Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

Page 367

As Mo Shang finished speaking, half of his battle qi was instantly consumed, and its effect was quite obvious. A pitch-black cage suddenly appeared around the figure in front of him, completely enveloping him.

Upon seeing the cage that had imprisoned him, a hint of panic appeared in his eyes. He enveloped his fist in battle aura and instantly hurled it at the dark cage in front of him, but to no avail. No matter how he attacked, the cage remained unchanged.

At this point, a hint of madness flashed in his eyes.

"Alright, Mo Shang, since you're so determined to fight, I'll grant your wish!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a fierce look appeared on the young man's face. He turned his head and looked at Mo Shang, who was flying over. His fighting spirit surged out, waiting for Mo Shang to get closer.

Mo Shang watched the young man's movements without stopping, even adding a sharp aura. Sensing Mo Shang's actions, the young man's gaze grew increasingly serious as he carefully watched Mo Shang's approaching figure.

"Void Blade!"

Just then, Mo Shang whispered something, and then, inside the Shadow Prison, a faint black light flickered behind the youth, and a black longsword instantly appeared and fell towards the youth's back.

This was the fighting technique obtained at auction in the Black Corner Region, the Void Blade, a mid-level Xuan-rank technique. Although it was only a mid-level Xuan-rank technique, its strangeness allowed it to ignore space and strike unexpectedly over short distances, which made it a favorite of Mo Shang.

The young man's attention was drawn to Mo Shang, who was charging towards him with great force. He focused on defending himself against Mo Shang, unaware that this was merely a tactic Mo Shang used to distract him.

Sensing the sudden attack from behind, the young man was shocked and tried to turn around to defend himself, but it was too late.

"Pfft!"

The young man only felt a chill on his back as a dark sword tip pierced through his chest. He then let out a furious roar in despair before losing all life and falling to the ground.

Mo Shang looked at the young man who had fallen to the ground with a gloomy expression. He waved his hand, and a jet of black flame roared down, burning the young man's body to ashes in the blink of an eye. Then, along with a storage ring, the flame fell into Mo Shang's hand.

Seeing this, Mo Shang relaxed, then pressed himself close to the ground and flew low into the distance...

No wonder he's so cautious. Last time, an opponent who should have been dead almost lost because he practiced a strange technique and tricked Mo Shang, nearly causing Mo Shang's downfall...

Currently, Mo Shang is located in a small trial world of the Soul Palace.

Within the Soul Palace, there isn't just one faction; it's divided into several branch palaces. Each branch palace has limited resources. Within the Soul Palace, only by demonstrating one's value or making contributions can one climb to a higher position.

The trial that Mo Shang is now participating in is a very high-level trial within the Soul Palace.

The world Mo Shang is currently in is the location of the trial. They have only one requirement here: to kill their opponents, gain their points, and survive.

Based on Mo Shang's displayed talent, and as one of the few young people in the Soul Palace who could arouse even a trace of interest in the Medicine Venerable, coupled with his terrifying talent, he had already been granted special permission to obtain a spot without participating in the trial. However, at Mo Shang's own request, he still chose to participate in this competition.

Although Mo Shang didn't know the final reward, as the Soul Hall's highest-level trial, he believed the final result would satisfy him...

Mo Shang's figure quickly disappeared on the dry plain. After a while, not far from where Mo Shang and the others had just fought, an inconspicuous weed stood on the plain, with a half-closed pupil watching Mo Shang's departure. A hint of struggle flashed in the pupil.

But glancing at Mo Shang, who had just finished his battle, the ground rippled, and a faint figure could be seen chasing after the spot where Mo Shang had just left...

"Senior brother, where do we go next?"

After leaving the cave, Xiao Yan was focused on improving his strength and asked Xiao Fan where they were headed next.

"Next... we're going to the Central Region!"

"Zhongyu?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan was slightly surprised, wondering what Xiao Fan's purpose was in choosing the Central Region.

"Hmm." Xiao Fan nodded slightly, then said, "I asked Xinlan before, and she said that the Four Directions Pavilion in Zhongzhou is about to hold the Four Directions Pavilion Conference. This conference will be held at the eastern branch of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, which is also the headquarters of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion."

"The headquarters of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan frowned slightly and said, "The Wind and Thunder Pavilion is divided into four branches: East, West, South, and North. The East Branch is also the headquarters of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, and the Pavilion Master, Venerable Thunder, is personally overseeing it. Let's go there..."

Xiao Fan sensed the worry in Xiao Yan's tone, shook his head at Xiao Yan, and then smiled and said, "Don't worry, we're not going to cause trouble. Maybe we won't encounter any danger?"

"Your strength has already broken through to the Dou Zong level, so there's no point in continuing to work in isolation. As for someone like Venerable Feng, he's usually elusive, but he'll definitely be present at such an important event as the Four Directions Pavilion Conference. This is the easiest way for us to find him."

Listening to Xiao Fan's analysis, Xiao Yan finally nodded in agreement. His right hand gently stroked the storage ring left by Yao Lao, his mind racing with thoughts. He wondered just what kind of person this Venerable Feng really was...

Although Xiao Yan didn't know much about Venerable Feng, he trusted Yao Lao. Since Yao Lao had said that he could trust Venerable Feng without reservation, Xiao Yan was willing to take the gamble!

"Don't worry!"

Xiao Fan noticed Xiao Yan's worry, patted Xiao Yan's shoulder, and then said, "Now my strength has also broken through to the Dou Zun realm. I dare not say anything else, but even if something unexpected happens in the Four Directions Pavilion, I am confident that I can take you away."

Now that Xiao Fan has broken through to the Dou Zun realm, he is full of confidence.

After all, in this era where there is no hope of becoming a Dou Di and no Dou Sheng is emerging, Dou Zun is already the strongest force on this continent. Every Dou Sheng is a trump card for a force. Dou Sheng will not easily take action in minor skirmishes unless it is to the point of destroying a sect.

Xiao Fan was confident that he could leave unscathed simply by attending the Four Directions Pavilion Conference.

The three of them are currently not too far from the location of the Four Directions Pavilion Assembly, but they still need to go through this spatial passage to be teleported there.

This time, the journey through the spatial passage was only three days long, and there were no further accidents during the process. The three of them safely passed through the spatial passage and then rushed to the location of the Four Directions Pavilion Conference.

After breaking through to the Dou Zun level, and having just traveled through the spatial passage, Xiao Fan spent the entire journey studying the application of spatial power.

After all, space and time are the most profound things in the world, and Xiao Fan naturally had a strong interest in them.

Along the way, Xiao Fan had considered using spatial nodes to briefly construct a spatial passage to carry Xiao Yan and Zi Yan on their journey.

However, the two witnessed the spatial passage Xiao Fan constructed collapse in less than two seconds, covered by spatial turbulence, and dared not enter the spatial passage Xiao Fan had created even if they were beaten to death.

After trying it himself, Xiao Fan realized that establishing a stable spatial passage was not a simple matter and required more in-depth research.

Time on the road is ultimately limited. And so, as the three of them hurried along, they finally arrived at the venue of the Four Directions Pavilion Conference, the main building of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, which was already packed with people!

P.S. I forgot to mention, the reader group is full. Those who didn't agree aren't saying the author disagrees, it's just that we can no longer increase the group size. I'll see if I should create a new one or figure out how to increase the number of members (crying).

Chapter 101 Leishan [Who Else Writes Through the Night?]

Each of the Four Directions Pavilion Conferences in Zhongzhou is hosted by the winner of the previous conference.

It is precisely because the winner of the previous competition was Fenglei Pavilion that this year's Four Directions Pavilion Tournament was hosted by Fenglei Pavilion, and it was held in the East Pavilion of Fenglei Pavilion.

The East Pavilion of Fenglei Pavilion is located in a place called Fenglei Mountain Range.

The Fenglei Mountain Range covers an extremely vast area, and its surrounding environment is different from other places. Thunder often roars here, so it is called the Fenglei Mountain Range.

The East Pavilion of Fenglei Pavilion is located in this mountain range, on a peak called Leishan.

At first, Xiao Fan and his companions had to ask for directions from passersby and inquire along the way to get here. However, after passing through the previous city, the three of them could simply follow the flow of the crowd.

Because most of the people who have come here are here to join in the excitement of the Four Directions Pavilion Assembly, the crowd is densely packed and heading towards Leishan.

"We're almost there..."

Looking at the surging crowd ahead, Xiao Yan let out a wail, a look of relief appearing on his face...

Upon hearing this, Zi Yan nodded in agreement, then exchanged a knowing glance with Xiao Yan, both showing expressions of relief at having survived a disaster.

God knows how they got through that journey.

After Xiao Fan's cultivation level reached Dou Zun, he initially focused on spatial power, devising ways to utilize spatial channels. A day later, he successfully connected two spatial nodes, creating a temporary spatial channel.

Traveling is inherently tedious, and Xiao Yan and Zi Yan were overjoyed to see how Xiao Fan's methods could save them so much distance. So they excitedly headed towards the location of the spatial passage that Xiao Fan had constructed, intending to be the first to experience it.

Perhaps it was Xiao Fan's long-standing composure that deceived them. At the time, neither Xiao Yan nor Zi Yan considered whether the spatial passage was safe or not.

Fortunately, the two were a step too slow. Just as they were about to step into the entrance of the spatial passage, they witnessed the spatial turbulence rushing through the passage and easily destroying the temporary spatial passage.

Xiao Yan and Zi Yan, who had just survived the ordeal, felt a chill run down their spines. If they had been any faster, they would have been swept into the spatial turbulence.

After several failed attempts to construct a spatial passage, Xiao Fan had no choice but to abandon the idea.

However, they did not expect that along the way, although Xiao Fan had calmed down a lot and stopped constructing spatial channels on his own, he used the power of space to constantly fight against Xiao Yan and Zi Yan.

In Xiao Fan's words:

Xiao Yan has just broken through to the Dou Zong realm and needs to consolidate his cultivation, so he comes up here to take a beating!

Zi Yan's cultivation has not broken through after so long, she needs more tempering, so come up and take a beating!

In short, along the way, Xiao Fan relied on his profound cultivation to continuously use spatial power to whip Xiao Yan and the other person, honing his familiarity with spatial power.

Moreover, because of Zi Yan's special nature, Xiao Yan also let Zi Yan demonstrate her ability to manipulate space, and then she fiddled with something on her own.

Now that they had finally reached Leishan, Xiao Yan and Zi Yan both felt much more relaxed.

Along the way, the three of them listened to the discussions about the Four Directions Pavilion Conference among the crowd, and Xiao Yan and Zi Yan also gained a basic understanding of the Four Directions Pavilion Conference.

"Who do you think will be the winner of this year's Four Directions Pavilion Tournament?"

"Hehe, who knows? But I think the final winner will be decided among Feng Qing'er, Wang Chen, Mu Qingluan, and Tang Ying, right?"

"Isn't this the same as saying nothing at all? Feng Qing'er of Fenglei Pavilion, Tang Ying of Wanjian Sect, Wang Chen of Huangquan Pavilion, and Mu Qingluan of Xingyun Pavilion are the closed-door disciples of four Venerables. The final winner will definitely be one of them."

"But if you ask me, have you heard about the Heavenly Mountain Blood Pool incident a while ago? I heard that Feng Qing'er and Wang Chen both appeared there. All four of them are at the peak of the Dou Huang realm. I just wonder if any of them managed to break through to the Dou Zong realm using the special properties of the Heavenly Mountain Blood Pool. If they do break through to the Dou Zong realm, then this first place is definitely a sure thing!"

..............

"The Blood Pool of Tianshan..."

Listening to the discussions of the crowd, Xiao Yan continued to process the information about the Four Directions Pavilion Conference.

The Four Directions Pavilion Tournament is not only for members of the Four Directions Pavilion. In addition to the Four Directions Pavilion, there are also disciples from many aristocratic families, as well as some exceptionally talented independent cultivators who participate in the Four Directions Pavilion Tournament.

The purpose is to showcase one's talent, attract the attention of powerful forces, and ultimately secure a good place for oneself.

However, non-Four Directions Pavilion disciples who wish to participate in the Four Directions Pavilion Conference still need to pass the Four Directions Pavilion's test.

Following the crowded masses, Xiao Fan and his two companions quickly arrived at the so-called Thunder Mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, hundreds of disciples of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion stood in place, exuding a sharp aura and full of energy.

At the very front of these disciples were two elders, one male and one female.
