Prelude to the Final Battle

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect truly lives up to its reputation as the number one Auxiliary System Martial Soul on the continent. The enhancement it provides to Battle Soul Master is simply too exaggerated. Especially now that Ning Rongrong's Soul Power is about to break through to the Soul Douluo level, breaking the bottleneck that Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School disciples can only cultivate to the Soul Saint level in their lifetime, and once she reaches the Titled Douluo level, Yu Tianshuang can't even imagine what kind of exaggerated situation it will be when she assists him.

"Hey... Brother Tianshuang, isn't that Huo Wu?"

After leaving the Silves Kingdom, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's "caravan" was not ambushed or attacked again, and arrived safely at the gates of Spirit City. When Ning Rongrong saw this city she had been away from for so long, she couldn't help but recall the past. At this moment, she saw a large number of Soul Master pouring into Spirit City like a dragon, and the leader of them, a woman in red, was pointing and gesturing with her hands on her hips, as if directing the order. Although they hadn't seen each other for so many years, Ning Rongrong still recognized Huo Wu at a glance because of Huo Wu distinctive attire and appearance.

They're from the New Seven Great Sects... What's going on? Shouldn't Huo Wu be with Sister Na and the others in the Second Province of the Star Luo Empire? And who are these people? Could it be...?

"It's her... You guys line up first... I'll go see what's going on." Yu Tianshuang looked at the long queue in front of her, gave Ning Rongrong some instructions, and then transformed into a wisp of ice mist, instantly arriving in front of Huo Wu.

"Don't push, line up in order, who's there?"

In fact, the disciples of the Seven Great Sects were speechless. They had clearly lined up very well, but this hot-tempered young lady still felt that they hadn't lined up properly. However, they only dared to complain in their hearts. They had suffered quite a few losses at the hands of this young lady while stationed in the provinces of the Star Luo Empire recently, so they could only keep quiet and let her be happy.

After swatting away a Huo Wu thrown by Huo Wu, he subtly hid his hand, which had turned noticeably red, behind his back. His ice-attribute Soul Power surged, quickly cooling it down. Before he could even speak, Huo Wu, who had recognized him, hugged him with a look of delight.

Huo Wu buried her head in Yu Tianshuang's chest and began to mutter about her grievances and the bits and pieces of her recent experiences, "You pervert, you were gone for so long, leaving me stuck in that crappy city every day with nothing to do..."

"My dear young lady, you have nothing better to do than run around fighting with the Holy Spirit Cult every day... The area outside the city has been burned black by you..." When the people from the New Seven Great Sects heard Huo Wu say this, they immediately looked at each other, black lines appearing on their foreheads as they mentally complained.

Yu Tianshuang patted Huo Wu Wu's fair back, comforting her for a while before asking, "Weren't you and Sister Na stationed in the second province of the Star Luo Empire? Why did you suddenly come back? What about Sister Na?"

"Hmph... I always knew it was Sister Na Sister Na, never mind, it's like this..." Huo Wu slapped Yu Tianshuang's chest angrily, then pouted and complained before continuing:

"It's like this, Pope Sister, no, I mean Empress Sister, she ordered us to abandon our garrison in the First Province of the Star Luo Empire and concentrate all our forces in the Second Province, which Sister Na will be responsible for guarding. We and the people from the Seven Great Sects have withdrawn. Don't worry, besides Sister Na, there's also Sister Ling Yuan, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and five thousand elite troops from the Spirit Hall have also been left behind."

Yu Tianshuang remained silent for a while before realizing that Bibi Dong had noticed the alliance between the two empires and was preparing to gather forces for a decisive battle. That's why she abandoned a province, leaving Sister Na and the others behind, while recalling Huo Wu and the people from the Seven Great Sects.

"Brother Tianshuang... this must be Huo Wu, it's been a long time, do you still remember me?" While the two were chatting, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's procession reached the city gate. Ning Rongrong walked with elegant steps, revealing a warm and welcoming smile, and greeted Huo Wu.

"It's you... that little princess from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, what are you doing here... Oh, I see, you're here to see this lecher too, how annoying..."

When Huo Wu saw Ning Rongrong, who had a fair and lovely face and a smile, she was immediately filled with a sense of crisis. Ignoring Ning Rongrong's smile, she curled her lips and responded in a somewhat unfriendly tone.

Despite Huo Wu's expression, Ning Rongrong maintained her smile and praised her, "It's me... Huo Wu, you have such a good memory. Rongrong really admires you. I heard you became an elder of the Spirit Hall a long time ago. Your strength and talent are probably even better than Sister Bing'er's..."

The saying goes, "You can't hit a smiling face. "Huo Wu Hearing Ning Rongrong praise her so highly, especially saying that Shui Bing'er wasn't as good as her, Huo Wu felt like she was floating on air. She suddenly found Ning Rongrong very pleasing to the eye, but she still felt a little guilty. After glancing around, her face slightly flushed, she said:

"You, you can still talk. That's right, I'm the Huo Wu you mentioned, even more powerful than Shui Bing'er. You're Ning Rongrong, right..."

Yu Tianshuang looked at Ning Rongrong with some surprise. She hadn't seen her for several years, and even Ning Rongrong had changed so much. She had dealt with Huo Wu with just a few words... But it was no wonder. She had been groomed as the next sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School for a long time. In addition to her own strength, Uncle Ning must have been deliberately teaching her these ways of dealing with people.

To be honest, since the Soul Master Tournament ended, everyone seems to have changed quite noticeably. Senior Sister Bing'er has become more domineering and decisive, and as for myself... well, it seems that, in their words, I've become brainless... And it seems that the only person who hasn't changed at all and is still the same as before is Huo Wu...

"That's right, that's right, you have a good eye! But I'm not just Soul Douluo, I'm already level 89, and I'll soon become Titled Douluo, hehe!"

Yu Tianshuang silently accompanied them as they walked in line. After pondering for a moment, she heard Ning Rongrong praise Huo Wu's cultivation level. Huo Wu's next words shocked both of them: level 89... Did this silly girl eat some kind of Immortal Herb? Leaving aside Tang San, who was propelled to the Titled Douluo by various external factors, even he, though limited by the Big Dipper Seven Origins Purple Seal within him, had to compress his Soul Power, slowing his cultivation speed. But he had received so many benefits in the Ice and Snow Secret Realm, yet his Soul Power was only level 87. This Huo Wu hadn't received any secret realm rewards or God Trial; how could she cultivate so quickly...?

No wonder Yu Tianshuang felt a faint warmth in her right hand, even after it was encased in frost; besides Huo Wu Soul Power, Huo Wu's strength was probably ridiculously powerful...

"Level 89... Is this silly girl the reincarnation of the Fire God? I just felt that I couldn't see through her aura, so I casually said that Miss Huo Wu was already Soul Douluo, but I didn't expect that she was not only Soul Douluo, but also Soul Douluo who was about to break through to the Titled Douluo. This is too exaggerated... She has been working very hard these past few years, and because she once consumed immortal Immortal Herb, her cultivation speed has been ridiculously fast. Now she has only just reached level 80 and has not yet obtained Soul Ring."

Although Ning Rongrong thought this in her heart, she remained outwardly calm and praised her again as if it were the most natural thing in the world, "I told you, Miss Huo Wu, you look very powerful. It's probably only a short time before you break through to the Titled Douluo. Among our younger generation, let alone Sister Bing'er, even Brother Tianshuang is probably no match for you..."

"Well, not anymore... not as powerful as before. That lecherous guy is still... still very strong, and... and I can't bear to hit him..."

In fact, Huo Wu was quite self-aware. She could tell that Ning Rongrong was deliberately praising her, but she couldn't help but be happy when she heard Ning Rongrong say that she was better than Shui Bing'er. However, she blushed a little when Yu Tianshuang was mentioned. But when she thought about how this guy hadn't shown any interest since that day in the Star Dou Great Forest, she became a little annoyed.

Faced with Huo Wu's somewhat resentful gaze, Yu Tianshuang was clearly unable to resist. She made up an excuse and transformed into a wisp of icy mist, leaving. "Alright, you two can chat slowly. I've already arranged accommodations for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School disciples; they'll stay with the disciples who were moved previously. I'm going to find Bibi Dong now..."

"Hmph, that guy..." Huo Wu stomped her foot in frustration as she watched him leave, her expression somewhat gloomy. Ning Rongrong sympathized with her and patted her shoulder, genuinely comforting her this time, as well as comforting herself.

"Jialing Pass? It is indeed a very suitable place for a decisive battle. The terrain is treacherous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it controls the vital pass between the two great empires. However, considering the current combined strength of the two great empires, our decision to defend is indeed a very wise one..."

After the people from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Seven Great Sects were settled, Bibi Dong summoned them all to the main hall of the Spirit Hall Empire and began to explain her plan. After arriving in Spirit City, Ning Fengzhi quickly put himself into the role. After listening to Bibi Dong's words, he thought for a while and quickly expressed his agreement.

Bibi Dong gave Ning Fengzhi a deep look, thinking to herself, "As expected of the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Yu Tianshuang School, he guessed my purpose so quickly. Impressive. I also have to thank that brat Yu Tianshuang, otherwise making an enemy of this person would really be a troublesome matter."

"Sect Master Ning is right. Moreover, with the aid of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, as long as we can hold Jialing Pass, we can slowly devour the two great empires."

Yu Tianshuang was really annoyed. He didn't know Bibi Dong had summoned him. All that talking and discussing so many strategies was exhausting. He'd rather go to the Star Luo Empire and talk to Sister Na and Lengleng and Wen Xin, then tell her his decision. Sigh...

"Yu Tianshuang, what are your thoughts?" Just as Yu Tianshuang was lost in thought, Bibi Dong suddenly asked him. Ning Fengzhi was also very eager to know what other insights this young man, who had once schemed against Clear Sky Douluo, had.

Yu Tianshuang was just thinking about what excuse she could use to go to the Star Luo Empire to find Hu Liena and Ye Lingling when she heard Bibi Dong's voice. She quickly pretended to be deep in thought and slowly said, "Hmm... I think what you said is quite right, indeed, yes, I agree!"

Hearing his clearly perfunctory words, Bibi Dong rolled her eyes helplessly and gave him a reproachful look. This brat, just as that woman Shui Bing'er said, has completely given up on his brain these past few years. Wait, what kind of look is Ning Fengzhi...? Does he think that Yu Tianshuang's current state is caused by her Spirit Hall? That Bibi Dong has ruined Yu Tianshuang...?

"Hmm... you're right. Alright, you can go now. I still have something to discuss with Sect Master Ning..." Faced with Ning Fengzhi's strange gaze, Bibi Dong really didn't know how to explain, so she could only helplessly tell him to leave quickly and stop embarrassing himself here...

"By the way, Huo Wu is about to break through to the Titled Douluo Soul Ring, but I'm very busy right now. Plus, I suddenly remembered the Dark Phoenix in the Lost Track Grand Canyon that was about to Nirvana. You don't have anything to do these days, so why don't you go with Huo Wu..."

Bibi Dong's words greatly surprised Ning Fengzhi. He knew Huo Wu; she was the girl who had left a deep impression on him during the Soul Master Tournament. However, he couldn't believe that even Yu Tianshuang, whom he considered the most talented, was only an 87th-level Soul Douluo, yet Huo Wu was about to break through to the Titled Douluo?

Huo Wu, that silly girl, is truly blessed with good fortune. Calling her "Pope Sister" is really well-deserved; Bibi Dong actually cares about her so much. Well, Huo Wu is truly amazing to me. The scene of her standing in front of me without hesitation is still vivid in my mind. I'll just have to put aside my schedule of seeing Sister Na and Lengleng for now.

On Sea God Island, Bo Saixi seemed to sense something. Looking into the distance, she saw a sacred golden light appear, then gradually dim and dissipate. Lost in thought, she gazed at it for a long time before letting out a Youyou sigh, "Qian Daoliu... you've taken this step first... Is this the only ending for us, the agents of the gods? Tang Chen, where are you? I... I'm running out of time..."

Perhaps everyone has different thoughts at different times. Now she knows that her time is running out. According to Tang San's talent, it won't be too long to complete the Eighth Trial. And when that time comes, she will really leave this world. If she could choose again now, she would put aside her pride and tell Tang Chen her feelings clearly.

"Damn it, damn it all! This Yu Tianshuang is clearly only Soul Douluo, how come he's so powerful... If this woman hadn't appeared, he probably would have been crushed into ice shards by now..."

Seemingly sensing the gloomy look on Tang San's face and what he was thinking, Ye Yuxuan's Wumei voice rang out. "He is indeed the most talented and powerful person I have ever seen. You probably don't have much of a chance to defeat him, but..."

Before Ye Yuxuan could finish speaking, Tang San regained his composure, waved his hand, and refused, saying, "I appreciate Cult Master Ye Tang San's kindness, but I will not accept the Holy Spirit Cult's baptism. Defeating Yu Tianshuang may be beyond my capabilities as a human, but I believe that no matter how strong he is, he is still just a human. He can't possibly be a match for a god, can he?"

Upon hearing Tang San's words, Ye Yuxuan's pupils constricted slightly. She knew what Tang San meant. She glanced subtly at the Golden Trident he was still holding, smiled faintly, and said nothing more. This weapon made them extremely wary, almost like the woman who Angel life Soul Power that day; it was a threat to them that was practically their nemesis.
