"Hey, look! Xiao Yan was abandoned by his fiancée because of his useless Martial Soul, yet he declared, 'Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river—never mock a poor young man!'
He unexpectedly became the disciple of the soul of a demigod-level powerhouse, and his Martial Soul underwent its second awakening into the Flame Emperor.
He hunted strange flame soul beasts, obtained mutated Soul Rings, and set out for the Douluo Continent!" a bookstore owner on the street shouted.
"Hey, did you hear? Great Soul Master Xiao Yan furiously beheaded the captain of a Soul Elder hunting party and rescued Little Doctor Fairy! What a wrathful charge for a beauty!"
Two burly men on the street were arguing heatedly. Behind them, the captain of their soul-hunting party watched the pair with ill intent.
"Ah, what a pity. When will some domineering Title Douluo fall in love with me?" Noble young ladies murmured in their chambers as they looked at the copies of A Domineering Title Douluo Falls in Love with Me in their hands. The cover prominently featured Dugu Bo after his "cosmetic surgery."
A group of children were passionately debating by the roadside.
"Rock Lee's Body Martial Soul is so powerful! After training so hard, he can knock over so many people!" a somewhat scrawny child cried.
"I think Naruto's cloning soul skill is even stronger! I'll make a hundred clones, and then I can beat up whoever I want!" another child argued.
"I think Sasuke's Sharingan Martial Soul is stronger! Whoever has powerful soul skills, I'll copy them! Then I'll have all of their soul skills!" Yet another child shouted.
The children beside him stared at him maliciously. Then they raised their fists and began punching him, shouting as they did, "I'll let you copy my soul skills! I'll let you copy my soul skills! ..."
"Hey, did you hear? An insider exposed the top-secret past of Qian Daoliu, chief Attendant of Martial Soul Hall; Bo Saixi, chief Attendant of Sea God Island; and Tang Chen, the first sect master of the Clear Sky Sect.
The secret history of those three peerless Douluo was written into the book The Girls We Chased in Those Years. The contents are absolutely explosive!" Some high-ranking Soul Masters from various sects whispered among themselves.
With Dugu Bo's help, Bai Xiao had recruited a large batch of utility-type Soul Masters within the human empires. Together with the tens of thousands of low-level Soul Masters he had recruited, having them take part in infrastructure construction was undoubtedly extremely useful.
Bai Xiao launched the first three-year plan on the Douluo Continent, beginning his invasion of the continent through culture.
After all, the simple folk of the Douluo Continent had lives of extreme spiritual emptiness. Other than soul battles and palace intrigues, there was not much else to do.
By copying texts and wildly adapting them, Bai Xiao produced a huge amount of high-quality spiritual nourishment, which was warmly welcomed by readers.
Using advanced papermaking techniques, he produced vast quantities of books. Bai Xiao also established newspapers, using his bird soul beast underlings to transport and distribute them, like the seagulls in One Piece. In less than a year, Bai Xiao had conquered the cultural sphere of the Douluo Continent.
Other people took years to write one book, while Bai Xiao's side produced nearly one a day—and they were all high-quality, satisfying novels. Who could possibly withstand that?
Bai Xiao said that using his Cell Martial Soul to create high-yield wheat and rice was so easy!
Just like that, food production in the Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire doubled. The emperors of both nations announced that they would grant Bai Xiao noble titles in thanks.
But Bai Xiao, who treated Sunset Forest as his backyard, said he did not care. He was already considering attacking the Soul Dou Great Forest.
Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan had also been startled by the immense reserve of knowledge in Bai Xiao's mind.
Dugu Yan, meanwhile, said with a lovestruck expression, "This is my husband, this is my husband..."
Dugu Bo said that after his transformation, his heart had become many times stronger and could handle it.
The Xinghe Group Bai Xiao had created was now a leading enterprise on the Douluo Continent.
The name "Xinghe" had become known to every household, while Bai Xiao's books had gained widespread recognition among different groups of people.
Low-level Soul Masters, for instance, basically all owned a copy of Soul Shattering the Firmament.
Many noble young ladies owned female-audience trending novels such as Dream of the Red Chamber and Title Douluo Falls in Love with Me.
High-level Soul Masters preferred demonized versions of Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Water Margin...
Children whose Martial Souls had not yet awakened often listened to demonized versions of Journey to the West and Xinghe Fairy Tales...
Bai Xiao had once heard that internal personnel from Martial Soul Hall had seen a copy of The Girls We Chased in Those Years on the chief Attendant's desk.
For some reason, nearly everyone in Martial Soul Hall, along with the upper echelons of the Upper Three Sects, rushed to buy that book. Bai Xiao made a fortune from it as well.
Over these three years, Bai Xiao had transformed the Douluo Continent quite well. Now, he could finally carry out the next stage of his plan without worry.
Shrek Academy!
Naturally, Bai Xiao's current status was no longer something that small academy could compare with, yet he still insisted on going.
Because of this world's original "fate"!
