The four people were Yuanen Zhentian, Yuanen Tiandang, Qilin Douluo Tong Yu, and also the Tang Sect’s Amorous Douluo Zang Xin.
Yes, they were the four great Limit Douluos!
Just like what the Amorous Douluo had said before their departure. Tang Wulin must be protected by the four Limit Douluos at all times when they were at the frontline of the battlefield.
Consequently, he drew the attention of the people immediately when he brought four Limit Douluos to the command post.
Those with a Limit Douluo status were authorized to sit at the meeting table naturally. Yet, these four Limit Douluos chose to stand behind Tang Wulin. They were oblivious to the rest of the people around them, except for the Amorous Douluo who greeted his acquaintances.
The Skycrosser Douluo Guan Yue was seated on the right of Tang Wulin. He was the newly-appointed Hall Master of the War God Hall and also a Limit Douluo. Next to him was Spirit Pagoda’s Pagoda Master Qiangu Dongfeng who lost an arm recently.
Apparently, it was difficult to tell that Qiangu Dongfeng bore a grudge against Tang Wulin. He was reserved and his expression was extremely calm as if whatever that was happening around him did not concern him.
The person seated next to him was also from Shrek. He was the Body Douluo A Ruheng.
Mu Ye had arrived not too long ago as well. However, A Ruheng was there as a representative of the Body Sect since Mu Ye had officially handed over the position of Body Sect’s Sect Master to him.
A Ruheng had proven the power of his Leakproof Golden Body when he was at the War God Hall. Hence, the Body Sect was seated next to the Spirit Pagoda. Together, they formed the five great organizations. It was the first time the Body Sect was given such a status after close to a thousand years.
The Titan Giant Ape was supposed to enjoy the same privilege, but Yuanen Zhentian insisted he was a member of Shrek Academy and refused to partake in this meeting under the identity of his clan.
The people who followed A Ruheng were the leaders from some other great soul masters’ organizations.
Many of these people were from renowned, powerful clans with long lineages. For example, there was the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan which Tang Wulin once impersonated as its member. There was also the all-powerful Nine Treasures Glaze Pagoda Clan that was reputed to be the number one support system on the continent.
1Next, there was a clan which drew Tang Wulin’s attention. It was because he was related to this clan in a sense. It was known as the Clear Sky Clan!
The current sect master of the clan was a middle-aged man over forty years of age. When he appeared, Tang Wulin who was seated on the main seat of the left flank was immensely shocked.
Who were the Clear Sky Clan? It was precisely his father, Tang San’s clan. The Clear Sky Clan, the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan, and the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda Clan were known as the three great powerful clans.
Being the most powerful clans, they had been famous since that epoch.
Eventually, many of the clans from the same epoch began to decline and were defunct, leaving only these three great clans with their long lineages. One could imagine how profound their inheritance was.
Similar to the Body Clan, each clan faced the problem of not being able to produce any Limit Douluo-ranked powerhouse which resulted in the gradual decline of the clan.
Nevertheless, Tang Wulin felt an affinity toward the sect master of the Clear Sky Clan.
Whether it was his father Tang San, his grandfather Tang Hao, or even his great-grandfather Tang Chen, they were all from this clan.
The Clear Sky Clan’s Clear Sky Hammer was Tang San’s most powerful assault-type tool soul of that epoch! It was also one of Tang San’s two great martial souls.
What a waste that Tang Wulin only inherited Tang San’s Bluesilver Emperor, and not Tang San’s second martial soul as well.
The high-ranking military personnel were seated on the right flank of the main seat. For example, the Northern Army Corps’ regimental commander Guo Zhenfeng could only take the hindmost seat on this flank. There was nothing he could do because he had the lowest qualification of all. Besides, the Northern Army Corps was the weakest of all the army corps.
The main seat on the right flank was taken by an old man with a colonel general rank similarly. He appeared to be extremely ferocious. He had a dark complexion, slightly bulging huge eyes which looked like copper bells. He looked akin to a long-toothed hideous devil.
This person was seated right across Tang Wulin. He was sizing up Tang Wulin with his ferocious, solemn eyes.
He was Dong Zian, the Western Army Corps’ regimental commander. He was a military mogul similarly and was once reputed to be a top, valiant soldier in the past. He was a Limit Douluo whose martial soul was the Green-faced Wolf with the moniker, the Ferocious Wolf.
The Green-faced Wolf was actually an ordinary martial soul. Yet, it was precisely due to this fact that he got his fame in the military once upon a time.
Everyone was well aware that the higher the quality of a soul master’s martial soul, the higher the possibility of the soul master achieving a higher rank. On the other hand, one could imagine how difficult it was for a soul master to cultivate an ordinary martial soul like the Green-faced Wolf to the Limit Douluo rank. Had it not been for the variant process, it would be impossible for Dong Zian to achieve the Limit Douluo rank.
The Western Army Corps was exceedingly powerful, only second to the Central Army Corps in the federal military. They were stationed at the western frontier and, in a way, acted as reinforcements to the Blood God Army. If anything were to happen to the Blood God Army that guarded the abyssal passage, the Western Army Corps would be the first to back up the Blood God Army.
The Ferocious Wolf Douluo appeared to be rather old, but he was actually only slightly over sixty years old. He was reputed to be the successor of Chen Xinjie and could possibly be posted to the War God Hall next.
The person seated next to him was Tang Wulin’s old acquaintance. He was the Blood God Army’s regimental commander, colonel general, the Bright Mirror Douluo Zhang Huanyu.
Beside him was the Northwest Army Corps’s regimental commander. He was a middle-aged man with a kind, gentle, and refined appearance. He was graceful and always smiling. The colonel general exuded a calm presence.
Anyone who was acquainted with this man knew that he was cunning as a fox. He was reputed to be a wily soldier in the army. He led the Northwest Army Corps for many years and turned it into an army with a growing reputation.
In the Federation, the Central Army Corps, the Northwest Army Corps, and the Western Army Corps were known as the three great land armies.
On the other hand, the Sea God Army, the Eastsea Army Corps, and the Northsea Army Corps were known as the three great naval forces.
In comparison, the Northern Army Corps and the Southern Army Corps were the weaker armed forces.
The Northern Army Corps was stationed in Thule, a less strategic location. It was hardly worth defending. Moreover, it was difficult to allocate resources due to its remote location. Hence, the better soldiers demurred to be posted to Thule.
Similarly, the Southern Army Corps could not be powerful due to its proximity to the Sea God Army. In fact, the Southern Army Corps was the only army under the jurisdiction of a clan. Under certain circumstances, the Holy Angel Clan’s order was more authoritative than the military headquarters’. Consequently, they received fewer resources from the Federation. Also, they invariably needed subsidies from the Holy Angel Clan.
If the eight great army corps were to be ranked according to their strengths in descending order, it would be the Central Army Corps, the Sea God Army, the Western Army Corps, the Northwest Army Corps, the Eastsea Army Corps, the Northsea Army Corps, the Southern Army Corps, and last but not least, the Northern Army Corps.
1The Northwest Army Corps’ regimental commander was Yin Moshang, a Hyper Douluo with the Silver Frost Painted Halberd as his martial soul. Even though he was not a Limit Douluo, he was seated after Zhang Huanyun as the Northwest Army Corps was ranked third in the army corps.
Next to him was a colonel general similarly. He was none other than the Heartless Douluo Cao Dezhi. He was dressed in a military uniform, since he no longer represented the Tang Sect but the Blood God Army’s Blood God Battalion. In the command post, his rank was that of a colonel general.
After Cao Dezhi, there was the Northern Army Corps’ regimental commander Guo Zhenfeng.
Together with these military moguls, there were other high-ranking personnel from the major departments in charge of logistics and the reconnaissance services.
The vast majority of the Douluo Federation’s top powerhouses and high-ranking military personnel were gathered here today.
In the spacious meeting room, there were more than ten Limit Douluos. It was truly rare to see such a grand scene in the Douluo Federation.
