Although Ning Fengzhi was determined not to get involved in this mess,
remembering the lesson of the Tang Sect's Spirit Pagoda, he wasn't prepared to completely sever ties.
After all, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Tang Sect were already a community of shared interests.
At least that's how it appeared to outsiders.
So,
when Tang Lan was about to leave, Ning Fengzhi chased after him.
"Brother Lan, you've really gone too far this time!"
"For the sake of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, I can't offer much support openly."
"But personally, I will persuade the better nobles to wait and see, to ease some of your pressure."
"In addition, I can personally contribute funds for the construction of the Tang Sect Academy."
"Furthermore, I will provide 10,000 communication soul tools for internal communication within the Tang Sect Academy."
Ning Fengzhi spoke sincerely,
without concealing his retreat,
but offering substantial support.
While not outstanding, it was a significant improvement compared to the Tang Sect's Spirit Pagoda's halfway departure.
The goal was to avoid offending either side.
"Brother, you're too kind," Tang Lan smiled. "Everyone becoming a dragon is my own ideal, and naturally, I need to strive for it myself."
Everyone becoming a dragon... A
trace of guilt flashed in Ning Fengzhi's eyes.
Such a lofty ideal—if it weren't for the burden of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, perhaps he too would have been tempted to join?
Unfortunately,
he was the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
"Sigh—" "
I've been managing things in Heaven Dou City for many years, and I can guarantee that the Tang Clan will be safe and sound until you return from the Elite Tournament."
"Make the most of this time and go all out!" He
patted Tang Lan's shoulder heavily.
Ning Fengzhi looked somewhat dejected as he parted ways with Tang Lan at the passageway. Tang Lan
looked at him with some surprise.
—This was essentially helping him withstand the pressure from Heaven Dou City.
Where was Heaven Dou City?
The capital of the Heaven Dou Empire!
Most of the high-ranking nobles resided there.
Although Ning Fengzhi was participating in a private capacity, if Tang Lan failed,
at least he, as sect leader, would lose his position.
'Looks like I have quite a talent for pyramid schemes?'
'Or perhaps Ning Fengzhi heard something?' '
That shouldn't be the case!
Tang Lan's backup plan is unknown even to Tang San and the others. '
He shook his head.
Too lazy to delve into the reasons.
With Ning Fengzhi guarding the rear, things would indeed be easier.
'Then…'
'Let's make a big scene!'
The next day.
Tang Li's newspaper spread like wildfire to every corner of the Douluo Continent.
A large number of readers roared with fervor!
'Teacher Tang has declared war on the nobles for us!'
'He wants everyone on this continent to be like dragons!' '
What Teacher Tang needs to do now is cultivate young talents for the Heaven Dou Empire, reserve a large number of Soul Masters for the empire, and strengthen the empire's core strength!'
'Teacher Tang has also written a poem, which he gave to all the citizens of the Heaven Dou Empire, entitled—'The Youth Speaks!'
The readers cleared their throats, preparing their emotions. "
With the loudest, most desperate voice, they roared—
"When the youth are wise, the nation is wise; when the youth are wealthy, the nation is wealthy!"
"When the youth are strong, the nation is strong; when the youth are independent, the nation is independent!"
"When the youth are free, the nation is free; when the youth progress, the nation progresses!"
"The rising sun shines brightly."
"The river emerges from its hidden source, flowing into a vast ocean."
"The hidden dragon soars from the abyss, its scales and claws flashing.
" "The young tiger roars in the valley, and all beasts tremble in fear.
" "The eagle tests its wings, stirring up dust and wind."
"The rare flower begins to bloom, resplendent and magnificent."
"The sword is sharpened, its edge gleaming."
"The sky is blue, the earth is yellow."
"Throughout the ages, across the eight wastelands."
"The future is like the sea, the days ahead are long."
"Beautiful is my Heavenly Dou Empire, as timeless as the heavens!"
"Magnificent are my Heavenly Dou youth, as boundless as the nation!"
As words carrying Tang Lan's emotions, everyone could sense the powerful yearning within him between the lines!
A yearning for the strength of Heavenly Dou!
A yearning for the prosperity of Heavenly Dou! A
yearning for the unparalleled glory of Heavenly Dou!
In an instant,
this "Youth's Tale" swept through the streets and alleys, passed from mouth to mouth.
Even the old farmers in the fields could recite a few lines.
What was this?
This was the tide!
Overwhelming voices of support resounded in every corner of the Heavenly Dou Empire.
These voices transformed into the power of faith, the points of light converging into rivers, continuously flowing towards Tang Lan.
The power of faith in the Vast Ocean Divine Eye was surging every second.
Tang Lan was overjoyed, grinning from ear to ear.
He had a premonition.
After this wave,
the faith power he collected was enough to instantly become a god.
—Even without a godhood, he could create one himself!
As for the level...
at most, a third-level god.
So Tang Lan wasn't in a hurry.
He didn't touch the faith power at all, storing it all away.
He was preparing to face the backlash from those whose interests had been threatened.
The
Spirit Hall was at the forefront!
Spirit Hall, Papal Palace.
Bibi Dong, seated at the head of the table, put down her newspaper and looked down.
Her two right-hand men, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei, were also frowning as they read the newspaper.
"Your Holiness!" Yue Guan exclaimed in a shrill voice, "This Tang Lan, first the Tang Sect Spirit Pagoda, now the Tang Sect Academy, is trying to steal our faith from the Spirit Hall!"
Gui Mei nodded in agreement.
It was common knowledge
that the Spirit Hall worshipped the Angel God and spread the faith of light. With
Tang Lan's actions
, the common people, as beneficiaries of the existing system, no longer cared what the Spirit Hall was.
But compared to all this,
Bibi Dong didn't care.
Faith?
That so-called Angel God hadn't appeared for years.
Not to mention her Rakshasa God, who was the Angel God's mortal enemy.
The loss of faith was none of her business.
But!
These people who should have belonged to the Spirit Hall had been lured to the Tang Sect.
This was intolerable !
Bibi Dong's ambition was vast; she fantasized about establishing a Spirit Empire and unifying the continent for eternity.
And the foundation of the Spirit Empire was the support of commoner Soul Masters.
What Tang Lan was doing now was digging up her roots!
Unacceptable!
Absolutely unacceptable!
Bibi Dong's eyes flashed with killing intent, and the aura she exuded made Yue Guan and Gui Mei below feel immense pressure.
They were secretly shocked!
—Your Majesty's strength had actually surpassed theirs?
"Yue Guan, Gui Mei!"
Bibi Dong ordered—
"You two, take a count of one hundred high-level Soul Masters and ambush them on the route the Heaven Dou Empire's participating teams will inevitably take."
"Personally find Tang Lan and ask him one last time if he's willing to serve the Spirit Hall!"
"If he's still evasive..."
"Then kill him!"
"Afterwards, head straight for the Tang Sect and capture all its high-ranking members alive!"
"The method for breaking through to level 0 is secondary; the focus is on this method for cultivating innate full soul power—we must obtain it!"
"Do you understand?"
Yue Guan looked troubled upon hearing this.
"Your Majesty," Yue Guan said cautiously, "Old Gui and I are confident we can handle the Tang Sect's Second Elder Wang Dali and Third Elder Dugu Bo."
"But..."
