A Sixty-Thousand-Year Fourth Soul Ring, a Titled Douluo's Request for Help
With nothing else to do, Chu Xuan thought of the Blue Silver Emperor, Ah Yin.
She was the protagonist Tang San's mother. Although she appeared only a few times in the story, she was a very important person.
It was necessary to bring her over.
Perhaps she could trigger some choices for him.
As for which academy to attend, he had already made up his mind.
Shrek Academy!
Shrek Academy seemed to be a hurdle no transmigrator could avoid.
But as long as he handled things well, the rewards would definitely be satisfying.
Tang San, that transmigrator, had been destined to become a stepping stone from the moment Chu Xuan arrived in this world.
To prevent him from causing Spirit Hall too much trouble in the future, it was better to suppress him first.
As for fortuitous encounters and the like, he would simply snatch them.
He would see what other good things this world's Heavenly Dao would produce for the protagonist after he snatched those opportunities.
Elder Huo Ling headed for the cave near Holy Soul Village as he had requested.
Chu Xuan, meanwhile, wandered around Spirit City all day, looking for more opportunities to trigger choices.
Three days passed, but he still hadn't triggered a new choice.
He hadn't even found a single spy.
Nor had he seen a single important character from the story.
Fortunately, he had fully adapted to the Myriad Treasures Divine Eyes over those three days.
This thing really was a cheat.
Once activated, it could see through the essence of everything in the world.
Anyone's Soul Power Level, Martial Soul, Soul Ring Configuration, and so on were laid bare before him.
Even in battle, the Myriad Treasures Divine Eyes could see through any movement an opponent made.
Every move was as slow as an ant before him.
Inside the eastern palace, Chu Xuan was preparing to go out for a stroll.
Over the past few days, thanks to Bibi Dong's orders, the Heaven Dou Shadow Guards in Spirit City had all been caught in one sweep, with fifteen people arrested.
The spies from the other Soul Master factions and the Star Luo Imperial Family had also been caught.
The operation had been highly efficient.
Bibi Dong was indeed very capable; she had even personally overseen several of the arrests.
She knew every corner of Spirit City like the back of her hand.
She could even guess where the spies were most likely to be hiding.
Chu Xuan couldn't help marveling that this woman really was formidable.
If she hadn't been so love-brained, Spirit Hall would probably have ruled the entire Douluo Continent long ago. What place would there have been for the two great empires and the Upper Three Sects?
Chu Xuan had only just stepped through the palace gates when a beam of divine light descended from the sky.
"Is the God-Given Soul Ring here?"
Chu Xuan looked up. The divine presence was very familiar; it belonged to the God of Destruction.
It was understandable that the God-Given Soul Ring had only just arrived.
Time flowed completely differently in the Divine Realm and on Douluo Star, so a slight delay was perfectly normal.
Within the divine light, a black Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring slowly descended.
[ Ding! God-Level Choice triggered. Please select one of the following! ] [ Choice one: Accept the God-Given Soul Ring from the God of Destruction. Reward: Increase the age of the First Soul Ring by one thousand years! ] [ Choice two: Crush the God-Given Soul Ring. Reward: A sixty-thousand-year Fourth Soul Ring and a ten-thousand-year increase to the age of the First Soul Ring! ] [ Choice three: After accepting the God-Given Soul Ring, kneel and kowtow in thanks. Reward: Affinity with the God of Destruction +5! ]
As soon as the three choices appeared, Chu Xuan chose the second without a moment's thought.
A sixty-thousand-year Fourth Soul Ring was the real prize.
The first reward would also give him a Fourth Soul Ring, but it probably wouldn't be very old.
And it would only increase the age of his First Soul Ring by a thousand years, making it far less worthwhile.
The third choice would increase his affinity with the God of Destruction, which seemed to be related to an inheritance.
But kowtow in thanks?
Did the God of Destruction really deserve that much face?
Having made his choice, he decisively raised a hand, seized the descending God-Given Soul Ring, and squeezed hard.
Crack!
The God-Given Soul Ring shattered.
He then glanced up at the sky before looking away.
The choice task was complete. His Fourth Soul Ring appeared and fused with him in an instant.
The Soul Power boost from a sixty-thousand-year soul ring was truly terrifying.
His Soul Power Level soared from forty to forty-six.
"Feels great~"
Chu Xuan couldn't help shouting.
His level was low right now, so the improvement from a sixty-thousand-year soul ring was especially dramatic.
If his Soul Power Level were higher, it would raise him by far fewer levels.
After receiving the reward, he was full of drive and wanted to take a stroll around the city immediately.
On such a good day, shouldn't he trigger a few more choices?
Just then, two people approached from ahead.
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo!
"What are you here for?"
Chu Xuan was a little surprised to see them.
He hadn't seen them for several days; they had probably been carrying out some mission.
In the original story, these two were the most loyal to Bibi Dong.
They could be called evil, but their loyalty couldn't be questioned.
Viewed another way, they were merely carrying out their superior's orders.
And when it came to their actions against the protagonist's camp, who could say who was right or wrong?
Because Tang San was the protagonist, actions against him were automatically defined as evil.
If Bibi Dong were the protagonist, then Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo's actions would surely be defined as righteous.
At most, people would say they were decisive in killing and extreme in their methods.
Condemn them?
Impossible.
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo bowed their heads and said respectfully, "Greetings, Lord God Child."
They had just seen the God-Given Soul Ring descend, and they had also seen Chu Xuan crush it, frightening them so badly that their faces turned pale.
A God-Given Soul Ring that others could only dream of obtaining was apparently nothing but trash in this lord's eyes.
He didn't even give the God of Destruction the slightest bit of face.
He was so domineering!
"Lord God Child, we have a favor to ask."
Two Titled Douluo had come to him for help. That was interesting.
If even Titled Douluo couldn't handle the matter, could he?
Although he had shown that he had powerful backing, his own cultivation wasn't high.
"Lord God Child, while investigating Yu Xiaogang, we discovered something rather strange. Someone seems to be deliberately concealing information about him."
"Or perhaps they're trying to conceal information about Yu Xiaogang's disciple, Tang San."
"Oh? Tell me what happened."
Something stirred in Chu Xuan's mind, and he roughly understood what was going on.
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo had joined forces to investigate Yu Xiaogang's whereabouts and had probably already found him over in Nuoding City.
After finding him, they had naturally followed the trail from Yu Xiaogang and discovered Tang San as well.
But they had encountered some resistance while investigating Tang San.
They had been unable to learn Tang San's true identity.
Someone had been erasing information about their identities from the shadows.
The person capable of doing that was probably Tang Hao.
Unable to uncover any results, the two could only return and report back.
After hearing about it, Bibi Dong immediately announced that she would personally make a trip to Nuoding City.
Unable to dissuade her, they had come to Chu Xuan for help.
After hearing the whole story, Chu Xuan said calmly, "Then what choice do you think Bibi Dong will make?"
"Does the current Bibi Dong still have lingering feelings for Yu Xiaogang?"
The two exchanged a glance.
It wasn't their place to speak out of turn, but they were truly afraid the Pope would make a grave mistake.
The God Child was not someone to be trifled with. If she angered him, she would surely die!
So they would restrain her before the Pope made a grave mistake.
"Forget it. Since Bibi Dong wants to go to Nuoding City, follow her and watch closely how she handles it."
"She's the Pope. You should have a little confidence in her."
