Night, Fasnuo City

Fasnuo City was especially beautiful at night. Across the entire Douluo Continent, it ranked among the top five cities for its night scenery.

Besides its beautiful night views, Fasnuo City also offered certain special services, such as Yiyue Tower, which Chen Chen frequented.

Chen Chen entered Yiyue Tower with a relaxed expression.

The madam spotted Chen Chen and immediately hurried over to him.

"Master Chen, you're here again? How many would you like this time?"

The madam said with a smile.

It couldn't be helped. Though Chen Chen was old and not much to look at, he was a genuine Soul Elder. Spirit Masters held a higher status than commoners.

Especially since Chen Chen had once served as a steward of Spirit Hall, he had seen far too much.

"The usual today. Just have Miss Liu accompany this old man." Chen Chen stood with his hands behind his back and spoke arrogantly.

The madam's smiling face immediately fell. She looked around, then leaned close to Chen Chen's ear and said:

"Old Master Chen, anyone else would be fine, but little Liu is entertaining a guest today. That guest's identity is extremely prestigious. I'm afraid you can't afford to provoke him."

Chen Chen frowned upon hearing this. "There isn't anyone in Fasnuo City this old man can't afford to provoke. If this old man has set his eyes on a woman, can I let someone else touch her?"

Chen Chen shoved the madam aside and headed straight for the room of the famed Liu Hua Kui. He wanted to see exactly who it was that he supposedly could not afford to provoke!

Liu Hua Kui's Room

"Erlong, from now on, I am yours. I have no chance of becoming your concubine, but as long as I hold even the tiniest place in your heart, I will be content."

Liu Hua Kui spoke pitifully. She was breathtakingly beautiful, with exquisite and captivating features, brows and eyes like a painting, and large black eyes that were particularly enchanting. She possessed a fiery, perfect figure beyond the reach of ordinary girls.

The man named Erlong stroked Liu Hua Kui's head and said with a smile, "Liu'er, don't worry. Today, I'll redeem you. Although I can't take you home, I can still keep you in a house outside."

"Hehe, you're the best." Liu Hua Kui hugged Erlong tightly and said with a smile.

This man named Erlong was quite handsome, with jet-black hair and a full beard that made him appear exceptionally mature. He was tall and powerfully built, and more importantly, he was an extremely strong Spirit Master. That was why Liu Hua Kui adored him so deeply.

Bang—

Liu Hua Kui's door was violently kicked open, and an old man swaggered inside.

"Miss Liu, this old man is here. I heard you're entertaining a guest today? Let this old man see what kind of fellow he is?"

Chen Chen said brazenly. Three spirit rings had appeared around him: white, yellow, yellow. A three-ring Soul Elder was quite an "extraordinary" existence.

The man named Erlong was none other than Dragon Second of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Yu Luomian. He frowned as he looked at the old man before him, anger rising in his heart. He had originally planned to go another round before leaving.

Yet this old man had actually interrupted his enjoyment.

"Pretty boy, did I scare you stupid? If you're scared stupid, then crawl for this old man..."

A blue-purple hand sent Chen Chen flying with a single slap.

Yu Luomian's right arm had transformed into a dragon arm! The entire limb had become enormously thick and grown by more than half a foot, covered in blue-purple scales. His right hand had become a Dragon Claw, covered in the same scales, and every joint on it had grown exceptionally large.

Liu Hua Kui, beside him, was so frightened that she collapsed onto the bed. At that moment, she saw seven spirit rings around the handsome man.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black

A seven-ring Soul Saint! As Yiyue Tower's leading courtesan, she knew quite a lot. A seven-ring Soul Saint was someone who could make all of Fasnuo City tremble with a mere stomp of his foot.

She had heard that Fasnuo City's lord was also a Soul Saint. She had never expected the man she admired to be this powerful!

At that moment, Liu Hua Kui had only one thought: she had to cling to such a powerful existence. She herself had been sold here to become a courtesan.

Like a plaything, she had been left for others to pluck at will. What she hated most were old Spirit Masters. Every time, they would torment her in all sorts of ways, and she still had to force a smile.

Now, she had finally met the man destined for her. She could finally cast off this filthy identity.

Yu Luomian put on his clothes and walked out step by step. With one kick, he sent Chen Chen, who was sprawled on the ground coughing blood, flying out of Yiyue Tower.

Only then did the madam come forward, staring at the man with terror written all over her face.

"This bag of Gold Soul Coins is for you. From now on, Liu'er belongs to me. She is no longer one of your people."

Yu Luomian tossed a heavy bag of Gold Soul Coins to the madam, then walked out.

"Cough, cough... What terrifying strength." Only then did Chen Chen realize that he might have kicked an iron plate. But in Fasnuo City, he did not believe anyone would dare kill him in the street!

Yu Luomian slowly walked out, spirit rings floating around him: two yellow, two purple, and three black. A Soul Saint with the optimal Spirit Ring Configuration!

Only then was Chen Chen truly horrified. There were only two Soul Saints in all of Fasnuo City with the optimal Spirit Ring Configuration. One was the city lord, while the other was the head of the Storm Dragon Wolf Clan.

"Old man, you're pretty good at fighting, aren't you?" Yu Luomian mocked.

"Esteemed Soul Saint, I was reckless. Could you perhaps..." Chen Chen had grown shrewd with age and knew when to lower his head. He only needed to wait until the people from the Spirit Hall Main Hall arrived.

"You sure talk a lot of nonsense." Yu Luomian directly struck with a dragon palm, the blow carrying astonishing force.

Chen Chen summoned his martial soul, an iron shovel. He used it to block the attack, but the moment it came into contact with Yu Luomian's Dragon Claw, it shattered.

The shattering of his martial soul meant that Chen Chen's path as a Spirit Master had completely come to an end. At his age, he likely could not endure the consequences of a shattered martial soul.

A martial soul was originally part of a Spirit Master's body. Its destruction was equivalent to the body itself being destroyed. Chen Chen spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground, convulsing.

At that moment, the knights of the Spirit Hall Main Hall arrived and surrounded Yu Luomian together.

"Don't move!" The knights pointed their spears at Yu Luomian.

A Black Bishop then emerged from the Spirit Hall Main Hall. He appeared quite elderly.

"Who are you? How dare you injure someone in Fasnuo City? Don't think you can do whatever you please just because you're a Soul Saint!" the Old Man shouted sternly.

"Who am I? You, a mere Spirit Emperor, aren't qualified to know who I am. Goodbye!"

A pair of Wings suddenly grew from Yu Luomian's back, and he flew away, surrounded by powerful lightning.

"Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon! He's from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan! Damn it!" the Black Bishop roared in fury.

He then looked toward Chen Chen. He knew Chen Chen; they could be considered old acquaintances. Yet somehow, Chen Chen had provoked someone from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

This was infuriating. The Black Bishop felt a stifling rage build in his chest. A Soul Saint from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had caused trouble, and Bishop Yasqi and Bishop Hans just happened to be away.

Bishop Hans had broken through to Level 70 a few days ago, and Bishop Yasqi had accompanied him to obtain his Seventh Spirit Ring.

If they had both been here, how could they have allowed that villain to act so brazenly!

"Your Excellency Bishop, what should we do?" a knight captain said with a bow.

"Go ask what happened here." The Black Bishop waved his hand.

Several days later,

Chen Xilin returned to Fasnuo City once more. It felt so good to be back.

Chen Xilin returned to Chen Chen's residence and found that something seemed a little different here.
