Chapter 3195: Construction of the Site_1

Chen Xin closed one eye and mockingly said, "What's the matter, old bones, you're not scared, are you??"

Gu Rong felt provoked and retorted with an annoyed face, "Nonsense, I don't even take Martial Soul City seriously!"

"It's just that I feel like Martial Soul Hall has some ulterior motive for choosing to hold the friendship competition there!"

Ning Fengzhi also found it somewhat reasonable, "Hmm, what Uncle Bone said isn't impossible, after all, Martial Soul Hall has always been ruthless in its actions. If an exceptionally talented student does emerge in the friendship competition, they will definitely try to recruit them in secret!"

"And if the person refuses, they will most likely face retaliation!"

He was all too aware of Pope Bibi Dong's methods!!

Otherwise, she couldn't have secured the position of Pope in such a short time!

After a pause, he continued, "But even if Martial Soul Hall has some purpose, since we've received Emperor Xue Ye's invitation, we must all go to Martial Soul City!"

The development of the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect couldn't be without the support of the royal household!!

Seeing this, Chen Xin said no more…

Impatiently waving his hand, he said, "Then stop wasting time and set off quickly, I'll take care of the sect!"

Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong exchanged a glance and quickly left the hall…

A few minutes later, Chen Xin sensed their presence with his spiritual power perception…

Only after confirming they had disappeared did he abruptly speak up, "Ning Rongrong, Feng Zhi and Uncle Bone are gone. You can come out now!"

It was then that Ning Rongrong, who had been hiding in the shadows, finally stepped forward…

Her eyes shining, she said, "Sword Grandpa, this friendship competition sounds like it could be really fun. Can I go?"

However, Gu Rong shook his head, "Ning Rongrong, you're mistaken. There's nothing fun about this competition, just a bunch of weak Soul Masters fighting each other!"

"If you go, you might find it so boring that you fall asleep watching!"

Ning Rongrong pouted her lips, "I see, but Xu Sheng from Pope Hall, who we met, is likely to participate, right?"

The only one from Pope Hall she felt positively about was Xu Sheng, who had helped her!

He replied subconsciously, "Of course he will, his strength is definitely stronger than other Soul Masters of his age!"

In the next second, after speaking, Chen Xin seemed to realize something…

He clenched his fists tightly and spat angrily, "No, that old guy Gu Rong did it on purpose!!"

"I wondered why Feng Zhi kept interrupting when he was speaking; it turns out he was trying to distract me!!"

If I had known earlier that Xu Sheng was going to be there, Gu Rong wouldn't have had the chance!!

…

Martial Soul City!

Looking at the Spirit Hall soldiers in front of him, all exhausted, Yueguan couldn't suppress his anger as he scolded, "You lot, don't you dare slack off, put some effort into it and finish building this venue today!!"

"Otherwise, if the Pope holds you accountable, you'll have no good end!!"

Upon hearing these words, the spirit of the Spirit Hall soldiers was jolted, and they started building again with renewed effort…

However, since they were not Soul Masters, their physical strength was ultimately limited…

Not even an hour had passed, and each of them was drenched in sweat, panting heavily…

Yueguan naturally noticed this scene and frowned…

Just as he was about to say something, a soldier standing beside him couldn't help but interrupt, "Um… Elder Ju, the venue for the friendship competition is huge and constructing it isn't a small feat. There's no need to rush, right?"

After listening, Yueguan immediately let out a cold laugh…

"Not rush?? The friendship competition is tomorrow. You're telling me not to rush? Fool!!"

Although the soldier was reluctant, he could only swallow his objections because of Yueguan's status…

He said cautiously, "But Elder Ju, if we continue this high-intensity construction, these Spirit Hall Soldiers might lose their lives!"

Those responsible for the construction were just ordinary Spirit Hall Soldiers, and most of them hadn't even awakened their Martial Souls—they simply couldn't endure it!

To this statement, Yueguan clearly showed disdain...

"Hmph, they would just lose their lives. Is that more important than getting the site built?"

There are plenty of soldiers in the Martial Soul Hall, losing some is not a problem!!

As long as the task given by His Holiness the Pope is completed, that's all that matters!

Still unwilling to give up, the former continued to try and reason, "Elder Ju..."

But before he could finish, Yueguan slapped him hard across the face...

"Shut up! Who are you to tell me how to do my job? Say one more word, and I'll build your head into the wall!!"

In the midst of his words, he noticed that these Spirit Hall Soldiers had collapsed onto the ground once more, further slowing the progress...

The rage in his eyes instantly intensified...

He couldn't help but curse, "What a bunch of useless trash, unable to complete even such a simple task. What does the Martial Soul Hall keep you for??"

But this time, their legs were soft, and they truly had no strength to stand up again...

At that moment, Black Mist suddenly appeared around them, and Gui Mei walked out from within it...

"Yueguan!"

Seeing him, Yueguan asked in surprise, "Lao Gui, why have you come? Has the task assigned by His Holiness the Pope been completed?"

Gui Mei nodded affirmatively, "Yes, it's been handled!"

Then, he turned to look at the Spirit Hall Soldiers who had collapsed on the ground and asked in confusion, "Yueguan, what's going on here? Didn't His Holiness the Pope send you to supervise the construction of the site?"

Yueguan glanced at the soldiers with disdain and said irritably, "Yeah, but these guys collapsed after just a short while of work!"

"At this rate, the construction might not even be finished by tomorrow noon!"

He seemed to have already envisioned the scene of his own punishment!

Gui Mei pursed his lips, then finally spoke, "They are just ordinary soldiers, without a trace of Soul Power inside them. Trying to build under such high intensity is probably not feasible!"

Yueguan patted his shoulder, "Lao Gui, what do you mean by that?? Are you suggesting we stop the construction?"

Gui Mei immediately countered, "Of course not!"

"If the site isn't built by tomorrow, the authority of the entire Martial Soul Hall will be compromised!!"

Yueguan urged, "Lao Gui, then what do you propose we do?"

After pondering for a moment, the latter answered, "The only option is to get the soldiers from the Sub-halls nearest to Martial Soul City to come and help!"

Only in this way can we finish the site on time!

Yueguan hesitated, "But... shouldn't we ask His Holiness the Pope about this kind of matter?"

Although they were Elders, they could not just issue orders rashly!

Seeing his hesitation, Gui Mei rolled his eyes and said, "Yueguan, at a time like this, you're still thinking about these things!"

"If you want to be reprimanded by His Holiness the Pope, then by all means, go ahead!!"

Yueguan immediately faltered and said with an awkward laugh, "I was just joking, just a joke. Let's do that then, it's better than delaying tomorrow's friendly match!"

After speaking, he turned to a soldier beside him and ordered, "You, immediately go inform the people from the Sub-halls to come to Martial Soul City at the fastest speed!!"
