Douluo: Dragon King's Star Devouring Wings

Chapter 570: Great wisdom is as foolish as great wisdom

An eerie silence fell over the dining table. Everyone seemed to understand that they might have to make a fateful choice in the future.

Suddenly, Qian Gu Huang Yu spoke up, "There are only two ways to stop the war right now."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi's eyes lit up. She could understand Ning Qinglan's thoughts; if she could, she wouldn't want to go down that path either.

Qian Gu Huang Yu said, "The first one is very simple. As long as I don't create the Soul Armor, the war won't start. After all, the reason why those military families suddenly put the invasion of Xingluo and Douling on the agenda is essentially to obtain the Four-Word Soul Armor."

“But that’s impossible,” Qian Gu Huang Yu quickly poured cold water on Chen Yi’s enthusiasm. “Let alone how long I can hold out without arousing their suspicion.”

"If conditions permit, I will definitely create the four-word soul armor as soon as possible. The more strength I have, the more likely I am to become a god."

Chen Yi couldn't refute this reason. She herself was a Limit Douluo, so naturally she longed to become a god, and she understood just how much Limit Douluos desired to become gods.

Blocking someone's path is tantamount to killing their parents. Chen Yi would never do something like stopping Qian Gu Huang Yu from pursuing the path to godhood in order to protect the Xing Luo Empire.

"What about the second method?" Chen Yi asked.

Qian Gu Huang Yu said, "The Soul Clans are eager to start wars against other countries simply because they crave Soul Armor."

"If I provide the Soul Clan with four-word Soul Armor before the war begins, then when their armies set out, Xingluo and Douling can use the weapons they obtained from you to inflict heavy damage on them."

"Given the risk of harming the innocent, they are likely to give up now, since they have already achieved their primary goal of obtaining the Soul Armor."

Chen Yi's eyes lit up, and she was about to say that the plan was feasible, but Qian Gu Huang Yu poured cold water on her enthusiasm.

Qian Gu Huang Yu said, "That's impossible. Grandma and Father naturally know that they can't refuse the Soul Clan's attack on Xing Luo and Dou Ling, nor can they refuse to provide them with Four-Word Soul Armor."

"Therefore, in the post-war resource allocation, the Spirit Pagoda will take a considerable portion."

"Before absorbing all these resources, the Spirit Pagoda will absolutely not provide four-word soul armor to all the soul clans."

"It's fair to say that the second scenario was doomed to fail from the start."

Qian Gu Huang Yu said this to make Chen Yi back down, to tell her that this was the general trend and would not be affected by personal goals.

Qian Gu Huang Yu has confirmed that Ning Qinglan will definitely not be tied to the Tang Sect's cause. However, Qian Gu Huang Yu does not want Chen Yi and Ning Qinglan to become enemies because of this.

As expected, Qian Gu Huang Yu received Ning Qinglan's gratitude expressed through her eyes.

...

Evening, Tang Clan headquarters of the Star Luo Empire.

Chen Yi had just finished showering and was sitting naked on the bed with her legs together, her eyes lowered, and her long white hair falling onto her proud breasts, making her look like a primary school student who had done something wrong.

"Tell me, am I really useless?" Chen Yi whispered.

Ning Qinglan had just come out of the bathroom when she saw Chen Yi sitting naked on her bed. She barely suppressed the burning desire in her heart, took off her bathrobe, and pulled Chen Yi into her arms.

"Yiyi, this isn't your fault," Ning Qinglan comforted her softly.

Chen Yi let Ning Qinglan hold her and whispered, "But I don't know what to do. I don't want to be separated from you, but I also don't want to betray the Tang Sect."

Chen Yi hesitated for a long time. She understood Qian Gu Huang Yu's words, but she didn't know how to choose.

On one side is his lover, and on the other is his sect.

"So that's the problem?" Ning Qinglan couldn't help but chuckle. "Yiyi, I told you long ago that you're not suitable to be the deputy sect leader. Do you really think Jun Shengbai and Bei Dexun are fools?"

"They're very clever! If they really have no other choice, they definitely won't choose to fight the Federation to the death. They might even directly betray Xingluo."

Chen Yi's eyes flickered slightly. She just didn't want to betray the Tang Clan that raised her, but as for whether or not to help the Star Luo Empire, she had always been indifferent. She would help if she could, and if she couldn't, then so be it.

Seeing that Chen Yi's mood had improved a bit, Ning Qinglan smiled and said, "Yi Yi, do you know how people are describing the current leadership of Shrek Academy and Tang Sect?"

"What?" Chen Yi blinked, her curiosity piqued.

Ning Qinglan smiled and said, "Bede Xun, as a quasi-god in the sewers, has maintained Shrek Academy's transcendent status for many years, leading Shrek Academy to prosperity. He can be called 'great wisdom'."

"Jun Shengbai, as the leader of the Tang Clan, may seem unreliable and always laughing and joking, but he is actually extremely shrewd; he just pretends to be foolish."

"As for Long Yeyue, she is impulsive and acts on impulse, so she can only be considered 'not wise'."

"And what about me?" Chen Yi asked.

"big."

"?" Chen Yi shook her head in confusion, only to find Ning Qinglan staring at a rather conspicuous part of her body with a smile.

A blush instantly spread across Chen Yi's cold face, and she subconsciously stretched out her arms to cover her soft aunt's chest.

But considering that he and Ning Qinglan had been together for so many years, not to mention seeing it, the entire place had already undergone the Western Development Strategy, so this was nothing more than burying his head in the sand.

With this thought in mind, Chen Yi immediately lowered her arm that was covering her chest, letting Ning Qinglan stare at her.

Ning Qinglan pursed her lips, then pressed Chen Yi down onto the soft bed. Her thin red lips approached Chen Yi's ear, and her hot breath made Chen Yi's delicate body tremble.

"Honestly, it's good to rebel against me sometimes. Always giving in to my every whim takes away a lot of fun!"

If Qian Gu Huang Yu and Gu Yue Na were here, they would definitely exclaim that this is a science fiction movie.

"Do you really want to try it?" Chen Yi was somewhat eager to give it a shot.

"talk about it later."

Caught off guard, Chen Yi blushed slightly and let out a sound that was hard to tell whether it was from pain or restraint.

A smile appeared on Ning Qinglan's face. "Today, let me punish you properly first."

"what--"

Ning Qinglan remained unmoved, a malicious smile spreading across her face. "Who was it that was thinking of defying me just now? This is no ordinary provocation!"

"Master, I was wrong—"

...

The next day, early in the morning.

"Huang'er, how are you feeling now?" Gu Yuena asked with concern, looking at Qian Gu Huang Yu who had just finished meditating.

Because of the immense strain of yesterday's battle with Chen Yi, Qian Gu Huang Yu, unusually, didn't pester Gu Yue Na to hone her combat skills that evening, instead choosing to meditate and recover. After assessing her own condition, Qian Gu Huang Yu said, "My soul power has basically recovered, but my mental state hasn't returned to its peak."

Yesterday, under the pressure and guidance of Chen Yi, Qian Gu Huang Yu jumped directly from the initial stage of Sword Soul to the stage of Sword God in just over ten minutes.

The energy expenditure for Qian Gu Huang Yu was considerable, like doing a dozen challenging math problems on the college entrance exam; his brain was almost numb.

Gu Yuena supported Qian Gu Huang Yu, "Huang'er, can you still participate in today's battle? Should we let Harosa just take out Mu Tian?"

Currently, Qian Gu Huang Yu hasn't consumed much of her soul power and mental energy, but her mental state isn't very good, making it difficult for her to unleash her full strength.

Mu Tian will undoubtedly fight with all his might, because if he cannot defeat Qian Gu Huang Yu, Liu Yueyi will not return to the Body Sect, and his wish to revitalize the sect will be completely shattered.

Qian Gu Huang Yu shook her head and laughed, "We've come this far, it would be too embarrassing to let Harosa make a move now. Otherwise, who will make up for my reputation as the terminator of the Shi Tang?"

The outcome of the Five Gods' Battle of the Ancient Phoenix Feathers—winning all five battles—is completely different from winning only four.

Having come this far, Qian Gu Huang Yu would naturally not back down now.

"Besides, I don't even consider a mere demigod a threat."

Back when she was at the seventh level of the Ancient Phoenix Feather cultivation, she was able to single-handedly kill Yang Kaitai, the demigod Douluo with the Terror Claw. Now that she has reached level ninety-eight and is at the half-step limit, she doesn't even consider a mere demigod a threat.

A smile appeared on Gu Yuena's face. "Then let them see what the might of the Dragon King is all about!"

...

The Xingluo National Stadium was still packed with people, and today, as it was the final battle of the Five Gods Showdown, tickets were even harder to come by.

"Shouldn't Mu Tian, ​​the sect master of the Body Sect, personally take action in today's battle of armor?"

"Probably. It was supposed to be a battle between the Spirit Pagoda and the Body Sect, but apart from the first battle where the Body Sect members were the main force, the rest were all external aid."

"That's right! This isn't a battle between the Spirit Pagoda and the Body Sect; it's the Spirit Pagoda taking on the Tang Sect, Shrek Academy, and the Empire all at once!"

"Be careful what you say, brother. If you talk badly about the Empire, you might get invited for tea by the special police."

"Hey, where are all these police officers? But on another note, I hope today's game will be more exciting. I didn't even understand yesterday's game before it ended."

"Yeah, it felt like Chenyi was dominating Qian Gu Huang Yu the whole time yesterday, and then Qian Gu Huang Yu just inexplicably won."

...

Various discussions filled the area around the Star Luo Empire Stadium, and the enthusiastic atmosphere was like a towering flame, threatening to ignite the entire Star Luo City.

Looking at the lively scene, a middle-aged woman sighed.

"What's wrong, ma'am? Is business not good?" a spectator next to her asked.

The beautiful woman said, "No, I'm a matchmaker. Business has been booming lately. A bunch of young girls have been asking me if someone with only a fourth or fifth ring cultivation level can marry Qian Gu Huang Yu."

"They treated this place like a wishing well, but since they paid me, I couldn't just tell them they were daydreaming, so I had to make up an excuse to refuse."

...

Amidst the clamor of the crowd, the final battle of the Five Gods is about to begin.

Inside the stadium, on the podium, Empress Dai Lingxun of the White Tiger faction arrived exceptionally early today. Although she didn't have high hopes for this match, it was, after all, the final battle, so she naturally had to come early.

Saint Dragon Douluo Enci remained by her side, saying, "Your Majesty need not worry. Yesterday, the Thousand Ancient Phoenix Feather was quite exhausted, and she even had to be carried out. One night is definitely not enough time for her to recover."

Dai Lingxun did not respond directly, but instead looked at Yue Hongchen and asked, "What is the Red Dust Tower Master's opinion on this matter?"

Yue Hongchen said, "Mu Tian still has a chance to win today's match."

"Is that really true?" Enci asked, somewhat surprised.

"If he's willing to kneel down and beg for mercy," Yue Hongchen said, pouring cold water on Enci's hopes.

Dai Lingxun rolled her eyes and said nothing more.

Seeing Dai Lingxun go from being full of vigor at the beginning to being almost resigned to her fate, Yue Hongchen couldn't help but find it a little funny.

Apart from a slight mishap in yesterday's weapons battle, Qian Gu Huang Yu crushed all other matches with absolute strength.

There was no luck involved, just pure strength.

It was this terrifying strength that caused Dai Lingxun to begin to lose confidence.

Yue Hongchen looked towards the competition venue, a smile spreading across his face. "After today's matches, my junior sister will soon be returning to the Federation."

I wonder what kind of expression the old lady will have when that piece is finished?

As the match time approached, the atmosphere in the stadium became even more intense. However, apart from the disciples of the Body Sect, almost all the remaining spectators were focused on Qian Gu Huang Yu.

On one hand, it is said to be a battle of the five gods between the Body Sect and the Spirit Pagoda, but the Body Sect has sought too many external aids, which lowers its innate impression score by one level.

On the other hand, the story of the Phoenix Feather is indeed beautiful, and her legendary experience of single-handedly taking on four major forces has made her a fan of many people.

A subtle smile appeared on Qian Gu Huang Yu's face as she slowly walked out of the waiting area. Today, she felt that everything had become different.

If the initial victories in the mech battles were met with skepticism and boos, then as the battles progressed, the skepticism diminished, replaced by more praise.

The Star Luo Empire has always revered individual heroism and the strength of individual Soul Masters, but now, Qian Gu Huang Yu has conquered them all with her strength.

In their hearts, Qian Gu Huang Yu may not be the strongest person on the entire Douluo Star, but he is already the strongest among the younger generation.

Qian Gu Huang Yu looked ahead and saw Mu Tian, ​​the current Body Douluo and sect master of the Body Sect, who entered the arena at almost the same time as her.

But when Mu Tian entered the arena, he was met with boos from the entire audience.

"QJF, get out of the Star Luo Empire!"

"You're not welcome here. Go back to your deep mountains and forests!"

"He wouldn't even spare his own apprentice; he's worse than an animal!"

A look of astonishment appeared in Mu Tian's eyes. [What's going on? It wasn't like this before.]

Qian Gu Huang Yu's lips curled up, revealing a faint smile. Just yesterday, she had Yue Hong Chen release all the grudges between Mu Tian and Liu Yue Yi.
