To Work Effortlessly, Find the Right Method

God Realm, Asura God Temple.

The Asura God, seated high upon his throne, twitched the corner of his mouth. "What a workaholic."

In one week in the mortal realm, he had slaughtered nine hundred-thousand-year soul beasts. Did he really have to be this intense?

From the ocean to the Star Dou Forest and then to the Far North, he was either traveling or hunting soul beasts.

He hadn't even stopped to rest or catch a wink of sleep.

He ate on the fly, finishing his meals in a hurry.

The Asura God should have been gratified that his successor was so driven, completing the requirements of the God Trials at such a rapid pace.

However, Qian Xunji's combat style always involved a sneak attack to kill in one blow, followed by a swift retreat.

As the dignified Asura God and an enforcer of the God Realm, he did not want an assassin as his successor.

Even if this assassin also possessed long-range sword control and artillery-style attacks.

The Asura God still preferred his successor to be domineering, looking down upon the world, and crushing enemies through upright, head-on combat.

A God King should have the fighting style of a God King, not that of an assassin hiding in the shadows to launch sneak attacks.

"Forget it. Since you are so driven, this God King will find something for you to do."

The Asura God rested his chin on his left hand as he spoke, then raised his right hand to condense Asura divine power, arranging the content for Qian Xunji's third Asura God Trial.

The content of the third Asura God Trial: Judge ten thousand criminals.

The Asura God did not believe that no matter how driven Qian Xunji was, he could quickly judge ten thousand criminals.

He believed Qian Xunji had been able to slay nine hundred-thousand-year soul beasts within a week because Spirit Hall had stood on the continent for many years and collected vast amounts of intelligence on soul beasts.

Qian Xunji had relied on the knowledge left by his predecessors to quickly complete the second Asura Trial.

But now that Slaughter City had been destroyed, where would he find so many criminals for Qian Xunji to judge?

The Asura God deduced that Qian Xunji would not be able to complete the third Asura Trial anytime soon.

To reach the goal of judging ten thousand people, it was estimated to take at least a year.

One year in the mortal realm was one day in the God Realm.

One day was just enough time for him to handle some trivial matters in the God Realm.

Douluo Continent, Far North.

Qian Xunji flew at top speed, terrified that if he slowed down, the "ice queen" behind him would catch up.

He was not one of those transmigrators whose lower head controlled his upper head, wanting to be pursued by the Snow Empress, the Ice and Snow Empress, only to achieve a romance, tie the knot, and give birth to non-human offspring.

From the depths of the Far North to the Ice-Sealed Forest, and then to the Xueling Province of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Only after completely leaving the range of the Far North did Qian Xunji feel that the "ice queen" behind him had stopped her pursuit.

"Second Asura God Trial complete. Reward: 10% affinity with Asura divine power." The Asura God's voice rang in his ears.

Hearing this, Qian Xunji beamed.

Having completed the second Asura Trial, he was one step closer to inheriting the Asura God Position; naturally, it was worth being happy about.

As for the fact that completing the Asura God Trials did not increase his soul ring age, was that "important"?

Once one became a god, who still used soul skills?

Oh, you mean Oscar?

That was because his soul skills were special; even in the God Realm, they could still play a major role.

Look at Tang San again. After becoming a god, he either used the Sea God's Thirteen Halberds or Asura divine skills.

Using soul ring and soul bone skills would only lower the status of the God King Tang.

"Third Asura God Trial: Judge ten thousand criminals."

The Asura God's voice rang in his ears once more.

The content of the third God Trial was to judge ten thousand criminals.

As the enforcer of the God Realm and holder of the authority of judgment, it was very reasonable for the Asura God to grant such a trial.

In the original work, Qian Renxue's God Trials also included the judgment of evil.

She had judged the criminal soul master trio, the Bu Le brothers.

"God King-level trials are just different from first-class god trials; the difficulty coefficient rises exponentially," Qian Xunji whispered to himself.

Aside from Slaughter City, which had no living creatures left after he had killed them all, where were the most criminals on the Douluo Continent?

Prisoners in the jails of various nations?

Noble slave owners?

Grain merchants hoarding goods?

Local ruffians, hooligans, and bullies?

A slave-hunting party of nobles?

Qian Xunji pondered as he flew.

[Human, don't forget to check in, meow~]

The sweet voice of System Mother echoed in his mind, reminding Qian Xunji that today was the day he received his monthly allowance.

He opened the system panel and tapped the check-in button.

[Monthly check-in successful. Obtained: one set of lie detectors.]

A lie detector?

A red light indicated a lie, while a green light indicated an honest answer.

Qian Xunji held the lie detector and examined it. Unsure of what use this thing had for him at the moment, he tossed it into his system space to gather dust.

Heaven Dou Empire, Di'ao Province, Heaven Dou City.

Heaven Dou City was the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire and the most populous metropolis on the Douluo Continent.

Nobles and wealthy merchants gathered here, and the most prosperous commercial streets were controlled by the three great sects.

The Heaven Dou Imperial Palace featured endless halls, its gilded tile roofs shimmering brilliantly under the sunlight.

Long white jade stairs rose in layers, flanked by towering, majestic jade pillars carved with dragons.

Outside the halls, the corridors were lined with vermilion pillars hung with palace lanterns adorned with pearls. Exotic flowers and rare herbs bloomed in competition along the imperial path, while the blue stone ponds rippled with light and swans strolled leisurely, every detail exuding royal grace and luxury.

The current Emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire stared fixedly with turbid eyes at the Title Douluo who had suddenly descended from the sky, clad in armor that obscured his face.

The person before him had dropped from the heavens, and when faced with the imperial guards, he had subdued all the soldiers simply by releasing his soul power pressure.

Unlike the Dai Family of the Star Luo Imperial Family, the Xue Family of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family had no Title Douluo guarding them.

Faced with an uninvited Title Douluo powerhouse appearing before him, the Heaven Dou Emperor was sensible.

"Why have you come, Your Excellency?"

"If you wish to live, order all the nobles and wealthy merchants in the country to assemble in Heaven Dou City," Qian Xunji said coldly.

He was lazy and did not want to deal with the nobles and merchants city by city; that would be too troublesome.

To complete the work quickly, he had to use his brain and find a method.

Only then could he finish the job efficiently and slack off.

"As you wish, Your Excellency," the Heaven Dou Emperor replied.

Although he did not understand why Qian Xunji wanted all the nobles and wealthy merchants in the country to come to Heaven Dou City, as long as the man did not want his life or intend to replace the Xue Family as the new Heaven Dou Emperor, he would let it be.

Furthermore, the powerful aura emanating from the Title Douluo before him was extraordinary.

He had only ever felt soul power pressure of this level from those two individuals.

As the Emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire, although his combat strength was not high due to the issues with his Swan martial soul, he was still a Soul Saint, after all.

He could clearly distinguish the difference between the soul power pressure of a Limit Douluo and that of an ordinary Title Douluo.

"If Your Excellency requires a meal, I shall immediately arrange for my subordinates to prepare the finest cuisine."

After ordering his subordinates to get to work, the Heaven Dou Emperor spoke to Qian Xunji in a flattering tone.

If he could win over a Limit Douluo to serve as a patron of the Heaven Dou Empire, it would secure the empire's national fortune for a hundred years.

If he could have a royal woman marry him and bear his offspring, it would allow the Heaven Dou Xue Family to flourish for eternity.

The Heaven Dou Emperor's thoughts were pleasant, but Qian Xunji had no interest in chatting with the natives of Douluo.

He threatened the commander of the imperial guards, ordering him to lead men to sweep away the criminal underworld and arrest all the thugs, hooligans, and bullies within Heaven Dou City.
