Chapter 377
"Sea God's Island?" Steve said calmly, "Where is that? The island near Thor's house?"
On the surface, Steve acted as if he had never heard of it before, but in his heart, he was wondering why Xue Qinghe suddenly mentioned the Sea God's Island.
According to his previous actions, he was definitely not speaking from the perspective of the Martial Spirit Palace.
Coupled with the question just now, could it be … that he wanted to rope him in?
While thinking about this, Xue Qinghe said, "Captain Tiff, you must be joking. The Sea God's Island is where the real Sea God used to live, but now the Martial Spirit Palace calls it the Devil's Island because the Martial Spirit Palace sent 2,000 Soul Masters to conquer that place, but in the end, less than a hundred people came back alive. They even lost two Titled Douluo there!"
"So what are you trying to say?" Steve asked.
Xue Qinghe quickly said, "The Martial Spirit Palace called it the Devil's Island, but in fact, it's not. As far as I know, the Sea God's inheritance might really be there!"
"I found out that it's very difficult to reach the Sea God's Island. It's very difficult for ordinary people to go there, and even if they do, it's very likely that their lives will be in danger. However, if you're a genius, then it's a place of great opportunity!"
"Legend has it that the Soul Masters who entered the Sea God's Island and came out alive all received the God's blessing, and their strength skyrocketed!"
Xue Qinghe had collected this information himself. Although it was not comprehensive, he had a rough idea.
"And then?" Steve took a sip of tea and asked, "Do you know how to get to the Sea God's Island?
Do you know what's there?
Do you know how to obtain the Sea God's inheritance? "
Xue Qinghe was speechless.
Xue Qinghe was a little tired. His idea was very simple. He would tell Steve about the Sea God's Island and then arouse his curiosity. Then, he would draw a big picture and rope them in.
However, he had not seen the other six people since he came in, and Steve's thoughts were clear and his words were logical.
It seemed that it would be difficult to rope in this group of people.
Xue Qinghe sighed softly and shook his head. "I … don't know."
He could not say that he knew because that would be a lie. Not only would it not benefit him at all, it might even make the Avengers hostile.
"So, are you telling me a legend?" Steve asked, looking into Xue Qinghe's eyes.
The latter was speechless for a moment. Xue Qinghe suddenly realized that everything he had planned, including his reaction after entering the house and the words he should have said …
Everything was a complete mess.
From the moment Steve reorganized his words at the beginning, he had already taken control of the conversation. His subsequent words were all in the other party's rhythm.
He had clearly come here to recruit people, but he was stumped by a rhetorical question. His heart was in a complete mess.
In fact, Xue Qinghe had always thought of himself as a smart person. He had always played the Snowy Night Emperor in the palm of his hand since he was young. This made him extremely confident.
Even when he worked with Thanos later on, Xue Qinghe always thought that he was using Thanos and not the other way around.
All this time, he wanted to join the Marvel Family because he wanted to use the Marvel Family to save his life. At the same time, he also left himself three ways out.
He always thought before he acted. He felt that everything was under his control.
But now, with just a few simple words, he realized that his so-called verbal skills and his so-called control of the situation felt like a joke.
"Are you done with the story?
Then you can go back. "Steve placed the teacup in his hand on the table. It was obvious that he wanted to see Xue Qinghe out.
Xue Qinghe pondered for a moment. He stood up and said, "If I find a way to go to the Sea God's Island, would you like to come with me, Captain Tiff?"
He decided that after the competition, he would find a way to get to the Sea God's Island.
He had already gained a good impression of the Shrek Academy. He felt that the group of people were closer to him.
If he could gain the favor of the Avengers, he would not be afraid if the Martial Soul Hall wanted to trouble him in the future.
"We'll see when the time comes." Steve smiled.
He didn't agree, but he didn't refuse either. He gave an ambiguous answer.
Xue Qinghe was really bold. He wanted to go to the Sea God's Island in order to recruit them.
But then again, did Xue Qinghe not know the uniqueness of his martial soul?
He felt that it would not be weak if he inherited the Angel Godhood in the future.
On second thought, Xue Qinghe was sent to the Heaven Dou Empire when he was young. Because of his young age, it was probably difficult for him to come into contact with some secrets.
Qian Daoliu must have told him about this later. Xue Qinghe did not know about the Angel Godhood at all.
That was why he had such an idea after knowing about the Sea God's Island.
"Goodbye." Xue Qinghe did not gain anything this time, but he could not lose his composure when he left.
He smiled and left the small building.
"He has his own ideas. He's also smart." Steve praised.
In fact, if he did not activate his God's View and know everything, he might have been fooled.
After all, this was related to the God's Inheritance. The temptation was too great. It was something that all Soul Masters on the continent wanted.
Dugu Bo guessed that after Thanos obtained the God's Inheritance, his attitude changed. He became respectful.
The reason was simple. The Titled Douluo could bring people to the God Realm after obtaining a Godhood.
Dugu Bo wanted to see if he could freeload a spot or something.
As long as he reached the God Realm, even if he did not have a Godhood, he would have an unlimited lifespan. This was Dugu Bo's goal.
In front of eternal life, a hundred thousand year soul ring or an external soul bone would have to stand aside!
From this, it could be seen how great the temptation was. Xue Qinghe did not understand why Steve was not excited at all. He was even so calm.
He did not think too much about it. Lin Feng was a little tired today. After Xue Qinghe left, he quickly fell asleep.
Time passed quietly. Today was the day of the fourth round of the Continental Elite Academy Tournament.
Out of the six teams, half of them advanced!
The results of the draw were as Lin Feng expected. The Martial Soul Hall, Shrek Academy, and Oakland Academy did not meet.
The Martial Soul Hall faced the Divine Wind Academy, while Oakland faced the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy. Finally, the Shrek Academy faced the second seeded team from the Star Luo Empire.
There were no surprises at all. The three academies all beat up their opponents, the kind that was completely one-sided.
In just an hour, the final three were revealed!
The three teams did not lose any fighting strength. No one was injured, and they were all full of soul power.
The final round of the tournament was three days later. During this time, the eliminated teams were all told that they were not allowed to watch the last day's battle.
After all, the final round was held in the plaza in front of the Pontiff's Palace. Only the true geniuses had the qualifications to set foot there.
Not only were the eliminated soul masters not allowed to enter, the final round did not even allow spectators. Even the academy's teachers could only wait outside the plaza.
Only the VIPs had the qualifications to enter the plaza.
From this, it could be seen how high the standards of the final round were.
Today was the day before the final round of the tournament. Tang San was a little nervous.
He was not nervous about the final round. He had already mentally prepared himself for it. There was only one final opponent, and that was the Avengers!
Tang San was nervous because the Martial Soul Hall had banned the eliminated soul masters from watching the battle. This was a forced decision by the Martial Soul Hall. Many forces had left early.
Now that there were fewer and fewer Soul Masters from the other factions in Martial Spirit City, Tang San was a little nervous about clearing the area and the assassination attempt from before.
However, when he thought about how Lin Feng, Teacher Dugu, Sect Master Ning, Kendourou Ashin, and the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, Xue Qinghe, he was also here.
With these people here, the Martial Soul Hall would not dare to do anything.
Moreover, Lin Feng's performance was too calm. People like Feng Ge never did things that they were not confident in. Tang San felt that with Feng Ge by his side, he did not need to be afraid of anything.
As for the others, they did not think too much at all. For Ning Rongrong, Oscar, and the others, there was only excitement at this time.
They were about to see the Pope, the Pope!
They were all looking forward to it. Xiao Wu's words were actually indifferent. She just wanted to get the first place. She did not care about the Pope.
She even hated the Martial Soul Hall.
When they were in the Star Dou Great Forest, the people of the Martial Soul Hall hunted many soul beasts in the forest. They did not hunt for soul rings, but slaughtered wantonly.
The purpose was just to get soul bones. Countless innocent soul beasts died because of this.
In the study of the Pope Palace, Bibi Dong glanced at Gui Mei.
"Is there still no news from that group of killers?"
"Reporting to the Pope, I can't contact them. I also went to the coastal area to confirm in person. I didn't see them come back. They are most likely dead!" Gui Mei reported.
"There is no news at all. Everyone has been surrounded. It seems that Titled Douluo has made a move, and there is more than one of them!" Bibi Dong murmured.
That group of killers was very strong. One of them had a very special martial soul and was very good at escaping. Ordinary Titled Douluo could not do anything to him.
Now that there was no news from them, there was only one possibility. Doctor Strange, Dugu Bo, and even Jianxin had made a move together.
She did not dare to guess that Doctor Strange alone had killed all of them. The possibility was too low. Even if Gui Mei and Yue Guan worked together, they would not be able to do that.
Previously, there was Thanos, and now there was another one?
If Doctor Strange was really that strong, then the Martial Soul Hall could forget about unifying the continent.
They did not find a single one of these powerful old monsters. Now that they had appeared on the continent, the Martial Soul Hall could not see the situation clearly and rashly made a move. That was simply courting death.
"Has Doctor Strange appeared?" Bibi Dong asked the second question.
Gui Mei shook her head. "Not yet."
"He's hiding pretty well. Don't worry about him. He's just a Titled Douluo. I don't think he can do anything. Let's carry out the plan," Bibi Dong said casually.
She did not think that Doctor Strange had left. He must have been hiding in the Martial Soul City.
As for Doctor Strange, Bibi Dong was worried that he would cause trouble. However, she managed to persuade one of the elders the day before.
If something unexpected happened, the elder would take action directly!
Under such circumstances, Bibi Dong did not have to worry about Doctor Strange's purpose. After all, it would not affect her plan.
"Yes!
Your Holiness! "With that said, Gui Mei turned into a ghost and went to make plans.
The Martial Soul City seemed to be peaceful on the surface, but undercurrents were surging in the dark.
Dusty Heart was protecting Ning Fengzhi and Xue Qinghe. Dugu Bo was protecting Tang San and the others. As for the Avengers, there was no one. All the clones had disappeared.
Very soon, it was the last day of the finals.
Tang San and the others were in good condition and could unleash their full strength at any time.
Early in the morning, the three teams were led by a Cardinal to the square in front of the Pope's Palace.
The substitutes and teachers could not enter the square. At this time, there were only 21 official members of the three teams in the square.
Every seven of them stood in a group with a clear distinction.
Now that the sun had risen, the Pope's Palace looked magnificent under the sunlight. Around the square, the Guardian Knights spread down from both sides of the square all the way to the foot of the mountain.
When they walked up just now, they saw this group of well-dressed knights. All of them were very energetic, which made everyone admire the Martial Soul Hall even more.
At this time, Evilmoon and the others were very relaxed in the square, waiting for the Pope to appear.
Shrek's team of seven were discussing in low voices how the Pope would appear later.
They were a little excited at this time. It was not that they worshipped the Pope, but they were simply curious about him. It was not the fanatical worship of Evilmoon and the others.
As for the last side, the seven members of the Avengers were like wooden blocks. They closed their eyes and waited quietly without saying a word.
They didn't wait long. Soon!
A group of people walked out of the side door of the Pope's Palace. Three of them were the Cardinals who led the three teams previously.
Not only the three of them, there were a total of twelve Cardinals. They came to the front of the Pope's Palace first, then stood on the left and right, with six people on each side.
The leader shouted, "His Majesty the Pope has arrived!"
"Long live!
Long live!
Long live! "For a time, countless people were shouting.
Not only these Guardian Knights, but many soul masters at the foot of the Pope's Mountain were also shouting.
They were not allowed to watch the competition, but they could still hear the sound at the foot of the mountain. Most of the eliminated soul masters would be here waiting for the champion of the finals to appear!
As the shouting gradually stopped, the door of the Pope's Palace slowly opened!
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but look over there. Curiosity, nervousness, and other emotions echoed in their hearts.
The next second, Pope Bibi Dong appeared!
She was wearing a bright golden dress, a purple-gold crown on her head, holding the Pope's scepter in her hand, and a solemn expression on her face.
"So beautiful!" Lin Feng praised in his heart.
