The news of Qiangu Zhangting's challenge to Jing Shaoyu spread throughout Shrek City and even the entire community of senior soul masters in the Federation overnight.

After all, these two are not ordinary soul masters, one is the leader of the Shrek Seven Devils, the dean of Shrek Academy, and the master of the Fighting God Pavilion, and the other is one of the four soul messengers of the Soul Transmission Tower and the young master of the Qiangu Family. Both are high-level figures of the top forces in the Federation.

The most important thing is that both of them have reached the Titled Douluo realm and are the undisputed leaders of the younger generation of the Federation. One is between nineteen and twenty years old, and the other is between twenty-nine and thirty years old. Now these two people are fighting for a woman, and the drama is at its peak.

Whether it was the relatives and friends of the parties involved or just passers-by, the expectations for this showdown were already high. Many people rushed to Shrek City overnight, ready to witness this scene with their own eyes.

One hour after Qiangu Zhangting challenged Jing Shaoyu, in the office of the tower master at the headquarters of the Spiritual Tower.

Spiritual Douluo Qiangu Dongfeng listened to his grandson's explanation calmly, with light and shadows fluctuating in his eyes. In fact, his heart was not as calm as his expression. No matter whether Qiangu Zhangting's action was right or wrong, Qiangu Dongfeng had the same attitude.

In the past, his father had a conflict with Tianjuan Douluo for a woman, and he also had a conflict with Yun Ming for a woman. Now, his grandson is still having a conflict with Yun Ming's disciples for a woman. Sure enough, the Qiangu family and Shrek Academy are destined to conflict with each other!
Qiangu Dongfeng couldn't help but sigh softly, with a helpless look on his face.

"Grandpa, I'm sorry, I was too impulsive." Qiangu Zhangting noticed Qiangu Dongfeng's expression, his heart tightened, and he immediately admitted his mistake and said.

“No, you are right!” Upon hearing this, Qiangu Dongfeng frowned and said in a deep voice, “Zhang Ting, remember, as the future head of the Qiangu family, you must not admit your mistakes easily. Even if your decision is really inappropriate, it is definitely not a mistake!

Just like now, I am angry for my beloved. Although I am reckless, I still have the blood of a man in my Qiangu family! This is good!
Grandpa only asks you one question, do you have the confidence to defeat Jing Shaoyu?"

"Of course I have confidence!" Upon hearing this, the fear on Qiangu Zhangting's face turned into confidence, and he said in a firm voice, "Grandpa, that Jing Shaoyu is ten years younger than me, and at most he is a Soul Douluo. I am a Titled Douluo, so beating him is a piece of cake, right?"

Qiangu Dongfeng was originally very happy to see Qiangu Zhangting speak so confidently, but after he finished listening, the smile on his face froze and he flew into a rage, "Idiot! You dare to challenge your opponent without even knowing his background, you are so stupid! How can I trust you to hand over my family to you!"

Qiangu Zhangting was stunned, staring blankly at the furious Qiangu Dongfeng. What was going on? Grandpa was praising him one second ago, why did he call him a fool the next second?

"I thought you had carefully considered challenging Jing Shaoyu," Qiangu Dongfeng looked at Qiangu Zhangting's reaction, his body slumped, and he fell speechlessly into a chair, saying, "I didn't expect that you were really blinded by anger!

I ask you, how much do you know about Jing Shaoyu? "

"I know that he is a disciple of Sky-lifting Douluo Yunming, the current dean of Shrek Academy, the leader of the Fighting God Pavilion, and the leader of the Shrek Seven Devils. He was a Soul Sage a year ago." Qiangu Zhangting immediately sat up straight and told what he knew. "By the way, he was once a disciple of Aunt Leng."

"So, your understanding of him is still stuck in what it was a year ago?" Qiangu Dongfeng smiled helplessly, "Then what have you been doing today?"

"I, I saw Nana go out, so I followed her, but I lost her, so I looked for her in the city," Qiangu Zhangting stammered. He obviously realized that his behavior was a bit stupid, so he kept his head down the whole time and didn't dare to look at Qiangu Dongfeng's expression.

Qiangu Dongfeng didn't know what to say. Looking at his grandson who was already 29 years old but still as childish as a child, he couldn't help but doubt his educational philosophy over the years. Could it be that he had protected Zhang Ting too well?
"Jing Shaoyu's current cultivation level is the same as yours, both are Titled Douluo at level 91!" Qiangu Dongfeng told the news he learned this morning, with a bit of helplessness on his face.

"What?!" Qiangu Zhangting was shocked. He stared at Qiangu Dongfeng with wide eyes and shouted, "How is this possible? How is it possible that someone can break through from Soul Saint to Titled Douluo in just one year? Grandpa, how is this possible?"

"This is a fact that has been dual-certified by Shrek Academy and the Temple of War God." Qiangu Dongfeng looked at his grandson's shocked expression and expressed his understanding, because he had the same reaction when he learned the news, and his reaction was even more intense.

Because he couldn't stand the fact that another brilliant person appeared in Shrek Academy, and he couldn't stand the fact that such a person once belonged to their Spirit Pagoda! His hatred for Yun Ming reached an unprecedented extreme, and he even felt a little resentful towards Leng Yaozhu.

If Leng Yaozhu had not sent Jing Shaoyu to Shrek Academy, then such a genius should have been from their Spirit Pagoda, their Qiangu family!
"Grandpa, even if he is also a Titled Douluo, so what!" Qiangu Zhangting was not an ordinary person after all. He quickly calmed down, his eyes remained confident, and he said, "When I was a Soul Douluo, I was invincible at the same level. I can still be a Titled Douluo! Grandpa, don't worry!"

"Good! You are worthy of being my grandson, Qiangu Dongfeng!" Qiangu Dongfeng was very satisfied to see that Qiangu Zhangting did not lose his composure because of the previous misjudgment. He stood up and walked to his side, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "However, to ensure that everything goes well, grandpa will practice a few moves with you tonight and teach you the last three moves of my Qiangu family's unyielding stick method!"

"Yes, grandpa!" Qiangu Zhangting shouted immediately with excitement in his eyes when he heard it.

At the same time, at the Spirit Pagoda headquarters, in Leng Yaozhu's office.

Leng Yaozhu leaned back in her office chair, staring with her bright eyes at Gu Yue who was sitting opposite her. She remained silent and looked a little dazed.

"If you have something to say, tell me quickly. If not, I'll go back." Gu Yue felt very impatient with Leng Yaoju's gaze, and said with a pout.

"Tsk!" Leng Yaozhu finally spoke, and with a light tsk, she said with a teasing look, "From now on, I'm afraid I'll have to give up my title as the most beautiful woman on the continent and let someone more talented take over. Hehe, after all, I didn't cause the heirs of the two major forces to fight for me!"

"You called me here just to make fun of me?" Gu Yue was already upset because Jing Shaoyu agreed to Qiangu Zhangting's challenge. Now, hearing Leng Yaoju's words, which were openly sighing but secretly veiled in words, he felt even more unhappy and said in a cold voice.

"How could that be?" Leng Yaozhu chuckled and said, "You are my disciple. I was counting on you to break the monopoly of the Qiangu family and become the master of the Spiritual Transmission Pagoda. In fact, this is also good. At least the Qiangu family will be cautious when they want to win you over or suppress you. And as long as Qiangu Zhangting loses to A'e, then the position of the next tower master will be yours."

"Are you so sure?" Gu Yue's expression relaxed a lot after hearing this. In fact, Qiangu Zhangting's behavior disrupted Gu Yue's plan and forced her to make changes. This was also the reason why she felt bad. Now Leng Yaoju's words gave her another possibility.

"The biggest reason why the Qiangu family has been able to hold the position of tower master for hundreds of years is that their family has produced top powerhouses in every generation, from Qiangu Dieting of the previous generation, to Qiangu Dongfeng and Qiangu Qingfeng of this generation, and to the powerful Qiangu Zhangting of the next generation." Leng Yaoju said softly with deep eyes.

"The upward trend of the Qiangu Family, coupled with the management of two generations of Qiangu Dieting and Qiangu Dongfeng, has made everyone keep silent about their father-to-son inheritance. Now the trend of Qiangu Dongfeng passing on the throne from grandfather to grandson is becoming more and more obvious. Qiangu Zhangting's talent of reaching the Titled Douluo at the age of only 29 can make people ignore their behavior. However, once Qiangu Zhangting loses to A'e, then everyone will have reason to oppose Qiangu Dongfeng's behavior. At least Qiangu Zhangting will not be able to become the next generation of tower master. At that time, you, who are the same age as A'e and whose talent is not inferior to A'e, will become the center of competition between everyone and the Qiangu Family.

Then, you just need to..."

"I just need to show that I am determined to become the tower master, and then someone will spontaneously support me. Even the Qiangu family will try to win me over, right?" Gu Yue said, his eyes lighting up.

"That's right!" Leng Yaozhu nodded with satisfaction and said, "The faction opposing the Qiangu family needs a strong banner, and you can be that banner."

"I understand!" Gu Yue said immediately with a pensive expression on his face.

Seeing this, Leng Yaozhu stopped talking. Gu Yue was a smart person and she knew what to do.

Gu Yue is indeed a smart person. Leng Yaozhu thought that she was thinking about the pros and cons of becoming a flag bearer, but in fact, she was thinking about how to use the power of opponents to become the tower master, and then use the power of the Qiangu family to attack the opposition.

Neither the Qiangu family nor the Qiangu family’s opponents knew that Gu Yue’s target had never been one side. What she wanted was to deal with both sides at the same time!
At the same time, in Shrek Academy, the elders led by Yali were also surprised when they heard about the battle between Jing Shaoyu and Qiangu Zhangting, so they looked for Jing Shaoyu to understand the whole picture and express their opinions.

"Ayu, Qiangu Zhangting is Qiangu Dongfeng's favorite grandson, and the most outstanding child of this generation of the Qiangu family," Yali said with a worried look on her face, "so you'd better save his life to avoid a life-and-death situation with the Qiangu family."

"Why keep them? In my opinion, just slap them to death!" Long Yeyue said angrily, "I have disliked the Qiangu family for a long time. They have provoked us again and again. It is time to teach them a lesson!"

When everyone present heard Long Yeyue's words, they all smiled knowingly, because this old lady was really capable of doing such a thing. When she was young, she broke into the headquarters of the Spirit Transmission Tower alone and slapped Qiangu Dieting in the face. Now that she is old, she is even more fearless.

"Mr. Long, not really, not really." Affectionate Douluo Zang Xin said with a smile.

The Tang Sect decided to open the secret realm of the Tang Sect to the Shrek Seven Devils. He came to inform Jing Shaoyu and the other six people, and happened to encounter this incident. So he was kept by Yali to discuss countermeasures together.

"Shao Yu, how much do you know about Qiangu Zhangting?" Cai Yue'er asked. Although they didn't think that Jing Shao Yu would be defeated by Qiangu Zhangting, as the saying goes, it is better to be prepared. They should despise the enemy strategically and take the enemy seriously tactically.

"To be honest, I've never paid attention to this guy before," Jing Shaoyu waved his hand helplessly and said, "I've only met him three times, the first time was six or seven years ago."

"Yes." Yali nodded and said, "Don't worry, the academy has his information. We have prepared it for you. Come on, take a look first."

Yali handed over the information she had prepared long ago to Jing Shaoyu.

Jing Shaoyu took the information and began to study it.

As the young master of the Qiangu family, Qiangu Zhangting's martial spirit is of course the Qiangu family's inherited martial spirit, the Panlong Stick.

The Qiangu family is a family of soul masters with a long history, which can be traced back to the era of the Spirit Hall. Twenty thousand years ago, the two priests at the end of the Spirit Hall, Qianjun Douluo and Fumo Douluo, were the ancestors of the Qiangu family. As to whether they were the beginning of the Qiangu family, it is not certain.

Of course, this is not the point. The point is that the Qiangu family has produced many outstanding people, and almost every generation has strong people at the Titled Douluo level. The recent generations have soared to the sky. Two generations have given birth to Extreme Douluo, and one of them became the master of the Spirit Transmission Tower. This directly makes the Qiangu family one of the best soul master families on the Douluo Continent. There are almost no soul master families that can be compared with it.

The foundation of a soul master family is the martial soul. The Panlong Stick martial soul of the Qiangu family is well-known and is recognized as the top-level weapon martial soul.

According to legend, the martial soul of the ancestor of the Qiangu family was originally just an ordinary long stick. By chance, he met a giant dragon that was about to die. In order to prolong its life, the dragon made a contract with the ancestor of the Qiangu family, and transformed into a dragon soul and merged with the martial soul of the ancestor of the Qiangu family. This made the martial soul of the ancestor of the Qiangu family leap from an ordinary long stick to a top-level martial soul, the Panlong Stick.

From then on, the Qiangu family's martial spirit also turned into the Panlong Stick.

This story was of course fabricated by the Qiangu family in order to better control the Spirit Pagoda, and its credibility is extremely low, but the dragon soul mentioned in it is real.

When a Panlong Stick soul master reaches the level of Soul Master, he will be accompanied by a dragon soul during battle. When he reaches the level of Titled Douluo, the dragon soul will transform into a real dragon and assist the Panlong Stick soul master in battle. Therefore, the soul masters of the Qiangu family often experience two awakenings, one is the awakening of the martial soul, and the other is the awakening of the dragon soul.

What determines the talent of the Qiangu family soul master is not the martial soul, but the dragon soul, because the Panlong Stick martial soul must be innately full of soul power. As long as you practice step by step, it is only a matter of time before you reach the Titled Douluo.

However, if you want to go further, it depends on the strength of the dragon soul.

Qiangu Zhangting's dragon soul is the Evil-Breaking Dragon, also known as the Heaven-Awakening Holy Golden Dragon, which is the highest-level dragon soul, the same as the dragon souls of his grandfather Qiangu Dongfeng and great-grandfather Qiangu Dieting. This means that as long as he does not die, he will be able to reach level ninety-nine at the very least in the future. This is why the people in the Spirit Pagoda acquiesce in him to be the successor to the tower master.

"Shao Yu, there is nothing worth mentioning about the Qiangu family. The only thing we need to pay attention to is their ancestral stick method," Long Yeyue said, "The nine styles of the Unyielding Stick Method are the stick methods summarized by the Qiangu family after dozens of generations, which can maximize the advantages of their martial arts spirits.

However, this stick technique is extremely advanced. Even the old man Qiangu Dieting and Qiangu Dongfeng have not been able to learn the ninth style. This Qiangu Zhangting should still be at the fifth style. When fighting spirits tomorrow, you will use your teacher's seven styles of Qingtian to beat him and let them see who is the leader of long-handled weapon spirits!"

"Okay." Jing Shaoyu nodded to show that he understood.
