The Youngest Candidate Spirit Envoy in History
Qian Gu Dong Feng watched Huo Yuhao leave, his eyes flickering slightly.
Has Leng Yaozhu decided to stand behind Huo Yuhao?
With the addition of the Snow Empress, quite a few factions are already on his side, no wonder...
I thought you would object without having made enough contributions.
A figure emerged from the shadows, speaking calmly.
"It's just an opportunity for assessment. If the two Deputy Pagoda Master agree, it would be too unreasonable for me to object."
Qian Gu Dong Feng looked at the figure, his tone devoid of emotion, "Moreover, this junior is quite astute; we shouldn't underestimate him because of his young age."
The strong rule... There's no doubt that Huo Yuhao can become a strong person in the future. The other party is very self-aware and understands his own advantages. Wasting time on power struggles now is a waste of his potential.
"Spirit Transmission" is ultimately just a title, while the Candidate Spirit Envoy has real power and is no longer on the same level as the core disciples. With this identity, those juniors will not be able to bother Huo Yuhao... well, except for the juniors of the Ji Clan.
"But this would ruin your idea of gradually winning him over. He clearly won't stay at the Spirit Pagoda Headquarters for long."
Qian Gu Dong Feng said calmly, "It will be at least twenty more years before he becomes Limit Douluo. Until then, I will be the Tower Master. There is enough time; why should we rely on others?"
"That's not bad. But aren't you worried they'll stop us? Di Tian might not support this plan; the forces represented by the Extreme North are quite powerful now."
"We're also after the Spirit Pagoda; as long as it's fast enough, that's fine."
"Brother Zhangting."
The door to the Cultivation Room slid open silently, and Qian Gu Juechen appeared in the doorway. He deliberately walked lightly, but still startled the man inside who was concentrating on his cultivation.
Qiangu Zhangting sat cross-legged like a drawn sword, holding his Coiling Dragon Staff in his hand. After Qian Gu Juechen arrived, he slowly opened his eyes, a pale golden halo flowing in his pupils.
The residual Soul Power fluctuations in the Cultivation Room had not completely subsided, and tiny golden specks of light floated in the air.
"Huo Yuhao has arrived."
Qian Gu Juechen said in a low voice, his gaze unconsciously falling on the lingering Soul Power ripples in front of Qiangu Zhangting.
Big Brother has made progress again. He truly deserves to be the leader of this generation of the Qian Gu Clan and a candidate for Spirit Envoy.
However, he still couldn't understand why the other person was holding the Coiling Dragon Staff while cultivating... It's somewhat similar to Ji Wufeng.
Qiangu Zhangting's slender fingers tapped lightly on his knee, producing a rhythmic sound. "You've fought him, haven't you? How strong is he?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Gu Juechen's Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.
He took out an exquisite Soul Tool from his pocket and tapped its surface three times with his finger. A beam of blue light shot out and condensed into a clear image in the air—the scene of their battle with Huo Yuhao.
As light and shadow intertwined, Qiangu Zhangting's brows gradually furrowed. His amber pupils contracted slightly in sync with Huo Yuhao's movements in the scene, and his knuckles involuntarily straightened.
When the images finally faded away, the Cultivation Room fell into silence, with only the aftershocks of Soul Power creating a faint hum on the walls.
After a long silence, Qiangu Zhangting finally let out a slow breath. The golden light in his eyes gradually faded, returning to its unfathomable darkness. "Stronger than I imagined. But I still don't think he deserves that assessment. Let's wait until he passes the Candidate Spirit Envoy assessment."
As soon as he finished speaking, he closed his eyes again, like a statue in deep meditation. The Soul Power in the Cultivation Room began to circulate again, forming a faint halo around him.
But his calm expression lasted only a moment.
The door to the Cultivation Room slid open silently once more, and a tall, slender figure stepped into the room. The newcomer moved with light steps, yet carried an undeniable presence; even the air seemed to freeze slightly at his arrival.
"Qiangu Zhangting, come and fight!"
Ji Wufeng pointed his sword directly at the Qiangu Zhangting, his eyes gleaming.
He urgently needs someone to verify his understanding and gains. Someone too weak won't do. Those who were defeated by Huo Yuhao are not in his consideration. Only the Candidate Spirit Envoy is suitable.
Qiangu Zhangting: "..."
He glanced at Qian Gu Juechen, and a string of curses welled up in his mind.
So you're the one who brought him here?
He was certain that Ji Wufeng had seen Qian Gu Juechen walk in before following him!
Qiangu Zhangting calmed himself and said coldly, "Your cultivation is far inferior to mine, and we've fought many times over the years, you..."
"Boom!"
Before he could finish speaking, the door to the Cultivation Room was kicked open again, and a group of Law Enforcement Team members stumbled in, their faces showing expressions that said, "We tried to stop them, but we couldn't."
"Lord Zhangting!" The lead Law Enforcement Team wiped his sweat and said awkwardly, "Ji Wufeng committed an act within the Law Enforcement Team's jurisdiction. According to the rules, he should be placed in solitary confinement, but he said..."
"What did you say?" Qiangu Zhangting throbbed.
He said he needed to process his insights through combat, and after the fight, he would come with us!
Qiangu Zhangting: "..."
What kind of reason is that? You just believe it?
Just drag it away!
But considering that Ji Wufeng was a member of the Ji Clan, Qiangu Zhangting understood somewhat.
Those in the Ji Clan who practice swordsmanship are indeed people of their word.
Ji Wufeng nodded in agreement, "That's right, I'll go to solitary confinement after the beating, and I won't resist."
Qiangu Zhangting's forehead veins bulged, and finally, unable to bear it any longer, he stood up with a cold face.
"Walk."
Ji Wufeng followed, glanced at the Coiling Dragon Staff in his hand, and bluntly said, "Your Staff Soul is weak; there's been no improvement."
He could tell at a glance that Qiangu Zhangting was practicing his Staff Soul.
Well, when the three realms of intention, soul, and spirit are applied to a staff, they naturally become Staff Intent, Staff Soul, and Staff Spirit.
In response, some people have secretly commented that the last realm would sound better if it were reversed.
"Hmph," Qiangu Zhangting said coldly, "Do you think that just because you entered this realm first, you are necessarily stronger than me?"
"You learned this realm during your battle with me, using the same method as me, so I can naturally tell."
"Shut up, I'll go further than you!"
As Qian Gu Juechen listened to the conversation between the two people in front of him, his expression gradually became blank.
Wait a minute, did Brother Zhangting learn his Staff Soul from Ji Wufeng?
The Ji Clan's understanding of swordsmanship is quite different from most people's. If he continues down this path... will he spend his entire life with the Coiling Dragon Staff?
Qian Gu Juechen's face twitched as he watched Qiangu Zhangting carrying the Coiling Dragon Staff and Ji Wufeng Ji Wufeng the longsword.
Huo Yuhao left the Tower Master's room and glanced back at the door.
"The Source Research requires an enormous amount of Rare Metal, which must be related to the higher-ups. Since it has nothing to do with you, Di Tian, Leng Yaozhu, it can only be him. What do you think his purpose is?"
"I don't know. He did want to act in a high-profile manner for a period of time in his early years, but he eventually gave up."
The Snow Empress Divine Consciousness in her Spiritual Sea, "Restarting the Source Research should be beneficial to the Spirit Pagoda in the long run, right?"
"That's true in the long run; otherwise, I would have already told you to stop."
Huo Yuhao pondered, "Leave the Source Research to me from now on; you don't know much about this. The actions of the Qian Gu Clan will need you to send people to keep an eye on them."
The impression left by the Qian Gu Clan's bombing of Shrek Academy in conjunction with the Holy Spirit Cult in the original novel is too deep, making it somewhat difficult for him to trust them directly.
But he was judging the matter, not the person. He hadn't seen the full picture of the Qian Gu Clan yet, so he couldn't draw conclusions based on his impressions.
While pondering, Huo Yuhao, guided by the staff, arrived in a world filled with metal. The metal door opened, and he strode in, where he would Spirit Pagoda.
Also tonight, news of the birth of the youngest Candidate Spirit Envoy in history began to circulate throughout the Spirit Pagoda Headquarters.
