Three years passed in a blink of an eye.
Just as the three Gui Mengguan expected, in the past three years, the entire Douluo Continent has fallen into a strange and long calm.
Three years ago, the tragedy of the Spirit Hall Soul Master group's total annihilation made the entire human world tremble. All-Continent Anti-Beast Alliance's defense line was impregnable, and all forces were on guard day and night, fearing that Ferocious Beast of Star Dou Forest would overwhelm the human world.
But no one expected that after that earth-shattering warning, Star Dou Forest would go completely silent.
In the past three years, Soul Hunting activities outside Star Dou have returned to normal. There are even bold Soul Hunting teams who dare to go deep into the central region to search for centuries and millenniums. Soul Beast has never encountered the situation where the whole army was wiped out quietly like that before. Not to mention the hordes of beasts that destroyed the world, even the frequent incidents of Soul Beast injuring people in previous years have been reduced by more than half.
Over time, the Soul Master people on the mainland gradually relaxed their tense nerves.
The rumors gradually changed. From the initial panic about Star Dou's top-level Ferocious Beast, it turned into claims that "it was Spirit Hall who made a mistake in his operation and offended the beast king of Star Dou, which led to the fatal disaster" and "it was just a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast that had lived for a long time and was not as scary as the rumors said."
Even the defense line of the Anti-Beast Alliance has slowly dropped from the initial first-level combat readiness to daily duty. The two empires withdrew most of the Soul Master legions stationed there, and the major sects also recalled their spies outside. Only Spirit Hall was left, who was still insisting on normal monitoring of Star Dou Forest.
Similarly, those time-travelers and reborn people scattered across the continent also fell into an unprecedented calm.
There was no mutual testing or fighting as expected, and no one jumped out to cut off the opportunity in advance and rewrite the plot. Everyone seemed to have made an appointment and chose to hibernate.
Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's Yu Tianmeng guarded the sect's top resources and practiced hard behind closed doors. Apart from the necessary training for the sect, they almost never left the mountain.
Lin Mo and Lin Mo from Spirit City also stayed with the Spirit Hall. They did not contact Shrek Academy in advance, nor did they look around for other time travellers. They just cultivated and developed peacefully.
Even Lin Yue, who was traveling alone, completely disappeared into the sea of people, and no one could trace her traces anymore.
Everyone seems to understand tacitly that before Tang San, the core plot anchor, officially enters the main line, any early emergence and internal friction will be meaningless suicide.
Only by holding on to the strength in your hands and waiting until the moment when the twelve-year-old Tang San steps into the Shrek Academy can the real start be made.
Spirit City From the secret cultivation room deep in the Worship Hall, three figures came out one after another.
Three years of seclusion and hard training have made the three teenagers lose their initial youthfulness. The Soul Power fluctuations around their bodies are calm and heavy, and they are no longer what they were when they first entered Spirit Hall.
Gui Mengguan walked in the front, the mental energy around him was condensed to the point where it was almost transformed into substance. His eyes were clear and deep, and even if he just glanced at them casually, he would give people the feeling of being completely seen through.
In the past three years, he relied on the soul foundation laid by Primordial Unity Immortal Herb and combined with the Worship Hall's mental power to practice the secret method. Soul Power has steadily broken through to the fifty-second level Soul King. His control over Martial Soul has already reached a subtle level. Even Titled Douluo can hardly suppress him at the mental level.
Qian Gujue, who followed closely behind, was much taller than three years ago. His muscles were smooth and full of explosive power. With a tap of Coiling Dragon Staff in his hand, the ground trembled slightly. Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum's medicinal power was completely refined by him, and his physical body was the same as 's. Martial Soul has been tempered to the extreme. Now he is level 53 Power Attack System Battle Soul King. With his brute force and Coiling Dragon Staff's domineering Soul Skill, he dares to challenge even an ordinary Soul Emperor head-on.
Oupai, who was walking at the end, had an extremely restrained aura, just like an ordinary boy. But if you sense it carefully, you can find that the Soul Power around him is flowing with extreme penetration and explosion.
"It's been three years, and I'm finally out of seclusion." Qian Gujue moved his muscles and bones, and the joints made a crackling sound. His face was full of joy, "I didn't expect that this seclusion would directly lead to the Soul King realm. Worship Hall's resources are really outrageous."
"The peace of these three years has given us a chance to breathe." Gui Mengguan nodded slightly, looked outside Spirit City, and said calmly, "As we expected, in the past three years, no one jumped out in advance to mess around with the plot. It seems that everyone is practicing hard, waiting for Tang San to reach the point of Shrek."
Oupai nodded. "Yes, it's just like we made an appointment, I just don't know if I will show up then."
"That's really hard to say." Gui Mengguan chuckled, without any surprise in his eyes, "Everyone is a time traveler, and no one is stupid. If you jump out early, you will only become the target of public criticism. Only by holding on to your strength is the last word.
The day when Tang San turns twelve and the plot officially begins is not far away."
Qian Gujue clenched the Coiling Dragon Staff in his hand, and a sharp look flashed in his eyes. "What are you afraid of? We have not been idle in the past three years. With Soul King's cultivation, even if we are really matched up, we are still capable of fighting. What's more, with the Spirit Hall on our back, we are much more confident than those guys who fight alone."
Unless they are worse than ours.
The three of them looked at each other and saw determination in each other's eyes.
During these three years of dormancy, they not only improved their cultivation, but also used the permission of the Worship Hall to understand the internal structure of the Spirit Hall, and established a stable relationship with the two priests Qian Jun and Jiang Mo. They have already established a firm foothold in the Spirit Hall system.
Compared with the caution and dilemma three years ago, they now have the confidence to protect themselves in this chaos and even influence the situation.
At the same moment when the three of them were leaving seclusion, deep inside the Spirit Hall, inside the Judgment Hall, a summons that determined the future was quietly taking place.
Judgment Hall It is not as grand and public as the main hall. Twelve giant obsidian pillars engraved with dragon patterns and thunder patterns support the towering dome. The light in the hall is dim, and only the night pearl at the top sheds a cool glow, making the entire hall look solemn and cold, just like the woman sitting on the throne.
Bibi Dong is wearing a black adjudication robe with dark gold trim. He has a peerless appearance, but his brows and eyes carry a coldness and majesty that understands the world. His whole body Soul Power is undulating and restrained, but he has something that makes Titled Douluo The sense of oppression that makes hold his breath. She is the most powerful person under the Spirit Hall Adjudicator Elder and Qian Daoliu, and she is also the adoptive mother who has raised Tang San for six full years.
Below, a young figure in black attire is standing with his hands hanging down, his posture is as tall as a pine tree. He is none other than Tang San.
