The Rules of Holy Soul Village!
The evidence is conclusive!
When the images before everyone's eyes faded, both the villagers of Holy Soul Village and the Soul Master were amazed by the uniqueness of Romantina's Soul Skill.
The latter, in particular, was absolutely certain that Romantina's assistance was necessary to complete the Secondary Soul Ring Refinement; otherwise, the theory would remain just that—the theory.
"Lu Yixin, we had already collected the evidence before the trial began. The purpose of the trial is simply to seek justice for the victims, help them calculate the extent of the losses in this fire, and hope that the perpetrators will plead guilty."
Zhou Qing handed the trial documents to Tang San for his stamp and final judgment, then gave them to Old Jack for safekeeping, saying, "Now, please reveal the hiding places of the other six accomplices, or your punishment may be reduced. Otherwise, after paying compensation but before being imprisoned, you will be tied up in Prison Cart and paraded through the streets."
"I will hire Soul Master to escort you along the road from Holy Soul Village to the western Vast Sea City, so that everyone in this area will know about your deeds."
Lu Yixin's Divine Ability.
Although he could only stay in this time and space for a maximum of three months and didn't need to worry about life imprisonment, he was still a teenager. How could he bear being paraded through the streets?
"Think about it carefully."
After Zhou Qing finished speaking, Tang San and Xiao Wu went down to personally escort him away, confiscate anything of value from him, and convert it into Gold Soul Coin to compensate the villagers of Holy Soul Village for their losses.
Then, Zhou Qing took out several Wooden Slip, each about five centimeters long, four centimeters wide, and two millimeters thick, from the Gray Pouch and said to the Soul Master, "This incident has made us realize the safety risks of some outsiders. Therefore, we have discussed it internally and decided that in the future, anyone entering the Holy Soul Village area must have the corresponding Identity Card issued by us."
"Please have the Soul Master present in Holy Soul Village come and collect your items in turn. We will record your name, Martial Soul, Soul Master level, date of birth, and other basic information on the Wooden Slip, and make a written backup in case of any issues."
"If you don't even dare to reveal this basic information, then there's something wrong with you. Our Holy Soul Village and the surrounding area do not welcome people with ulterior motives."
Old Jack, along with the villagers of Holy Soul Village and other villages, all thought this method was good.
In the past, every household was poor and didn't care about outsiders having designs on them.
Now that the villages are gradually becoming wealthier, they can no longer be so carefree. If they continue to let outsiders in, there's always the chance that a rice paddy will be burned!
One Soul Master frowned and said, "Isn't a certificate issued by the Spirit Hall acceptable?"
"If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten," Zhou Qing added. "From now on, Soul Master will also need to present Martial Soul Certificate issued by the Spirit Hall."
"Isn't this going a bit too far?" the Soul Master questioned.
"You can leave."
Zhou Qing said Youyou, "If you can't even handle this small request, then we can't accommodate a big shot like you here. Go back to where you came from."
Knowing he was in the wrong, the Soul Master couldn't say anything more and could only slink away and hide in the crowd.
The other Soul Master, including the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall, all stepped forward, vying to receive the Identity Card issued by Zhou Qing.
"Come one by one, line up."
Zhou Qing's voice was as loud as Great Bell, resounding in the ears of these Soul Masters, making them realize the extraordinary strength of Zhou Qing.
Looking at the surrounding villagers, however, they showed no reaction, as if they were unaffected.
Either these villagers are also experts, able to ignore Zhou Qing's voice waves mixed with Soul Power.
Or—
Zhou Qing's skill in manipulating Soul Power had reached an extremely refined level, to the point that it only exploded in the ears of these Soul Masters, yet did not harm ordinary people in the slightest.
Are all the villagers experts?
Unlikely...
Regardless of the possibility, it proves one thing: within Holy Soul Village, you have to follow Zhou Qing's rules, otherwise these guys might not just talk the talk, but actually take action!
"Little Monster, you're quite the show-offs!"
After the villagers dispersed and the Soul Master received their Identity Card, a young man with blue hair walked towards them. Before he even reached them, his voice rang in their ears.
Those Soul Master who had not yet gone far Bowing Body respectfully upon seeing this young man.
During the past two weeks, Dugu Bo had been invited by Romantina multiple times to Nuoding City to "back up" Romanyac and deter troublemakers. Therefore, most Soul Master recognized him and knew he was the Poison Douluo, but they didn't know how he had become so young...
However, they speculated that this might be related to Zhou Qing and his group...
Therefore, figuring out the secret of Dugu Bo's "rejuvenation" became one of the goals of the undercover agents from various factions.
"Old Monster, in terms of prestige, we can't compare to Titled Douluo." Zhou Qing stepped forward with Wooden Slip, engraved Dugu Bo's name, Martial Soul, and other relevant information on it, and asked, "When were you born?"
"No way? You want me too?" Dugu Bo pointed to his chin, looking surprised and uncertain.
"Certainly!"
Zhou Qing argued vehemently, "You don't own any property here, you're not from Holy Soul Village, nor are you from any other village."
"Those words hurt me so much!" Dugu Bo said with a long face, wiping away non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes, pretending to be pitiful, just like a mischievous old man.
But in the end, you still have to give your birth date.
"I've noticed that since you've become younger, even your thinking has become more unconventional." Zhou Qing handed over the carved Wooden Slip and circled around him twice, marveling at it.
"Cough."
Dugu Bo's expression turned serious. He examined the back of his hand, which was without a single wrinkle, and said, "Regarding this, I have actually realized it as well. My body has regained its youth, and my spirit seems to have returned to its youthful state as well. The influence between the body and the soul is mutual... This also proves the heaven-defying nature of your cultivation method, which truly makes me young again."
If it were merely his physical body regaining its youth, then Dugu Bo would have no doubt that his soul had suddenly dissipated one day, while his body remained active, making him a living dead.
"Let's not talk about that—"
Dugu Bo brought up another matter, "You guys performed brilliantly in the Continental Elite Tournament and won the championship, but you didn't go to meet Xue Ye afterwards, so you probably offended him."
"So what? We don't need him to bestow noble titles upon us. Whether we meet or not, it's all the same," Xiao Wu said nonchalantly.
"Too."
Dugu Bo gave Xiao Wu a deep look, and then saw Zhou Qing wink at him. He realized that many people in this team probably knew Xiao Wu's true identity, so he didn't say anything more. Instead, he laughed and said, "I believe that with your abilities, you can overcome any difficulty! If you have any trouble, just call me. Now, I dare to challenge even Peerless Douluo!"
This is no exaggeration.
Since Dugu Bo, with the assistance of Zhou Qing, Tang San, and Romantina, perfected his cultivation technique based on his own Martial Soul, opened up his Inner Scenery World, and greatly increased his strength.
Its Martial Soul is also undergoing a rapid transformation. In just a few years, it will truly transform from a snake into a dragon and achieve Martial Soul at the Dragon King level.
With confidence comes fearlessness.
