Guessing His Identity

Five days later. ░▒▓█ █▓▒░

[Heaven Dou Empire], Ionia Province, ' Kennen City '.

"Ah Yi, after Yi Linlie's transformation, his aptitude can barely be considered that of a minor genius. Why don't we recruit him into our [Lingyun City]?"

"Anyone with eyes can see that although this kid has chosen to stay in Snow Moon City, he would definitely be willing to go back to Lingyun City with you if you asked."

Dugu Bo turned his gaze away from the bustling street scene and looked at Ling Yi, who was whispering something to Yang Shelly, and asked with some curiosity.

Under the baptism of the power of the heart blood of Sauron, a level Level 95 Titled Douluo, Yi Linlie's physical condition improved day by day. He was once judged to have no Soul Power, but in just three days, he went from nothing to becoming an eighth-level Soul Scholar!

Compared to Ji Xiang in the original timeline, who, after consuming a "Ten Thousand Year Ginseng King," had his eight extraordinary meridians opened by Tang San, and leaped to become a level ten Soul Scholar comparable to Innate Full Soul Power, it is estimated that after obtaining his First Soul Ring, he will have at least level fifteen Soul Power.

Compared to Tang San, who was at level 68 at the time, Ling Yi believed he was no less capable. Not only was his Soul Power comparable, but his spiritual realm was also superior. Furthermore, his understanding of the human body's meridians was in no way inferior to that of the martial artist who cultivated the "Mysterious Heaven Skill".

Yi Linlie was inferior to Ji Xiang only in the energy contained in a drop of Sauron's heart's blood, which couldn't compare to the richness of the "Ten Thousand Year Ginseng King". In addition, when Ling Yi sealed that drop of heart's blood, he deliberately controlled and slowed down the refining speed, so that Yi Linlie could absorb it better. This is why Ji Xiang became a near- One-Ring Soul Master in just one day and one night, while Yi Linlie had to lie in bed for a full day and one night, and his Soul Power only reached the third-level Soul Scholar. Afterwards, with the help of Ling Yi's teaching of "Beast Martial Soul: Xingyi Fist" to temper his body and accelerate digestion and absorption, he was able to become a sixth-level Soul Scholar on the second day and an eighth-level Soul Scholar on the third day.

"Now that New Cold Stone Town is in dire need of reconstruction, Yi Linlie, as the original captain of the town's patrol team, has his home there and his companions there. Compared to taking him thousands of miles to Lingyun City, staying in Snow Moon City is a choice that is more in line with his heart."

Ling Yi moved his mouth away from Yang Shelly's plump earlobe, met Dugu Bo's puzzled gaze, and explained with a faint smile, "In addition, Mr. Gui Mei of the Spirit Hall will be stationed in Snow Moon City from now on, which will make it easier for him to teach Yi Linlie."

"Yi Linlie's Martial Soul is 'Shadow,' so Mr. Gui Mei is a better fit for him."

"Alright~" Dugu Bo smacked his lips and nodded noncommittally.

He's just a Soul Master who hasn't become one yet. A single drop of blood from the level 95 Title Douluo, Soren, can create a genius like Yi Linlie. Now that Soren himself is still in their hands, with Ling Yi's methods, as long as they find someone with a compatible Martial Soul attribute, Lingyun City will surely be able to continuously produce new geniuses no weaker than Yi Linlie!

Seeing Dugu Bo's expression, Ling Yi immediately guessed what the other was thinking, but he didn't say anything.

Because that is indeed the case.

Admittedly, the medicinal effects of a "Ten Thousand Year Ginseng King" are powerful enough to create a true genius. However, such an opportunity is rare and hard to come by, as precious herbs like the "Ten Thousand Year Ginseng King" are basically rare treasures born naturally and are difficult to replicate.

Even with a treasure trove like the "Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well," which can increase the growth rate of rare flowers and herbs by more than ten times, the "Ten Thousand Year Ginseng King" cannot be mass-produced in a short period of time.

But Sauron is different. Just like the first Fallen Soul Master Ling Yi encountered, the Soul King named Ming He, he has made indelible and enormous contributions to Lingyun City under Ling Yi's command to this day!

Just like when the Tie Futu unexpectedly broke through to the Eight-Ring Soul Douluo, Ming He contributed half of his own essence and vital energy to make up for the Tie Futu's depleted and aging body.

It was also thanks to Ming He's selfless dedication and Ling Yi's early knowledge and understanding of human anatomy that the research progressed so quickly.

And then there are those who later joined the Martial Soul Research Institute and became half-step Great Body Teachers. The growing strength of Lingyun City is inseparable from their silent support!

"Speaking of which, this is the first time I've known that the ' Ruyi Hundred Treasure Purse ' I gave you could be used as a cage to imprison Soul Master." Dugu Bo seemed to have thought of something, his eyes twitched, and he looked at Ling Yi speechlessly.

"It's nothing," Ling Yi tilted his head slightly and said matter-of-factly, "The ' Soul-Sealing Shackles ' seal his Soul Power, the ' Coffin of Life ' imprisons his body, and the ' Ruyi Hundred Treasure Purse ' is just a temporary portable prison cart."

As he spoke, he glanced down at the blue leather pouch tied to his waist. No one would imagine that it actually held a Level 95 Titled Douluo!

Noticing Ling Yi's actions, Dugu Bo also looked at the Storage Soul Tool that once belonged to him, his eyes twitching uncontrollably.

His greatest dream was once to become Titled Douluo. Or rather, it was the dream of almost everyone on the Douluo Continent.

After meeting Ling Yi Ling Yi witnessing the many miracles that occurred to him, the Titled Douluo realm was no longer out of reach for Dugu Bo. Now Eight-Ring Soul Douluo, Dugu Bo was confident that he could break through to Level 90 in about ten years, thus achieving the tenth realm of Soul Master — the Titled Douluo!

But now, Dugu Bo suddenly realized that the image of a powerful and noble Titled Douluo in his heart had been completely shattered by Ling Yi.

A level Level 95 Titled Douluo was like a pig or sheep waiting to be slaughtered, shackled by Ling Yi, waiting to be cut to pieces and bled dry.

When did the Titled Douluo, who once stood above millions of people on the Douluo Continent, fall to such a state?

Thinking of Sauron, a prisoner, Dugu Bo was reminded of the "Slaughter City" that Ling Yi had mentioned before.

"Do you think that the ' Slaughter City ' has done something so heinous this time, will the Spirit Hall wipe them all out?"

"Unlikely," Ling Yi shook his head, giving a negative prediction. "They haven't made a move in so many years, this time it's probably hopeless too."

As he spoke, Ling Yi added in his mind, "That's where the Asura God selects his successor, just like the Sea God's ' Sea God Island.' Does the Spirit Hall dare to destroy the ' Slaughter City '?"

Are Qian Xunji and Qian Daoliu being ignorant, and are the Angel God also being ignorant?

Around the same time, similar conversations also occurred in ' Spirit City '.

"You mean, Chen Xin of Lingyun City broke through to the Titled Douluo realm, and during this Heaven Dou Northern Territory Calamity, they even captured a Titled Douluo?!"

In the spacious Pope's Palace, Qian Xunji sat high on a gilded chair, his cold and majestic eyes fixed on Bibi Dong, who was bowing and standing below. His tone carried a hint of disbelief and doubt.

Are you kidding me?

This was Qian Xunji's first thought at that moment.

Even for him, the His Holiness the Pope the Spirit Hall, unless he brings along several elders or elders to fight together, he might be able to defeat or kill a Titled Douluo in a one-on-one situation, but to capture one?

In a one-on-one fight, unless Qian Daoliu personally intervenes and that Titled Douluo doesn't possess any rule-breaking or overpowered Soul Skill or trump cards, there's almost no chance of success!

Thinking of this, Qian Xunji considered a possibility and asked, "Did that titled ' Chen Jianjun ' also participate?"

"Your Majesty," Yue Guan replied respectfully with his head bowed, "No, the key this time is that mysterious man called ' Erlang '."

Then, Yue Guan recounted the events of that day to Qian Xunji in detail.

After a long while, in the Pope's Palace, which was empty except for Qian Xunji, His Holiness the Pope frowned, his fingers tapping unconsciously on the armrest of his chair.

"Do you think that 'Erlang' is the same person Wu Wudi Erlang, who tricked Tang Hao and his brother last time?"

Qian Xunji's gaze was fixed on the empty hall, and he murmured to himself, "What do you mean?"

In his view, it was indeed a joke. From beginning to end, it was as if the other party had gone there specifically to find an excuse to beat up Tang Hao. As for Tang Xiao, he was simply implicated.

As for the other person present at the time, if it weren't for the fact that he was the son of Yu Yuanzhen, the patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Qian Xunji wouldn't even remember his name.

"They are all covered in armor and wear masks to conceal their faces, yet they still possess extremely strong combat power without using their Martial Soul..."

"It's hard to say."

Qian Daoliu, dressed in a gray robe, appeared beside Qian Xunji at some point, standing with his hands behind his back, also looking down at the empty Pope's Palace.

"Given the strength of the Tang Hao brothers at the time, even the Golden Crocodile might not have been able to toy with them so easily, especially since they didn't summon their Martial Soul or use Soul Ring or Soul Skill throughout the entire process."

"It's already rare to find even one such powerful individual, let alone two..."

At this point, Qian Daoliu suddenly stopped talking because he suddenly remembered himself and Tang Chen.

I once thought I was the Weiyi Level 99 being in the Douluo Continent, but who knew that Tang Chen, who had also broken through to Level 99, would suddenly appear, without any intervention from divine power!

When Qian Daoliu first learned about it, he was greatly shocked.

Only by truly cultivating to Level 99 can one understand the magnitude of the gap between Level 98 and Level 99. If it weren't for the divine blessing of the Angel God, Qian Daoliu himself wasn't sure if he could even take that step, or even if he could, how much time would it take?

Noticing Qian Daoliu's pause, Qian Xunji quickly thought of Tang Chen as well, and without dwelling on the topic, continued, "The most crucial thing is his Soul Ring —five black and one red!"

"With this configuration, if he doesn't have Twin Martial Souls like Dong'er, and has overcome the difficulty of adding Soul Ring to his Second Martial Soul, then he is most likely a chosen successor of some deity, whose spirit Soul Ring were enhanced by the deity's divine power after passing the God Trial!"

At this point, even the proud Qian Xunji couldn't help but reveal a hint of jealousy in his eyes.

You should know that even he only has two yellow, two purple, and five black Soul Ring rings. His Ninth Soul Ring is not even 100,000 years old!

Unfortunately, Qian Xunji didn't even qualify for the God Trial test before the Angel God Statue. He didn't receive either the God-Given Soul Ring or the reward for increasing the age of his Soul Ring.

Logically speaking, with Qian Daoliu's strength, he should have been able to help Qian Xunji hunt down a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast when acquiring the Ninth Soul Ring.

However, in reality, Qian Daoliu did not do that. Qian Xunji led several Titled Douluo- level elders to hunt down a 90,000-year-old "Holy Light Golden Feather Kite".

Thinking of this, a sinister glint flashed in Qian Xunji's eyes.

"Chen Xin has now broken through to the Titled Douluo. Although his father Chen Jianjun's exact level is uncertain, he is undoubtedly a Titled Douluo as well."

"In addition to this mysterious ' Erlang,' with his Soul Ring Configuration, even though he is only a Soul Emperor, his combat power has been fully demonstrated this time, and he is no less than Titled Douluo!"

[Lingyun City] possesses three Titled Douluo. Although its lower and middle ranks are weak, its foundation has made it the strongest force besides our [Spirit Hall] and the Tang Family family of [Clear Sky Sect]. Even an established force like the [Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan] is inferior to it in terms of top-tier combat power.

Hearing Qian Xunji's words, Qian Daoliu his head and looked at his strong-willed son. "What are your plans?"

Qian Xunji's eyes flashed, and he said indifferently, "Chen Jianjun and his son Chen Xin are both granted titles, as the Pope of the Spirit Hall, I naturally have to invite them to Spirit City to hold a grand title conferment ceremony, to announce and spread their titles to the entire continent..."

"Compared to our Spirit Hall, Lingyun City boasts two Titled Douluo. Tang Zhen and Yu Yuanzhen should be the ones who care the most..."

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is now lagging behind the Clear Sky Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. I will propose that Lingyun City replace the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and become one of the new Upper Three Sects!"

"Are you trying to use one tiger to devour another?" Qian Daoliu frowned as he looked at Qian Xunji, whose eyes were flashing with ambition and scheming.

Deep down, Qian Daoliu disliked these schemes and plots; in his view, strength was the most important thing.

With Tang Chen back, no force in the Douluo Continent can pose a threat to the Spirit Hall Spirit Hall Tang Chen returns.

Just like this time, the Fallen Soul Master of the ' Slaughter City ' only dared to limit their hunting of civilians and Soul Master to the northern border of Heaven Dou. In order to prevent the news from being leaked, they initially only targeted Bibi Dong, Yue Guan, and Gui Mei, who were Soul Emperor and Soul Douluo. On the ' Slaughter City ' side, there were Titled Douluo and many Soul Douluo who were ready to take action.

The purpose was to prevent the Spirit Hall from receiving any information!

For Qian Daoliu and the Spirit Hall, it's not easy to destroy the "Slaughter City," the land of the Asura God's inheritance. However, if they were to replace it with the Slaughter King, it wouldn't be a big problem.

Over thousands of years, there have been many instances of Slaughter King being replaced in this way.

A thousand years ago, the Spirit Hall made an agreement with a former Slaughter King: the Slaughter City would restrict Fallen Soul Master who entered it from leaving, while the Spirit Hall would turn a blind eye to the Fallen Soul Master inside the Slaughter City.

For nearly a thousand years, the Spirit Hall and the Slaughter City have lived in peace, each keeping to their own interests.

Qian Daoliu never expected that this new Slaughter King would be so audacious as to openly send the Law Enforcement Team of the "Slaughter City" to hunt down civilians. Even their Holy Maiden Bibi Dong of the Spirit Hall almost lost her life there.

With this thought in mind, Qian Daoliu stopped paying too much attention to Lingyun City and began to consider whether to make a trip to the Slaughter City.

Although the area is shrouded in the "Asura God Light," much like the "Sea God's Light" of "Sea God Island" and the "Angel Holy Light" of "Spirit City," which greatly suppresses outsiders, he himself possesses the "Angel Domain" and is blessed by the Angel God. If he is determined to kill the Slaughter King, his success rate is still quite high.
