Chapter 158 Grandfather and Grandson Reunion.
Kong Deming's level-nine flight soul tool "Wings of the Sky" tore through the clouds, creating a sonic boom cloud. The pointer on the instrument panel, which was used to locate the soul tool, trembled violently and pointed to the northeast.
Having dealt with Xuanzi, he immediately began tracking Kong Xuan based on the faint aura of the soul-guided device on his body.
"wrong!"
He suddenly hovered at an altitude of 10,000 meters, his defensive soul tool was activated, and a look of surprise and uncertainty appeared on his face.
The two intertwined and colliding auras pierced through the heavens and earth like cracks in the sky. He would never mistake the familiar divine pressure within it; it was the same one he had sensed from Kong Xuan back then.
Kong Xuan's use of this power clearly indicates that he encountered danger, and the other aura he sensed also seemed equally formidable.
At least the aura that Xuanzi had just exuded was far inferior to this one.
Then, both of these auras seemed to suddenly surge again, causing his expression to change drastically.
Under the influence of these two auras, he felt that his cultivation level, which had been raised to level ninety-seven by the battle armor, was still extremely insignificant and beyond his power.
His heart pounded wildly. There was no doubt that another power, not belonging to Kong Xuan, had also reached the level of a god.
He had been slightly relieved, but he immediately became worried about Kong Xuan again.
At that moment, Kong Deming saw a scene he would never forget, from 10,000 meters in the air.
The sky seemed to be torn apart by an invisible giant hand, and the phantom of a giant club wrapped in golden patterns broke through the clouds.
The moment the giant club fell, time seemed to be encased in viscous amber.
Kong Deming watched helplessly as the shockwave spread out in perfect concentric circles, turning everything in its path to dust.
Ancient trees fell like straw, rocks crumbled into primordial particles, and even space itself showed glass-like cracks.
Such a scene was like... no, it was simply a miracle!
Kong Deming stared blankly at the scene, utterly shocked.
But in the blink of an eye, he suppressed his shock and flew quickly toward the direction where the scene had just occurred.
As they drew closer, even though the previous terrifying attack had ended, the chilling destructive pressure remained intense.
When Kong Deming looked down at the ground from high above and saw the circular crater nearly a kilometer in diameter created by the altered landscape, his heart still clenched involuntarily.
However, he had no time to pay attention to that and began searching for Kong Xuan's whereabouts. The soul-guided device indicated that he was nearby.
Soon, Kong Deming saw Kong Xuan standing blankly on a broken boulder at the edge of the giant pit.
"Xuan'er!"
Kong Deming shouted and then swooped down.
After landing next to Kong Xuan, he carefully examined him from head to toe and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that Kong Xuan was not injured.
"It's good that you're alright! It's good that you're alright!"
Letting out a long breath, Kong Deming glanced at the deep pit beside him, then turned to Kong Xuan and asked, "What's this?"
Kong Xuan smiled and said, "As a descendant of the gods, I naturally possess life-saving methods bestowed upon me by the gods!"
"Such methods show that the power of the gods is indeed beyond our comprehension."
Kong Deming's voice trembled slightly. He had thought about the power of the gods before, but this scene undoubtedly told him that his imagination was too conservative.
Kong Deming then asked, "By the way, who exactly kidnapped you? What do they want from you?"
Kong Xuan did not hide anything and answered, "It's the Haotian Sect!"
Kong Deming frowned and said, "The Haotian Sect? The number one sect in the Douluo Continent?"
Kong Xuan nodded: "That's right."
"Hasn't the Haotian Sect been living in seclusion for nearly a thousand years? They haven't had any conflicts with us, so why are they suddenly contacting you?"
Kong Deming really couldn't understand why the Haotian Sect had taken action.
Explaining this matter would really take some effort.
So Kong Xuan said directly, "The Haotian Sect has produced gods before. This involves a struggle in the divine realm, which is why I was chosen as the successor of the gods. I don't know the specific details."
Kong Deming's expression turned somewhat somber upon hearing this, for his strength was of little use when it came to matters concerning deities.
I used to think it was a good thing that my grandson received divine inheritance, but now it seems that everything has two sides.
"It seems the world of gods is also full of strife!"
Kong Deming sighed, then asked with some worry, "What will happen after that...?"
Kong Xuan knew what Kong Deming was worried about, so he gave him a reassuring look and said with a smile, "Grandpa, don't worry, at least there won't be any more problems in the short term."
"That's good!"
Kong Deming let out a breath, though he was clearly still worried about it.
Kong Xuan didn't want to discuss this topic anymore and quickly said, "Grandpa, let's go back to Star City!"
Kong Deming nodded: "Okay, let's finish this quickly so we can return to Riyue."
On his way back to Xingluo, Kong Xuan was also thinking about whether Tang San would make a move against him later.
In his opinion, it should be similar to what he and his grandfather had said. Having learned this lesson, even if Tang San had his eye on him, he probably wouldn't make a move easily. He could take advantage of this time to develop properly.
However, he also warned himself not to be careless, after all, Tang San had many backup plans in Douluo Continent.
The most important thing for him now is to improve his cultivation as soon as possible. According to the previous trend, as long as he breaks through to the Soul Emperor level, he should be able to obtain the power of the Ruyi Jingu Bang again.
Having witnessed its power, Kong Xuan was extremely eager for such a life-saving method.
Having an extra strike means having an extra chance to save your life, even if your opponent is a god from the divine realm.
...
Kong Deming had left Xingluo Square more than half an hour ago, but at this moment, after the match ended, there were hardly any people left.
Because they knew that it wouldn't be long before Kong Deming returned.
However, compared to the beginning when everyone was discussing it enthusiastically.
As time goes by, there will always come a time when all the words can be said.
So now Xingluo Square has gradually fallen silent. It's not that there's not a sound at all, but compared to the square with hundreds of thousands of people, these few sounds are basically inaudible from a distance.
The arrival of these two people brought a slight sense of relief to everyone in the Shrek Academy's rest area.
Although the rules stipulated that no one could fight freely except on the arena during the competition, Xuanzi had previously relied on his strength and attacked the people from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy despite being advised against it.
Right now, their strongest is only a Soul King, while the Sun Moon faction still has a Title Douluo.
The vibrant emerald light receded slowly like the tide, and the pair of beautiful, dreamlike emerald wings gracefully folded away, eventually turning into specks of light that merged into the body of the Healer Douluo Wang Xian'er.
She turned around, her face still filled with compassion, and looked at Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger, whose expression was tense. Her voice was gentle, soothing the anxiety in the air: "Don't worry, your son's injuries may seem dangerous, but they are not fundamentally damaged."
"Although the internal organs have been shaken and the meridians slightly burned, I have used my life force to soothe and nourish them. They only need to rest and recuperate for a period of time, supplemented with medicines to strengthen their foundation and nourish their vitality, and they will be fine and it will not affect their future cultivation."
Those who appeared in Shrek Academy's rest area were naturally Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger Clan and the Healing Immortal Douluo Wang Xian'er.
Upon hearing this, Dai Hao's tightly clenched fists finally loosened slightly, and his tense shoulders relaxed.
A look of relieved gratitude appeared on his resolute face as he solemnly clasped his hands in a fist salute to Wang Xian'er: "Thank you, Immortal Physician, for saving my life! I will remember this kindness forever."
Wang Xian'er gently waved her hand, indicating that he didn't need to be so polite.
She then looked at Wang Yan and said, "Tang Mingxuan from your academy has had his arm reattached, but such a serious injury will still affect his cultivation. However, if Elder Zhuang from your academy can intervene, there may still be a chance."
After saying that, she took one last look at Ma Xiaotao lying on the ground and said solemnly, "As for this girl, I can only stabilize her condition. That evil fire is really strange, and even I am helpless against it."
Wang Yan quickly cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your help, Immortal Physician. Xiao Tao's problem has existed for a long time, and the Evil Fire Academy has been helpless. It is enough that we can stabilize her injuries. We dare not ask for anything else."
Wang Xian'er didn't say much, but said softly, "It's my duty, no need to be so polite. I'll take my leave now."
After saying that, her figure gradually faded in the soft green light, as if she had disappeared into the breeze.
The Star Luo Empire borders the Sun and Moon Empires and still needs the support of Shrek Academy. Therefore, Xu Jiawei specially dispatched the Healing Immortal Douluo to treat these injured students.
Although his injuries had improved considerably, Dai Yueheng's face was still pale, and he looked weak and listless.
He looked at the worried Duke White Tiger and asked, "Father, in your opinion, how exactly is Elder Xuan?"
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gazes, eager to know Xuanzi's situation.
Compared to them, Dai Hao, the Contra Master, probably sees things more clearly.
