Ye Ye followed the route provided by the navigation. Because he was playful, he spent over a month wandering and playing along the way before finally arriving at Tiantou City.

Ye Ye entered the city. It was even livelier than Nuoding City; after all, it was the capital of an empire. The streets were filled with various vendors and many pedestrians.

Ye Ye was quite curious, so he wandered around, buying things here and there.

"Hurry up and check in. Don't forget you're here to check in."

Ye Ye: Almost forgot that Unscrupulous Navigation was still here. Then, the abusive voice of "Unscrupulous Navigation" came through again.

Ye Ye: "Xiao Ai, mute 'Unscrupulous Navigation' for me."

Then, the voice of "Unscrupulous Navigation" disappeared.

Ye Ye: "Finally, some peace and quiet." Then he happily went back to shopping. (Why do I feel like I'm writing him more like a girl? I need to make Ye Ye more manly later and find him something to do.)

Ye Ye spent the day playing and fooling around just like that.

Ye Ye: "Oops! Almost forgot to check in! Unmute."

"I ******* f*** your ****** mother."

As soon as Ye Ye unmuted, he heard the abusive voice of "Unscrupulous Navigation."

Ye Ye: "Stop! Quit cursing, I was wrong, okay? Just navigate already."

"No, I won't. Go yourself. Check in at the Tiantou Palace. This navigation session has ended. Goodbye."

Ye Ye: "What the f***, how am I supposed to get there? Xiao Ai, look, her service attitude is terrible."

[You caused this trouble yourself, solve it yourself.]

Ye Ye: "..."

Since she won't navigate, I'll just go myself. At least I know I need to check in at the Tiantou Palace, Ye Ye thought.

However, Ye Ye overestimated his sense of direction. Facts proved that Ye Ye was a complete idiot when it came to directions; without navigation, he couldn't even tell north from south.

Ye Ye walked until it was dark, but he still hadn't found the Tiantou Palace. Even if he found it now, was he supposed to spend the night in the palace?

Ye Ye had no choice but to look for a hotel. He found one called "The Most Serious Hotel." The name looked very serious at first glance, so Ye Ye walked inside.

The clerk saw someone coming and hurried forward to greet him. The attendant was a very beautiful young lady. She stepped forward and asked, "Sir, are you looking to rent a room?"

Ye Ye looked at the young lady and said, "What else would I do at a hotel if not sleep?"

Attendant: "Oh, ten Gold Soul Coin per night."

Ye Ye paid the money and was just about to leave. The young lady saw that he had come to their hotel alone and without a female companion. Since their hotel was obviously a "serious hotel," she assumed he would definitely be looking for someone, so she stopped him.

Then she whispered in his ear, "How lonely it is to sleep alone at night! Do you want me to help you find someone to keep you company? Ten Gold Soul Coin a night, anything goes~~~~"

Ye Ye got up from the bed with a sore back (Ye Ye: "Don't get the wrong idea"). Ye Ye was just sore because the bed was too soft; he preferred sleeping on hard beds out of habit, and the softness of this bed had caused his back pain.

Last night, the room next to his had been filled with a woman's screams. Ye Ye thought it must be some man committing domestic violence. He even wanted to intervene, but after thinking about it, he realized he had no reason to interfere in other people's family affairs, so the sound continued until dawn.

As Ye Ye walked out of his room, he happened to see a woman coming out of the room next door. He saw her covering her body with torn clothes, and he could see whip marks on her. From her unsteady gait, it was clear that this woman must have suffered greatly last night.

The woman hadn't expected a man in their hotel to be up so early, and in such good shape? But then she remembered that the room hadn't made a single sound last night. Could it be that he had some sort of problem in that department?

The look in her eyes as she looked at Ye Ye was full of pity. After all, what a great pain and shame it must be for a man to be incapable in that regard. Then, remembering the prowess of the man from last night, she left immediately.

Ye Ye was a bit confused by the pity in her eyes. He felt she was acting inexplicably, but he didn't ask, as she was still disheveled.

Ye Ye went to the lobby again and saw the attendant's resentful gaze. The attendant hadn't expected him to refuse so flatly last night. She had assumed someone would come to find Ye Ye during the night, but no one else had come at all.

The attendant also felt that Ye Ye had a problem in that department; he might even be a eunuch. After all, he was dressed all in black and looked so gloomy. Thinking of this, her eyes also filled with pity.

Ye Ye: "?" He felt that everyone in this hotel was inexplicable. Why was everyone looking at him with that kind of gaze?

Ye Ye left the hotel and continued his search for the palace.

Ye Ye still couldn't find it. He found a tea shop, ordered a pot of tea, and started drinking.

Suddenly, Ye Ye heard the guests at the next table chatting.

One person said, "Sigh, have you heard? The Tiantou Palace is looking to select three new guards, two captains, and one middle captain."

Another person: "Yes, I heard too. And look, those two are the most likely candidates to become middle captains."

Ye Ye looked in the direction they were pointing and saw two people. They were twins. Ye Ye also learned that they were going to the palace to sign up as guards, so following them would surely lead him to the Tiantou Palace.

After they left, Ye Ye followed them. After walking for a while, he found that he had arrived at the palace gate. Now, Ye Ye didn't know how to get in. Although the Tiantou Palace, which didn't even have a Titled Douluo, certainly couldn't stop him if he were discovered, he wouldn't be able to survive on the Douluo Continent if he exposed himself like that. So, Ye Ye had to stay hidden.

Ye Ye thought of a good idea: he could sign up to be a guard, and that way he could enter to check in openly and honestly.

Just then, the Captain in charge of the guard selection shouted from a makeshift ring in front of the palace: "There are only three guard spots. The minimum requirement is a Spirit King. The rule is a spirit duel; the top three will pass."

Ye Ye: So that's how it is. I'm definitely getting this middle captain spot.

Captain: "Alright, which two will go first?" The Spirit King requirement immediately scared off those who were just watching and wanted to try their luck.

Benboba: "I'll go first." Ye Ye looked at him; it was one of the two brothers from the tea shop.

Then, another person emerged from the crowd and said, "Let me come and test you." Then he also jumped onto the ring.

Captain: "Both sides, release your spirits."

Benboba: "Benboba, level 58 Battle Soul King, martial soul Shrimp Soldier, please advise." His martial soul was a large shrimp, but he held a long spear in his hand.

Da Congming: "Da Congming, level 52 Battle Soul King, martial soul Turtle, please advise." His martial soul was simply a large turtle.

Captain: "Ready, begin."

Benboba launched an attack on Da Congming first. Da Congming was indeed clever; because his martial soul was a turtle, he possessed powerful defensive capabilities. He blocked the strike, but the impact force pushed him back several steps before he could steady himself.

Benboba continued his pursuit, forcing Da Congming to the edge of the arena before kicking him off.

Da Congming: "Ouch!"

Captain: "Good, Benboba wins this round. Is there anyone else who wishes to challenge?"

Because of Benboba's strength, no one stepped forward to challenge him.

Captain: "Very well, then I announce that Benboba enters the finals."

Is there anyone else signing up?

Babengbo: "Me." Ye Ye looked over and saw it was Benboba's younger brother.

He also finished his battle very quickly.

Captain: "Is there anyone to challenge?"

Ye Ye said: "I will challenge."

Captain: "Good! Both sides, release your martial souls."

Babengbo: "Babengbo, level 57 Battle Soul King, martial soul Crab General." Then, a large crab manifested behind him.

Ye Ye: "Isn't this just Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals?"

Ye Ye: "Ye Ye, level 59 Battle Soul King, martial soul Godzilla." Godzilla manifested behind Ye Ye.

Babengbo's martial soul was suppressed: "What kind of martial soul is this? It can actually suppress me."

Captain: "Ready, begin."

Ye Ye charged forward directly, then used his first soul skill: Tail Whip, sending Babengbo flying.

After being sent flying, Babengbo steadied his body and spat out a mouthful of blood, then charged toward Godzilla with his large pincers raised.

Babengbo: First soul skill: Crab Pincer.

Ye Ye released his fourth soul skill: King's Aura.

Before Babengbo could even get close, he was pinned to the ground, and then Ye Ye rushed over, preparing to land a punch on him.

Babengbo hurriedly released his fifth soul skill: Absolute Defense, and a protective shield appeared on his body, blocking Godzilla's punch.

Ye Ye: "Not bad, but what about a few more punches!"

Ye Ye struck at Babengbo frantically. Before long, cracks appeared on the protective shield, and then Ye Ye shattered it with his final punch. Ye Ye followed up with a roundhouse kick that sent Babengbo flying out of the arena, where he landed and spat out blood.

Benboba rushed forward to help him up, then said: "Brother, I will definitely avenge you."

Captain: "Alright, congratulations to Ye Ye for advancing. Next is the duel between Benboba and Ye Ye. Both sides, prepare."

Benboba: "I will definitely make you lose to me." Then he released his martial soul.

Ye Ye: "I'll be waiting to see it." Then he also released his martial soul.

Benboba charged over first, then thrust the spear in his hand toward Ye Ye. Ye Ye dodged to the side, grabbed the opponent's spear, and threw a punch directly at Benboba.

Benboba: Third soul skill: Super Defense.

After blocking Ye Ye's punch, he didn't continue to defend like Babengbo had; instead, he took the initiative to attack.

Benboba: Fourth soul skill: Unstoppable.

His spear became even sharper, but Ye Ye blocked it with his bare body. One must know that Ye Ye's current body possessed the physical strength of Godzilla; this level of attack couldn't pierce him at all.

Benboba's eyes were filled with shock: "How is this possible? Even if he is one level higher than me, it's impossible to block my full-force strike so easily."

Ye Ye took the opportunity to charge up an Electromagnetic Pulse: second soul skill: Electromagnetic Pulse.

The powerful energy sent Benboba flying, and he fell to the ground, twitching.

Captain: "Good, congratulations to Ye Ye for taking first place and becoming a Captain of the Guard Team. Benboba and Babengbo are appointed as Squad Leaders."

Ye Ye: "Now I can sign in with peace of mind."

Then, the Captain took Ye Ye, Babengbo, and Benboba into the imperial palace to report to Emperor Xue Ye.

[Ding! Arrived at the sign-in location. Do you wish to sign in?]

Ye Ye: "Yes."

[Ding! Sign-in successful. Congratulations on obtaining...]
