Hall Master Zhao and Joining the Tang Sect
Afterwards, when everyone went inside, the first thing they saw was an antique courtyard, which had a very elegant and quiet feel, and there was not even a trace of Soul Guidance technology.
"Oh? You brought both children?" a slightly deep voice asked.
"Hall Master Zhao, you've arrived." Wu Zhangkong, who was usually very arrogant, actually bowed to the old man.
"Alright, come in," said Hall Master Zhao.
Then, upon going further inside, they discovered that the interior was at least thirty meters high and much larger in area.
All around were enormous statues, each over ten meters tall.
Among those statues, the one at the very front is Aurora Douluo Long Shuang Han, and one of his wives, Long Qiu'er, while behind him are his wives and the Shrek Seven Devils of the same generation as Spirit Ice Douluo.
Further to the side, the second group was still led by Aurora Douluo, followed by the original Shrek Seven Devils.
After that, Wu Zhangkong led Wu Yang Jin and Tang Wu Lin to bow three times, and then the man named Hall Master Zhao led them inside again.
"Alright, come with me," said Hall Master Zhao.
"This courtyard is where Tang San, the first leader of the Tang Sect Tang San, founded the Tang Sect. It's also here that the story I told you about the Aurora Douluo being the only one happened. And this is the oldest part of the Tang Sect's history."
"Moreover, this place wasn't like this ten thousand years ago. Back then, it had fallen into the hands of others, but was later reclaimed by Aurora Douluo Long Shuang Han, Sihan Douluo Long Qiu'er, and Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao, along with their companions."
"Although this isn't the Tang Sect's headquarters, it holds significant historical importance and a crucial position within the Tang Sect. Every year, many core disciples of the Tang Sect come here to pay their respects."
"By the way, you've been officially approved to join the Tang Sect, which is why you had the opportunity to come here," Wu Zhangkong said.
"I've been approved to join? That means I'm now a true disciple of the Tang Sect!" Tang Wu Lin said excitedly.
"Congratulations, Wulin," Wu Yang Jin said.
Then, they stopped immediately, and Hall Master Zhao led everyone into a room.
"Get into bed," said Hall Master Zhao.
"Oh, okay," Tang Wu Lin replied.
"Ningshen and relax. Relax both your mind and body."
Tang Wu Lin did as instructed, and then he felt two powerful yet gentle Soul Power surge into his body from behind. Suddenly, everything went black before his eyes, and when he woke up, Wu Yang Jin, Wu Zhangkong, and Hall Master Zhao were all looking at him.
"Yes, no problem. With his current physical strength, he can withstand Thousand-Year Soul Ring without any issues, and he can handle Soul Ring up to four thousand years old," said Hall Master Zhao.
"Indeed, it seems our Tang Sect is about to have another rising star," said Hall Master Zhao.
Then, seeing that it was time, Wu Yang Jin also prepared to leave.
"The Tang Sect badges can be given now. I think both children are quite good, with great potential. You should teach them well," said Hall Master Zhao.
"I'll take you to the Spirit Pagoda first for a mental test."
Afterwards, Wu Zhangkong took Wu Yang Jin and Tang Wu Lin out, but Tang Wu Lin had been itching to ask a question ever since he heard what Hall Master Zhao said. When the time finally came to come out, he was eager to ask.
"Yang Jin, you've joined the Tang Sect?!" Tang Wu Lin asked excitedly.
"Yes, I made up my mind that day when I went to the cemetery," Wu Yang Jin said.
"That's wonderful, Yang Jin!" Tang Wu Lin almost cried with excitement.
"Alright, let's go," Wu Yang Jin comforted her.
One of the reasons was clear to Tang Wulin himself, and Wu Zhangkong was also very clear about it. But no matter what, it was a good thing, at least for Tang Wu Lin, Wu Yang Jin hadn't left.
This time, since the Spirit Pagoda of Heaven Dou City is located in the city center, and the Tang Sect is also located in the city center, the distance is not particularly far.
Moreover, they all look pretty much the same from the outside, but if you look closely, the Spirit Pagoda here looks a bit more ancient, and its scale is actually not as large as the Spirit Pagoda in Eastsea City.
"Remember, once you're inside, be careful with your words and actions, and try to speak as little as possible. Listen more and observe more. Remember not to judge a book by its cover; just like in the Spirit Pagoda, there are countless powerful individuals, and this is even more true in Heaven Dou City," Wu Zhangkong said.
After that, they went inside to the place where they tested their Spiritual Power. Tang Wu Lin's results were encouraging, and even Wu Zhangkong was somewhat shocked when he saw Tang Wu Lin's mental test results.
"150 points!" Tang Wu Lin exclaimed in surprise.
Then, Wu Yang Jin also sat down and tested his Spiritual Power.
"320 points!" Tang Wu Lin exclaimed.
That's right, at 320 points, although the gap between the two seems large, both have actually increased a lot, and compared to others individually, they are quite impressive.
"By the way, brother, I mentioned in the Tang Sect that since there's the possibility of advancing beyond one's level, wouldn't it be better to go for the intermediate level?" Wu Yang Jin asked.
"That's right. Because your Soul Ring is special, it might not require you to advance beyond your level, but absorbing Spiritual Energy is naturally necessary. The main purpose this time is to check on Wulin and help him complete his advancement beyond his level as soon as possible. Moreover, to avoid any potential problems this time, I will accompany you into the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform to help him advance beyond his level."
"Then, Wulin's main focus is on defeating higher-level Soul Beasts. Yang Jin, you should defeat more spirit beasts and absorb more Spiritual Energy. While you're at it, see if there's any way to awaken the bloodline or Martial Soul you mentioned before. Also, this time you need three entry cards for the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform. The Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform allows Soul Master below the seventh ring to enter, and I happen to be at the sixth ring."
"After all, this is Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform, and it's your first time entering. The Soul Beasts inside will be much stronger, and thankfully it's not during a period of unrest. Although they are still quite difficult to deal with, their age is indeed much higher. So if I accompany you in, it shouldn't take long for you to absorb enough Spiritual Energy and for Wulin to be able to ascend beyond his level. But we need to go to the auction now," Wu Zhangkong said.
After a while, the three of them went to the Heaven Dou Royal Auction, which was held inside a very large royal hotel in the city center.
Upon entering the hall, it was instantly brightly lit, with dazzling colorful murals covering the walls and enormous crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, creating an exceptionally magnificent atmosphere.
It's no wonder this is Heaven Dou City, no wonder this is an auction house; every seat here is a comfortable genuine leather sofa.
