Douluo Continent: My life is ruined, but I become stronger by taking on disciples.

Chapter 96 All parties gather, the banquet begins

The appointed day arrived, and all the forces on the mainland rushed toward the same location.

At Shrek Academy, Flander had long since gone to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, leaving only Lan Minghua and his disciples, along with the other Shrek teachers.

When Lan Minghua got up, the sun was already high in the sky, and it was so hot it was practically burning his backside.

He rubbed his sleepy eyes and said lazily, "Hmm? Is it already midday? I think we're going to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School today? Oh well, it doesn't matter if it's a little late, after all, the main characters always make their grand entrance last."

However, as soon as he opened the door, he found Oscar and the others already waiting outside.

Oscar pouted, somewhat dissatisfied, and said, "Master, if we don't set off soon, we won't be able to participate in the Soul Master Exchange Competition."

Lan Minghua casually brushed the hair away from his forehead, revealing his high forehead, and teased, "What's wrong? In such a hurry to get over there? Is someone tugging at your heartstrings?"

Oscar was taken aback, then said helplessly, "Master, what are you saying? I'm in a hurry to test my current strength. What do you think we're waiting here for in such a rush?"

Lan Minghua carefully examined him and, finding that he wasn't lying, nodded seriously.

After thinking it over for a while, he had guessed which god wanted to take action against Oscar.

A second-level deity, the God of Food.

There's no other reason than that the current Nine-Colored Goddess Ning Rongrong simply doesn't think much of her.

The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda limited her future; she could only ever reach the level of a Soul Saint, and it was impossible for her to gain the favor of the gods.

The sentence just now is actually like knowing whether the God of Cookery has secretly taken action against Oscar.

However, it seems that the God of Cookery has not taken any further action against Oscar.

Lan Minghua nodded, took out his flying prop sword, and said lazily, "Get on, get ready to depart."

"Yes, Master," Oscar and the other three said in unison.

However, just as they left Shrek Academy, someone secretly began to monitor Wu Song.

Wu Song sneered, but ignored these people.

At this time, the gate of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect was wide open, and a red carpet with gold embroidery was laid on the white jade steps.

On both sides of each step stood bronze crane lamps, with fist-sized luminous pearls as the wicks.

Even during the day, the luminous pearl can be seen shining brightly.

A mountain breeze swept by, and the flickering lamplight illuminated the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, making it shine brilliantly.

Ning Rongrong, one of the main figures present, stood in front of the main hall with Bone Douluo to greet the guests.

She was dressed in a flowing, moon-white dress with wide sleeves, the hem embroidered with pale gold auspicious cloud patterns, which fluttered gently in the wind.

She raised her head slightly, with a hint of unwillingness in her eyes.

The marriage alliance with Tang San was merely to protect the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Otherwise, given her personality, she would never have agreed to the arranged marriage.

At that moment, the area beneath the gates of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was bustling with activity.

People from various factions arrived in colorful and dazzling carriages made of various spirit beasts.

"Yu Yuanzhen, Sect Master Yu has arrived!"

Just then, a disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School shouted loudly.

The next moment, a dragon-horse chariot crackling with blue lightning descended from the sky and landed with a thud in front of Ning Rongrong and Bone Douluo.

Several direct disciples of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan stood on the carriage, including Yu Tianxin.

"Brother Gu Rong, I hope you will accept this small token of my appreciation." Yu Yuanzhen's voice was as loud as a bell, echoing through the mountains.

With a wave of his hand, Yu Tianxin beside him immediately presented a sandalwood box. "This contains a 40,000-year-old soul bone. Consider it a small gift for my niece Rongrong."

These words caused an uproar among the forces at the foot of the mountain.

Soul bones are extremely rare; even Soul Masters at the Soul Douluo level may not possess a 40,000-year-old soul bone.

Bone Douluo smiled and returned the greeting: "Brother Yuan Zhen is joking. A forty-thousand-year-old soul bone is hardly a small gift. I am unworthy of such a gift."

Then the disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School took the wooden box and stepped aside.

Immediately afterwards, the disciple in charge shouted again: "Crown Prince Xue Qinghe of the Heavenly Dou Empire has arrived!"

A white light streaked across the sky, and the carriage was pulled by three ice swans. The temperature dropped several degrees wherever it passed.

In the blink of an eye, it landed in front of Bone Douluo.

Xue Qinghe stepped down from the carriage and bowed to Bone Douluo, saying, "Qinghe greets Your Majesty Bone Douluo."

His gaze then fell directly on Ning Rongrong, "Congratulations on your big day, Rongrong!"

Xue Qinghe is Ning Fengzhi's disciple and the crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, so Ning Rongrong would naturally not ignore him.

She quickly curtsied in return, saying, "Greetings, Brother Qinghe."

Xue Qinghe chuckled and had a jade box brought out: "Inside is a 40,000-year-old soul bone, a congratulatory gift from Father. It's a small gift, I hope my sister won't find it offensive."

"Thank you for your kind gift, brother. I will remember it," Ning Rongrong said.

The Haotian Sect arrived shortly after, but being a reclusive sect, they kept a low profile.

The latest novel is first published here!

After all, Qian Daoliu of the Spirit Hall is still around. If we don't give him face, he might flip the table.

The Spirit Hall did the same, giving away a piece of 50,000-year-old soul power, which caused a stir before falling silent.

After all, the Spirit Hall didn't want to continue to promote the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. If they didn't want to deal with Lan Minghua and win the soul bones back, they wouldn't bother to come to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

Davis, the representative of the Star Luo Empire, caused a stir upon his arrival.

After all, the Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire are the only two entities on the continent that can be called empires.

Tang San and Dai Mubai, hidden in the shadows, kept their eyes fixed on Davis.

They started plotting how to secretly eliminate Davis.

However, just as the banquet was about to begin, the most important person still hadn't arrived.

"What's going on?" Tang San frowned, looking around. "Why hasn't Lan Minghua arrived yet?"

Not only Tang San, but also people like the Spirit Hall and Davis were searching for Lan Minghua.

After all, they all knew what the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School wanted to do by inviting Lan Minghua, and they also wanted to see if Lan Minghua was so tough as to bring a bunch of burdens to the banquet.

Standing near the Spirit Hall's ranks was a tall man, Hu Yanzhen, the sect leader of the Elephant Armor Sect.

Seeing that Lan Minghua did not appear, he immediately mocked, "Hmph, what kind of bullshit Tianlong Gang is this? Looks like he's scared, he doesn't even dare to come to this mere Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. He even dares to try and mess with the Spirit Hall, he really has no shame."

He wanted to rely on the Tianlong Gang, which was belittling Lan Minghua, to elevate the Spirit Hall.

However, Chrysanthemum Douluo glanced coldly at Huyan Zhen and said in a chilling voice, "Shut up! You ignorant fool, say another word and I'll kill you!"

Huyan Zhen immediately broke out in a cold sweat and retreated dejectedly, not daring to show the slightest dissatisfaction.

As someone who had witnessed Lan Minghua's strength, how could Chrysanthemum Douluo allow others to belittle Lan Minghua?

To denigrate Lan Minghua is tantamount to denigrating his own reputation.

However, even though all the forces had taken their seats, Lan Minghua still did not show up.

"Damn it, is he really not coming?"

Tang San's face was so gloomy it could drip water; he had paid far too high a price for this day.

Bone Douluo, Tang Xiao, and Yu Yuanzhen all looked rather grim; their frustration was no less than that of Tang San Shao.

However, the time was almost up, and Sword Douluo couldn't care less about anything else. He prepared to get up and announce the start of the banquet.

Just as he was about to speak, a whooshing sound suddenly came from the sky, and a huge flying sword, like a meteor, crashed heavily into the arena set up for the Soul Master Exchange Competition.

Five figures appeared and disappeared in the smoke and dust. Everyone squinted, wanting to see who was the ruthless person who dared to offend the three upper sects and still came to the banquet of the three upper sects.

Lan Minghua, with dead fish eyes and rubbing his exposed belly, slowly walked out.

He looked around at the familiar and unfamiliar faces, and said jokingly, "Looks like I'm not late."
