Chapter 121: Brother Jiang Chen, You're Right! I Can't Lose Her!
To think that he, the mighty Tower Master of the Spirit Transmission Tower, would one day find himself afraid to investigate his own subordinates.
Wasn't it said that soul beasts stayed out of the Tower's internal struggles?
Qian Gu Dongfeng couldn't understand what methods the Leng family had used to gain the support of the soul beast faction.
What could the Leng family possibly offer them?
Everything they had, the Qian Gu family had as well—and everything they lacked, the Qian Gu family possessed in abundance!
Bang!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
These were external spirit bones that even he himself hadn't been willing to use!
"Leng Yaozhu!"
"Grandfather? Who made you angry? Tell your grandson—I'll go beat them up for you!"
The office door opened, and in walked the only person with the privilege to enter unannounced: the carefully cultivated heir of the Qian Gu family—Qian Gu Zhangting.
He was currently the most outstanding junior of the Qian Gu family, personally trained by Dongfeng himself to eventually inherit the position of Tower Master.
The Spirit Transmission Tower held elections every four years, though typically each Tower Master served consecutive terms. Frequent leadership changes would severely impact the Qian Gu family's development.
Unless someone proved utterly incompetent or lacked the strength of a Limit Douluo, the Tower rarely lacked prodigies capable of reaching that pinnacle.
Currently, the only person who could threaten his successor was Vice Master Leng Yaozhu—a rank-98 Super Douluo.
If she ever achieved rank 99 and became a Limit Douluo, she would undoubtedly challenge for the Tower Master position during the transition period between his reign and the next Qian Gu heir.
This was inevitable—unless he abandoned his ambitions of reaching the divine realm and becoming a Quasi-God.
Otherwise, he would eventually have to step down and enter seclusion.
His chosen successor was none other than the pride of the Qian Gu family—Qian Gu Zhangting!
"It's nothing, Grandfather isn't angry. Just focus on your cultivation," he said, forcing calm into his voice.
But discovering that those two sisters' personal disciples now possessed such extraordinary talent posed a tremendous threat to the Qian Gu family.
"It seems their support goes far beyond just spirit bones."
"Zhangting, you must work twice as hard. The position of Tower Master can only belong to our Qian Gu family!"
One year later marked the opening day of Douluo University.
The news had spread throughout the entire Federation, and the opening ceremony drew unprecedented attention.
From East Sea Academy, all members of the third-year Zero Class were admitted.
Mu Xi, as the daughter of a Saint Craftsman, naturally possessed exceptional forging talent and was also included in the admission list.
Most importantly, the Seven-Star Saint Craftsman Mu Chen had successfully broken through this year, achieving the rank of Eight-Star Saint Craftsman!
Truly worthy of being Divine Craftsman Zhen Hua's junior brother.
Ouyang Zixin, who also demonstrated considerable talent in mecha design, was similarly admitted. East Sea City already ranked first in the Federation's eastern region for mecha-related fields.
If they waited just two more years for the next Tianhai Grand Tournament, claiming first place would be effortless.
After explaining everything clearly to Tang Wulin, Ouyang Zixin had disappeared from his sight, seemingly avoiding him on purpose.
The few times they did encounter each other, she passed by without speaking.
All he knew was that Ouyang Zixin had dated Xu Xiaoyu, though they broke up after just six months.
When Tang Wulin first heard the news, he hid under his blanket and cried for a whole day—then later burst out laughing.
Most crucially, Xu Xiaoyu hadn't been admitted to Douluo University. Not only had the entire Xu family concentrated all their resources on cultivating Xu Xiaoyan due to her martial soul's potential, abandoning support for other family members, but his stubborn and arrogant personality had made him unpopular with the family elders—earning him even less backing.
Though his soul power still exceeded Tang Wulin's, in an actual arena battle, Tang Wulin was confident he could easily defeat him!
How unpredictable life was.
I'll prove to Senior Sister that I'm the best choice!
On the same train, Xie Xie nudged Tang Wulin beside him, speaking with exasperation. "Stop staring! She made herself crystal clear to you—why are you still obsessing? Want to be a simp forever?"
"But they broke up!" Tang Wulin's face flushed red, like someone whose deepest secret had been exposed.
At that moment, Mu Xi, Ouyang Zixin, and Xu Xiaoyan sat directly in front of them. No matter how quietly they spoke, every word was audible.
The train seats were arranged three across. He wasn't sitting with Xue Di, Gu Yue, and Huo Yun'er—they occupied the row behind. Instead, he sat beside Tang Wulin near the window, watching the scenery pass by.
He had also heard that utterly speechless comment.
"Dude, what happened to you? How did you become like this?"
Romance Continent syndrome had taken effect.
Though the Douluo Continent got mocked for its romantic themes, at least the relationships were generally faithful and pure.
What about Fire Phoenix Ma Hongjun, you ask?
The poor guy didn't even bring his wife to the God Realm—he ended up alone and miserable. Wasn't that punishment enough?
Instead of responding, Tang Wulin pulled out his phone and sent Jiang Chen a message.
He had changed his username to something more dramatic.
[Time Will Prove Everything] (Tang Wulin): "Brother Jiang Chen, I want to ask you something."
[In This Life, I Shall Suppress All] (Jiang Chen): "Go ahead."
[Time Will Prove Everything] (Tang Wulin): "How do I make someone who doesn't love me fall in love with me?"
Jiang Chen: ...
He glanced casually at Tang Wulin. If Tang San wasn't currently in a coma due to Gu Yue's attack, seeing his precious son turn into this would probably give the God King a heart attack.
After a moment of contemplation, he sent back a reply:
"You're still young. You don't need to think about these things yet. When you become truly powerful in the future, you can have any woman you want—as long as you're strong enough!"
[Time Will Prove Everything] (Tang Wulin): "No! I only love her! I can't wait anymore! I can't let anyone hurt her again!"
"Brother Jiang Chen, do you think I'm pathetic? With my current strength, I should be able to defeat him easily, but when the moment comes, I don't dare make a move!"
"If it were you, Brother Jiang Chen, what would you do?"
[In This Life, I Shall Suppress All] (Jiang Chen): "I would focus wholeheartedly on cultivation, work hard to reach the ultimate level, and prove my worth by becoming a god."
[Time Will Prove Everything] (Tang Wulin): "Brother Jiang Chen, you're absolutely right! I need to reach the ultimate level and prove my divinity! I'll stay by her side and protect her forever, ensuring no one can ever hurt her again!"
Jiang Chen: ???
Who the hell turned Tang Wulin into this?
Was this even the same Tang Wulin anymore?
