Chapter 229: One Night of Fish and Dragon Dance
After the wedding, neither the Lightning Douluo and Mad Tiger Douluo of the two great Empires, nor Jade Yuanzhen, the patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, stayed long.
Originally, they had thought about befriending Sky City, but now that was out of the question; they all left, burdened with worries.
They couldn't help but worry. After all, Spirit Hall was already powerful enough, and now Sky City had suddenly appeared. With the two forces joining hands, their future days would be filled with trepidation.
Although the two great Empires were not weak, the number of Titled Douluo in Spirit Hall and Sky City was too great; even if they united, they would be far inferior.
If the two sides hadn't intermarried, it wouldn't have mattered much. Even as allies, there would be times of disagreement, but now that was impossible.
They all knew that Spirit Hall was controlled by the Angel Family's Qian family, and the Angel Family only had Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue left. It's said that one mountain cannot hold two tigers unless one is male and one is female, and it really turned out to be one male and one female. This was very troubling.
Seeing that most of the guests had dispersed, Qian Daoliu and Poseidon prepared to go to the ocean for a spar.
Qian Daoliu was a bit overconfident, thinking of winning against Poseidon once in the ocean, while Poseidon wanted to test Qian Daoliu's strength and carefully observe what was happening with the spirit power vortex within him.
Watching Poseidon enter the teleportation array, Wang Teng called out to Qian Daoliu.
"Old man, wait a moment!"
"What?"
Qian Daoliu was a little puzzled.
"Hehe, I'll give you something good, guaranteed to help you defeat Sea God Douluo!"
"Oh? Tell me?"
Qian Daoliu became interested.
"You can borrow this thing."
Saying that, Wang Teng handed the divine sword—conqueror's wings—from his inventory to Qian Daoliu.
"This is a divine sword. You should refine it now. With a divine sword in hand, Sea God Douluo shouldn't be your opponent."
As soon as Qian Daoliu took conqueror's wings, he immediately felt its heavy weight.
"Hiss~, is it really a divine artifact?"
Qian Daoliu's eyes widened. He hadn't expected Wang Teng to bring out a divine artifact.
"That's right, lend it to you to play with. Xue'er and I hope you can achieve victory."
"Haha, good! It's just a pity that Tang Chen isn't here, otherwise, this old man would definitely defeat him!"
He was very displeased with his old rival, Tang Chen. He had been suppressed by him for this entire life, and now he could turn the tables, but Tang Chen wasn't here, which was a bit regrettable.
After Lightning Douluo returned to the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, he immediately found Emperor Xue Ye.
"Oh? Imperial Uncle, you're back?"
"Hmm, Your Majesty, things are serious!"
Lightning Douluo sighed.
"What's the situation?"
Emperor Xue Ye was confused. His Imperial Uncle had only gone to Sky City to attend a wedding banquet, right? Why did he look so troubled?
"Spirit Hall and Sky City have intermarried."
"What? Intermarried?"
"That's right, the City Lord of Sky City married the daughter of Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong of Spirit Hall."
"What? Bibi Dong has a daughter? Why didn't I know?"
Emperor Xue Ye was genuinely curious. He had never heard of Bibi Dong having a daughter!
"The City Lord of Sky City is Wang Teng, the eldest son of Xuanjia Douluo Wang Chengkun. The woman he married today is named Qian Renxue. She is not only Bibi Dong's daughter but also the granddaughter of Spirit Hall's High Priest Qian Daoliu and the daughter of the former Supreme Pontiff Qian Xunji."
"Hiss, Spirit Hall hides things deep enough. For so many years, there hasn't been a single piece of information about this."
Emperor Xue Ye gasped. The daughter of two Supreme Pontiffs, the granddaughter of High Priest Qian Daoliu, the Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall—such an important figure, and their Heaven Dou Empire actually failed to detect it.
What on earth was the intelligence department doing? How could such a huge oversight occur?
"Wait, Imperial Uncle, you said the City Lord of Sky City is Wang Chengkun's eldest son, Wang Teng?"
Emperor Xue Ye came back to his senses and asked in shock.
"That's right, and this Wang Teng is also a Level 98 Titled Douluo, and Qian Renxue is also a Level 92 Titled Douluo."
Lightning Douluo once again revealed explosive news.
"Hiss, how old is this Wang Chengkun's eldest son, to already be a Level 98 Titled Douluo?"
Emperor Xue Ye found it hard to believe. Wang Teng was not even twenty, right? His spirit power level was so high. Could he be a Divinity descended to the World?
Was this the legendary 'someone else's son'?
"That Wang Chengkun! No wonder I said he moved a few days ago! I didn't expect him to actually join forces with Spirit Hall. He's simply a traitor!"
Emperor Xue Ye started cursing. In his opinion, since Sky City had intermarried with Spirit Hall, Wang Chengkun must have become a traitor.
Of course, now Wang Chengkun was also a Titled Douluo, and his Heaven Dou Empire couldn't do anything to him.
"Your Majesty, Spirit Hall was already powerful, and now with Sky City, our Heaven Dou Empire must prepare early."
"Hmm, Imperial Uncle is right. That woman Bibi Dong has great ambitions, and Spirit Hall is powerful and has gained an ally. It probably won't be long before they make a move on our Heaven Dou Empire. I will order the military to strengthen their defenses."
The Heaven Dou Empire was not an opponent of Spirit Hall; this was a fact. For him to actively attack Spirit Hall was impossible. Emperor Xue Ye wasn't that stubborn; he could only choose passive defense.
Besides strengthening the army's defenses, he couldn't think of any other good methods.
As for cultivating geniuses to advance to Titled Douluo? The Heaven Dou Empire had always been doing this, but unfortunately, the results were few.
Generally speaking, powerful geniuses were mostly found in Spirit Master families and various Sects.
If they were from commoner backgrounds, they were basically taken in by Spirit Hall in advance, as Spirit Hall was the one to awaken Spirits for commoners, naturally earning their goodwill.
Moreover, how many commoners would have a good impression of the noble lords?
Although commoners generally had poor talent, as long as the base number was large, geniuses would always appear.
Most of Spirit Hall's Titled Douluo were from commoner backgrounds. Even if not, their ancestors were commoners who then developed and grew stronger.
Furthermore, commoner geniuses in the Heaven Dou Empire's various Spirit Master academies were often ostracized by noble-born students, so they basically joined Spirit Hall after graduation.
Therefore, in terms of talent competitiveness, the Heaven Dou Empire was clearly inferior to Spirit Hall, and this gap was even widening.
The backbone of the Heaven Dou Empire mainly relied on noble members.
Of course, it's not to say that all noble descendants were profligate sons; in this World where strength was respected, such situations were rare, and these profligate sons also had little talent.
Noble children with good talent would receive strict education, but they were ultimately not as good as those powerful Sects, and coupled with a smaller base number, the Heaven Dou Empire had not cultivated a single Titled Douluo to date.
Like Lightning Douluo, as soon as Mad Tiger Douluo returned to the Star Luo Imperial Palace, he summoned all the Titled Douluo of the imperial family for a discussion.
Of course, they didn't come up with any results, at most just strengthening military preparations.
After Jade Yuanzhen returned to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, he also began to ponder a question.
That was whether his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan should surrender or not? The Clan's situation was different from that of the two Empires. Even if they surrendered, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would at most lose some benefits, but there would be no danger of extinction.
The two Empires couldn't do that; the imperial families would definitely be eliminated, with no other choice.
If they didn't surrender, and if Spirit Hall or Sky City planned to unify the Douluo Continent in the future, then his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would definitely be unable to resist. It wasn't that his army wasn't strong enough, but that the enemy army was too powerful.
But if they were to surrender, would they surrender to Spirit Hall or Sky City? And with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's proud nature, could the Clan members accept the fact of surrender?
Jade Yuanzhen wasn't very confident that he could persuade his clansmen.
In the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, although he was the only Titled Douluo and also the Clan patriarch, he wasn't omnipotent. Many matters still had to be discussed with the Clan Elders.
Wang Teng paid no attention to the changes caused by his wedding. Even if he knew that Spirit Hall and Sky City had joined forces, so what? What couldn't be stopped still couldn't be stopped. Even if they all united, it would be useless. No strategy was needed; direct crushing was enough.
Night fell, and as evening arrived, Wang Teng became impatient.
"Hehe, Xue'er, have you been waiting anxiously?"
"Get lost, I haven't!"
Qian Renxue rolled her eyes at Wang Teng.
"I don't care anymore, it's getting late. Let's rest!"
"Mm."
A night of fish and dragons dancing.
Early the next morning.
Recalling the madness of last night, Qian Renxue gave Wang Teng a hard punch.
"It's all your fault, I'm injured now, and I still have to serve tea to Mom and Dad later!"
"It's alright, watch me. Eighth Spirit Ability, Fountain of Life."
A golden light shone on Qian Renxue, immediately restoring her to full health.
"Tsk tsk, I don't feel any pain anymore."
With the healing Spirit Ability activated, Qian Renxue felt full of energy. She turned to look at Wang Teng and smiled mischievously.
"Little Wang Teng, do you still have strength now? Big sister is coming!"
After speaking, Qian Renxue immediately launched an attack.
"Hiss~!"
Wang Teng gasped.
It wasn't until close to noon that the two of them tidied up and went to see Wang Chengkun and Li Chan.
Qian Renxue was radiant, while Wang Teng looked a bit listless.
