The Blind Douluo

As for why I chose the Fifth Worship, Qianjun Douluo, first of all, he is at level ninety-six, so his strength speaks for itself. Secondly, Tang Hao's current level should be ninety-five, and considering his old internal injuries have yet to heal, he shouldn't be able to exert his full level ninety-five strength. However, you can't ignore the fact that he can detonate his spirit rings. As for how much that boosts his power, it remains an unknown variable, so having Qianjun Douluo deal with Tang Hao shouldn't be a major issue. Finally, although Qianjun Douluo and Xiangmo Douluo are twins and usually handle errands for the Worship Hall together, Xiangmo Douluo is unrestrained and somewhat impulsive, whereas Qianjun Douluo is more steady and seasoned, making him the more reliable choice.

As for the first stop on Qian Renyu's journey, it was naturally the Nuoding City Martial Soul Branch Hall, as both Tang Hao and Tang San—those world-renowned "Late-Wife Douluos"—resided in the nearby Holy Soul Village.

Tang San's hundred-thousand-year spirit ring came from the sacrifice of his wife, the hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin, and Tang San's hundred-thousand-year spirit ring came from the sacrifice of his lover, the hundred-thousand-year rogue rabbit Xiao Wu. The title "Late-Wife Douluo" is truly well-deserved. For two generations of father and son to have such strange fates, one has to admit that the Tang family father and son have quite the means.

Furthermore, the legendary "Blind Douluo" Su Yuntao also works here.

No sooner said than done; in the blink of an eye, Qian Renyu, along with Qianjun Douluo, Demon Bear Douluo, and Ghost Leopard Douluo, arrived in Nuoding City.

The hierarchy of Martial Soul Hall branches, from lowest to highest, is: Martial Soul Branch Hall, Martial Soul Sub-Hall, Martial Soul Main Hall, and Martial Soul Sacred Hall.

Nuoding City is merely a small city, so the Martial Soul Hall here is just a branch hall.

Yet today, this tiny branch hall was bustling with activity because several extraordinary figures had arrived.

What kind of extraordinary figures?

Naturally, it was Qian Renyu and his party of four.

As soon as they arrived at the Nuoding City Martial Soul Branch Hall, Demon Bear Douluo produced an Elder Token.

In the Martial Soul Hall, only a Title Douluo can possess an Elder Token, which meant that the group standing before them included a Title Douluo.

Bishop Ma Xiunuo of the Nuoding City Martial Soul Branch Hall stood inside the hall, looking respectful, nervous, and excited all at once.

As for why he was excited—it was a Title Douluo, after all; who wouldn't be excited to see one?

As for why he was nervous—it was a Title Douluo, after all; who wouldn't be nervous to see one?

As for why he was excited—it was a Title Douluo, after all; who wouldn't be excited to see one?

Behind Bishop Ma Xiunuo stood the other staff members of the Nuoding City Martial Soul Branch Hall.

"Who is Su Yuntao?" Qian Renyu asked from his seat of honor.

"My lord, I am Su Yuntao." Su Yuntao, feeling uneasy, stepped out from the crowd.

The others were quite surprised to hear Qian Renyu ask for Su Yuntao; when had Su Yuntao ever known such big shots?

In particular, a beautiful woman in the crowd looked at Su Yuntao with a new, distinct light in her eyes.

This woman was none other than Si Si, the woman Master Su Yuntao had loved but could never win.

Looking at Su Yuntao, Qian Renyu felt quite excited; after all, this was the legendary "Blind Douluo."

Didn't people always joke:

[A word from Brother Tao, and a God King is born]

[Transmigrators come and go, but Su Yuntao remains]

[The Douluo world cannot lose Brother Tao, just as the West cannot lose Jerusalem]

"Master Su Yuntao, there is no need to panic. I have long heard of your great reputation, so I asked on a whim. I hope you don't mind," Qian Renyu said slowly, looking at the somewhat terrified Su Yuntao.

"N-no... it's fine." Su Yuntao scratched his head, looking embarrassed. At the same time, he thought to himself, Am I really that famous? How come I didn't know?

Qianjun Douluo, who had been sitting to the side with his eyes closed, opened them slowly upon hearing Qian Renyu's words. He thought, Master Su Yuntao, a "great reputation"? How come I've never heard of him? Could it be that I've stayed in the Worship Hall for too long and my information is outdated?

That was possible, as only the Fifth Worship, Guangling Douluo, went out often; perhaps he, Qianjun, was just ill-informed.

Thinking this, Qianjun Douluo solemnly straightened his collar and posture, then released his perception toward Su Yuntao.

A level twenty-six Spirit Grand Master?

Could it be that I'm getting old and my perception is failing? That shouldn't be.

So, Qianjun Douluo rubbed his eyes and released his perception toward Su Yuntao once more.

It was indeed a level twenty-six Spirit Grand Master, no mistake.

His spirit power wasn't even as high as that waste, Yu Xiaogang.

Has the threshold for being a "Master" become this low these days?

Qianjun Douluo could not understand.

Then, Qianjun Douluo looked at Demon Bear Douluo and Ghost Leopard Douluo, secretly asking them about Su Yuntao, only to find them looking just as bewildered.

On the tree of confusion, the fruits of confusion grow, Under the tree of confusion, you and I stand.

It wasn't just the three of them who were confused; even Bishop Ma Xiunuo of the Nuoding City Martial Soul Branch Hall was baffled. Is Su Yuntao really that famous? When did this happen?

And my position as Bishop...

Hiss... this is terrifying.

Good for you, Su Yuntao. I treated you well, yet I never expected you to harbor such hidden agendas. You truly are a scoundrel.

Si Si, who was pursued by Su Yuntao, was also stunned. Is this simp really that famous? I, Si Si, have never cared for wealth or status, so why am I suddenly moved by Su Yuntao's pursuit at this very moment?

The crowd at the Nuoding City Martial Soul Branch Hall:

[Deep mountains hide tigers and leopards, fields bury unicorns; this kid Su Yuntao is truly hiding his true colors.]

[Those who are skilled in battle have no glorious achievements; this kid Su Yuntao is truly not simple.]

[The peach and plum trees do not speak, yet a path forms beneath them; this is exactly what is meant by Su Yuntao.]

[I feel the same.]

Qian Renyu saw the confused expressions on everyone in the hall, and he was equally bewildered.

What is going on with everyone?

Could it be that Su Yuntao is unpopular, and everyone is surprised that I praised him a few times?

That shouldn't be the case.

If that were true, it would make sense for the people from the Nuoding City Martial Soul Sub-Hall to act this way, but why are Qianjun Douluo, Demon Bear Douluo, and Ghost Leopard Douluo acting like this too?

Especially Qianjun Douluo.

You are already at such an advanced age, usually cultivating your character in the Worship Hall; how can you be unable to control your emotions at all?

Just as everyone was looking blank, Ma Xiunuo, the bishop of the Nuoding City Martial Soul Sub-Hall, stepped forward in time.

"My lord, it is almost time for a meal; why don't we eat first?"

"Fine, let's eat then."

At the dining table, Qianjun Douluo sat right next to Qian Renyu, and more than once, he wanted to ask Qian Renyu about that Su Yuntao.

But every time this thought crossed his mind, Qianjun Douluo suppressed it firmly.

Because he, Qianjun Douluo, was a dignified level 96 Title Douluo; to have him ask about a level 26 Soul Grand Master?

Qianjun Douluo simply could not bring himself to lose face like that.
