Chapter 185: The Reputation of a Scholar

The high-level members of the present sects couldn't help but curse Su Wen secretly. If they had known that the Spirit Ascension Method was so difficult to cultivate, they wouldn't have been happy when Su Wen publicly announced it. Now that they've learned about it, they have no choice but to dive into it.

Of course, there is another possibility: to kill Su Wen and prevent the Spirit Ascension Method from spreading completely. However, behind Su Wen stand three Titled Douluo, a Spirit Douluo, and Ning Fengzhi. Even Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect might provide comprehensive support.

Plus, there's the support of Spirit Hall and the Heavenly Dou Empire.

Who dares to kill him?

Although they were forced to dive into it, Su Wen still left them a way out. Although their secret techniques will be collected by Widsom Palace, they were not completely publicized. Some legitimate assessment criteria could still be established.

For example, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's Dragonization Secret Technique could require joining the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan or marrying into it. Similarly, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Heart Separation Control could demand that the technique not be disclosed to outsiders, not be used against the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and require the practitioner to perform three tasks for the sect.

"Does Star Luo Empire have someone who can represent the royal family?" Su Wen looked towards the direction of Star Luo Empire. Now that he had gained the support of Heaven Dou and Spirit Hall, only Star Luo was left. As long as the royal family of Star Luo Empire made a statement, the nature of Widsom Palace would be essentially determined, making it an established force.

At this moment, Dai Weisi from the Star Luo Imperial Team stepped forward, his eyes flashing.

Seeing this, within Shrek Academy, Dai Mubai clenched his fists tightly, his eyes filled with unwillingness.

Although his growth had been rapid, Dai Weisi had been the legitimate heir all along, almost designated as the Crown Prince.

Now, Dai Weisi obviously had more representativeness than him.

As long as Dai Weisi didn't act impulsively now and refused Su Wen's Widsom Palace, he would become the link between Star Luo Empire and Widsom Palace.

Even if Dai Mubai's talent showed hope of surpassing Dai Weisi in a few years, he would basically have no chance at the throne.

It's said that the winner takes all based on the strength of the two brothers, but ultimately, they would still be influenced by external factors, although this influence was not usually present.

Dai Weisi stepped forward and clasped his fists, saying, "I may not be the Crown Prince, but I am still a prince of the Star Luo Empire. Naturally, I support the great ideals of Widsom Palace. When I return to the empire, I will personally explain the situation of Widsom Palace to my father and strive to gain his support for Widsom Palace."

Su Wen nodded, saying, "Thank you."

"No, it should be all of us Spirit Masters thanking you," Dai Weisi waved his hand.

"Exactly, Su Wen, it should be all Spirit Masters thanking you for your efforts," Bibi Dong added.

Xue Qinghe also said, "Indeed, everyone should be grateful for your contributions."

What they three said represented the attitudes of the three most influential forces.

Suddenly, a voice, young yet firm, rang out loudly.

"Yes, it's all of us who should thank you for your efforts. Thank you, Teacher Wen."

It was Lin Dong.

His voice was abrupt, yet it penetrated straight to the heart, conveying a sense of sincerity.

"Thank you, Teacher Wen!" ×∞

Like a landslide, the entire square resounded with praise for Teacher Wen.

Su Wen glanced helplessly at Lin Dong.

Taking in the magnificent scene before her, Bibi Dong took a deep breath and gave Su Wen a profound look.

The Master of Spirit Masters throughout the world.

Su Wen, your achievements in theory are unprecedented, perhaps there will be few successors in the future.

Yu Xiaogang looked at the scene where everyone praised Su Wen's name as a teacher, his gaze was incredibly complex, mixed with envy and jealousy.

Today is destined to be recorded in history, and it will be a very prominent one.

Amidst the overwhelming praise for Teacher Wen, Su Wen felt a kind of energy of faith converging on himself.

"This is... faith."

Su Wen couldn't perceive the specific existence of the power of faith, but there was a vague feeling, sensing its presence.

It didn't matter if he couldn't harness the power of faith.

For him, the most important thing was to have a large amount of faith gathering around him.

The effect of faith is intangible, but it is also tangible.

In a short period of time, to harvest such a huge amount of faith from a state of having none, Su Wen felt that the circulation of Soul Power in his body had instantly become much smoother.

The energy of heaven and earth surged.

"This is..."

Spirit Masters with keen perception felt the changes in the elemental energy.

A large amount of elemental energy poured into Su Wen's body, which he refined into Soul Power.

Boom!

Su Wen broke through.

Level sixty.

At this moment, Ning Fengzhi was deeply shocked.

To break through to level sixty so quickly.

The major bottleneck from level fifty-nine to level sixty, unexpectedly completed the breakthrough within three months.

He knew that Su Wen must have gained some great benefits.

Apart from Ning Fengzhi, no one knew what this Soul Power breakthrough meant for Su Wen.

It didn't just mean that his Soul Power had increased by one level.

It meant that after the Spirit Master Competition, everything Su Wen had shown during the competition would be refreshed.

Another information gap was about to emerge.

"The current Spirit Master Competition has been a great success. I, as the Pope, announce—"

"Wait, Pope, there's a personal matter I need to attend to," Su Wen interrupted Bibi Dong once again.

Bibi Dong was completely clueless about what Su Wen was up to this time, but she tried to remain patient and asked, "What else do you need to do?"

"After the Spirit Master Competition ends, there will be many people curious about my Wisdom Palace and eager to discuss matters with me. I know you're in a hurry, but please bear with me for now."

???

"I have some personal matters I need to handle here, so I have to temporarily interrupt the Pope."

Su Wen bowed apologetically.

After all, he insisted on dealing with his personal matters before the end of the Spirit Master Competition.

Bibi Dong frowned, not pleased with the lack of respect shown at this time.

Su Wen's previous display of power was already sufficient; he was the master of Spirit Masters throughout the world!

Just as he had established the name of a master, even she had to give Su Wen some face. Curiosity sparked among the Spirit Masters about what private matter Su Wen had.

As Su Wen mentioned having personal business to attend to, Tang San and Yu Xiaogang's hearts sank, sensing trouble. As expected, Su Wen's gaze turned towards the direction of Shrek.

"Tang Hao, come out. Utilizing the platform of the Spirit Master Competition finals, it's time to settle our grievances," Su Wen said calmly.

Who?

Tang Hao?

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo's pupils contracted, and Bibi Dong's expression changed too. She followed Su Wen's gaze towards the Shrek Team's position, looking at Tang San.

"Twin Martial Spirit, Blue Silver Grass, surname Tang!" She understood; it all made sense now.

And gradually, others remembered who Tang Hao was.

The Clear Sky Douluo!

The youngest Titled Douluo on the current continent, pursued by Spirit Hall, is said to have disappeared for a long time. Su Wen called out Tang Hao's name directly, indicating a deep grudge between them, which shocked everyone.

But what did Su Wen mean?

Settle?

Our master just said he wants to have a decisive battle with the Clear Sky Douluo?

It's all in human language. How come I can't understand it here?

A figure wrapped in a black cloak appeared in front of the Shrek Team, and a voice filled with vicissitudes sounded.

"Young and audacious!"
