Radiant City in the Sun Moon Empire.
Hoo, finally... finally broken through this damned bottleneck!
Inside the dim training room, Xia Yu opened his eyes and let out a sigh of relief as though a heavy burden had been lifted.
Immediately afterward, a terrifying soul power pressure poured outward and shook the surroundings.
Level 90!
This was a rank that would shock all soul masters, and Xia Yu's soul power aura had now reached the ninetieth rank.
It was worth consuming all those resources. Now I have finally advanced to the level of a quasi-titled douluo, but compared to all that, the fact that I am a transmigrator is even more unbelievable.
Breaking through his soul power rank coupled with the awakening of his past-life memories filled Xia Yu's heart with deep emotion.
He never expected that he would turn out to be a transmigrator, and an infant transmigrator at that.
Twenty-six years ago, he crossed over into the Douluo World and became a direct descendant of a noble family in the Sun Moon Empire.
One could say he was born in a high position, free from worries about food and clothing, lacking nothing.
At the age of six, he even awakened the Ghost and Velvet Sky-Piercing Chrysanthemum twin martial souls with innate full soul power.
He was accepted as a personal disciple by Kong Deming, the number one soul engineer of the Sun Moon Empire, and under his guidance, he first cultivated his body martial soul Ghost, which was better suited to the soul engineer system.
After twenty years of single-minded cultivation driven by countless resources, he raised his cultivation to the ninetieth rank at the age of twenty-six.
This could completely be called peerless talent.
Now that he had also awakened his past-life memories, it was like adding wings to a tiger, and Xia Yu was destined to soar straight into the sky.
There should still be more than three months left before the start of the Radiant City Tournament in the Sun Moon Empire. Although it is a bit late, fortunately there are still some fortuitous encounters that can be plotted for.
At the thought of those fortuitous encounters that could alter one's destiny against the heavens, Xia Yu could not help feeling restless inside.
He had already reached the critical node of a titled douluo, and was now fully capable of adding soul rings for his twin martial souls.
As long as he could attach a soul ring to his second martial soul, the Velvet Sky-Piercing Chrysanthemum, his strength would surely skyrocket and soar into the sky.
If he added those powerful opportunities that he could plot and intercept—such as the Gold of Life and the Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Marrow—wouldn't he become even more unstoppable?
Without the slightest hesitation, Xia Yu stood up immediately.
He was going to find his teacher, Kong Deming, to sort out the ninth soul ring for his Ghost martial soul as soon as possible.
This way, he would be ready to unfold his subsequent plots and achieve a leap in strength.
However, before Xia Yu could even go look for his teacher Kong Deming, the old man came to visit him in person.
"Good, good! A twenty-six-year-old titled douluo—truly worthy of being my disciple, you have the bearing of an ultimate douluo."
As soon as they met, Kong Deming patted Xia Yu's shoulder with unusual excitement and praised him.
Yet what he said nearly made Xia Yu lose his composure.
These words were simply bad luck; the last person who said my son has the bearing of an emperor ended up having his whole family wiped out.
Xia Yu had no desire to fall into such a terrifying and desperate situation.
He hadn't enjoyed enough yet.
"Teacher, you exaggerate. Not every set of twin martial souls can reach the realm of an ultimate douluo."
Xia Yu chuckled awkwardly, stopping Kong Deming from continuing his praise, and changed the subject.
"That's right, Teacher, why did you come? I was just about to look for you."
"Bah! You were in seclusion to break through, how could I, your teacher, not pay attention? Look, the moment I sensed you came out of seclusion, I came right over."
Facing Xia Yu's inquiry, Kong Deming casually waved his hand and replied.
Although his words were casual, they revealed his deep care and affection for Xia Yu as his disciple.
"Come, this time your teacher has prepared a gift for you, and I guarantee it will satisfy you."
Without waiting for Xia Yu to reply, Kong Deming pulled him toward a grand hall.
"Is this the God-Sealing Platform? Teacher, don't tell me you prepared the soul beast for my ninth soul ring hunt long in advance."
As soon as they stepped into the hall, Xia Yu's attention was caught by a white tray held by a guard.
Looking at the tray inlaid with numerous gemstones, he quickly found its existence in his memory—it was indeed the Ninth-Level Soul Tool, the God-Sealing Platform.
Speaking of this God-Sealing Platform, the first thing Xia Yu thought of was the one that sealed the Snow Empress's embryo.
But unfortunately, by this current time period, the Snow Empress should have already become Huo Yuhao's soul spirit.
If he wanted to snatch it, the difficulty would be immense, and there was probably little to no possibility left.
"What, aren't you going to see what kind of soul beast I prepared for you?"
Seeing Xia Yu standing there dazed while staring at the God-Sealing Platform, Kong Deming could not help smiling slightly.
"I believe Teacher wouldn't cheat me, so looking or not looking is the same."
Hearing this, Xia Yu came back to his senses, his expression turning slightly solemn as he bowed slightly to Kong Deming.
"No matter what, though, I still want to thank Teacher for your support and help."
"You child..."
Kong Deming looked at Xia Yu warmly, his gaze filled with immense gratification.
This was the disciple he personally taught, his successor, and he would also be the future helmsman of the Sun Moon Empire's Consecration Hall.
Yes, Kong Deming had long since planned out a developmental path for Xia Yu.
After becoming a titled douluo and a rank-9 soul engineer, Xia Yu would join the Consecration Hall under his recommendation.
Afterward, he would also clear away all obstacles for Xia Yu to govern the Sun Moon Empire's Consecration Hall.
One could say that for his personal disciple Xia Yu, Kong Deming had racked his brains and done everything he possibly could.
He could completely be called Xia Yu's benefactor and teacher.
"Come, take a look at the one-hundred-and-fifty-thousand-year soul beast I prepared for you, the Six-Tailed Demon Fox. Are you satisfied?"
After feeling emotional for a brief moment, Kong Deming calmed his emotions and brought the God-Sealing Platform over, handing it to Xia Yu.
"A hundred-and-fifty-thousand-year mental-attribute soul beast, the Six-Tailed Demon Fox. It is indeed very suitable for my Ghost martial soul, thank you Teacher."
Although the body martial soul Ghost also possessed the power of death, Xia Yu cultivated more toward the mental aspect, which was more favorable for him to manufacture and control soul tools.
Therefore, the mental-attribute soul beast Six-Tailed Demon Fox was undoubtedly very suitable for him.
As long as he could obtain the soul ring of the Six-Tailed Demon Fox, his strength would definitely rise to another level.
Without hesitation, Xia Yu directly took the God-Sealing Platform from his teacher Kong Deming.
However, just as he prepared to head to the training room to absorb the soul ring, Kong Deming stopped him.
"Teacher, what is this?" Xia Yu looked at Kong Deming beside him in puzzlement.
"Little Yu, today Teacher came here not only to send you this God-Sealing Platform, but there is also one more matter to discuss with you."
Kong Deming beckoned to a guard standing nearby, signaling him to hand the gift box he was holding over to Xia Yu.
"Open it and take a look, make sure you don't get startled!"
Who knew what was packed inside this gift box to make Kong Deming so enthusiastic.
Seeing this, Xia Yu's interest was also piqued, so he simply reached out and took the gift box.
Snap!
As the gift box opened, what came into Xia Yu's view was an exquisitely and elegantly crafted gold-red marriage agreement.
"This marriage agreement—could it be mine?"
Looking at the gold-red marriage agreement, Xia Yu was somewhat at a loss for a moment.
However, he quickly reacted, and a guess suddenly surfaced in his mind.
Without his knowledge, his teacher had probably arranged a marriage for him, hadn't he?
"That's right, this marriage agreement is indeed yours!"
"After discussion between myself and Jing Hongchen, the head of Virtue Hall, we decided to arrange a marriage between you and that little girl Meng Hongchen. What do you think, are you satisfied?"
