Chapter 140 The Great Ming! The Second Ming!
"Da Ming! Er Ming!"
A familiar yet authoritative voice appeared in their minds, causing them to straighten up and put down their wine jars.
This is the Cloud Recesses, the former number one sect on the continent, the reclusive Haotian Sect!
The Haotian Sect has a history of ten thousand years, and thanks to the Haotian Hammer, a top-tier weapon spirit, the clan has produced many geniuses.
However, there are differences between geniuses. Although the Clear Sky Sect has produced titled Douluo throughout the ages, the path to becoming a Super Douluo is not one that ordinary geniuses can easily traverse.
As for the Limit Douluo, that depends entirely on fate.
For nearly a thousand years, the Clear Sky Sect has not produced a Limit Douluo, and even Super Douluo are not produced in every generation.
It is clear that it no longer holds the title of the number one sect on the mainland.
However, at this critical moment, Tang San, the Sea God who was born from the Haotian Sect ten thousand years ago, sent down a divine decree, bringing the Haotian Sect its "foundation".
For the next thousand years, the Haotian Sect once again had a Limit Douluo in charge.
Although the sect leader of the Haotian Sect was initially reluctant to be called "Niu Tian" by those surnamed "Tang," the other party was too strong, and with their ancestor Tang San as their "guarantor," the people of the Haotian Sect gradually got used to it.
The Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape were considered the overlords of the Star Dou Great Forest when they were collectively dormant in the core area ten thousand years ago.
But in the end, because of a rabbit, it became someone else's spirit ring, so now it can be considered a blessing in disguise.
After all, soul beasts cannot become gods, and they face terrifying heavenly tribulations every 100,000 years.
The Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, now separated from Tang San's spirit rings, can be considered to have gained eternal life.
The saying "When one attains enlightenment, even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven" is quite apt to describe this situation.
Of course, some master might protest, saying, "Everyone else got on the bus, but I wasn't included!"
According to kinship, as Xiao Wu's younger brothers, Da Ming and Er Ming should call Tang San "brother-in-law".
However, if Tang San, now a God King, were to associate with soul beasts on equal footing, he would likely be ridiculed by the gods in the God Realm.
Although Xiao Wu is also a soul beast, she has transformed into a human after all, and now, as the scabbard of the Asura Sword, she is naturally different from others.
Therefore, Tang San's "exile" of Da Ming and Er Ming to Douluo Continent can be considered killing two birds with one stone.
This not only resolved their awkward situation in the God Realm, but also gave him a backup plan in the Douluo Continent.
Erming only grew muscles but not brains, but Daming was meticulous and quick-witted, and figured this out.
Under Da Ming's instructions, he and Er Ming did not dare to presume upon their status as brothers-in-law, and they always showed Tang San the utmost respect.
Just like now, upon hearing Tang San's voice, the two of them immediately composed themselves, adopting a posture of respectfully listening to the divine decree of a superior.
Tang San was quite pleased with their demeanor, and his tone instantly became much more friendly.
"Thank you for your hard work at Haotian Sect these past years."
Tang San was just being polite. He had limited influence over the lower realm and didn't dare waste time, so he immediately got down to business.
"Xiao Qi is participating in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament in Xingluo City. There is something wrong with one of the participants named Kong Xuan. Go and investigate him."
Before Niu Tian and Titan could reply, the spiritual power that Tang San had unleashed vanished.
Tang San, standing beside the central hub of the God Realm, frowned, thinking to himself that his control over the lower realm was indeed getting weaker and weaker!
However, the goal has been achieved, and he believes that with the strength of Da Ming and Er Ming, it should not be difficult to accomplish this.
At the top of Haotian Fortress, the pressure belonging to the God-King vanished instantly, and Niu Tian and Titan's expressions returned to normal.
"What problems could a contestant possibly have?"
Titan scratched his head, clearly not understanding why Tang San would issue such an order.
Niu Tian remained serious and said, "That person hasn't conveyed much information over the past thousand years, so there must be a reason for saying that."
He thought for a moment and then said, "I'll go to Xingluo City right now."
"Big brother!"
Titan stood up and said, "It's just checking on one student. I'll go."
"I think you've had enough of Haotian Fortress and want to get out and have some fresh air, right?"
Niu Tian saw through Titan's thoughts at a glance. Titan smiled awkwardly, "I can't hide it from you, brother. But it's on the way anyway, so why don't you come with me, brother?"
Niu Tian shook his head: "One of us should stay in the sect. Do you really want to go?"
Titan nodded: "Staying up here on this mountain all day, my body is almost stiff."
The two had grown up together since childhood, and Niu Tian knew Titan's personality all too well. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I can entrust this mission to you, but you have to promise me that you won't do anything reckless, understand?"
Seeing a glimmer of hope, Titan promised, "Don't worry, brother, I guarantee I'll complete the mission and I absolutely won't do anything reckless."
Seeing his serious expression, Niu Tian said, "Then set off now for Xingluo!"
...
Kong Xuan, who was participating in a competition in Xingluo City at the moment, had no idea that he had already been targeted by Tang San.
The round-robin tournament has ended, and Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, like Shrek Academy, advanced to the next stage of the competition with a perfect record as the top team in their group.
In the conference room of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, the bright soul-guiding lights illuminated the entire room as if it were daytime.
All the members were present. I wonder what Ma Sheng called them here for. Was it to discuss tomorrow's tactics?
A moment later, Ma Sheng walked in from outside.
He tapped the table and said without further ado, "There's a top-tier auction at the Starlight Auction House tonight, which only happens once or twice a year."
Ma Sheng's gaze swept over everyone present: "It is said that there are also top-grade soul bones and other rare items. This is a rare opportunity. Does anyone want to participate?"
A hushed discussion broke out in the conference room, and then many people raised their hands to indicate that they wanted to participate.
The competition was rather tedious, and even though they didn't want to buy anything, these students still wanted to join in the fun and relax.
Meng Hongchen blinked her bright eyes and gently poked Kong Xuan's arm with her finger.
Are you still not going this time?
Her voice carried a hint of anticipation; Kong Xuan had refused her invitation to the Level 5 auction not long ago.
Kong Xuan tilted his head slightly, and the light fell on his angular profile, outlining a soft contour.
He took Meng Hongchen's mischievous little hand in his, a faint smile playing on his lips: "I'll go with you this time."
Meng Hongchen was stunned for a moment, then her eyes curved into crescents: "Really?"
"Hmm!" Kong Xuan nodded and smiled, "Maybe there's something that interests me?"
He remembered that in the original story, this very auction not only featured the Ice Explosion Soul Bone, but also the Snow Emperor sealed in the Conferred God Platform.
When Huo Yuhao acquired his second martial soul, he went to the far north, but he couldn't find any trace of the Snow Empress.
It is now unknown whether she will follow her original destiny and be sealed in the God-Sealing Platform by a human soul master the moment she takes human form, ultimately becoming an auction item in this auction?
Seeing that everyone had raised their hands, Ma Sheng said, "Okay, it's settled then!"
"Meet in the conference room at 7 PM tonight!"
