The Heaven Dou Royal Team's archer
Regarding the plan to win over the Four Clans, Chen Feng had only ever devised the scheme, never personally putting it into practice.
Because he is too young and his immature appearance makes him unconvincing, it would be better for Ning Fengzhi to carry out the plan.
Anyway, Ning Fengzhi is also very good at this and is fully capable of completing Chen Feng's plan.
Yang Wudi agreed to Ning Fengzhi's request without much hesitation.
The Breaking Clan's previous network of operations was based in the Star Luo Empire, mainly because the Clear Sky Sect was located in the Star Luo Empire, and the Breaking Clan, which was once under its jurisdiction, naturally operated primarily there.
If they can now cooperate with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School, the Breaking Clan's pharmaceutical business can expand to the Heaven Dou Empire, greatly broadening their market reach.
Moreover, big clients like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect are rare finds; the Defense Clan made a fortune from them back then, so Yang Wudi certainly had no reason to refuse.
He immediately told Ning Fengzhi about the effects of several Body-Tempering Medicinal Liquid he knew, and let Ning Fengzhi choose the one he liked.
After Ning Fengzhi made his selection, the collaboration officially began.
"However, I heard that the Breaking Clan mainly operates in the Star Luo Empire. Wouldn't it be a bit inconvenient if they wanted to supply medicine to our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?" Ning Fengzhi suddenly asked a question.
"It will indeed be inconvenient. Does Sect Master Ning have any good solutions?" Yang Wudi asked.
"How about this, I can clear out a piece of land near the sect, and then your Breaking Clan can send people to be stationed there. You can also tell us what infrastructure you need, and we will help you procure it."
"This will make the manufacturing and delivery of the medicine much easier. We can even help you purchase the necessary herbs according to your requirements. You only need to focus on making the medicine. Of course, this is not mandatory. If you feel that this will reveal the prescription, you can purchase the herbs yourself," Ning Fengzhi said with a smile.
Yang Wudi turned and looked at Niu Gao, whose expression was subtle, not far away. After a moment of silence, he said:
"Sect Master Ning, your intentions are quite obvious. Are you planning to use the same tactics you employed against the Defense Clan against my Breaking Clan?"
Ning Fengzhi slightly and said, "It's true that I admire Clan Leader Yang and your Breaking Clan, and it's also true that I want to do business with Clan Leader Yang Clan Leader Yang. It just depends on whether you're willing to take on this business."
The reason why Overt Scheme is Overt Scheme" is that it lays its mind out in the open and has no fear of being exposed.
Ning Fengzhi has made it clear that he truly admires the Breaking Clan and has expressed his desire to do business with the Breaking Clan. He has even set up this elaborate scheme, just to see if Yang Wudi is willing to join in.
Yang Wudi knew the background of the Defense Clan's entry into Qibao, and he also knew that Ning Fengzhi wouldn't resort to any underhanded tricks. The other party relied on honorable means, winning people over little by little through friendship and personal charm.
Such methods are difficult to counter. Either Yang Wudi would reject Ning Fengzhi's proposal from the outset and prefer to conduct business in an inconvenient manner.
Or, to be even more straightforward, simply refuse to do business with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
If Yang Wudi accepts Ning Fengzhi's business and proposal, then he must maintain his belief in not being swayed until the business deal between the two parties is finalized.
This could be ten or twenty years, or it could be fifty or a hundred years, because this is a transcendent world, and even Soul Saint can live for a considerable time.
Not to mention that Chen Feng is likely to be the next leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect; would he really cut off this business deal?
That's definitely impossible.
Even if Yang Wudi himself could remain steadfast throughout his life, what about his successor?
This is quite different from the Clear Sky Sect's style of doing things. The Clear Sky Sect's method of dealing with the Four Clans is to control them, and they initially subdued the Four Clans by force.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's current method is assimilation, and they've even openly assimilated carriages and horses. After assimilation, everyone will be intertwined, and we'll all be one family.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School is not entirely populated by Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Master; there are also a considerable number of other Martial Soul Master, such as Old Meng, who was tasked with protecting Chen Feng.
These Soul Master were gradually assimilated into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect over a long period of time, and the assimilation method at that time was basically through marriage.
Now, Chen Feng has provided Ning Fengzhi with a new method of assimilation, called Trade Assimilation.
First, establish a trade partnership with the other party, then strengthen communication between personnel. Once the relationship has become close enough, the other party's integration will be a natural outcome should external pressure arise.
Although Yang Wudi was not entirely clear about the intricacies, the fate of the Defense Clan was right before his eyes.
Although the Defense Clan is currently living a comfortable life, that's the problem. If the Defense Clan were not doing well, Yang Wudi wouldn't need to worry, because he knows he definitely wouldn't fall for their tricks.
The key point is that the Defense Clan is living much better than before, even more comfortably than during their time in the Clear Sky Sect. This makes Yang Wudi unsure whether he will fall victim to their scheme in the future.
"Clan Leader Yang, what's your decision?" Ning Fengzhi asked gently.
Yang Wudi gave a wry smile. "Sect Master Ning's methods are truly impressive. Yang Wudi admire them. I accept Sect Master Ning's plan."
In the end, Yang Wudi accepted Ning Fengzhi's proposal in its entirety, because it was indeed beneficial to the Breaking Clan.
As for the future, Yang Wudi felt that if that day ever came and he was won over by Ning Fengzhi's personal charm, then the Breaking Clan would naturally submit to him.
Anyway, it's not a bad thing; aren't the Speed and Defense Clans doing quite well these days?
What Yang Wudi didn't know was that when he had this thought in his mind, it was only a matter of time before the Breaking Clan entered the Seven Treasures Sect.
In the following days, Yang Wudi and Ning Fengzhi held detailed discussions on the cooperation between the two parties and finally reached an agreement.
At the same time, Chen Feng and his teammates once again threw themselves into training.
This Combat Training will last for two months, during which Chen Feng and others have made significant progress in their combat experience and pre-battle mentality.
While making frequent trips to the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena, Chen Feng finally found an opportunity to observe the Team Battle battle of the Heaven Dou Royal Team.
Their opponents were a team from the Frost Duchy, who came looking for a challenger. The Heaven Dou Royal Team accepted their challenge.
At this time, Yu Tianheng had already broken through to the Soul Ancestor Realm, possessing Soul Power of level 41, while Dugu Yan's Soul Power was even higher than Yu Tianheng's, at level 43.
Clearly, Dugu Bo had already given her the Immortal Herb that Tang San had chosen for her, the Nine-Rank Dragon Ganoderma, which could strengthen the Bloodline of the dragon race.
Besides the two of them, there was another person from the Heaven Dou Royal Team who caught Chen Feng's attention.
That's their marksman position.
In the Original Work, the character Yufeng is just a minor character; he appears once and then has no further presence.
In the Manga, Yufeng is Bai Chenxiang's alias, the identity she uses after she refuses to submit to fate and attempts to absorb Offensive Soul Ring.
Now that Bai Chenxiang has become a member of the Nine-Headed Serpent Team, there are two possibilities for the marksman position in the Heaven Dou Royal Team.
One option is to remain as Yufeng, and the other is to become someone else entirely, with Yufeng no longer existing.
Judging from the current situation of the Heaven Dou Royal Team, it falls into the latter category; they have changed their marksman.
He was a young man Tang Ying, whose Martial Soul was a large purple bow called the Purple Splendor Bow, and his Soul Power was Level 39.
This was a Martial Soul that wasn't unfamiliar to Chen Feng. He remembered that this Martial Soul had also appeared in the Douluo Dalu 2 era, and it belonged to a Martial Soul of the Zhengtian Academy in the Heavenly Soul Empire.
The student's name is Tang Xiaolei. Judging from his surname and Martial Soul, he is very likely related to this Tang Ying.
Unlike Yufeng, Tang Ying does not have the ability to fly. Instead, he is an infantry archer. In Team Battle, he is positioned not far in front of Ye Lingling, in a very rear position within the team.
Furthermore, in the Team Battle of the Heaven Dou Royal Team that Chen Feng observed, Tang Ying did not make a single move, nor did he even summon his Martial Soul; he merely watched the entire match.
If the Great Soul Arena hadn't opened betting odds before each Team Battle and displayed the basic information of both sides, Chen Feng might not have noticed this person's special qualities.
After all, the fact that the Heaven Dou Royal Team has changed its marksman means that Yufeng in this world is Bai Chenxiang, if Yufeng appears.
So when Bai Chenxiang became a member of the Nine-Headed Serpent Team, the Heaven Dou Royal Team had to fill the gap by adding a marksman to fill their missing position.
The replacement player might not be very strong; they might just be there to make up the numbers.
However, when Chen Feng saw what Tang Ying's Martial Soul was, he knew that this person was definitely not just there to make up the numbers, and would be a key combat force.
In Douluo Dalu 2, Tang Xiaolei, as the owner of the Purple Splendor Bow Martial Soul, can transform his Soul Ring into arrows and launch them, the power of which should not be underestimated.
Even when he fired his Hundred-Year Soul Ring, he was able to shoot a small hole in the Protective Shield of the Spirit Master Tournament arena at that time. Keep in mind that the Protective Shield was constructed by Soul Master ten thousand years later.
Clearly, Tang Xiaolei, who possesses the Purple Splendor Bow as his Martial Soul, is positioned as Sniper, using a small but powerful attack to snipe key opponents.
By the same token, Tang Ying is likely positioned in the same way now, and he has been used as a secret weapon by the Heaven Dou Royal Team, not exposed in the Great Soul Arena.
Although Chen Feng already knew.
However, even if one person was merely observing from the sidelines during Team Battle, not even summoning their Martial Soul and just coasting along, it still couldn't stop the Heaven Dou Royal Team from crushing their opponents in Team Battle.
Judging solely from the Team Battle that Chen Feng witnessed, the Heaven Dou Royal Team's opponent was a standard Level 40 team, meaning that all of its members had Soul Power of Level 40 or higher.
The Heaven Dou Royal Team only has two Soul Ancestor, a mix of Soul Ancestor Soul Elder, with Soul Elder being the dominant one.
However, the Heaven Dou Royal Team won without encountering any major setbacks because the entire team was perfectly integrated and executed their tactics very smoothly.
In the Team Battle, the Heaven Dou Royal Team first formed an odd formation, with Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan standing at the very front of the team.
Yu Tianheng was in front, Dugu Yan was a little behind.
Behind them, the other five people stood in a small square formation, and the entire team's formation looked like the word "you".
Tang Ying was in the center of the formation, Ye Lingling was at the back, and Osler was wandering around Ye Lingling.
Yes, as an assassin, he had no intention of entering the enemy ranks to assassinate them; instead, he saw himself as a bodyguard.
The Shi Brothers, acting as protectors, joined Osler in shielding Tang Ying and Ye Lingling within the formation.
Upon first seeing this formation, Chen Feng had a bad feeling, and the subsequent actions of the Heaven Dou Royal Team proved his premonition correct.
First, Dugu Yan began to release poison, and unlike in the Original Work where she released Poison Mist, she directly sprayed Poison Water.
After Dugu Yan used her Soul Ring, she sprayed the green, Poison Water forward, and it began to overflow and spread.
Strangely, however, the Poison Water bypassed Yu Tianheng's location and continued to spread forward.
Clearly, this Poison Water was controlled by Dugu Yan.
The opponents of the Heaven Dou Royal Team naturally knew that the Poison Water should not be touched lightly, but they believed that it was Poison Water, not Poison Mist.
Even if they stepped on it, with their shoes as a barrier, what harm could the Poison Water do to them?
So they tried stepping on it, and sure enough, it didn't have any effect, which made them overjoyed.
Some of them even mocked Dugu Yan, saying she was just a pretty face.
Dugu Yan merely watched with amusement, ignoring these country bumpkins from the duchy.
Only when her opponent charged towards her through the Poison Water did Dugu Yan make her move. She took a step back, distancing herself from the Poison Water she had sprayed.
At the same time, Yu Tianheng also took action, making a pressing motion with one hand in front of him.
The next moment, a dazzling flash of lightning appeared.
The electric light traveled rapidly through the Poison Water, directly penetrating the bodies of several of the enemy's Vanguard were charging towards them, causing them to feel a numbing sensation.
Originally, this wouldn't have caused any serious consequences, but after the Poison Water Electrification, a layer of misty green gas rose from Poison Water, causing several of the opponent's Vanguard to fall to the ground and spreading throughout the entire Soul Fighting Arena, including the direction of the Heaven Dou Royal Team.
At this moment, Ye Lingling exerted her power. White light, like flower petals, flew out from her body and entered her teammates' bodies, resisting the effects of the toxin.
But their opponents did not receive such treatment and could only fall one by one amidst the Poison Gas.
In the end, the Heaven Dou Royal Team won as expected.
