Fortune

A month passed.

At the border between the Star Luo Empire and the Sun Moon Empire stood a vast, bustling city.

Not only was this city strategically located, it was also a hub for trade between the two nations.

Especially for items such as Soul Tools.

At this moment, in a single room of an antique inn within the city, Jin Tianming sat leisurely by the window.

His deep, bright eyes quietly gazed at the bustling streets outside and the rolling mountains in the distance, as though he wished to take in everything in the world at a single glance.

He gently lifted the teacup from the table, first inhaling the rising fragrance of the tea before taking a small sip. A fresh, elegant flavor immediately spread through his mouth, leaving him immersed in it.

However, Moxie, who had come here with Jin Tianming, was nowhere to be seen.

Moxie had gone alone to gather information. The legion stationed in this city was the White Tiger Legion led by the White Tiger Duke, so getting through the city would indeed be a minor hassle.

Yet these so-called minor hassles were nothing worth mentioning to Jin Tianming.

After all, if he truly wanted to leave in a hurry, he merely needed Moxie to take him away. But at this moment, Jin Tianming showed not the slightest sign of impatience.

That was because he had other plans—he wanted to find out whether the legendary Ten Thousand Year Strongest Soul King was here during this period.

If that legendary figure truly was here, Jin Tianming planned to have his true body use the Dragon Soul to firmly control him.

That way, the Ten Thousand Year Strongest Soul King could become part of his own and his true body's strength. He might even become a mysterious trump card that could determine victory or defeat at a crucial moment!

It would be especially fun to disgust Xuan Zi.

At that thought, Jin Tianming's lips curled upward slightly, and an imperceptible glint of cunning flashed through his eyes.

That was the strongest Soul King who had escaped from the hands of a Super Douluo!

Back then, when he—his true body—had watched that plot and comic, he had really wanted to say, Xuan Zi, you're truly useless! If Huo Yuhao hadn't had Electrolux, then relying on that bug, he could at most have stunned that Soul King for a moment.

There was absolutely no way he could have killed the strongest Soul King. By then, unless the Douluo Plane personally intervened, Huo Yuhao would truly have died and gone to see his mother.

Oh, no, wait! It seemed his mother had been taken away by that guy with the fish fork.

Still, there was one thing worth praising—the strongest Soul King's Corpse Explosion was far more powerful than his true body's Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!

Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion needed clones as a medium to accumulate explosive energy, but Corpse Explosion was different. It could only be described as simple and brutal. As long as someone was contaminated with even half the corpse poison, bang, they exploded!

Who the hell wouldn't be tempted by that?

It was practically a humanoid Soul Tool parasite-explosion remote control!

"Lord Golden Dragon!"

"How did it go?"

Hearing Moxie's voice, Jin Tianming knew he had returned and asked with a hint of anticipation.

Moxie's voice rang out again. "My apologies, Lord Golden Dragon. This subordinate did not find that strongest Soul King!" His tone was full of dejection. As Lord Immortal's and Lord Golden Dragon's most trusted subordinate, he had failed at even such a minor task.

He had truly disgraced both lords.

Hearing that answer, obvious disappointment appeared in Jin Tianming's eyes, though he was not too disappointed. It was an answer he had expected.

As the saying went, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

"Lord Golden Dragon, this subordinate has let you down!" Seeing that Lord Golden Dragon said nothing, Moxie in the shadows mistakenly believed he had disappointed Jin Tianming. He hurriedly added, "Lord Golden Dragon, give me some more time, and I will definitely find him!"

Hearing this, Jin Tianming looked toward the shadows in confusion. But he quickly understood and waved his hand. "It's fine. Not finding that guy was within my expectations. You've already done very well."

"Not finding him wasn't your fault. You don't need to blame yourself so much." Jin Tianming truly had not expected Moxie to start overthinking just because he had not spoken. His true body's Dragon Soul transformation of people was seriously absurd.

"Yes, my lord!" After hearing Lord Golden Dragon's words, the self-blame that had filled Moxie's heart instantly vanished without a trace.

Without hesitation, he immediately replied, "My lord, please rest assured. I will spare no effort to find him!" As soon as he finished speaking, fiery, reverent light flickered in Moxie's eyes, as though it could pierce through every obstacle and reach its target.

At this moment, Moxie's heart was consumed by a firm conviction—no matter the cost, he would search that city from top to bottom. Even if he had to dig three feet into the ground, he would drag out that man known as the strongest Soul King!

Because to him, Lord Golden Dragon's orders were supreme decrees, leaving no room for the slightest negligence or defiance.

There were now only two people in this world whom he respected beyond measure. Oh, no, there was now one more—Princess Mo Yan!

Jin Tianming looked at Moxie with slight bewilderment upon hearing that. This Dragon Soul transformation of humans was seriously impressive.

He took in the fanaticism and reverence in Moxie's eyes, then waved his hand and said, "There's no need for that. We are preparing to head to the Sun Moon Empire. There are more Evil Spirit Masters there to send back to my true body."

"Yes!"

Although disappointment flashed through Moxie's eyes upon receiving Jin Tianming's new order, he immediately accepted it and rose to make preparations.

In the Douluo Continent, a world filled with fantasy and fierce conflict, the distribution of fortune in this era was extremely uneven.

If fortune were compared to a star-filled night sky, then Huo Yuhao alone was like the dazzling Big Dipper, occupying a full five measures of it!

On the other side, the powerful and ambitious Sun Moon Empire had claimed one measure of fortune. Like a bright moon hanging high in the sky, they were not as radiant as Huo Yuhao, but their influence could not be overlooked, especially in the field of Soul Tools.

Soul Beasts occupied three measures. The reason was that the Soul Beast Emperor Auspicious Beast still existed in this era.

As for the remaining one measure of fortune, it was divided among the three great nations of Star Luo, Heaven Soul, and Dou Ling, as well as the ancient Shrek Academy.

If Shrek had not had Huo Yuhao, the Child of Fortune, and Tang San's Divine Descent, it would have long since been swallowed by the Sun Moon Empire and turned into Sun Moon Shrek Academy.

"Let Mo Yan and the other future clone companions scheme for Shrek's fortune. As for that one measure of fortune belonging to the Sun Moon Empire, I, Jin Tianming, alone am enough!" Jin Tianming took another sip of tea. His gaze toward the window was filled with confidence and arrogance. From this day onward, he would make his name and martial soul resound throughout the entire continent!

After finishing the last sip of tea, Jin Tianming rose, set down his cup, left behind three Gold Soul Coins, and departed the private room.

He was determined to claim the Sun Moon Empire's fortune as well!
