At this moment, he also thought of a problem: Zhuge Lan's strength was formidable, even to the point of killing a Titled Douluo from Spirit Hall.
This was a youth Soul Master Competition, and if a Titled Douluo were to sneak in, it would be extremely unfair to other forces.
So, he said,
"That's not right! Zhuge Lan should be a Titled Douluo; wouldn't it be unfair to let someone like him participate?"
A member also nodded and said,
"Yes! It's truly unfair. Zhuge Lan has killed Lone Wolf Douluo from Spirit Hall and even almost killed Chrysanthemum Douluo. Under these circumstances, if Zhuge Lan participates, will the other two Sects agree?"
Tang San nodded. This was true. After all, no one was a fool and couldn't see Zhuge Lan's strength. If Zhuge Lan were to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's team, then this competition would almost not even need to be held.
Under such circumstances, the other Sects would certainly not allow him to participate.
He felt a little disappointed and said,
"Zhuge Lan probably won't participate, right! After all, other Sects won't allow such a powerful combatant to join the competition."
At this moment, a member who hadn't spoken much slowly walked over and said meaningfully,
"Do you know where this Soul Master Competition will be held?"
Tang San hadn't paid attention to this matter and was hearing about the Soul Master Competition for the first time, so he naturally didn't know where it was. Thus, he asked,
"Where?"
That member smiled and said,
"Wood Spirit Forest, understand!"
A hint of confusion flashed across Tang San's face. Where was this Wood Spirit Forest? He didn't understand it at all, as he wasn't from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
He had come halfway, or rather, he had arrived recently, so it was quite reasonable for him not to know.
Under these circumstances, if someone told him an unfamiliar place and asked him to guess, he certainly wouldn't be able to guess it!
He wanted to know what this Wood Spirit Forest was, but he couldn't appear too ignorant, so he said,
"Please elaborate."
That member's face showed a hint of pride; obviously, the feeling of being watched was good, so he began to explain.
"This Wood Spirit Forest is a secret realm of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Do you know what a secret realm is? It's an independent small World with independent Spirit Beasts inside."
Tang San nodded. He knew what a secret realm was, but this seemed quite ordinary! Was there some trick here?
At this moment, the other members listening couldn't help but shout,
"Stop teasing us! Just speak properly! Don't make us wait anxiously."
That member said with a chuckle,
"This Wood Spirit Forest has a type of Spirit Beast called Wood Spirit, do you know about it?"
Tang San shook his head. This guy kept talking in riddles, which was truly infuriating. He said impatiently,
"Stop beating around the bush! What's so special about this Wood Spirit? Just tell us all at once."
This member ignored him and continued,
"This Wood Spirit has signed a contract with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. When the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Soul Masters enter it, they will be able to control the Wood Spirit. This indicates that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect really wants to win."
Tang San nodded. Since it was hosted by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, they certainly wanted to win on their home ground. But he also thought of a problem: could the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect really take first place by relying on the Wood Spirit?
He estimated it would be difficult. After all, the Clear Sky Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon's Spirits were exceptionally strong. Even if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda possessed by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Soul Masters could control the Wood Spirit, they still wouldn't win.
So, he asked in confusion,
"But even with this, it probably won't be easy to win, right!"
This member looked at Tang San, his eyes lighting up, and he pointed at Tang San, saying,
"Yes, you're right. Even with the Wood Spirit, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will find it difficult to win. The reason is that the Soul Masters of the other two Sects have very strong combat power."
Tang San felt confused again. If that was the case, what did it have to do with Zhuge Lan?
So he said,
"Then tell me, what does this have to do with Zhuge Lan?"
This member smiled, then said,
"You're being foolish again. Since the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect wants to win, there's only one way: let Zhuge Lan participate, and have Ning Rongrong ask Zhuge Lan. Do you guess if it will succeed?"
The surrounding members nodded, clearly also believing that as long as Ning Rongrong asked Zhuge Lan, it would most likely succeed.
Tang San now understood. Indeed, he could join, but there was one problem, which was the most obvious loophole.
Would the other Sects allow Zhuge Lan to participate? Obviously not, so he said,
"But the other Sects won't let Zhuge Lan participate!"
This member immediately laughed, his laughter carrying a hint of mockery, then he said impatiently,
"Are you stupid! Who said Zhuge Lan has to participate with his own identity? He can change his identity, disguise himself, and then participate."
Tang San's heart sank. That's right! He himself could disguise his identity and infiltrate the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, so why couldn't Zhuge Lan change his appearance and participate in the Soul Master Competition?
For Zhuge Lan, this should be a very easy thing, considering Zhuge Lan had so many strange and rare treasures.
If he was half-believing about Zhuge Lan participating in the Soul Master Competition before, now he could fully believe that Zhuge Lan would definitely participate in the Soul Master Competition.
Then, he must also participate in the Soul Master Competition, and then, he would wait for the Clear Sky Sect to arrive, and at that time, he would blend into the Clear Sky Sect's Soul Master team.
He looked at this member and said,
"What you said makes sense. Then, can you predict whether the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect can take first place?"
That member's face showed a hint of pride, and then he said happily,
"Of course they can take first place. It just depends on what method they use to take first place so that other Sects won't be able to tell."
Tang San's lips curved slightly. This time, he would definitely make Zhuge Lan die. Take first place? What was he thinking?
But to others, he still had to pretend.
So he said,
"That's right, that's right."
At this moment, a figure walked over from a distance. After seeing the figure, the surrounding people excitedly cheered,
"Zhuge Lan, Zhuge Lan."
"Zhuge Lan."
"Zhuge Lan."
Tang San's face showed a look of panic, which then quickly calmed down, clearly showing some fear and worry.
Then he hid behind the crowd and did not look at Zhuge Lan.
Zhuge Lan smiled and nodded, then came before everyone, took out a portrait, and said,
"Have any of you seen this person?"
The person in the portrait was a somewhat alluring but very serious woman, which looked a bit awkward.
This woman was Leng Xiaoxue, whom Zhuge Lan had drawn after searching for her. After Leng Xiaoxue left last night, for some reason, this image kept appearing in his mind when he returned.
There was no other way, so he drew one.
