Chapter 20 Six Years of Growth

Chapter 20 Six Years of Growth · Part 1

The startling wind blows away the sun, and the scenery flows westward. The heyday will never come again, and a hundred years have passed.

——Cao Zhi's "Konghou Yin"

…

Six years later.

Tiandou Empire.

Tiandou City.

The viewing pavilion in the backyard of the Prince's Mansion.

It was noon, and the sun was hanging from the sky, passing through the hollows on the eaves of the pavilion, and sprinkled on an ancient wooden chessboard, with black and white chess pieces on the chessboard arranged in an orderly manner.

Next to the chessboard, two men sat opposite each other.

The black-haired young man sat on one side of the chessboard, with a thoughtful light flashing in his deep eyes, and a head of shiny black short hair swaying gently in the breeze, looking mysterious and calm, confidently waiting for the young man opposite to take the next step.

The blond young man sat opposite, with a dazzling blond hair shining in the sun like an angel, sacred and solemn. He was smiling, his eyes revealed a kind of stability and confidence, and his gestures exuded a strong personality charm. But at this time, his brows were furrowed, thinking hard about how to find a way out in a murderous situation.

The atmosphere between the two was tense and harmonious, and every move was accompanied by a slight sound, echoing in the quiet air.

"Alas, I lost again, brother Wu Tong's chess skills are still so superb. The black and white chess you invented is really not simple. I have been groping for so long, but I am just getting started." After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't find a way to break the game. The blond young man sighed and chose to admit defeat.

"Brother Xue is too flattering. Your chess skills are already very strong, but you are just not familiar with the rules now. When you are familiar with the rules, you may be able to surpass me." The black-haired young man, Wu Tong, said modestly.

The blond young man called Brother Xue by Wu Tong was Xue Qinghe, the prince of Tiandou Empire, one of the two major empires today.

At the same time, she is also the Saint of the Spirit Hall, one of the three extreme Douluos, the granddaughter of Sky Invincible Qian Daoliu, and the daughter of Bibi Dong, the Pope of the Spirit Hall.

Qian Renxue looked at Wu Tong in front of her, and her heart was a little dazed. Even though six years had passed, she was still grateful for the recruitment at that time. The young man who caused a sensation among major forces at that time has now grown up and become a truly world-famous wise man.

When Wu Tong saw that Qian Renxue's eyes were a little scattered, he knew that she was distracted again. Shaking his head, he picked up the teacup next to him, brought it to his mouth, and took a sip. Well, not bad, it is worthy of the prince's tea, it is indeed a good tea, but why does it taste so much like the tea in his own Wutong Garden?

Just when Wu Tong was confused, Qian Renxue had come back to her senses and looked at Wu Tong and teased.

"Master Wu Tong, your reputation is now known to the world. What are you going to do next?"

"Brother Xue, I've said it many times, don't call me Master, this title makes me think of another 'Master'."

Wu Tong said helplessly to Qian Renxue, and now he finally understood the pain of Xiao Pang.

"Next, I should help Grandpa Dugu solve the poison in their family. He has come to me several times."

Wu Tong thought about it, and said with some helplessness in his tone.

"That's right, after all, Senior Du Douluo has come to you almost five or six times. If you don't help again, I'm afraid he will start to play rogue again."

Qian Renxue didn't feel surprised after hearing this. After all, anyone who knows the young man in front of him knows his quirk, that is, he will never touch the second thing before finishing one thing.

And Dugu Bo is unlucky. Every time he comes, Wu Tong has a task that he hasn't completed.

Dugu Bo had no other choice. He had tried everything he could and couldn't try, but he still couldn't solve the poison in his family. So now the most likely way to succeed was to get Wu Tong's help.

But Dugu Bo didn't dare to threaten Wu Tong. After all, if Wu Tong suffered a little loss, there would be no place for him in the entire Douluo Continent. After all, almost everyone in the entire Douluo Continent had received Wu Tong's favor.

Although Dugu Bo was not afraid of these people, he couldn't ignore Dugu Yan's safety.

What could he do? He couldn't fight, so he could only play rogue. In this way, Dugu Bo would throw a tantrum every time he came to Wu Tong, and he didn't look like a Titled Douluo at all. Over time, Wu Tong was annoyed and had a headache.

As for doubting whether Wu Tong could solve the poison that Dugu Bo, the Poison Douluo, was helpless against?

Qian Renxue just wanted to say that those who doubted really knew nothing about Wu Tong.

Who is Wu Tong?

The recognized number one wise man in the world in Douluo Continent, a famous master of martial soul research, and the Medicine Saint.

Even his own teacher Ning Fengzhi, who was always looking down on others, praised Wu Tong: "Whoever gets Wu Tong can get the world."

Just when Qian Renxue was about to continue speaking, a guard suddenly appeared behind Qian Renxue and said something to her.

Then Qian Renxue's eyes suddenly widened, as if she had encountered something incredible.

"Brother Wu Tong, I suddenly have something urgent to do, so I'll leave first. Brother Wu Tong, please do as you please."

After Qian Renxue finished speaking, she left in a hurry.

Wu Tong looked at the other party's leaving figure, puzzled, but his expression was a little dazed.

Has it been... six years?

For Wu Tong, these six years are enough to experience a lot of things.

After buying the soul guide, Wu Tong, who originally planned to continue to stay in Notting College, learned from Wu Tu and others after they came back that Mu Lan's martial soul had been strengthened as he expected.

This news made Wu Tong very excited. Although he thought his theory was fine, just like data verification, one success does not mean anything. Only when multiple data verifications are successful can the conclusion be proved to be correct. Wu Tong, who has basically confirmed the success of his theory, is naturally eager to try to compile the theory of martial soul evolution.

After spending several months compiling it, he plans to publish it after graduation, as a capital to earn the right to speak for himself in the future.

But what is unexpected is that when Wu Tong was resting, he did not put away the theory, and it was seen by Principal Charles who came to talk to Wu Tong.

After reading it, Principal Charles felt astonished and thought that Wu Tong could be like his good friend Yu Xiaogang, even if he had a useless martial soul, he could become a scholar studying martial souls.

So Charles, who was too excited, directly sent Wu Tong's theory to the Wuhun Monthly, a newspaper that can spread news on the mainland, ready to help his students make a name for themselves.

The reviewers of Wuhun Monthly did not care. After all, there were countless people who wanted to be famous. After reading the title, they were amused and thought it should be a fantasy story, so they directly registered it in the children's book section of Wuhun Monthly and published it.

Now, people who saw this theory, like bloodthirsty sharks suddenly smelling blood, became interested in Wu Tong, a theoretical researcher.

After Wu Tong learned about it, he had no choice but to end his life in advance and join a big force to seek shelter. And there are only three who can protect Wu Tong: Wuhun Hall, Tiandou Empire and Xingluo Empire.

Wuhun Hall has Bibi Dong, the pope. As Yu Xiaogang's old lover, she is likely to dislike him. After all, his theory may hit Yu Xiaogang, the master, who can destroy the world for Yu Xiaogang. So in order to avoid being stabbed with eight swords and forced to commit suicide, he must not go to Wuhun Hall.

In the Xingluo Empire, force is supreme, the law of the jungle prevails, the strong prey on the weak, and the fittest survive. Wu Tong, who has no strength, will definitely not be taken seriously if he goes, so he can't go.

Of the three forces that can protect him, two can't go. Then the only place he can go is the Tiandou Empire.

Because it is the closest, the people of the Tiandou Empire come the fastest. And the person who came to recruit him from the Tiandou Empire is the prince of the Tiandou Empire, Xue Qinghe, who has seen Wu Tong's theory and is very interested in Wu Tong.

Now Wu Tong made a decision directly. After all, the "Xue Qinghe" in front of him is not only the prince of the Tiandou Empire, but also the saint of the Spirit Hall, Qian Renxue.

As long as he accepts Qian Renxue's recruitment, he can not only get the protection of the Tiandou Empire, but also directly enter the high-level of the Spirit Hall, and achieve his original goal.
