In Douluo Continent, the Pope used me as a substitute for my first love.

Chapter 151 Dragon King's Palace and Hidden Dragon Academy (Part 5)

"Xiaoxue, you understand me best."

Wang Zhao smiled slightly, and then said:

Do you still remember the Hunter Soul Master group?

"A Hunter Soul Master?"

Qian Renxue was stunned for a moment, and then she recalled the scene a few months ago outside the Barren Gold Plain, where many scattered small groups were shouting on the street.

"you mean?"

"That's right."

Wang Zhao nodded slightly.

"I want to organize them into a rather free guild, with the Ancient Dragon Clan or the soon-to-be-established 'Dragon King's Palace' providing support from behind."

"This...isn't easy, is it?"

Qian Renxue hesitated slightly.

"Of course it's not easy."

Wang Zhao did not directly refute, but quickly changed the subject:

"If we are really just an ancient dragon clan that has been living in seclusion in the mountains for a long time, and only have one 'Qianhuang Douluo' and the peerless dragon snake to support us, it would be extremely difficult to subdue the unruly hunter soul master group."

"However, we are not."

"We have a new Title Douluo powerhouse joining us, and the academy we are about to establish will not only serve the majority of the hunter soul master population—commoners—but will also bring them tangible benefits and a bright future. More importantly, the Spirit Hall actually stands behind us!"

"With the Spirit Hall's manpower spread throughout the continent, as long as we create the right opportunity to guide the hunter spirit masters, who have long lacked a suitable and powerful backer, to actively choose the 'Happy' super power, the Dragon King Palace, this matter will not be difficult to accomplish."

"After all, you have to understand that the reason why major forces such as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Spirit Hall have coveted the Hunter Soul Master group for so long but have not made a move is firstly because they have no opportunity, and secondly because they are worried about the balance being broken, so they have unanimously restricted each other; and the Hunter Soul Master group is not as unruly as imagined. After all, they are all human beings, and in the Soul Master world where killing is frequent, they also want to find a backer. However, they do not know who to rely on or how to rely on them. They once intended to select representatives to visit the major super forces, but they were all turned away."

"As for us, as a new super power with strength, foundation, and resources, and with everything waiting to be rebuilt, accepting the Hunter Soul Master group should not be too much of a hindrance. At that time, we only need the Spirit Hall, the only one openly hostile to the Dragon King Palace, to make a show of it, and let the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and those few 'good guys' from the Heaven Dou Empire who love to jump around take some bullets. Everything will then be a matter of course."

Wang Zhao smiled at the end.

"Of course, all of this needs to be done gradually. It's a huge project that will take at least a few years to complete, so there's no rush."

Qian Renxue didn't detect any hidden dangers in the plan, so she nodded and continued to discuss with Wang Zhao some matters concerning the establishment of the Dragon King Palace.

"But what did you mean by 'bullet' just now?"

"This, ha, haha..."

"Xiao Zhao, you're saying strange things again!"

……

About a month later, another month had passed.

During this period, the mainland was incredibly lively, with one exciting event after another, no less so than the appearance of "Holy Hand Dragon Rider" Wang Zhao, whose soul ring configuration was unprecedentedly yellow, purple, black, and black.

First, following the Peerless Dragon and Snake Clan, the once-renowned and powerful Azure Scale Douluo Dugu Bo personally stepped forward to announce that the Dugu Clan had officially joined the Ancient Dragon Clan—no, it should be said that they had joined the Dragon King Palace, which was known as "Ten Thousand Dragons Paying Homage"—and revealed his transformed Azure Scale Golden Eyes "Dragon" Martial Soul.

Secondly, naturally, there was the "Dragon King Palace," a force established by the three major clans of the Ancient Dragon Clan, with the Peerless Dragon and Snake Clan and the Dugu Family as secondary clans, and many sub-dragon and pseudo-dragon spirit masters. Along with it, a new advanced spirit master academy called "Hidden Dragon" under the Dragon King Palace, located in Heaven Dou City, also became famous.

Regarding this, many knowledgeable Soul Masters on the mainland were not surprised. Rather, they would be surprised if the Ancient Dragon Clan, which had already gathered so much powerful strength, had not "fully emerged into the world."

Then, there was the question that many "Dragon Couple" fans were concerned about: whether Wang Zhao and Qian Renxue would continue their trip. Wang Zhao, who hadn't been to the Great Soul Arena in Tian Dou City for a month, announced that the trip was being cancelled for various reasons. In fact, he was conveying that he was going to focus on his career, which disappointed his fans.

However, Wang Zhao stated at the end that his identity as a physician and grand tutor would not change, and he welcomed people from the mainland to come to the Dragon King Palace to seek his medical advice at any time, although whether they could actually meet was another matter; in addition, the "Divine Dragon Couple" would soon hold their final battle match at the Heavenly Battle Arena, and according to insiders, the legendary "Diamond Battle Match" had once again aroused the anticipation of those who were somewhat disappointed.

During this month, various materials concerning Wang Zhao and even the Dragon King's Palace were constantly being placed on the desks of major powers, such as...

The headquarters of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

"Dragon King Palace, Chief Elder Qianhuang Douluo... Second Elder Bilin Douluo... Third Elder Longgong Meng Shu... Fourth Elder, to be determined..."

Ning Fengzhi slowly scanned the documents.

"Beneath the Dragon King's Palace are four main halls, and the Dragon Soul Guild...a guild?"

Ning Fengzhi raised an eyebrow slightly.

"This Dragon King Palace has quite the ambition."

"But so be it. It's better for the Dragon King Palace to take over the big cake than for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to be absorbed by the Spirit Hall and cause the Spirit Hall's influence on the continent to expand further."

Finally, Ning Fengzhi's gaze settled on the top.

"The real power holder of the Dragon King Palace, the Palace Master, the Dragon King Wang Zhao... Is this for real?"

Ning Fengzhi's gaze was somewhat strange.

Although it's highly likely that he, as a support-type Soul Saint, couldn't defeat Wang Zhao, and it's acknowledged that Wang Zhao is mature beyond his years and possesses extraordinary intelligence; however, given his actual age of over fifty, there's no problem with him serving as the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and Wang Zhao's age and seniority are more suitable for leading the Dragon King Palace...

This is clearly inappropriate!

Even putting all that aside, with Wang Zhao's combat strength at most comparable to a Battle Soul Saint, it would be fine for him to serve as the sect leader of an ordinary sect, but he is really not qualified to serve as the head of a powerful force.

Even if the Ancient Dragon Clan wanted to promote this rising star, there was no need for them to be in such a hurry. The position of Palace Master could have been given to Qianhuang Douluo first, and Wang Zhao could be appointed later when he was strong enough...

In the end, Ning Fengzhi shook his head and decided not to think about it for the time being, and summoned a disciple from his sect.

"Go to the Dragon King's Palace headquarters in the east of Tiandou City and deliver an invitation letter..."

However, Ning Fengzhi was unaware that Wang Zhao and Qian Renxue had already quietly left the Heaven Dou Empire and headed to Wuhun City.
