Yuan En Hui's figure appeared and disappeared amidst the turbulent clouds and the force of her fist. Just as her fist intent reached its peak and she was about to unleash a full-force attack, a streak of light pierced through the sea of ​​clouds from the depths of the sky and plummeted toward the peak where she stood!

Yuan Enhui's fighting spirit erupted. His right fist was imbued with the Cloud Vortex Fist Intent that he had just honed to the minor completion level. He threw a punch with all his might at the stream of light that tore through the sky, and its power crushed everything in front of him!

A slender hand descended, seemingly slow but actually fast, tracing a rounded path, with yin and yang vortexes flowing silently!

The powerful force of the Cloud Vortex Fist, capable of shaking mountains, touched the flowing Tai Chi vortex. Its fierce power was instantly disintegrated, leaving only a few wisps of softened and tamed white air that dispersed into the surrounding clouds.

Zhao Xuanzhen steadily caught Yuanen Yehui's punch without even swaying. He slowly withdrew his hand, his eyes fixed on Yuanen Yehui's face, which was filled with undisguised astonishment.

"You got punched as soon as you arrived, Yuanen, your way of welcoming people is quite unique."

"You...you are...the living boss!" Yuan Enhui exclaimed, speechless.

"If you see me dead, please don't run away," Zhao Xuanzhen said helplessly.

The two chatted briefly, then left the simulated training area to meet up with Gu Yue. As they headed to the elevator on the 100th floor, Gu Yue asked curiously, "Xuanzhen, what does Aunt Leng want with us?"

"One of the four great spirit messengers is preparing to step down and give way to a more capable person. My teacher hopes that I will take over."

"That's great!" Yuan Enhui exclaimed in delight.

"It's not that easy. Tower Master Qian Gu Dongfeng has already nominated a prospective Spirit Transmission Envoy, who is none other than the heir of the Qian Gu family and the number one candidate for the position of Tower Master... Qian Gu Zhangting."

Chapter 155 The Phoenix Family and the Eighteen Heavenly Pillars, the Women's Arrangements, and the Bet Between the Two Tower Masters (4K)

After many years, the Xuanna Moonlit Night Squad has reunited.

The five sat in a row on the hundredth floor of the Spirit Pagoda, with the Black and White Duo firmly occupying Zhao Xuanzhen's left and right sides. Yuan En Ye Hui leaned against Na'er, while Ye Xing Lan sat beside Gu Yue; they had all chosen the side with whom they were closer to them.

Leng Yaozhu sat opposite the five little ones, her crimson phoenix eyes filled with unprecedented solemnity. Zhao Xuanzhen's return represented the Phoenix Clan in launching their operation, and today's conversation among the six would determine the future of the Phoenix Clan, and even the entire Spirit Pagoda.

“There are two things today that are closely related to all of us,” Leng Yaozhu said slowly. “First, Qian Gu Zhangting broke through to level ninety a week ago and was given the title Panlong. He is only twenty-eight years old.”

As fate would have it, a veteran spirit messenger announced his retirement the very next day, and rumors spread throughout headquarters that Qian Gu Zhangting would succeed him as spirit messenger.

Having been in the Spirit Transmission Tower for many years, you should be familiar with the path to advancement. Including myself and Qian Gu Dongfeng, all the leaders of the Spirit Transmission Tower have climbed up step by step from the five levels: core disciple, prospective spirit transmitter, spirit transmitter, deputy tower master, and tower master.

"Qian Gu Zhang Ting becoming the Spirit Transmission Envoy is actually paving the way for Qian Gu Dong Feng's grandson to inherit the Spirit Transmission Tower, ensuring that the Spirit Transmission Tower will be ruled by the Qian Gu lineage for generations to come."

"How can this be done!"

Na'er jumped up immediately and objected firmly: "Someone like Qian Gu Zhangting is not fit to be the master of the Spirit Transmission Tower. This position must belong to Zhao Xuanzhen!"

“I agree. The position of Master of the Spirit Transmission Tower should be filled by a capable person. Qian Gu Zhang Ting is just an ordinary person and is not qualified to be the Master of the Tower,” Gu Yue said coldly.

Faced with Zhao Xuanzhen's interests, the Black and White Duo quickly united as one, and both of them had been harassed by Qian Gu Zhangting and loathed him to the core.

"Gu Yue is right. / Na'er is right!"

Ye Xinglan and Yuan Enye both agreed, as they had almost no say in matters involving the higher-ups of the Spirit Pagoda.

It's not their fault. After all, Na'er was raised by Leng Yaozhu since she was a child, and Gu Yue had the support of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect and was a rising star in the research field. Compared with the two tough older sisters, Xingye had no choice but to take sides.

Zhao Xuanzhen remained silent, waiting for Leng Yaozhu to speak. Qian Gu Zhangting himself was a good-for-nothing with some talent, but compared to the old tower master Qian Gu Dieting and the current tower master Qian Gu Dongfeng, the crown prince had neither the will to fight against heaven and earth nor the ruthlessness of an ambitious person. The independent crown prince was not difficult to deal with; the focus was on the Qian Gu faction behind him.

Seeing that the women's attitudes were clear and they all sided with Zhao Xuanzhen, Leng Yaozhu nodded slightly and said, "The annual Spirit Pagoda meeting will be held in three days. Apart from the powerful figures guarding the two continents, most of the councilors will be present to attend. At that time, the vacant position of Spirit Pagoda Envoy will be decided."

I will recommend Xuanzhen for the position in my capacity as the deputy tower master of the Spirit Pagoda and the patriarch of the Phoenix Clan. According to the ancestral rules of the Spirit Pagoda, the competitors must determine the winner through a one-on-one duel in front of all the high-ranking members of the Spirit Pagoda.

The strong are respected; this has been an unchanging law in the world of Soul Masters since ancient times.

"A true man born between heaven and earth, how can he remain subservient to others for long!"

Na'er pulled out her silver dragon spear, pointed the tip at the ceiling, and declared passionately, "Let's fight! Let's beat the Ancient Pavilion to a pulp and turn the Spirit Pagoda upside down!"

By the way, Zhao Xuanzhen, what's your cultivation level?

"Soul Saint..."

"That's enough. A seven-ringed opponent beating a nine-ringed opponent, a mere twenty-level difference in soul power, it's standard procedure!"

Na'er is a typical example of someone who grows up in the mud and then plays in it. Having been influenced by Zhao Xuanzhen since childhood, many of her ideas have the shadow of her childhood sweetheart. She even wants to stuff a small note into the belly of a fish with six big characters written on it!

Phoenix rises, King Xuanzhen!

"Now that I've finished talking about the challenges facing Xuanzhen, it's your turn."

Looking at the four stunningly beautiful young women, Leng Yaozhu couldn't help but admire her disciple's exceptional skills. She then said in a deep voice:

"As we all know, excluding the Shrek City Spirit Pagoda headquarters, the core strength of the Spirit Pagoda consists of the eighteen pillars in the first-tier cities of the Sun Moon Federation. Among the eighteen pillars, the four former imperial capitals of Mingdu, Tiandou City, Xingluo City, and Lingdou City are the most respected."

Xuanzhen is competing with Qian Gu Zhangting for the position of Tower Master at headquarters, and I hope you can become his most important assistants. The Qian Gu family has always controlled these four core Heavenly Pillars, and I want to send you into them.

This is both to expand the Phoenix Clan's power and give Xuanzhen more say, and also to prepare for the future, so that if an internal war breaks out someday, Xuanzhen will not be isolated and helpless, and to prevent the various Spirit Pagoda branches from uniting to strongly oppose us.

“Teacher, let’s give up Mingdu,” Zhao Xuanzhen suggested. “Mingdu is the capital of the Sun and Moon Federation, and the center of the Qian Gu family is basically there. We should focus our efforts on controlling the other three cities and cover the other eighteen Heavenly Pillars as much as possible.”

Leng Yaozhu pondered for a moment and nodded slightly: "Don't bite off more than you can chew. Simultaneously planning for the Four Heavenly Pillars is quite a stretch for our current strength."

The plan has been revised. After you graduate from Shrek Academy, Gu Yue will stay at headquarters to refine the research. Na'er, Xinglan, and Yuanen, you will be responsible for leading the Phoenix Clan's trusted confidants to occupy the three core cities.

"You haven't graduated yet?" Zhao Xuanzhen asked in surprise.

"Everyone's waiting for you, you idiot Zhao Xuanzhen."

Na'er made a face. "Xuan Na Yue Xing Ye, the five-person team will walk together for life. Anyone who dares to go solo is a dog."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xuanzhen felt a warmth in his heart. The tender affection revealed in such details was the most heartwarming. It also reminded him of something: it was time to end his connection with Shrek Academy, and from now on, they would go their separate ways.

“Three cities, three people,” Leng Yaozhu said gently. “Na’er, Xinglan, Yuanen, which city will you each go to?”

Heaven Dou City has the Blacksmith Association and the Body Douluo as potential allies, but the ancient factions are powerful. In Star Luo City, the old nobles of the Star Luo royal family are worth noting, while the ancient forces in Spirit Dou City are the weakest, making them slightly easier to conquer.

"Heavenly Dou City!"

Na'er naturally chose Tian Dou City, as only she could speak with two titled Douluo, Zhen Hua and Mu Ye. This was evident in how she pretended to be bullied and asked the divine craftsman Zhen Hua to replace her in the Tianhai Alliance Grand Tournament exhibition match.

At the same time, Tiandou City is the closest to Shrek City, and Na'er can fly over to find Zhao Xuanzhen at any time. She will never allow the Spirit Pagoda headquarters to become Gu Yue's domain!

"Star Luo City".

Ye Xinglan followed suit and made her own decision. In fact, she had not truly joined the Spirit Pagoda. Leng Yaozhu was willing to believe her about such a secret matter, which deeply moved the sword-wielding girl.

After careful consideration, Ye Xinglan resolutely chose Xingluo City because one of her classmates happened to be a descendant of the Xingluo royal family. After years of being classmates, they had a decent relationship, and perhaps she could use this opportunity to get to know each other's elders.

"Then I'll go to Lingdou City."

It didn't matter where Yuan Enhui went; she might as well wait for the cities that were left over.

"okay, I get it."

Leng Yaozhu's eyes were gentle. If it weren't for these outstanding young geniuses as her support, she would never have harbored the ambition to compete with the ancient families for the Spirit Pagoda.

Conquering the core pillar is a trial and test for them. The girls cannot stay in the greenhouse built by Zhao Xuanzhen forever. Spreading their wings and soaring high is the wonderful life that belongs to them.

Xuan Na and Yue Xingye had a daunting task. They looked at each other, realizing they were no longer innocent children. They carried a heavy responsibility on their shoulders, and their separation was for a better tomorrow!

……

Three days later, in the council hall of the Spirit Pagoda.

The light was deliberately suppressed to an extremely low level, illuminating only the key areas while the rest sank into deep shadows.

A lifelike black dragon relief spirals out, as if it has just awakened from the abyss and merges into the obsidian. The circling trajectory forms intricate patterns that cover the floor of the hall.

The dragon head is located directly behind the main seat, its huge mouth open to reveal sharp teeth, and its pair of golden dragon eyes staring at the entire venue.

At the center of the dome is an enormous rose-gold eye, its deep pupils seemingly slowly contracting and expanding, occasionally shimmering with an indescribable halo.

A long, rectangular table with straight lines was set up in the center of the council hall. Qian Gu Dongfeng, the master of the Spirit Transmission Tower, sat in the main seat. There was a seat on each side of the master of the Spirit Transmission Tower. Leng Yaozhu, the deputy master of the Spirit Transmission Tower and the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo, sat at the head of the table. The other seat was occupied by Han Tianyi, the acting deputy master of the Spirit Transmission Tower, who was far away on the Star Luo Continent. The seat was empty at the moment.

Although the Phoenix Family successfully arranged for Han Tianyi to become the leader of the Star Luo Continent, Qian Gu Dongfeng had a backup plan: Han Tianyi was only the acting deputy tower master. Once Qian Gu Zhangting took office as the spirit messenger, he could take over after accumulating some experience.

Extending backward along both sides of the long table, there are twenty-one seats on each side. Including the seat of the host, Qian Gu Dong Feng, the Spirit Tower Council has a total of forty-three seats. The seats are arranged neatly, and the spacing reflects dignity, presenting an overall sense of solemn order.

The Spirit Pagoda Master, two Deputy Masters, four Spirit Transmission Envoys, thirty-six Councilors, and forty-three high-ranking members are the helmsmen of this behemoth, the Spirit Pagoda.

Not all forty-three high-ranking officials were present. For example, Han Tianyi, the master of the Star Luo Branch Tower and the Illusion Brain Douluo; Hua Tao, the Spirit Transmission Envoy and the Master of the Spirit Douluo Branch Tower; Qian Gu Qingfeng, the Purgatory Douluo; and Xia Zheng Leng, the Cold Rhyme Douluo, did not attend the meeting. They entrusted their voting rights to their close relatives.

"The annual Spirit Pagoda Conference has officially begun."

With his hands clasped together, Master Qian Gu Dongfeng of the Spirit Pagoda proclaimed in a clear voice: "This year, the Spirit Pagoda has developed smoothly overall, with the income of all branches steadily increasing. It has attracted many young geniuses from the Sun and Moon Federation to join us. These achievements are undoubtedly due to everyone's unremitting efforts. I hope that everyone will continue to forge ahead in the future and let the Spirit Pagoda continue to shine!"

A thunderous applause erupted as the councilors gave the tower master ample face. Qian Gu Dongfeng said with satisfaction, "Today is the day to make important decisions about the Spirit Pagoda. Councilors, please speak freely, and we will vote on all matters by raising your hands."

As soon as the words were spoken, an old woman with goosebumps said in a hoarse voice, "Master, I have something to ask you."

"Please speak, Witch Douluo."

The old woman sighed and said, "I am over a hundred years old, my blood and energy are declining, and my spiritual realm has regressed. I am no longer able to make any contributions and am ashamed of my position as a Spirit Transmission Envoy. Today, I would like to ask the Tower Master for my resignation and hope that the Tower Master will choose a more capable person to take over the position."

Li Mengjie, the Witch Douluo, is a Martial Soul Celestial Maiden and one of the Four Spirit Transmission Envoys. She is a peer of the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo Leng Yaozhu and the Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li. She doesn't care about her appearance, so she looks exceptionally old.

At 100 years old, she was in the prime of her life as a Super Douluo. Everyone knew that the Witch Douluo was just making up an excuse; in reality, she was giving way to Qian Gu Zhangting.

As expected, Qian Gu Dong Feng immediately chimed in: "The Witch Douluo has worked diligently and made great contributions over the decades. Even after stepping down, she still retains her status as a councilor of the Spirit Pagoda."

The four Spirit Transmission Envoys are like the four pillars of the Spirit Transmission Tower, none of them can be missing. Does anyone have a candidate to recommend?

"Tower Master, I recommend Qian Gu Zhangting, the prospective Spirit Transmission Envoy." Xu Shengqun, one of the four Spirit Transmission Envoys, played the role of wingman.

“Zhao Xuanzhen, the core disciple, is of noble character and has made great achievements. He should be appointed as the Spirit Transmission Envoy.”

The Bai sisters said in unison that, under Leng Yaozhu's tutelage, they had become councilors of the Spirit Pagoda, fighting wholeheartedly for the Phoenix family.

As the councilors predicted, the messenger would have to choose between Zhao Xuanzhen and Qian Gu Zhangting!

"Both of you are pillars of the Spirit Pagoda, and as the tower master, I am in a difficult position." Qian Gu Dongfeng feigned distress. "According to the old system, the Spirit Pagoda's top combat force is the Spirit Pagoda, and power is above all else."

Qian Gu Zhangting and Zhao Xuanzhen are going to have a showdown in the virtual battlefield, and the winner will become the Spirit Transmission Envoy. But there is still one issue worth discussing: Zhao Xuanzhen is only a core disciple, and the prerequisite for competing for the Spirit Transmission Envoy position is to be a prospective Spirit Transmission Envoy..."
