Di Tian: So I Should Call You My Lord, Then?

In the Dragon Valley Plane, a desolate aura still flows through the cracks in the earth.

Lin Sheng slowly withdrew the terrifying five red and two gold Soul Ring around his body, feeling the level 70 Soul Power surging like a great river within his body.

The overwhelming feeling that he could seemingly draw upon the power of mountains with every gesture made him let out a long sigh of relief.

"As expected, this is the Soul Saint level."

"As expected of a watershed moment in the path of Soul Master cultivation, the terrifying boost brought by the Martial Soul Avatar is unimaginable."

Lin Sheng muttered to himself.

He has now become Soul Saint!

Furthermore, it will be able to unleash its true Martial Soul Avatar, and that will be the moment when the Zhuxian Sword reveals its true brilliance.

"Time, how quickly it has passed..."

Lin Sheng's eyes flashed with surprise after hearing Gu Yuena's reminder.

If we calculate based on the time flow of the Douluo Continent...

At this moment, the continent-wide elite tournament in Spirit City is probably nearing its final stage.

"They shouldn't be eliminated, right?"

Lin Sheng muttered a few words.

"Let's go. If we delay any longer, the Dragon Valley plane will become unstable, and that will be even more troublesome."

Gu Yuena gave a reminder, her jade-like hand gently waving, and silver ripples spread through the void once more.

"..."

Qiu'er nestled beside the two of them, her body shimmering with a faint starlight.

"Sigh, I have to go back again..."

That was a sign that the cooldown period for time travel was about to end.

She tugged at Lin Sheng's sleeve reluctantly, her golden eyes filled with grievance. "Lin Sheng, I don't want to go back..."

"That timeline was so boring."

Lin Sheng smiled and gently patted her head, saying softly, "Don't worry, once your cooldown period is over and you're stable, you can come over anytime."

"How about I take you to see the Holy Court then?"

"It's definitely more impressive than any Mingdetang from your era."

Qiu'er then stopped crying and smiled, nodded heavily, and her figure transformed into starlight and disappeared from the spot.

"..."

Meanwhile, in Spirit City, on the competition field in the Pope Hall.

The atmosphere was so oppressive it was almost suffocating.

The finals format is brutal and direct. After several rounds of competition, only the three strongest teams remain on the field.

The Spirit Hall Team, the Imperial Fighting Team, and the Star Luo Royal Academy Team.

Because Lin Sheng, the Sea God, mysteriously disappeared...

After careful consideration, Dugu Bo suggested that Dugu Yan and the others give up the extremely physically demanding individual competition.

They chose the safest path.

First, completely crush the Star Luo Team in the loser's bracket final, then face the Spirit Hall in full force.

"Laugh--!"

On the field, Zhu Zhuqing was as aloof as the moon, her Hell Stab leaving a trail of afterimages.

Even when facing Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun's incredibly powerful Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Hell White Tiger.

With Zhu Zhuqing also benefiting from Ning Rongrong's current maximum boost, and with everyone's cooperation, they successfully dealt a severe blow to the Hell White Tiger.

The outcome is already decided!

"Sister, I've waited too long for this battle."

Zhu Zhuqing moved with the grace of a phantom, and with her final Netherworld Shadow Clone, she broke through Zhu Zhuyun's defenses, killing her older sister who had been hunting her down for so long.

It blasted out of bounds with a powerful thud!

Having avenged her great grudge, Zhu Zhuqing stood in the arena for Jiujiu without saying a word.

She knew that her fate had been completely reversed the moment that diary appeared and the moment she met Lin Sheng.

But now, the real final is just around the corner...

Where on earth did that man go?

Bibi Dong sat on the high platform, seemingly as steady as Mount Tai, but in reality, her gaze was constantly scanning the crowd.

Even Qian Renxue sent people to inquire about Dugu Bo several times.

The responses I received were all "I don't know," "I'm not sure," and "I've never seen it before."

Qian Renxue was furious.

My grandpa is arranging a marriage for me!

You've disappeared?

Can I take this to mean that you look down on me, Qian Renxue, and are hiding away?!

Clearly, all the women were harboring a Evil Fire.

Lin Sheng, you're really something, disappearing at such a crucial moment!

Early the next morning.

Star Dou Great Forest, Lake of Life.

The void cracked open, and Lin Sheng and Gu Yuena slowly stepped out.

"Gu Yue, thank you for the opportunity in Dragon Valley, and thank you to the entire Dragon Clan."

Lin Sheng cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Gu Yuena.

This time, he not only obtained the power of the Mountain Dragon King's dragon soul.

This further purified the Golden Dragon King Bloodline, even allowing him to reach the Soul Saint realm, more than doubling his strength.

Gu Yuena chuckled and shook her head; that fleeting moment of brilliance made the entire Lake of Life pale in comparison.

She glanced at Di Tian, whose face was dark with anger, and instructed, "Di Tian, use your spatial power to send Lin Sheng on his way. Make sure he arrives directly at the Spirit City arena."

Di Tian's majestic dragon face was now twitching violently.

How could he, the mighty Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King and ruler of the Star Dou Great Forest, now be a chauffeur for a human?

Is that right?!

But under Gu Yuena's unwavering gaze, Di Tian had no choice but to bite the bullet and tear open the void, glaring at Lin Sheng with annoyance. "Kid, come in!"

"What do you intend for me to address you from now on? Mo Fei really want me to call you 'Lord'?"

Lin Sheng stepped into the spatial passage and couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing this.

"The title 'Lord' is quite fitting. Di Tian, from now on, I will protect the Soul Beast Clan!"

"Roll!"

Di Tian's face darkened, and he took a step out of the void, sending Lin Sheng directly to the sky above Spirit City.

The preparation room at the Spirit City arena.

"That bastard Lin Sheng! Not only did he skip the match, but he also stood me up! When he comes back, I'm going to make Grandpa Sword stab him to death! Waaaaah, I'm so angry..."

"Lin Sheng is a real beast when it comes to disappearing."

Ning Rongrong stood with her hands on her hips, furiously unleashing her fury at the door of the lounge.

"Squeak--!"

The door was pushed open without warning.

"Who's going to stab me to death? Rongrong, it's not good for you to talk behind people's backs."

"Watch out, or I'll make you lose your cool."

A familiar voice echoed throughout the arena, and the preparation room instantly fell into dead silence.

Dugu Yan, Zhu Zhuqing, Yu Tianheng and the others suddenly looked up.

Lin Sheng, dressed in pristine white robes, walked in with his signature faint smile.

Ning Rongrong was so startled that she let out a loud hiccup. It took her a while to react, and she awkwardly hid behind Zhu Zhuqing.

"Um... I didn't say anything."

Lin Sheng looked at the girl with a wry smile, then greeted Dugu Bo.

He sidestepped, dusted himself off, and looked through the window at the Spirit Hall Golden Generation, who were already lined up to enter. A playful smile flashed in his eyes.

"It seems I've returned just in time. Sorry to keep you waiting, everyone."

He turned around and waved to his stunned comrades. "Let's go. Now that I'm back, it's about time to start the finals, isn't it?"

"Let's teach the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation a lesson today."
