Desire at First Sight

Ling Yi, is it possible for you to cultivate to Level 99 like Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen?

Could we even go further, break through the insurmountable barrier, and achieve the level 100 godhood that Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen had failed to accomplish even after decades of wasted effort?

Faced with Qian Xunji's question, Qian Daoliu's eyes flashed, but he did not answer directly. Instead, he first looked around the empty Pope's Palace.

Just moments ago, this place was covered with pale blue "Blue Silver Grass," but now it's completely empty, as if the scene before was just an illusion.

All of this was decided in a single thought by Ling Yi.

"In terms of Martial Soul quality alone, Ling Yi's 'Azure Wood Blue Silver Emperor ' Martial Soul possesses the Innate Domain ' Blue Silver Domain,' which is comparable to our Qian Clan's ' Angel ' Martial Soul."

Qian Daoliu gave the highest praise to Ling Yi's Martial Soul.

"You should know that even Tang Chen's ' Clear Sky Hammer ' didn't gain a domain after its Ninth Soul Ring was added!"

"Ling Yi once said in his ' Martial Soul Organ Theory ' class that the little girl from the Tang Family named Tang Yuehua possessed Congenital Domain. If her Martial Soul Evolution when Martial Soul Awakening back then, then her Martial Soul could truly stand on the same level as our Qian Clan's ' Angel ' Martial Soul!"

"And then there's Yu Xiaogang from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. If he really awakens the ' Radiant Holy Dragon ' Martial Soul, the Douluo Continent will definitely gain another super Martial Soul!"

Qian Daoliu shook his head with a sigh as he finished speaking.

The Spirit Hall's infiltration and investigation of Lingyun City were far more thorough than those of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Clear Sky Sect.

The latter two are family forces bound by surname and bloodline. It is easy to place people in the lower and middle levels. Once it comes to the upper levels, they are basically the direct descendants of the Yu Family and the Tang Family, or at the very least, powerful collateral descendants.

This situation is particularly evident in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. The Clear Sky Sect at least has a considerable number of affiliated Soul Master clans, and the patriarchs of these affiliated Soul Master clans can barely participate in some of the Clear Sky Sect's high-level decision-making.

However, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is a family-style power with a long history, even comparable to the Spirit Hall and the Qian Clan Families. It has a deep foundation and many members. It is entirely accurate to say that the top leaders are all surnamed Yu!

Of course, Qian Daoliu's sigh was not because the Spirit Hall had little information about these two families, and some key information was actually obtained from Lingyun City and from Ling Yi, but because it was a pity that Tang Yuehua and Yu Xiaogang's Martial Soul had not evolved successfully.

Although from the perspective of the Spirit Hall, Qian Daoliu's regret was somewhat inappropriate, as a true powerhouse standing at the ceiling of combat power in the Douluo Continent, he genuinely hoped that a new powerhouse of the same level would emerge.

It's lonely at the top!

Why were he and Tang Chen so easily attracted to Bo Saixi?

Only when they reach their level can they share a common understanding.

Level 99 and those below Level 99 perceive everything in this world differently.

Just as he found it difficult to discuss cultivation with his son Qian Xunji, it was not only because Qian Xunji's talent and comprehension were insufficient to understand his words, but also because some truths could only be understood intuitively and could not be explained in words.

Or rather, given the combined knowledge of Qian Daoliu, Tang Chen, and Bo Saixi, they were unable to express their own insights directly through language.

The three of them often only need to say a general statement, yet they are able to accurately grasp the meaning the other is trying to convey, thanks to their own level of understanding.

The key to his mutual appreciation with Tang Chen and his simultaneous attraction to Bo Saixi lies in their shared understanding and understanding.

Shaking his head to suppress the chaotic thoughts in his mind, Qian Daoliu continued, "Of course, the quality of his Martial Soul can only confirm that he has the potential to break through to the Titled Douluo realm."

Turning his gaze to Qian Xunji beside him, Qian Daoliu's eyes held a hint of regret. "You should know that before Level 95, you only need to accumulate and hone your Soul Power and spiritual power. But after Level 95, if you want to advance further, you need to comprehend your own Martial Soul, the laws of attributes, and the spiritual realm..."

As Qian Daoliu's words rang in his ears, Qian Xunji's expression instantly turned icy cold and extremely ugly.

Noticing this, Qian Daoliu frowned slightly, but did not change his mind. Instead, he continued, "Ling Yi was able to cultivate to the Seven-Ring Soul Sage realm at the age of thirty-two. In terms of cultivation talent, he is still superior to that Tang Hao!"

"Don't forget, Ling Yi is on the Healing System path, while Tang Hao is on the Power Attack System path! He also has the entire [Clear Sky Sect] as his backing, and even the path pioneered by Tang Chen, perfectly matching the advancement path of the ' Clear Sky Hammer '!"

"This is also a great advantage for us Soul Master who have family traditions."

"The disciples of the Clear Sky Sect, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the White Tiger Dai Family, the Seven Treasures Ning Family... even third-rate forces like the Elephant Armor Sect and the White Armored Earth Dragon Sect have better starting conditions than Ling Yi!"

"But he has still managed to reach his current level step by step, at this age. He is destined to become a Titled Douluo!"

"Furthermore, through the ' Blue Silver Domain ' he released earlier, I sensed an aura of Endless Life within his Soul Power."

"Clearly, he, who is only Seven-Ring Soul Sage, has already comprehended the spiritual realm. This is the power of the Congenital Domain. It is not what those ignorant people think, that they simply regard it as a combat enhancement tool."

"Tang Chen doesn't have a domain either, but under his ' Great Sumeru Hammer,' how many opponents of the same level could withstand it?"

"So, Level 99 is hard to say, but Level 95 is definitely not his final destination!"

If I don't perish along the way~

This last sentence was what Qian Daoliu said in his heart.

He also knew that with Chen Jianjun pursuing him, Ling Yi would basically not face any more danger to his Life in the Douluo Continent unless he and Tang Chen took action.

Not to mention Erlang, who was always by Ling Yi's side and whom he had never been able to see Erlang.

Upon thinking of this, Qian Daoliu sighed leisurely, "The Douluo Continent is about to produce a Titled Douluo Healing System!"

The voice was very soft, but the meaning behind the words was extremely serious and certain.

It should be noted that the cultivation speed of Support System is notoriously slow. The last Support System Titled Douluo on the Douluo Continent dates back hundreds of years!

Similarly, because Ling Yi is Healing System Soul Master, both Qian Daoliu and Ling Yi Qian Xunji have an innate sense of trust in him.

In their view, even if Ling Yi cultivated to the Titled Douluo level, or even further and truly reached Level 99 like Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen, he would ultimately only be a Healing System Soul Master. He would never reach the overwhelming power of Tang Chen, nor would another "Number One Sect Under Heaven" emerge.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, one of the Upper Three Sects, is practically the upper limit of Lingyun City!

At most, it would be just as Ling Yi just said, "outrageous words," that he would establish a territory and create the third empire on the Douluo Continent, the Lingyun Empire, which would stand alongside the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire!

However, neither the Upper Three Sects, Lingyun City, nor the potential Lingyun Empire, can pose the same threat to the Spirit Hall as the Clear Sky Sect.

All of this is simply because the Spirit Hall has Qian Daoliu, and the Clear Sky Sect has Tang Chen!

In the end, this world is all about strength.

If Ling Yi were not Healing System Soul Master, but rather Support System Soul Master like the Ning Family of the Seven Treasures, who focused on all-around enhancement, Qian Daoliu might not be able to say for sure, but Qian Xunji would definitely seize this opportunity to keep Ling Yi in ' Spirit City ' at all costs, regardless of whether he lives or dies!

After all, Chen Jianjun is already a Level 97 Super Douluo. With the amplification and enhancement of a Support System Titled Douluo, it's hard to guarantee that he won't have combat power comparable to Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen.

As for whether Chen Jianjun will break through one after another, from Level 97 to Level 98, and then to Level 99?

Their Second Worship of the Spirit Hall, Golden Crocodile Douluo, spent nearly thirty years breaking through from Level 97 to Level 98. Currently, facing the path between level Level 98 and Level 99, he hasn't even found his direction. Even with Qian Daoliu's advice, it's to no avail.

After all, the two have different Martial Soul attributes, and the attribute laws and spiritual realms they comprehend are also different.

Qian Daoliu, being in a superior position, could gain some insights from Golden Crocodile Douluo, but Golden Crocodile Douluo could not gain any inspiration from Qian Daoliu, and even had to avoid being "led astray" by Qian Daoliu.

Upon hearing Qian Daoliu's predictions and outlook on Ling Yi's future strength and realm, Qian Xunji's expression turned cold, but the emotions revealed in his eyes were extremely complex, including admiration, jealousy, resentment, greed, and desire... but in the end, all of these vanished, leaving him as indifferent and aloof as ever.

Meanwhile, after leaving the Pope's Palace, Ling Yi and his two companions returned to their lodgings, accompanied by Musos and Yao Qi.

On the way, as we passed the Collection Tower, a fiery red figure emerged from the tower.

"Huh?"

With a soft exclamation, the fiery red figure noticed the presence of Ling Yi and the others.

There's no way around it; Ling Yi's face is just too handsome. Furthermore, there's Ling Yi's gentle, refined demeanor, Chen Jianjun's unyielding pride, and the "Erlang" completely shrouded in silver armor and a mask, creating a unique and unconventional style. This combination would make them stand out even on the bustling commercial streets of the two great empires' capitals, let alone on the sparsely populated streets of Spirit City. They would instantly become the center of attention.

The fiery red figure noticed Ling Yi and his group, and Ling Yi and his companions naturally noticed the figure as well, all turning their gazes toward the entrance of the Collection Tower.

With her crimson leather armor, short purplish-gray hair, fair skin, delicate features, and tall figure, she was still quite beautiful, though not as stunning as goddesses like Yang Shelly, Ah Yin, or Bibi Dong.

Most importantly, on the left breast of the crimson leather armor, there was a badge with an engraving of eight small swords!

The Eighth Realm of Soul Master: Seven-Ring Soul Sage—!!

A look of surprise flashed in Chen Jianjun's eyes. At the age of one hundred, apart from Yang Shelly and Ah Yin who were by Ling Yi's side, he had really rarely seen female Soul Master of the Six-Ring Soul Emperor level or above over the years.

The last time was in Cold Stone Town in the northern border of Heaven Dou, when I met Bibi Dong, the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall. She had just broken through to the Six-Ring Soul Emperor not long ago.

Now we've actually encountered another one, and their strength surpasses Bibi Dong's, reaching the level of Seven-Ring Soul Sage!

Although one could tell from the expression between his brows that he was older than Bibi Dong, who still retained a touch of naivety, he was still undoubtedly a genius with exceptional talent!

"Musos, Yao Qi".

After lingering on Ling Yi's face for a moment, the woman finally looked away and then saw Musos and Yao Qi accompanying him. With a slight movement in her eyes, she took the initiative to step forward and greet them.

"Feinisi." *2

Upon seeing the newcomer, Musos and his companion naturally maintained proper etiquette and responded respectfully. This woman was, aside from Bibi Dong, the most favored female Soul Master by His Holiness the Pope the Spirit Hall, and was fawned over wherever she went.

In response to their reply, Feinisi raised her fair chin slightly and nodded demurely. Then, before Musos and the other could speak, she turned her gaze to Ling Yi again and asked, "And this gentleman is—?"

"Oh!" Upon hearing this, Yao Qi slapped his forehead and quickly introduced, "This is Master Ling Yi, the city lord of Lingyun City and the president of the Green Wood Merchant Association!"

As she spoke, Yao Qi turned to Ling Yi and continued, "Master Ling, this is Feinisi, she is..."

However, before Yao Qi could finish speaking, Feinisi interrupted him and introduced herself:

"My name is Feinisi, my Martial Soul is ' Blazing Fire Ling Yuan,' and I am Level 74 Battle Soul Saint of the Power Attack System!"

Seeing this, Ling Yi smiled slightly at Feinisi and politely replied, "Hello, my name is Ling Yi, my Martial Soul is 'Azure Wood Blue Silver Emperor,' and Level 71 Support Soul Saint of the Healing System."

"Healing System? Soul Saint?!" Upon hearing this, Feinisi's eyes lit up immediately. She looked Ling Yi up and down, and her gaze almost made Musos and Yao Qi, who were standing next to her, think that she wanted to devour Ling Yi.

"Uh..." Yao Qi forced himself to take half a step forward, slightly blocking Feinisi's somewhat fiery gaze, and said awkwardly, "Feinisi, Master Ling is His Holiness the Pope's guest. I still need to take Master Ling and His Seven Kill Douluo to their residence. If there's nothing else, we'll be leaving now."

"Your Majesty?!" Feinisi's eyes widened involuntarily as she looked at Chen Jianjun and Erlang beside Ling Yi.

Yao Qi didn't continue introducing the place to Feinisi. Instead, he turned to Musos and gave him a wink. Then, with a gesture, he led Ling Yi and the other two past Feinisi and continued towards the villa.

As he passed Feinisi, Ling Yi smiled and nodded at her as a farewell.

Musos stayed behind instead of leaving with the others. Only after Ling Yi and the others had walked far away did he say to Feinisi, who was still staring at Ling Yi's retreating figure, with a hint of annoyance, "Snap out of it! If you keep staring, you'll be completely mesmerized!"

"So handsome—!"

Feinisi ignored Musos's words, murmuring softly as her long, straight legs rubbed together slightly, a blush rising on her fair cheeks.

Clearly, Ling Yi's parting smile had made her forget the existence of the titled Lord Chen Jianjun.

Looking at Feinisi, who seemed to be in some special state, Musos was speechless for a moment, while at the same time marveling at Ling Yi's high level of charm.
