The Royal Knights shattered all the boulders, allowing the academies to continue on their way.
Although the enemies retreated, their side wasn't doing too well either. Some needed to heal, like Qin Ming and Flander; some were recovering their soul power, like Tianlin and the Royal Fight Team; and some were sulking, like Ning Rongrong.
On the other hand, Tang San, the culprit of this incident, was completely fine. He was now sitting in Ning Fengzhi and Yu Yuanzhen's carriage, asking about the cause and effect of the matter.
Of course, Ning Fengzhi couldn't tell him everything, only that this matter was related to his father and the Clear Sky Sect. He wanted to use this father and son to drag out the Clear Sky Sect, which had been in hiding for over a decade.
With Ning Fengzhi's intelligence, how could he not perceive the ambition of the Spirit Hall, or rather, Bibi Dong? The Spirit Hall was already stronger than the Upper Three Sects combined, and now the Lower Four Sects were all attached to the Spirit Hall. If they continued as before, they would likely be defeated one by one.
If Tianlin knew what Ning Fengzhi was thinking at this moment, he would definitely give him a thumbs up. In the original story, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family were destroyed in this way. He had foresight, so he had been working hard to strengthen the sect and overcome the disaster, while Ning Fengzhi was purely guessing.
The only pity was that Ning Fengzhi could not guess the specific time of Bibi Dong's actions, and even Tianlin was not sure now. After all, with his arrival, the sect had become much stronger, and it was hard to guarantee that the Spirit Hall would not start its actions earlier in the future to avoid adding variables.
It seemed that after the Predict Future skill cooled down, he would have to use it again within the sect to determine the accurate time of the opponent's attack.
That night, the main force finally arrived at Spirit City. After getting off the carriage, Tianlin clearly felt that Tang San was much more polite, probably because he had a good impression of Ning Fengzhi.
However, his thoughts remained unchanged. He would still take over the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in the future. At worst, he would continue to let Ning Fengzhi be the sect master of this Tang Sect's affiliated sect, which would be considered a repayment for today's life-saving grace.
It was a pity that Tianlin didn't use Soul Reading on him now, otherwise, knowing his thoughts, he would definitely not be able to resist using the Demon Sword to chop him. Tang San was probably the only one who could talk about repaying kindness with enmity in such a fresh and refined way.
Xue Qinghe, as the Crown Prince of Heaven Dou, was assigned a different residence from the contestants, so he didn't continue to pull Tianlin along. Moreover, Tianlin's soul power had basically recovered, so she could safely let him leave.
Tianlin also didn't plan to continue following Xue Qinghe. After all, this was her home. It was rare to return home, and he estimated that she would definitely find a chance to see her grandfather.
Returning to the Royal Fight Team's side, Tianlin helped Qin Ming back to rest. He was hit by Chrysanthemum Douluo's soul skill today and was seriously injured.
"Xiao Tian, thank you today. If you hadn't arrived in time, I and Dean Flander would have probably died in battle," Qin Ming said gratefully.
"It's nothing, Teacher Qin. You were able to risk your life for your teacher, so can't I?" Tianlin said with a smile.
Looking at Tianlin's still somewhat immature young face, Qin Ming was very moved. Such a child stood in front of a Titled Douluo when he was injured, and even said to that Titled Douluo that if he dared to hurt him again, he would kill him. What courage was that?
Thinking of this, Qin Ming suddenly subconsciously said, "Xiao Tian, do you remember when you invited me to join your sect during the Titled Ceremony? Does that invitation still count?"
If Tianlin's act of giving him the Purple Gold Pill was to make him grateful, then Tianlin's life-saving rescue today completely shook his heart, which originally only wanted to be a free Soul Master.
"Of course, I will always welcome Teacher Qin to come with all my heart," Tianlin said happily.
People like the Peerless Dragon Serpent couple, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, and others, Tianlin had calculated their entry into the sect step by step, but today, he had not thought of this at all. He simply wanted to protect his friends and teachers, but he didn't expect that he would unintentionally achieve something.
This was the so-called treating people with sincerity, and people will repay you with sincerity.
After telling Qin Ming to rest well, Tianlin walked out of the room. The others in the Royal Fight Team were also standing worriedly at the door.
Tianlin smiled and comforted them, "Don't worry, Teacher Qin is fine. Although he was injured, he will recover as before after taking my Pill and recuperating for a while. However, he probably won't be able to come and direct our tactics for the first few games of the finals. We have to rely on ourselves."
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Oslo said indifferently, "So what? With our strength, even if we have no tactics at all, we can crush the other academies."
"That's right, with Xiao Tian here, even if we encounter the Spirit Hall Academy, they won't be able to win," Dugu Yan patted Tianlin's shoulder. Although she had always said she would protect this younger brother, she knew that Tianlin's true strength was actually stronger than all the others in the Royal Fight Team combined.
"Yanzi, it's not just Xiao Tian, I'm here too. I'm the captain of the Royal Fight Team, and your fiancé. Can you have a little more confidence in me?" Yu Tianheng said jealously.
Dugu Yan glanced at him, "Wait until you become a Soul King first. Still calling him Xiao Tian? Gu Ran has already surpassed you."
"Yanzi, don't worry, it won't be long before I surpass Gu Ran," Yu Tianheng said confidently. Although that guy Gu Ran had overtaken him on a curve, making him unconvinced for a long time, after the Deathmatch with the Soul Sage, he found that his bottleneck had loosened. He was confident that he could break through to level 50 in a short time.
It was just a pity that this was Spirit City, and the finals were approaching. Even if he completed the breakthrough, he would not be able to hunt Soul Beasts to advance to Soul King.
However, what he didn't know was that inside Tianlin's belt, there was a large dinosaur hidden, a gift originally prepared for Yu Tianheng or Dugu Yan.
Now it seems, this gift will most likely belong to Yu Tianheng.
Three days later, in front of the Pope's Palace, the opening ceremony of the finals finally officially began.
Fifteen teams each from Heaven Dou and Star Luo qualified, plus the teams directly admitted from the two great empires and Spirit Hall, totaling thirty-three teams. They were all elites of the younger generation on this continent, symbolizing the future of the continent.
Teams that can enter the finals are not weak. From here on, Senior Huan Yin will basically no longer appear. The Royal Fight's control-type Soul Master has been replaced by Dugu Yan, and they will face the battles with their full main force lineup.
Bibi Dong did not participate in the opening ceremony. She usually only shows up after the top three Academies appear, which made Tianlin a little disappointed. He originally wanted to see what the legendary female Pope of the original work looked like.
How beautiful does one have to be to turn an Angel Douluo into a Secret Chamber Douluo?
