The Tree Realm Descends on Douluo Continent

Chapter 334 Return and Escape

The dark and damp cave fell silent for a moment, with only the faint sound of the father and son breathing.

After a long while, Tang San gently plucked a small Blue Silver Grass from beside his leg and began to play with it lightly: "Father, don't worry, I naturally understand this principle."

"However, human strength has its limits, Father. In the current situation, isn't leveraging existing resources our best option?"

If he had the ability, why wouldn't he want to crush them head-on, trample Li Xun and the Spirit Hall under his feet, and avenge his mother and Xiao Wu?

However, as his cultivation improved, he felt the gap between them more and more.

The thought that the Azure Bull Python might now be a spirit ring under Li Xun's feet filled Tang San with a sense of powerlessness.

A 100,000-year-old spirit ring!

Tang San felt a surge of jealousy and longing.

Through continuous absorption and the blessing of the Rakshasa God, his current level has reached level 82, and with the help of Biji, the age of the eighth ring has reached as high as 75,000 years.

If he obtains a 100,000-year soul ring when he is granted his title, he will be confident that he can stand in front of Li Xun again.

But how rare is a 100,000-year spirit ring? Although there are a few spirit beasts in this place, given the energy contained in those guys, even if they died in front of him, Tang San felt he wouldn't dare to absorb it.

Given the personalities of these spirit beasts, sacrificing them would be even more difficult.

A nineteen-year-old Soul Douluo with a Soul Ring configuration that surpasses even the best. If only Li Xun weren't here!

"Xiao San, I know how you feel right now. There was a time when the feeling of powerlessness when I thought of the Spirit Hall overwhelmed me, but I don't want you to feel the same way I do."

Sensing the emotion in Tang San's tone, Tang Hao realized he had damaged his son's confidence and quickly reassured him, "You're much better than I was back then."

As Tang Hao began to recount his story with his mother, Tang San sighed and tossed the Blue Silver Grass aside.

He is indeed stronger than his father, but what does it matter how strong he is? Isn't he still just like a rat hiding in this dark and damp corner?

It seems that the only thing that can change the current situation is the divine examination.

The fifth test is to kill the Seventh Elder? That suits me perfectly. A cold, fierce glint flashed in Tang San's eyes.

The Heavenly Dou Empire has been thriving in recent years, and the constant reports of victories from the front lines have greatly encouraged the people of Heavenly Dou.

People now firmly believe that if it weren't for the Spirit Hall causing trouble, the Heavenly Dou Sect might have already unified the continent.

It can no longer be called the Spirit Hall; it should be called the Spirit Empire, a statement that has drawn discontent from many.

The capital city of Tiandou was peaceful and harmonious, filled with laughter and cheerful voices, and the sounds of vendors hawking their wares echoed through the streets.

In recent months, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has been selling a wooden carving called True Thousand Hands quite well.

Li Xun's deeds had already spread throughout Tiandou City.

The champion of the Soul Master Competition, the holder of the fastest Soul Master level record, the one who single-handedly stormed the Star Luo battlefield to kill a titled expert from the Clear Sky Sect during the Soul Douluo era, coupled with his numerous 100,000-year Soul Rings and the terrifying speed of advancing to a titled level at the age of eighteen. Like a shot of adrenaline, it stirred the blood in everyone's heart.

Li Xun and Sword Douluo walked down the street, each holding a wooden carving of their own martial soul. They found the craftsmanship to be quite good, with some details showing great care.

"It seems to be the work of the Qibao factory."

When Li Xun first established the factory, he gathered 20,000 craftsmen to counter Tang San's hidden weapons, including 5,000 carpenters.

If we include the children of the apprentices, the number would probably be around seven thousand.

Although the hidden weapon was later deciphered and fewer people were needed, Li Xun did not lay them off. Instead, he set up a handicraft factory to provide a livelihood for these laid-off workers.

However, apart from Soul Masters, ordinary people in this world are unwilling to spend money recklessly, so this handicraft factory has been losing money since its establishment.

However, Li Xun didn't care.

He is already one of the richest people in the world. It is said that those who are successful should help others. If he were to abandon some of his beliefs for a pittance, what right would he have to become the strongest?

Without his approval, the people below complained that the carpenters weren't making money, but they didn't dare to make the decision to lay them off.

"Isn't it getting better?" Li Xun smiled as he put the wooden carving into his soul tool.

No one dislikes being praised, and he was no exception.

Watching a child holding his wooden carving and being admired by other children, Li Xun felt satisfied, but then another thought popped into his head.

It would be a shame if such a great product weren't made more widely available.

Li Xun had not seen the world's splendor for a long time, so he walked very slowly on this road.

But every road has an end, and as evening approached, the two arrived at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's headquarters.

After several years of changes, the base is now several times larger than before.

Since Ning Fengzhi and the various levels of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School now need to make decisions on all matters, big and small, in the Heaven Dou Empire, this place has become the very center of the empire.

Although it was getting late, many officials were still coming and going, creating a busy scene.

Thinking that Ning Fengzhi might be quite busy right now, Li Xun didn't get involved and went into the backyard after parting ways with Sword Douluo.

"Brother, you're back!"

In the pavilion of the secluded courtyard, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Dugu Yan were sitting together, with some tea and snacks on the table, as if they were celebrating something.

The latest novel is first published here!

Upon seeing Li Xun walk in, all three of them showed joy on their faces.

"You two seem to be celebrating. Is something good happening?" Li Xun hugged Ning Rongrong, who was running towards him, and asked with a smile.

"Today is my nineteenth birthday!" Ning Rongrong pouted and punched Li Xun in the chest.

"You've grown another year older?" Li Xun chuckled, weighing the baby in his arms. "Looks like you haven't grown up in vain."

"Rongrong, he probably forgot his own birthday." Zhu Zhuqing said with a smile when she saw that Ning Rongrong seemed a little unhappy, which was also a way of getting Li Xun out of the predicament.

"I did forget, but it wasn't by much. Let's take this opportunity to spend it together."

After setting Ning Rongrong down, Li Xun squeezed Zhu Zhuqing's hand and then sat down in the pavilion.

Perhaps because of the brief separation, the atmosphere among them became quite lively for a time.

"How's the teacher doing lately?" Li Xun suddenly thought of Ning Fengzhi while they were chatting.

"What?" Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing looked puzzled, not quite understanding this seemingly random sentence.

Dugu Yan's eyes lit up, and she said with a smile, "Much better, but I might still be a little depressed."

Her grandfather had told her about Ning Fengzhi, and she immediately realized what he meant.

"Looks like we need to let the teacher calm down. Come on, let's go back and rest. We'll go to Poseidon Island tomorrow." Li Xun laughed and led the three of them into the house.

Ning Fengzhi already knew that Li Xun had returned, but now all the major and minor matters of Tiandou had to go through him, so he didn't have time to meet him.

"This kid came back and didn't even come to see me first?"

"Little Xun is quite clever; he's probably already figured out what you're thinking," Sword Douluo chuckled.

Ning Fengzhi smiled and shook his head: "Then I'll see what he does tomorrow."

The next morning.

Li Xun waved to Ning Fengzhi with a smile, then boarded the carriage with the three women, leaving Ning Fengzhi frozen in place.
