The Pagoda Master Selection Ends
Watching the two men showing off their sons to each other, Bing Hongchen sighed helplessly.
"I'm telling you, you two old geezers, that's really enough. My Hongchen Family doesn't even have Quasi-God right now, and you're quite proud of yourselves, aren't you?"
As Bing Hongchen appeared, the two old men, who had been all smiles, immediately turned serious.
"Ahem, Sister Bing, the Hongchen Family's strength lies in their inheritance of Soul Tools; their focus is different."
The two immediately smoothed things over, stating that the most powerful force in the Spirit Pagoda at present is undoubtedly the Soul Beast Clan.
Next is the Xiao Family, with five Limit Breakers, three Demigods, and two Quasi-Gods. Then comes the Gu Family, with three Limit Breakers, Demigod, and two Quasi-Gods.
Then there's the Hongchen Family, a family with four ultimate powers and four Demigods: Bing Hongchen, Lin Hongchen, and the last two from Affiliated Families, the Xu Family and Kong Families.
Over the course of ten thousand years, the Hongchen Family became the largest family in Mingdu, with the Xu Family and Kong Families as Affiliated Families.
One of them is Demigod from the Xu Family, Martial Soul is the Ice Jade Scorpion, and he is also one of the disciples of the Ice Empress. Another is from the Kong Family, Martial Soul is the Sun, the inherited Martial Soul of the Sun Moon Imperial Family.
Every five hundred years, the Xu Family may produce someone with the Ice Jade Scorpion Martial Soul. Since the Xu Family is an affiliate of the Hongchen Family, it naturally belongs to the Hongchen Family.
Next is the Phoenix Family was originally supposed to have two Demigods.
One is Leng Yaozhu, and the other is her mother. However, Leng Yaozhu's mother was injured by the Ghost Emperor of the Holy Spirit Cult, leaving her with a chronic illness. She passed away some time ago, leaving only Leng Yaozhu as Demigod.
However, Dark Phoenix Douluo's talent is not low either. He is currently at the peak of Level 98 and is undergoing training in the Blood God Legion. It is estimated that he will break through to the Limit Douluo soon.
Finally, the family with two Limit Douluo is the Sea God Posei Family. This family is from Sea God Island, which is supported by the Demon Empress. The First Generation Sea God Sea God Posei Family members who inherited the Poseidon Martial Soul were able to break through to Demigod, and the outstanding ones could even break through to Quasi-God.
Incidentally, whenever the Demon Empress sees the members of the Sea God Family serving him respectfully and addressing him as Lord Sea God, he feels a surge of emotion.
The thought that she had not only usurped Tang San's place but also stolen his power of faith made her incredibly excited!
After this Tower Master Selection Conference, Chen Jianshu witnessed the power of the Spirit Pagoda now, which is simply outrageous. It's like they're mass-producing Limit Douluo here!
It's safe to say that this is truly an era where Douluo Dalu III: The Legend of the Dragon King are as common as dogs and extreme abilities are everywhere.
"Ahem, now let's begin the second round of the Tower Master selection: voting. Please cast your votes for your chosen candidates."
Xiao Yi coughed a few times, changed the subject, and announced the start of the vote. A light screen appeared in front of everyone.
Chen Jianshu looked over and saw that the light screen in front of him had five options, which were the five people who had just participated in the battle.
Xiao Jing, the Heavenly Cauldron Douluo; Lin Hongchen, the Golden Toad Douluo; Leng Yaozhu, the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo; Qian Gu Qingfeng, the Purgatory Douluo; and Qian Gu Dongfeng, the War Wind Douluo.
"A Shu, who should we vote for?"
Wu Bingyu asked curiously, since they didn't seem to know these tower master competitors very well, except for Leng Yaozhu, with whom they had some interaction.
The others also turned their gazes over. Apart from Leng Yaozhu, they were meeting the other powerful figures for the first time, and they were preparing to vote along with Chen Jianshu.
"... Then let's turn to Senior Heavenly Phoenix. Those two old women Silver Moon Douluo and Light and Dark Douluo from the Shrek Academy, attacked us before, and it was Senior Heavenly Phoenix who helped us out."
After a brief moment of thought, he immediately chose to vote for Leng Yaozhu, since she had taken good care of him before. Seeing this, the others also voted.
Di Tian, Bi Ji, Myriad Demon King, Xiong Jun, Scarlet King, Demon Spirit, Snow Empress, and Ice Empress all voted for Xiao Jing of the Xiao Family, while Evil Emperor voted for Lin Hongchen.
After all, the Xiao Family and the Hongchen Family were the families they supported, while those who supported the Qiangu Family, under the instruction of Qiangu Dieting, all sided with Qiangu Dongfeng. Qiangu Qingfeng had no intention of getting involved in such matters; he was just here to fight.
The final voting results are in, and the first place goes to Heavenly Cauldron Douluo Xiao Jing, which is beyond doubt, given his overwhelming lead in strength.
A total of 220 votes were cast, including those from the Spirit Pagoda elders who did not participate in the selection ceremony, such as the Demon Empress, who was currently on Sea God Island and had naturally received the voting information, so she voted for the Hongchen Family.
Her Four-Word Battle Armor was crafted for her by the Hongchen siblings back then, and she has always remembered this kindness. In addition, given that Meng Hongchen is the wife of the Spirit Transferring, she naturally has to support her.
The Titan Snow Demon King and the Ice Bear King Xiaobai in the Far North are also elders of the Spirit Pagoda, Four-Word Battle Armor Masters, and Branch Pagoda Masters of the Spirit Pagoda in Snow Demon City and Ice Bear City.
The second place goes to Lin Hongchen of the Hongchen Family. Because Mingde Hall is a well-known scientific research center on the mainland, many powerful forces support the Hongchen Family.
With the support of the Evil Demon Forest and the Demon Empress of Sea God Island, the number of votes naturally increased, reaching a final total of 120 votes, successfully advancing to the position of Vice Pagoda Master.
The top two positions were no surprise, as they were families supported by the Ferocious Beasts. Seeing the rankings, Leng Yaozhu couldn't help but sigh slightly, realizing that she could only serve Spirit Messenger.
The strongest human family in the Spirit Pagoda is undoubtedly the Xiao Family, followed by the Hongchen Family with the widest network of connections.
Next up is the Qiangu Family. Although the Phoenix Family has always been easygoing and has made many friends, they are definitely not as good as the Qiangu Family, which is a pity.
Having finally ascended to the position of Vice Pagoda Master, he's about to fall out again. In previous years, the vote difference between the Qiangu Family and the Phoenix Family was usually around ten votes.
Just as she was pondering these thoughts, the announcement of the third Vice Pagoda Master was made.
Leng Yaozhu had 82 votes, while Qiangu Dongfeng had 80 recommendation votes, a difference of only two votes. Qiangu Qingfeng had zero votes.
When the result was announced, everyone was stunned. Qiangu Dongfeng thought he had misread it, but upon closer inspection, he realized that the other party actually had two more votes than him, and his expression changed drastically.
"The voting results are all here; this is the Database."
The Demon Spirit brought up the Database, where the vote count was clearly displayed. Looking at the data, Qiangu Dongfeng's face turned ashen. He abruptly turned to look at Leng Yaozhu's disciple, Gu Yue, and the many classmates beside her, as if he had suddenly realized something.
Leng Yaozhu suddenly remembered that core disciples above the Black Level also had voting slots. She turned to look at Gu Yue and her classmates, the surprise coming too suddenly.
Does anyone have any further objections?
The Demon Spirit looked at the five people in front of it and asked, "Their votes must be fair, just, and transparent."
"We have no objection."
Xiao Jing expressed no objection, as did Lin Hongchen and Leng Yaozhu. Although Qiangu Dongfeng's expression was grim, he could only express no objection as well.
This unexpected turn of events caught everyone off guard. The only variable was the significant increase in the number of Black Level and Red-Level Core Disciples in this era.
After the voting concluded, the new generation of high-ranking members of the Spirit Pagoda were as follows: the Pagoda Master is Xiao Jing, the 348th generation patriarch of the Xiao Family, Heavenly Cauldron Douluo, Four-Word Battle Armor Master, Quasi-God level expert.
Next are the two deputy tower masters: Lin Hongchen, the Golden Toad Douluo from the Hongchen family, a level 99 demigod four-word battle armor master; and Leng Yaozhu, the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo from the Phoenix family, also a level 99 demigod four-word battle armor master.
Next came the four Spirit Envoys: Purgatory Douluo, the Quasi-God Qiangu Qingfeng, Three-Word Battle Armor Master; Warwind Douluo, Qiangu Dongfeng Demigod Dongfeng Four-Word Battle Armor Master.
Xiao Tian, the Heavenly Flute Douluo, is Level 98 Four-Word Battle Armor Master; Illusory Brain Douluo Han Tianyi, is a Level 98 Three-Word Battle Armor Master.
The only victim emerged: Xu Shengqun, the Heavenly Sage Douluo. Because of Qiangu Qingfeng's involvement, he was directly squeezed out of the position of Spirit Envoy.
The selection process for the Spirit Pagoda Master has come to a successful conclusion. No one expected such a sudden turn of events, which allowed Leng Yaozhu to become the Vice Pagoda Master by chance. She is undoubtedly the happiest person right now.
To my utter surprise, the apprentice I took on brought me such a wonderful surprise. Her classmates, all of whom were Black Level and Red-Level Core Disciples, garnered her over a dozen votes.
After the Tower Master selection conference, Leng Yaozhu invited Gu Yue and the others to dinner at the most luxurious restaurant in Star Dou City.
"Moon, you are truly my lucky star! And to the rest of you, thank you for your support. If you ever need any help in the future, please feel free to come to me."
She stroked Gu Yue's head, her smile never fading. No one had ever told her that taking on one genius disciple could lead to mentoring so many geniuses.
Why is it buy one get eight free? Chen Jianshu, Na'er, and Xu Xiaoyan are all Red-Level Core Disciples. Haji Yan's Red-Level Core Disciple spot was applied for by Snow Empress. The rest are Black-Level Core Disciples.
"Heavenly Phoenix Douluo, you flatter us. You and Skyhawk Douluo have also helped us a lot. Besides, among so many competitors, you're the only one we know, so naturally we'd like to lend a hand."
Chen Jianshu smiled. The other party had previously taught him the techniques for mastering Soul Power and elements, and he also remembered the investment that Skyhawk Douluo had made in him, so he would naturally lend a hand.
Leng Yaozhu understood. She never expected that Elder Skyhawk's investment would have such a big impact. From now on, she could no longer call him Elder Skyhawk, but rather Skyhawk Consecrated Elder.
When the Skyhawk Douluo, who was far away in the branch tower of the Spirit Pagoda in Eastsea City, heard the news of his promotion, he knew that his long-term investment had paid off, and that his descendants would be able to use these resources to improve themselves.
Returning to the Star Dou Grand Restaurant, Gu Yue, who was being patted on the head, felt utterly hopeless. To be honest, she had regretted countless times why she had ever initiated that Ridiculous Human Enslavement Plan.
Previously, she was unaware of Di Tian and others' ability to rule, and even thought that humans possessed the ability to suddenly rebel.
For example, the sudden betrayal of the Soul Beast Clan, leading to the Soul Beast Clan utter destruction, has made her realize the absolute dominance of the Soul Beast Clan after this Spirit Pagoda Master Selection Conference.
To put it simply, if the Ferocious Beasts were willing, they could even elect an ordinary person as the master of the Spirit Pagoda.
The Xiao Family, the strongest human family with five Limit Douluo, treats them like ancestors, as do the Hongchen Family, which has the strongest scientific research capabilities.
The continent's strongest military force and scientific research development are all firmly in the hands of Di Tian and his group. It can be said that the Ferocious Beasts have already ruled the entire continent, and they can even destroy humanity at any time if Di Tian so desires.
Looking at it this way, her previous plan to destroy humanity seems a bit clownish, doesn't it? How come my subordinates are all so capable? You guys have done all the work, what am I supposed to do? You guys make me look useless!
And what's even more infuriating is that I've actually become a grand-disciple of my own subordinate! I'm so angry! I'm going to be furious! Ha! Ha!
Just as Gu Yue was feeling down, Xu Xiaoyan looked at the gentle and kind Leng Yaozhu and finally mustered up her courage to say:
"Um... Your Heavenly Phoenix, could you please sign your name for me?"
After speaking, she looked at the other person with expectant eyes, deeply admiring these powerful women who could sit in high positions.
Whether it's Fengxiao Douluo, Dream Ice Douluo, Winter Butterfly Douluo, or the Snow Empress, Ice Empress, Bi Ji, Zi JI from the side of the Ferocious Beasts, these powerful female figures are all worthy of respect.
"Of course! I remember you're Snow Empress's disciple, right? You can call me Senior Sister from now on."
Leng Yaozhu nodded in agreement, while glancing at the other party again. This was the first time in ten thousand years that the Snow Empress had accepted a disciple; she was a disciple, not a student.
The Snow Empress spends most of her time in the Far North, and only occasionally, in her spare time, will come to the Star Dou Spirit Transmission Academy to give them a few lessons.
Ice Empress usually only accepts disciples from the Xu Family have awakened the Ice Jade Scorpion Martial Soul. Speaking of the Ice Jade Scorpion Martial Soul, she couldn't help but think of the Yuanen Family next door.
This family seems to be descendants of the Titan Giant Ape, so by the same logic, Spiritual Eyes, White Tiger, and Ice Spirit Ice Douluo Scorpion Martial Souls of Spirit Ice Jade Scorpion could also be born.
In the original work, it was because the Ice Empress bloodline was too high that the human body could not withstand it. The difference between the three types Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, Ice Jade King Scorpion, and Ice Jade Scorpion, is still very large.
Those who awaken the Ice Jade Scorpion Martial Soul in the Xu Family will not only experience a regression of their Ultimate Ice, but will also suffer from the icy chill that consumes their bodies, leading to premature death.
Just like Lan Mengqin, the Heavenly Snow Woman Martial Soul owner ten thousand years later, because her Martial Soul was too powerful, she could not fully awaken it, and what she awakened would have flaws.
However, as long as he trains with Ice Empress in the Far North for a few years, he can completely resolve the issue and master the full power of the Ice Jade Scorpion.
Leng Yaozhu was also curious as to why the Snow Empress, who had never taken on a disciple in ten thousand years, would suddenly accept her as one.
As everyone knows, ice and snow are one. Being accepted as a disciple by the Snow Empress also signifies the Ice Empress's allegiance. This little girl will have the support of two Ferocious Beast seniors and a bright future, so it's natural to be on good terms with them.
Things are different now than they were ten thousand years ago. Ten thousand years ago, even if you were a prodigy, what good would it do? If you didn't grow up, you would still be a dead man.
The City Lord that the Spirit Transferring Douluo encountered back then was a guy who could only stay at the Soul Saint level for life. He was jealous of others being able to awaken Innate Full Soul Power, and coupled with his refusal to become a slave, he became enraged and massacred the village to vent his anger.
Afterwards, they surrounded and killed Spirit Transferring, crippled his Martial Soul, and threw him into Auction House be tortured because Spirit Transferring had kidnapped one of his children, though it wasn't very important.
The Spirit Transferring was already on the verge of death at the time, so it was a good opportunity to fake it and sell it to some unsuspecting fools for a profit, which is why it was auctioned off.
And since he wouldn't live much longer anyway, he figured he might as well exchange the money for more. But unexpectedly Spirit Transferring was reborn from the ashes in hell and met a benefactor named Xiao Xiao.
Ten thousand years ago, they could kill whomever they wanted without reason; they could massacre an entire village if they were in a bad mood. That was a chaotic era.
Twenty thousand years ago, the Spirit Hall still stood guard, but it didn't exist ten thousand years ago. Countless geniuses perished there, and Jiang Nannan is one example. In order to save her mother, she had no choice but to do that kind of thing.
In this era, all the major families would love to nurture and cultivate geniuses. The high and mighty people of ten thousand years ago would not have treated you as a genius; they would have only treated you as a servant, and you would die if you disobeyed.
For example, Shrek Academy ten thousand years ago. After Huo Yuhao revealed his Twin Martial Souls, did Shrek Academy help him at all? They just made empty promises and then made him do things.
The second and third updates of September 19th will be combined into one large chapter.
