NOVEL NEXT Chapter 250: Plotting Against Body Sect
Although Tang San is no longer a young man, he retains the heart of a youth.
In his competitive nature, there is a hint of gloom, a remnant from his past life.
As the sound signaling the start of the match rang out, the Elephant Armoured team was the first to release their martial souls.
Uniformly, they all had the Diamond Mammoth martial soul!
Three Spirit Ancestors and four Spirit Elders—this was the lineup from one of the four subordinate academies of the lower four sects.
Seeing this, Huyan Zhen crossed his arms and slightly raised his head.
This was the future of their Elephant Armoured Sect!
He couldn't help but feel a bit proud. Wasn't participating in the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament all about showing off?
If not for this opportunity to flaunt, what would be the point of competing?
Could they defeat the Spirit Hall Academy?
Could they take on the Heaven Dou Royal Team One?
Since they couldn't win, wasn't the purpose of participating to gain exposure and show the world that their sect had promising successors?
"Congratulations, Sect Master Huyan. Your Elephant Armoured Sect has hidden quite a surprise!"
"Indeed, who would have thought you have three Spirit Ancestor-level juniors? Truly enviable!"
"With Sect Master Huyan's guidance, they will surely become at least Spirit Douluos in the future!"
"That child Huyan Li might even reach the Title Douluo level!"
Listening to the flattery around him, Huyan Zhen's smile stretched from ear to ear.
Life is short, so one must enjoy it to the fullest!
"Ah Li does indeed have the potential to become a Title Douluo. I have high hopes for this grandson of mine!"
Who is Huyan Zhen?
What does he know about humility?
He is the kind of person who would dare to block the Sea God's Trident with his head!
Even without breaking through to the Title Douluo level, he would still dare to challenge a Title Douluo!
As if remembering something, Huyan Zhen casually remarked, "Compared to the Body Sect, Ah Li and the others are nothing."
"Miss Xiao Feilian, Young Master Du Siji, and the others—which of them doesn't have the potential to become a Title Douluo?"
"When the next Sect Ranking Tournament is held, we will need to rely on the Body Sect!"
Huyan Zhen may be reckless, but he is not foolish.
Upon hearing this, everyone quickly nodded in agreement.
"Sect Master Huyan is truly far-sighted. Well said!"
"If the Sect Ranking Tournament is reopened, the Body Sect will undoubtedly take the top spot among the upper three sects!"
No one opposed this statement, not even in their hearts.
Only the members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect wore unpleasant expressions.
Unless the Clear Sky Sect never reemerged, their title as one of the upper three sects would eventually fade.
Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin exchanged a glance but said nothing.
Huyan Zhen's words seemed like flattery toward the Body Sect, but they also served his own purpose.
Reopening the Sect Ranking Tournament!
His "voice" alone was too weak to make such a proposal. Even if the lower four sects united, it would be difficult to persuade the Spirit Hall to reopen the Sect Ranking Tournament.
But the Body Sect was different. They had the strongest individual in the world, and who knew how powerful the Body Sect had become?
A deputy sect leader could go head-to-head with Tang Hao without losing ground.
This alone showed just how formidable the Body Sect had become!
Huyan Zhen didn't dare to aim for the top spot among the upper three sects, but he had some ambitions for the other two positions.
Moreover, he knew some secrets!
For example, the Spirit Hall was planning to target the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect...
If they succeeded, wouldn't his Elephant Armoured Sect have a chance to compete for the second spot?
As for the first place, he didn't even dare to dream about it!
The image of Zhongli crushing an entire mountain with a single grip was still fresh in his mind!
What Huyan Zhen was doing now was simply stirring the pot.
He wanted the Body Sect to propose the idea of reopening the tournament, letting them take the lead while he aimed for second place.
Zhongli set down his teacup and glanced sideways at Huyan Zhen.
Just one glance, devoid of any emotion, made Huyan Zhen feel a chill run down his spine. Cold sweat dripped uncontrollably from his forehead.
His body trembled slightly, and a cold sensation shot up from the soles of his feet to the back of his head!
He was completely unnerved!
"He saw through me!"
"He definitely saw through me!"
Huyan Zhen's pupils contracted, his eyes widening as he screamed inwardly.
Scheming against a supreme powerhouse, even without malicious intent, was akin to dancing on the edge of death.
After a moment, Zhongli finally withdrew his gaze and calmly picked up his teacup again, resuming his tea tasting.
Huyan Zhen indeed had no ill intentions, but he had still tried to scheme against him.
For such a trivial matter, Zhongli didn't care much. A slight warning would suffice, and he believed Huyan Zhen would understand.
If he didn't, his head wouldn't need to block the Sea God's Trident anymore.
Seeing Zhongli look away, Huyan Zhen finally let out a sigh of relief. He discreetly wiped the sweat from his forehead and turned his attention back to the arena.
"Lord Martial God is indeed Lord Martial God. Such magnanimity..."
"It seems I'll have to think of another way."
Huyan Zhen no longer dared to entertain thoughts of involving the Body Sect or Zhongli. He feared that before the Elephant Armoured Sect could rise to the upper three sects, they would be annihilated by the Body Sect!
The others present also remained silent.
They had witnessed what had just happened, and none of them were foolish enough to misunderstand the situation.
As for making sarcastic remarks, they weren't that stupid.
If they couldn't afford to offend Zhongli, could they afford to offend Huyan Zhen?
After all, he was the sect master of one of the lower four sects!
Sitting beside Zhongli, Du Bafang glanced thoughtfully at Huyan Zhen.
The sect master might be magnanimous, but that didn't mean he was!
"If the Sect Ranking Tournament is really reopened..."
Thinking this, Du Bafang gave Huyan Zhen a deep look and clenched his fists.
Fortunately, Huyan Zhen had only spoken positively. Otherwise, whether he would live to see tomorrow would be a question.
On the arena, after the Elephant Armoured team members released their martial souls, the Shrek Academy team also began to release theirs.
Unlike the uniform martial souls of the Elephant Armoured team, the Shrek Academy team's martial souls were diverse.
As the core of the team, Tang San was naturally the last to release his martial soul. As the "protagonist," making a grand entrance served to show off.
"???"
"Strange, why is Tang San standing at the front of the team today?"
The crowd murmured in confusion.
Previously, Tang San had always stood beside Jiang Zhu and Oscar. Today, however, he had taken the position of a power attack-type spirit master.
"Huyan Li, if this is all you've got, then I, Tang San, will kindly ask you to step down!"
Tang San spoke slowly and deliberately. Before Huyan Li could respond, a dark light flashed in Tang San's left hand, and a massive war hammer appeared in his grasp.
Purple...
When Tang San's first spirit ring appeared, both the audience and the competitors were stunned.
As if realizing something, they were once again taken aback.
Wait, Tang San had already added spirit rings to his second martial soul at the Spirit Ancestor level?
The fact that Tang San had twin martial souls was no secret, especially after his battle with Xiao Feilian. This news had spread throughout the entire Douluo Continent!
No one had expected him to add spirit rings to his second martial soul so early!
