Everyone's Condition

"Elder Kong!"

Upon seeing the newcomer, Xu Tianyuan recognized him as Elder Kong Deming of the Sun Moon Empire, who had recently broken through to become the continent's first tenth-rank soul master.

Xu Tianyuan watched as Kong Deming and Qian Daoliu exchanged banter with a sense of mutual understanding.

Gone were the images of the lofty, untouchable experts they usually projected.

Xu Tianyuan knew that the Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi before him were none other than the Angel Douluo and Sea God Douluo who had shaken the continent a year ago.

Not daring to delay, Xu Tianyuan immediately ordered the Imperial Dragon Soul Master Legion to retract their soul devices and return to the Ming Capital.

He himself stood to the side, quietly awaiting Elder Kong's instructions.

To his surprise, as Kong Deming passed by, he merely cast a glance at Xu Tianyuan before ignoring him entirely, flying straight toward Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi to offer his greetings.

What followed left Xu Tianyuan dumbfounded.

Kong Deming silently endured Qian Daoliu's verbal barrage without a single word of complaint.

Xu Tianyuan's mouth twitched at the sight, and he felt a lingering fear over his decision to lead the Imperial Dragon Soul Master Legion to intercept them at the city gates.

He absolutely loathed his loose-lipped subordinate from earlier.

He truly wanted to slap that talkative subordinate to death right now.

As for Qian Daoliu's side!

Qian Daoliu, Bo Saixi, Kong Deming, and Ye Guyi exchanged a few pleasantries.

Then, they bid farewell to Xu Tianyuan and entered the Ming Capital.

On the way into the city, Qian Daoliu shared the questions he had accumulated along the journey with Kong Deming.

After listening, Kong Deming let out a long sigh and said, "Brother Qian, Sister Bo Saixi, this is a long story!"

"I can only say that the Douluo Continent has become a complete mess!"

"The Star Dou Great Forest launched a beast tide to occupy Shrek Academy!"

"Shrek Academy has relocated to the Star Luo Empire!"

"The Holy Spirit Cult has become the state religion of the Tianling Empire and has launched wars against others!"

"My Sun Moon Empire originally intended to conquer the Tianhun Empire and slowly assimilate it!"

"But we were besieged by the Star Luo Empire and the Tianling Empire!"

Along the way, Kong Deming spoke at length.

Qian Daoliu finally gained some understanding of the latest situation on the Douluo Continent.

Even Bo Saixi couldn't help but marvel at how much the Douluo Continent had changed in just one year.

Qian Daoliu did not rush to the Offering Hall or the Imperial Palace to see Xu Tianran upon his return to the Ming Capital.

Instead, he had Ye Guyi lead him to the location of the Soul Hall in the Ming Capital.

Inside the Soul Hall, the latest generation of the Soul Hall stood waiting outside the main entrance.

Qian Daoliu's call earlier had been heard by more than just Kong Deming.

It could be said that everyone in the Ming Capital had heard it.

This naturally included the new generation of the Soul Hall: Qiangu Zhenyue, Qiangu Zhenxie, Jin Lin, and Guang Yao.

As soon as they met, Qiangu Zhenyue, Qiangu Zhenxie, and Jin Lin knelt before Qian Daoliu: "Teacher, you have finally returned!"

Guang Yao knelt before Bo Saixi: "Student Guang Yao pays respects to Teacher!"

Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi exchanged a glance and used their soul power to lift them from the ground. "Rise, all of you!"

Qian Daoliu then began to assess the strength of the new generation of the Soul Hall.

The first he observed was, naturally, Ye Guyi.

Qian Daoliu discovered that despite only a short year passing, Ye Guyi had already broken through the Soul Emperor realm to reach the Soul Saint realm. He also noticed that as her cultivation level rose, her soul master rank had also advanced to the seventh rank.

One had to admit that Ye Guyi was truly blessed to be born in this era.

Qiangu Zhenyue, Qiangu Zhenxie, Jin Lin, and Guang Yao had all broken through the level 60 threshold as well.

They had all reached the Soul Emperor realm.

It was clear that the old man Kong Deming had taken good care of the Soul Hall.

Among them: Ye Guyi, 19, Holy Angel, level 72 Soul Emperor.

Qiangu Zhenyue: Coiling Dragon Staff martial soul, 19, level 65 Soul King.

Qiangu Zhenxie: Coiling Dragon Staff, 19, level 65 Soul King.

Jin Lin: Platinum Crocodile King, 18, level 64 Soul King.

Guang Yao: Starlight Scepter, 18, level 63 Soul King.

Regarding this, Qian Daoliu did not forget to say to Kong Deming, "Brother Kong, many thanks!"

To this, Kong Deming gave a simple, honest smile and said, "Brother Qian, you are too polite. After all, I am also a consecrated elder of the Soul Hall!"

"Besides! If it weren't for the meditation technique you gave me!~"

Before Kong Deming could finish his sentence, Qian Daoliu was shocked to realize that this old fellow had actually broken through as well. "Brother Kong, you have broken through too!"

Hearing this, Kong Deming laughed quite complacently, "I am unworthy, but this old man has already stepped into the ranks of a level 95 Super Douluo!"

"I have officially become the first level 10 Soul Engineer on the Douluo Continent!"

"Hiss!"

The news of Kong Deming becoming a level 10 Soul Engineer truly gave Qian Daoliu a great fright.

At this moment, Qian Daoliu was no longer the ignorant novice he had been when he first arrived on the Douluo Continent ten thousand years later.

He now knew the prerequisite for becoming a level 10 Soul Engineer: a Soul Engineer must possess a cultivation level of at least 95 to step into the realm of a level 10 Soul Engineer.

Once a Soul Engineer stepped into the realm of a level 10 Soul Engineer, it meant that he not only possessed the ability to craft level 10 soul tools but also held the combat power of a Limit Douluo.

"Brother Kong, congratulations!"

Qian Daoliu offered his congratulations to Kong Deming.

Upon hearing this, Kong Deming quickly restrained his smile, bowed solemnly to Qian Daoliu, his expression filled with gratitude.

He confessed that without the help of that god-tier meditation technique, not only would it have been difficult for him to successfully break through to a level 95 Super Douluo, but he would have lacked the confidence to challenge the supreme realm of a level 10 Soul Engineer. He would always keep this kindness in his heart.

Qian Daoliu accepted this readily.

Subsequently, Qian Daoliu also asked Ye Guyi and Kong Deming about the development of the Soul Hall.

Under the protection of the Sun Moon Empire, the Soul Hall had achieved significant development over the past year.

Of course, this was also related to the sudden changes on the Douluo Continent over the past year.

Ever since the continent began to turmoil, The Sun Moon Empire had been in urgent need of spirit masters and soul engineers.

The Soul Hall had penetrated every corner of the Sun Moon Empire, awakening martial spirits for ordinary citizens for free, distributing gold soul coins, and organizing them to defend their homes.

It had become an indispensable force within the Sun Moon Empire.

Qian Daoliu learned much more from everyone, eventually gaining a general understanding of the current situation on the Douluo Continent and the Soul Hall.

However, these were all things he had heard from others; as for what the Douluo Continent had actually become, Qian Daoliu still intended to inspect it personally.

However, this time, Qian Daoliu planned to take the younger generation, including Ye Guyi, Qiangu Zhenyue, and Qiangu Zhenxie, with him.

This was largely due to a remark from Kong Deming: "Brother Qian, I suggest you take these children like Guyi with you this time~! You must raise the cultivation levels of these children!"

"My intuition tells me! The Douluo Continent will only become more and more turbulent in the future!"

Regarding this, Qian Daoliu felt that Kong Deming was finally being reliable for once.

After finishing these matters, Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi were just about to dismiss everyone to discuss the true meaning of life once more.

But who would have thought that Kong Deming would refuse to leave, instead saying to Qian Daoliu, "Brother Qian, please come with me to meet His Majesty! His Majesty, he~"

Before Kong Deming could finish.

Outside the hall, a sharp voice rang out: "His Majesty has arrived!"

Qian Daoliu, Bo Saixi, Kong Deming, and the others exchanged glances upon hearing this.

They all knew that Xu Tianran had brought people over.

Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi were both curious about what had happened to Xu Tianran! This was the perfect opportunity to take a look at his condition.
