The Two Exceptional Talents of the Spirit Pagoda Suffered a Crushing Defeat

After instructing Gu Yuena, Huo Yuhao turned to look at Su Tong and Ye Guyi. He noticed Su Tong's slightly evasive gaze and guessed that the girl was probably thinking about something bad again. However, since he had no evidence, he didn't pursue the matter. He simply said, "Su Tong, Guyi, I've arranged your accommodations. What are your plans for the future?"

Ye Guyi stood up, smiled slightly, and a rare hint of curiosity appeared in her usually aloof eyes. "I want to see all the novelties of this era, and also to restore my strength."

She paused, then counted on her fingers, "The Evil Martial Soul owners of the Execution Department and the Dark Department, all sorts of novel Soul Tool —and the descendants of some deceased relatives. There are quite a few things that interest me in this era."

Su Tong tapped her chin and squinted her eyes.

"My situation is similar to that of Guyi, but before that, I want to find someone—Teacher, you should know where she is, right?"

Huo Yuhao looked at Su Tong's narrowed eyes and understood.

"Gu Ruiqiu is hiding in the Cultivation Room on the second floor."

He said expressionlessly, "I went there after the previous meeting ended and haven't come out yet."

Su Tong's eyes lit up, and she couldn't suppress the malicious smile on her lips, "Hiding in the Cultivation Room? That's so boring! I'll go keep her company right now—catching up!"

She practically spat out the last few words through gritted teeth.

Huo Yuhao watched Su Tong get up and walk to the conference room door, then said calmly, "Be careful, don't provoke her. She's Four-Word Battle Armor Master, Super Douluo; you're no match for her now."

Su Tong:

She froze on the spot halfway there.

After a while, she turned back to Ye Guyi as if nothing had happened and smiled, "Guyi, come with me. I'll take you to get justice."

Ye Guyi was completely bewildered and tilted her head in confusion.

Seeking justice? What does that mean?

Su Tong paused, realizing that Ye Guyi was unaware of those Unofficial History. She leaned close to Ye Guyi's ear, lowered her voice, and quickly whispered a few words.

Back then, Gu Ruiqiu wrote a story about you and your teacher—

Su Tong spoke with great emotion, attributing all the "good deeds" she and Gu Ruiqiu had done together to Gu Ruiqiu, making her the scapegoat.

Ye Guyi's expression shifted from confusion to shock, then from shock to embarrassment and anger, finally settling on a blush that resembled gritted teeth.

"How could she be so shameless!"

Ye Guyi glanced at Huo Yuhao quickly, her face burning, then she quickly looked away, her voice trembling slightly, a rare occurrence for her.

Su Tong nodded hastily, her face filled with righteous indignation. "Exactly! You have no idea how outrageous Guyi's writing is! What 'Night'—"

She was about to give some examples when Ye Guyi pressed her hand to her mouth, gritting her teeth and saying, "Stop talking about that! Let's go, let's settle the score with her!"

If Su Tong were to say these things aloud, she would be humiliated in front of Huo Yuhao.

Su Tong rolled her eyes as she was covered, and quickly nodded to indicate that she would not say anything more.

Ye Guyi finally breathed a sigh of relief and strode towards the door.

Su Tong quickly followed, her steps as light as a fox ready to watch a show.

If it were just her alone, Gu Ruiqiu might have fought back. After all, she had done it too, and it was a case of the pot calling the kettle black. If she had hit her too hard, Gu Ruiqiu would have argued her case and even resorted to violence. But right now, she was no match for her opponent.

But things are different now. With Guyi, the victim who was kept in the dark about the whole story, present, Gu Ruiqiu was too nervous to fight back. She could only stand there and take the scolding.

As for her, she herself is also one of the culprits; doing so is suspected of bringing trouble upon herself.

For now, at least she can hide behind Ye Guyi and be the "good informer." As for what happens in the future, we'll deal with that later.

Anyway, the truth will eventually come out, so let's get Gu Ruiqiu stabbed first!

After the two left, Huo Yuhao and the other two exchanged a glance and smiled helplessly.

The Spirit Pagoda is destined to be turbulent today.

On the second floor, trapped inside the Cultivation Room Cultivation Room, Gu Ruiqiu looked at the two dark figures before her and let out a desperate "wailing".

"Don't come any closer!"

Ye Guyi ignored her words, pressed down on her shoulders, and Su Tong ruthlessly raised her hand, slapping her several times with sharp sounds. Gu Ruiqiu cried out in pain, "Su Tong, you traitor! You clearly have one too!"

She was met with even more relentless slaps, one after another, without any mercy.

Meanwhile, at the home of the Soul Suppressing Douluo, Zhao Yao was cornered in the study by her own father. The sound of the Ruler used as a punishment accompanied by her cries of pain lingered for a long time.

"Dad! Stop hitting me! At least tell me why you're hitting me!"

"No reason is needed. Based on your usual behavior, do I need to pick a time to beat you up?"

"I will not yield to you like this—ah, her stubbornness shattered with the next strike of the Ruler."

Today, two Exceptional Talents from the Spirit Pagoda were captured and brutally suppressed!

But this matter has nothing to do with Huo Yuhao.

He even welcomed this.

After leaving the conference room, he glanced at the second floor, smiled, and then looked away. He bid farewell to Gu Yuena and Snow Empress, and walked towards the Tower Master's office that had just been prepared for him.

Returning to the position of Tower Master wouldn't be a good idea; it's better to deal with a few backlogged issues first.

However, when he pushed open the door and went inside, he turned around and saw Gu Yuena following him.

Huo Yuhao was slightly taken aback, somewhat puzzled. "Na'er, is there anything else?"

"I've perfected the Light and Dark Divine Thunder during this time and would like to teach it to you. I'd also like to ask you about the Seven Colors Divine Lightning. As for those other matters—"

Gu Yuena closed the door, and with a thought, Divine Consciousness Clone that looked exactly like her appeared beside her. "We can just leave it to the Divine Consciousness Clone to handle. Our main bodies should focus on cultivation."

Huo Yuhao:

"-- So, in order to cultivate, they've started to squeeze every last drop of their Divine Consciousness out of themselves?"

I have a feeling that Na'er has become the "Queen of Curls" too.

Huo Yuhao shook his head and chuckled, "I'm just here to handle some recent matters, it won't take much time—but since you've put it that way, I'll gladly accept your offer."

He stood up, watching as Gu Yuena's Divine Consciousness took over the tasks. He came to Gu Yuena's side, but showed no intention of going to the cultivation room; he simply created a separate space for himself.

With their abilities, this was a piece of cake, and there was no need to worry about affecting the items in the office. The two stepped into that isolated area, sat facing each other, and began to practice Thunder Method.

Gu Yuena watched as Huo Yuhao quickly mastered the Light and Dark Divine Thunder, becoming increasingly proficient, and she too became immersed in practicing the Seven Colors Divine Lightning.

Once Huo Yuhao had fully mastered the Light and Dark Divine Thunder, Gu Yuena opened her eyes at the opportune moment, remained silent for a moment, and asked, "Yuhao, I understand your concerns about not letting me go to Dragon Valley. Your concern that I shouldn't devour the Heart of the Dragon God and the Golden Dragon King God Core too early is because you're worried I'll activate the Dragon God's Divine Position. I understand that too."

"But you're worried I'll activate the Dragon God's Divine Position, yet I don't know the specific risks involved. Can you tell me? You should know the secrets, right?"

He repeatedly emphasized this matter, clearly harboring deep concerns. If he didn't know the inside story, he wouldn't have had that expression.

Huo Yuhao put away the Light and Dark Divine Thunder, raising an eyebrow slightly. "You want to know what you're planning to do with all this?"

"If it's a problem that can be overcome in advance, I can start preparing now." Gu Yuena said seriously, "If I can really inherit the Dragon God's Divine Position, your future will be much easier. Besides, I can't really rely on you to cover everything, can I? After all, this is a problem I need to face."

She was one of the few who could keep up with Yuhao, and she wanted to be someone he could rely on.

Huo Yuhao looked into her bright, purple eyes, and his gaze softened. He didn't speak, but simply reached out and gently embraced Gu Yuena's waist, lifted her chin with his other hand, and lowered his head to kiss her.

Gu Yuena was slightly taken aback, then closed her eyes and gently responded to the kiss.

A soft, warm touch, with a subtle sweetness, came between their lips, and both of them were involuntarily immersed in it.

After a long while, the two separated, their breaths mingling.

Huo Yuhao looked at Gu Yuena in his arms and smiled, "You look so dignified and charming today."

Gu Yuena blushed slightly and gave him a sidelong glance. "Don't change the subject."

Despite saying that, she snuggled closer to Huo Yuhao, her long silver hair brushing against his chin like a cat that had finally found its nest.

Though their words were sharp, their bodies betrayed them – this leaning together melted away the previous flirtation into their shared warmth.

"I wasn't trying to change the subject; I was just telling the truth."

Huo Yuhao smiled indulgently, stroking Gu Yuena's soft hair, and said, "As for the dangers one will face in inheriting the Dragon God's Divine Position —I do know some, but those are beyond our current capabilities, and telling you would only cause unnecessary trouble. But since you want to know—I'll briefly explain it to you."

Seeing the determination in Gu Yuena's eyes, Huo Yuhao still gave a general overview of the dangers that one would face in the Divine Trial.

There are three main problems encountered when inheriting the Divine Position the Dragon God.

Firstly, the Dragon God Trial involves stepping into the shoes of the Dragon God of yesteryear to save the Dragon Divine Realm Dragon God Realm and elevate it to God Star. The price for this immersive, first-person experience of the God Star Ceremony is that the inheritor will feel the pain of the old Dragon God who lost his wife and children and slaughtered the Dragon Clan.

However, this is actually not so bad, since the successor is ultimately an outsider and cannot fully immerse themselves in the situation.

The problem is that the successor has just begun the assessment and does not yet possess the strength of the Dragon God Supreme God King.

A God King who is not the Supreme God King has to bear part of the pressure that the Dragon God once endured, bearing the pressure of the Xianling Qi of the entire Dragon God Realm and the Power of Faith of the star fields under his jurisdiction—to become God Star. His body and Divine Consciousness are subjected to endless pressure, it would be strange if he didn't go crazy.

Secondly, to become Dragon God, one needs to absorb a large amount of energy to complete the breakthrough.

Becoming God King is different from becoming Dragon God. The various energies left behind by the Dragon God may be enough to create one or even several God King, but if one inherits the Dragon God's Divine Position, that energy is not enough.

After all, the Dragon God's Divine Position corresponds to the Supreme God King, which is a higher level of existence than ordinary God King. The Dragon God himself has already perished, and the various energies he left behind certainly cannot reach his peak state.

In the original story, when Lan Xuanyu first inherited the Dragon God's Divine Position, he successively devoured the Dragon God Dragon Marrow, the Heart of the Dragon God, and the Dragon Realm (Dragon Valley).

All the power left behind by the Dragon God, except for the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King.

But this was still not enough for him to break through to the Supreme God King.

Since the energy left by the Dragon God is insufficient to elevate the successor to the level of Supreme God King, what should the successor do? Naturally, they should seek external sources to replenish themselves.

So, in order to replenish himself, Lan Xuanyu, who was undergoing the assessment and was in a semi-mad state, swallowed the Crimson Mother, who had become God King. Although it was also to save Bai Xiuxiu and others, at least half of the reason Lan Xuanyu sought out the Crimson Mother was to devour her energy.

Well, speaking of this matter, Long Tianyang in the original work might have to thank the Crimson Mother —if it weren't for the Crimson Mother, the Demigod Realm of the Dragon-Horse Twin Stars would probably have suffered a terrible fate.

After all, Lan Xuanyu initially underwent his assessment in Dragon Valley on Heavenly Dragon Star. Without the Crimson Mother, in order to fill the energy gap needed to become Dragon God, the impulsive Lan Xuanyu might have swallowed the Demigod Realm of the Dragon-Horse Twin Stars to stabilize his state.

Even with the Crimson Mother, a God King level powerhouse, replenishing her strength, it still wasn't enough.

In his semi-mad state, Lan Xuanyu immediately set his sights on Bai Xiuxiu, who had been resurrected by Long Tianyang Dragon Clan, as well as many other super-gods and Half-step God King level powerhouses from the Tianlong Clan. The Dragon-Horse Twin Stars were also back on his menu.

Later, the Great God Circle provided Xianling Qi, and the bloodlines of the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King were extracted and given to Lan Xuanyu. After the bloodlines were replenished, Lan Xuanyu's condition was stabilized.

Thirdly, the attitude towards the Cosmic Laws.

In the original Douluo 4, the failure of the Dragon God Realm to achieve the God Star and the massacre of the Dragon Clan and Beast Race races were partly attributed to the Cosmic Laws. It was said that the Cosmic Laws influenced the Time Dragon King and the others, causing them to make wrong decisions. This seems to make the Cosmic Laws a scapegoat.

However, the Cosmic Laws described in the original work do indeed resemble the will of Heaven.

According to the Crimson Mother herself, after she became God King, Lan Xuanyu became the Dragon God to stop her. This seems to be related to the Cosmic Laws, because the universe does not allow an existence like the Crimson Mother to become God King, so it simply created another God King to kill her.

Of course, according to Tang San, the punishment imposed on the Crimson Mother by the Cosmic Laws was actually imposed by the God King of the Great God Circle. However, the problem they ultimately solved was the problem of Lan Xuanyu becoming the Dragon God.

Regardless of the interpretation, both reflect the dynamic balance of the Cosmic Laws regarding "threats," which can precisely bring those capable of eliminating threats to the object that needs to be eliminated.

With the Crimson Mother and Lan Xuanyu becoming God King and potentially turning into a menace, the Great God Circle just happened to make a comeback.

But what if it were them—if the Cosmic Laws deem Gu Yuena a scourge even as Dragon God, what if they brought in the Great God Circle or other God King beforehand to cover it up?

In the original work, the Cosmic Laws did not treat the Dragon God very well. When Lan Xuanyu became the Dragon God, he was rejected by the Cosmic Laws, but the rejection was not as strong as that experienced by the Crimson Mother.

Therefore, we must also consider the attitude towards the Cosmic Laws.

Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's brief description, Gu Yuena immediately abandoned the idea of solving these problems.

None of the three things are easy to solve.

The Dragon God —that's indeed difficult to achieve.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, as many high-ranking members of the Spirit Pagoda gathered their Titled Douluo warriors, news of the current Tower Master stepping down and Huo Yuhao becoming the Tower Master spread within the Spirit Pagoda, causing ripples in the air.

Many people were surprised and astonished by the change of Tower Master.

Those who had overheard rumors were even more puzzled, confused, and resentful about Huo Yuhao's Titled Douluo.

Why did this new Tower Master choose the name "Ling Bing)?

This Titled Douluo holds extraordinary significance for the Spirit Pagoda!
