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

Chapter 329 The Dark Horse - The Holy Dragon Sect and the Elephant Armor Sect with Two Douluo!

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, a strange light flashed in Wang Zhao's eyes.

Based on his current understanding of the very different "Ning Rongrong," her personality is quite different from the little witch in the early part of the original work, so she shouldn't do such an unreasonable thing.

Could it really be some kind of world-line correcting force? Also, could "Ning Rongrong" be on her way to Shillake Academy right now...?

Wang Zhao thought to himself, and then asked:

"Rongrong is still young, and she's a support-type Soul Master. Sect Leader Ning, aren't you worried that she might encounter some danger while she's out?"

As soon as Wang Zhao said this, before Ning Fengzhi could say anything, Gu Rong, who was walking behind Ning Fengzhi, snorted coldly and said, "Palace Master Wang is joking. How could my sect master not send strong people to secretly follow and protect Rongrong? Besides, Palace Master, don't underestimate Rongrong. She is not so easy to bully."

"Even if things get really bad, there's still me and that old hag. No one in the world has yet been born who could put Rongrong in any danger!"

"yes."

Ning Fengzhi then smiled modestly.

"In short, since Rongrong is determined to leave the greenhouse of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and see the outside world, it is definitely not a bad thing, and I, as her father, will support her."

……

In the blink of an eye, another day and night have passed.

On this bright and sunny day, representatives from the seven newly emerged sects, who had distinguished themselves in yesterday's competition, slowly descended upon the square.

The method for selecting the seven major sects was simple: seven arenas were set up in the square, and those representatives of clan forces who were just there to join in the fun were eliminated in a free-for-all.

Ultimately, the three major powers that survived to the end were, unsurprisingly, the Dragon King Palace, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon School.

Originally, almost everyone present believed that these three forces would become the new top three sects without any surprises, and that the "Number One Sect Under Heaven" would be decided between the Dragon King Palace and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Some people couldn't help but talk about it the night before last, thinking that if nothing unexpected happened, there would probably be two "dragon" patterns on the papal decree in the future, representing the Dragon King Palace and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan respectively. This was truly an unprecedented situation.

However, an unexpected event occurred...

At this moment, the crowd looked at the representative of the other four sects who had emerged victorious from the arena competition and were expected to become the next four sects in the future, their expressions full of complex emotions.

They are from the Elephant Armor Sect, the Black Tiger Sect of the Star Luo Empire, the Wind Sword Sect, and the Holy Dragon Sect!

The Fire Leopard Sect, originally one of the four lower sects, was defeated by the Holy Dragon Sect in the arena competition.

Of course, this is not important. If it were just that the Holy Dragon Sect replaced the Fire Leopard Sect as one of the new four lower sects, the public might be a little surprised, but they wouldn't react much. After all, Tuoba Xi, the sect leader of the Holy Dragon Sect, whose inherited martial soul is the White Armored Earth Dragon, is already hard to beat in the Soul Douluo realm.

But the key point is that Tuoba hope is not just a Contra player.

He's actually a... Titled Dou Luo!

"Whoa!!!"

Heaven knows how stunned the audience was when they witnessed Tuoba hope slowly raise his ninth soul ring, symbolizing the pinnacle of human soul masters and the title of Douluo, and instantly blast all his opponents except for Soul Douluo level opponents off the stage during yesterday's arena match.

A dark horse indeed! The Holy Dragon Sect is a true dark horse! Could it be because they're backed by the Spirit Hall...?

Just as the crowd was speculating, little did they know that there was more than one dark horse in the competition.

Well, the Dragon King Palace's strength is evident to all, so it certainly can't be considered a dark horse...

The other dark horse, which also exceeded everyone's expectations, was—the Elephant Armor Sect!

According to the competition rules, no matter how many people a participating sect brings, a maximum of two representatives can be sent to participate in the free-for-all in the arena. The subsequent ranking competition of the seven major sects is based on points. Each of the seven major sects can still send two representatives, but they will each be matched with representatives from other sects in a 1v1 battle. A win earns one point, while a loss earns no points.

In yesterday's arena competition, the two representatives sent by the Elephant Armor Sect to the arena were Hu Yanzhen and...

Niu Gao!

Indeed, it was Niu Gao, the patriarch of the Yu clan, whose martial spirit was the Plate Armored Giant Rhinoceros.

In the later part of the original work, Hu Yanzhen, the sect leader of the Elephant Armor Sect, originally intended to annex the Yu Clan and form a more powerful Elephant Armor Sect to participate in the sect competition and seize the position of the top three sects. However, his plan was thwarted by a certain scoundrel. In this timeline, not to mention the Yu Clan, the four single-attribute clans that originally relied on the Clear Sky Sect had long been "taken away" by the Spirit Hall.

Therefore, it was not an easy task for the Spirit Hall to instruct the Yu Clan to join the Elephant Armor Sect. Moreover, the merger of these two clans was a perfect match, as it was a powerful alliance. Without any conflicts in the original story, even the clan leader, Niu Gao, readily agreed.

Including the former Holy Dragon Sect Master Tuoba hope, Huyan Zhen, and Niu Gao, they were all given the top-grade Martial Soul Transformation Pills that Wang Zhao brought back to Martial Soul City after Wang Zhao had gained some resources in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Not long after, all three of them reached the Title Douluo realm. It was a pity that these three guys were old trees blossoming, and their cultivation was too fast. They missed the revolution in inner cores and spirit rings. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been impossible for the three of them, who were about to become elders of the Spirit Hall, to absorb a ninth spirit ring of the 100,000-year level through internal connections.

Yesterday, the Elephant Armor Sect sent Hu Yanzhen and Niu Gao, who undoubtedly dominated the arena where no other Title Douluo-level experts appeared. With nine spirit rings rising around them, they quickly and fiercely blasted away their opponents on the arena, occupying one of the seven major sects' seats and causing a sensation throughout the arena.

It's no secret that the Elephant Armor Sect sided with the Spirit Hall long ago. If only the Holy Dragon Sect produced a new Title Douluo, it could be explained as an accident. After all, the White Armor Earth Dragon Spirit, while somewhat inferior to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit, is still quite formidable. But if another Elephant Armor Sect leader, Hu Yanzhen, were to emerge, or even the Yu Clan's patriarch, Niu Gao...

So, there's undoubtedly a big problem here. Where does the problem come from?

Many people, including Ning Fengzhi, Yu Yuanzhen, and Xue Xing, knew the truth, but no one uttered those three words...

Spirit Hall!
