Chapter 1060 (2/2)
The upcoming match filled everyone with antic.i.p.ation. It was going to be the first semifinal, the matchup between Golden Dragon King and Saber Demon!
In the Blood G.o.d Battalion, Blood One was seated at the very center with all of the other Blood G.o.ds sitting beside him, including the former Blood Nine. Even the vice-legion commanders were led here by the legion commander, Mirror Douluo Zhang Huanyun, to watch the match together with all of the Blood G.o.ds.
At this moment, there were over 15 t.i.tled Douluo sitting in the hall of the Blood G.o.d Battalion, and two of them were four-word battle armor masters.
There were definitely not more than four powers on the entire continent that could gather such an astonis.h.i.+ngly powerful group of Soul Masters.
Zhang Huanyun was sitting beside Blood One. ”Do you think he can win, Old Man Cao? Didn't you say that you a.s.signed him the mission to become the champion? Is there a punishment if he fails to complete the mission?”
Blood One replied calmly, ”That was all just empty talk; how was I supposed to know what kind partic.i.p.ants would appear in this compet.i.tion?”
”Hah?” Zhang Huanyun's lips twitched as he exclaimed, ”Aren't you being a little too wilful here?”
Blood One replied in an indifferent voice, ”If I weren't wilful, would I come to your sh*tty Blood G.o.d Legion to become Blood One?”
Everyone immediately had to hold back laughter upon hearing this. No other person in the legion dared to speak to Zhang Huanyun like this!
”Cao Dezhi!” Zhang Huanyun gritted his teeth, but a smile soon appeared on his face as he suggested, ”How about we make an arrangement here? You see, all of the Blood G.o.d berths in your Blood G.o.d Battalion have already been filled, so he's completely superfluous to your needs. In contrast, I need a successor who can truly bear the weight of the entire legion on their shoulders! If you give him to me, I'll make sure to train him to the best of my abilities, and he'll at least be able to carry the entire legion for the next century. On top of that, with his unique set of abilities, perhaps he'll be able to completely eradicate the threat of the abyssal plane within the next century.”
Blood One poked a finger into his own ear and dug around a little. ”What did you say? I couldn't hear you clearly.”
”Just you wait!” Zhang Huanyun grumbled.
Blood Two couldn't help but interject, ”Stop trying to take Wulin from us, Old Man Zhang; you think you're the only one looking for a successor? Besides, Wulin's destined to leave the Blood G.o.d Legion someday anyway.”
Zhang Huanyun's brows furrowed slightly upon hearing this. He was naturally already aware of Tang Wulin's backstory.
”That may not necessarily be true.” The one who had spoken was Blood One.
Zhang Huanyun's eyes immediately lit up. ”Oh? Are you saying you can keep him here? Your Tang Sect recommended him here; if you can keep him in the legion, I wouldn't even mind if he stays in the Blood G.o.d Battalion!”The Blood G.o.d Battalion was a part of the Blood G.o.d Legion, so as long as Tang Wulin was willing to remain in the battalion, he would definitely be fighting for the legion in the future anyway.
Cao Dezhi replied, ”We'll have to wait and see; everything will depend on how fast he can grow and develop. Huanyun, if we really eradicate the threat of the abyssal plane someday, what are you planning to do?”
Zhang Huanyun faltered slightly upon hearing this. He had never even considered this notion as he didn't think that he'd be able to resolve the issue of the abyssal plane in his lifetime.
”I've never thought about this, but if it really does happen, then I'll naturally go off on a journey to pursue those ethereal things.”
Even though he hadn't yet reached the Limit Douluo level, he was only one step away. The reason why he held Tang Wulin in such high regard was because the life tide that had just taken place not long ago had finally opened up that door to him. All he needed now was to make sure he could take this final step without falling over.
