Douluo: Yu Hao Pan Tang San

Chapter 423, Section 442: The Tribute from the Body Sect
"You mean?" Gu Rong asked in surprise.

“We can use this opportunity to curry favor with the future God Tang San and help him get rid of Yu Xiaogang, this nuisance!” Ning Fengzhi said.

Gu Rong and Chen Xin nodded and said, "I see."

"However—" Ning Fengzhi changed the subject, saying, "The various forces present are all intelligent people. Why did the three upper sects and two great empires remain silent when Gangzi, that pig, was acting recklessly at the Alliance Conference? The reason is actually quite simple. Everyone understood the relationship between this master and disciple. Since that's the case, why not let him act recklessly and wait for the future, then use his head to curry favor with this future god?"

“That’s why, Gu Rong, it’s a good job to pass on your skills to Gangzi. You can take this opportunity to get close to Yu Xiaogang so that when Tang San becomes a god and returns, you can be the one to cause trouble, break this saga, and persuade the god to put aside the bond between master and disciple and enforce the law impartially.” Ning Fengzhi said, “I believe that if we accomplish what the god wants to accomplish, the god will not shortchange us on the benefits we deserve.”

“Alright, Sect Master, for the sake of the sect’s future, what’s wrong with me, Gu Rong, passing on my cultivation techniques to that pig?” Gu Rong said.

"Old bones, I'm sorry to have wronged you," Chen Xin said, patting Gu Rong on the shoulder.

Ontology

Huo Qiqiang sat in the position of sect leader, flanked by elders of the Body Sect. After so many years of development, the Body Sect now has dozens of Title Douluo-level beings. The envoy of the alliance stood in the center of the two rows.

These envoys were dispatched by Yu Xiaogang to various families to inventory cultivation resources, collect the resource contributions required by the alliance, and identify potential Soul Masters.

"So, does Yu Xiaogang hope that our Body Sect will contribute two thousand potential Body Martial Soul Masters to the Alliance for his personal guidance?" Huo Qiqiang said.

“Yes,” the Alliance envoy said.

Another envoy from the alliance said, "In addition, we also need to take stock of the resources of the Body Sect in order to facilitate the collection of the resource contributions that the Body Sect should hand over."

"We want resource contributions and potential Soul Masters," Huo Qiqiang hinted to Xiao Zhi, who was standing to the side.

Xiao Zhi understood and went straight to the two alliance envoys. Suddenly, a cold light flashed, and the head of one of the alliance envoys was cut off. Blood gushed from his neck, and he fell down. Xiao Zhi grabbed the head of the alliance envoy.

"Ah—" another alliance envoy knelt on the ground in terror: "No, don't kill me, don't kill me!"

Holding the severed head, Xiao Zhi said to the Alliance envoy, "Don't worry, I won't kill you."

As he spoke, he handed the severed head to the messenger.

Huo Qiqiang said, "This is our contribution to the Alliance. If Gangzi is not satisfied after we go back and wants more contributions and potential Soul Masters, then let him come to the Body Sect and ask me for them."

"Yes, yes, yes, yes." The Alliance envoy nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Then get out of here right now!"

So, as if granted a pardon, he carried the severed head and ran away.

Gangzi's envoys, sent out to collect resources, successfully gathered resources from various families.

As for Gangzi's demands, there's a saying that "where there's a policy, there's a countermeasure." Various forces reduced their contributions by concealing information and transferring assets. However, the resources collected from these forces piled up in the alliance headquarters, amounting to a massive amount of data.

The troops collected from various feudal forces were reorganized by Yu Xiaogang's officers into an army directly under his command, called the "Gang Family Army." Why not the Yu Family Army? It's quite simple: after awakening his martial spirit at the age of six, Yu Xiaogang suffered humiliation from his family. Now that he has prospered, he doesn't want his reputation to be tainted by his family in the slightest.

On the Alliance training ground, under the scorching sun, the promising soul masters from various soul master families were required by Yu Xiaogang to run while carrying stones. The runners, drenched in sweat, could persevere, even for beast soul masters with strong physical abilities, but for some support-type soul masters, it was a matter of life and death.

Yu Xiaogang stood in the shade, drinking his iced plum soup, and scolded, "Hurry up, hurry up! How will you become strong if you're this slow?"

Suddenly, a support-type Soul Master collapsed and later died despite all efforts to save him.

The Soul Masters of the Alliance protested against Yu Xiaogang's running training method.

"Leader, I protest! Why is there no mimicry training room?"

"Leader, is running to the point of death really effective?"

Faced with their protests, Yu Xiaogang was furious. Within the alliance, he would never allow his authority to be questioned, especially in his professional field. He angrily rebuked them, "What do you know? I am a renowned teacher who has trained gods. Don't question my professional training methods. I am tapping into your potential. As for the person who died from exhaustion, he can only blame himself for being useless. Come on, deal with these troublemakers."

As a result, the questioning of Yu Xiaogang's teaching methods was suppressed.

After inspecting his Gang Family Army and providing crucial guidance on the training of Alliance Soul Masters, Yu Xiaogang then inspected the cultivation resources collected from various Soul Master sects and families within the Alliance.

Although the various forces outwardly complied while inwardly resisting, the resources they collected still piled up to overflowing.

Gangzi nodded in satisfaction, then, as if remembering something, said:

"By the way, how's the acquisition going with the Body Sect? That's the number one sect in the world. With great power comes great responsibility, and the Body Sect has to shoulder even more responsibility."

The alliance diplomat next to Yu Xiaogang said obsequiously, "Alliance Leader Xiaogang, the alliance envoys are still on their way back. With your prestige as the Master of Gods, how could the Body Sect dare to disobey your will? I think they should have already returned with a full load."

"Hmm." Yu Xiaogang was quite pleased with the flattery from the Alliance diplomats.

After a while, an alliance official rushed up to Yu Xiaogang and said, "Reporting, Alliance Leader Xiaogang, the envoy sent to the Body Sect has returned."

Yu Xiaogang hurriedly went to the Hall of Gathering Righteousness. He sat in the position of the leader of the alliance, but only saw a pale-faced messenger holding a brocade box in his hands.

"Why are you the only one here? What are you holding in your hands?" Yu Xiaogang asked, puzzled.

"Alliance Leader, this, this, this is..."

"Bring me the brocade box." Yu Xiaogang had a bad feeling about this, so he gave the order.

When the brocade box was presented, Yu Xiaogang opened it with a puzzled expression. Inside the box, a head was staring at Yu Xiaogang with its eyes wide open.

Gangzi's mind went blank for a moment, then he let out a scream. He was so frightened that he collapsed on the gilded chair, soiling himself and excreting urine. Instantly, the entire Alliance Gathering Hall was filled with a stench and a foul smell!
