After more than ten days, Sect Re-selection Conference ended.
Lower Four Sects returned to their respective sects' headquarters with the palace flag given by the Spirit Hall. Soul Master who was watching the ceremony also gradually left, and Spirit Hall returned to its former deserted state.
The newly released Lower Four Sects is obviously grateful for the support and trust of the two empires and Spirit Hall, but in fact it has made it clear that only Spirit Hall is the one to respect.
At the same time, the news that Clear Sky Sect, the leader of Upper Three Gates, the largest sect in the mainland, was expelled also spread to Soul Master World, but the ripples caused were not too big, because Clear Sky Sect has been hidden from the world for several years, and it is difficult to see Clear Sky Sect's disciples on the mainland.
After receiving this news, many people just sighed and lamented the end of the once glorious life.
Careful people have seen the subtle changes in the current situation brought about by the Clear Sky Sect being removed from the list, and at the same time guessed who will be squeezed into Upper Three Sects next.
Could it be one of Lower Four Sects?
Or will it be a new dark horse?
······
"No, Xie Yue, Yan, I don't think so. I heard my father say that Upper Three Sects represents the top power of Soul Master World, whether in terms of strength, resource control, inheritance, etc. Martial Soul is top-notch in all aspects, but in terms of strength alone, Soul Master World is simply not comparable to the current sects Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."
"So, this location should be vacant for a long time."
"Huxiao, what do you think?"
On a carriage heading to the east of the Heaven Dou Empire, Ao Li'ao was chatting and carefully analyzing the current situation of Soul Master World. Compared with the image of Soul Master World, which has always been free from showmanship, this is a rare sight.
It's obvious that Ao Li'ao is very interested in this topic.
"Maybe"
Xu Huxiao was very aware of the changes in the situation on the mainland, but he did not say much.
If the plot of the previous original work is followed, Ao Li'ao is right. The position of Upper Three Sects will remain vacant for the next dozen years. It will not be until Bibi Dong is accumulated, fully controlled by the Spirit Hall, and Soul Hunting Operation is launched that the pattern of the mainland will be completely broken.
Now that the variable Evil Weirdness has been added, Bibi Dong has begun to make an irreversible transformation towards Weird Soul Master. In the latest information obtained by Eye of Omniscience, Bibi Dong has broken through to level ninety-six, which is obvious. Due to Weird Meditation Method's erosion, at this rate of improvement, Xu Huxiao feels that it will not take more than ten years. When Bibi Dong's strength reaches Level 99 Limit Douluo and Weird Soul Master's transformation is completely completed, the mainland will usher in a tremendous change.
At this time, Borba shouted from the carriage driving position, "Huxiao, it's you who will drive."
"Okay, teacher."
Xu Huxiao and Borba exchanged places and drove the carriage to the east.
More than ten days ago, he announced the news that he had broken through level 30, and stated that the Soul Beast he hunted for the third time Soul Ring was not Star Dou Great Forest, but Golden Rock Giant Elephant who survived east of Tiandou in the direction of Lost Grand Canyon.
After hearing this news, Borba immediately decided to use this experience of Xu Huxiao hunting the third Soul Ring Soul Beast as an experience for their team to exercise their ability to cooperate in the wild.
At the same time, after hunting Soul Beast, their team will also complete an assessment task to advance to the Advanced Soul Master Academy:
Cooperate with Punishment Warrior to pursue Hyena Soul Bandit Group who has been killing civilians in the village in recent days.
This notorious Hyena Soul Bandit Group seems to have gone crazy for some reason. In the past few months, it has committed crimes one after another, burning, killing and looting. Not only civilians, but also many nobles and lone Soul Master were murdered by them. Spirit Hall immediately issued a pursuit order, which was executed by Punishment Warrior.
The task of Xu Huxiao and his team is to cooperate in tracing the clues of Hyena Soul Bandit Group and at the same time broaden their horizons, because this soul thief group Soul Ancestor and Soul King is not a minority, there are twenty or thirty people, and the leader Yanluo has reached level 70 Soul Sage, which is not something that their fledgling team can deal with.
After completing this assessment task, their team will be promoted to the Spirit Hall high-level academy as the only Gold Rank team. The original Golden Seven Sons will retreat to Silver Seven Sons and become the elite team determined by Silver Rank.
Faced with Borba's remarks, Xu Huxiao said it was no problem at all.
After two days of preparation, the eight members of their team, two teachers Borba and Gale, and Xu Huxiao's book boy Ghost Child, set off together from the Spirit Hall.
Now they have been traveling for half a month, and they are still half a month away from Tiandou's easternmost destination, Yellow Sand Lost Grand Canyon.
Borba rented two carriages, one for male students and one for female students. The teacher and the boys from the team took turns being the driver, and each person took turns for half a day.
It's past noon now, so the person driving in the afternoon will naturally change, and it's Xu Huxiao's turn.
······
Lost Grand Canyon is at the easternmost edge of the Heaven Dou Empire and needs to pass through the Cupid Kingdom and Maitexier Duchy to reach it. Different from the lake island structure of the Cupid Kingdom, Maitexier Duchy is mostly mountains, hills and basins, with a tropical climate, with towering mountains, year-round clouds and mist, abundant rain, hot and humid climate, and lush vegetation.
The road from Spirit City to Cupid Thousand Islands Lake is relatively easy to walk. To reach Maitexier, you need to cross mountains and ridges. The carriage team of Xu Huxiao took a lot of time.
After passing through this mountain principality and traveling for another five days, we arrived at our destination.
Yellow Sand Lost Grand Canyon.
The climate here is hot and rainfall is scarce all year round. As far as the eye can see, there is a vast area of yellow sand and Gobi desert, as well as exposed rock canyons of different shapes. Only some low shrubs and vegetation can be seen.
Starting from Spirit City, it took Xu Huxiao's group a total of one month to get here.
Lost Grand Canyon does not belong to the scope of Maitexier Duchy. It, together with Death Desert further to the east, belongs to Blue Moon Province directly managed by the Heaven Dou Empire. It is a vast area with sparsely populated areas and few towns.
Xu Huxiao The place where they settled is called Yellow Sand City, a low town. According to Map, Lost Grand Canyon is about forty miles northwest of this small town. It is not too far away. There are traces of Golden Rock Giant Elephant Herd that feed on gold and iron minerals.
Therefore, everyone decided to spend a day at this Yellow Sand City for repairs, replenish water and dry food, and at the same time obtain the exact location of Golden Rock Giant Elephant from the Spirit Hall Sub-Hall here.
After placing their luggage in the hotel, everyone took action in teams of two, two, three and three according to the division of labor determined by the teacher.
Xu Huxiao, Hu Liena, Ghost Child and Gale went to the Spirit Hall Sub-Hall to collect the location information of Soul Beast, and faced Gale and Yellow Sand City who were in the teaching position of Red-clad Bishop. The black-clothed bishop of the Spirit Hall Sub-Hall was very cooperative. Not only did he provide information about Soul Beast Golden Rock Giant Elephant's activities, but he also said that the warriors of the sub-dian could be sent to search for Soul Beast.
However, although the search was for Soul Beast, it was also an experience for Xu Huxiao Team, so Gale naturally refused to join the samurai.
After all, finding traces of Soul Beast in the wild is also a method that a Soul Master must master.
In the evening, everyone completed their tasks and returned to the hotel. Borba and Gale called several people into a room and began to make arrangements for tomorrow.
"This is not far from Lost Grand Canyon, and the road is not connected through it. Starting from Yellow Sand City, about ten miles later, we will leave the only main road here and enter the desolate Gobi."
"So, tomorrow we abandon the carriage, all of us rush on foot, and head to Lost Grand Canyon with light equipment."
Borba Before he finished speaking, Ao Li'ao raised his hand, "Teacher, I saw someone renting camels in the city. Can we go out on camels?"
Ao Li'ao I went shopping for half a day today. I am very interested in the different customs and customs here and want to try everything.
"No, Little Ao, remember we are not here for tourism, but to hunt the third Soul Ring for Huxiao. Riding a camel is difficult to adapt to the complex terrain, and it will be useless for us to find Soul Beast and hunt Soul Hunting beasts," Gale said.
"Oh, okay." Ao Li'ao put down his hand with some regret.
Seeing that Gale had finished explaining, Borba was about to continue speaking, when another white and delicate hand was raised again, from Yun Ji.
Yun Ji hurriedly said, "Wait a minute, teacher, if you can't ride a camel, what about riding an ostrich? The Flame Ostrich here is suitable for our short-distance run, and I understand that Flame Ostrich can walk like flying even in the mountains. How about we ride an ostrich?"
Yun Ji has bright eyes and Jingjing, like Ao Li'ao, is very willing to try all kinds of new things.
Orleans's eyes lit up, "I think riding an ostrich is fine. Flame Ostrich not only has excellent running ability, but also has delicious and firm meat. We can also have grilled ostrich meat at our destination, killing two birds with one stone."
Gale is a little speechless. This team has so little experience in survival in the wild, almost zero. It seems that this field training is the right one.
Borba also frowned. It was really not a good job to lead these little brats. He did not object immediately, but asked a key question:
"Can you ride an ostrich?"
This time, Yun Ji and Orleans were confused. They obviously didn't know it, because they had never seen Flame Ostrich before. That is, when they were shopping today, they saw it very interesting, so they wanted to try it.
Although he had never ridden one before, Orleans still didn't want to give up and said, "We don't know how to ride it, but we can learn it. When the boss recommended it to me today, he said that it is quick to get started, and even novices can learn it right away."
In fact, as the captain, Orleans should consider the overall situation of the team's training and obey the teacher's arrangements. He should not be so willful with his teammates.
But for some reason, when Xu Huxiao is around, Orleans can't help but feel relaxed and at ease. What she thinks in her heart is that her good brother is there for everything anyway. If there is really something necessary, Xu Huxiao will naturally tell her, and then she will just be obedient.
This technique was learned by Orleans from the book "The Sweet Wife Doesn't Act Like a Baby, the Overbearing Douluo Falls in Love with Me!" recommended by her best friend Xu Yanran. The book mentioned that such a contrast can give men a wonderful experience of successful conquest, and they can also be more relaxed and willful, which is simply killing two birds with one stone.
Orleans is looking good here, but Borba is a little impatient. When this team started from Spirit City, it had all kinds of problems. It was simply incomparable with the Golden Seven Sons he led before who was completely obedient.
He no longer wanted to discuss such childish and low-level issues as whether to ride a camel or an ostrich. He was ready to directly use the teacher's authority to issue orders and make next arrangements.
But just when Borba was about to speak sharply, Gale held him down and motioned for him to settle things.
Seeing this, Borba had no choice but to endure it. They were both leading teachers. Originally, there was no distinction between him and Gale, and both of them were originally Soul Sage ordinary Red-clad Bishop. But now The teaching rank of Gale is one level higher than him, and he was promoted to Crowned Red-clad Bishop. The difference from the ordinary Red-clad Bishop is that when dressed formally, Gale has a certain amount of triangular silver crowns than Borba.
But it's not easy to go one level higher.
You know, above Crowned Red-robed Cardinal are the ordinary Platinum Bishop of the palace master level, which is the real upper class, because the crowned Platinum Bishop above the ordinary Platinum Bishop can be on an equal footing with the Upper Three Sects sect master and the imperial prince.
Therefore, Gale, who has a higher teaching rank, naturally has more say.
So, why did Gale upgrade faster than Borba, who is the main teacher of the elite student Spirit Hall?
The answer still lies with Xu Huxiao!
