Robbing the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan on Its Own Doorstep

Qian Daoliu patted him on the shoulder, trying to comfort him. "At least you have three five-star characters. You have six characters in total. Which of us has more than you?"

"None of you paid as much Soul Power as I did, either..."

Golden Crocodile's words left Qian Daoliu speechless.

Qian Daoliu glanced at Pufferfish, then pulled Golden Crocodile over to him.

"All right, one of you is a Soul Master with an affinity for Geo, and the other has an affinity for Hydro. Those happen to match the elements of your genuine five-star characters. Fight each other to level up."

Pufferfish and Golden Crocodile looked at each other. Pufferfish was the first to cup his fists. "In that case, Second Worship, please enlighten me."

That fast...? Golden Crocodile was still a little stunned. He hadn't even learned those elemental reactions yet.

Perhaps Pufferfish saw what Golden Crocodile was worried about, because he said, "Don't worry, Second Worship. We'll just use our genuine five-stars to fight. When our elemental skills and elemental bursts are on cooldown, we'll use normal attacks."

Golden Crocodile hesitantly nodded. He looked elsewhere and saw that quite a few people had already begun seeking out matching Soul Masters to fight and gain experience.

After all, many people would obtain their level-twenty ascension materials tomorrow. Once they had the materials, how could their levels remain stuck where they were?

Qian Renxue had also overheard that many commoners planned to leave for Heaven Dou City that afternoon, arriving at midnight at the earliest.

There were two level-twenty ascension materials in total. One was a plant found in the Star Dou Great Forest, which they would gather together tomorrow morning.

The other ascension material was mostly found at the Five Elements Academy and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. They planned to get it tonight.

Quite a few people had worried that their individual strength wouldn't be enough to stand against the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, but now that so many people had pulled cards at the god's place, that was no longer a problem.

Now everyone would go together. There was strength in numbers. Even the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would have to bow its head and obediently hand over the ascension materials!

Fights to level up were already in full swing throughout the area. Dazzling colors flashed everywhere, and elemental bursts and elemental skills followed one after another, leaving onlookers' eyes spinning.

Besides those fighting each other to level up, some were learning about elemental reactions, while others were pairing themselves up according to the principles behind those reactions...

Of course, even more commoners were still watching. It wasn't that they lacked Soul Power; they simply weren't in a hurry to pull cards and hadn't had their fill of the spectacle.

Shen Luo stood on the stage and turned to look at the worships and elders. "You can begin."

The worships immediately hurried over and lined up. The two elders, Ghost Leopard and Demon Bear, could only join the line behind them with glum faces.

Before long, afternoon arrived.

A third of the people at the card-pulling site disappeared in an instant.

Qian Renxue gazed in the direction the crowd had just gone and couldn't help murmuring, "It looks like the entire Heaven Dou Empire is in for a turbulent night."

Qian Daoliu nodded. "Yes. These characters are as strong as a bunch of thugs. Those Soul Masters won't be able to deal with them. A group of people who used to be at a disadvantage have now risen up. They'll definitely stir up quite a storm this time."

Qian Renxue said, "I hope Tang San doesn't get scared away tonight... Wait, where's Bibi Dong?"

Qian Renxue looked around and found that Bibi Dong was nowhere in sight.

Yue Guan said, "His Holiness the Pope needs ascension materials from Skywater Academy for her Sangonomiya Kokomi. She travels slowly, so she just left with the commoners."

Fair enough. Bibi Dong couldn't fly, after all.

Toward evening, Qian Renxue, Qian Daoliu, and the two elders, Yue Guan and She Long, also set off.

She Long's ascension materials were in the Far North. He was coming along this time solely to serve as Yue Guan's "ride." She Long had named it the "ice sculpture travel method."

The last rays of the setting sun shone on the red stage.

Shen Luo looked up and glanced around, only to be startled.

A great many people had suddenly vanished. Apart from the commoners watching and pulling cards, only a few Spirit Hall guards stationed nearby remained.

Even the worships who had just finished pulling cards had followed the others to the Heaven Dou Empire.

Speaking of which, no new rate-up characters had appeared afterward. All the rate-up characters the worships pulled had appeared before.

The ascension materials for the same rate-up characters were also the same, so their current destinations were all in the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Dou Great Forest.

A few had destinations in the Far North and Plant Academy in the Star Luo Empire, but since those didn't match the main group's destinations, the people heading to the Far North and the Star Luo Empire had decided to find time to form groups and go later.

Heaven Dou Empire, get ready for the surprise I've brought you.

Shen Luo chuckled to himself.

He was now sitting directly on the stage, having given the chair to Furina.

She had started dozing off in the afternoon and had nearly fallen onto Shen Luo several times. With no other choice, he had given her the chair.

Night fell.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was located in the southern part of the Heaven Dou Empire, so it was quicker to reach.

Bibi Dong and Hu Liena stood outside the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's gates with some of the commoners.

Bibi Dong was there for Keqing's ascension materials, while Hu Liena was there for Yae Miko's.

Bibi Dong asked, "You just said you need five Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul scales from someone with a Soul Power Level above eighty?"

Hu Liena nodded. "Don't you need the same thing, Teacher?"

Bibi Dong shook her head. "No. I need Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul scales from someone with a Soul Power Level between sixty and seventy. It seems genuine five-stars really do have higher requirements."

After speaking, she looked at the Spirit City commoners behind her.

Bibi Dong had already asked them, and none of these commoners had obtained a five-star character. They were there to get ascension materials for their four-star characters.

The requirements for four-stars were lower still. They needed scales from someone with a Soul Power Level between twenty and thirty.

Bibi Dong said, "Kick the gate down."

She gave the order, but the commoners behind her shrank back, and no one dared step forward.

This was the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, one of the Upper Three Sects, after all, while they were merely ordinary commoners.

When no one responded, Bibi Dong asked in puzzlement, "What are you afraid of? You're not what you used to be. Pick any one of you, and you could take their clan master on alone."

Hu Liena turned around. "That's right. Besides, Teacher and I are here too, and we have five-star characters."

The commoners finally grew bolder. They had only dared come in the first place because Bibi Dong was leading them, so naturally they had to follow her orders.

A young man who had a four-star Razor stepped forward. After hesitating for a moment, he kicked the clan's gate.

But the gate merely gave a dull thud and didn't budge an inch.

Bibi Dong was speechless. "Where's your four-star character? Is he just for show? Smash the gate down. Don't forget, we're robbers today. There's no need to reason with them."
