Douluo: Breathing Makes Me Stronger, Tang San Was Terrified! Chapter 50

Although Xue Qinghe had ordered Snake Lance Douluo not to spread his speculation,

when Snake Lance Douluo returned to Spirit Hall to consult the records, he simply could not hide it from Bibi Dong's surveillance.

Bibi Dong was a level 98 Super Douluo. Although the Rakshasa God inheritance prevented her from wielding her full strength, her spiritual power was sharp enough to easily perceive Snake Lance Douluo's every movement.

Based on the materials Snake Lance Douluo had consulted, Bibi Dong reached the same conclusion after some deduction.

Lan Chen possessed the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul and had always concealed his past, so he had to be a Soul Beast Transformation, just like Ah Yin ten years ago.

This thrilled Bibi Dong. She had been troubled over adding Spirit Rings to her Second Martial Soul, and now that a hundred-thousand-year transformed Spirit Beast had appeared, she immediately dispatched Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, ordering them to capture Lan Chen and bring him back to Spirit Hall.

They had also investigated Lan Chen and knew that his Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul could draw upon the power of countless Blue Silver Grass plants in the wild, so they could not capture him outdoors.

If they captured him in Heaven Dou City, it would be a provocation against the Heaven Dou Imperial Family. After all, Heaven Dou City was their territory, and they could dispatch troops to intervene.

After considering everything, they decided to make their move at the city gate.

Just like now!

As upper echelons of Spirit Hall, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo naturally knew the true identity of the Xue Qinghe before them, so they acted very courteously.

Chrysanthemum Douluo even took the initiative to explain:

"Lan Chen's greatest problem is his Martial Soul. Only Ah Yin possessed the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul ten years ago, and Ah Yin was a hundred-thousand-year transformed Spirit Beast."

"Other than Ah Yin, no second person has ever possessed a Martial Soul like the Blue Silver Emperor. Now that Lan Chen possesses it, that is his greatest flaw."

"He has also constantly concealed his appearance, background, origins, and everything about his past. There is no doubt that he carries a secret."

"That secret is that he is not human, but a transformed Spirit Beast. He has disguised himself, so it is perfectly normal that Poison Douluo, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo failed to see through him."

"Lan Chen, if you are truly human, then come back to Spirit Hall with us for an investigation. If you are truly innocent, we will certainly restore your freedom. But if you are a transformed Spirit Beast, there can absolutely be no peaceful coexistence between humans and Spirit Beasts."

Polar Static Domain

A Soul Beast Transformation!

Me?

Lu Chen pointed at himself, his expression utterly bewildered as he did not know whether to laugh or cry.

He truly had not expected the people of Spirit Hall to mistake him for a transformed Spirit Beast just because of the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul.

After thinking it over, Lu Chen realized that it really did seem that way.

On the Douluo Continent, no one had ever awakened the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul. At most, they awakened the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, and they generally did not even possess Innate Soul Power.

Even among the few lucky ones, their Soul Power could not exceed level one.

Level one Soul Power was practically the same as having none at all. It was simply impossible to cultivate into a Spirit Master.

He possessed the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul, and he had always hidden his true appearance, background, and origins. His past was completely blank.

Good grief!

Even he was beginning to believe that he was a transformed Blue Silver Emperor Spirit Beast!

Lu Chen could neither laugh nor cry. Although he knew he was human, he could not possibly go to Spirit Hall with Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo to prove his innocence.

With his talent, once he fell into the hands of that madwoman Bibi Dong, if he refused to join Spirit Hall and become one of her dogs, she would certainly label him a transformed Spirit Beast and execute him openly.

Lu Chen would never place his life and death in someone else's hands.

Lu Chen turned to look at Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan.

"Brother Dugu, Yanyan, you know better than anyone why I hid my true identity."

"I cannot possibly be a transformed Spirit Beast. Now that Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo want to take me to Spirit Hall, I will never surrender without a fight."

"From now on, I will most likely become enemies with Spirit Hall. Are you... willing to stand with me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Dugu Yan seized Lu Chen's hand without hesitation. Her little face was filled with determination as she indignantly shouted:

"Spirit Hall may be powerful, but they cannot bully people like this! They are slandering you as a transformed Spirit Beast and trying to take you to Spirit Hall!"

"I absolutely will not agree! If we become enemies, then so be it. In any case, our Dugu Family has never been on the same side as Spirit Hall. Grandpa, isn't that right?"

Dugu Bo stepped forward and stood before Lu Chen and Dugu Yan. The terrifying pressure of his level 94 Soul Power erupted from his body, making the air around them turn thick and heavy.

He stared directly at Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, with not a trace of fear in his eyes, and shouted in a deep voice:

"On the basis of your one-sided claims, I will never believe that Lan Chen is some transformed Spirit Beast. I only believe my own eyes."

"Lan Chen's talent is merely a little exceptional, yet Spirit Hall has grown jealous and wants to snuff out this genius."

"Hmph! If you want to touch Lan Chen today, you will have to get past me first."

"Ju Hua Guan, you came at just the right time. I still remember your pursuit and attempted murder clearly. Today, we will settle both old and new scores together."

Hearing Dugu Bo's words, Yue Guan's suppressed killing intent surged forth once more. He said murderously:

"Stubborn fool! Dugu Bo, your strength has indeed improved quickly, but do you think that is enough to contend with us?"

"It seems that after making the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect suffer, you have become far too arrogant."

"The Pontiff sent the two of us here because we are confident we can suppress you."

"Old Ghost, use that move. Do not give Old Poison any chance to receive a boost."

Gui Mei replied concisely:

"Fine!"

The next instant, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei spoke in unison:

"Polar Static Domain!"

In an instant, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo erupted with towering auras. Beneath their feet, Spirit Rings rose one after another.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black!

Two yellow, two purple, and five black—each had the optimal Spirit Ring configuration!

A total of eighteen Spirit Rings overlapped in the sky as an unimaginable, vast power burst from Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, instantly imprisoning everything around them.

Dugu Bo's expression changed drastically. He only had time to turn around and throw Lu Chen and Dugu Yan out of the Polar Static Domain's range.

"Leave first! This is their Martial Soul Fusion Skill..."

Before he could finish, Dugu Bo was imprisoned within the Polar Static Domain. His body seemed bound in shackles; he could not even move a finger, and the Soul Power within his body was suppressed until it flowed as slowly as a turtle crawling.

This was the Martial Soul Fusion Skill of Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, the Polar Static Domain. Once successfully unleashed, it could suppress any Titled Douluo. Perhaps only a level 99 Peerless Douluo could forcefully shatter the domain through sheer power.

As for Dugu Bo, it was impossible for him to break through this domain by force.

Of course, there was good news as well. After Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo used their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, they too would be unable to move and would have to focus entirely on maintaining it.

At present, Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, and Dugu Bo had all lost their ability to fight. They could only remain locked in this stalemate.

Before Lu Chen and Dugu Yan, who had been thrown outside the Polar Static Domain's range, could say anything, they were surrounded once again.

The Platinum Bishop of Heaven Dou City's Martial Soul Temple, Salas, led four Soul Sage-level Red Cardinals and eight Spirit Emperor-level Black Cardinals. After leaving the city, they swiftly surrounded Lu Chen and Dugu Yan.

At that moment, Xue Qinghe fixed Salas with a cold, sharp gaze.

"Salas, you are the Platinum Bishop of Heaven Dou City's Martial Soul Temple. You hold a lofty position and possess great authority. Are you involving yourself in this matter as well?"

"Lan Chen is my honored guest. If you dare harm him, do not blame me for mobilizing troops to surround your Heaven Dou City Martial Soul Temple!"

Salas's heart trembled. He was not afraid of Xue Qinghe mobilizing troops, for as the Platinum Bishop of Heaven Dou City's Martial Soul Temple, he represented the face of Spirit Hall.

Even if Xue Qinghe wanted to mobilize troops, Xue Ye would never allow him to act recklessly.

But Salas clearly knew that the Xue Qinghe before him was actually Spirit Hall's young mistress, Qian Renxue.

As Spirit Hall's person in charge in Heaven Dou City, many of Qian Renxue's plans during her infiltration had been carried out by him.

Salas was not afraid of offending Xue Qinghe, but he knew that if he offended Qian Renxue, his position as Platinum Bishop would be finished.

However, he had received Bibi Dong's order, so he could not take even a single step back now.

One was Bibi Dong, and the other was Qian Renxue!

The more terrifying one was still Bibi Dong!

Salas gritted his teeth and said coldly:

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, you cannot act recklessly in this matter. Lan Chen is a transformed Spirit Beast, and Spirit Beasts are humanity's common enemy. Sheltering a Spirit Beast is the grave crime of betraying humanity."

"By the Pontiff's command, I am assisting Elder Chrysanthemum and Elder Ghost in capturing the transformed Spirit Beast, Lan Chen. I hope you will not obstruct us."

"Men, escort His Highness the Crown Prince away from here. Be careful not to injure His Highness."

As soon as he spoke, four of the eight Black Cardinals stepped forward and blocked Xue Qinghe's path, clearly intending to escort him away.

Xue Qinghe tightened her grip on the reins and looked toward Lu Chen and Dugu Yan, her face filled with anxiety.

She had originally intended to recruit Lu Chen gradually, but once Bibi Dong intervened, her plan had gone completely to ruin.

Although Bibi Dong was in Spirit Hall, she had made every preparation. She had transferred Snake Lance Douluo and Pufferfish Douluo away to prevent Xue Qinghe from meddling recklessly.

She had also summoned Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo to capture him, while having Salas, the Platinum Bishop of Heaven Dou City's Martial Soul Temple, cooperate with them.

She had not left Lu Chen any path to survival at all!

Under normal circumstances, as a Support Spirit Master, Lu Chen should not have possessed any combat ability. Once Dugu Bo was restrained, he would become fish on the chopping block.

But in truth, Lu Chen's combat ability was no weaker than his support ability!

Slaughter

Facing the encirclement of Platinum Bishop Salas, four Red Cardinals, and four Black Cardinals,

although Dugu Yan knew she was no match for them, she still bravely stepped in front of Lu Chen. She instantly completed her Martial Soul Possession, and five Spirit Rings rose in succession beneath her feet—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black.

Her eyes were resolute as she sternly shouted:

"Salas, if you want to take Lan Chen away, you will have to get past me first! As long as I am still alive, do not even think of touching a single hair on Lan Chen's head!"

But at that moment, Salas was not listening to anything Dugu Yan said. His attention had been completely drawn to her five Spirit Rings.

Salas was filled with shock.

Five-ring Soul King! How is that possible?

This Dugu Yan is not even twenty yet, is she? A five-ring Soul King under twenty—across the entire continent, there are only a handful who can compare to her.

What exactly happened to her? Could it... be related to Lan Chen? It seems that this time, we must capture him alive and bring him back to Spirit Hall!

Just as Salas was consumed by shock!

Lu Chen placed a hand on Dugu Yan's shoulder and said in a firm, resonant voice:

"Yanyan, leave this to me. One Soul Douluo, four Soul Sages, and four Spirit Emperors—if all of you die here, even Spirit Hall, with its countless experts, should feel the pain."

"Since you want to capture me, there is no need for me to hold back. I will use your blood to tell that Pontiff of yours that I am not so easily provoked."

"Blue Silver Domain, All-Encompassing Forest."

In an instant, a blue radiance erupted from Lu Chen's body and rapidly enveloped an area three hundred meters around him.

It engulfed Platinum Bishop Salas, along with the four Red Cardinals and four Black Cardinals.

There was not much Blue Silver Grass near the city gate, so Lu Chen's Blue Silver Domain could not draw upon the power of Blue Silver Grass.

Yet it could still exert twenty percent of its amplification and suppression effects.

The twenty percent suppression effect descended upon Salas, the Red Cardinals, and the Black Cardinals, instantly making their bodies feel heavy. Their movements slowed, and the circulation of Soul Power within them became sluggish.

Salas's expression darkened. With a sweep of his hand, he immediately gave the order:

"To awaken domain power before reaching Titled Douluo, this Lan Chen must be a transformed Spirit Beast."

"Attack together and capture Lan Chen and Dugu Yan quickly. Do not let him escape."

As soon as he spoke, the Red Cardinals and Black Cardinals answered in unison:

"By your command!"

Then, enduring the Blue Silver Domain's twenty percent suppression effect, the four Red Cardinals and four Black Cardinals summoned their Martial Souls together.

The four Red Cardinals were all Soul Sage experts. Seven Spirit Rings rose beneath their feet—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black—the undisputed optimal Spirit Ring configuration.

The four Black Cardinals were all Spirit Emperor experts. Six Spirit Rings rose beneath their feet—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black—also the optimal Spirit Ring configuration.
