Douluo: The Holy Radiance of the Dragon King

Chapter 315 The Wind Rises Again: Congratulations to Emperor Sword Douluo for succeeding Guan Yue, Long Tianwu: You guys have really made my life miserable...

The three days that Feng Zaixing gave them passed in the blink of an eye.

When he stepped into the Temple of War Gods once again, he found that two more of the official War Gods who had studied at Shrek Academy were gone, and several prospective War Gods had chosen to leave.

"Very good. Since you have all followed your own heart, then you all have no regrets about your choices?"

Sitting on the throne of the Temple of War God, Feng Zaixing's gaze swept over the familiar faces, and he asked with a smile.

Of the six War Gods from Shrek Academy, one betrayed them in public, and two left. This ratio is astonishing.

The three remaining War Gods in the Temple of War had their eyes darting around, deliberately avoiding Feng Zaixing's rather oppressive gaze.

However, their new temple master's spiritual power had already reached the Divine Origin Realm. With a single thought, he could conceal heavenly secrets and trigger celestial phenomena. Coupled with his youthful vigor and unwillingness to hide his abilities, his combat power far surpassed that of the old temple master.

The faint golden light of the lustrous gem swirled in his eyes, and the three war gods' defenses seemed to crumble completely, as if they could not conceal any secrets.

"I dared not hide it from the Palace Master. In fact, I had been hesitant for a long time. This was a choice made after weighing the pros and cons."

Soon, the lowest-ranked War God couldn't withstand the pressure from the unseen forces and said this to Feng Zaixing.

With their comrades fallen, the remaining two war gods could no longer hold out and said, "That's what we thought too."

Feng Zaixing smiled kindly and nodded, saying, "It's good to be frank. Since you've made yourselves clear, I won't hold it against you: I won't let you participate in the war against the Star Luo Empire. Your only duty from now on is to protect the continent."

The three breathed a sigh of relief, large drops of sweat dripping from their foreheads. They all showed joy and clasped their hands in thanks, saying, "Thank you, Lord Palace Master!"

""

Feng Zaixing nodded slightly.

After calming the three down, he stood up and looked at Long Tianwu, saying gently, "Uncle Long, it seems you have something to tell me?"

From the moment he entered, he saw that Long Tianwu had a complicated expression, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Long Tianwu smiled with relief and said, "As expected, I couldn't hide it from your eyes. Yes, Vice Prince Guan—Guan Yue asked me to pass on some messages to you."

A glint flashed in Feng Zaixing's eyes. "Guan Yue? It seems he has chosen to leave?"

The fact that Long Tianwu spoke so hesitantly meant that Guan Yue had undoubtedly left; as the deputy hall master who had been stationed at the headquarters of the War God Hall for many years, all the old War Gods of the War God Hall held him in high esteem.

As expected, the moment Feng Zaixing asked his question, all the war gods changed color and fell silent.

Long Tianwu smiled bitterly, knowing that nothing could be hidden from Feng Zaixing, and replied, "Yes, Vice Hall Master Guan thought about it at home for two days and two nights, and finally chose to leave the War God Hall and go to the Star Luo Empire."

He said that he joined the Temple of War Gods because of the great kindness of Temple Master Chen. Now that Temple Master Chen has retired and the Temple of War Gods has welcomed a new and powerful leader, he should also retire gracefully and give up the position of deputy temple master.

Feng Zaixing's gaze remained calm: "That's not all, is it?"

Shi Mengshan, being younger, didn't hold Guan Yue in the same high esteem as the other War Gods. She chimed in, "Of course not. Yue Tian Douluo said that Shrek Academy is indeed his second hometown. For many years, he has been preoccupied with other matters, and now he can finally put down his burdens and leave."

"Since the new temple master ultimately cannot tolerate the Shrek disciples, then he can leave Douluo Continent with a clear conscience now."

After he finished speaking, the air fell silent.

The War Gods knew that Guan Yue, with his usually gentle nature, was extremely angry to say such a thing, which must have been deeply irritating to him by the tragic fate of the Shen family and the Thirteen War Gods.

However, what puzzled them was that the new temple master, Feng Zaixing, remained indifferent upon hearing these words, even yawning occasionally, as if he didn't care at all.

"Let him go then. It's a pity he didn't tell me beforehand, otherwise I would have at least given him a farewell ceremony."

Seeing the disbelief in everyone's eyes, Feng Zaixing couldn't help but think that his ruthless killing had indeed damaged his reputation. He spread his hands helplessly and said, "I admit that I was decisive, and perhaps unspeakable things will happen on the battlefield in the future; but I would never stoop to using underhanded tactics at a farewell ceremony. Otherwise, do you think I, Feng, don't care about my reputation?"

"You can criticize me behind my back for being ruthless and cruel, but I don't like to play dirty tricks; I prefer to use fair and square strategies."

"If I really wanted to take action against Guan Yue, why would I need to resort to such underhanded tactics?"

The war gods were taken aback by what they heard. They never expected Feng Zaixing to be so "open and honest". But upon closer inspection, although their new temple master was indeed a ruthless character, he didn't seem to be involved in any underhanded schemes.

For years, his style of causing trouble has always been to lead a group of people to attack his door in a head-on manner. If he were willing to do some secretive tricks in the dark, his fearsome reputation wouldn't be so widespread.

Feng Zaixing looked around at everyone and said earnestly, "Don't think that conspiracies and tricks are good things. Let me tell you, when you cultivate to my level, you must pursue a kind of open-mindedness that unites knowledge and action."

"First, one must pursue integrity in conduct, and second, integrity in heart; one must be true to one's own thoughts in order to align with one's martial spirit and pursue the Great Dao. Even for a soul master with dark attributes, there is more than one path to take than the cold and desolate one."

"These are my sincere words, whether you listen to them or not is up to you; but do not regard me as a petty person who only knows how to use underhanded tricks; that is the eternal East Wind, not my Feng Zaixing. I, Feng, act decisively, how can I be equated with a treacherous person?"

Everyone burst into laughter, saying, "Of course we know that Saint Douluo is not comparable to the Eternal East Wind."

As everyone knows, the title of the successive tower masters of the Spirit Pagoda was "Spirit Transmission". Now that Qian Gu Dongfeng has been dismissed and imprisoned, no one knows what his current title is.

The banter and lighthearted banter lightened the atmosphere inside the Temple of War.

Once the atmosphere had completely calmed down, Feng Zaixing stretched out his hands in a gesture of suffocation and said, "Vice Hall Master Guan has resigned, and his position needs to be filled. What do you all think?"

Long Tianwu and Luo Yuhang exchanged a glance and immediately stated, "It is only right that another expert be selected from within the War God Hall to succeed him; and the current number one War God of the War God Hall is your senior brother, the Golden Body Douluo."

"Back then, the Golden Body Douluo fought hundreds of rounds with Vice Hall Master Guan in the War God Arena to a draw, so he was definitely qualified to take over Vice Hall Master Guan's position."

When Aruheng was mentioned, all the war gods showed admiration in their eyes.

Aruheng, who was at level 98, once fought Guan Yue to such an extent. Now that Aruheng has broken through to the Limit Douluo level, what will he be like?

Feng Zaixing was well aware of his senior brother's abilities, but upon hearing this suggestion, he smiled wryly and said, "However, my senior brother claims that he is not good at managing affairs, which will disappoint everyone."

In fact, when Feng Zaixing asked Aruheng for his opinion, Aruheng’s original words were, “Among the three hall masters of the War God Hall, it is enough to have you as the hall master. If I go up there, it will be too conspicuous.”

Upon closer examination, Feng Zaixing realized that this made perfect sense. It was truly disgraceful to bring up one's own people right after forcing Guan Yue away.

Therefore, he turned his gaze directly to Long Tianwu and said, "Uncle Long, you are a veteran of the War God Hall and possess a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. You should be the one to succeed as the Vice Hall Master."

Upon hearing this, Long Tianwu quickly waved her hand, refusing decisively: "But I am not as strong as your senior brother, so I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to convince everyone—"

"Senior brother is magnanimous; why would he care about such things? And how dare the other War Gods disobey you?"

Feng Zaixing shook his head, his expression resolute, and said, "As for cultivation level, there's not much to say; you're in your prime, why worry about not being able to break through to quasi-god? You've already been accumulating experience at the peak of demigod for some time, haven't you?"

Upon hearing this, Long Tianwu knew that the other party's offer to elevate her to a higher level was no empty promise, and she felt an indescribable surge of excitement. She humbly replied, "It's all thanks to the Ancient Tree of Life. I've been cultivating under the Ancient Tree of Life for the past few years, which has helped me accumulate realms more quickly."

He knew his own situation best. His talent for cultivation wasn't among the top tier. He would have been content to become a demigod in this lifetime, and a quasi-god was out of the question. It was only when Feng Zaixing took him to Shrek City and caused a ruckus that his swordsmanship broke through and his cultivation level greatly improved.

Looking back, it seems like it was already ten years ago? Time is merciless, it goes by so fast.

"Your path to becoming a king in swordsmanship should be one of overwhelming power and dominance, not one of losing your edge."

Feng Zaixing smiled and pointed to the throne behind him, saying, "An Emperor Sword Douluo should possess the mindset of a sword cultivator who reigns supreme over the world. Only in this way can one reach even greater heights and become a quasi-god. Therefore, you must sit in this position of deputy hall master—"

Oh, by the way, I've never been a pure swordsman.

Long Tianwu wanted to say more, but Feng Zaixing lightly swept over and led her directly to her seat, pressing her down to sit. Then, Feng Zaixing took the lead, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and loudly proclaimed, "Congratulations to Emperor Sword Douluo on assuming the position of Vice Hall Master of the War God Hall!"

Aruheng strode in from outside, his voice booming like a bell, instantly invigorating everyone: "Congratulations to Emperor Sword Douluo on assuming the position of Vice Hall Master of the War God Hall!"

As soon as the Grandmaster brothers spoke, the experts of the One Heart Society naturally followed suit, saying in unison, "Congratulations to Emperor Sword Douluo on taking over the position of Vice Hall Master of the War God Hall! From now on, the sky is high and the sea is wide, and the prospect of becoming a Quasi-God is within reach!"

Seeing how loud these people's slogans were, the war gods couldn't help but think to themselves that they must have rehearsed several times before.

But this is a good thing. They didn't expect Long Tianwu to rise to power. As expected, the rumors were true. Saint Douluo is ruthless when facing enemies, but he is also absolutely supportive of his own people.

The Second War God of yesteryear rose rapidly to the position of Vice Hall Master thanks to Feng Zaixing's support. Meanwhile, Ao Rui, Hall Master Chen's most trusted confidant, is still in the Blood God Legion, listening to the howling north wind and watching the snowflakes fall.

So the war gods joined the cheerleading squad, completely pinning Long Tianwu to the throne of deputy hall master.

"Congratulations to Emperor Sword Douluo on assuming the position of Vice Hall Master of the War God Hall! From now on, the sky is high and the sea is vast, and the prospect of becoming a Quasi-God is within reach! Assist the Holy Venerable and strengthen our God Hall!"

Seeing this, Long Tianwu could only smile bitterly, "You, you've really made things difficult for me—"

Heaven have mercy, he was originally just an ordinary level 98 Super Douluo, how did he rise all the way to become the Vice Hall Master?

That night, Su Mengjun asked her husband with a smile if he was still dizzy. Long Tianwu sighed and said, "With the position of deputy hall master to cultivate my sword aura, and with the ever-growing ancient tree of life showering down its life-giving light, I have truly seen the existence of the path to quasi-godhood."

"If it weren't for the fact that Zaixing recruited soldiers and came to me back then, I would definitely still be the second War God after Ao Rui. Of course, there's nothing wrong with being the second War God, but the position of Deputy Hall Master is indeed more open and promising for my Emperor Sword Martial Soul and King Sword Path."

Su Mengjun pursed her lips. He put on quite a good act during the day. Men really are all hypocrites.
