"Pfft!"

A light, pleasant chuckle came from nearby.

The laughter was soft, like a feather brushing against a wind chime.

It carried a touch of languid gentleness.

Snake Spear Douluo had been thoroughly engrossed in watching the sky curtain, but the laugh startled him.

Instinctively, he raised his elbow and jabbed Porcupinefish Douluo in the stomach beside him.

He warned him through voice transmission, "What are you laughing at? The Young Master is sitting right in front of us."

"You've been a Titled Douluo for so many years already. How can you still be this thoughtless?"

"Can't you be as mature and steady as I am?"

Porcupinefish Douluo, who had taken an elbow to the gut, looked utterly baffled.

"I wasn't laughing. Weren't you the one who laughed? And now you're blaming me?"

"Utter nonsense. I've been holding it in this whole time. If it wasn't you and it wasn't me, then who could it have been...?"

Snake Spear Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo, who had been bickering moments ago, suddenly fell silent.

Then they looked toward where Qian Renxue was seated.

She had slightly turned her head, her delicate, boneless hand lightly covering the corner of her lips as several strands of hair fell along her smooth cheek.

Clearly, Tang Chuan's utterly nonsensical answer, one whose train of thought was completely impossible to understand, had amused her.

Snake Spear Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo exchanged a glance.

Both were somewhat surprised.

Ever since Qian Renxue had become active in the Heaven Dou Empire under the identity of Xue Qinghe,

they had not seen her this happy in a long time.

Although they were merely guardians Qian Daoliu had arranged to stay by Qian Renxue's side,

after spending so much time together,

the two had long since come to treat her as their own granddaughter.

Thus, seeing Qian Renxue so relaxed and at ease,

the two Titled Douluo felt deeply gratified as well.

However, Qian Renxue quickly remembered that there were other people in the room.

So she immediately returned to her usual cool and aloof appearance.

[Several more leisurely days passed.] [During this time,] [Tang Chuan gradually came to understand that the contents of his dreams were actually memories from his previous life.] [If nothing unexpected happened, it seemed that he had transmigrated into a novel he had once read, Douluo Continent by Salt Plus Six Spoons.] ["It's just..."] ["This plot seems a little different from what I remember."] [Original plot: Ah Yin sacrificed herself, Tang Hao protected the path, I died, and Tang San from another world possessed my corpse...] [This world's plot: Ah Yin and Tang Hao were suspected to have died, the hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor protected the path, and I survived...] [Wait, where did that otherworldly Tang San's soul go?] [It couldn't have just vanished, could it?!] [No, thinking too much is making my brain grow.] [Suddenly.] [The sound of a door opening came from the direction of the wooden cabin.] [Tang Chuan turned around to look.] [Lan Yin emerged from the door looking refreshed, the aura around her far more surging than it had been two days ago.] ["Huh, you broke through to a hundred and forty thousand years?"] [Lan Yin paused, her face full of astonishment.] ["Xiaochuan, how did you know my true cultivation?"] [She remembered that she had never revealed anything about her cultivation to Tang Chuan.] [Tang Chuan pondered for a moment before explaining, "You can think of it as my innate talent. Since I was born, I've been able to see everyone's martial souls, soul power levels, and the effects of their soul skills. I can even see the different soul skills a soul beast can grant to different martial souls."] ["It's just that I couldn't read before, so I didn't understand what those words meant. But now, I can understand them."] ["Let me give you an example."] [Tang Chuan pointed at the plants growing nearby.] ["This is a twenty-year Blue Silver Grass."] ["If I absorb its soul ring, I can obtain the soul skill Entanglement."] ["It can control the Blue Silver Grass within a ten-meter radius to bind enemies. The more the enemy struggles, the tighter it wraps around them, though it also consumes more soul power."] ["This is a fifty-year vine."] ["If I absorb its soul ring, I can obtain the soul skill Powerful Whip."] ["It consumes a portion of soul power to strengthen the next attack, with a range of roughly thirty meters."] ["This is a ten-year Lonely Bamboo. Its characteristic is toughness."] ["If I absorb its soul ring, I can obtain the soul skill Blue Silver Pole Vault."] ["The Blue Silver Grass will transform into a bamboo pole, allowing me to instantly dash fifty meters. It can catch others off guard, and it can also be used to escape certain death."] ["Most importantly, twin martial souls can absorb eighteen Lonely Bamboo soul rings and obtain Blue Silver Eighteenfold Pole Vault, ascending to the God Realm in one go."] ["And then there's you, little sis."] ["A hundred-thousand-year soul ring. One is a control-type soul skill, and the other is a healing-type soul skill."] ["It can also produce a hundred-thousand-year left leg bone..."] [Lan Yin stared at Tang Chuan in stunned disbelief, even her breathing becoming rapid.] [The full curves that obscured her view of her own toes rose and fell continuously.] [The next second.] [She immediately appeared before Tang Chuan, staring at him with an extremely serious expression.] ["Xiaochuan, you must remember this."] ["If you cannot ensure that you are in an absolutely safe environment in the future,"] ["then never reveal your ability to anyone."] ["Not even companions or family members you have spent decades with."] [In just a few words,] [Lan Yin had already deeply understood how terrifying this ability was.] [She could even guarantee that Tang Chuan's very existence was an invaluable treasure to all soul masters.] [At the same time,] [he could also bring about a fatal calamity.]

White World.

The Spirit Hall Arena was eerily quiet at that moment.

Nearly everyone had their eyes wide open, their pupils filled with shock.

Their gazes had scarcely left Tang Chuan for even a moment.

Everyone present was a soul master.

Naturally, they knew just how terrifying the value of Tang Chuan's ability was.

What did soul masters fear most when absorbing soul rings?

Wasn't it worrying whether a soul ring would exceed their endurance limit?

That they would obtain an unwanted or incompatible soul skill.

After all that hard work, they might even waste a soul ring slot for nothing.

But if Tang Chuan were there,

none of those problems would exist in the future. Every soul ring would be an open-book exam.

At this very moment,

the way everyone looked at Tang Chuan in the sky curtain had changed.

Before, there had been awe, curiosity, affection, jealousy, disdain...

But now,

their eyes were filled with intense madness and excitement. They were utterly enthralled, completely obsessed.

It could be said that

whoever obtained Tang Chuan

could command half of the soul master world.

Bibi Dong's grip around her scepter tightened slightly, her eyes full of fervor and obsession.

She had already resolved that no matter the cost, she had to bring Tang Chuan under her command.

Whether he wanted power and beauties,

wealth and status,

hundred-thousand-year soul rings or hundred-thousand-year soul bones,

or even her own daughter, Qian Renxue...

No, that dead girl was always opposing her.

Perhaps she even intended to compete with her for him.

But as she thought further, she suddenly realized

that Tang Chuan was not from their White World.

Bibi Dong instantly felt as though a basin of cold water had been poured over her, chilling her to the bone.

At the same time, she felt somewhat jealous of the Spirit Hall in the Black World.

Just which bastard had been so lucky? To take Tang Chuan as his disciple?
