Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting - Chapter 1673: A Suitable Candidate for Fighting Sky Department Head?

Chapter 1673: Chapter 1673: A Suitable Candidate for Fighting Sky Department Head?

“So, that’s why I say, evil Soul Masters are actually a group of pitiable people. Their lives are truly tough; no one is born evil. After cleansing those who still wanted to commit evil acts back then, I studied the Holy Spirit Cult and decided to help those with Evil Martial Souls. So, you could say I’m the Holy Spirit Cult’s master, but it’s no longer the Holy Spirit Cult of the past. With the help of the Fighting Sky Department, I search across the entire federation for children with Evil Martial Soul Awakenings. Then, I gather them together for education. Tailor their education, allow them to grow up with Evil Martial Souls but live as normal people, especially in terms of moral education. When they grow up, they enter the Fighting Sky Department and become part of its law enforcement sector. They don’t even know they’re evil Soul Masters; they just know their strength is slightly different from others. According to the Fighting Sky Department’s requirements, they must live in the shadows while secretly contributing to humans.”

Ling Zichen interrupted him as he spoke, “Are you talking about the Dark Part within the Fighting Sky Department?”

Qiangu Qingfeng nodded, “That’s right. As the deputy minister of the Fighting Sky Department, you naturally know about the existence of the Dark Part. So, let me ask you, isn’t the contribution of the Dark Part significant?”

Ling Zichen nodded, “Very significant. The Dark Part has made outstanding contributions to the Fighting Sky Department. The Dark Part has always been mysterious, only under your control. I didn’t expect it to be composed of evil Soul Masters.”

Qiangu Qingfeng said with a smile, “Besides the research on brain domain development, this is my proudest achievement in my lifetime. Most early events I have mostly forgotten, but I found that doing positive and meaningful things truly makes one’s mind clear, and also contributes to further development of the brain domain. Therefore, for millennia, the Holy Spirit Cult never reappeared in the human world because evil Soul Masters have already embarked on the right path. Hence, regardless of how you all view me, I feel no guilt.”

Qiangu Qingfeng’s eyes noticeably brightened, shining brilliantly. Tang Wulin could sense his emotional fluctuations at this moment.

Qiangu Qingfeng looked at Tang Wulin and said, “It’s alright if I’m not the minister of the Fighting Sky Department anymore; you can decide what to do with me, but the Dark Part needs someone to manage and guide it. The work of the Dark Part must continue. Shrek Academy is truly admirable; therefore, it’s not a big deal to hand the Dark Part over to you. I’m asking either you lead personally or send capable people to command the Dark Part, continue to play their roles, and also provide a path for those children with Evil Martial Soul Awakenings.”

Tang Wulin looked at him and nodded slowly, “Brother Qingfeng, in this matter, you have done a great service to all of humanity. I respect you. It was because of your aggressive stance against the envoy that I revealed your identity. If you are still willing to serve as the minister of the Fighting Sky Department, as long as you cooperate with us on major issues, of course, you’ll continue in that role.”

Qiangu Qingfeng shook his head with a bitter smile, “No need. In fact, even without today’s events, I wanted to step down already. My divine consciousness is reaching its limit. You should be able to feel it somewhat. My brain domain can’t continue to develop, and although my divine consciousness is at a Super God Level, even then, it has a time limit. My flesh body can’t do anything to constrain my divine consciousness. Therefore, I fear I really have to leave this world. Entrusting these things to you might be a good choice. Initially, I wanted to break away from the Spirit Pagoda’s Qiangu Huiguang. After all, I was born in the Spirit Pagoda, I have some biases, now it seems like I’ve passed the baton to you. So it’s not a problem to hand it over to you. You leading the Fighting Sky Department might be better.”

Tang Wulin didn’t decline further and nodded slightly, “Alright, in that case, I’ll temporarily take on the responsibility of the Fighting Sky Department. I also promise you, regardless of who inherits the control of the Fighting Sky Department in the future, they will treat the Dark Part kindly.”

Qiangu Qingfeng suddenly seemed to remember something and said, “Within the Dragon Horse Federation, there’s a level 9 Sky Fighter from our Fighting Sky Department who is undercover, hidden among the Dragon Clan high hierarchy. If he can return in the future, I believe it would be an excellent choice. If possible, he should succeed as the minister of the Fighting Sky Department. If I’m not mistaken, that young man should be from your Shrek Academy. He’s a talented individual and the information he brought back is immensely useful, greatly enhancing our understanding of the Dragon Horse Federation.”

Tang Wulin and Ling Zichen exchanged smiles, Ling Zichen smiled and said, “You’re about to leave with us soon, so there’s no harm in telling you. The person you confronted at the congress is actually the one you admire.”

Qiangu Qingfeng was taken aback for a moment, and then he exclaimed, “What did you say? That Ms. Blue, that’s… no, our undercover agent is a male. He should be named Lan Xuanyu, Lan Xuanyu… Lan… this…”

He was completely flustered. After doing intelligence work for so many years, controlling the entire Fighting Sky Department, he never thought such a situation would occur.

The one just now? The extraordinarily beautiful woman who stood clearly at the congress meeting, arguing about the dangers of the Deep Crimson Domain while logically disputing, turned out to be the level 9 Sky Fighter from the Fighting Sky Department? And he, the minister, foolishly confronted her.

If he could blush, his face would probably be as red as a monkey’s bottom. Qiangu Qingfeng sighed bitterly, almost laughing and crying, “I really want to find a hole to hide in. Oh, my! He’s too outstanding. Not only did he disguise himself as a woman so brilliantly, even my Super God Rank divine consciousness couldn’t detect it. He managed to infiltrate the enemy and became part of their high management, yet returned to the federation to serve as an envoy. This completely overturns my understanding of an undercover agent.”

Tang Wulin smiled, “Thank you for the compliment, that’s my son. So you should understand what’s happening today. What he spoke of today, regarding the Deep Crimson Domain, is all true. The Deep Crimson Domain must be dealt with, and it should be the primary target. Although the Dragon Horse Federation is a threat, it’s not terrifying. What’s truly disastrous for us would be if the Deep Crimson Domain became a Divine Realm, so no matter what, we cannot allow it to happen.”

Taking a deep breath, Qiangu Qingfeng calmed his emotions a bit, then bitterly smiled, “Alright, alright. I have nothing left to say. Anyway, you can just find a place you deem suitable for me to spend my twilight years. Knowing so many secrets now, I can’t possibly go anywhere else alive. Based on my estimation, I have ten years left to live. I want to record all of my life’s research in writing. I’ll donate it all to your Shrek Academy. I really can’t bear to part with my research!”

Ling Zichen suddenly smiled, “What? Planning to die in ten years? That’s not going to be easy. You’ve lived ten thousand years, I’ve lived ten thousand years too, aren’t you curious how I managed it? I did not perform any brain domain development either. To be honest, even ten thousand years ago, I was already the chief scientist of the Tang Sect and also the head of its research institute.”

Qiangu Qingfeng froze for a moment, no longer the Ultimate Douluo he once was, but a science fanatic, listening to Ling Zichen immediately piqued his interest, “Then how did you manage?”

Ling Zichen smiled slightly, “I have my ways, not as dumb as you. Learn from me, and let me see if I can help you live a few more years. Hmm, it shouldn’t be a big problem. But I have conditions. Since you say you can only live for another ten years, then anything beyond that must belong to the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy. So, as long as I help you live longer, you must work for the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy. Does this deal sound fair?”
