Douluo Continent: A Fallen Immortal Descends to Earth, Slaying Gods with a Drunken Sword

Chapter 136 The Conflict Between Angelic Authority and Papal Power, Team Rankings
Dusk was falling.

The Heaven Dou Empire's forces finally arrived at Wuhun City.

Li Zhexian and the others gazed at the scene from afar, their hearts filled with profound awe.

Considering only the size of the city.

Martial Soul City is not even one-tenth or one-twelfth as good as Heaven Dou Imperial City.

But in terms of visual impact...

The Heavenly Dou Imperial City is far inferior.

If we say that Tiandou City represents the pinnacle of human architecture...

That Wuhun City was a corner of land seized from Tianque.

The city is made of pure white granite, with reliefs of angel feathers engraved on every brick. The feathers shimmer with a golden halo in the setting sun.

The entire city wall was not fortified.

It silently proclaimed the fearlessness and transcendence of Wuhun City.

"hiss……"

They arrived at the city gate.

Yu Feng gasped.

Staring at the guards at the city gate, who were wearing Soul Master robes.

"Soul Emperor?!"

The guard had six feather patterns embroidered on his chest.

A Soul Emperor, who is qualified to be an academy instructor, is merely a gatekeeper here.

Ever since we got close to Wuhun City.

The angelic feathers inside Li Zhexian's robes radiated warmth.

He said softly:

"This is the Spirit Hall, which gathers more than 80% of the soul masters on the continent."

The envoys from Wuhun City were responsible for receiving them.

The group headed towards their lodgings in the residential area.

Inside the city.

The streets are wide.

Pedestrians were everywhere.

The shops on both sides are neatly arranged.

Li Zhexian's gaze swept over.

It was discovered that eight or nine out of ten items for sale were related to Soul Masters.

What's even more surprising is...

Pedestrians coming and going on the street, and even street vendors setting up stalls on the roadside.

They were all faintly radiating soul power fluctuations, indicating they were all Soul Masters of level ten or above.

and.

Everywhere the eye can see.

Whether it's the lintels of shops, the eaves of houses, or even the walls of passing carriages, all are engraved with the same angel feather emblem as the reliefs on the city walls.

Compared to the bustling, everyday life of Tiandou City.

The Spirit City has lost some of its mundane liveliness, but gained more of the solemnity befitting a sacred land of spirit masters.

Li Zhexian felt this particularly deeply…

This is not just a city, but a holy city that combines the divine authority of angels and the authority of the Pope.

I just don’t know…

In this holy city...

Is it the belief in angels that is more deeply rooted in people's hearts?
Or perhaps the reverence for His Holiness the Pope outweighs it all?
"Look over there!"

Yu Feng's voice, filled with amazement, pointed towards the center of the city.

Everyone followed the sound.

Suddenly, a mountain peak rose abruptly from the ground in the center of the city.

The summit is hidden in a sea of ​​orange-gold clouds, making it difficult to see its true appearance.

Beneath the clouds and mist, a majestic temple stands, shining brightly in the twilight.

The guide straightened his back, his tone full of pride:

"That is the Papal Palace!"

"Where does His Holiness the Supreme Pope reside!"

He paused.

His eyes revealed envy and longing.

"The final battle to determine the top three in the Soul Master Competition will be held in the square in front of the Papal Palace!"

"Even His Holiness the Pope will be there to watch the battle!"

……

After arriving at the accommodation area.

Everyone felt exhausted from the journey and had no desire to continue sightseeing, so they rested early.

The day before the final.

Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, Yu Tianheng, and the other seven members, along with members of several teams including Chi Huo and Shen Feng, all felt the pressure of an impending storm and chose to retreat into seclusion to cultivate their strength.

Only Li Zhexian and Xue Qinghe.

Still strolling leisurely through the streets of Wuhun City.

At least……

At this sensitive moment.

The Spirit Hall wouldn't go so far as to openly attack Li Zhexian within the city.

The two strolled along leisurely.

I tried many of the snacks that were supposedly exclusively for Soul Masters in Wuhun City.

"Bah!"

Li Zhexian frowned.

He spat out the pastry that he claimed could enhance soul power with a look of disgust.

"Tasteless and bland!"

"It's nowhere near as good as donkey rolling!"

"When it comes to delicious food, Wuhun City can't even come close to Tiandou City!" Xue Qinghe nodded in agreement.

The two turned a street corner.

Suddenly, the street ahead was filled with the noise of people.

A group of Soul Masters disregarded their status and dignity, and crowded together towards one place.

Li Zhexian and Xue Qinghe exchanged a glance and walked over with great interest.

Squeeze closer.

Only then did I realize that it was a soul-guided light curtain suspended in mid-air.

The information of all the participating teams was clearly listed above.

It also indicates the support rate of the Soul Masters of Wuhun City for each team.

Unsurprisingly.

With home advantage and the strongest team on paper, the Spirit Hall team is at the top of the list.

The number of votes was so high.

It almost completely overwhelmed the combined total of all the teams that followed.

To Li Zhexian's slight surprise, the team ranked second was Shrek Team.

Royal Fighting Team and Star Luo Team ranked third and fourth respectively.

Then came Kamikaze, Blazing Fire, and so on.

"Who ranked these places?!"

Xue Qinghe frowned, his tone displeased.

Li Zhexian didn't care; he just smiled and listened to the discussions of the surrounding Soul Masters.

"Shrek? What's their background? How can they possibly overpower Royal Fighting and Star Luo?"

"Tsk tsk, you're so ignorant! Shrek Academy has a guy named Tang San, who's said to be the second person in history to possess twin martial souls!"

"Putting everything else aside, I heard that the Royal Fighting Team has been reinforced by a genius named Jianjiu. Jianjiu is a household name in Tiandou City!"

"This is Spirit City, the name of Heaven Fighting City is useless here! The Royal Fighting Team was ranked too high, but they were swept and crippled by the Golden Generation before the competition even started. Let's deal with the Star Luo Team first!"

"I heard that Sword Wine wants to avenge his teammates against the Golden Generation? Heh, let's see what he's capable of..."

"The Soul Masters of Wuhun City are quite arrogant."

Li Zhexian greeted Xue Qinghe, whose face was pale.

"gone."

along the way.

Xue Qinghe pursed her lips.

They were clearly still concerned about the controversy surrounding the Sword Wine among the Soul Masters of Wuhun City.

Li Zhexian reached out and put his arm around her neck, and laughed:

"I don't care."

"Why are you still angry?"

Xue Qinghe's cheeks flushed, and she whispered:
"I can't stand what others say about you."

Li Zhexian waved his hand.

"Just fight back with strength."

That's what they said.

Li Zhexian paused.

The smile on his face gradually faded, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

Like a sword that has been hidden for a long time suddenly drawn from its sheath.

"The Spirit Hall attacked me twice and three times."

"Sister Dugu and Lingling were also humiliated by the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall because of me."

"Since I've risked my life to come to Wuhun City..."

"How can I be satisfied without retaliating in kind?"

For the Elite Competition of Advanced Soul Master Academies on the Mainland.

Wuhun City specially set aside a dedicated area.

This site is located at the foot of that majestic mountain in the center of the city.

The arena has a diameter of over 100 meters.

It was built entirely from black rock.

It is reinforced with the most advanced soul tools.

The arena is strong enough to withstand attacks from Soul Emperor-level Soul Masters without damage.

Around the ring.

The audience seats were layered and stacked.

The seats were already packed early on.

Early morning, around 5:00 AM.

All participating college teams had already arrived at the competition venue.

Team rest area.

Hearing the deafening roar of shouts outside, Li Zhexian looked at Yu Feng beside him and said:

"nervous?"

Yu Feng shook his head.

"not nervous."

"Your hands were shaking so much that you spilled water all over me."

Yu Feng forced out a smile that looked more like a grimace.

It's not just about riding the wind.

Even Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan looked uneasy.

The atmosphere of the finals was completely different from that of the qualifiers.

not to mention.

Royal Fighting Team didn't even participate in the qualifiers...
