Burial (Revised)

Just as the leader was untying Ye Lei, the Seventh Elder spoke.

"I had them bring you here because I wanted to ask you something."

"What is it?"

"What do you think about the Douluo-fication of the entire world?" the Seventh Elder asked.

"Uh... this... I really don't know how to put it." Ye Lei was stumped by the Seventh Elder's question.

"Tell me, when you killed that monster, what was that black ring hanging at your waist? And why did that monster turn around and try to run when it saw you..." The Seventh Elder fired off a string of questions like a machine gun.

Ye Lei was speechless. Does this old man not need to breathe when he talks? He's more quick-witted than a young man like me...

Seventh Elder: Please, I'm the seventh-ranked elder, okay?

Five minutes... later.

Ye Lei finally finished explaining everything. Seeing the looks of understanding on the Seventh Elder and the others' faces, he let out a breath of relief. I finally finished. I nearly let slip that I have a system.

System: Why, thank you so much.

"Ding! Host, there's one more thing I need to tell you!" The system's voice appeared in Ye Lei's mind at the most inappropriate moment.

"Go ahead. Keep it short."

"Okay! Here's the thing: in the game, every Soul Master could only use their first four Soul Skills. All later Soul Skills were passive. But now that it has merged with the real world, every martial soul can use its Soul Skills normally!"

Hearing that, Ye Lei could only shout, "Nice!" Didn't that make him just as overpowered as Tang San? Oh, no—he was even more overpowered than Tang San.

Because he was bound to the Douluo Game System, he could possess every martial soul already available in the game. He was countless times stronger than everyone else.

"Oh, right, Elder Xiao, I still don't know what your martial soul is. Could you let this junior take a look?" Remembering something, Ye Lei suddenly asked the Seventh Elder.

"Sure, have a look." The Seventh Elder was very straightforward.

As he spoke, a red light burst forth from the Seventh Elder's body.

The moment Ye Lei saw this, he instantly frowned.

The red light faded, and a long staff appeared in the Seventh Elder's hand.

A massive dragon coiled around the staff, its eyes gleaming with ferocity.

The Seventh Elder's martial soul was the Coiling Dragon Staff!

Looks like I was right. Among the Ten Great Elders, the Sixth Elder and the Seventh Elder are twins. Now that I know the Seventh Elder's martial soul is the Coiling Dragon Staff, the Sixth Elder's must be the same!

"Young man, there's something that must be handled by you. Are you willing?"

Hearing the Seventh Elder's words, Ye Lei immediately felt that something was wrong.

"What is it? Please speak plainly, Seventh Elder."

"Come be an adviser to our Elder Hall. We can give you honor and endless wealth!" The Seventh Elder looked at Ye Lei.

"What if I refuse? I like living the life I enjoy. I don't want to join any Elder Hall. Besides, I'm still a student. If there's nothing else, Elder Xiao, please let me go back!"

"Since you don't want to join our Elder Hall, you have no value left. Oh, and that little girlfriend of yours and her whole family will disappear from this world along with you! Why not reconsider?" the Seventh Elder sneered.

"How dare you! If you dare touch their family, I'll make you bury yourselves with me!"

"That may not be the case, because you won't live much longer! Kill him! Get him!"

"You forced my hand."

Everyone in the room raised their guns at once and aimed them at Ye Lei.

"Fire!"

"Fourth Soul Skill, Blue Silver—Cage!"

The instant the guns went off, a massive cage surrounded Ye Lei. The bullets struck it without doing any damage, falling to the ground one after another with a clatter.

"Now it's my turn. Fifth Soul Skill, Blue Silver Overlord Spear!" Ye Lei's icy voice rang out.

A cold flash of light swept across the entire room.
