Douluo: Twins of Fate

Chapter 352 Pause
Jiang Shengyu stood in front of the main hall of the Mingdu Imperial Palace. In one half of his field of vision, the Mingdu Imperial Palace was constantly expanding, while in the other half, the figure on the horizon was also rapidly approaching him.

Upon approaching, Jiang Qingtong withdrew all her sprinting power and lunged at Jiang Shengyu, who had already opened her arms to welcome her return.

The two embraced, with Jiang Qingtong's arms wrapped around Jiang Shengyu's neck and one foot off the ground.

Two hearts beating in unison pressed together.

Feeling the warmth of the double embrace and hearing the resounding heartbeats echoing each other across flesh and blood, the two finally felt much more at ease.

The feeling that they were growing increasingly distant from others gradually faded away.

"I am back."

Jiang Qingtong murmured to herself, unsure whether she was happy because the sense of alienation she felt from others was gradually fading, or because she was truly happy to be back in Mingdu.

Hearing the echo, Jiang Shengyu nodded gently and said softly, "Yes, welcome back."

"Oh dear, it's only been a short time since we were separated, and you're already hugging each other as soon as you see each other!" Kong Deming walked out of the main hall and saw the two of them. Although he said this, his old face was already beaming with joy.

Behind him followed Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, and the others. Seeing the situation, they all laughed and teased, "Hey! Your Majesty, Empress, we're still here! Have some compassion for single people!"

Jiang Qingtong jumped down from Jiang Shengyu's arms, straightened her clothes, and bowed to Kong Deming, saying, "Teacher! I have returned safely."

Kong Deming smiled and nodded: "Good! It's good that you're safe! It's good that you're safe!"

Xiao Hongchen eagerly said to Jiang Qingtong, "Tell us about the Seagod Island! I've been curious about it for so long! If it weren't for Her Majesty Silver Moon forbidding me from going..."

Kong Deming glanced back at Xiao Hongchen, who immediately shut his mouth, bowed, and admitted his mistake in one smooth motion. Looking at his unruly demeanor, Kong Deming looked helpless: "You brat... I really don't know how your grandfather raised you, you're so irresponsible!"

“He learned it from this kid… uh, from His Majesty the Emperor.” Xiao Hongchen blinked, pointed at Jiang Shengyu with a grin, his expression suggesting that Kong Deming should scold him if he wanted to.

But how could Kong Deming bear to scold Jiang Shengyu?

In the end, Xiao Hongchen shouldered everything alone and went to the side to shut himself away.

Jiang Qingtong explained to everyone what she had encountered on Seagod Island. When she mentioned that Hai Tangsan's divine consciousness had personally descended to the mortal realm, possessed the statue, and fought with her, everyone was shocked.

"My God, that's a god! Qing Tong, are you alright?" Meng Hongchen grabbed Jiang Qing Tong's hand and asked with concern.

"Of course I'm fine. If I were in trouble, would I still be sitting here?" Jiang Qingtong smiled and patted Meng Hongchen's hand to reassure her.

Xiao Hongchen poked his head over and asked curiously, "So how did you manage to do it?"

"I have to thank Yuhao for this. I used the Eternal Heaven Kingdom to blow it up." Jiang Qingtong smiled and told everyone how she used the Eternal Heaven Kingdom to ambush Tang San.

Kong Deming looked serious. After Jiang Qingtong finished speaking, he said, "Don't do such dangerous things again! I didn't send you to take the Eternal Heaven Kingdom to play a game of mutual destruction with others!"

"The other party is a god..."

"Even if the other party is mentally ill, it won't work!"

Kong Deming raised his voice, his imposing manner making Jiang Qingtong shrink back like a quail, and whisper in response, "Understood, teacher."

Jiang Qingtong was, after all, the Empress, and nearly twenty years old. Moreover, she readily admitted her mistake, so Kong Deming couldn't say anything harsher. He waved his hand and said, "You've just returned; get some rest." Jiang Qingtong smiled broadly and nodded, saying, "Thank you for your understanding, Teacher!"

Meng Hongchen happily pulled Jiang Qingtong away; the two had a lot to talk about.

Xiao Hongchen wanted to follow and listen, but Kong Deming glanced at him and pulled him back.

"Where else do you want to go? If you don't break through to the Title Douluo level this time, don't even think about resting!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hongchen's eyes widened. He swear to God, he had only just broken through to the Soul Douluo level. When would he ever become a Title Douluo? He wasn't some kind of freak like Jiang Shengyu!
"Your Majesty, my sister..."

"What sister? I'm talking about you." Kong Deming ignored Xiao Hongchen's words. Meng Hongchen was chatting with Jiang Qingtong, which was serious business, while Xiao Hongchen wasn't doing anything important.

Jiang Shengyu stepped forward, patted Xiao Hongchen on the shoulder with a smile, and said, "Old Xiao, how about a fight with me? Maybe you can break through in the duel?"

"Do you think I'm stupid?"

Xiao Hongchen rolled her eyes at him. Who had ever seen an 82-level Soul Douluo jump eight levels to become a Title Douluo after fighting a Title Douluo? It's a matter of cultivation level!
Seeing that Xiao Hongchen disagreed, Jiang Shengyu looked regretful, as if she had missed a chance to beat him up.

Seeing Jiang Shengyu's appearance, Xiao Hongchen almost coughed up blood: "If I had known, I should have stayed in the front line. Why did I come back!"

Jiang Shengyu put her arm around his shoulder and patted him, saying, "Stop complaining, keep working hard!"

"understood!"

Xiao Hongchen reluctantly agreed, then shrugged and said, "Stay away, you're not Qing Tong! Don't pull me around."

Jiang Shengyu: "..."

What is that brat saying?

Late at night, on the front lines.

With the addition of the Abyss Army, the counterattack of the three kingdoms that originally belonged to Douluo Continent was very strong, and they had already reclaimed a lot of land. However, in the face of the Sun and Moon Army, which had already experienced the Abyss, the fear brought by the Abyss Army was not as great as Shrek Academy had expected.

Under the leadership of Huo Yuhao and a group of level-nine soul masters, the Sun Moon Army quickly stabilized the battle line between Tian Dou City and Ling Dou City, and the vast territory to the north was still in the hands of the Sun Moon Empire.

Tang Ya also led the Tang Clan back to Tian Dou City and immediately began producing soul tools.

Mingde Hall has authorized Tang Sect to manufacture a number of military soul tools to support the front lines. A steady stream of soul-guided shells and various soul tools are being produced from Tang Sect's temporary factories. As a result, the soldiers fighting in the original three kingdoms of Douluo Continent no longer need to have their weapons transported from the Sun Moon Empire.

The two capitals have clearly become the key points of contention between the two sides, with the remaining forces of the two great empires eyeing them covetously, determined to reclaim their own capitals.

Huo Yuhao, along with three level-nine soul masters and the two soul master groups, Evil Lord and Fear Claw, were stationed in Heaven Dou City.

The Heavenly Dou City Imperial Palace, this former royal palace, has now become the temporary command center of the Sun Moon Empire's army.

Huo Yuhao stood in the main hall, with a map of the entire Tiandou City and the surrounding mountain ranges and plains laid out in front of him. Beside him were several other level-nine soul masters and the leaders of the Evil Lord and Fear Claw soul master groups.
