----

There were only three days of rest after the qualifier round ended.

During this period, the various academies had to pack their bags, adjust their state of mind, and make all the necessary preparations for battle to welcome the greater challenge in the future.

Three days later, fifteen teams would depart from Heaven Dou City. They would be escorted by the Royal Knights to Martial Spirit City to participate in the finals. The finals of this year's Soul Master Tournament will be held in Martial Spirit City.

Martial Spirit City was the headquarters of the Martial Spirit Hall. It was located at the border between the two empires. It was a special existence. Neither the Heaven Dou Empire nor the Star Luo Empire had the right to own Martial Spirit City. This majestic city belonged solely to the Martial Spirit Hall.

Most importantly, the Pontiff's Palace, one of the most majestic halls of the Martial Spirit Hall, was located in Martial Spirit City.

Martial Spirit City was the most majestic building on the Douluo Continent. It was also a holy city revered by tens of thousands of people.

Heaven Dou City was the imperial city of the Heaven Dou Empire, while Martial Spirit City was located at the border of the empire. The two cities were quite far from each other. It would take about twenty days to travel by horse carriage.

The finals would take another ten days.

Therefore, the Martial Spirit Hall would take about thirty days to decide the final champion of this year's Soul Master Tournament. Whether it was the participants or the audience, everyone was looking forward to the finals.

Heaven Dou City, Imperial Palace Hall!

"This is how it is …"

In the center of the hall, Fang Xuan explained his plan to the Emperor. In the past two days, he had been running around everywhere. He had contacted Dugu Bo and the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect. The curtains had already been drawn …

Now, he just had to wait for the Emperor to make the final decision.

Fang Xuan stood calmly in the hall. He stared at the Emperor unblinkingly, waiting for the latter's reply.

The hall fell into a long silence. The Emperor leaned back on his dragon throne. He closed his eyes and furrowed his brows. He seemed to be thinking about something very important.

Fang Xuan didn't say anything. He just waited quietly. Now, everything was ready. All that was left was to see if the Snowy Night Emperor believed in Fang Xuan.

The hall was dead silent. There was not a single person within a hundred meters of the hall. Even the Crown Prince, Xue Qinghe, had been sent away by the Emperor. At this moment, only Fang Xuan and the Emperor were left in the hall.

Only the two of them knew how much risk this plan entailed. If things didn't go well … the country might perish.

After a long silence, the Snowy Night Emperor finally opened his eyes slowly. He looked at Fang Xuan expressionlessly and said solemnly, "You said that the Platinum Bishop, Salas, once sent assassins to assassinate you?"

"Okay." Fang Xuan nodded seriously.

"You're saying that we'll be intercepted by the Martial Spirit Palace on our way to the Martial Spirit City?" The Emperor continued.

"Yes." Fang Xuan's eyes were as calm as still water.

"You're also saying that the Martial Spirit Palace will even send a Titled Douluo for this assassination?" The Emperor's voice suddenly turned cold. It was as cold as the snow in winter, piercing to the bone.

Hearing this, Fang Xuan's heart turned cold. He couldn't help but sigh. He knew that this plan was most likely ruined. But it was also true. Since ancient times, Emperors have always been suspicious and unpredictable. They wouldn't trust anyone. Just based on Fang Xuan's words, the Emperor would bet the entire empire's treasure on Fang Xuan's plan.

Unrealistic.

There was no other way. Without the Emperor's approval, it would be difficult to gain the support of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect. After all, Ning Fengzhi had always been close to the royal family. This meant that the only power Fang Xuan could borrow was Dugu Bo …

It was far from enough.

Fang Xuan was a little helpless. Knowing the future development of Douluo, he knew that on the way to Martial Spirit City, they would be intercepted by the Martial Spirit Palace. He and Tang San would both be included in the Martial Spirit Palace's must-kill list.

And in this assassination, the Martial Spirit Palace would send out more than a thousand elite assassins. There was no lack of powerful soul masters among them. Most importantly, there would be two Titled Douluo!

This was a life-and-death calamity. They had to be prepared in advance. At this moment, Fang Xuan couldn't help but think of Crazy 'Ole, who had been missing. If Crazy' Ole was here, together with Dugu Bo and the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, they could beat Spirit Hall at their own game. They could wipe out all the assassins from the Martial Spirit Palace in one fell swoop and deal a heavy blow to the Martial Spirit Palace.

But it was a pity that there was no news of Crazy 'Ole. No one knew if he was dead or alive. Furthermore, the Snowy Night Emperor obviously wouldn't trust Fang Xuan so easily …

Fang Xuan frowned and fell into a dilemma.

"Fang Xuan, do you want me to gamble the entire empire and take the risk with you? Do you know what kind of risk this will entail? Do you want me to trust you with just a few words?"

The Emperor's voice deepened. It was obvious that he was furious. He stared at Fang Xuan without blinking.

"Since Your Majesty doesn't trust me, then I'll take my leave."

Fang Xuan sighed in his heart. He didn't say anything else. He bowed respectfully to the Snowy Night Emperor and prepared to leave.

"Wait! Who said I don't trust you?"

The Emperor suddenly smiled and stared seriously at Fang Xuan's research. He said resolutely, "I trust you because you are my son"

Eh, what a wonderful turn of events. What a trick! Fang Xuan was surprised and almost touched.

Fang Xuan, who was well-versed in the Thick Black Theory, knew that the Emperor was slapping him first, then a sweet date to eat. It was purely to win people's hearts.

However, he couldn't help but reveal a happy expression. The matter was settled.

"Thank you, Your Majesty"

Fang Xuan smiled and bowed seriously to the Emperor.

Now that the Emperor had passed, the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect wouldn't have any problems. When the time came, the Heaven Dou Empire's elite troops, Dugu Bo, and the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect's Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo would join forces to kill the Martial Spirit Hall.

Fang Xuan was a little excited. It was as if he could see the blood-boiling battle in the future. Didn't Sacas try to kill him? Fang Xuan could beat him at his own game. He planned carefully along the way and took the opportunity to kill Sacas and the others!

"Fang Xuan, everything will go according to your plan. I will send the empire's most elite Soul Master troops disguised as ordinary soldiers to secretly escort you. I will also call the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect to help you"

The Emperor smiled kindly and strongly supported Fang Xuan's plan.

He had been the emperor for dozens of years. He deeply understood that there would be a war between the empire and the Martial Spirit Palace sooner or later. If what Fang Xuan had predicted was true, of course, he wouldn't let go of such a good opportunity to weaken the Martial Spirit Palace.

"Oh right, Fang Xuan"

The Snowy Night Emperor suddenly thought of something important. He smiled and looked at Fang Xuan gently. "This journey will be dangerous. Your safety is unpredictable. I have a gift for you" He reminded Fang Xuan.

"Gift?"

Fang Xuan was slightly startled and gradually revealed a look of anticipation.

----

Under Fang Xuan's expectant gaze, the Emperor smiled mysteriously. He opened his right palm, and a dazzling blue light was released, illuminating the entire hall in an instant.

This was a very peculiar treasure. It was triangular, and it was about the size of a child's palm. It was completely translucent, like a flawless sapphire, and it shimmered with a dazzling light. Divine light shone from within, and surging energy seeped out from its surface.

Fang Xuan's attention was immediately drawn to it.

"This … this is …"

Fang Xuan's eyes glowed brightly as an exciting name appeared in his mind.

The Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.

Its true identity was the Sea God's Heart, and it was the core of the Sea God's Trident.

This was a genuine divine artifact.

Even though it was only a part of the Sea God's Trident, it was the core of the Sea God's Trident, and it was immensely powerful. Furthermore, this Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud had another function: it was the Sea God's Legacy Artifact.

Whoever received the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud's acknowledgment would receive the Sea God's favor, and they would be able to go to the Sea God's Island to participate in the divine-rank test in the future.

In a sense, this Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud was equivalent to a divine-rank qualification certificate.

Fang Xuan looked at the triangular Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, and a hint of desire appeared in his eyes.

Who wouldn't be tempted by a divine-rank treasure?

"This is the Heaven Dou Empire's national treasure, the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud. This treasure has a mysterious origin, and its value far surpasses that of a hundred thousand-year soul bone. I've asked many famous powerful beings to appraise this item, but unfortunately, no one was able to decipher its secrets. Even though no one was able to, everyone who has seen this Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud has marveled at it and revered it as a divine-rank treasure.

Some say that it's the relic of a Pinnacle Douluo, some say that it's the remains of the Demon Monarch, and some say that it's a legacy artifact left in the mortal realm by the Heavenly Gods. There are many different theories, and it's hard to tell."

The Snowy Night Emperor had a benevolent smile on his face as he patiently introduced the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud to Fang Xuan. "However, there's one thing that I'm sure of: this treasure's value is immeasurable."

I know that much better than you do.

Fang Xuan muttered.

As a transmigrator, if he didn't even know this, wouldn't he have wasted his time?

At this moment, the Emperor suddenly walked down from his throne and slowly made his way over to Fang Xuan. He handed the sapphire-like Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud over to Fang Xuan. "Fang Xuan, from now on, I'm handing the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud over to you. I hope this treasure will protect you on your journey."

"What? For me?"

Fang Xuan was stunned. His eyes were filled with shock.

He couldn't believe his ears. A divine artifact was given to him just like that?

A sense of ecstasy suddenly welled up in Fang Xuan's heart as he looked at the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud that was right in front of him. He excitedly extended his hand as he tried to take the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud from Xue Ye.

However, just as his fingers were about to come into contact with the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, Fang Xuan suddenly faltered. A grim expression appeared on his face as he quickly withdrew his hand. He was avoiding this treasure as if it were a poisonous scorpion.

When he came to his senses and thought about it carefully, he realized that something wasn't quite right. He wanted this Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, but before he could steal it, the Emperor had delivered it to him on a silver platter.

There was … something fishy going on here.

With that thought in mind, Fang Xuan suddenly shuddered. A chill rose from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. He couldn't help but shudder, and even his back was instantly drenched in cold sweat.

This was a divine-rank treasure.

Firstly, he hadn't saved the world. Secondly, he hadn't protected the peace of the universe. Thirdly, he hadn't saved Xue Ye. So why was he giving it to him?

Was he being rewarded for nothing?

There was something fishy going on here.

Fang Xuan's expression became more and more grave as his imagination ran wild.

What kind of ulterior motives does this emperor have?

He's not testing me, is he?

Just like in ancient movies, many emperors liked to put on a kind face and show concern for their well-being. In the end, they would inadvertently throw out the bait as a test to see if you were secretly coveting my throne.

Danger.

It's too dangerous.

Who knows, the moment you agree to it, a group of imperial guards might suddenly rush out and rub Fang Xuan against the ground.

The Emperor couldn't even bear to give the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud to Xue Qinghe, but he suddenly gave it to Fang Xuan. Who would believe that there was nothing fishy going on here?

If he wanted to live a peaceful life, he had to give up this treasure.

After thinking it through, Fang Xuan let out a long sigh and said seriously to the Snowy Night Emperor, "Your Majesty, this Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud … I can't accept it."

"Uh."

This time, it was the Emperor's turn to be dumbfounded. Two days ago, he was arguing with Salas over tens of thousands of gold soul coins. Now, he didn't want a treasure that fell from the sky.

Why did this brat suddenly change his personality?

The Emperor was a little speechless. He was very puzzled and asked suspiciously, "Why?"

"Because this Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud is the cornerstone treasure of the empire. It's too valuable, and I haven't made any great contributions. I don't want to accept it," Fang Xuan replied.

"Alright, Fang Xuan, you don't have to worry so much. Although you haven't made any great contributions to the Empire, your stunning performance in the Soul Master Tournament has brought great glory to our empire. That's why this Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud belongs to you," The Snowy Night Emperor persuaded with a smile.

"Here you go." The Snowy Night Emperor handed the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud to Fang Xuan again.

"I don't want it." Fang Xuan shook his head like a rattledrum.

He was sure that there was a trap here.

"I'm giving it to you." The Emperor thought that Fang Xuan was being modest.

"I don't want it." Fang Xuan said solemnly.

"I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you." The Emperor was losing his patience.

"I don't want it." Fang Xuan revealed his true feelings.

"Accept my orders" The Emperor raised his eyebrows and assumed the dignified posture of a ruler.

"I dare not" Fang Xuan had a solemn expression on his face. He cupped his hands, bowed, and said with all his might.

The two of them were in a stalemate. They couldn't even give away a god-grade supreme treasure.

The Emperor's expression was a little funny. He wanted to cry. The cornerstone treasure of the Heaven Dou Empire was given to Fang Xuan for free, but this brat didn't want it. What's going on? Did he get hit in the head recently? Should I take him to see a doctor?

The Emperor was dumbfounded by Fang Xuan's counterattack. As a native of Douluo, he had never seen such a counterattack from a new generation of new humans. He didn't understand.

In the end, the Emperor broke down. His face was full of vicissitudes and helplessness. Even his body was a little weak. He passed the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud to Fang Xuan for the umpteenth time. He said in a pleading tone, "Just accept it. Treat it as a favor. Can you."

At this point, if he didn't agree, he would probably be punished severely.

"Alright, I'll take it."

Fang Xuan suddenly snatched the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud. He expressed his gratitude first, then bowed. Finally, he calmly kept the treasure in his soul tool.

His actions were smooth and fluid. The Emperor's mouth twitched. What's this brat doing now?

If it's a blessing, it's not a curse. If it's a curse, it can't be avoided.

Fang Xuan thought about it, and a determined look appeared in his eyes. Looking at the Emperor's attitude, he couldn't reject the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud. He could only reluctantly … accept it.
