Chapter 1341: Gu Yuena is Here

She was in her twenties at most. She should be around that age, he reckoned. He was surprised by her cultivation base. It was a rare case!

“Pagoda Master Zhang.” Gu Yuena bowed slightly and saluted Zhang Geyang.

In the Spirit Pagoda, the person who had the highest position was the Pagoda Master, two deputy Pagoda Masters, and four great spiriters. Currently, Gu Yuena was a high-ranking official in the Spirit Pagoda. However, in terms of hierarchy, she was still a rank lower than Zhang Geyang.

Zhang Geyang flashed a smile. “There’s no need to be overly polite, spiriter. It must’ve been a long journey. I wonder what instructions the Pagoda Master has for me this time.”

Gu Yuena shook her head. “He doesn’t have any instructions for you. It’s just that I’ve never been to the Dou Spirit and Star Luo Empires. It’s customary that I pay a courtesy call after I’ve become a spiriter.”

Zhang Geyang knew that this so-called courtesy call was actually a form of inspection. The headquarters would periodically send some personnel over for an inspection. There was no doubt that this young girl was here for an inspection as well as to gain some experience. It was highly probable that she would be promoted in the future.

With Qiangu Dongfeng’s reputation, he reckoned that Qiangu Dongfeng would stay the Pagoda Master until his death. In that case, the position that she was most likely to take over would be Leng Yaozhu’s.

“I hear you’re Pagoda Master Leng’s disciple,” said Zhang Geyang.

“Yes, thanks to my dear teacher’s teachings. She has made me who I am today,” Gu Yuena replied drily. At the same time, she sized up Zhang Geyang before her.

Although Zhang Geyang had concealed himself well, she could feel with her spiritual power that the Pagoda Master had a violent air about him at the moment.

The Battle of Five Gods, huh?

Gu Yuena had heard about the Battle of Five Gods shortly after her arrival in the Star Luo Empire. She did not expect Tang Wulin to announce his identity in the Star Luo Empire. That was not like him. He must have been set up by the Star Luo Empire. However, the pressure from the Battle of Five Gods was truly immense! Nevertheless, there was no mistaking him to undertake such an endeavor, always going to where the trouble was and not knowing what impossible meant.

On her way to the Star Luo City, she had watched the match between Zhang Geyang and Tang Wulin on the soul television in the car.

Two consecutive wins. Two consecutive wins in the Battle of Five Gods. He had progressed once again. The rate at which his strength was improving had exceeded her expectations. He was truly different now!

Gu Yuena took comfort in all this, but she felt a tinge of bitterness as well. The more powerful he was, the higher the possibility he would become her enemy. Currently, she was in control of her own body. If Gu Yue awakened, with the heavy responsibilities she had to shoulder, could she remain indifferent? ‘Big brother, you must grow stronger quickly! You must at least be able to protect yourself in the future.’

“Spiriter, you mentioned that you’re heading to the Dou Spirit Empire as well. I trust you’ve been there already?” Zhang Geyang suddenly recalled something as he asked Gu Yuena.

Gu Yuena nodded. “Yes, I’ve been there. But I didn’t expect the Tang Sect to declare war on us. When I arrived, the battle was already over. The situation isn’t optimistic. The Spirit Pagoda is currently under much pressure in the Dou Spirit Empire. Many of its disciples had their movements restricted. That’s why my trip here was delayed.”

Zhang Geyang snorted. “How dare such a puny country go against our Spirit Pagoda? We’ll see how brave they are when the federal army comes. The Dou Spirit and Star Luo Empires should’ve been annihilated a long time ago.”

In the Federation, the Spirit Pagoda was like the sun at high noon. If the Star Luo Empire and the Dou Spirit Empire were destroyed by the Federation, the Spirit Pagoda would definitely be the benefactor.

“You’re right, Pagoda Master Zhang.” Gu Yuena played along.

Zhang Geyang was currently in a bad mood. So, he had no intention of having a lengthy conversation with Gu Yuena. “Spiriter, you must be tired after a long journey. Why don’t you rest for a bit? I’ll have a feast prepared for you later in the evening.”

“Alright. Thank you for your hospitality, Pagoda Master Zhang.” Gu Yuena stood up in a timely manner. After she saluted Zhang Geyang, she took her leave and was escorted out by a staff.

As he watched her leave, Zhang Geyang found the sight familiar. It was a feeling he could hardly explain. There was a certain air about her that seemed familiar to the Spirit Pagoda’s deputy Pagoda Master.

…

“Two consecutive wins! The Sect Master Tang is really powerful. He’s had two consecutive wins in the Battle of Five Gods. His spirit soul is really powerful. I like the first match with the golden dragon. It’s so cool! I’ve never seen such a dragon before. It had two horns and five claws. It was completely covered in brilliant, golden scales. Although it didn’t have wings, it flew extremely fast. Even the Hell Flame Beast couldn’t withstand its attacks.”

“I like the big guy at the end better. How mighty and powerful it was! I reckon it was a hundred meters tall! I may not be knowledgeable about other things, but in terms of size, I don’t think any other spirit soul can compare with it.”

“Tsk, what do you know? The real powerful one is that humanoid spirit soul. Only great beasts can appear in human form. Didn’t you see the orange-gold soul ring on the Sect Master Tang? It probably comes from this spirit soul. Although it seemed like it wasn’t directly involved in the battle, I suspect the outcome of the battle depends on it. I think it was the one that subdued the Thunderclap Nether Vine.”

“Haha. By the way, that Thunderclap Nether Vine is truly something. Although it’s the Pagoda Master Zhang’s spirit soul, it defected during the spirit soul battle. That’s how you can instantly gain the upper hand. He must be awfully depressed now.”

“Yeah! Someone told me the extent of Pagoda Master Zhang’s misery!”

“You guys are utterly inhumane. As it is, Pagoda Master Zhang is in a bad enough situation. Didn’t you see him getting angry out of shame and turn to attack the Sect Master Tang even though it was against the rules? Unfortunately for him, the Sect Master Tang retaliated. Now, that’s strength. The Sect Master Tang is truly awesome.”

“Strength or whatever is not that important. However, being handsome is. The Sect Master Tang’s good looks is beyond comparison, so much so he shocks the heavens and the earth. I want to bear his child.”

“You’re infatuated with him! I only wish for a romance with the Sect Master Tang.”

“Who are you kidding? You mean a wild affair, right?”

Various rumors were circulating throughout the entire Star Luo Empire. All kinds of information regarding Tang Wulin were being spread around the hubbub. For example, when he stepped into the coliseum, his expression of gratitude made all those who heard him feel their souls cleansed. It has since been embellished to have the effect of healing a thousand ailments.

His outstanding image, powerful background, and immense strength had turned him into a celebrity within a few days in the Star Luo Empire.

Naturally, the people hankered after the upcoming third match.

The unofficial ticket resellers were no longer around. The tickets to the latter matches of the Battle of Five Gods were no longer available. Even the nobles and high-ranking officials were resorting to unscrupulous means to get their hands on a ticket. In the black market, a single ticket was sold at a hundred times its initial price. Evidently, the attraction of the Battle of Five Gods was widespread.

Currently, Tang Wulin did not seem like a soul master. He was more of a star whose popularity just kept rising. He was beyond comparison.

There were many who hoped the time would pass quickly. This way, they would get to watch the upcoming match much sooner.

The third round was a soul skill battle, or perhaps a soul master battle. It would be a traditional fight between soul masters. The citizens were speculating who the Star Luo Empire’s representative would be.

The two experts Huang Zhengyang and Zhang Geyang had already lost. Hence, the pool of candidates who would make an appearance in the soul master battle would be small indeed.

There was no question that the candidate should at least have a cultivation base of a Hyper Douluo. Apart from that, his soul skills would have to be unique and powerful. Needless to say, he must have the confidence to defeat Tang Wulin
