Chapter 189: Before the Decisive Battle.
After a moment's silence, Wang Xiaofei spoke again: "If I attack Tang San, will you intervene?"
Upon hearing this question, the Silver Dragon King remained silent again. It was clear that Xiao Wu and Tang San were part of their plan.
Seeing no reaction from the Silver Dragon King, Wang Xiaofei decided to leave. This conversation wasn't as fruitful as he had hoped, and he even felt a bit betrayed.
The Silver Dragon King seemed to understand Wang Xiaofei's thoughts: "One final piece of advice: Try not to attack Tang San, or you'll make many enemies."
"I'll be mindful, Your Excellency Silver Dragon King, but I hope you'll show some sincerity the next time we meet."
With that, Wang Xiaofei departed. After leaving his dimension, he simply glanced at the several ferocious beasts before leaving alone.
Di Tian entered the Silver Dragon King's dimension: "My Lord, how was the conversation with the Phoenix God?"
"Di Tian, this individual possesses considerable talent and strength, but unfortunately lacks a strong background. From now on, our soul beast clan should avoid provoking him."
After leaving the Star Dou Great Forest, Wang Xiaofei headed straight for the Slaughter City.
In the Slaughter City, Yang Wudi quietly watched the Hellish Killing Fields. While he wasn't wielding the Soul-Breaking Spear, he was fighting with a sword he'd somehow managed to acquire, surprisingly proving quite capable. When had Yang Wudi finally learned to wield a sword?
After Yang Wudi narrowly defeated his opponent, the two men returned to the Slaughter King's chamber. This time, they skipped tea. Wang Xiaofei immediately produced some wine, clearly intending to join Yang Wudi in a drinking contest.
Yang Wudi, a heavy drinker himself, downed a large bowl without a second thought, even sighing that it had been a while since he arrived in the Slaughter City.
After a while, the two seemed to relax, their spirits growing more relaxed as they drank.
But Yang Wudi suddenly paused and spoke directly, "Xiaofei, have you been worried about anything lately? Or perhaps you've been under any pressure lately?"
Wang Xiaofei stared blankly at the wine bowl in his hand, seemingly oblivious to Yang Wudi's words. It seemed like an eternity before he spoke: "Old Goat, is it so hard for me to remain neutral? Is it so hard to do my own thing?"
Yang Wudi's face darkened. "Xiao Fei, what exactly has been going on lately? You never approached me for drinks before, and you never called me Old Goat before."
After a moment's reflection, Wang Xiao Fei recounted all that had happened recently, including his battle with Tang San, the attack on the Asura God, and his conversation with the Silver Dragon King.
Yang Wudi didn't respond, but instead asked: "Xiao Fei, what do you think I'm doing in the Slaughter City?"
"Old Goat, you came to the Slaughter City for posterity and godhood."
"What bullshit descendants and godhood? None of that. It's because you asked me to come."
Wang Xiao Fei's face was filled with confusion.
Yang Wudi took a sip of his wine and continued: "Whether it's me, the other deans, or even your companions, we've all been working hard to become stronger. While this is partly for the academy, it's mostly for you, to keep up with you and to achieve your goals."
"Remember our first battle at the Elemental Academy? I said then that you had cheated to obtain the Killing God Domain. Now let me ask you another question. Back then in the City of Slaughter, did you ever think of obtaining the Killing God Domain on your own?"
"You've had so many opportunities all along. You could say you've calculated every step too well, but you never seem to be in any desperate situation, never made any big decisions, and never even thought about defeating an opponent stronger than you."
"Soul Masters cultivate against the will of heaven. There are four gods on the Douluo Continent now. Your realm and strength may be the strongest, but your attitude towards facing difficulties and rising to the challenge is the worst. It can even be said that your mentality is the worst."
"Be it the Asura God or the Five God Kings of the God Realm. The worst that can happen is that we'll have a fight with them. Even if we can't beat them, the worst that can happen is that we fight to the death. Are the people in our academy afraid of fighting to the death? Even that woman Liu Yan, as long as you give the order, she will fight to the death without hesitation."
"You saw my competition today. Without the Soul-Breaking Spear, I can use a sword. If I don't even have a sword, I can use my fists."
Wang Xiaofei listened to this and drank the wine bowl in front of him in one gulp.
Yang Wudi came over and patted Wang Xiaofei on the shoulder, saying, "Young man, learn from this."
Without a word, he left, leaving Wang Xiaofei bewildered. This old goat really got me this time. And I'm a god, and you still call me young?
But after hearing this, his mind cleared up a bit. What were those gods? At most, a fight would be enough.
And so, Wang Xiaofei settled down in the Slaughter City, waiting for changes outside.
The Slaughter City seemed much the same as before, with little change. The air still lingered with the presence of the Shura God, but he hadn't appeared yet. If it weren't for the huge gap in strength, he would have wanted to personally fight a few rounds in the Hell Slaughter Fields.
The situation in Xingluo City seemed to be growing increasingly tense. The Spirit Empire was continuously increasing its forces, now rivaling the Xingluo Empire in terms of military strength. Titled Douluo were also gradually gathering, seemingly ready for the final decisive battle.
Tensions within Xingluo City were even greater. Even the Xingluo Emperor and Empress had shed their former finery and donned heavy armor, seemingly ready for battle at any moment.
The elders of the Dai and Zhu families gathered on the city walls, ready for battle.
Tang San himself, holding the Seagod Trident, sat on the wall, resting his eyes and gathering his strength, ready for battle at any moment. The Shrek clan and the Clear Sky Sect were beside him.
After recent diligent training, and with Tang San's help, Tang Chen had finally recovered to level 99, becoming one of the Xingluo Empire's greatest trump cards.
Surprisingly, the Dai family of the Star Luo Empire, in addition to the emperor, also harbored three other Titled Douluo, capable of performing spirit fusion techniques. No wonder the Star Luo Empire had always been so aggressive against the major powers, its strength was truly formidable.
The Spirit Empire didn't rush to attack. Instead, it built a massive platform near its camp, nearly as high as the Star Luo Empire's walls. The center of the platform seemed to have been filled with seats, clearly serving another purpose.
