Douluo Dalu II: The Peerless Tang Sect

Chapter 205 Tang Ya: On behalf of the Tang Clan, I forgive the Haotian Sect!

Back at the hotel, Wang Yan gathered everyone in the conference room.

"How did you feel after watching the match between Qianling Academy and Zhengtian Academy?" he asked, looking at Beibei and the other preliminary team members.

"We should be able to guarantee victory against Qianling Academy without having to send Ziyang and the others out!" Beibei said, "Whether it's individual battles, cooperative battles, or team battles."

Beibei spoke firmly, a confident smile on her face. Such a statement surprised those who didn't know the inside story. Looking at Beibei's determined eyes, Zhu Ziyang could vaguely guess the source of Beibei's confidence.

"However, we can't guarantee anything against Zhengtian Academy. We'll need at least one regular team member's help," Xu Sanshi added.

"Tell me, why?" Wang Yan looked surprised and taken aback. He hadn't expected that Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi would have something hidden, so he immediately wanted to know their hidden abilities.

"Hmm!" Bei Bei looked thoughtful, and then said, "Actually, Zi Yang and Nan Nan should know that after they entered the inner courtyard, Xu San Shi and I were internally selected by Dean Yan Shao Zhe as the next generation of Shrek Seven Devils, and will be Zi Yang and Nan Nan's teammates in the next competition."

"I know!" Zhu Ziyang nodded.

Wang Yan was surprised, but then immediately felt a surge of joy. Being directly selected by Dean Yan Shaozhe as the next Shrek Seven Devils meant that Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi possessed abilities that Dean Yan valued highly. He smiled expectantly and said, "Then you must have some special ability that allowed Dean Yan to select you as the next Shrek Seven Devils, right?"

"That's right. The reason why Dean Yan has designated us as the next generation of Shrek Seven Devils is because both BeiBei and I possess bloodline power," Xu Sanshi said.

"Bloodline power? What kind of ability is that?" Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao looked puzzled; it was the first time they had ever heard of such an ability.

"This is related to the origin of martial souls, and it's hard to explain in a short time. Just know that bloodline power can strengthen martial souls and even evolve them." Wang Yan's interest grew stronger. He said, "San Shi, continue."

"Okay, Ziyang and Nannan know that my martial soul was previously the Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shield, but now it is the Xuanwu Shield. This is because I awakened the Xuanwu bloodline of the divine beast in my body through a family secret technique, which caused my martial soul to evolve from the Tortoise Shell Shield to the Xuanwu Shield," Xu Sanshi said.

"The divine beast Xuanwu!" Wang Yan and Ma Xiaotao exclaimed in surprise at the same time, "Are you a successor of the Xuanming Sect?"

"Yes!" Xu Sanshi nodded, then continued, "My bloodline power is the most concentrated in the history of the Xuanming Sect. With my current strength, after fully activating the Xuanwu bloodline, I should be comparable to a newly promoted Soul King. And when my strength reaches the level of a seven-ring Soul Saint, my martial soul will completely evolve into the super beast martial soul Xuanwu. It is for this reason that Dean Yan chose me as the next generation of Shrek Seven Devils!"

"After the seventh ring, it evolves into the Xuanwu Martial Soul!" Wang Yan couldn't help but take a few steps forward, his gaze fixed intently on Xu Sanshi, and said, "The Xuanwu Martial Soul, one of the legendary divine beast Martial Souls, possesses water element control comparable to the ultimate water and ultimate defensive power. Its growth potential even surpasses that of Elder Xuan. No wonder Dean Yan chose it as the next generation of Shrek Seven Devils!"

"Teacher Wang, is Senior Brother Xu's Xuanwu bloodline really that strong?" Wang Dong asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Hmm!" Wang Yan nodded and said, "You all know Elder Xuan, do you know about Elder Xuan's martial spirit?"

"Huh?" Wang Dong was taken aback, then said ambiguously, "It seems to be... something about a divine ox?"

"It's the Taotie Divine Ox!" Huo Yuhao rolled his eyes at Wang Dong and said.

"That's right, Elder Xuan's martial soul is the Taotie Divine Ox, possessing the bloodline of the divine beast Taotie," Wang Yan said. "Taotie, like Xuanwu, is a divine beast from the ancient Douluo Continent. Compared to Xu Sanshi, who had the opportunity to evolve into a true Xuanwu martial soul, Elder Xuan was not so lucky. His martial soul was born as the Taotie Divine Ox, and unless he encounters a heaven-defying opportunity, it is impossible for him to evolve into a true Taotie."

Even so, Elder Xuan still became a level 98 Super Douluo, and even had a chance to become a level 99 Limit Douluo! Now you understand what Xu Sanshi's Xuanwu Martial Soul means!

"Teacher Wang, are you saying that Senior Brother Xu will become a level 99 Limit Douluo in the future? My God!" Xiao Xiao couldn't help but open her mouth wide, her surprise overflowing.

"That's right, as long as he doesn't perish, it's inevitable!" Wang Yan nodded, then said with some emotion, "Speaking of which, quite a few of us have the potential to become Limit Douluo."

Ziyang with his dual ultimate martial souls, Xiaotao with her ultimate fire, and Yuhao with his ultimate ice—they are destined to become Limit Douluo. Nannan, with her Taiyin Jade Rabbit martial soul, and Xu Sanshi with his Xuanwu bloodline, also have an 80% chance of reaching that level. I am truly blessed to witness the rise of such unparalleled geniuses in my lifetime!

"Beibei, you were chosen as one of the next generation of Shrek Seven Devils along with Xu Sanshi, so your bloodline power must be quite formidable, right?"

"Yes!" Beibei nodded in reply, "I possess the bloodline of the Holy Light Dragon. After activating my bloodline, my strength can rival that of a newly promoted Soul King. Similarly, after reaching the seventh ring cultivation level, my Martial Soul will evolve into the Holy Light Dragon."

"The Holy Dragon of Light!" Wang Yan was stunned for a moment, and exclaimed repeatedly, "No wonder! No wonder! So that's how it is!"

Ma Xiaotao and Jiang Nannan looked at Beibei, then at Zhu Ziyang, their eyes questioning. When Zhu Ziyang nodded, the two women understood.

"With the Holy Dragon Martial Soul, Bei Bei has a great chance, no, a certainty, of becoming a level 99 Limit Douluo!" Wang Yan said.

"Teacher Wang, if we follow your logic, wouldn't that be incredibly awkward for us?" Tang Ya said to Wang Yan with a helpless expression.

"Exactly!" Wang Dong said, his face full of indignation. "Why can't I, Sister Xiaoya, Xiao Xiao, and Senior Brother Caitou become Limit Douluos?"

"Although I don't want to discourage you, I must tell you that there is an insurmountable gap between level 98 and level 99. This gap isolates nearly 99% of Super Douluos. To cross this gap, besides obtaining extraordinary fortune, the only way is to rely on one's Martial Soul," Wang Yan said earnestly. "And without exception, all the Limit Douluos who have appeared in the history of the continent possessed powerful Martial Souls that could be called Super Martial Souls! Therefore, a consensus has been reached on the continent that only the most top-tier Martial Souls can make one a Limit Douluo!"

"Isn't this just blind faith in bloodlines?" Tang Ya said. "If that's the case, then aren't we Soul Masters just like Soul Beasts?"

"It may sound dishonorable, but it's an undeniable fact!" Ma Xiaotao said. "Xiaoya, you're from the Tang Sect, don't you understand the function of a Martial Soul?"

"Well... alright, that's true!" Tang Ya sighed in dismay upon hearing this, then looked helplessly at Bei Bei and said, "Bei Bei, when you become a Limit Douluo, you must never forget the Tang Sect!"

"Xiaoya, you really are..." Bei Bei chuckled helplessly, "I'm the senior disciple of the Tang Sect, and besides, what Teacher Wang Yan said isn't absolute. Theoretically, everyone has a chance to become a Limit Douluo!"

"Hehe! You said it yourself, it's just theoretical!" Tang Ya said.

"Teacher Wang, isn't my Goddess of Light Butterfly also very powerful and rare? Why didn't I have a chance to break through to the Limit Douluo level?" Wang Dong said, still full of dissatisfaction.

"Your Light Goddess Butterfly is rare, but it's still far from being a true super martial soul," Wang Yan said, shaking his head.

"Then, the Clear Sky Hammer must be a super martial soul, right?" Wang Dong's face still showed dissatisfaction. He rolled his eyes and blurted out.

"Of course, the Clear Sky Hammer is a super martial soul. After all, there has been more than one Clear Sky Douluo in the history of the continent, and they were all Limit Douluo," Wang Yan explained, completely unaware that something was wrong.

"Wang Dong, why are you asking this? Could it be that you...?" Ma Xiaotao keenly sensed something and asked.

"Hehe! That's right, I come from the Haotian Sect!" Wang Dong proudly raised his head, like a victorious swan, and said.

"Are you from the Haotian Sect?" Tang Ya was taken aback, and unpleasant memories flooded her mind.

"Hey, Teacher Xiaoya, that steward who refused to help the Tang Sect has already been dealt with by the sect, and besides, didn't I join the Tang Sect? So please don't hold a grudge anymore!" Wang Dong reacted quickly and said immediately.

"Alright, considering you took the initiative to join our Tang Sect, I'll forgive the Haotian Sect!" Tang Ya was very generous, representing the Tang Sect, once the number one sect on the continent, in forgiving the Haotian Sect, which was also once the number one sect on the continent.

This scene struck the others in the meeting room as both bizarre and comical.
