"Dragon Lord, have you ever considered joining a certain power?"
Sun Sheng glanced at Meng Yiran's fiery figure, swallowed, and asked with cupped fists.
Join a certain power?
Dragon Lord was slightly stunned upon hearing Sun Sheng's words.
I was originally planning to recruit you.
Well, well, you're planning to recruit me.
"Join a certain power? Kid, are you mistaken? Do you think we, Dragon Duke and Snake Granny, aren't a major power already?" Dragon Lord said proudly.
"Of course, this junior is aware of that, and also knows that Dragon Lord has his own family power."
"But with the strength of the two of you, even if you're strong, it's difficult to be a match for the two great empires, the Upper Three Sects, and Spirit Hall, right?"
Sun Sheng cupped his fists again, smiled, and said, his expression carrying three parts calmness, five parts arrogance, and two parts sincerity.
As expected!
This kid's background isn't simple.
Dragon Lord was shocked upon hearing this.
He could roughly guess Sun Sheng's background.
No wonder!
A genius like Sun Sheng could only be nurtured by a major power.
His family power was strong, but it was far from comparable to the two great empires, the Upper Three Sects, and Spirit Hall.
But it wasn't to the point where they had to rely on them.
"Kid, what do you mean by this? Are you looking down on us, Dragon Duke and Snake Granny!" Dragon Lord said domineeringly.
"Senior misunderstood, this junior doesn't mean that," Sun Sheng replied calmly.
"Then what do you mean?" Dragon Lord asked.
"This junior has heard elders mention the prowess of Dragon Duke and Snake Granny, which is why I had the intention to recruit you."
"Of course, this junior also has a great affection for Miss Meng Yiran and wants to marry her."
Sun Sheng didn't beat around the bush and replied immediately.
He also glanced at Meng Yiran, who was still immersed in sadness.
Ding! Main quest issued: Seduce Meng Yiran! Ding! Side quest issued: Recruit Dragon Duke and Snake Granny.
As soon as Sun Sheng's words fell, the Douluo Leveling System issued the quests.
"Heh, recruit? Kid, which power do you represent that you dare to recruit us? You have quite the nerve."
Dragon Lord smiled coldly and asked.
"Spirit Hall!"
Sun Sheng cupped his hands, responded, and puffed out his chest, saying proudly.
Spirit Hall!
Whether it was Dragon Lord, Serpent Woman, or Meng Yiran, they were all shocked upon hearing "Spirit Hall."
In Douluo Continent, Spirit Hall was a powerful force.
No one knew how strong Spirit Hall really was.
And no power dared to offend it easily.
Not even the two great empires and the Upper Three Sects.
"I thought it was some major power, but it turns out to be Spirit Hall. No wonder you have a genius like you."
"Kid, although your Spirit Hall is strong, it's not so strong that it can make us, Dragon Duke and Snake Granny, submit."
"If you truly love Yiran, why not join my Meng family? What do you say?"
Although Dragon Lord was shocked by Sun Sheng's background, it wasn't enough to make them rely on him. Instead, he used Meng Yiran as a reason to extend an invitation.
"Grandpa..."
Meng Yiran was a little anxious when she heard this and was about to speak, but she was stopped by a look from Serpent Woman.
She had lived with Dragon Lord for decades and naturally knew his intentions.
If they could really recruit this kid, it would undoubtedly be a great boost to the current Meng family.
With his and Yiran's talent, they would be able to elevate the Meng family into a major power in the near future.
As for whether Meng Yiran liked this kid, that wasn't a problem.
After all, feelings could be cultivated.
Clearly, Dragon Lord and Serpent Woman had the same idea.
If they could recruit this kid, even sacrificing their granddaughter a little would be more than worth it.
"Thank you, Dragon Lord, for thinking highly of me, but unfortunately, I have already become a disciple of Pope Bibi Dong, so it's impossible for me to join your Meng family."
"You might as well consider joining Spirit Hall."
"If you agree, I can guarantee you a place in Spirit Hall and help Miss Yiran break through to Titled Douluo in the future, and even mutate her Martial Soul, evolving it into a more powerful one."
Sun Sheng glanced at the anxious Meng Yiran and smiled calmly.
His intention was simple: to lure them with benefits.
Offer generous conditions to attract Dragon Duke and Snake Granny to join Spirit Hall.
Even using Meng Yiran's future as the biggest condition.
After all, at their age, there aren't many things that can attract them.
Only higher power and status, and Meng Yiran's bright future, offer any hope.
This is the best he can offer at the moment.
The Pope's disciple?
Titled Douluo?
Martial Soul mutation?
This kid has some nerve.
Dragon Lord sneered inwardly after hearing his words.
This kid is really bragging.
A disciple of Bibi Dong?
How is that possible!
From what he knows, Bibi Dong hates men the most.
Especially handsome men.
How could she possibly accept this kid as a disciple?
Moreover, Martial Soul mutation is even more impossible.
As for helping Meng Yiran break through to Titled Douluo!
Does she even need you?
With Yiran's current talent, breaking through to Titled Douluo is only a matter of time.
Sun Sheng naturally saw that Dragon Duke and Snake Granny didn't believe him. He curled his lips into a wicked smile and said, "I know you two seniors don't believe me, but that's okay, you will believe it."
With that, he decisively summoned his first and second Martial Souls.
To make them believe, it's useless to say more without making a scene.
After all, Dragon Duke and Snake Granny are both old seniors who have lived for at least seventy or eighty years, and have seen everything.
When Dragon Duke and Snake Granny and Meng Yiran saw Sun Sheng's two major Martial Souls and that dazzling hundred thousand year Soul Ring.
They were completely stunned in place, their eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
Twin Martial Souls!
Hundred thousand year Soul Ring!
This, how is this possible!
Especially the hundred thousand year Soul Ring!
How could it appear on him.
"Two seniors, with my talent, can I be the Pope's student?"
"With my talent, can I become the next Pope of Spirit Hall?"
"This time, you should believe me, right?"
Sun Sheng retracted his Martial Soul's Soul Rings, looked at the three people's shocked expressions, and smiled calmly.
"H-Hundred thousand year Soul Ring! H-How did you do it?"
Meng Yiran covered her small mouth, took a few deep breaths, and asked in shock.
Sun Sheng looked at the undulating snowy white scene and swallowed.
So big!
If I could hold them!
How wonderful!
"Ahem, how did I get it? Naturally, I won't tell you."
"If you also want to have a hundred thousand year Soul Ring, then join Spirit Hall and support me."
"And the conditions I proposed before will also be met."
"Of course, I can't make any changes for you two seniors. At your age, it's difficult to make any significant breakthroughs."
"But for Miss Yiran, I can guarantee that I can help her break through to Titled Douluo before she turns thirty and obtain a 100,000-year Soul Ring."
Sun Sheng made a huge promise in order to recruit Dragon Duke and Snake Granny.
No, it should be for Meng Yiran.
"Break through to Titled Douluo before thirty?"
"Boy, do you know who the youngest Titled Douluo in the world is today, and at what age they broke through?"
Dragon Lord subconsciously sneered, his face full of disdain.
A Titled Douluo at thirty? That's impossible.
Even Tang Hao, who was once the youngest Titled Douluo on Douluo Continent, was forty-four years old.
And the current youngest Titled Douluo, the Pope of Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong, is only a few years earlier than Tang Hao.
"I naturally know that person is my teacher, Bibi Dong."
"I also know you don't believe it. But, I will make you believe it."
Sun Sheng smiled meaningfully and took out a Soul Orb from his bosom.
