Nan Shuishui temporarily set the time limit at 3 years. If Nan Qiuqiu could raise her cultivation by 8 levels within 3 years, then it could be extended for another 2 years.
5 years later, Nan Qiuqiu would be 25 years old, an age where she should be discussing marriage. At that point, this contract would be dissolved.
Tang Ya agreed without another word. A disciple delivered to her for free, how could she not want her? If the Earthdragon Sect tried to go back on their word, then she would close the door and release Su Yunlin!
Nan Shuishui nodded. "Good. Then Qiuqiu will be left in your care. As long as you aren't deliberately bullying her, being a little strict with her is fine. This girl has been spoiled by me since she was young.
"This time, consider it a price she must pay for her own mistake. She deserves to learn a lesson. Right, where is your Tang Sect located? After this tournament ends, I will personally come visit."
Tang Ya said proudly, "Our Tang Sect is in Spirit City!"
Nan Shuishui was also somewhat surprised. This Tang Sect was actually in Spirit City. In her heart, she had already formed some guesses. Could this Tang Sect be the once-fallen Tang Sect reviving from the ashes?
After all, as someone from the Heavenly Soul Empire, she naturally knew the legends of Tang Sect. Their Earthdragon Sect was also a sect with a long history. Tracing back its history, the Earthdragon Sect had existed for at least more than 5,000 years.
After handing Nan Qiuqiu over to the Tang Sect group, Nan Shuishui left.
Nan Qiuqiu remained where she was, at a loss. Tears instantly flowed down her face.
"Tsk, tsk. Qiuqiu, our Tang Sect isn't some dragon's den or tiger's lair. What are you crying for? Joining Tang Sect is good for you. Right, welcome to Tang Sect."
At this moment, Tang Wutong had already switched into Wang Dong form. That face directly struck Nan Qiuqiu's heart like an arrow.
That arrow was called love.
"Wow, Wang Dong, you're so nice!"
Nan Qiuqiu directly threw herself into Wang Dong's arms and hugged Wang Dong.
Everyone from Tang Sect let out bursts of exclamation. Only Su Yunlin's face turned dark.
"Wang Dong, you're clearly a big man, so why are you so soft?" Nan Qiuqiu hugged Tang Wutong, feeling that Tang Wutong was not like other men.
"Get up. That's my spot!"
Su Yunlin directly pulled Nan Qiuqiu away. Then he suddenly realized that he seemed to have said something extremely suggestive just now.
"Oh~ Your spot!" Xu Sanshi instantly seized the opportunity. He had been tricked by Su Yunlin earlier, so he had to regain some ground.
"Oh~"
The other Tang Sect members also started laughing and jeering.
Su Yunlin's face instantly turned as red as a red-skinned duck. His toes felt as though they could dig out a whole apartment.
"Alright~"
Tang Wutong directly hugged Su Yunlin's head and spoke gently.
"Wah! Tongtong, they're bullying me~"
Tang Wutong smiled warmly. "Hehe. This place was always Yunlin's. You are mine, and I am yours."
Everyone from Tang Sect was instantly stuffed full of dog food and walked away one after another. Only Nan Qiuqiu's worldview was being reshaped.
The handsome Wang Dong she had just fallen for was actually a girl! And she even had a boyfriend.
She had just felt the sensation of love, only to fall out of love immediately. Nan Qiuqiu froze in place, her entire being seeming to exude desolation.
Next was the Holy Spirit Sect against Heaven Capital Academy.
Hearing the name Holy Spirit Sect, everyone from Tang Sect immediately became alert. They all knew this was the Holy Spirit Cult's disguise.
The Holy Spirit Cult was participating in the tournament so openly, yet the Sun Moon Empire showed no reaction at all. Clearly, they had already allied with them.
The first student from Heaven Capital Academy was killed. His soul had been drained dry. Su Yunlin and Tang Wutong saw it even more clearly: that Evil Spirit Master had sucked that student's brain matter completely dry as well.
"Everyone, I'll emphasize this again. If you encounter that Holy Spirit Sect, you may use all your trump cards and annihilate them completely. I'll take responsibility for everything!" Su Yunlin said in a deep voice.
The Tang Sect group nodded. This time, aside from participating in the tournament, they had other missions as well.
Very soon, the first round of matches ended. Half of the teams were eliminated, and immediately afterward came the second round.
In the first round of the elimination matches, Shrek Academy had priority and fought in the first match. Their opponent was the Heavenly Armor Sect.
They were the Heavenly Armor Sect that Shrek and Tang Sect had encountered on the way to Radiant City. They were a sect from the Dou Ling Empire, strict in discipline and with a fairly good atmosphere.
The first person Shrek Academy sent up was Wu Feng. She won 2 matches in a row, then admitted defeat and left the stage. Clearly, this was a tactic.
After that, Xie Huanyue, He Caitou, and the others all admitted defeat after winning 2 matches each. Just like that, they won the individual matches with ease.
Next was the team battle. Di Ruiqiu personally went onstage. The moment Di Ruiqiu appeared, everyone present froze. How could there be such a beautiful woman?
On the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy's side.
Xiao Hongchen frowned. "Meng, don't you think this woman is a little strange?"
"What's strange?"
Xiao Hongchen said seriously, "Don't you think she looks a lot like Su Yunlin and Tang Wutong?"
Meng Hongchen also looked carefully, then nodded. "Oh~ She really does. How could there be such a coincidence?"
...
Team battle.
The Heavenly Armor Sect displayed a seven-in-one combination technique, which made many teams exclaim in amazement.
What shocked them even more was that such a powerful Heavenly Armor Sect was actually instantly defeated so easily. That Spirit Emperor main attacker from Shrek Academy had shattered the seven-in-one combination technique in the most violent way possible. She was truly powerful.
At Tang Sect's side.
"They've improved so much," Huo Yuhao sighed.
Xu Sanshi placed one hand on Bei Bei's shoulder. "Looks like we're going to feel some pressure."
Su Yunlin rubbed his chin and analyzed, "Ning Tian's support, plus Cao Jinxuan, allowed Di Ruiqiu to briefly reach Spirit Sage-level combat power. Their cooperation is quite tacit.
"Looks like in this tournament, they might really become our opponents. Of course, that's assuming I don't act."
After watching the match, the Tang Sect group left one after another. Some returned to the hotel to rest, while others went to carry out missions.
For example, Huo Yuhao had been assigned a difficult mission: plunder rare metals in Radiant City. Plunder as much as possible. If he ran out of money, he could go to Ning Tian for funds. If he could not handle it, he could call Su Yunlin. Su Yunlin could go rob them.
Now that the two continents were once again on the eve of war, Su Yunlin naturally had to think of ways to bring down the Sun Moon Empire.
For example, stealing the Sun Moon Empire's arsenal, striking the Sun Moon Empire's army, killing Xu Tianran, and so on.
However, there was a rule: in the war between both sides, they had to uphold the principle of not attacking the Sun Moon Empire's civilians.
Su Yunlin wanted to conquer the Sun Moon Continent and make the Douluo Continent and Sun Moon Continent become one whole!
Moreover, he had to ensure the safety of the common people. Otherwise, just like the Radiant City explosion in the original worldline, the final beneficiary would be the Holy Spirit Cult. The Holy Spirit Cult directly gorged itself in that conflict, greatly increasing its foundation.
Ye Xishui's Death God Pagoda also evolved into a soul tool close to level 10 because of the Radiant City explosion.
Su Yunlin absolutely would not allow such a thing to happen.
Su Yunlin suddenly felt that his cultivation was still somewhat insufficient. If he had known earlier, he would have taken in the Myriad Demon King back then. With the Myriad Demon King's support, whether it was assassinating Xu Tianran or fighting the Holy Spirit Cult in later missions, he would have had ample confidence.
The Myriad Demon King possessed plant and poison attributes. In addition, what he was actually best at was Spiritual Power. According to the Myriad Demon King's own description, his Spiritual Power was much stronger than an ordinary Ultimate Douluo's.
In the Myriad Demon King's view, his Spiritual Power was only inferior to the Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler and the Iceworm that had escaped. In terms of Spiritual Power, even Di Tian was only about the same as the Myriad Demon King.
If the Myriad Demon King became Su Yunlin's Spirit Soul, he would grant Su Yunlin an external Spirit Bone called "Demon Eye."
The Demon Eye could greatly increase Su Yunlin's Spiritual Power and allow him to obtain many Spiritual Power-based attack methods.
With the Spiritual amplification of the Demon Eye stacked on top of the Evil God Thorn, Su Yunlin refused to believe he would be unable to break through Xu Tianran's turtle shell.
"Hiss, could the external Spirit Bone be directly attached to my eyes? Then stacked with Purple Demon Eyes, while the third eye on my forehead is reserved for the Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler?"
Su Yunlin had a bold idea.
