You Don't Know a Damn Thing About Douluo!

Hearing Huo Si describe in detail everything that was about to happen next in the Douluo World,

and even mention the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast's transformation and the affairs of her two younger brothers, if Huo Si continued,

he was about to reveal the names of the Soul Rings and Soul Skills belonging to those two transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts and their younger brothers.

Elder Ke immediately lost his composure. He seemed to see through Huo Si's intentions and looked utterly exasperated.

"Fine... You brat, after all that, what you're really after is a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast—and you've got your eye on her two younger brothers, too, right?"

Huo Si, who had been about to say more, froze. His face turned crimson in an instant.

"We don't yet know how powerful a Titled Douluo is, and the Tang Hao you mentioned is one of the best among them. He possesses a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring."

"He had only just broken through to become a Titled Douluo when he fought three opponents at once and dealt heavy injuries to three Titled Douluo from Spirit Hall."

"Let's say the country really did use large missiles to eliminate the threat posed by the Titled Douluo and successfully capture the transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, Xiao Wu. Could you actually absorb a Soul Ring from a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?"

Elder Ke pushed up his glasses and held the Spirit Hall Soul Master statistics, along with the information on Spirit Hall compiled and studied by the Academy of Sciences.

"If I remember correctly, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring is the highest level of Soul Ring in the Douluo World. It's incredibly rare, and generally only the ninth Soul Ring meets the requirements for absorption."

"In other words, even if you, Pioneer, obtained a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast and killed her, you still wouldn't be able to absorb her Soul Ring in your current condition. Even if you broke through to Level 90 years from now, that would still be decades away, and you'd only be able to absorb one Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring."

Looking at Elder Ke, Huo Si's expression gradually grew serious.

"What if I told you that a Soul Beast's voluntary sacrifice had no age limit and no side effects?"

In an instant, the entire research institute erupted.

"Incredible! A transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast can become human!"

"She can sacrifice herself willingly, with no restrictions and no side effects!"

"Pioneer is absolutely determined to get the transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, Xiao Wu. Gaining the power of a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring would not only evolve his Martial Soul, it would also provide a lasting increase in Soul Power. The benefits would be endless!"

Watching the people around him erupt with excitement, Huo Si sensed that something was wrong.

With the intelligence of the Academy of Sciences and the Think Tank, there was no way they hadn't considered what I was worried about.

They could even calculate what I ought to do next, and which course of action would best serve my interests.

But right now, the Academy of Sciences and the Plane Research Institute felt like a ragtag outfit with no experience at all.

All their accumulated experience came from what I'd learned in that other world, even the plot details I'd told them.

"But I clearly told them I'd traveled into Douluo Continent."

Whoosh!

Huo Si whipped around to look at Elder Ke and Elder Gong.

"No. Something's wrong. There's definitely something wrong with you."

"I already told you I'd traveled into a novel. Even if you'd read just a little of it, you wouldn't be so clueless about what I'm about to face."

"What exactly are you hiding from me?"

At Huo Si's accusation, the entire research institute fell into deathly silence. Elder Ke and Elder Gong's expressions changed dramatically.

They didn't know what to say.

"All right. We can't keep this from him forever. We have to trust one another and tell Pioneer about the dangers there, so we can better plan around the course of events in the Douluo World."

In the end, Elder Long was the one who spoke.

As soon as Elder Long spoke, Elder Ke, Elder Gong, all the researchers, and the Think Tank members bowed deeply to Huo Si.

"We're sorry, Pioneer. We couldn't find the web novel you mentioned. We used Dragon Kingdom's most advanced search network and analyzed domestic and overseas sites, but couldn't find any novel matching the world of Douluo you described."

"We didn't tell you earlier because we were afraid you'd learn that this world didn't exist. The country only has a limited understanding of it as well. All we can do is analyze what you've told us, along with the information you brought back from that world."

"We're sorry we can't help you with this. But in every other regard, if you need anything, as long as you don't give up exploring the Douluo World, the Douluo Plane Research Institute, the Scientific Research Institute, and the Think Tank will always be here to help you."

Huo Si's eyes flew wide open, his face filled with disbelief.

"How could this be..."

"How could this be..."

Huo Si immediately snatched the phone from a researcher beside him and began searching...

In an instant, it was as if the sky had fallen. All the novels he'd known by heart in his previous life seemed to have vanished at once.

"They're all gone. How is that possible? Was it an accident?"

"The entire internet's gone back fifty years..."

Huo Si's scalp prickled. If just one or two famous novels had disappeared, that would be one thing. It could've been an accident, or perhaps the novels had been deleted from this world.

But he had the Plane Star Gate, and all those web novels had still disappeared. What did that mean?

Seeing Huo Si lose control, Elder Long let out a heavy sigh. He knew this was almost impossible to accept.

After all, a man had traveled to another world with knowledge of its entire plot, only to be met with contempt and ridicule.

He'd finally secured the country's full support, only to be told that the fictional world he'd traveled to didn't exist—and that every plot detail he knew might be false.

After such a blow, even with the help of a national organization, the situation had gone from a sure win to one fraught with endless danger.

"Xiao Huo, after verifying the plot you described, it's possible the events in that world really are as you said. It's just that it doesn't exist in our world..."

In the end, Elder Long gave Elder Gong a look.

"Actually, it's not as though we have no leads at all. I have a grandson who writes web novels. Apparently, one of his books is about to be released."

Huo Si grabbed Elder Gong at once.

"Your grandson's surname is Gong... Right, what's his pen name?"

Elder Gong thought it over carefully.

"I think it was something like Three Sisters-in-Law. Right, Sugar Plus Three Spoons!"

Boom!

The next moment, Huo Si requested to meet the young man and see the book he was about to publish.

Half an hour later, Huo Si looked at the manuscript the other man was about to publish.

[Douluo Loli Continent]

[An expert from the Tang Sect travels to another world and meets the loli Xiao Wu at an academy. He never expects her to be a transformed demon beast. By a stroke of luck, she becomes the Tang Sect expert's loli, giving him his very first loli and making him a Douluo-er of lofty status!]

Meanwhile, Xiao Gong, a young man, studied the information about the other world in his hands.

"This makes no sense at all. With Huo Si's talent, he's clearly a genius from another world; his Martial Soul is just a little weak. It's the standard wish-fulfillment novel formula. He has Innate Full Soul Power, even if he's in his twenties. How could Spirit Hall possibly refuse to take him in?"

Smack!

Elder Gong slapped Xiao Gong on the top of the head.

"Did you even read it properly? He's in his twenties, has ten levels of Soul Power, and a useless Martial Soul with no potential whatsoever. Of course Spirit Hall wouldn't take him in. Besides, they didn't explicitly reject him—they just refused to accept anyone below Level 20 Soul Grandmaster. Are you blind?"

In the end, Xiao Gong and Huo Si both looked at each other and declared,

"You don't know a damn thing about Douluo!"

"You don't know a damn thing about Douluo Loli!"
