The Battle of Five Limit Douluo

It can be said that the Yun Ming era was an era of brilliant stars, with countless Limit Douluo emerging, truly a golden age.

However, only Yun Ming and Xiao Jing have reached the peak of the Quasi-God level so far, and Guan Yue and Cao Dezhi seem to be at the Quasi-God level as well, while the others are at the Demigod level.

He was quite proud of this; their Shrek had three beings above the level of Quasi-Gods, which was an immense power.

However, a question arose: why did the Soul-Calming Douluo relinquish his position so early, especially given his impending death?

The last time he fought Xiao Yi at the Tang Sect, Xiao Yi was two hundred years old and had at least eighty years left to live. Why did he suddenly abdicate and give way to a more capable person?

Of course, he could understand if it was to give the opportunity to a younger generation, but why announce that his lifespan was nearing its end?

"Guan Yue, could you please review the historical records of the Xiao Family who served as the tower masters of the Spirit Pagoda throughout history?"

Realizing something was amiss, he immediately instructed the other party to check the records. The other party then found historical materials and began searching through historical records.

The two then discovered something amiss: the Xiao Family had been the masters of the Spirit Pagoda for hundreds of generations.

Those normal Demigods, Quasi-Gods, or peak Quasi-Gods of the Xiao Family all lived to be 250 or 280 years old before passing away peacefully.

Yet, there were over a dozen of the most famous powerhouses who had suppressed an entire era and reached the pinnacle of Quasi-God, but their lifespans were only two hundred years. When their two hundred years of lifespan were up, they passed away peacefully. Why was that?

Logically speaking, the stronger one is, the longer one's lifespan should be. For example, Yun Ming, with his Divine Origin Realm Spiritual Power, might be able to live to be three hundred years old.

No one might care about this detail, but Yun Ming had a feeling that it might hide some huge secret.

The next day arrived quickly; it was the day the Spirit Pagoda was selecting a new tower master.

Chen Jianshu, Na'er, and Wu Bingyu all headed to the Star Dou Great Forest. That's right, they were going to elect a new tower master there.

In Xiong Jun City of the Star Dou Great Forest, the city has a very wild style, with a cyberpunk and primitive architectural style.

Because some of the buildings here are normal high-rise buildings, while others are stone houses built with hard, rough stones.

Because of their great strength, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bears occasionally need to sharpen their claws, often damaging buildings. Renovating these buildings is extremely expensive, so some Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bears simply choose to live in cheap and affordable stone houses.

The iconic building here is the Great Colosseum, which was built because of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bears' battle, and it is also where many Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bears train.

In Xiong Jun's words, their Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear family doesn't raise useless bears; most of the retired Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bears are those who retired from the front lines.

Inside the enormous arena, Chen Jianshu, Wang Dong, Wu Bingyu, and Na'er were all seated in the VIP spectator seats.

"A Shu!"

Just then, shouts came from not far away. The group turned around and saw Ye Xinglan, Wu Siduo, Xue Liushuang, and Weng Daimin. Only disciples of the Black Level or above were qualified to watch the Tower Master selection.

You guys are here too?

He greeted the group, and the four people opposite him all sat down. At the same time, there were also Xiao Yan, Xiao Qing, Yue Hongchen from the Xiao Family, who were all Black-Level Core Disciple.

He even saw Qian Xue, and of course, Di Qiu'er was there too, along with the four human Spirit Envoys from the Spirit Pagoda, and the 108 Spirit Pagoda Elders.

"A Shu!"

Just then, another shout rang out, and everyone turned to look. They saw Xu Xiaoyan walking towards them with a stunningly beautiful, icy figure, and not far away, Gu Yue was following Leng Yaozhu.

They were all old acquaintances, and they had all gathered together. Gu Yue was Leng Yaozhu's disciple, and Xu Xiaoyan was Snow Empress's disciple. Both of them were also Black-Level Core Disciples of the Spirit Pagoda at the Black level, so they were naturally qualified to participate in and observe this new candidate for Tower Master.

The group of acquaintances naturally sat together, and incidentally, Huo Yuhao, Long Yue, and Dai Yun'er from next door were also there.

Huo Yuhao sat with a white-haired figure with blue-green heterochromatic eyes. Di Qiu'er was accompanied by Xiao Xiao and Meng Hongchen. They had all come to observe the selection of the Tower Master.

Next are the older generation of powerhouses, such as Xiao Yi. He already looks very old and frail, but in the eyes of Bi Ji and Ya Li, he is still full of vitality and will definitely live to be three hundred years old.

In this selection of the tower master, the Titled Douluo of the Shadow Division of the Spirit Pagoda cannot show up. Since they are from the Shadow Division, they certainly cannot show their faces.

The Xiao Family, represented by Xiao Yi, possesses immense strength. Xiao Yi himself is at the peak of the Quasi-God realm, followed by his eldest son, the Chief Inquisitor Xiao Lai, Level 98 Water Cauldron Douluo.

The second son is Heavenly Cauldron Douluo Xiao Jing, the deputy commander of the Blood God Legion and is a peak Quasi-God.

The third son is Heavenly Flute Douluo, a Spirit Envoy of the Spirit Pagoda, and it is said that he recently broke through to Level 98.

Next came his nephew, Federation Congressman Xiao Hun, and his nephew Xiao Luo, both of whom were Demigods. Then there was Xiao Yi's grandson, Xiao Jinteng, who was making his first public appearance, but judging from his aura, he seemed to be Demigod as well.

It is said that his grandson is about to go to the Blood God Legion for training and take over Xiao Jing's position.

Xiao Yan and Xiao Qing are Xiao Yi's great-grandsons, and Xiao Xiao was greatly shocked when she heard Di Qiu'er's introduction.

"Awesome! My family is that awesome!"

Looking at this five-star configuration, Xiao Xiao gasped in astonishment. "Our Xiao Family is really something else."

"Of course, since we said we would take care of your family, we will naturally keep our promise."

Di Qiu'er nodded, looking completely nonchalant, while Meng Hongchen curiously pressed for an answer:

"And what about my home? How is my home?"

"Your family currently has a peak Demigod and Lin Hongchen, who recently broke through to the Limit Douluo. Although you only have two Limit Douluos, your family has twenty Level 9 Soul Engineer, while Bing Hongchen and Lin Hongchen are Level 10 Soul Engineer."

Listening to the introduction, Meng Hongchen nodded. It seemed that their family was doing quite well.

Both are Xiao Families, and both take care of their descendants. The Xiao Family in the Douluo Continent was taken care of for ten thousand years, with five members reaching the limit. But a certain Xiao Family was taken care of for a thousand years, and the strongest member was only a Great Dou Master. It's hilarious.

Next came the Qiangu Family, Qiangu Dieting, and the two brothers, Qian Gu Dong Feng and Qiangu Qingfeng Qiangu Dongfeng.

However, Qiangu Qingfeng kept a certain distance from the other two, which clearly indicated that he had a conflict with his family.

Next came the Ferocious Beasts: the Ice and Snow Emperors representing the Far North, the Evil Emperor representing the Evil Demon Forest, and Di Tian representing the Star Dou Great Forest.

As for the Sea Soul Beasts, the representative is Lan Xiao, who is also the daughter of the Demon Empress Lan Fozi. Because of the Demon Empress's special status, he certainly cannot participate in such an event. However, she is accompanied by someone from Sea God Island, a Limit Douluo.

Everyone was seated in their assigned seats, creating a lively atmosphere Chen Jianshu looked around and realized that most of the high-ranking figures from the Douluo Continent were present.

There are already more than twenty Limit Douluos here. This strength has shocked him. The changes in this era are truly tremendous. Limit Douluos are everywhere.

Soon everyone quieted down. Xiao Yi stood up, bowed to the several Ferocious Beast seniors, and then spoke.

"Fellow Daoists, I, Xiao Yi, am getting on in years, and it is time for me to step down and pass the position to a more capable person. Today's selection ceremony for the Tower Master is to choose an outstanding successor to take my place, and I also hope that my Xiao Family can once again assist the Spirit Pagoda to achieve even greater glory."

All official pronouncements were skipped. The selection process was divided into two parts. The first part was a martial arts competition, where several powerful individuals who were eager to become the master of the Spirit Pagoda could go on stage to compete and demonstrate their strength.

Next comes the second part: the vote. The selection of the tower master naturally concerns everyone in the Spirit Pagoda.

Everyone in the Spirit Pagoda, from the Spirit Pagoda Master Di Tian down to the 108 Soul Master Elders and Soul Beast Elders, has the right to vote. The higher the position, the more votes they can cast.

Di Tian is the tower master with ten votes, Snow Empress and Evil Emperor are the Vice Pagoda Masters with eight votes each, and the Spirit Pagoda Envoy has five votes each.

Each of the Auspicious Beasts and the elders at the Limit Douluo level has five votes, the elders at the Super Douluo level have three votes, the elders at the Titled Douluo level have one vote, Chen Jianshu and Na'er each have two votes, and the Black-Level Core Disciple have one vote.

They also had voting rights, emphasizing participation, and soon several powerful individuals who were interested in vying for the position of Tower Master stepped onto this 100,000-meter-high arena.

The first one was none other than Xiao Jing, the Heavenly Cauldron Douluo. He had a masculine and resolute face, and his body was filled with a murderous aura. It was clear that he had fought his way up from the army.

He bowed to his father, Xiao Yi, and then summoned his Martial Soul. A large golden cauldron appeared, along with nine Soul Rings: five red and four orange and gold.

A colossal golden Heavenly Cauldron blotted out the sky as it flew toward the arena. With a flash, he appeared atop the Heavenly Cauldron, stepped onto it, and landed directly in the center of the arena.

The aura of a peak Quasi-God was no longer concealed and was revealed. The others' expressions changed drastically as they stared at him in horror. They never expected that he had entered the Blood God Legion for a hundred years of training and that his cultivation had improved once again.

Qiangu Dieting sighed. The Xiao Family was truly a behemoth. Even if the other families joined forces, they probably couldn't defeat him. It was truly hopeless, just like the despair he felt in his era when facing Xiao Yi.

His son, Qiangu Dongfeng, not only has to face Yun Ming, but also Xiao Jing, Cao Dezhi, Guan Yue, and many other Quasi-Gods, which seems to put him in a very desperate situation.

Next, the second to appear was Lin Hongchen, the Golden Toad Douluo of the Hongchen family, who was also the Spirit Transmission Envoy of the Spirit Transmission Tower. Four years ago, he was a level 98 Super Douluo, but he seemed to have gained some enlightenment and broke through the Limit Douluo realm, reaching the demigod realm.

His mother is Bing Hongchen, the Mingde Hall. Ice Toad Douluo is also the contemporary Hongchen Douluo, Demigod.

He stepped onto the metal block and entered the arena, surrounded by nine Soul Rings, two black and seven red. Next was Leng Yaozhu, whose loud phoenix cry resounded as her Heavenly Phoenix Martial Soul was revealed.

Leng Yaozhu, surrounded by five black and four red Soul Rings, also stepped into the arena, creating a three-way standoff.

Seeing this situation, Qiangu Dieting turned to his two sons and instructed them:

"Qingfeng, I know you still resent me, but positions at the top of the Spirit Pagoda are very important. I hope you can put aside your grudges and work together with your brother to secure a good position."

Qiangu Dongfeng and Qiangu Qingfeng exchanged a glance, and the former took the initiative to speak:

"Brother, Father is right. This is a critical time, and high-ranking positions are truly important to our Qiangu Family."

Faced with the two men's persuasion, Qiangu Qingfeng remained expressionless but nodded. After receiving their reply, the two brothers left the arena together.

Finally, Qiangu Dieting looked at his great-grandson, Qiangu Zhangting. The boy was now nineteen years old and had become a Soul Emperor, as well as Two-Word Battle Armor Master.

"With great-grandfather, grandfather, and great-uncle working together, they're sure to achieve great results."

He looked at his great-grandson, a hint of pity flashing in his eyes, and subconsciously glanced at the other young people.

The group includes Qian Xue, the adopted Soul Ancestor of Di Tian, who is ten years old and at level fifty; Ye Xinglan, who Weng Daimin; Ye Wu Siduo; Chen Jianshu Na'er Xue Liushuang Gu Yue Xu Xiaoyan; Wu Bingyu; and Gu Xuanyu, among others.

And then there are the geniuses from the Xiao Family and the Hongchen Family; he seems to already see the despair his great-grandson is about to face.

His era had Xiao Yi Chen Xinjie, while his son's era had figures like Xiao Jing, Yun Ming, Cao Dezhi, and Guan Yue.

His grandson's era had Xiao Jinteng, and now his great-grandson's era still has so many geniuses. Who can keep up with this?

"Great-grandson, you've already done very well. Your Future achievements will certainly be great, so don't worry too much."

Faced with his great-grandfather's sudden change, Qiangu Zhangting was somewhat puzzled. What did this mean? Was it because he was only nineteen years old and at the level of a sixty-first-level Soul Emperor that he was weak?

Soon, the selection of the Tower Master officially began. Both Qiangu Dongfeng and Qiangu Qingfeng stared solemnly at Xiao Jing, the strongest person in the arena. However, their ambitions didn't stop there; they immediately transmitted their thoughts:

"Yao Zhu, Lin Hongchen, how about the four of us join forces to fight against Xiao Jing?"

Xiao Jing's strength is far superior; only if the four of them join forces can they possibly defeat him.

Don't call me Yaozhu, we're not familiar with each other.

Upon hearing the way the other person addressed her, Leng Yaozhu's expression immediately changed, her gentle face turning into a cold, expressionless one.

Qiangu Dongfeng was speechless. He couldn't understand why someone would be infatuated with a historical figure. Was it just because that person had suppressed an entire era and was exceptionally talented and handsome? That person had three wives!

Leng Yaozhu: Three wives? I'm even more excited now!

After being rejected by Leng Yaozhu, Lin Hongchen on the other side also chose to refuse.

"No need! My Hongchen Family is second to none! Xiao Jing, let's settle this once and for all!"

As Lin Hongchen spoke, countless metals around him turned into liquid, forming thousands of metal cannons that were aimed at the opponent.

"I'll satisfy you."

Xiao Jing snapped his fingers, and the Heavenly Cauldron beneath his feet carried the power of heaven and earth, spreading out a domain that pressed down heavily on Lin Hongchen.

The opponent felt a sudden pause in breathing, then immediately solidified his armor in the void, revealing the Four-Word Battle Armor. The Battle Armor domain countered his attack, and then a thousand metal cannons fired simultaneously.

Rumble!

The sound of cannons roared continuously. Every shot here was a level nine Soul Cannon. Then, the soul-guided radar locked onto the enemy, and every shot hit the enemy accurately.

Seeing the dense barrage of cannon fire, Xiao Jing flashed behind the Heavenly Cauldron and kicked it out. The massive golden Heavenly Cauldron crashed down, defying the bombardment of countless cannons and rising against the current.

Daily Quiz: The victor of this battle for the title of Tower Master will become the Tower Master of the Spirit Pagoda, having mastered the technique of contracting Soul Spirits. So, what is this battle called?

A: The Fearless Contract is a competition among five Limit Douluo to become the Tower Master, vying for control of the Contract Soul Spirit technology. The name "Fearless" is a homophone for "five," which is quite amusing.

The first two chapters of September 18th will be combined into one long chapter.
