Douluo: Becoming the Taoist Priest from the Enlightenment Tree

Chapter 44: The Battle of Orthodoxy
Xu Yang couldn't help but curse.

"Let's wait and see when your soul guide can stabilize and not explode. We often hear of soul masters who use soul guides being injured by explosions. If it weren't for the senior's intervention today, you would have been wiped out long ago."

Yue Hongchen fell silent. Although he wanted to say that it was just an accident, it would seem like he was ungrateful for his senior’s kindness, so he did not refute.

After hearing the two people's explanations, Di Tian had a rough idea of ​​what this thing created by humans was.

He couldn't help but feel alarmed by the rapid development of mankind. Those explosions were nothing to him, but if the amount was larger, it would be a threat to ordinary soul beasts.

"But how did you get to this point? You have to fight to the death for this thing?"

Di Tian touched his chin, his face full of curiosity. It was strange that Xu Yang would rather die than admit that his weapons were backward.

They both fell silent for a long time before Xu Yang spoke slowly.

"Our situation is actually quite normal. The dispute between the old and the new in the country is raging and in full swing. Whenever the two sides meet, they are on edge and will fight if they disagree."

"My school has always taught me to resist and hate soul guides. There is great terror between life and death. Now I have barely woken up and no longer look at others with tinted glasses."

"But other people in the country may not think so. In other words, even if they know they are lagging behind, they still have to insist on the view that the weapon is the strongest for the sake of their own interests."

"This is a battle for orthodoxy. The winner takes all. The winner will receive royal resources and can develop rapidly, while the loser will be completely defeated and barely survive under the ridicule of others."

"Looking back now, I've actually gone crazy. We're no longer suppressing the other party for the sake of revitalizing our own school, but simply suppressing the other party for the sake of suppressing the other party."

Xu Yang sighed, with unspeakable sorrow in his eyes.

Yue Hongchen looked at Xu Yang in astonishment, recalling what his elders had said to him every day. Now he realized that weapons did not seem to be without merit.

"Humph, given human nature, they will do anything for the sake of profit."

Di Tian snorted coldly, which reminded him of humans hunting soul beasts for soul bones.

The two of them were startled and overturned their previous guesses, and had an even more unbelievable idea in their minds.

"What are you going to do next?"

Di Tian looked at the two of them with interest and asked.

"I will follow your instructions, senior."

The two of them quickly straightened their postures and replied cautiously.

"Then you can collect the information about the war weapons and soul guides for me. I want to see them next time I come to see you."

Di Tian couldn't think of what to let the two people do for a while, so he asked them to collect information in this regard. Since they had a deep understanding of it, they were the most suitable candidates to collect information.

"Yes!"

"But, Senior, we are weak and may not be able to collect much information."

The two men looked ashamed. Even though they fought so fiercely, they were actually marginal figures in the school. They were almost thirty years old and only in their thirties, and were not taken seriously by the senior figures.

"Collect as much as you can, and we also need your data in all aspects."

Di Tian didn't care how much these two collected. It was just a casual chess piece, so failure didn't matter much.

Di Tian placed his hands on the two men’s heads, while continuously outputting his soul power.

Taking his hand back, Di Tian looked at the two of them seriously.

"Don't have any bad thoughts. I have left marks on you. Even if you run to the ends of the earth, I will be able to find you. By then, neither you nor anyone around you will be able to escape."

In fact, the two of them had no intention of resisting. After all, they were only in their thirties. How could they have the intention of betraying such a strong senior?

Di Tian brought the two men out of the forest, to prevent them from dying before they could accomplish their mission. Judging from their physical condition, it would be difficult for them to get out of the forest.

The two were shocked to see that they were outside the forest in the blink of an eye. They could not help but stare with their mouths wide open. "Space... Space transfer!"

Who on earth is this powerful person? They have never heard of any powerful person in the country being able to use this thing. Even the high and mighty Titled Douluo has not released any news about this.

"The power of space——"

Yue Hongchen couldn't help but murmured that their school had been constantly trying to develop soul guides in new fields, and storage soul guides were also a major topic, but there had been no results so far, and some people even suggested temporarily abandoning research in this area.

Yue Hongchen's subconscious reaction was that this was a good candidate for researching storage soul guides.

"Okay, I'm leaving now. Remember, don't have any bad thoughts. Think about the people around you."

Di Tian left these words and disappeared in front of the two.

"That——X2"

"We - X2"

They were both stunned for a moment, then smiled at each other.

After this strange experience, the two found that they did not have any major conflicts with each other, and the previous life-and-death battle was nothing more than the thoughts constantly instilled in them by their elders.

But both of them have died once, so they don't take these things so seriously.

"That senior..."

Yue Hongchen wanted to say something but stopped, and wanted to say something but still wanted to.

"Don't think too much. We are just little soul masters at level 30. If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. We just need to take care of our own little family."

Xu Yang's face was grim. He thought of his sister who was still at home and wondered why he was so stupid to abandon his sister, who depended on him for everything, to die for the illusory dispute over orthodoxy.

"Too."

Recalling the warmth of home, Yue Hongchen couldn't help but reveal a happy smile on her face.

"Let's go. We still have tasks for our seniors. I don't know when they will be back."

Yue Hongchen stretched out her hand in front of Xu Yang with a faint smile on her face.

"Ah."

Xu Yang hesitated for a moment, hummed softly, then put his hand on it and let Yue Hongchen support him back.

"I remember you seem to have a younger sister, right?"

"Get lost!!! You bastard, don't try to hit on my sister!"

The afterglow of the setting sun fell on the two of them, covering them with a hazy veil. Their shadows on the ground grew longer and longer, swaying continuously.

"I'm exhausted."

Wu Dao suddenly appeared on the shore of the Lake of Life, his face pale and his body shaking slightly.

He really didn't expect that Shura's power was much more difficult than the evil god's power. It took him a lot of energy to study it thoroughly.

However, to be on the safe side, Wu Dao did not completely remove all of the Asura power from the Silver Dragon King. Instead, he left a wound to prevent the Asura God from noticing that the Silver Dragon King had recovered from his injury.

So far, it is better for them to be more cautious. After all, except Gu Yuena, no one can beat the god, and Wu Dao’s current accumulation is still too little.

However, there is no need for the Silver Dragon King now. It is enough to have a few ferocious beasts to show up on a daily basis. The Silver Dragon King can only suffer and continue to maintain his injuries for the time being.

"but……"

　The great friendship between the ancestor Hongchen and the ancestor of the Xu family began from here!
