Who Doesn't Have a Titled Douluo Around Them?

"Hey, interesting."

Young Master Xu froze slightly when he heard the refusal, but when he came back to his senses, he grinned.

"Not many people in all of Heaven Dou City dare refuse me like that."

"Kid, do you know who I am?"

"What's it got to do with me who you are?"

Ye Ling shrugged indifferently.

In a world like Douluo Continent, where class was so rigidly entrenched, it was easy for these baffling nobles to appear, each one somehow feeling absurdly good about himself.

He had only just slaughtered one in the Star Dou Great Forest not long ago. It had only been a few days, and now he had run into another.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Young Master Xu clapped his hands with a dark expression.

"I was originally thinking of spending money to buy it. Now it looks like I'll have to make you beg to hand it over."

As he spoke, he shot a look at the black-robed old man behind him.

Zhao Xu opened his mouth as if to say something, but when he met Young Master Xu's gloomy gaze, he ultimately shut it again.

"Wait!"

Just as the black-robed old man was about to move, Ye Ling suddenly spoke.

"What? Willing to sell it to me now?"

Young Master Xu said leisurely, his face full of smugness.

After all, this was Heaven Dou City's Grand Auction House. Though the backing behind him was very powerful, if he could avoid causing trouble here, it was best not to.

"No."

Ye Ling shook his head, then asked with a faint, half-smiling expression.

"If Ning Fengzhi or Yu Yuanzhen were here, would you dare forcibly steal their things?"

"You know Sect Master Ning of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Sect Master Yu of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?"

Young Master Xu's expression changed drastically.

Those two were sect masters of the Upper Three Sects. He could not afford to offend either one.

"I don't. I was just curious, so I wanted to ask."

Ye Ling shook his head and said frankly.

Hearing Ye Ling deny it, Young Master Xu finally let out a breath of relief.

"You think you're worthy of being compared to Sect Master Ning and Sect Master Yu?"

Young Master Xu sneered.

"Just for daring to call those two lords by name, even if I beat you to death, you'd only have yourself to blame."

"Just because they are sect masters of the Upper Three Sects, and either they or their sects possess Titled Douluo-level combat power?"

Ye Ling asked with a frown.

For some reason, a faint unease flashed through Young Master Xu's heart.

Could an ordinary person know about the Upper Three Sects?

Could he know that the Upper Three Sects had Titled Douluo?

However, as one of Heaven Dou City's top wastrels, he had never seen Ye Ling in Heaven Dou City before.

So he merely assumed Ye Ling was a Spirit Master from some small place or minor force, and did not take him too seriously.

"That's right. If you were a Titled Douluo, or had a Titled Douluo serving under you, naturally no one would dare show you disrespect."

As Young Master Xu spoke, the unease in his heart grew heavier.

He turned his head to look at the black-robed old man behind him and gave him a slight nod.

"So that's how it is."

Ye Ling said as if suddenly enlightened, as though he had not noticed the exchange between them.

"Douluo Continent really is a world where strength is supreme."

The moment Ye Ling finished speaking, the black-robed old man had already flashed in front of him.

Two yellow, two purple, and three black spirit rings rose beneath the black-robed old man's feet, proving his identity as a Seven-Ringed Soul Sage.

Yet no matter how he urged his Soul Power, his body could no longer move even an inch.

"Uncle Wang, what are you doing? Why aren't you moving?"

Young Master Xu looked at the black-robed old man with furrowed brows and asked in confusion.

"It's not that he doesn't want to move. It's that he can't."

Ye Ling shifted his steps lightly. Silver light flashed beneath his feet, and his whole body had already circled past the black-robed old man, appearing in front of Young Master Xu.

"Tell me, is there any chance I'm someone you can't afford to provoke?"

"Bastards! These two dared cause trouble in the Grand Auction House! What are you standing around for? Take them down!"

A fierce look flashed across Young Master Xu's face as he roared at the Grand Auction House guards who had been alarmed and rushed over earlier.

Most of the Great Soul Arena's guards were five-ringed, while a small portion were Six-Ring Soul Masters.

They hesitated for a moment when they heard him, but then they all charged toward Ye Ling and Kong Deming.

A dozen people, nearly a hundred spirit rings; for a moment, it truly was a rather spectacular sight.

Kong Deming swept his gaze around, then took his first step.

A yellow spirit ring rose from beneath his feet.

Two steps, three steps, four steps... until the ninth step.

Yellow, purple, black, and finally, the last Red Spirit Ring.

The aura belonging to a Titled Douluo swept through the entire Grand Auction House almost in an instant.

Everyone stared blankly at that Red Spirit Ring.

"Ti... Ti... Titled Douluo?"

"And a Titled Douluo with a 100,000-Year Ninth Soul Ring?"

Young Master Xu cried out involuntarily.

"This... Young Master Xu, was it?"

Ye Ling looked calmly at Young Master Xu, who had already petrified before him, and lightly patted his face twice.

"Now, do you have anything else to say?"

Although a 100,000-Year Spirit Ring and a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone were both Divine Items that all Spirit Masters dreamed of obtaining,

over all these years, how many Spirit Masters had possessed a single 100,000-Year Spirit Ring?

Counting them all, there were only Bibi Dong, Tang Hao, and Martial Soul Hall Second Worship Golden Crocodile Douluo.

And even Tang Hao's 100,000-Year Spirit Ring had come from his wife's sacrifice.

Of course, the three Level 99 Limit Douluo were not included, because participating in divine trials would naturally raise the age of one's martial soul.

This proved that Titled Douluo with a 100,000-Year Spirit Ring and those without one were on completely different levels.

"May I ask which esteemed lord has graced my Heaven Dou City Grand Auction House?"

"This old man failed to welcome you properly. Truly discourteous, truly discourteous."

How many people could sense it when a powerhouse with a 100,000-Year Spirit Ring released his aura?

In just a short while, quite a few more figures had appeared in this open space used only to test auction items.

The first to arrive was an old man with a head full of white hair. He looked as though he might be even older than Kong Deming.

Beneath his feet were Eight Soul Rings, two yellow, three purple, and three black. This man was actually a Soul Douluo-level powerhouse.

However, when he saw the ninth Red Spirit Ring beneath Kong Deming's feet, his gaze still contracted slightly.

"I am Xu Yunchang, the person in charge of Heaven Dou City's Grand Auction House. May I ask how Your Excellency should be addressed?"

Xu Yunchang bowed to Kong Deming, his attitude extremely sincere.

"Title: Silver Moon."

Kong Deming said indifferently.

"Was there some failure in our auction house's reception? Why is Silver Moon Douluo so angry?"

Xu Yunchang's tone was neither servile nor overbearing, and his words even took the initiative to put the blame on himself. It could be said that his emotional intelligence was extremely high.

No wonder he had been able to make the Grand Auction House's business so prosperous.

"This is an auction house? I thought I'd walked into a bandit den."

Kong Deming sneered twice, then reached out and pointed at Young Master Xu.

"This person seized this one's auction item and even wanted to attack this one. How should you handle it?"

Xu Yunchang looked at this disappointing nephew of his and only felt his head ache fiercely.

This fellow relied on the fact that his aunt was the current Heaven Dou Great Emperor's Empress and had always been used to throwing his weight around. He had not expected him to kick an iron plate this time.

It was also because his aunt and parents had passed away too early, and Xu Yunchang himself had spoiled him a little too much, that he had developed into such a wastrel!

Offending a Titled Douluo, and damn it, a Titled Douluo with a 100,000-Year Ninth Soul Ring at that!

Their old Xu Family had truly had disaster fall from the sky.

"You beast! You actually dared be rude to His Excellency!"
