Hence, Sima Jinchi had already resigned himself to his fate; he would just have to follow Tang Wulin wherever he went.
After arriving at the Tang Sect's underground world, both Sima Jinchi and A'Ruheng were also given a huge shock.
”The Tang Sect has an amazing place like this? This is right under Heaven Dou City! How do the authorities not know anything about this? This is insane! If the Tang Sect wanted to destroy a city, they would probably be able to do so even easier than Shrek City was destroyed!” A'Ruheng was truly stunned by this underground Tang Sect world.
Tang Wulin said in a serious voice, ”Senior Disciple Brother, Brother Sima, you have to keep everything about this underground world strictly confidential. This is the Tang Sect's biggest secret. Oh, by the way, His Majesties, the Amorous Douluo and Blood One have already pa.s.sed down the position of Tang Sect Master to me.”
Sima Jinchi and A'Ruheng couldn't help but exchange an astonished glance upon hearing this. They were both well aware of what this entailed.
The fact that the Tang Sect was able to become one of the four supporting pillars of the Blood G.o.d Legion was a testament to its status. Compared to the Spirit PaG.o.da, the Tang Sect flew more so under the radar, and its main source of income and expansion lay in its research and development, as well as production into soul tools.
Compared to the Spirit PaG.o.da, the Tang Sect had a longer history, and it had always shared an extremely close bond with Shrek Academy.
However, at the same time, the Tang Sect was more understated than the Spirit PaG.o.da, so no one knew just how powerful it was.
Back when the Tang Sect headquarters had been bombed, many people had thought that it was over for the Tang Sect. In particular, the Tang Sect had been constantly shrinking following the bombing, to the extent that it had almost disappeared from the public eye, but who could've imagined that the Tang Sect would have an underground world like this?
These ancient sects really couldn't be judged by normal standards! Their wealth and power were simply unimaginable.
They all knew that Tang Wulin's objective for returning to Heaven Dou City was to revive Shrek Academy in the near future, but at the same time, they knew just how arduous an undertaking that was going to be.
However, when they saw the unfathomable foundation that the Tang Sect had retained coupled with the fact that Tang Wulin was now the Tang Sect Master, they were finally beginning to be convinced that everything Tang Wulin wanted to achieve didn't seem to be impossible after all.
Tang Wulin had contacted his friends via soul communicator, asking them to wait on the drill ground, so he took A'Ruheng and Sima Jinchi there directly. For everyone's safety, he invited the Light Dark Douluo and the Holy Spirit Douluo as referees and for supervision purposes.
After all, at their levels of power, it wouldn't be that easy to hold back during their sparring matches, so they could easily hurt one another if they weren't careful.
By the time they arrived at the drill ground, the Holy Spirit Douluo was already sitting with her eyes closed on a chair at the edge of the drill ground, and she seemed to be meditating. She was still as beautiful as ever, but Tang Wulin couldn't help but feel sad every time he saw her as he could no longer sense any vitality from her. She was dead on the inside.
Elder Long had also arrived, and she was saying something to Xu Lizhi in a quiet voice. Xu Lizhi was listening in an extremely animated and focused manner, and his chubby cheeks were jiggling slightly with his excitement.
Long Yeyue had accepted Xu Lizhi as her disciple following the Sea G.o.d Fate Match-making Convention and began to instruct him in his cultivation. However, the academy had been bombed not long after they had returned from the demonic island, so he didn't actually get a chance to learn from Elder Long for a very long time. Now that he was reunited with his teacher, Xu Lizhi was naturally in extremely high spirits.
As soon as Sima Jinchi strode into the drill ground, he immediately sensed something, and he cast his gaze toward a certain direction to find a young woman appraising him while sitting on the ground with her legs crossed.
Their eyes met, and Sima Jinchi clearly felt a faint hint of pain spear through his mind. At the same time, he also immediately identified this young woman.
Wasn't she the swordswoman who had given him quite a tough fight during the Star Battle Net Inter-federation Compet.i.tion? Was she one of Shrek's Seven Monsters as well?
He had originally been very relaxed, just like A'Ruheng, but a hint of wariness welled up in his heart at the sight of Ye Xinglan.
Even though he had already reached the t.i.tled Douluo level, he wasn't allowed to use his battle armor during this sparring match.
