Qian Gu Dongfeng's Recruitment

Imagine, in a group battle, if he were to simultaneously animate the shadows of dozens of enemies, and those shadows instantly backlashed their masters, how chaotic would the scene be?

And the only limitation of this Soul Skill was Soul Power.

The stronger the hostile soul master's strength, the more Soul Power was needed to animate their shadows.

With his current level 25 Soul Power, he could probably animate about ten enemies of the same level as himself, or animate one enemy two great realms higher than himself.

As for enemies of even higher realms, although he could still animate them, the strength of the shadows would become progressively lower.

But for Wang Zhi, this was already enough.

As his strength increased, the power of this Soul Skill would only become more terrifying.

The next day.

The Youth Ranking Competition continued.

Wang Zhi's opponent today was a young man from Shanwu City, whose Martial Soul was the Flame Lion, with a cultivation of a Two-Ring Soul Grand Master.

His strength was decent, but in front of Wang Zhi, it was still not enough.

One Ghost Shadow Ninja paired with one Ghost Shadow Warrior, and in less than a minute, they forced their opponent off the stage.

Wang Zhi won easily, successfully entering the Top 64.

Although the Youth Ranking Competition had bonus points for sub-professions, in essence, a soul master's comprehensive combat power was the true path.

As for anything else...

It was best if they existed, but their absence would basically not affect the outcome.

After all, this was the Douluo Continent, where strength was the deciding factor in everything.

Cheers erupted from the audience seats.

The name Wang Zhi was gradually becoming known to more and more people.

That young man from Hailu City had fought his way through, undefeated.

And at this moment, Wang Zhi had also caught the attention of certain individuals.

After the match ended, as he was preparing to leave, a Spirit Transmitter in a Spirit Transmitter Tower uniform proactively approached him.

The person's attitude was respectful, and their tone was gentle.

"Young Master Wang, the Tower Master requests your presence."

Wang Zhi was slightly stunned.

The Tower Master?

Qian Gu Dongfeng?

He hadn't expected the Spirit Transmitter Tower Master to personally summon him.

The competition had only reached the Top 64, and even if he had performed well, it shouldn't have alerted this person, right?

However, he didn't show much emotion on his face, only nodding.

"Alright."

Under the guidance of this Spirit Transmitter, the two took the Soul Guide Elevator and went all the way up.

The Spirit Transmitter Tower Headquarters towered into the clouds. The elevator continuously ascended, and after a long time, it finally stopped.

The door opened, revealing a corridor paved with a Deep Red carpet. Exquisite murals hung on both walls, and crystal lamps were placed every few steps.

This was the highest floor of the Spirit Transmitter Tower Headquarters.

It was Qian Gu Dongfeng's Exclusive Office.

The Spirit Transmitter led him to a tall door and gently knocked.

"Enter."

A deep voice came from inside the door.

The Spirit Transmitter pushed the door open and gestured to Wang Zhi.

"Young Master Wang, please."

He indicated for him to enter alone.

Wang Zhi stepped into the office, and the door behind him gently closed.

The first impression Wang Zhi had upon entering the office was... luxury!

Truly worthy of the Continent's wealthiest power.

The entire office was extremely spacious, nearly a thousand square meters.

The floor was covered with a carpet made of unknown beast hides, so soft it felt like sinking into it.

Along the walls stood rows of bookshelves, densely packed with ancient books.

The most eye-catching item was the desk, entirely crafted from Ten Thousand Year Golden Sandalwood, with various exquisite items displayed on its surface.

Before the floor-to-ceiling window, a figure stood with hands clasped behind his back.

The person was tall and imposing, with perfectly neat black hair. He wore a Deep Purple Robe, its hem embroidered with the Spirit Transmitter Tower Emblem.

Qian Gu Dongfeng, the Spirit Transmitter Tower Master, was one of the most powerful individuals in the current era.

Hearing the movement behind him, he turned around, his gaze falling upon Wang Zhi.

They were Deep Eyes, as if capable of seeing through everything.

"Please, have a seat."

Qian Gu Dongfeng gestured to the chair in front of the desk, his tone gentle.

Wang Zhi walked forward a few steps and sat down in the chair.

Qian Gu Dongfeng also returned to his own position, taking his seat behind the desk. He sized up the youth before him, a hint of admiration in his eyes.

"I imagine, young friend, you are also surprised why this Tower Master wishes to see you."

He didn't beat around the bush, getting straight to the point.

"I heard that during the Tianhai Competition, Wu Changkong from Shrek Academy attacked you without distinguishing right from wrong."

"This Tower Master also regrets that."

"If this Tower Master had been present then, I would have certainly sought justice for you, young friend."

Wang Zhi's gaze slightly narrowed.

He knew in his heart that Qian Gu Dongfeng's words were merely pleasantries.

Given his status and position, how could he possibly stand up for a youth he didn't even know?

But outwardly, he still lowered his head slightly.

"Tower Master Qian Gu is too kind."

"Ah."

Qian Gu Dongfeng waved his hand.

"It is not politeness."

"Rather, this Tower Master thinks highly of you, young friend."

He paused and continued.

"Perhaps Young Friend doesn't understand Shrek Academy."

"They have always been overbearing, considering themselves the number one on the Continent, acting without restraint."

"You have offended Wu Changkong, which means you have offended them."

"Now, you definitely cannot get into Shrek Academy."

"But--"

He looked directly into Wang Zhi's eyes.

"The gates of the Spirit Transmitter Tower..."

"Are still open for you."

Wang Zhi's heart tensed.

This is...

Qian Gu Dongfeng is inviting him to join the Spirit Transmitter Tower?

He didn't answer immediately, but after a moment of silence, he said softly.

"Please allow me to think about it a little longer, Tower Master."

This answer was neither humble nor arrogant, neither directly refusing nor rashly agreeing.

A flicker of satisfaction flashed in Qian Gu Dongfeng's eyes.

This Youth wasn't blinded by his status and promises, but instead remained clear-headed, which was indeed rare.

"That is natural."

He nodded, his expression still gentle.

"The gates of the Spirit Transmitter Tower are right here. As long as you've made up your mind, I, in the name of the Spirit Transmitter Tower Master, guarantee that you will receive treatment equivalent to that of an inner court core disciple of Shrek Academy within the Spirit Transmitter Tower."

Wang Zhi bowed slightly.

"Thank you, Tower Master."

A moment later, Wang Zhi bid farewell and left.

The office door closed gently.

Qian Gu Dongfeng stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the majestic city in the distance--

Shrek City.

He clasped his hands behind his back, lost in thought.

He personally came to recruit Wang Zhi to join the Spirit Transmitter Tower not because of Wang Zhi's talent.

The Spirit Transmitter Tower lacked everything but geniuses.

Every year, there were many youths like Wang Zhi who performed outstandingly on the Youth Ranking, yet he had never personally appeared for any of them.

What truly interested him was something else.

During the Tianhai Competition...

That Blade that heavily injured Wu Changkong.

That Blade Light...

He had investigated it many times but could never find its origin.

It was as if that Blade was unleashed from Wang Zhi, but he knew that was impossible.

No matter how much of a genius Wang Zhi was, he couldn't possibly injure Wu Changkong, an Eight Ring Soul Douluo, with the Strength of a Two Rings.

Not to mention that Wu Changkong was a disciple of Zhuo Shi, a Sea God Pavilion Elder, with rich combat experience, his Strength would only be stronger.

Therefore, this could only prove one thing...
