"The Elephant Armor Sect!"
Hearing the commotion outside, the members of the Yu clan, led by Niu Gao, all stood up with solemn expressions.
Niu Zhen said in a muffled voice, "Huyan Ting is an elder of the Elephant Armor Sect and also the brother of the sect leader Huyan Zhen. This is not the first time he has come here. His purpose is to swallow up our Yu clan and make it a branch of the Elephant Armor Sect."
Chen Feng nodded. He remembered this history. Among the seven major sects, the upper three sects were closely connected, while the lower four sects all supported the Spirit Hall. Presumably, the Elephant Armor Sect's restless actions were also inseparable from the Spirit Hall's special permission.
As they were talking, a giant man who was nearly 2.5 meters tall walked in.
This man looked nearly seventy years old, with gray hair and dark skin, resembling a mountain of flesh; he was none other than Huyan Ting.
Behind him were two burly men, each over two meters tall, who were direct disciples of the Elephant Armor Sect.
Chen Feng and the others were secretly astonished. The Yu clan was already quite large, but when they stood next to the Elephant Armor Sect, they paled in comparison.
"Hahaha, it's been a long time since we last met, Sect Leader Niu. I hope you don't mind my abrupt visit?" Hu Yanting laughed, his voice having a peculiar deep quality that made my eardrums buzz, whether intentionally or not.
"snort!"
Niu Gao snorted coldly, his face obviously not looking good. Hu Yanting's behavior was called a visit, but in reality, he had just barged in.
"I told you long ago, the Yu clan doesn't welcome you, so what are you doing here?" Niu Gao said unhappily.
Hu Yanting had his two accompanying disciples put down the gifts and said, "Sect Leader Niu, we rough men speak frankly. This is my second visit on behalf of the Elephant Armor Sect, and the purpose is the same as last time: as long as your Yu Clan joins the Elephant Armor Sect, I guarantee you a future of wealth and honor!"
Niu Gao coldly replied, "Thank you for your kindness, Elephant Armor Sect, but I don't think it's necessary. Even without joining you, our Yu Clan can live quite well."
Hu Yanting's face immediately darkened. He clasped his hands in a fist salute. "Sect Leader Niu, I don't want to waste time with idle talk. I'm just advising your Yu Clan not to force our Elephant Armor Sect to use diplomacy before resorting to force!"
After saying that, he waved his hand and left with his two disciples.
After they left, Niu Gao slammed his fist on the table.
A crack suddenly appeared on the half-foot-thick granite tabletop, and food and drinks bounced high into the air.
"Chenfeng, you're right. The tree may wish to be still, but the wind will not cease. Some things are simply beyond my control if I seek peace and stability. As you have seen, my Yu clan has repeatedly yielded, yet we have only earned the covetousness of others with wolfish ambitions. I think the alliance should be finalized as soon as possible," Niu Gao said in a deep voice.
Chen Feng nodded and said, "I will tell Uncle Ning when I get back, and ask the sect to prepare the land needed for the Po Clan and the Yu Clan to build their sects as soon as possible."
Niu Gao, with a composed expression, said, "This matter won't cause you any trouble, will it?"
"Clan Chief Niu is overthinking it. As an elder of the sect, I do have this much authority," Chen Feng said calmly.
Niu Zhen and Yang Wudi, standing to the side, were immediately taken aback.
"What? You're really an elder of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"
The two said in unison.
Only Yu Tianlong remained calmly seated, continuing his meal.
Niu Zhen and Yang Wudi stood frozen, their mouths agape, their faces filled with disbelief.
At first, they thought that Chen Feng had only brought the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's elder's token, and that the school had given him special permission to do so for his convenience. They never expected...
Only Niu Gao sighed and said, "I had already guessed, but I wasn't sure, because no sect has ever had an elder this young. It seems the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has high expectations for you!"
Chen Feng smiled and said modestly, "Not at all, I'm just an honorary elder. I'm far inferior to my grandfather's guardian elder, who holds the power of life and death in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."
Niu Gao was immediately startled: Chen Feng, Chen Xin...
"No wonder!" Niu Gao muttered to himself.
That's the successor of the Seven Kill Sword. If nothing unexpected happens, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will gain another Guardian Douluo in a few years. If he were Ning Fengzhi, he would do the same.
……
Chen Feng and his companions only stayed with the Yu Clan for two days before preparing to leave. Ning Rongrong and Oscar were teammates he needed to win over, and he couldn't let them get too close to Tang San.
Niu Zhen successfully joined the team. Before parting, Niu Gao held Chen Feng's hand and gave him some earnest advice.
"Chen Feng, my grandson Niu Zhen is almost eighteen years old now, but he only has a soul power of level thirty-four. His talent is not bad, but it is far from being comparable to a true genius. This is different from your other team members."
"Whether it's Yu Tianlong or Dianfeng, they are far superior to Niu Zhen. I only hope that under your leadership, Niu Zhen won't drag the team down. If you do find a suitable teammate in the future, please send him back. I won't let him affect your performance."
This simple old man showed no airs of a Soul Douluo-level powerhouse at this moment, acting like an old man worried about his grandson, nagging and giving instructions.
Niu Zhen said embarrassedly, "Grandpa, why are you saying this?"
Niu Gao glared at him and said, "Don't you know your own limitations? Let me tell you, their goal is the championship. You better do a good job over there and don't be a burden!"
"I understand—" Niu Zhen said in a muffled voice.
Chen Feng laughed and said, "Senior Niu, please rest assured. Now that I have decided to recruit Niu Zhen into the team, I will not give up on him easily. The armored giant rhinoceros's defense is even stronger than that of the diamond mammoth. With him, the support soul masters in the team will have an extra line of defense. We, the offensive soul masters, will feel more at ease charging ahead."
Niu Gao nodded repeatedly, "I'm relieved to hear that."
The four bid farewell to Niu Gao.
On this trip, Chenfeng found a total of three teammates.
Yu Tianlong possesses a top-tier beast martial soul, a mutated fire tyrannical dragon.
The Soul-Breaking Spear, a pure attack-attribute weapon, is Yang Dianfeng's weapon.
The plate-armored giant rhinoceros, Niu Zhen, boasts top-tier defensive attributes.
Furthermore, the alliance between the Breaking Clan, the Defending Clan, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is an unexpected bonus. This will undoubtedly strengthen the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's defenses, and most importantly, it will weaken Tang San's Tang Clan's power in the future.
It should be noted that these two major clans not only hated the Haotian Sect, but also Tang Hao. Their joining the Tang Sect was a reluctant move forced by circumstances.
As for choosing a seventh teammate, Chen Feng doesn't want to look for one for the time being. Right now, the most important thing is to bring Ning Rongrong and Oscar into the team.
Of course, we should also take this opportunity to go to Shrek Academy and have a match with them to see the difference in strength between the two sides. That would be the best whetstone.
