Descendants of the Martial Soul Hall Remnants

The following afternoon, the weather was slightly stuffy. A familiar carriage rolled out of the imperial city. Besides Shu Yan and Xu Jiujiu, Snow Empress was also inside, having disguised herself with Spiritual Power. As for Nebula Douluo...

Her career as a bodyguard might have temporarily entered a vacation that was neither particularly short nor particularly long. Looking back over the past dozen years or so, this was something that had never happened before.

Shu Yan lifted the curtain and looked at Star Luo Plaza, the absurdly vast square before the imperial city, and could not help sighing. Then his gaze fell upon a seven-story hotel not far to the east of the plaza.

This luxurious hotel, named Star Emperor, belonged to the royal family. It normally received envoys from various nations and distinguished guests of high status, so it had naturally been built in extravagant splendor. It could even be called a true earthly paradise. Within this hotel, as long as one was willing, one could obtain almost anything available on the market.

For example, beauties and Beast Girls. At Star Emperor Grand Hotel, almost every preference could be satisfied. Several centuries ago, a Tianhun genius attending the soul master tournament had failed to resist temptation and been drained dry in a single night. Decades after that incident, several powerful figures with the same Martial Soul as that genius inexplicably appeared in the Star Luo Empire. All that could be said was that boys needed to protect themselves when they went out!

Setting that aside, the carriage made its way to the entrance of Star Emperor Grand Hotel. Upon seeing the totem engraved on the carriage, the attendants outside abruptly stiffened in shock. One of them hurriedly ran inside to report, while the others bowed in perfect unison, not daring to look at the carriage again.

Shu Yan helped Xu Jiujiu out of the carriage, while Snow Empress silently followed behind them. Her gaze swept lightly across the surroundings before settling on the grand hotel before her.

Her Spiritual Power swept across the entire hotel. The feedback made Snow Empress frown slightly, but she said nothing.

As a Super Fierce Beast comparable to the limits of humanity, Snow Empress naturally possessed immensely powerful Spiritual Power. Even if she did not deliberately conceal it, there were only a handful of people in all of Star Luo City who could sense those fluctuations. That was Snow Empress's confidence.

The three of them walked toward the hotel lobby. The Star Luo Empire's soul tool technology had developed rapidly in recent years. Although it could not compare to the Sun Moon Empire, it was still the most advanced among the former Douluo Three Kingdoms. Star Emperor Grand Hotel before them employed quite a few advanced soul tool technologies, and the enormous soul tool screen hanging high above was the best proof of that.

A series of crisp footsteps sounded in the distance. One man and two women hurried out from within the hotel. They stopped when they were about three meters from the trio, then bowed neatly. Only then did the middle-aged man in the lead speak.

"Greetings, Your Highness Princess. This subordinate is Chen Yin, the chief manager of Star Emperor Grand Hotel. The two behind me are my assistants. We did not know Your Highness Princess would be honoring us with your presence, so we failed to greet you from afar. I beg Your Highness to forgive us..."

Xu Jiujiu raised a hand in a casual gesture, examined the three of them, and then said evenly, "No matter. I have urgent business to handle this time, so I did not notify you beforehand. This is not your fault."

"I will not waste any more words. Take us to see those guests from the south. I presume they are still in the hotel?"

Chen Yin nodded repeatedly, then hurriedly stepped aside with his two assistants and said respectfully, "Your Highness has arrived at just the right time. Those guests have just returned from outside and are currently resting on the fourth floor. This subordinate will lead the way..."

"There is no need. We will go ourselves. Also, from this moment onward, no one is permitted above the third floor of Star Emperor Grand Hotel. If anyone causes trouble, have them come speak to this Princess personally afterward."

Xu Jiujiu directly cut Chen Yin off and issued her orders as she walked. Chen Yin trembled all over. Only after watching the three pass quickly by him did he hurriedly begin calling for the hotel staff. The entire lobby immediately descended into chaos.

The three paid no attention to the commotion behind them. After pressing the elevator button, a melodious tune began to play. The surroundings shook slightly, and then the elevator began rising directly upward.

Xu Jiujiu slowly released Shu Yan's arm and spoke softly. "A Yan, I still need to remind you once more. As far as I know, these Martial Soul Hall Remnants are extremely united, and the ideals they uphold are largely the same. You probably will not achieve your goal by talking alone. In other words, if you want to conquer them, you will have to rely on strength... Also, some of them have terrible tempers. If a conflict arises later, I hope you can stay calm..."

Shu Yan shrugged and chuckled before saying, word by word, "I'll try."

Snow Empress glanced at the two of them curiously, but in the end, she did not take the initiative to speak.

Xu Jiujiu was at a loss for words. Thinking of everything that might happen later, she helplessly rubbed her forehead and wondered whether she should find a healing-type soul master in advance. Of course, that would not be for Shu Yan, but for the descendants of the Martial Soul Hall Remnants on the fourth floor...

After all, the combat strength of a Five-Ring Battle Soul King with an Extreme Attribute Super Martial Soul was terrifying beyond measure. Anyone with a brain could figure that out. Not to mention that all five of Shu Yan's Soul Rings were Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings. The power of his soul skills far surpassed that of ordinary five-ring Soul Kings. They were simply not something soul masters of the same level could withstand.

As the elevator doors slowly opened, the three swept their gazes across the corridor outside, which was covered in luxurious carpeting. Then, with Shu Yan leading the way, they entered the corridor one after another.

As the elevator doors slowly closed behind them, Shu Yan seemed to catch a faint, peculiar fragrance in the air. Looking around the corridor, he discovered that the entire fourth floor had been divided into several rooms, with a hall in the middle. After walking only a few steps across the expensive carpet, the three arrived before a pair of golden double doors. Just as Shu Yan placed his hand upon them, a strange azure ripple suddenly spread out from the hall. A melodious cry faintly echoed in their ears as blue-green feathers slowly drifted down, bringing with them an atmosphere of cold desolation.

"A Spirit Soul Skill..."

Shu Yan murmured. His sharp senses caught a subtle spiritual fluctuation, and the interest in his eyes grew even stronger. A soul master capable of using such a Spirit Soul Skill must possess either a Martial Soul with a Spirit Attribute or a Spirit Attribute Soul Bone. The former was an exceedingly rare existence across the entire continent. If it turned out to be the former today, Shu Yan would truly be both surprised and delighted.

Behind him, Xu Jiujiu remained unaffected under Snow Empress's protection. As the doors were pushed open bit by bit, a beam of golden light shone out first through the gap. His vision was obstructed, but Shu Yan still immediately made out the general situation within the hall. Then, however, his pupils could not help narrowing slightly...
