Arrival at Spirit City
Tang San frowned, a deep worry rising in his heart.
He thought of Zhang San, a man who was vindictive, ruthless, and prone to saying things like, "You've already made your way to death."
If I were to actually defeat him in the Soul Master Tournament, taking away the championship he so desperately wanted and those four Soul Bones, how would he treat me?
Tang San took a deep breath and put the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow in his hand into his Storage Soul Tool.
If it is inevitable that we will become enemies with Zhang San's Spirit Hall in the future, then we must come up with a way to counter Tang Sect Hidden Weapons.
"Third Brother, let's go." Xiao Wu's voice came from behind him, interrupting his thoughts.
Tang San turned around and saw Xiao Wu standing beside the carriage, waving at him. Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were also standing nearby, all three of them looking at Tang San with concern on their faces.
Tang San smiled and walked towards them.
The convoy resumed its journey.
Tang San climbed into the Shrek Academy's carriage, leaned against the wall, and closed his eyes.
The image of Zhang San lingered in my mind, impossible to shake off.
Ten days later, the team finally arrived at Spirit City.
Due to the special regulations of Spirit City, Xue Qinghe ordered the Royal Knights to be stationed outside the city and led fifteen Soul Master teams into Spirit City.
Compared to massive cities like Heaven Dou City and Suotuo City, Spirit City is much smaller, not even one-tenth the size of Heaven Dou City.
However, it still brought a great deal of shock to the Soul Masters.
Despite its small size, the walls of Spirit City were built entirely according to the style of a capital city.
The city wall, which is tens of meters high, looks extremely majestic from the outside. The wall is also more than ten meters thick and is made entirely of granite.
Even Ning Fengzhi, who was wealthy and powerful, couldn't help but admire Spirit City when he saw it.
It's important to understand that this city was entirely funded and built by the Spirit Hall. How easy was it to construct such a city?
What's most peculiar is that Spirit City is not a quadrilateral like ordinary cities, but a hexagon, meaning it has a total of six city walls.
The patrols on the city wall were all conducted by Soul Masters, dressed in the special uniforms of the Spirit Hall.
On each of the six city walls, there is a huge relief, exactly the same as the one on the Spirit Hall token, symbolizing six powerful Martial Soul.
A cardinal came out to greet them from the Spirit Hall, and under his leadership, a group of more than two hundred people followed them into Spirit City.
Tang San leaned against the carriage wall, looking through the crack in the window at the rapidly receding street scene outside.
The architectural style of Spirit City is completely different from that of Heaven Dou City, being more solemn and dignified, with each building exuding a religious sense of holiness.
The streets were wide and clean, lined with neat rows of trees whose canopies shimmered with a golden glow in the setting sun.
The team stopped in front of the hotel that the Spirit Hall had specially prepared for the participating academies.
The hotel is a five-story building with a pale gold exterior that gleams softly in the sunlight.
Each college student moved into their assigned room.
Of course, Xue Qinghe, Dugu Bo, and Ning Fengzhi did not belong to any academy, but they were all VIPs of the Spirit Hall, and the Spirit Hall provided them with special accommodations.
Shrek Academy was assigned to the fifth floor of the hotel, with each person having their own room. The rooms were small but cozy and comfortable.
Tang San's room was at the end of the corridor, with a window facing the main street of Spirit City, offering a wide view.
The sky outside the window gradually darkened.
The team has three days of rest, which is neither too long nor too short. It's enough for the players to recover their strength, adjust their condition, and prepare for the upcoming Grand Finals.
After a long period of Qualifying Tournament, Promotion Rounds, and trials along the way, the team members' skills have improved to a certain extent.
Currently, the Shrek Team's levels are as follows: Tang San, level 58; Dugu Yan Xiao Wu, level 55; Dai Mubai, level 52; Dai Mubai, level 43; Ye Lingling, level 43; Tai Long, level 41; Jing Ling, level 37; Huang Yuan, level 37; Oscar, level 38; Zhu Zhuqing, level 36; Ning Rongrong, level 36.
Everyone has made progress during this period, although the progress may not be significant, but everyone is moving forward.
Tang San opened his eyes, a slight smile curving his lips.
With a team like this and with this kind of strength, he has full confidence that they can go the furthest in the Grand Finals.
It's late at night.
The nights in Spirit City are much quieter than in Heaven Dou City. There are almost no pedestrians on the streets, only the occasional patrolling Spirit Hall guards walk by, their footsteps echoing in the empty streets.
The moonlight, like water, spilled onto the windowsill, bathing the room in a silvery glow.
Tang San sat cross-legged on the bed, preparing to enter a meditative state.
Just as he closed his eyes, a voice suddenly rang in his mind.
"Tang San, I am the Seventh Enshrined of the Spirit Hall. I have been ordered by the Great Enshrined to request your presence."
The voice was old and steady, carrying an unquestionable authority.
Tang San's pupils contracted sharply, his body tensed instantly, and his hair stood on end.
Someone used Soul Power to transmit a message, which means that the other party is extremely strong, at least Titled Douluo level expert.
Moreover, the other party knew his name.
But Tang San's expression quickly returned to calm. He took a deep breath and suppressed his vigilance.
The Seventh Enshrined of the Spirit Hall, Demon Subduing Douluo.
A person of Qian Daoliu.
Tang San got out of bed, tidied his appearance, opened the door, and went out.
I walked through the hotel lobby, pushed open the door, and left the hotel.
A night breeze swept over him, carrying a hint of coolness, and ruffled the hem of his clothes.
The street in front of the hotel was deserted, with only the streetlights casting a faint glow in the night.
Tang San stood at the doorway, scanning his surroundings but seeing no one.
He walked west along the street for about fifteen minutes until he came to the entrance of a dark alley.
A figure could be vaguely seen standing at the end of the alley. The person was tall, wearing a dark robe, and his face was indistinct.
Demon Subduing Douluo.
Tang San walked up to him, bowed slightly, and said respectfully, "Junior Tang San greets Senior."
The Demon Subduing Douluo sized him up, a hint of scrutiny flashing in his bright eyes.
He nodded without saying a word, but simply reached out and placed his hand on Tang San's shoulder.
A powerful surge of Soul Power erupted from the palm of the Demon Subduing Douluo, enveloping Tang San entirely.
Tang San felt his body lighten, as if he were being lifted up by an invisible hand, his feet leaving the ground, and his whole body soaring into the air.
The Demon Subduing Douluo, carrying him, transformed into a black streak of light and disappeared into the night sky.
Worship Hall.
The Worship Hall is located on a hilltop behind Spirit City.
Stepping inside, the hall is extremely spacious, with a high dome adorned with exquisite murals depicting battle scenes of the Angel Gods.
At the very center of the dome is a huge crystal ball, emitting a soft golden light that illuminates the entire hall as bright as day.
The ground was paved with gleaming marble, each slab polished smooth as a mirror, reflecting people's images. Twelve enormous stone pillars stood on either side, their shafts carved with intricate patterns.
At the end of the main hall is a high platform.
A person stood on the high platform.
