Douluo: Dragon King Huo Yuhao Lives Ten Thousand Years Later

Chapter 163 The Youngest Candidate Spirit Transmission Envoy in History

Qian Gu Dongfeng watched Huo Yuhao leave, his eyes flickering slightly.

Has Leng Yaozhu decided to stand behind Huo Yuhao?
With the addition of the Snow Empress, quite a few factions are already on his side, no wonder...

"I thought you would object because you hadn't made enough contributions."

A figure emerged from the shadows, speaking calmly.

"It's just an opportunity for assessment. If the two deputy tower masters agree, it would be too unreasonable for me to object."

Qian Gu Dongfeng looked at the figure, his tone devoid of emotion, "Moreover, this junior is clear-headed enough; we cannot underestimate him because of his young age."

The strong rule... There's no doubt that Huo Yuhao has the potential to become strong. He's very self-aware and understands his own strengths. Wasting time on power struggles now would be a waste of his talent.

"Spirit Transmission" is ultimately just a title, while the candidate Spirit Transmission Envoy has real power and is no longer on the same level as the core disciples. With this identity, those juniors will not be able to bother Huo Yuhao... well, except for the juniors of the Ji family.

"But this would ruin your idea of ​​gradually winning him over. He clearly won't stay at the Spirit Tower headquarters for long."

Qian Gu Dongfeng said calmly, "It will be at least twenty years before he becomes a Limit Douluo. Until then, I will be the Tower Master. There is enough time. Why should we rely on others?"

“That’s not bad. But aren’t you worried they’ll stop us? Di Tian might not support this plan, and the forces represented by the Far North are quite strong now.”

"We are also here for the Spirit Pagoda, as long as it's fast enough."

……

"Brother Zhangting."

The door to the cultivation room slid open silently, and Qian Gu Juechen appeared in the doorway. He deliberately walked lightly, but still startled the man inside who was concentrating on his cultivation.

Qian Gu Zhangting sat cross-legged like a drawn sword, holding his coiled dragon staff in his hand. After Qian Gu Juechen arrived, he slowly opened his eyes, a pale golden halo flowing in his pupils.

The residual soul energy fluctuations in the cultivation room had not completely subsided, and tiny golden specks of light floated in the air.

"Huo Yuhao has arrived."

Qian Gu Juechen said in a low voice, his gaze unconsciously falling on the lingering soul power ripples in front of Qian Gu Zhangting.

Big Brother has made progress again. He truly deserves to be the leader of this generation of the Eternal Clan and a candidate for Spirit Transmission Envoy.

However, he still couldn't understand why the other party was carrying the Panlong Staff while cultivating... It's somewhat similar to Ji Wufeng's style.

Qian Gu Zhangting tapped his knee lightly with his long, slender fingers, making a rhythmic, soft sound. "You've fought him, haven't you? How strong is he?"

Upon hearing this, Qian Gu Juechen's Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.

He took out an exquisite soul tool from his pocket and tapped its surface three times with his finger. A beam of blue light shot out, condensing into a clear image in the air—the scene of their battle with Huo Yuhao.

As light and shadow intertwined, Qian Gu Zhangting's brows gradually furrowed. His amber pupils contracted slightly in sync with Huo Yuhao's movements in the scene, and his knuckles involuntarily straightened.

When the images finally faded away, the training room fell into silence, with only the aftershocks of soul power creating a faint hum on the walls.

After a long silence, Qian Gu Zhangting finally let out a slow breath. The golden light in his eyes gradually faded, returning to its unfathomable darkness. "He's stronger than I imagined. But I still don't think he deserves that assessment. Let's wait until he passes the candidate Spirit Transmission Envoy assessment."

As soon as he finished speaking, he closed his eyes again, like a statue in deep meditation. The soul power in the cultivation room began to circulate again, forming a faint halo around him.

But his calm expression lasted only a moment.

The door to the training room slid open silently once more, and a tall, slender figure stepped into the room. The newcomer moved with light steps, yet carried an undeniable presence; even the air seemed to freeze slightly at his arrival.

"Qian Gu Zhang Ting, come and fight!"

Ji Wufeng pointed his sword directly at the Ancient Pavilion, his eyes shining.

He urgently needs someone to verify his understanding and gains. Someone too weak won't do. Those who were defeated by Huo Yuhao are not in his consideration. Only the candidate Spirit Transmission Envoy is suitable.

Qian Gu Zhangting: "..."

He glanced at Qian Gu Jue Chen, and a string of curses popped into his head.

So you're the one who brought him in?
He was certain that Ji Wufeng had seen Qian Gu Juechen walk in before he followed!
Qian Gu Zhangting calmed himself and said coldly, "Your cultivation is far inferior to mine, and we've fought many times over the years, you..." "Boom!"

Before he could finish speaking, the door to the training room was kicked open again, and a group of law enforcement team members stumbled in, their faces showing expressions that said, "We tried to stop them, but we couldn't."

"Lord Zhangting!" The leading enforcement officer wiped his sweat and said awkwardly, "Ji Wufeng committed an act within the enforcement team's jurisdiction. According to the rules, he should be placed in solitary confinement, but he said..."

"What did you say?" Qian Gu Zhangting's temples throbbed.

He said he needed to process his insights through combat, and that he would come with us after the battle!

Qian Gu Zhangting: "..."

What kind of reason is that? You just believe it like that?

Just drag it away!

But considering that Ji Wufeng was a member of the Ji family, Qian Gu Zhangting understood somewhat.

Those in the Ji family who practice swordsmanship are indeed people of their word.

Ji Wufeng nodded in agreement: "That's right, I'll go to solitary confinement after the beating, and I won't resist."

Qian Gu Zhangting's forehead veins bulged, and he finally couldn't bear it any longer, standing up with a cold face.

"Walk."

Ji Wufeng followed, glanced at the coiled dragon staff in his hand, and said bluntly, "Your staff spirit is no good, there's been no progress."

He could tell at a glance that Qian Gu Zhangting was practicing his staff spirit.

Well, when the three realms of intention, soul, and spirit are applied to a staff, they naturally become staff intention, staff soul, and staff spirit.

In response, some people have secretly commented that the last realm would sound better if it were reversed.

"Hmph," Qian Gu Zhangting said coldly, "Do you think that just because you entered this realm first, you are necessarily stronger than me?"

“You learned this skill during your battle with me, using the same method as me, so I can naturally tell.”

"Shut up, I'll go further than you!"

As Qian Gu Jue Chen listened to the conversation between the two people in front of him, his expression gradually became blank.

Wait a minute, did Brother Zhangting learn his staff spirit from Ji Wufeng?
The Ji family's understanding of swordsmanship is different from that of ordinary people. If he continues down this path... will he spend his whole life with the Panlong Staff?
Qian Gu Juechen's face twitched as he watched Qian Gu Zhangting carrying the Panlong Staff and Ji Wufeng wielding the longsword.

……

Huo Yuhao left the tower master's room and glanced back at the door.

"The research into the source requires an enormous amount of rare metals, which must be related to the higher-ups. Since it has nothing to do with you, Di Tian, ​​or Leng Yaozhu, it can only be him. What do you think his purpose is?"

"I don't know. He did want to act in a high-profile manner for a period of time in his early years, but he eventually gave up."

The Snow Empress frowned in her spiritual sea, "Restarting the research on the Source should be beneficial to the Spirit Pagoda in the long run, right?"

"That's true in the long run, otherwise I would have already told you to stop."

Huo Yuhao pondered for a moment and said, "Leave the research on the source to me from now on. You don't know much about this. I'll have to send someone to keep an eye on the Ancient Clan's actions."

The impression left by the ancient clan's bombing of Shrek Academy in conjunction with the Holy Spirit Cult is too deep, making it somewhat difficult for him to trust them directly.

But he was not going to judge the people personally. He hadn't seen the full picture of the Qian Gu Clan yet, so he couldn't draw conclusions based on his impressions.

While pondering, Huo Yuhao, guided by the staff, arrived in a world filled with metal. The metal door opened, and he strode in, where he would face the most rigorous test of the Spirit Pagoda.

Also tonight, news of the birth of the youngest candidate Spirit Master in history began to circulate throughout the Spirit Tower headquarters.
