A New Era

A few days later, inside a hotel in Lingyun City. ღ(¯`◕‿◕´¯) ♫ ♪ ♫ ♫ ♪ ♫ (¯`◕‿◕´¯)ღ

Chen Xin entered her father Chen Jianjun's room and began to recount the information she had recently gathered.

"Father, while the official forces of ' Lingyun City ' are somewhat lacking in high-end and mid-level combat power, their grassroots combat power is quite formidable!"

Chen Xin showing surprise, said:

"Did you know? Like those three constables from a few days ago, there are actually over a thousand One-Ring Soul Master in the entire ' Lingyun City '!"

"Thousands?!"

Chen Jianjun, a dignified Level 96 Titled Douluo, couldn't help but twitch his eyebrows slightly upon hearing this number.

Those are over a thousand Soul Master with one ring!

It's important to know that, according to the Spirit Hall's statistics, the total number of Soul Master across the entire continent does not exceed 100,000. Among them, the Barak Kingdom has only about 2,000 resident Soul Master.

Of course, the actual number is definitely more than that. If you add those Soul Master families that are not registered with the Spirit Hall, and those that are hidden for various reasons, it's not impossible to double the number, but adding 50% is probably not a problem.

In the original novel, during the Spirit Hall's "Soul Hunting Operation," the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was completely wiped out, except for a few survivors. Even with the help of the Heaven Dou Empire's army to collect the bodies, it still took three days to bury them all. (-_-) (-_-)

On the other hand, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has clear records showing that two thousand disciples were killed in action, and with their strength severely depleted, all remaining members retreated to Heaven Dou City.

At that time, after being poisoned by Qian Renxue, Xue Ye shouted that he had a million-strong army and wanted to fight the Spirit Hall head-on, but he was silenced by Yu Xiaogang's words that "the Spirit Hall has at least more than 30,000 Soul Master of different levels".

Although the two thousand disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect who died in battle, and the two thousand resident Soul Master of the Barak Kingdom, there must be many experts among them, whether they are Two-Ring Grand Soul Master, Three-Ring Soul Elder, Four-Ring Soul Ancestor, or even Five-Ring Soul King and Six-Ring Soul Emperor, the quality of the Soul Master in Lingyun City is definitely not as good as the above two.

However, if Lingyun City truly has thousands of Soul Master, then it would be a formidable force that cannot be ignored across the entire Douluo Continent.

Even if these Soul Master are only at the One-Ring Soul Master.

It's important to understand that the descendants of Soul Master have an extremely high chance of becoming Soul Master themselves. With such a large base of Soul Master, as long as Lingyun City continues to develop step by step, one day a true powerhouse, such as Titled Douluo, will emerge, and a new top-tier power will be formed.

It's not the kind of top-tier power that rises to the top by relying on one person's efforts, but rather a top-tier power with a profound foundation and solid roots, like the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!

Here, you can click on the [Clear Sky Sect]. If it weren't for the prestigious name of Tang Chen back then, which attracted a large number of affiliated Soul Master families, the [Clear Sky Hammer Tang Family] would have faced an awkward situation of being illegitimate in its ambition to become the number one sect in the world. ׺°"˜`"°º× ׺°"˜`"°º×

Seeing that even her father was moved, Chen Xin took a deep breath and continued, "That's right. Although they are basically all One-Ring Soul Master, and they are scattered in various departments such as the government constables, Guard Team, and city guards, they may not seem very conspicuous, but this number cannot be faked."

"Most importantly, these people were basically all trained by ' Lingyun City ' itself!"

At this point, Chen Xin could no longer hide the shock on his face:

"Every single one of them has First Soul Ring made of a hundred-year-old ' Blue Silver Grass '!"

"Regardless of their Martial Soul, their Soul Ring are all ' Blue Silver Grass '!"

"Over 80% of the Soul Ring and Soul Skill, like those three from a few days ago, are named ' Abundant Vitality,' and the rest are mostly similar support-type Soul Skill!"

→

"It's fair to say that the Soul Master of ' Lingyun City ' have a completely different style from those of Soul Master in other parts of the continent!"

"They don't differentiate between Power Attack System, Control System, Defense System, or Support System. Martial Soul are merely a cultivation medium. They rely on various armor and weapons forged by blacksmiths for combat. Soul Skill are only used to either amplify their abilities or heal themselves..."

"Their strength is built upon a foundation of powerful physiques honed through hard work, with honed combat skills forming the backbone. Martial Soul, Soul Power, and Soul Skill are merely supplementary..."

Listening to his son's account, Chen Jianjun also recalled the scene from a few days ago, when the two of them felt that the aura of Chen Ningqi, Chen Zhishan and the other two was a bit off.

At this moment, Chen Jianjun finally realized what was wrong.

Chen Ningqi and the others didn't consider themselves Soul Master at all!

"Hiss--!!!"

Thinking of this, even though he was nearly a hundred years old and his strength had reached the top level of the Douluo Continent, the Level 96 Super Douluo, Chen Jianjun still couldn't help but gasp.

"This ' Lingyun City,' no! It's that Ling Yi... Has he gone mad?!"

Chen Jianjun felt his sword heart waver and couldn't help but say, "Does he realize that this is practically challenging the entire Soul Master system of the Douluo Continent?"

At this moment, a string snapped in Chen Jianjun's mind, and his powerful mental strength and spiritual cultivation made his brain work rapidly.

As a native of the Douluo Continent, you could say that he has not received any decent cultural education and his way of thinking is relatively rigid and outdated. However, he was able to cultivate to the level of Titled Douluo, and even break through to Level 96, and will reach level Level 97 in the future. Apart from the fact that the "Seven Kill Sword" is Top-Level Martial Soul and his own bloodline talent is at the top level in the world, no one can deny Chen Jianjun's wisdom and comprehension.

Even with his current Level 96 strength, Chen Jianjun is still a pillar-like being capable of suppressing the fortune of an empire.

Dusty to strength and the way of the sword, Chen Jianjun may not be as good as the royal family members, court ministers, or even the leaders of various forces represented by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School when it comes to political maneuvering. However, his pure sword heart allows him to discover things that others cannot in the first place.

It is something that is obscured by a heavy cloud of complex information, causing many intelligent people to be blinded by a single leaf and unable to see it.

Ling Yi seems to want to usher in a new era!

A completely different era from Soul Master, transcending the Martial Soul system!

The thought popped into my head, and even with my Chen Jianjun mindset, I was still startled by my own idea.

With a dazzling light shining from his sword-like eyes, Chen Jianjun stared straight at his son Chen Xin and said, word by word, "Tell me about Ling Yi, the city lord of Lingyun City!"

I need to know everything about him—!

With his sword heart just beginning to take shape, Chen Xin, whose spiritual senses were equally sharp, saw his father in this state. Recalling what he had seen and heard in Lingyun City over the past few days, an unbelievable thought also surfaced in his mind.

Often, true outsiders like Chen Jianjun and Chen Xin, who go it alone, are more likely to see through the fog and see what others cannot.

Of course, they also need to have enough strength to support their vision and perspective to rise to a certain level. Otherwise, they will be just like ordinary people, passively accepting external information and believing whatever they are told to believe.

Just as Chen Xin was telling Chen Jianjun about the information about Ling Yi, the father and son were unaware that on the windowsill of their hotel room, several clumps of light blue grass were swaying gently in the breeze.

To be continued tomorrow, goodnight everyone~
