Regarding the upcoming continental elite competition, Xuebing was naturally concerned. If the students from the New Tiandou Federation Academy could achieve good results, it would significantly enhance their prestige.
Soul Masters are the most noble profession in this world.
Especially after the invasion of the Sun and Moon Continent, Tang San single-handedly forced the invaders to kneel and adhere to his rules, showcasing the immense power of Soul Masters to the world!
Although Xuebing believed that a peculiar throne was more powerful, it was undeniable that a Soul Master like Tang San could easily determine the outcome of a war. Furthermore, if he wished, he could help the Spirit Hall unify the entire continent.
However, Tang San simply had no interest in doing so...
Xuebing considered herself perceptive enough to see this, but to be safe, the New Tiandou Federation must cultivate its own powerful Soul Masters.
"Uncle, what do you think about sending Poison Douluo to train the academy students?" Xuebing recalled Dugu Bo, a Titled Douluo with an eccentric temperament. However, since he was the grandfather of Dugu Yan, who frequently communicated with Tang San and others in Spirit City, it might be possible to glean some secrets about Tang San's teaching methods through Dugu Bo, thereby strengthening the federation's students.
"I'm afraid that's not feasible."
Xuexing could only say that while Xuebing's idea was excellent, Dugu Bo would only agree to serve as a guest elder to repay his life-saving grace, and he would definitely not obey Xuebing's orders.
Even if he were to appeal, a person as eccentric as Dugu Bo might not comply. Besides, Poison Douluo was also his assurance for a peaceful retirement! "Poison Douluo is naturally carefree and reclusive; he often goes missing during ordinary times, so it's best not to disturb him."
"Your Majesty, I believe that even without Poison Douluo, we still have a chance of winning. After all, our New Tiandou Federation has an emerging force called the Transcender Alliance, right?"
"Aren't they claiming to have pierced through the Three Kingdoms and surpassed all Soul Masters? I've also investigated them, and indeed, there are some exceptionally gifted individuals among them who can fight beyond their level. Shouldn't we invite them?"
The Transcender Alliance...
Xuebing had certainly heard of it, but she had always been wary of this force. After all, they had migrated from the Tiandou Empire and could potentially be spies planted by Xue qinghe within the New Tiandou Federation, which is why she had never engaged with them.
In fact, this caution arose because, with the rapid development of Tiandou City and the surrounding areas, the members of the Transcender Alliance found it increasingly difficult to deceive others, as people had become more astute.
Moreover, to establish a presence in Tiandou City, sect members from Spirit City had to report to the Spirit Hall and Tiandou City; otherwise, they would be viewed as "unlicensed sects."
If they were small, they might escape scrutiny, but if they grew large enough to create a significant impact, then both parties would come looking for them.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and other sects were indifferent to this, as they had always cooperated with the Spirit Hall and the Tiandou Empire; it was merely an additional formality.
However, for an organization like the Transcender Alliance, this formality could be detrimental—they were required to pay one million gold soul coins to both the Tiandou Empire and the Spirit Hall each year to establish a sect.
If they refused to pay, they could still establish a sect but would be unable to recruit members.
Left with no other choice, Feng Ming of the Transcender Alliance could only bring back Huo Ke and Tang Laoya, who had returned almost empty-handed from Spirit City, to the New Tiandou Federation, where there were not so many regulations.
As for the name "Transcender Alliance," Feng Ming and the others had no intention of changing it; they would provide an explanation to the Douluo natives, but for their peers, no explanation was needed. As long as they understood the meaning behind it, they would naturally come looking for them.
"Can we trust the members of the Transcender Alliance?" Xue bing finally voiced her inner doubt.
"Trust those you employ; doubt those you do not," Xue xing replied, shaking his head. "Regardless of whether they can be trusted, they are at least within the territory of the New Tiandou Federation, aren't they?"
"Moreover, Your Majesty, if Xue Qinghe wanted to investigate our situation, it would be quite easy. Let's not forget that Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is his teacher, and the Min family has sworn allegiance to them."
"In terms of intelligence, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is likely better than the Spirit Hall," Xuebing remarked, her expression darkening. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was indeed a significant threat to the New Tiandou Federation, and with Xue Qinghe aligned with them, they had to be on guard. However, the New Tiandou Federation lacked reconnaissance-type Soul Masters with speeds comparable to the Min family.
The New Tiandou Federation had many strengths, but what it lacked was personnel...
"Let's proceed with this for now. Please trouble my uncle to invite the Transcender Alliance to the Federation Academy and ask them to assist in training our students," Xue bing said, her face full of concern.
"Rest assured, Your Majesty, I will make sure to invite them," Xue xing vowed, planning to bring Dugu Bo along, confident that they would not be dismissed...

The headquarters of the Transcender Alliance was located within the New Tiandou Federation City, covering about three thousand square meters. It was small, but for now, it was sufficient.
"Speaking of which, the Transcender Alliance has made a name for itself, so why are only the few of us here?" Feng Ming initiated a discussion meeting.
Though Hawk was the leader of the Transcender Alliance, the funding came from the Feng family, which gave Feng Ming a significant say in matters.
"We can't fathom the thoughts of all the Transcenders. Not all of them like to congregate, and not every Transcender has read Douluo Dalu," Hawk shrugged, lazily leaning back in his chair. "I even saw two Transcenders in Spirit City who served as maids to Tang San; they probably hadn't even read the novels."
Tang Laoya shared his perspective: "I think calling ourselves the Transcender Alliance is a bit foolish. What if there are only a handful of Transcenders in this Douluo Dalu?"
"It can't just be a few," Feng Ming countered. "Like newspapers and media outlets, they didn't originate with Tang San. I suspect there might be some sort of time-space portal connecting Douluo Dalu and Earth, which is why certain concepts in this world are not too different from those on Earth."
"If that's the case, then Xiao Yan in 'Battle Through the Heavens' wasn't the first Transcender either, since the Jia Nan Academy evaluates student qualifications using English letters," Hawk quipped, mocking the ancient and inconsistent settings of web literature. "We should blame the original author for not setting things up properly. Now that we've crossed into Douluo Dalu, we're merely encountering similar situations."
Tang Laoya added, "If we really need to explain, we can only push it onto the Transcenders."
Feng Ming was at a loss for words. His goal wasn't to attribute every illogical occurrence to the Transcenders; he wanted to draw attention to the issue and uncover other hidden Transcenders! Moreover, how had this alliance, initially organized by Hawk, turned into him doing all the work? These two seemed to be living in leisure, treating the alliance like a mere side gig!
He even wondered if these two had visited Spirit City, witnessed Tang San's true power, and had since gone into seclusion, choosing to take it easy.
Especially Hawk—what happened to that initial ambition of yours, to "take charge and create a powerful foundation of Transcenders to challenge the five Divine Kings"?
