Douluo: What the hell is the academic master development system?

Chapter 667 Rumors Spread in Sun and Moon City

"How vicious the Holy Spirit Cult is!"

Huo Yuhao's spirit fluctuated slightly. Taking advantage of his mental detection state, he spoke to Chen Ping inside the carriage, while the Soul Master who was competing with him was completely unaware of this.

Chen Ping was at a loss for words. Although the Mingdu explosion was also orchestrated by Huo Yuhao, in the original timeline, you killed more people than 99% of the evil soul masters.

However, this conversation between Ming Lei Douluo and Tian Wu Douluo made Chen Ping realize that the Holy Spirit Sect actually had a huge shortage of materials needed for the cultivation of evil soul masters, such as vengeful spirits and flesh and blood.

Even if it weren't for the Mingdu explosion, the biggest point of conflict between Xu Tianran and the Holy Spirit Cult would probably have been right here.

Cooperating with the Holy Spirit Church is inherently akin to seeking help from a tiger.

Originally, with the Mingdu explosion, these evil spirit masters of the Holy Spirit Cult were all fed up, listening to Xu Tianran paint a rosy picture for them, saying that they should have a long-term vision, and that after unifying the continent, the people in every major city could be treated as inexhaustible food. He said that the most important thing at this stage was to work together, and so on.

But now Chen Ping has taken all sixteen level-nine fixed shells that detonated, and the matter of one of them destroying half of Mingdu is still unresolved. The entire Holy Spirit Cult organization, from top to bottom, is starving, and all that's left in their heads is an extremely short-sighted cash-and-get mentality!
Don't talk about how many people, how many blood-feeding vengeful spirits, or how many living beings will be raised in the future. The Holy Spirit Cult is a powder keg that could explode at any moment.

Even with the leaders and elders above them keeping them in check, the participating team members still committed numerous murders during the competition due to the characteristics of their martial souls.

Take Chu Sheng, whom Chen Ping killed before, for example. Given Chu Sheng's martial spirit state, could he have stopped killing just because he didn't want to?

It's hard to say what the Holy Spirit Cult might do if they don't get what they want soon.

After all, the reason they chose to cooperate with Xu Tianran was to be able to walk openly and honestly in the world, and to regard everyone in the world as resources for their cultivation. If Xu Tianran does not launch a war for a long time, the Holy Spirit Cult may really start to fall into chaos in private!
Pulled by wildebeest, the carriage sped away at full speed and soon left Mingdu.

As the leader of the three major underground forces, the Xishui Alliance naturally didn't care about causing trouble or riding recklessly, and they charged ahead with impunity.

Ordinary people would absolutely avoid them at all costs if they saw the markings on their carriages.

Chen Ping slowly closed his eyes, no longer paying attention to the conversation between the two evil soul master elders, but focusing his attention elsewhere, methodically making arrangements through the threads between their souls.

After a long period of consultation among Zhang Lexuan, Vina, and the other two parties, a new plan targeting the Sun and Moon Palace has gradually taken shape.

What he had to do was seize this opportunity and raid the armory not far from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Before long, the entire caravan had arrived at the western outskirts of Mingdu, about five miles away.

Chen Ping opened his closed eyes at the opportune moment.

At this moment, several thousand people had gathered in the western suburbs, clearly divided into three distinct groups, from which it was easy to distinguish three different forces.

"My lords, we have arrived," Chen An whispered from outside the carriage.

Seeing the three of them step off the carriage, he whispered again, "Young Master Kun, the top leaders of the three major forces have all arrived today. You see, the one in white is from the Aodu Chamber of Commerce, and the one in yellow represents the Pingfan Alliance."

"Besides the three of us, the most prestigious families in Mingdu and a group of high-rollers will also personally participate in this final match." "According to the requirements, each of our three factions may not send more than one thousand members. The rest are these spectators."

After a brief introduction, the three of them, guided by Chen An and guarded by a group of burly men in black from the Xi Shui Alliance, walked inside.

The site in the western suburbs was not exactly rudimentary. The perimeter was surrounded by forces from the three major underground factions, who had completely enclosed the area, which was over ten thousand square meters. Further away, members of the three factions blocked the roads, preventing ordinary pedestrians from approaching.

Inside, there were already tiered viewing platforms arranged in concentric circles. The viewing platforms were also divided into three areas, where gamblers who had placed bets on the three major forces sat.

Inside these tiered platforms, there are also viewing platforms arranged in a circle. These viewing platforms are closest to the core area. This is the viewing area for the renowned nobles and famous Soul Masters and Soul Instructors that Chen An mentioned.

What's most surprising is the competition venue.

If Huo Yuhao and He Caitou were to evaluate this circular platform, it would be practically a carbon copy of the platform used in the Continental Elite Youth Advanced Soul Master Tournament. It's over a hundred meters in diameter, and appears to be surrounded by a soul-guiding shield.

Chen Ping and the others were led to the rest area of ​​the Xi Shui Alliance, where Nangong Wan and the Third Elder also sat down.

The atmosphere was somewhat noisy, with the audience chatting amongst themselves, discussing their favorite players and teams.

Under the bright illumination of the soul-guiding lamps, the venue was as bright as day, without any trace of night.

At this point, the scene was somewhat noisy, and there was no one to warm up the crowd before the competition began.

Those seated in the audience and VIP sections were chatting, and the arena was well-lit under the bright soul-guided lamps. These high-ceilinged soul-guided lamps provided ample light.

In the rest area, Ming Lei Douluo asked Nangong Wan in a low voice, "Second Brother, it is said that they have invited a level nine soul master to oversee the event this time. Three of the seven judges are on their side, while we only have two, and the other two are neutral. Will there be any problems?"

Nangong Wan sneered: "Don't worry, the vice sect leader will bring my eldest brother and the fourth, fifth and sixth brothers. Can they turn the world upside down? If they're not strong enough, nothing will work."

"If it weren't for the sake of the royal family, how could these two little brats be qualified to be ranked alongside us?"

Just as Nangong Wan and Ming Lei Douluo were talking, a host named Lu Qi appeared on the stage and was giving a rather pointless opening speech.

Upon hearing this, Chen Ping's heart stirred slightly. Was the Holy Spirit Cult really going to send six or seven Title Douluos at once for this competition?

This means Xu Tianran will have even fewer people he can rely on at the palace. In addition, given the rumors they've spread in the city amidst the panic these past few days, tonight's event is likely to be quite lively.

As for what rumors Xu Jiujiu and Vina spread?

That was naturally the rumor that Xu Tianran had mobilized more than six Soul Master Corps to besiege Mingdu.
