Arrival at Spirit City

Tang Hao was silent for a moment, then said, "The crisis is over. You can go to Spirit City without worry. Xiao San, come with me. I have something to say to you privately."

"Yes, Dad." Tang San also had many questions for Tang Hao, so he immediately followed.

"Your His Excellency Haotian, I have a quiet carriage here. Why don't you come over for a chat?" Ning Fengzhi suggested as Tang Hao turned to leave.

Tang Hao stopped in his tracks, thought for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement.

Xue Qinghe watched quietly from the side, never uttering a word.

"The Xiao San's father is actually Titled Douluo?"

"Tang Hao, the legendary Clear Sky Douluo!!"

"It was him!"

Seeing Tang Hao, Tang San, Ning Fengzhi, and the others board the carriage, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, and the others were astonished. Looking at Tang San, they were filled with envy, surprise, and jealousy. Having a Title Douluo as a father—who wouldn't envy such a powerful backer?

Even some of the teams present, along with their teachers, showed a degree of admiration when they met Tang Hao.

Wang Feng glanced at Tang San and Tang Hao, and thought to himself, "What a pity."

If Tang Hao hadn't appeared, Tang San would have been dead without a doubt, given Chrysanthemum Douluo's strength.

Moreover, Sword Douluo Chen Xin arrived at the worst possible time.

After the men in black left, Xue Qinghe led his troops to quickly regain their order and head towards Spirit City.

"Xiao Wu, aren't you going back to Tang San and the others?" Wang Feng asked Xiao Wu, who was hiding behind him.

From the appearance of Chrysanthemum Douluo, to Tang Hao, and now Sword Douluo Chen Xin, if Xiao Wu goes there, she might be captured immediately.

Now, hearing Wang Feng ask her this question, perhaps because she had studied with Wang Feng since childhood, had a good relationship with him, and had even slept with Wang Feng in a hotel, Xiao Wu trusted Wang Feng a lot.

He shook his head and said, "Wang Feng, can I stay here with you for a while? Also, I have something to tell you."

"What, Xiao Wu, aren't you going to find your third brother? His father is Titled Douluo powerhouse, wouldn't it be safer for you to go to his place?" Wang Feng said with a smile.

"No, I want to stay here with you."

Xiao Wu thought about the Titled Douluo and shook her head in refusal.

If she goes back, she will definitely be discovered. Only by staying by Wang Feng's side can she maintain her safety and livelihood.

"I see. Then it's up to you."

Wang Feng didn't force her; after all, he had slept with Xiao Wu, so helping her was only right.

After tidying up, everyone rejoined the group.

When Wang Feng returned to the carriage, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and Shui Yue'er saw that there was another woman present and stared at Wang Feng, asking what was going on.

They naturally knew Xiao Wu, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling, but the fact that she was now hanging out with Wang Feng made them somewhat unhappy.

"You should know Xiao Wu, she's from the Shrek Academy. I've known Xiao Wu since we were in junior academy, we're very close." Wang Feng immediately understood what Dugu Yan and the others meant and explained.

"Hello, I'm Xiao Wu." Xiao Wu said, giving Wang Feng a strange look. She hadn't expected Wang Feng to have so many women around him. What about Zhuqing? She knew about the relationship between Wang Feng and Zhu Zhuqing. In that case, wouldn't it be... Thinking of something, Xiao Wu became a little angry when she saw Wang Feng.

"Oh! Hello, Xiao Wu." Dugu Yan didn't think much of it, greeted her, and started chatting with Xiao Wu.

Then Ye Lingling and Shui Yue'er joined in, chatting about the man in black from earlier. As they talked, the four of them became familiar with each other, and Wang Feng, on the other hand, became more and more enthusiastic as they talked.

Wang Feng was preoccupied with other things and didn't say much.

Tang Hao's appearance just now clearly deviated from the original story.

Moreover, Chrysanthemum Douluo's strength seems unbelievably powerful; he was actually able to overpower Tang Hao.

Could the Lovesick Heartbreak Red really have such a significant effect on him?

But this is for the best, since he's going to join the Spirit Hall in the future.

The Chrysanthemum Douluo, the better it will be for him in the future.

It's a bit of a pity that Sword Douluo and Ning Fengzhi hadn't arrived earlier; they might have actually been able to kill Tang San and Tang Hao.

After putting aside what had just happened, Wang Feng thought of Xiao Wu beside him.

Xiao Wu, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Transformed Soul Beast, actually thought about going to the Spirit Hall, which was clearly suicidal.

Did she have some way to conceal her presence and prevent others from discovering her, or was she simply too confident that Tang San could protect her?

But thinking back to what just happened, it really is possible.

Now Wang Feng won't try to persuade Xiao Wu not to go to the Spirit Hall, nor will he say anything.

After all, he and Xiao Wu had only slept together once.

Our relationship isn't even that of a person, we're more like good friends.

On the other side, in Ning Fengzhi's carriage, Ning Fengzhi looked at Tang Hao and spoke.

"You saw the men in black just now, that's right, they're from the Spirit Hall. Their goal is to kill you Tang San."

"Kill me?"

"That's right, because you are the son of His Excellency Haotian. Once they know your identity, they will do everything in their power to kill you. This might just be the beginning."

After hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, Tang San looked at his father Tang Hao, with a puzzled expression.

Tang Hao nodded, then sighed, "Xiao San, it's time to tell you some things."

"My wife, your mother, Ah Yin. She died at the hands of the previous Pope of the Spirit Hall. My hatred for the Spirit Hall is irreconcilable."

"The Spirit Hall wanted to destroy me, and I want to destroy them to avenge your mother."

"I am now considered the Spirit Hall's number one enemy, which is why I haven't seen you for so many years. Once your identity is discovered, you will face the Spirit Hall's pursuit."

"Besides."

As Tang Hao spoke, he recounted how Tang San's mother was killed and how he was persecuted by the Spirit Hall.

As for Ning Fengzhi to the side, he didn't care much. After all, these things weren't exactly secrets to some people.

"The Spirit Hall is the murderer of my mother!"

"Dad, the injuries on your body were also caused by the Spirit Hall."

"Mom. Dad"

After hearing Tang Hao's words and hearing about some things, Tang San's eyes were filled with hatred.

No wonder he never saw his mother growing up; she was killed by the Spirit Hall.

No wonder his father left him for so many years; it turns out he was looking for a way to get revenge.

And his father has been hiding for so many years, afraid to show himself, all because of the Spirit Hall.

Now the Spirit Hall wants to kill him.

A strong sense of hatred, a hatred for the Spirit Hall, instantly filled Tang San's heart.

"You might face Life- threatening danger going to the Spirit Hall this time, Xiao San, are you sure you still want to go?" Tang Hao asked solemnly.

"Dad, I have to go. If I know it will be difficult and I'm afraid to face it, how can I avenge Mom?"

"Moreover, just as Uncle Ning Fengzhi said, the Spirit Hall doesn't dare to openly attack us."

"Good, as expected of my son, Tang Hao. This time, go ahead and compete. I will protect you secretly. Spirit Hall, humph!" Tang Hao said Lingling, his fists clenching as he thought of his deceased wife, Ah Yin.

His injuries have healed considerably thanks to Ning Fengzhi's treatment. Although he still has some hidden wounds, he is more than capable of protecting his son within the Spirit Hall.

Spirit Hall.

"It failed?"

Bibi Dong looked down at Chrysanthemum Douluo with a cold tone. She hadn't expected that Chrysanthemum Douluo, whose strength had reached level 97, would actually fail!

"It's my fault for failing in my duties!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo lowered his head and admitted his mistake. In front of Bibi Dong, he spoke normally, without his usual effeminate manner.

"Tell me what happened."

Bibi Dong thought for a moment, but instead of blaming Chrysanthemum Douluo Chrysanthemum Douluo, she asked him to explain what had happened.

"Yes, Your His Holiness the Pope!"

In response, just as Chrysanthemum Douluo was about to kill Tang San, Tang Hao appeared. After the two exchanged blows, Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi arrived, forcing him to retreat.

"Tang Hao? He's ruined my plans again. Humph!"

The mere thought of Tang Hao sent a chill down Bibi Dong's spine.

She would never let Tang Hao, an enemy of the Spirit Hall, go.

"Now that he dares to show himself, what will happen next?" Bibi Dong sneered, ordering her men to prepare.

"Alright, Xiao San, you two head to the Spirit Hall. I have some other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."

After chatting with Tang San and the others for a while, Tang Hao gave them some instructions and then left.

Tang San watched his father leave, his fists clenched, and he secretly vowed that once he became powerful enough, he would destroy the Spirit Hall and avenge his mother.

"Hey, where's Xiao Wu?"

After Tang Hao left, Ning Rongrong, who was standing nearby, noticed that Xiao Wu was missing and exclaimed in surprise.

"Xiao Wu?"

Upon hearing this, Tang San immediately realized what was happening.

It seems he hasn't seen Xiao Wu since the fight started. And he was so focused on talking to his father that he completely ignored Xiao Wu.

Thinking of this, Tang San became very worried and quickly began searching.

"Xiao Wu, where did Xiao Wu go?"

After searching for a while and asking many people, Tang San still couldn't find Xiao Wu, and he began to doubt himself.

Just as Tang San passed by the carriage where Wang Feng was, Wang Feng, inside the carriage, saw Tang San's panicked appearance and sneered.

Tang San didn't seem so anxious when Tang Hao arrived, but now that Tang Hao is gone, Tang San is anxious.

What a petty person he is, always backing down the hatchet.

"Xiao Wu..."

"What are you doing here with Wang Feng? You have no idea how worried I was! I was looking everywhere for you."

At this moment, Tang San saw Xiao Wu in Wang Feng's carriage through the window. He breathed a sigh of relief but was also a little unhappy and quickly asked her what was wrong.

He had never liked Wang Feng, and even felt a bit disgusted by him. Now, he was worried that something might have happened to Xiao Wu and was looking for her everywhere, while she was chatting and laughing with Wang Feng in the car. Suddenly, a feeling of unease filled his heart.

Hearing Tang San's anxious voice, Xiao Wu went to the window, intending to peek out to see Tang San. However, she was in such a hurry that she accidentally fell into Wang Feng's arms, who was sitting by the window.

"Be careful." Wang Feng gently reminded her, his arm around Xiao Wu's slender waist, while leaning out to say to Tang San, "Tang San, Xiao Wu is doing very well with me. You don't need to worry too much."

Upon hearing Xiao Wu Wang Feng's words, Xiao Wu, who had been throwing herself at him, hesitated for a moment and did not stand up immediately.

Wang Feng seemed to sense Xiao Wu 'Xiao Wu movements, and tightened his grip on her waist, making Xiao Wu nestle against him like a kitten.

At the same time, she glanced at Tang San outside the carriage, and deliberately, with one hand tightly holding Xiao Wu's waist, and the other hand casually placed on Xiao Wu's slender legs, making Xiao Wu lean more steadily.

At that moment, when he looked at Tang San outside the carriage, he felt a sense of comfort for some reason.

"Xiao Wu... you... all..."

When Tang San saw Xiao Wu clinging to Wang Feng like that, and noticed Wang Feng's hands on Xiao Wu's waist and legs, a certain possibility occurred to him. His voice trembled as he asked, and his gaze towards Wang Feng was filled with anger.

"It's nothing!"

Realizing what had happened, Xiao Wu quickly tried to get off Wang Feng.

Unexpectedly, Wang Feng hugged her rather tightly. Xiao Wu gave Wang Feng a reproachful look, then chuckled and said to Tang San outside the carriage, "Third Brother, it was too chaotic just now, so I came to Wang Feng's place."

"Is that so? Xiao Wu, I'm so glad you're alright." Tang San was a little suspicious, but didn't think much of it. However, seeing Xiao Wu still nestled in Wang Feng's arms, and Wang Feng holding Xiao Wu so intimately, a bad feeling crept over him.

"Xiao Wu, remember to look where you're going next time you walk, okay?" Wang Feng stopped when he saw that she was right, and after giving Xiao Wu a reminder, he let go of Xiao Wu and made her stand properly.

"Xiao Wu, come out quickly."

"Hmm. By the way, Third Brother, have your father and the others left?" Xiao Wu asked as she stood up from Wang Feng's arms.

"He's gone."

Only after knowing that Tang Hao and the others had left did Xiao Wu breathe a sigh of relief. She then said goodbye to Wang Feng, Dugu Yan, and the others before returning to their carriage with Tang San.

As Tang San left, he saw Wang Feng's strange smile and felt a sudden tightness in his chest. A strange feeling arose in his heart.

Several days after the attack, Wang Feng's Heaven Dou Empire team finally arrived Spirit City.

Regarding the Spirit Hall.

Opinions are mixed.

From the perspective of ordinary people, the Spirit Hall is undoubtedly a very good organization.

One of the best aspects is that it helps ordinary people awaken their Martial Soul for free and provides subsidies.

Moreover, it applies to the entire continent.

If you think about the original work, you'll know that Tang Hao was hiding in the remote Holy Soul Village, a place so remote that even the Spirit Hall couldn't find him. Yet, the Spirit Hall was able to send Soul Master to Holy Soul Village every year to help ordinary civilians awaken their Martial Soul.

Regardless of their motives, the Spirit Hall did an excellent job in this regard.

It's worth noting that even Wang Feng and Tang San's Martial Soul were awakened with the help of the Spirit Hall, and they received quite a bit of subsidies on a regular basis.

The two great empires, on the other hand, would not do that.

In the eyes of most nobles in the empire, commoners were just commoners; they were nobles, so how could they possibly help these commoners?

From the perspective of Soul Master, neither of the two empires is a good thing.

The Spirit Hall is the only place where a Soul Master can truly cultivate in peace.

After becoming Soul Master, there are many places that recruit you, but the best choice is actually the Spirit Hall.

Because whether it's Soul Master family or the two great empires, frankly speaking, they're just using Soul Master to enhance their own power.

The Spirit Hall can be said to exist entirely for the purpose of enhancing the power of Soul Master.

The Spirit Hall doesn't care about your background; as long as you have good aptitude, you can continue cultivating and obtain a lot of resources.

If you cultivate to the Titled Douluo, you usually don't need to do much else in the Spirit Hall. If you reach level 95, you can directly enter the Elder Hall, where you don't need to worry about anything and can just focus on cultivating.

Even if one doesn't reach such a high level, the Spirit Hall usually doesn't need to seize territory, so after entering the Spirit Hall, one can cultivate in peace without needing to expand their own territory.

Furthermore, the Spirit Hall highly respects Soul Master.

As we all know, there are Spirit Arena on the mainland. The Spirit Arena serve two purposes: to entertain the audience and to allow Soul Master to improve their strength and earn extra income.

Although such viewing is only allowed with the consent of both parties—because if you participate in the competition, you will definitely know in advance that someone will be watching, so you can choose not to participate if you don't agree—for these Soul Master, it has become a kind of entertainment activity for the nobility.

Ordinary people are not allowed to enter the Spirit Hall's competitions, so only Soul Master can enter. In the end, only a few Soul Master teams can actually watch the competition.

Although the Spirit Hall is not a particularly righteous organization, I personally believe that it is indeed better than the two great empires in terms of respect for Soul Master. At least in the Spirit Hall Soul Master Tournament, unlike other empires, it did not treat the competition as a monkey show or an entertainment project, but genuinely aimed to allow Soul Master to compete, rather than as a form of entertainment for others.

As for hunting Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, the Spirit Hall's actions were neither right nor wrong. After all, what Soul Master doesn't hunt Spirit Beast?

In the original novel, Tang San's relationship with the Spirit Hall was purely one of personal vendetta.

The Spirit Hall's hunting of Spirit Beast is Evil, while his hunting of Spirit Beast is righteous.

Anyone who harms those around him is Evil and deserves to die.

He hurt someone. Sorry, you deserve to die.

Without a doubt, Tang San is a hypocrite.

Back to the main topic

As soon as Wang Feng and his group entered Spirit City, they could see the Papal Hall towering in the center of the Spirit City, as well as the majestic Angel God Statue.

In a few days, they will hold their final match in the Papal Hall.

Moreover, some academies have already received word that the winner of this competition will receive three Soul Bone.

Soul Bone have been revered as treasures by Soul Master since ancient times, let alone three of them. Every team is eagerly anticipating the competition three days from now.

After entering Spirit City, Wang Feng said goodbye to Dugu Yan and the others, and then wandered around Spirit City on his own.

Upon arriving in the city, the first thing one feels is its prosperity and bustle. In Spirit City, there is no distinction between nobles and commoners.

However, the people here must worship the Spirit Hall, which has a religious aspect, and this is a bad thing in Wang Feng's view.

But none of that matters, since the Spirit Hall is essentially a religion!

"Faith may not be good for a nation, but it's incredibly important for certain things, like becoming a god."

In this world, the only way to attain godhood besides inheriting Godhood is through faith and becoming a god.

"Faith is still necessary. I'm planning to use faith to become a god. After unifying the world, all I need to do is change the object of their faith to me!"

After thinking about it, Wang Feng felt that faith was still very useful.

After this competition, he will join the Spirit Hall; this was his initial plan.

After joining the Spirit Hall, as his strength grows, he will help Qian Renxue or Bibi Dong unify the continent.

After that, once he becomes powerful enough to accomplish what he desires, it will be his turn to act.

After wandering around Spirit City for a while, Wang Feng headed back to his hotel.
