Hypnosis

Upon hearing Bo Saixi call his name, Su Cheng immediately realized that she had come all the way to the mainland to find him.

Otherwise, there would be no way she would have left Sea God Island at this time.

She wouldn't even leave the Sea God Hall unless it was something urgent, and it was common for her to sit in that dark and secluded temple for years.

Moreover, Bo Saixi not only came to the mainland, but also staked out the vicinity of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, recognizing him with unerring accuracy.

Aside from being influenced by Simulation memories, Su Cheng couldn't think of a second reason.

To be honest, the other party's action surprised him greatly.

In Su Cheng's mind, Sea God Island was isolated overseas, and he was not a big shot, so it was impossible for them to have heard of his name.

It's truly hard to understand why someone would resolutely leave Sea God Island, which they've protected for so many years, just for a vague dream memory, and come to the Douluo Continent to find out the truth.

Before this, even when Tang Chen had been missing for many years, she was not allowed to step out of the Sea God Hall.

However, since Bo Saixi has come here, it's unlikely to be anything good.

In the Simulated World, Su Cheng destroyed the Seven Sacred Pillars, extinguished the Sea God's Light, and even destroyed the Sea God Mountain and shattered the Sea God Hall, almost completely severing the Sea God's legacy.

Given Bo Saixi's identity and her faith in the Sea God, once she truly discovers his existence, even if she doesn't immediately kill him, she will definitely try her best to suppress the potential threat to the minimum.

However, Su Cheng didn't have a good way to deal with this situation.

The difference in strength between the two is simply too great.

Unless he uses the Ring Shattering Secret Technique to unleash his full potential in battle at the cost of significantly weakening the Longevity Sword's future development potential, he would be no match for Bo Saixi in his normal state, even if he used his Innate Power.

In that instant, Su Cheng's mind began to race, considering various countermeasures.

If the cost of using force is too high, then acting is the only option.

Indeed, in reality he doesn't have the acting skills of a "Veteran Actor," but he has a little trick—self-hypnosis.

This skill is actually rather useless in combat. It is difficult to be effective against strong individuals with strong willpower, and there is no need to use it against weak individuals with insufficient strength.

However, when used on oneself, especially to aid in cultivation, it can occasionally produce remarkable effects.

Now, he's going to use this trick to clear his name.

Fortunately, Su Cheng knew Bo Saixi fairly well.

In the Simulation, whether before or after she descended the mountain, her temperament remained relatively peaceful, without strong desires or deep scheming.

He is principled and has a bottom line in his actions, and never uses his status or power to intimidate others.

Aside from the advantages that come with her identity as "High Priest," she is actually a relatively pure Sea Spirit Master, quite different from mainlanders.

This knowledge should help him gain many opportunities.

In the brief moment it took him to turn around, he had already completed a series of psychological suggestions that would have a short-term effect.

"I don't know this person, but I have no hostility towards her, and I even have a certain fondness for her."

"I have never known about the existence of Sea God Island, nor have I ever heard of anything about the Godhood Inheritance."

"I am just an ordinary traditional Soul Master, and I have never heard of any cultivation techniques or anything like that."

"I have a very good relationship with Qian Renxue, the Young Master of the Spirit Hall. I obtained my Sixth Soul Ring by killing her with the help of Qian Daoliu, the High Priest of the Spirit Hall."

"Because of my remarkable talent and strength comparable to Titled Douluo, the Spirit Hall attaches great importance to me, and I have been exceptionally granted the status of Elder."

"I come from humble beginnings and have had a difficult life since childhood. I have come this far entirely through tenacious struggle and hard work. In my childhood, I struggled to make ends meet, and in my youth, I nearly lost my life many times while hunting Soul Beast..."

Even so, I still retain my youthful spirit. Kind, sincere, innocent, and simple...

"If a battle breaks out, you must not use your Innate Power unless absolutely necessary..."

Su Cheng turned around and looked at the woman who had just called out to him, his expression a mixture of confusion and amazement.

The woman was dressed in red and looked to be only in her early twenties.

Her exquisitely beautiful face, with its picturesque features, was like a sculpture. Her unique blue eyes were as deep as the sea and as clear as the sky.

What's most surprising is that the beautiful woman in front of you has a mysterious air about her that makes it hard to guess her real age.

Her demeanor exudes both the composure and intellect of a mature woman and the clarity and liveliness of a young girl.

Su Cheng had only ever seen a similar complex temperament in Qian Renxue, who was a twin soul.

Even the dignified and noble Bibi Dong lacked her ethereal and otherworldly aura compared to her.

On the other side, Bo Saixi raised an eyebrow upon hearing the question and retorted, "You don't recognize me?"

"I don't know him." Su Cheng shook his head, his expression of doubt deepening.

The person in front of him clearly didn't look very old, but the feeling he got from him was ridiculously strong and strangely odd.

When did a young Soul Master of this caliber appear on the mainland?

He wasn't unaware that powerful individuals at the Titled Douluo level could maintain their youth.

But eyes are hard to lie about.

Which of those Titled Douluo on the mainland hasn't undergone all sorts of trials and tribulations? They not only have to fight each other to acquire resources and snatch Soul Beast Soul Ring, but also have to scheme against each other for the power behind them. How could they possibly be so pure?

Moreover, top experts are almost all well-established, and the Spirit Hall has records of them.

Before this, Su Cheng had never heard of such a person in the world.

"..."

Upon hearing his answer, Bo Saixi narrowed his eyes slightly, scrutinizing the bewildered boy before him.

She was indeed waiting for Su Cheng outside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Since arriving on the mainland, she had heard about Su Cheng's various deeds almost without much effort.

This person can be considered a role model for the younger generation of Soul Master on the mainland.

He entered the Heaven Dou Royal Academy as a commoner and joined the academy's team at a very young age thanks to his strong abilities.

Later, in the All-Continent Spirit Master Competition hosted by the Spirit Hall, he led the Imperial Fighting Team to the finals with overwhelming force.

In the final match, he even suppressed the legendary figure of the Spirit Hall Academy Team, the Soul Saint Qian Renxue, who possessed 100,000 Year Spirit Ring.

If it weren't for the fact that the Spirit Hall Academy Team had so many Soul Kings, he might have had a chance to win the final championship.

In addition, Bo Saixi also knew that Su Cheng had joined the Spirit Hall after the Spirit Master Competition.

That's why she chose to come to the vicinity of Heaven Dou City to wait for an opportunity.

The Spirit Hall is under the jurisdiction of Qian Daoliu and is also the place where the Angel God inherits his legacy, so it's inconvenient for her to go there. However, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is not a problem.

As far as she knew, there was no conflict between the Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Even if Su Cheng joined the Spirit Hall, it did not mean that he had fallen out with the sect.

When it comes to patience, she has no shortage of it.

But after examining it for a long time, Bo Saixi, who couldn't find any flaws, also started to have some doubts.

The boy in front of me had eyes as clear as water, and also a deep-seated, unyielding strength. It was clear at a glance that he had experienced many hardships in the past, and was not the same as the boy in my memory.

They are clearly the same person.

They share similarities in appearance, name, and even Martial Soul.

The two Self-Created Soul Skills, "Empty Mountain" and "Bright Moon," which were widely circulated on the mainland, were also very similar to the impressions he had in his memory.

She couldn't believe such a coincidence could happen.

After a moment of silence, Bo Saixi slowly said, "You don't know me, but I know you."

Upon hearing this, Su Cheng's expression shifted slightly, and he tentatively asked, "Are you a member of the Star Luo Imperial Family? Or are you from the Clear Sky Sect or the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?"

It's not surprising that they would recognize him.

Although he keeps a low profile and doesn't go out much, the process and results of the Spirit Master Competition are no secret in the Soul Master World.

Even the final competition, although nominally kept secret, Su Cheng's team included many players from other colleges, so it was inevitable that the secret would leak out.

Not to mention that this year's Spirit Master Competition has produced many strong contenders and has a tremendous impact.

Among them are a large number of young Soul King, successors of the Clear Sky Sect, owners of Twin Martial Souls, owners of the Netherworld White Tiger Martial Soul, and even young Soul Saint in their twenties who possess 100,000 Year Spirit Ring...

It can be said that among all the previous Spirit Master Competition, this year's young Soul Master are the most outstanding.

Even Ning Rongrong, who possesses the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, is not considered particularly special among these people.

As he was secretly pondering the other party's identity.

The older sister in front of him, whom he liked very much, suddenly released an extremely terrifying aura.

Before even releasing his Martial Soul, a powerful pressure like a hurricane and tsunami arrived in an instant.

With the release and withdrawal of Soul Power, a terrifying attack came in the blink of an eye.

Su Cheng's expression changed drastically. Before he could think any further, the Longevity Sword appeared in his hand.

The next moment, a terrifying Soul Ring Configuration— five black and one red—appeared around him, and his domain expanded accordingly.

The Five Elements Domain enveloped both of them simultaneously, empowering themselves while also suppressing and weakening the terrifying opponent before them.

The First Soul Ring of the ten-thousand-year limit and the Sixth Soul Ring the one-hundred-thousand-year limit lit up at the same time.

First Soul Skill: Bearing Great Virtue.

Sixth Soul Skill: Bright Moon.

Sixth Soul Skill: Embers Rekindle.

With the enhancement of his Soul Skill, the Longevity Sword in his hand immediately became exceptionally heavy, covered with dark red, lava-like patterns.

A powerful, heart-stopping sense of strength emanated from the longsword.

At the same time, a Bright Moon appeared in mid-air, silently gathering its strength.

But compared to the opponent's attack, it is still far inferior.

A dark red trident brand flashed briefly on Bo Saixi's forehead.

Then the right palm, which looked supple and fair but lacked any sense of strength, slashed forward.

A crescent-shaped blade of light instantly materialized and shot straight toward Su Cheng's face.

Su Cheng had no time to retaliate, nor did he dare to.

With a solemn expression, he raised his longsword and used his most proficient defensive sword technique, the Sword Stance.

"Clang—"

It was clearly an energy attack, but when it clashed with his longsword, it emitted a long, sharp, and piercing metallic clang.

One strike was blocked, but the next blade of light immediately followed.

Su Cheng quickly turned slightly and tilted his sword to deflect the attack.

But what made him even more uneasy than the opponent's powerful casual attack was the faint Killing Intent emanating from the beauty before him.

She wanted to kill herself!

Although this Killing Intent appeared and disappeared intermittently, it was real and undeniable.

Su Cheng admitted that although his cultivation level was currently limited, he had only just broken through to the Soul Emperor realm.

But with his Soul Ring Configuration and various Self-Created Soul Skill, he could even hold his own against Titled Douluo for a few moves.

However, he was completely powerless against the young woman in front of him who had not even revealed her Martial Soul.

Although he didn't know why, he instinctively didn't want to use the trump card he had once comprehended— his Innate Power.

He had no intention of fighting against this instinct within himself.

Moreover, Su Cheng was also aware that even if he used his Innate Sword Qi, it would be difficult to achieve anything, since his opponent had not yet used his Martial Soul and Soul Skill.

Even if you really have to use it, you must combine it with the almost suicidal secret technique "Ring Shattering".

However, using "Ring Shattering" was clearly something he was unwilling to accept.

Reaching this level of cultivation was no easy feat, and his future prospects were bright. He didn't want to squander even the slightest chance of success.

"Who exactly are you? Is there some misunderstanding between us? Do you know who I am?"

As he spoke, Su Cheng tossed a token into the air, sending it flying towards the woman in red.

Upon seeing this, Bo Saixi raised an eyebrow and reached out his left hand to catch it.

The token features six neatly arranged patterns, exuding an intangible sense of nobility.

"Pope Token?"

Looking at the token in her hand, Bo Saixi's delicate brows furrowed slightly, and her offensive slowed down a little.

She looked at Su Cheng with a complicated expression, "Which elder of the Spirit Hall is your teacher?"

"Qian Daoliu!"

Su Cheng couldn't care less about showing off his elder status at this moment; he was only thinking about bringing out the most prestigious person in the Spirit Hall first.

"You know who Qian Daoliu is, right? He's the High Priest the Spirit Hall, a level 99 Peerless Douluo. I'm his disciple!"

The next chapter will be released shortly. Typos will be corrected later.
