Douluo: I've Already Cultivated Immortality, and You Still Call Me a Title Douluo? Chapter 15

"Who is stronger or weaker, better or worse—cultivators or soul masters? I don't think words alone can settle that. So, why not resolve this with a battle and find the answer?"

As he thought to himself,

Chen Xin, who was highly confident in defeating Lu Yunzhu, also made up his mind.

He decided

that after Lu Yunzhu finished his explanation,

he would challenge him to a one-on-one duel and determine the victor.

Seeing the crowd gradually quiet down, while powerful and influential figures like Bibi Dong and Ning Fengzhi waited for him to continue,

Lu Yunzhu spoke again,

resuming his task.

"Formation Masters can form arrays with a single thought. There are many kinds of arrays: defensive arrays, offensive arrays, sealing arrays—basically, there is everything one could need."

After saying that,

he produced a small flag formed from Spiritual Power,

and used every spell he currently possessed

to demonstrate the effects of several arrays for everyone.

He displayed them one by one, including the Invert Five Elements Array, Wind Flame Dragon Fierce Array, Bind Lightning Scorching Light Array, Four Symbols Black Tortoise Array, and more.

As time slowly passed,

and the once azure sky gradually turned dusky yellow,

Lu Yunzhu finished explaining Formation Masters among cultivators.

"In a battle involving tens of thousands, the value of one Formation Master is enough to rival ten Martial Soul Fusion Skills!"

After seeing all the arrays,

Bibi Dong's breathing involuntarily quickened. She swore that no matter what, she had to obtain Lu Yunzhu.

After all, his methods could no longer be described as human!

The Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Two Poles Stillness Domain, that Old Ghost and I possess probably doesn't even have one-tenth the effect of his Dragon Locking Array.

Unconsciously swallowing,

Chrysanthemum Douluo thought to herself

as her desire to become a cultivator grew ever more urgent.

As for soul masters? Whoever wanted that dead-end profession with its singular future path could have it.

She, Yuanguan, wanted to cultivate immortality! No matter what, she had to cultivate immortality!

Next,

Lu Yunzhu successively demonstrated other "paths" of cultivators, or perhaps they could also be called "branches" or "professions."

Among them

were Artifact Refiners, similar to the blacksmiths of Douluo Continent but far above them; Talisman Masters, who made talismans capable of destroying heaven and earth with a single sheet of paper; as well as Beast Tamers, Body Cultivators, Sword Cultivators, and more.

Invitations from Bibi Dong and Ning Fengzhi

"So this is how formidable cultivators are? It truly is... terrifying!"

"We soul masters truly are inferior to cultivators!"

"Alchemists, Formation Masters, Talisman Masters, Artifact Refiners—any one of these four could stand above us soul masters. Yet... they are all merely branches of cultivators. Therefore, we soul masters... aren't even one-tenth as capable as cultivators."

"Body Cultivators, who break all techniques with sheer strength, are countless times stronger than our assault-type and Power System soul masters! Shattering stars with one punch, wiping out all living beings with one palm—just thinking about it is thrilling!"

After listening to Lu Yunzhu's account of cultivators,

the vast majority of people gradually came to recognize reality.

As everyone discussed it among themselves,

a cold, indifferent mechanical voice from the Cultivation System rang out in Lu Yunzhu's mind.

Congratulations, Host. You have completed the task: Sitting and Discussing the Dao, explaining cultivation.

Congratulations, Host. You have obtained the array: Golden Light Array.

Mortal World Heart Training progress: 2/10

With eight tasks left,

Lu Yunzhu would be able to obtain the Great Grade Celestial Immortal Art.

By then,

Level 1, 2, and 3 Gods

would be nothing more than insignificant ants to him.

As for God Kings? They would merely be slightly larger ants.

Seeing that it was getting late,

Lu Yunzhu knew

that it was time to find somewhere to stay for the night, then go find Dugu Yan tomorrow.

In one day,

he had completed two tasks.

That was very good progress!

And if he continued at this pace, the so-called Great Grade Celestial Immortal Art would fall into his hands within five days.

At that thought,

a smile could not help appearing

on Lu Yunzhu's face.

"It is already late. Today's discussion ends here. If fate allows, we shall meet again someday."

After saying this,

just as Lu Yunzhu was about to leave,

he seemed to remember something and hurriedly stopped.

"Thank you for today."

As he stared directly at Liu Erlong's curvaceous figure,

Lu Yunzhu suddenly thanked her.

After saying that,

he sent a spell named Burn Heaven Boil Sea

into Liu Erlong's sea of consciousness.

Then,

Lu Yunzhu introduced it, saying, "This is equivalent to a soul skill that you can learn. Take it and study it. It will be of immense benefit to you."

Hearing Lu Yunzhu's words,

recalling his astonishing methods

and combining them with his unfathomably powerful strength,

Liu Erlong understood that the Burn Heaven Boil Sea in her mind could not be anything ordinary.

Therefore, she very much wanted to accept it.

For that reason,

she did not refuse Lu Yunzhu's goodwill. "Thank you, Senior. Then I'll accept it. Senior is welcome to visit my Blue Tyrant Academy at any time."

Liu Erlong was already in her thirties,

so

being coy was neither her style nor her habit.

If she wanted something, she wanted it; if she did not, she did not. Liu Erlong disliked dawdling and beating around the bush.

Seeing this,

Lu Yunzhu responded, "All right."

After Lu Yunzhu finished speaking,

Bibi Dong's voice rose at once.

"I've listened to Your Excellency speak for so long, yet I still do not know your name. Would Your Excellency be willing... to tell us? We could perhaps... become friends?"

Hearing Bibi Dong's words,

Lu Yunzhu thought for a moment

before giving his answer. "Lu Yunzhu."

Upon hearing that name,

and receiving that answer,

Bibi Dong nodded thoughtfully. "Parting comes on rainy nights, while the road leads toward Yunzhu. Lu... Yunzhu? There is quite a profound mood to that name."

Bibi Dong was no ordinary woman.

Her asking Lu Yunzhu for his name

had merely been a way to open a topic of conversation.

Thus, she next revealed her true purpose, or rather, her true intention.

"Mr. Lu, this should be your first time coming to the continent, correct? Otherwise, your name would surely have long since shaken the world."

"Since it is your first time on the continent, Mr. Lu must currently have no fixed residence. Today, Bibi Dong is willing to play host and properly entertain Mr. Lu. I wonder... what does Mr. Lu think?"

Bibi Dong was no fool.

She understood

that with someone like Lu Yunzhu,

she had to establish some form of connection no matter what. Even if she could not bring him under her command, she had to become his friend—or even a close friend.

Otherwise,

there would be a hundred harms and not a single benefit.

The instant Bibi Dong finished speaking,

Ning Fengzhi, that sly old fox, also spoke.

"Her Majesty the Pope comes from Spirit City. In Heaven Dou City, I imagine she cannot be as familiar with the place as I, Ning Fengzhi. Moreover, Heaven Dou City belongs to the Heaven Dou Empire, and His Highness the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire is my disciple."

"So if someone is to entertain Mr. Lu, shouldn't it... be Ning who does so?"

After saying this,

Ning Fengzhi respectfully approached Lu Yunzhu and said,

"Ning is willing to host Mr. Lu. Would Mr. Lu honor me with the opportunity? If Mr. Lu has any needs, please feel free to name them. My Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has nothing else, but we do have plenty of money. On Douluo Continent, ninety-nine percent of matters and items can be resolved with money."

"Mr. Lu should understand that."

As he said this,

Ning Fengzhi wore a warm and amiable smile.

The meaning behind Ning Fengzhi's words was simple.

Whatever Lu Yunzhu wanted, he could simply ask.

If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could not accomplish it, there was still the Heaven Dou Empire behind them.
