Douluo: Martial Soul Emperor Jun, I Am the Sun

[Soul Land: Subverting the Tropes] [Spirit Hall Faction] [Shrek as the Villains] [Resource-Driven Protagonist] [The Demon Emperor Reigns Over All Beasts]

Transmigrated into Soul Land, Di Yao awakens a divine beast martial soul-Demon Emperor Di Jun!

On the day his martial soul awakens, a blazing sun eclipses the sky, and all beasts kneel in worship.

Su Yuntao is stunned. The branch hall master is consumed by greed. Spirit Hall wants to bring him under its control before even discussing his training.

But Di Yao speaks coldly:

"You want to take me with you? Fine."

"First, tell me-what qualifications do I need to receive Spirit Hall's highest level of training?"

He never pretends to be kind, nor does he preach pointless justice.

He joins Spirit Hall for one reason alone: it has resources, soul bones, soul rings, Titled Douluo to protect him on his path, and clues to attaining godhood!

When Bibi Dong takes him as her disciple, he uses the might of the Supreme Pontiff Hall to fuel his rise.

When the Consecration Hall tries to force him to submit, he manifests the Demon Emperor's avatar and withstands their pressure for three breaths without kneeling.

When Tang San launches a sneak attack, he burns the hidden weapons to ashes with a flick of his hand.

When Yu Xiaogang postures as the Grandmaster, Di Yao audits his accounts in public, exposing the truth behind his misappropriation of Spirit Hall's resources.

When Xiao Wu's identity as a hundred-thousand-year soul beast is exposed, she trembles in fear-only to discover that Di Yao considers capturing her beneath him.

"As you are now, you aren't even worthy of becoming my soul ring."
