54 Aftermath of The Spar
The spar has caused quite the reaction for the Spirit city. It should be not a surprise as people saw true body manifestations and the rains of meteorites.
Simply put it has freaked out the whole Spirit City.
So, it's not a surprise that the news of the spar has spread out to the empires.
Not every day Titled Douluo's of Spirit Hall go out like this in the city perimeter.
After some digging, the noisy population found out that it was Golden Crocodile Douluo, The Second Worship of Spirit Hall who had a 'Spar' with Crown Prince of Heavenly Dou Empire.
Simply put it was nonsense… people didn't believe it at first… Sure he is Spirit Douluo but to fight Rank 98… A Hyper Douluo…
That should be impossible.
Though next day in the morning when construction workers were ordered to start the repair works they re-confirmed for the population that It was in fact… Xue Long sparring with Second Worship.
His Signature move, the literal meteorite shower indeed was used outside the city.
This has spread like wildlife through the continent. The Heavenly Dou Empire…people in the capital only shrugged at this. They already know he is powerful… its nothing special… they from time to time see showers of meteorites…
The only reaction to that fight was raised eyebrow and 'impressive' before returning to their work as if nothing of importance has happened.
The same can't be said about Star Luo Empire… the cats of Douluo Continent were freaking out. And the 'great' clans of Heavenly Dou Empire were gulping down nervous.
~~~~~~Clear Sky Clan~~~~~~
The elders of the Clear Sky clan were discussing something quite important as they were standing at crossroads.
Never before did they though that their clan once again will be close to Spirit Hall in some way or fashion.
After Tang Hao 'killed' Qian Xunji the relationship between Clear Sky and Spirit Hall was that of enemies and a 'war' was waged between these two factions. Only because Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen, the previous Clan head of Clear Sky were friends and rivals did Spirit Hall didn't invade their main compound.
…Now because of Xue Long who is engaged to Qian Daoliu Granddaughter… the very same granddaughter is being taught by Tang Yuehua… a member of Clear Sky Clan…
This development has put the Clan in an extremely strange position…
This is why the conversation between these old men has been going on for several years now.
Should they try to have a cordial relationship with Spirit Hall once again? This is what one-half of the clan is thinking while the other one. The ones who are close to Tang Hao is thinking that they should continue to be at odds with what they did to him.
However… now the 'Spar' has happened…
The very same Spar which made Golden Crocodile Douluo reach Rank 99…
"How do we even know what this report says is true!? Advancing from Rank 96 and above is extremely difficult! Golden Crocodile Douluo was in Rank 98 for decades!" Tang Xiao the current Head of Clear Sky Clan said with a frown.
"I wish this was the case. But the reports are sent by Spirit Hall itself. The Spar has been seen by many people. Hiding the fact that Spirit Hall has another Rank 99 is something they could not. The changes in the Second Worship looks were too obvious." One of the elders said with a serious look.
This made the Clan Head frown.
Animosity is still there between Spirit Hall and Clear Sky Clan because of his brother. Which they exiled, however, this was his father doing. It was to protect the Clan. However, now he is the Leader…
He did want Tang Hao to return from exile. But… this development makes it even harder to do.
"We should ally ourselves with the Crown Prince. He already helped Yuehua to advance beyond Rank 9 and with her last report, she said that she Is close to reaching rank 70." Another elder said quite giddily. The speed of the girl is simply absurd and it just shows the prospect of being part of Prince's faction!
Giddily because what Xue Long can do! If he is to visit their Clan and could make a Martial Field that would be the happiest day in his life!
"That could be possible. This way we would be able to solve this animosity with Spirit Hall." Another elder agreed with a nod. Just like the previous one, he said that with a happy tone. He was thinking the same thing as the previous one!
'Martial field would make us have even more Titled Douluos!'
Tang Xiao was frowning more and more as he realised that he is losing elder support faster than it takes to prepare a cup of tea.
Xue Long is a delicate subject he tried to ignore since the Prince officially engaged with that Old Angel's granddaughter.
Now that they started to talk about Xue Long he can see that more than half elders want to have a good relationship with Spirit Hall and Heavenly Dou's Royal Family which non-officially are allies with Spirit Hall.
In other words, Spirit Hall can't truly align with an Empire as its favouritism on their part. But it's already a done deal since the girl is the granddaughter of the strongest elder and previous Supreme Pontiff.
So it's unofficially the biggest Alliance in Douluo Continent. An alliance so strong that Star Luo Empire pretending that it doesn't exist… making themselves look utterly dumb and waiting for this volcano to erupt with their assassination attempts.
'I am pretty sure once Prince Xue Long is Titled Douluo he will start to shake the continent from top to bottom.
And it's not going to be good for Star Luo Empire…
Not that it concerns us.' Tang Xiao thought to himself before thinking about the matter in front of him.
"Still… we need to remember that my brother, Tang Hao is the greatest Talent which has been produced since my grandfather, Tang Chen."
"Indeed. But which would you pick Clan Head? Tang Hao who is great talent indeed! Youngest Titled Douluo, reaching Rank 91 at age 44. However… in front of Xue Long who is only 11 and can fight Rank 98… and soon to be Titled Douluo with his cultivation speed. It's only a matter of time before he starts 'cleaning' rebellious elements from his Empire.
And since his future wife and Empress is Qian Xunji, daughter… he will have grievances with our Clan." The elder explained to Tang Xiao who had ugly look on his face.
He is placed with… very difficult choice here.
~~~~~~Xue Long~~~~~~
Spirit City is a beautiful city. It feels like it's detached from the rest of the world because of how purely it's made out of Spirit Masters.
Everyone here had some form of cultivation…but it's nothing compared with the Spirit Hall itself… it's like Heaven and Earth.
They have Palace where only Titled Douluos can stay. Other members are between Rank 70 to Rank 80. The level of this place is simply awe-inspiring for me in person.
My faction still has ways to go before it can reach the level of Spirt Hall.
Though… for now my attention is to my Fiance whose closeness reached 110% after Bibi Dong showed her care towards me.
As it is Qian Renxue is hugging my arm and is not letting it go.
"Should we get something to eat? Grandpa has given us some funds." I said that with a curious look as I saw a restaurant. It sells Spirit Beast Meat of quite considerable age.
That's quite expensive stuff. As keeping older beasts for cattle becomes quite difficult to do. But I am pretty sure Spirit Hall is keeping those beasts under a tight leash.
"...Sure…" The blonde said softly as she looked around.
Internally I snorted… is she thinking that her mother is stalking around and watching me? I can sense her in her Palace doing her paperwork so we are saved from the spider's attention.
Yet…she doesn't trust her senses…
"Well… let's get taste this out."
"...Sure… though I prefer if we eat in Heavenly Dou City…" The Blonde said with a cute frown on her face.
Now I rolled my eyes… after she saw how Bibi Dong was acting around me, my darling angel felt that she doesn't want to be in Spirit Hall anymore…
"You wanted to show the city. Xue'er. So let's enjoy it. Only us. Once we are back in the Empire's Capital we going to be surrounded by guards and servants…" The moment I said that, gears in her mind spun, and she relaxed and slowly smiled at me.
"Now that you mentioned… let me show you something in the city~"
'Much better now…'
~~~~~~Later~~~~~~
After spending a whole day exploring the city Xue Long and Qian Renxue returned to Spirit Hall.
The elders, from the lowest of Titled Douluo to highest… Super Douluo… not including the Worship ones wanted to get friends with the Prince…
Their goal? The Martial Field Creation. They all want those Famous Heaven and Earth Energies which are already famous throughout the continent.
It's not surprising that they all know how a broom Tool Spirit has beaten a Fire Shadow Martial Spirit… so it's only natural that they would love to see what will happen when their Martial Spirits get affected by it…
"I could make it here. But it's not as permanent as the one in my place. Reason for it because I am not living here."
The Crown Prince quickly explained to them. The whole group of Titled Douluos groaned with disappointment. They looked like kids instead of people in their 70 to 80…
"My Prince it would be not bad if you could enlist our help. I have heard that you have quite a bit of students now and many of them would need to visit Sunset Forest or Star Dou Forest for Spirit Rings. A Titled Douluo's help would fasten this process." A woman with purple hair said with a bright smile.
This was not Bibi Dong type of purple which is close to Pink… No, this one was Purple close to the Royal colour of the Byzantine Empire.
Plus the woman was quite beautiful… though Xue Long doesn't remember her from the books…
"True… are you proposing to work for my Academy as a teacher?" The Crown Prince said with a curious tone.
"...well…" Now she was conflicted, there was some hesitation on her face.
Then…
"I will allow it. Most of the Titled Douluos you see here Prince Xue Long are the one which never revealed themselves to the outside world. They are Spirit Hall hidden experts." Bibi Dong said that as she with her two bodyguards entered the hall.
That moment Qian Renxue pressed her Fiance's hand quite hard as she was in front of her THAT woman.
"This means you can easily pass them as experts who decided to serve you after they found out about your abilities to improve cultivation." The Supreme Pontiff said that with a smile.
By this point, it's obvious that this woman is pampering the prince almost to the same level as his father does…
While she said that her words made the Titled Douluos quite baffled and shocked. Though they all were very much happy to hear this!
"...Though in return, I ask you to create a proper Martial Field for us." She said that with a slightly hopeful tone.
"That's not a problem I can visit Spirit City several times per Month to re-empower the field."
This time Bibi Dong's eyes gleamed when she heard that! This is perfect! While his angel girl's eyes widened when she heard that.
"Perfect! This is a good arrangement." The Spider quickly sealed the deal and the Titled Douluos nodded to their Leader.
This arrangement is God send to them! Either way, they get something! Though… they would want to serve under the Prince…
Having Martial Avatars is a current trend which everyone wants to have!
