Transmigrator Chu Feng, Martial Spirit Overlord Spear

Douluo Continent, Martial Soul City.

A hundred meters east of the Pope Palace stood a traditional courtyard house. In the center of the courtyard grew a massive peach tree with a trunk as thick as a water barrel; it was lush and verdant, its branches heavy with vibrant, pink peach blossoms.

If a peach tree this large were to bear fruit without a single worm, then July in this courtyard would truly be a season of happiness.

As the blossoms bloomed, a faint, sweet floral scent drifted through the air, permeating the courtyard.

Beneath the tree, a man sat cross-legged with his eyes closed. He was dressed in a shimmering, iridescent black, his features handsome and sharp. Wisps of pitch-black spirit power swirled around him like celestial mist, making him appear like a demon god.

Behind him hovered a long, black spear. It did not stand upright in the conventional way, but rather hung inverted, its tip pointing toward the ground.

The shaft of this black spear was etched with intricate patterns of white jade.

The design formed by these patterns was not a traditional dragon, but rather a demon god with bared fangs.

Suddenly, the surrounding air began to churn, whipping up a black tornado.

The rising gale blew the blossoms from the peach tree, and petal after petal fell from the sky, spinning at high speed within the vortex of the tornado.

At the center of the tornado, caught in the force of the wind, Chu Feng's clothes fluttered, and the black spear behind him radiated a piercing, dark light.

The sensation this light gave off was not one of sharpness, but of supreme Haki—a sense of power capable of crushing everything in its path.

The young man's aura continued to surge until, at a certain moment, his tightly closed eyes snapped open.

"Hoo~!"

"Heaven rewards the diligent; I have finally succeeded in breaking through to become a Quasi-Title Douluo!"

"There is only a Ninth Spirit Ring between a Quasi-Title Douluo and a true Title Douluo. Once I install the ninth ring onto my Martial Soul, I will be a true Title Douluo!"

"Once I become a Title Douluo, I can fulfill my long-held dream: to become the Eighth Elder of Martial Soul Hall and enter the inner circle of the organization's power!"

"Next, it is time to head to the Star Dou Forest to obtain a hundred-thousand-year Ninth Spirit Ring!"

Chu Feng put away his Martial Soul and stood up, walking toward the exit of the courtyard.

Before setting off for the Star Dou Forest, he needed to return to the Pope Palace.

He had to ask Bibi Dong for two Title Douluo.

Although Chu Feng possessed overwhelming combat strength, both the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape were no ordinary hundred-thousand-year soul beasts.

The Sky Azure Bull Python possessed the Azure Dragon Bloodline, while the Titan Giant Ape carried the Titan Bloodline. These two ferocious beasts were inseparable, and if they joined forces, Chu Feng was not truly confident he could take them both on alone.

However, if he added the Polar Static Domain of Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo—eight seconds of absolute control—Chu Feng would have a hundred percent certainty of taking them down without sustaining an injury.

"Deacon Chu, you've finished your seclusion!"

On the way to the Pope Palace, Chu Feng ran into an acquaintance.

This acquaintance had come from the same village as him, and because they were friends from home, they shared a particularly close relationship.

They often gathered together to drink.

"Mm~!" Chu Feng nodded and said, "I'm out. This seclusion was very fruitful; I successfully broke through to become a Quasi-Title Douluo!"

Having said that, Chu Feng focused his mind, displaying his Quasi-Title Douluo aura to his friend.

"Holy crap, you actually really succeeded in breaking through!"

Feeling the aura radiating from Chu Feng, his friend exclaimed in shock.

Immediately after, he let out a soft sigh.

He spoke from the bottom of his heart, "It's truly enviable. To be a Quasi-Title Douluo at only twenty years old!"

"We are the exact same age, yet you are a Quasi-Title Douluo while I am only a Soul King~!"

"Sigh~!"

He sighed again, for he knew his own limits.

Chu Feng was able to become a Quasi-Title Douluo at twenty because he was a peerless genius.

Chu Feng and he were simply not from the same world.

Chu Feng not only possessed the top-tier Western Chu Overlord Spear Martial Soul, but he was also born with Innate Level 20 Full Spirit Power.

Every one of his spirit rings had been absorbed at the absolute limit.

On top of that, he had unrestricted access to the resources of Martial Soul Hall.

"You've already done quite well!"

"With Innate Level 3 spirit power, you reached Soul King at twenty."

"So many people would be crying with envy at such a cultivation speed!"

The man was his drinking buddy, after all, and Chu Feng didn't want to discourage him too much.

He placed a hand on his friend's shoulder, patting it lightly as he offered words of comfort.

His friend was indeed comforted.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"That's true. With my Level 3 spirit power and a scythe Martial Soul, I reached Soul King at twenty. That's already much better than that Grandmaster who couldn't even break through Level 30!"

As they talked, they arrived at the Pope Palace before they even realized it.

Looking at the Pope Palace in front of him, his friend cast a puzzled look at him.

He asked doubtfully, "You're already a Quasi-Title Douluo now, so why go to the Pope Palace instead of heading to the Star Dou Forest to hunt a soul beast for your Ninth Spirit Ring?"

Hearing this, Chu Feng looked up at the Pope Palace before him and replied, "I'm here to request my Title Douluo conferment from His Holiness the Pope, of course!"

His friend was confused.

"Why go through the trouble of requesting a Title Douluo conferment?"

"Naturally, it's so I can go to the Star Dou Forest to hunt the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python."

After a brief pause, Chu Feng continued, "The Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape are no ordinary Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts; they are Ferocious Beasts with powerful bloodlines and extraordinary combat strength."

"Since the Star Dou Forest is their home turf, if the two of them team up, I won't be able to handle them alone!"

"If I have the Martial Soul Fusion Skill Polar Static Domain from Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo, then I'll have a hundred percent certainty of taking them down without a scratch."

"Hunt the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape?" His friend's heart skipped a beat, and he asked in shock, "You plan to absorb a Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring for your Ninth Spirit Ring?"

Chu Feng nodded.

"Mm! I actually intended for my Eighth Spirit Ring to be a Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring, but at the time, I lacked the ability to kill a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. Furthermore, the soul power and energy contained within such a ring are terrifying, and I wasn't entirely confident I could absorb it, so I had to settle for a ninety-thousand-year soul beast's ring."

"Because my Eighth Spirit Ring wasn't a Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring, I've felt regret about it to this day!"

"Now that I can finally absorb a Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring for my Ninth, shouldn't I equip it with one?"

In truth, if it were possible, Chu Feng would even want his Ninth Spirit Ring to be the Million-Year Spirit Ring of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King!

However, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King lived in the deep ocean and its whereabouts were unpredictable, so he could not confirm its location.

Moreover, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King was immensely powerful and not easy to hunt; there was a risk of failure.

Therefore, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King was not the first choice for the cautious Chu Feng.

How did Chu Feng know so much about the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King? That was because he was a Transmigrator.

Twenty years ago on a rainy night, just after winning the lottery, Chu Feng had been sent to the Douluo Continent by a Dayun truck.
