The Journey to the Other World Starting from Douluo.

Chapter 20 Six Years of Growth - Part

The startled wind blows away the sun, and the glory flows westward. The heyday will never come again, and a hundred years have passed in a flash.

——Cao Zhi's "Konghou Introduction"

……

Six years later.

Tiandou Empire.

Tiandou City.

The viewing pavilion in the backyard of the Prince’s Mansion.

It was noon, and the sun was shining from the sky, passing through the hollows on the eaves of the pavilion and sprinkling onto an ancient wooden chessboard, on which the black and white chess pieces were arranged in an orderly manner.

Next to the chessboard, two men sat opposite each other.

The black-haired young man sat on one side of the chessboard, his deep eyes flashing with thought, his short, shiny black hair swaying gently in the breeze. He looked mysterious and steady, confidently waiting for the young man opposite him to make the next move.

The blond youth sat opposite, his dazzling blond hair gleaming in the sun like an angel, sacred and solemn. He was smiling, his eyes revealed a steadiness and confidence, and his gestures exuded a strong personal charm. But at this moment, his brows were furrowed, thinking hard about how to find a way out in the midst of murderous intent.

The atmosphere between the two was tense yet harmonious. Every move was accompanied by a slight sound that echoed in the quiet air.

"Alas, I lost again. Brother Wu Tong's chess skills are still so superb. The black and white chess you invented is indeed not simple. I have been groping for it for such a long time, but I am just getting started." After thinking for a long time and still unable to find a way to break the deadlock, the blond young man sighed and chose to admit defeat.

"Brother Xue, you're too kind. Your chess skills are already very strong, but you're just not familiar with the rules now. Once you're familiar with the rules, perhaps you can surpass me." The black-haired young man, Wu Tong, said modestly.

The blond young man whom Wu Tong called Brother Xue was actually Xue Qinghe, the crown prince of Tiandou Empire, one of the two major empires today.

She is also the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, one of the three Ultimate Douluo, the granddaughter of Sky Invincible Qian Daoliu, and the daughter of the Spirit Hall Pope Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue.

Qian Renxue looked at Wu Tong in front of her, feeling a little dazed. Even though six years had passed, she was still grateful for having recruited him at that time. The young man who had caused a sensation among major forces back then has now grown up and become a truly world-famous wise man.

When Wu Tong saw Qian Renxue's eyes were a little unfocused, he knew that she had been distracted again. He shook his head, picked up the teacup beside him, brought it to his mouth, and took a sip. Well, not bad, it is worthy of being the prince's tea, it is indeed a good tea, but why does it taste so much like the tea in his own Wutong Garden?

Just when Wu Tong was confused, Qian Renxue had come back to her senses and looked at Wu Tong teasingly.

"Master Wu Tong, your reputation is now known to the world. What are you going to do next?"

"Brother Xue, I've told you several times, don't call me Master. This title makes me think of another 'Master'."

Wu Tong said to Qian Renxue helplessly, now he finally understood the pain of Xiaopang classmate.

"The next step should be to help Mr. Dugu solve the poison in his family. He has come to me several times."

Wu Tong thought about it and said with some helplessness in his tone.

"That's right. After all, Senior Poison Douluo has already come to you for almost five or six times. If you don't help him, I'm afraid he will start to act like a rogue again."

Qian Renxue was not surprised after hearing this. After all, anyone who knew the young man in front of her a little bit knew his quirk, which was that he would never touch a second thing before finishing the first one.

But Dugu Bo was unlucky. Every time he came, Wu Tong had unfinished tasks.

Dugu Bo had no choice. He had tried everything he could and couldn't try, but still couldn't get rid of the poison in his family. So the most likely way to succeed now was to get Wu Tong's help.

But Dugu Bo did not dare to threaten Wu Tong. After all, if Wu Tong suffered any loss, there would be no place for him in the entire Douluo Continent. After all, almost everyone in the entire Douluo Continent had received Wu Tong's favor.

Although Dugu Bo was not afraid of these people, he could not help but care about Dugu Yan's safety. What could he do? He couldn't fight, so he could only act like a rogue. In this way, Dugu Bo would throw a tantrum every time he came to Wu Tong, and he didn't look like a Titled Douluo at all. Over time, Wu Tong was annoyed and had a headache.

As for doubting whether Wu Tong can solve the poison that even Dugu Bo, the Poison Douluo, is helpless against?

Qian Renxue just wanted to say that those who were suspicious really knew nothing about Wu Tong.

Who is Wu Tong?

He is recognized as the wisest man in the world in Douluo Continent, a famous master of martial arts research, and the Saint of Medicine.

Even his teacher Ning Fengzhi, who was always looking down on others, praised Wu Tong: "Whoever gets Wu Tong can get the world."

Just as Qian Renxue was about to continue speaking, a guard suddenly appeared behind Qian Renxue and spoke something to her.

Then Qian Renxue's eyes suddenly widened, as if she had encountered something incredible.

"Brother Wu Tong, I suddenly have something urgent to do, so I'm leaving first. Brother Wu Tong, please do as you please."

After Qian Renxue finished speaking, she left in a hurry.

Wu Tong looked at the other person's leaving figure, feeling puzzled but a little dazed.

Has it been...six years?
For Wu Tong, these six years were enough time to experience a lot of things.

After buying the soul guide, Wu Tong, who had originally planned to continue staying in Notting College, learned from Wu Tu and the others after they came back that Mu Lan's martial soul had been strengthened as he expected.

This news made Wu Tong very excited. Although he thought his theory was correct, just like data verification, one success does not mean anything. Only when multiple data verifications are successful can the conclusion be proved to be correct. Wu Tong, who was basically sure that his theory was successful, was naturally eager to try to compile a theory of martial spirit evolution.

After spending several months compiling it, I planned to publish it after graduation, as a capital to gain a voice for myself in the future.

But what was unexpected was that when Wu Tong was taking a break, he did not put away the theory and was seen by Principal Charles who came to talk to Wu Tong.

After reading it, Principal Charles was astonished and thought that Wu Tong could be like his good friend Yu Xiaogang, and even if his martial spirit was useless, he could become a scholar studying martial spirits.

So Charles, who was too excited, sent Wu Tong's theory directly to Wuhun Monthly, a newspaper that could spread the news across the mainland, in order to help his student make a name for himself.

The reviewers of Wuhun Monthly did not care about it. After all, there were countless people who wanted to be famous. After seeing the title, they were amused and thought it should be a fantasy story, so they directly registered it in the children's book section of Wuhun Monthly and published it.

Now, people who saw this theory became interested in Wu Tong, the theoretical researcher, just like bloodthirsty sharks who suddenly smelled blood.

After Wu Tong learned about it, he had no choice but to end his life as a Taoist priest and join a big force to seek shelter. However, there were only three forces that could protect Wu Tong: Wuhun Hall, Tiandou Empire and Xingluo Empire.

The Spirit Hall has the Pope Bibi Dong, who, as Yu Xiaogang's old lover, is very likely to dislike him. After all, his theory may hit the master Yu Xiaogang, who is able to destroy the world for Yu Xiaogang. Therefore, in order to avoid being stabbed eight times in the back and forced to commit suicide, he must not go to the Spirit Hall.

In the Xing Luo Empire, force is supreme, the law of the jungle prevails, the strong prey on the weak, and the fittest survive. Wu Tong, who has no strength, will definitely not be taken seriously if he goes, so he can't go.

Of the three forces that could protect him, two could not go. Then the only place he could go was the Tiandou Empire.

Because they were the closest, the people from the Tiandou Empire came the fastest. And the person who came to recruit him from the Tiandou Empire was the crown prince of the Tiandou Empire, Xue Qinghe, who had read Wu Tong's theory and was very interested in Wu Tong.

Now Wu Tong made a decision directly. After all, the "Xue Qinghe" in front of him was not only the prince of the Tiandou Empire, but also Qian Renxue, the saint of the Spirit Hall.

As long as he accepts Qian Renxue's recruitment, he can not only obtain the protection of the Tiandou Empire, but also directly enter the upper echelons of the Spirit Hall, and achieve his original goal in the process.
