Chapter 1773: The Western Legion and the Northwestern Legion
These four were Yuanen Zhentian, Yuanen Tiandang, Qilin Douluo Tong Yu, and Amorous Douluo Zang Xin.
That’s right, there were four Limit Douluos present!
Just as the Heartless Douluo had stipulated prior to their departure, Tang Wulin had to constantly have at least four Limit Douluos around him wherever he was on the front lines.
Of course, Tang Wulin’s arrival at the control center with the four Limit Douluos instantly drew everyone’s attention.
Limit Douluos were obviously entitled to seats on the conference table, but the four of them chose to stand behind Tang Wulin, completely ignoring the attention directed toward them; only Zang Xin was extending some greetings to some of the people he was familiar with.
Seated right beside Tang Wulin was Sky Crossing Douluo Guan Yue, the new Battle God Hall Master, and after that came Spirit Pagoda Chairman Qiangu Dongfeng, who was missing an arm.
On the surface, it didn’t look as if Qiangu Dongfeng held any hatred toward Tang Wulin at all. He was very calm and collected, as if nothing here had anything to do with him, and his composure was a clear testament to his shrewd nature.
The next person after him was actually also from Shrek Academy; it was Body Douluo A’Ruheng.
Mu Ye had also arrived not long ago, but he had already officially passed the title of Body Sect Master onto A’Ruheng, so he was naturally acting as the Body Sect representative.
At the Battle God Hall, A’Ruheng had already proven his power with the display of his Invincible Vajra Body, so the Body Sect was ranked only below the Spirit Pagoda as the fifth most powerful Soul Master organization. It could be said that this was the first time the Body Sect had risen to such heights in the past 1,000 years.
The Yuanen Family could’ve also been granted a seat at the table, but Yuanen Zhentian insisted that the Yuanen Family was part of Shrek Academy, so there would be no independent representative from the family present.
Following A’Ruheng came the leaders of the rest of the major Soul Master organizations, many of which had existed for many years and had a high level of influence and renown.
For example, there was the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, whose young master Tang Wulin had once impersonated, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Clan, which was renowned for possessing the number one assistance system martial soul on the continent.
After that came a family that drew Tang Wulin’s attention as in a sense, he shared a deep connection with this family. This was a sect by the name of the Clear Sky Sect!
The Clear Sky Sect Master was a middle-aged man in his forties, and Tang Wulin’s heart had been given a massive jolt at the sight of his arrival.
The Clear Sky Sect was the sect that Tang San’s father had hailed from, and it was ranked alongside the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Clan as the three major clans. All three were among the oldest clans to exist in the Soul Master world, existing even before the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy! They were the most powerful clans during the generation of the Spirit Hall, when Tang San had forged his legacy, and many major clans from the same time period had gradually fallen into obscurity or even disappeared altogether, so it was a clear testament to these three clans that they continued to exist and be relevant.
However, the three clans were suffering from the same issue as the Body Sect, which was that no Limit Douluos had appeared among their ranks for many years, thereby naturally causing them to fall into gradual decline.
Even so, Tang Wulin couldn’t help but be struck by a sense of closeness upon seeing the Clear Sky Sect Master.
Both Tang San and Tang Hao, and even his father, Tang Chen, hailed from this clan, and the Clear Sky Hammer of the Clear Sky Sect was renowned as the most powerful assault system tool martial soul of that era.
It was also one of Tang San’s two martial souls; it was just a pity that Tang Wulin had only inherited the Bluesilver Emperor martial soul from Tang San.
On the right side of the table was a dazzling collection of epaulets. Even Northern Legion Commander Guo Zhenfeng could only sit at the very end of the table on that side. This was simply unavoidable as he possessed the least experience and the Northern Legion was the weakest of the eight major legions.
Seated in the first position on the right side was an elderly man who was also wearing general epaulets. He had a very fierce appearance with dark skin and a pair of large, piercing eyes, creating a very menacing package to behold.
The fact that he was situated in the first seat on the right side undoubtedly indicated that his status was below only Chen Xinjie and Yu Guanzhi.
He was currently seated across from Tang Wulin, appraising Tang Wulin with a fierce look in his eyes.
This was the commander-in-chief of the Western Legion, Dong Zi’an. He was also a leading figure in the military, and had once been renowned as the most fierce warrior in the military. His martial soul was the Azure Face Wolf, and he was a Limit Douluo with the Douluo Title of “Fierce Wolf”.
The Azure Face Wolf was actually only a very ordinary type of martial soul, which was exactly why Dong Zi’an was so renowned in the military.
It was common knowledge that the higher the caliber of one’s martial soul, the greater the chance they had to cultivate to a high level. For someone to have cultivated an ordinary martial soul like the Azure Face Wolf to the Limit Douluo level undoubtedly entailed an extremely arduous cultivation journey, and there had to have been a mutation at some point. Otherwise, there was no way that the Azure Face Wolf could be cultivated to the Limit Douluo level.
The Western Legion was extremely powerful, second only to the Central Legion among the federal military’s ground forces. The legion was situated on the western frontier, and it could be said that it was the backup to the Blood God Legion. If any issues occurred while the Blood God Legion was guarding the abyssal passageway, the first forces to reinforce them would be from the Westen Legion.
Dong Zi’an appeared to be quite advanced in age, but he was actually only in his sixties, and had long been regarded as Chen Xinjie’s successor. There was a very good chance that he would also take up a role in the Battle God Hall in the future alongside his military duties.
Seated next to him was someone very familiar to Tang Wulin: it was Mirror Douluo Zhang Huanyun.
After that came the commander-in-chief of the Northwestern Legion, a refined middle-aged man who was constantly smiling and was also a general. He struck the beholder as someone who was very placid and easygoing, but all those familiar with him knew that he was as cunning as a fox and was renowned as the leading strategist in the military.
He had commanded the Northwestern Legion for many years, and during that time, the legion had been on a steady rise.
The Central Legion, Northwestern Legion, and Western Legion were regarded as the three premier army legions of the federation, while the Sea God Legion, Eastsea Legion, and Northsea Legion comprised the three premier naval legions.
In contrast, the Southern Legion and Northern Legion were relatively weaker.
The Northern Legion was situated in the northernmost region of the continent, and there was nothing much to defend against here, and due to its remote location, it was very difficult to transport resources here, so no elite soldiers wanted to come here.
As for the Southern Legion, it was together with the Sea God Legion, so it naturally couldn’t grow too powerful and outstrip the Sea God Legion. After all, among all of the eight major legions, the Southern Legion was the only family-run legion, and under extreme circumstances, the Holy Angel Clan’s orders were even more effective than those from the army headquarters, so it naturally received less resources from the federation.
If the eight legions had to be ranked in descending order of strength, then it would look something like Central Legion, Western Legion, Eastsea Legion, Northsea Legion, Southern Legion, and Northern Legion.
The commander-in-chief of the Northwestern Legion was named Yin Moshang, and he was a Hyper Douluo with the Silver Frost Halberd martial soul. He wasn’t a Limit Douluo, but the Northwestern Legion was ranked among the top three legions of the federation, so he was granted a seat right after Zhang Huanyun.
Following him came another familiar face in the form of Heartless Douluo Cao Dezhi. He was currently wearing his general uniform, and was representing the Blood God Battalion of the Blood God Legion rather than the Tang Sect.
Only after Cao Dezhi came Guo Zhenfeng, and after him came the higher-ups of the important military departments, such as those overseeing logistics and reconnaissance.
It was no exaggeration to say that the most powerful beings of the Douluo Federation and the top brass of the military were gathered here on this day.
There were over 10 Limit Douluos in this conference hall, and this was an extremely rare sight even in the Douluo Federation.
