Imperial Palace
Looking at Ning Fengzhi next to him, Gu Rong suddenly felt a tremor in his heart...
He blurted out, "Feng Zhi, since we've already told His Majesty Xue Ye the specifics, shouldn't we be leaving? I'm a bit worried about the sect over there."
Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly, "Uncle Bone, it might be because of the recent attack by the abyssal creatures that you're overthinking it."
"Uncle Sword is over at the sect, nothing will happen."
"Moreover, the sect had already prepared in advance. If anything unexpected were to really happen, they could hold out for a while!"
He personally did not think the sect would encounter any trouble!
Unless, the abyssal creatures were already planning to start a war!
These three sentences slightly calmed Gu Rong's heart...
"Yes, that's true. The abyssal creatures just attacked the royal household, they probably won't attack another sect so soon!"
But soon, he seemed to think of something, "By the way, Feng Zhi, I remember we haven't told the upper three families about the cooperation yet. Should we go by the way?"
This cooperation was almost solely decided by the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect!
If the other two sects disagree, then...
Ning Fengzhi hesitated for a moment, then shook his head to deny the suggestion, "No, even though the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect and Hao Tian Clan aren't far from the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, it would take a lot of time to get there from the palace!"
"If any unexpected event really happened, we might be spread too thin!"
Gu Rong scratched his head, "Ai, look at me, my brain has gone muddled!"
Ning Fengzhi seemed to understand the other's feelings, comforting, "Uncle Bone, relax a little. Although the abyssal creatures are indeed a great threat, the world is still dominated by humans at the moment!"
....
Tang Wulin sighed, "Alright then, be very careful, it's likely there are still evil Soul Masters from the Holy Spirit Cult lurking around here."
Nanali was so brazenly making a move inside the Soul Guidance Train, chances are, there are bases of the Holy Spirit Cult nearby!
Gu Yue chuckled lightly, "Mm, I will be careful, quickly go on!"
Tang Wulin took a few steps forward, then turned back with a blush, "Then I will leave first, Gu Yue, return to the Academy as soon as possible, I... miss you!"
After saying this, he left with Guo Xiaoxu and the others…
Gu Yue deeply watched his back, "I miss you too, but... inheriting the position of the Spirit Pagoda's master is equally important to me!"
Right after, she bent down to collect the young man's head and body...
Then she spoke into the communication device at her ear, "Help me inform the Pagoda Master that we just encountered the Dark Bell of the Four Great Kings of the Holy Spirit Cult, Qian Gu…"
...
Along the way, Zhao Chong curiously asked, "Kid... that young girl just now, is she your girlfriend?"
Tang Wulin scratched his head awkwardly, "You could say that..."
Zhao Chong sighed, "How nice, if I had your handsome looks, I'd definitely have tons of girlfriends!"
Guo Xiaoxu glared at Zhao Chong, "Hall Master Zhao, it's best to curb irrelevant talk, Wulin, was your encounter with the Dark Bell from the Holy Spirit Cult a coincidence?"
Tang Wulin's light blue eyes flickered, "No, I feel she came specifically for me!"
Zhao Chong pursed her lips, "Thinking too much, that guy is one of the Holy Spirit Cult's Four Great Kings, how could they act solo just for a little Soul Douluo like you!"
Guo Xiaoxu, already annoyed by the interruption, said, "Hall Master Zhao, can you not interrupt my conversation with Wulin!"
Zhao Chong immediately waved, "Hehe... I won't say anymore, no more!"
Guo Xiaoxu then continued, "Wulin, since you say you were targeted by the Dark Bell, could it be because of that Divine Artifact?"
Tang Wulin firmly denied, "No, impossible, the Sea God's Trident is something I just received yesterday at the Academy! And I haven't even used it!"
Guo Xiaoxu held her chin, "It was obtained at Shrek Academy, huh? Then it's strange why the Dark Bell would target you?"
Tang Wulin suddenly realized, exclaiming, "Hall Master Guo, you're deliberately trying to extract information from me!"
Guo Xiaoxu didn't mind, waving her hand, "Cough, cough, well, it's a Divine Artifact, a little curiosity is only normal!"
Tang Wulin just rolled his eyes and said no more...
Though it's just speculation, the reason Dark Bell targeted him is likely due to pleading for her last time!
Otherwise, with her power, she could have killed him the moment she appeared behind him!
Nanali, what kind of "evil Soul Master" are you?
...
Before long, Tang Wulin and his group arrived at the Tang Sect and headed to the conference hall!
Upon entering, Tang Wulin immediately felt two sharp gazes converge on him, the psychological pressure doubled...
Guo Xiaoxu began introducing, "Wulin, this is our current Tang Sect Leader, Zang Xin."
"Next to him is the Mintang Hall Master, Liang Xiaoyu!"
Tang Wulin respectfully responded, "Tang Sect Black Level Fighter, Tang Wulin, greets Sect Master Zang, Hall Master Liang!"
Zang Xin and Liang Xiaoyu both nodded slightly...
Guo Xiaoxu then continued, "Sect Leader, Hall Master Liang, indeed, Tang Wulin encountered the Dark Bell of the Four Great Kings of the Holy Spirit Cult!"
Zhao Chong added, "That's right, and he even injured the opponent!"
Liang Xiaoyu glanced at Tang Wulin, frowning slightly, "As far as I know, Dark Bell is already at the Ultimate Douluo Level, injuring them with the strength of a Soul Douluo seems rather exaggerated!"
Zang Xin also cast a doubtful glance, as the gap between Soul Douluo and Ultimate Douluo is too great to convince anyone!
Zhao Chong became anxious and insisted, "Sect Leader, Hall Master Liang, I'm telling you, it's not exaggerated at all, when we and Hall Master Guo arrived…"
Guo Xiaoxu stopped Zhao Chong, calmly saying, "Sect Leader, discussing this is pointless now, let's start the assessment, and surely you'll have your own judgement then!"
Zang Xin was silent for a moment, then stared at Tang Wulin and said, "Tang Wulin, you should know why you've come to the Tang Sect this time, right?"
Tang Wulin remained composed, "To vie for the qualification to be the next Tang Sect Master!"
Zang Xin confirmed, "Correct, as long as you complete the following three assessments in front of me and the three Hall Masters, you will qualify to become the next Tang Sect Master!"
Tang Wulin asked, unfazed, "Sect Master Zang, what are the three assessments?"
Zang Xin's expression turned increasingly stern, "First, withstand Hall Master Liang's full assault for five minutes!"
"Second, within two weeks, manufacture a Three-Word Battle Armor or black-grade mecha!"
"Third, breakthrough to the Title Douluo level within three months!"
Hearing these words, Tang Wulin's pupils shrank suddenly, and his face turned grim...
These three assessments are simply increasingly insane...
