Chapter 609 Tang San's Confidence Shattered
The idea of recruiting Hu Yanli into the Martial Soul Special Forces came to mind after seeing Hu Yanli's performance in the competition, and it just so happened to coincide with the thoughts of the grandfather and grandson.
Therefore, Ye Qifeng went along with it and fulfilled their wishes.
According to Ye Qifeng's plan, not only should Hu Yanli be recruited into the Martial Soul Special Forces, but also Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu from Blazing Fire Academy, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er from Tianshui Academy, Feng Xiaotian from Divine Wind Academy, and so on.
These people are all exceptionally talented Soul Masters. It would be a waste to simply keep them in the Elemental Academy. They would be better off coming to his Martial Soul Special Forces to shine and contribute to the Spirit Hall's great cause of unifying the Douluo Continent.
In addition, there are Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan from the main team of the Spirit Hall, as well as Zhang Ping, Sun Chuantao, Li Kai, Xu Yu, and others. Ye Qifeng also plans to bring them in. He will just tell Teacher Dong'er about it later, and she will definitely agree.
If all the best young Soul Masters are gathered into the Martial Soul Special Forces, then this force will be an extremely terrifying force, serving as a surprise attack and sharp blade for the Spirit Hall to advance its unification of the Douluo Continent, piercing the enemy's heart.
After confirming that Hu Yanli had joined the Martial Soul Special Forces, Ye Qifeng chatted with Hu Yanzhen and his grandson Hu Yanli for a while.
Of course, most of the conversations were with Hu Yanzhen.
After all, the things they discussed were quite profound, mostly related to the policies, guidelines, and plans of the Spirit Hall, as well as the situation on the Douluo Continent.
Hu Yanli listened quietly to the side, only interjecting a few words when he was mentioned or when he needed to answer some questions.
During this time, the issue of the five elemental city soul master forces inevitably came up.
Given that Blazing Fire City, Skywater City, and Divine Wind City had all secretly submitted to the Spirit Hall, Ye Qifeng gave Hu Yanzhen a hint during their conversation, instructing him not to target these three elemental cities anymore, but simply to maintain a superficial hostile relationship and put on a show.
As for Thunder City, everything remains the same.
However, Ye Qifeng also instructed Hu Yanzhen to keep a close eye on Thunder City and find out the direct descendants or loyal members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan who were planted there.
If the identity is confirmed, they can be secretly eliminated.
Thunder City is a subordinate force of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, under the command of the second-in-command, Yu Luomian, the head of the branch family. However, there must be direct descendants planted by Yu Yuanzhen, as well as branch family members who serve as lackeys for the direct descendants.
There are some things that Yu Luomian cannot do, and some people that Yu Luomian cannot kill. Since that is the case, then let the Spirit Hall do them for him and kill them for him.
And the Elephant Armor Sect, located in Elephant Armor City, is undoubtedly the best of these weapons.
Although Hu Yanzhen was big and burly, he was also a shrewd person. In addition, he had already received instructions from Pope Bibi Dong from the Spirit Hall. As soon as he heard Ye Qifeng's words, he knew what to do.
…………
Hu Yanzhen and Hu Yanli left satisfied.
The grandfather and grandson were overjoyed by their meeting with the Holy Son, which further strengthened their belief that following the Holy Son would bring them prosperity.
Before long, Qian Renxue walked out from behind the screen with a smile, quickly sat down next to Ye Qifeng, and, having tasted the sweetness, clung to him again.
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling also came out of the dressing room. The moment they saw Ye Qifeng's handsome figure, they both breathed a sigh of relief. Then they followed closely behind Qian Renxue and sat down on the sofa opposite.
"Yanyan, Lingling, what's wrong with you two?"
Noticing that Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling seemed a little off, Ye Qifeng asked them with concern.
"Huh? No, it's nothing."
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling quickly shook their heads, while secretly glancing at Qian Renxue. Seeing that she was still smiling and didn't show any reaction, they breathed a sigh of relief.
When facing Huo Wu, they didn't feel nervous at all, and even dared to stare at her and openly try to steal her man.
However, when facing Qian Renxue, the two were so nervous that they dared not even breathe. This was mainly because Qian Renxue's aura was too strong, and she had the air of an older sister, which made them feel suppressed by their natural bloodline.
"Xue'er, what were you doing in there just now?"
Although Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling didn't say much, Ye Qifeng still sensed something unusual in their words. He subconsciously turned his head to look at Qian Renxue, who was nestled in his arms, and asked her through soul power:
"Why do Yanyan and Lingling seem so afraid of you? Did you bully them?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue shifted her body to a more comfortable position, then tilted her head back and winked innocently at him:
"Nonsense, how could I bully them? They all call me 'older sister,' and I treat them like younger sisters."
"Speaking of which, how dare you doubt me?"
At this point, she glared at him with her beautiful eyes and huffed, transmitting her voice:
"Well, you little brat, it's only been a few days and you're already siding with outsiders, huh? Don't forget, you're already my man. I was here first."
Ye Qifeng coughed awkwardly twice:
"Ahem, Xue'er, don't misunderstand, I didn't mean to doubt you, I just..."
Before Ye Qifeng could finish speaking, Qian Renxue's melodious, mature voice continued to resonate in his mind:
"Hmph, I don't care, you have to make it up to me! Come to the palace tonight, I'll be waiting for you in the secret room."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qifeng was caught off guard and somewhat dumbfounded. At the same time, certain crazy and erotic images involuntarily flashed through his mind. He quickly composed himself, suppressed the impulse rising within him, and changed the subject:
"Well, Xue'er, I'm afraid that won't work. I made an appointment with Sister Erlong today to go to Lanba Academy to accompany her."
"What?" Qian Renxue's eyes widened again, a hint of surprise on her face. "You're going to Sister Erlong's place?"
Ye Qifeng could only nod reluctantly, "Yes, it's already arranged."
"Alright then, I'll let you off the hook for today." Qian Renxue pouted, then smiled and narrowed her eyes. "But I'm coming too."
This time, it was Night Seven Wind's turn that was a bit unexpected:
"Are you going too? Don't you need to return to the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace to handle state affairs? Won't it be dangerous?"
Since he arrived in Tiandou City, Qian Renxue has been sneaking out of the palace more and more often, and almost every time she does so, she comes to see him.
Although Ye Qifeng knew that Qian Renxue would definitely have made all the necessary arrangements before leaving the palace, he still couldn't help but worry, fearing that he might expose her true identity and put her in danger.
Although Emperor Xueye's cultivation level wasn't great, the fact that he was able to sit on the throne of Emperor Tiandou shows that he was definitely not an ordinary person.
Although he has been poisoned and is bedridden, unable to move, it is still hard to guarantee that he may have some trump card that could threaten Qian Renxue's safety.
Hearing that Ye Qifeng's first concern was for her safety, Qian Renxue felt a warmth in her heart, her eyes softening. She nodded gently and transmitted her voice through her soul power:
"Don't worry, I've arranged everything. Staying away from home for a few days won't be a problem and won't arouse Emperor Xueye's suspicion."
Ye Qifeng finally felt relieved:
"Alright, after the match between the second team and Blue Tyrant Academy is over, let's call Little Ruiwen and go back to Blue Tyrant Academy with Sister Erlong."
…………
the other side.
The Shrek Seven Devils, having defeated the Elephant Armor Academy team and achieved a four-game winning streak, undoubtedly became the focus of all the audience, receiving countless cheers and applause from the crowd.
After the match ended, the Shrek Seven Devils quickly left the arena with the help of the event organizers.
But what they didn't know was that their team had already been targeted by a treacherous individual.
In a corner of the spectator stand for the participants.
Shi Nian, dressed in a moon-white Soul Master robe, sat among his teammates, who were also wearing moon-white Canghui Academy team uniforms. His gloomy eyes stared intently in the direction where the Shrek Seven Devils had left, like those of an eagle.
He never expected that the Shrek Seven Devils team, who had offended him not long ago and whom he held a grudge against, would be so powerful that they could even defeat an opponent like Elephant Armor Academy.
It's important to know that Canghui Academy's opponent in the previous round of the preliminary competition was Xiangjia Academy. However, when they faced Xiangjia Academy, they suffered a crushing defeat.
In this year's All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, Canghui Academy's goal is to advance to the qualifying rounds and the finals, which means they must achieve a top-five ranking in the preliminary rounds.
However, in the three preliminary rounds before this, they had already lost two matches, one to the Spirit Hall's second team and the other to Elephant Armor Academy.
Shi Nian knew very well that if he continued to lose, the goal of Canghui Academy would be impossible to achieve.
There were already enough strong teams in this Elite Soul Master Tournament, but now the Shrek Seven Devils have emerged, a team capable of defeating Elephant Armor Academy.
This brings great uncertainty to Canghui Academy's goal of making it into the top five in the preliminaries. The Shrek Seven Devils team will definitely be a stumbling block on their way to the next round.
Moreover, Canghui Academy had clashed with them before, so their opponents would definitely cause them trouble during the match.
Thoughts raced through his mind, and Shi Nian's eyes grew increasingly gloomy and cold.
As the team leader of Canghui Academy and also the vice dean of Canghui Academy, he was naturally unwilling to let the opportunity for Canghui Academy to advance to the qualifying rounds and the finals slip away.
Since that's the case, we'll have to resort to some unconventional methods.
Okay, let's start with this damn Shrek Seven Devils team, hehe.
…………
After leaving the arena, the Shrek Seven Devils received treatment from the on-site healing-type Soul Master arranged by the event organizers.
In this battle, five of the Shrek Seven Devils were injured, with Xiao Wu being the most seriously injured. Even with the best efforts of a healing-type Soul Master, she was unable to wake up.
After all, he had been struck by the full force of Hu Yanli, the strongest student in the Elephant Armor Academy, so his injuries were not easy to recover from.
The other three injured people, namely Tang San, Ma Hongjun, and the substitute player, recovered quickly and were soon lively again.
As for Oscar, he was only affected by the shockwave from the fight and bumped his forehead when he fell off the ring. He recovered after eating a big sausage.
After defeating the Elephant Armor Academy team, most of the Shrek Seven Devils were extremely excited, their eyes revealing the thrill of defeating a powerful enemy.
Even after returning to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, the excitement and exhilaration did not diminish.
While everyone was immersed in this happy atmosphere, there was one person who couldn't be happy.
This person, of course, is Tang San.
After defeating Elephant Armor Academy, Tang San did not feel any excitement or exhilaration like the others. On the contrary, he was filled with melancholy and regret.
The reason for his melancholy was that although the Shrek Seven Devils won the battle against Elephant Armor Academy, Tang San did not.
Although the entire match seemed to be under his complete control from beginning to end, only Tang San knew how many loopholes there were.
He paid a heavy price for this victory, using almost every trick in the book to barely win.
Especially when facing the opponent's strongest combatant, Hu Yanli, his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul seemed very powerless. Although it had a control effect, it was very limited and could not completely restrict the opponent's actions.
As for attacks, needless to say, they are completely useless.
In the end, he had to use his second martial soul, Haotian, and the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique taught by his father, Tang Hao, to barely defeat Huyan Li.
To be honest, it was really just a draw with the other side.
If his body hadn't undergone more than half a year of intensive training in the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, he probably wouldn't have been able to unleash even the final blow.
Even after delivering the final blow, he was still seriously injured, coughing up blood and passing out afterwards.
This incident was quite a blow to Tang San.
His lack of ability dealt a huge blow to his self-confidence, which is the source of his melancholy.
The reason he felt remorseful was that Xiao Wu had once again been severely injured in front of him.
He had clearly made a promise to protect Xiao Wu forever and never let her suffer any harm.
He had solemnly vowed that if anyone wanted to harm Xiao Wu, they would have to step over their own dead body first.
But the result?
Xiao Wu lay on the bed, while Tang San could only sit by the bedside, wallowing in self-pity, filled with regret and remorse.
He still couldn't protect Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu was hurt time and time again, and in front of him.
Sitting in front of Xiaowu's bed, holding her cold little hand, looking at her tightly closed eyes, her furrowed brows, and her pale face that was extremely pale due to her severe injuries and excessive blood loss.
At this moment, Tang San felt as if his heart was being torn apart, and he was in immense pain.
A jumble of chaotic thoughts kept flooding his mind, and at that moment, he suddenly began to doubt himself.
He began to doubt his own strength, his own abilities, and whether he could still protect Xiao Wu, and consequently, he doubted everything about himself.
