Chapter 4 If Heaven's will is against us, then let us slay the heavens! Slay the gods!
Just as the Spirit Hall and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan were each making their own calculations, the other two of the three upper sects were naturally also unable to remain calm.
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong stood side by side, all looking up at the sacred and majestic golden sky.
Ning Fengzhi smiled gently and sighed softly, "I wonder how many people from our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will make the list this time.
Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, your martial souls are among the best in the continent. You'll definitely have a place on this martial soul ranking."
Gu Rong, the Bone Douluo, chuckled and shook his head, "Fengzhi, I'd like to too, but it's not easy.
There are many hidden geniuses on the continent. Who knows which corner might be harboring some old monsters we don't even know about?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a strange expression appeared on the usually calm face of Sword Douluo Chen Xin.
"Speaking of monsters," Chen Xin said slowly, his voice cold, "Isn't Rongrong's teacher the greatest one? Even now, we still don't know what his martial soul is."
Upon hearing the name Lin Yuan, both Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong fell silent.
All three of them felt somewhat ashamed. Lin Yuan, who was only a Contra Douluo at the time, had so easily taken their little princess, Ning Rongrong, away.
If it weren't for the letter he left behind saying he had taken her to be a disciple and promising to return her after a while, they would have gone mad.
Did they not want to go looking for her?
In fact, even after reading the letter, they used their intelligence network to search, but they couldn't find her!
It wasn't until a year later that Ning Rongrong was finally returned.
After a long pause, Ning Fengzhi said helplessly, "I have a feeling that once the rankings are officially released, Lin Yuan's martial spirit will give us a huge surprise."
"Sigh!" Gu Rong suddenly sighed heavily, his face full of frustration. "I really want to see that girl Rongrong! That lousy Canglan Academy only gives us one vacation a year, and it's only fifteen days! I just can't stand it!"
Chen Xin glanced at him and said indifferently, "Sure. As long as you can get past the sword formation he set up, you can go in anytime. Don't you see how many times I've failed under that sword formation over the past few years?"
Gu Rong was speechless.
Break through the sword formation? He wanted to too!
But last time, he only felt the soaring sword intent from the outer edge of the sword formation, and he felt that his proud defensive martial spirit was simply a paper decoration in front of the opponent.
As for using his most proficient spatial power to directly break in?
Don't be ridiculous.
Chen Xin had already told him that a special domain shrouded that sword formation.
No space! (Space power is prohibited)
In other words, he cannot bypass the sword formation and directly teleport into the academy.
Speaking of this, Gu Rong gritted his teeth in anger: "Why?! We can't go in, but that old poisoner Dugu Bo can come and go freely. He's the exception!"
Ning Fengzhi listened to his two uncles' complaints and said thoughtfully, "Could it be because you two are too warlike, or rather, have bad tempers?"
"Let's not talk about Uncle Gu, let's talk about Uncle Jian," Ning Fengzhi looked at Chen Xin, "If you could freely enter Canglan Academy, wouldn't you be pestering Lin Yuan every day, asking him to teach you swordsmanship?"
"Rongrong said that Senior Lin Yuan prefers peace and quiet and doesn't like being disturbed. As for Dugu Bo, he's rather aloof. At most, he'll go in to visit his granddaughter, chat with Lin Yuan, drink tea, and treat Canglan Academy as a place to retire."
Chen Xin: .
Gu Rong: .
Gu Rong held back for a long time, then retorted with a flushed face: "So what! He's still so young. Young people should have drive! How old is he? How can he have no drive at all!"
Ning Fengzhi sighed, "Uncle Gu, once someone possesses the strength of Lin Yuan, the next thing to consider is how to become a god.
Becoming a god isn't just about hard work; it also requires opportunity. Look at Qian Daoliu of the Spirit Hall, does he still have the drive to fight?"
Qian Daoliu hadn't left the Hall of Worship for who knows how long.
His words left Gu Rong speechless.
In fact, Ning Fengzhi was half right about Lin Yuan's thoughts.
Lin Yuan allowed Dugu Bo free access for three reasons.
First, his impression of Dugu Bo was indeed much better than his impression of Ning Fengzhi and the other two. Second, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was, after all, the treasure land that Dugu Bo discovered and possessed first. He had used someone else's immortal herb, given his granddaughter a great opportunity, and then allowed him free access to his academy—it was perfectly reasonable.
Besides, he usually lacked someone to chat with.
He couldn't possibly flirt with his group of beautiful young female disciples every day, could he?
That would be "utterly disgraceful!"
Thirdly, the two of them are now in the same boat. Dugu Bo is thinking about retiring, and Lin Yuan is also in a similar state of mind.
As for Ning Fengzhi and the other two, Ning Fengzhi, as a sect leader, is too cunning. As a support-type Soul Master, he's overly eager to stir up trouble. Relying on the two Title Douluos by his side, he always wants to meddle in the affairs of the world, which Lin Yuan finds annoying.
As for Gu Rong, although he does everything for the sect, his volatile personality, which makes him prone to killing at the slightest provocation, is clearly not very likable. Lin Yuan doesn't have much ill will towards Jian Dao Chenxin. Letting him enter the academy isn't out of the question, but Lin Yuan also finds it troublesome.
What if this guy keeps blocking the door asking for guidance? Would he still want to enjoy his leisurely retirement?
He just wants to quietly teach his disciples, improve his own cultivation, and slowly break through the level 100 threshold to achieve his own godhood. Isn't that better?
As for inheriting the divine legacies of the Douluo Continent?
Lin Yuan, a transmigrator with a system, why would he want to inherit a godhood?
The gods of this continent are not worthy of his martial soul inheriting.
They lack the prestige!
He refuses to believe that once Xiao Wu and the others have cultivated to their full potential and increased their strength, the power they provide will be enough for him to break through to level 100 and become a god!
If the will of Heaven in this world does not permit it, then he will—slay the heavens! Slay the gods!
Haotian Sect.
Within that secluded sect.
The moment the celestial curtain appeared, Sect Master Tang Xiao immediately summoned all the elders of the sect to the council hall.
Tang Xiao sat in the sect master's seat, his expression serious, and asked, "Elders, what are your thoughts on this celestial curtain? Will this affect our sect, which is currently in seclusion?"
The Second Elder said, "Sect Master, in my opinion, we should observe the situation. If this ranking is true, then with our Haotian Hammer, we will surely be among the top three!"
