Ye Chen Prepared to Bring Zhu Zhuqing into the Akatsuki Organization, Awakening the Hatred in the Little Cat Girl's Heart (2, Please Bookmark)

"Spirit Hall's Holy Maiden, Hu Liena, and her brother, Xie Yue..."

Ye Chen spoke calmly.

"Both of them have decent talent and strength. At this stage, they are the most suitable candidates."

Ye Chen had just checked the reward he would receive after recruiting his first new member through the system. It turned out that the Hashirama Cells he could obtain were not only for his own use—they could also be propagated through a host and used to cultivate other Soul Masters.

Although Hu Liena and Xie Yue did not seem to become Titled Douluo in the anime, both of them possessed excellent talent at this stage.

As long as Hu Liena and Xie Yue joined the Akatsuki Organization and fused with Hashirama Cells, becoming Titled Douluo in the future should not be a problem.

Hashirama Cells could awaken one's potential and enhance the body's recovery abilities. Combined with Immortal-Grade Herbs, their effects would be even more heaven-defying.

"I don't know either of them, but leave that Spirit Hall Holy Maiden you mentioned to me. I'll be responsible for inviting her into the organization."

Konan looked at Ye Chen seriously, seeming full of confidence.

"Good. Hu Liena is in your hands..."

Although Hu Liena had already obtained Divine Slaughter's Domain, Ye Chen felt that she probably had no means of harming Konan.

And if all else failed, Pain was still there.

As for how to recruit these members, Konan naturally understood even without Ye Chen explaining. It would be just like how the Akatsuki Organization recruited new members in their previous life.

First, defeat the other party, then make them join.

In other words, if Hu Liena and Xie Yue were invited by Pain and Konan, they would have no choice but to join...

After settling the plan with Konan, Ye Chen spent the next few days taking her around all of Vast Sea City. He also brought her to the Great Soul Arena of Vast Sea City.

If they wanted to understand Soul Masters as quickly as possible, that was naturally the most suitable place.

"It seems these Soul Masters' soul skills are equivalent to ninjutsu. Thousand-year soul skills are equivalent to B-rank ninjutsu, while ten-thousand-year soul skills are equivalent to A-rank or S-rank ninjutsu..."

Standing in the lower stands, Konan watched two Sea Soul Masters fight as she voiced her thoughts.

Ye Chen nodded.

"That's right. But Soul Masters' soul skills are restricted by Soul Rings, while you can use far more ninjutsu... So you don't need to tell anyone what your Martial Soul is. All of your ninjutsu can be considered Self-Created Soul Skills here..."

After several days of learning, Konan roughly understood what Soul Rings, soul skills, Soul Power, and Soul Beasts were. She also learned that the most powerful Soul Masters in this world were known as Titled Douluo.

After cultivating Konan into a qualified expert, Ye Chen prepared to leave Vast Sea City to search for Hu Liena and Xie Yue, while also gathering information on the whereabouts of the Shrek Seven Monsters.

Originally, Ye Chen had intended to follow the principle of proximity and first go to Sea God Island to recruit Xiao Bai and the Sea Demoness. But after thinking it over, he felt that it was too dangerous. He could not afford to provoke Bo Saixi yet.

With Bo Saixi's demigod-level strength, and on the sea at that, the Six Paths of Pain would have no chance of winning. They would be drowned directly beneath endless waves, with no possibility of revival.

It was not only Bo Saixi. Even Bibi Dong, or the level 97 Sword Douluo... Ye Chen felt he could not afford to provoke them yet. They were all peak Douluo above level 95. To fight them, the Six Paths of Pain alone would not be enough. His true body would have to appear, and he would need to use the Complete Susanoo to stand a chance.

But against Chrysanthemum Douluo, Snake Lance Douluo, or Pufferfish Douluo... Ye Chen felt that the Six Paths of Pain still had some chance of victory.

At that moment, a carriage slowly left Vast Sea City. Inside sat Ye Chen and Konan.

The Deva Path of Pain was seated outside, acting as the coachman, while Ye Chen had already withdrawn the other five Paths of Pain.

After continuing down the road where he had beaten the Shrek Seven Monsters, Ye Chen soon discovered that it led to the nearest city, Jinshui City.

This city was also located on the border of the Heaven Dou Empire and was not far from Vast Sea City.

"Most of the Shrek Seven Monsters were injured that night, especially Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun... Since they didn't come to Vast Sea City, they must be recuperating here."

With that thought, Ye Chen had the carriage enter Jinshui City and wander through its streets.

"What are we doing here... Are Hu Liena and Xie Yue here?"

Konan asked with some confusion.

A faint smile appeared on Ye Chen's face.

"Hu Liena and Xie Yue aren't here, but the Shrek Seven Monsters are. Among them is a chosen one, someone who will become the greatest obstacle to our plan. So now, we'll slowly torment him until he and his companions wish they were dead..."

"A chosen one... Like Uzumaki Naruto from our previous life?"

Konan looked at Ye Chen's handsome face and long red hair.

Ye Chen shook his head.

"No... His name is Tang San. He is a complete hypocrite."

After saying that, Ye Chen activated his Rinnegan. At that moment, he suddenly spotted a familiar figure not far away.

It was a girl dressed in black leather, with a voluptuous and sexy figure.

"Zhu Zhuqing."

Ye Chen recognized her at once.

At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing seemed to be buying medicinal herbs. With her back to Ye Chen's carriage, she had not noticed the Deva Path of Pain in front of it.

Ye Chen immediately had the carriage stop and called the Deva Path of Pain into the carriage, where they secretly observed Zhu Zhuqing from the side.

When Zhu Zhuqing finished buying the herbs and turned into an alley nearby, a smile had already appeared on Ye Chen's face.

"It seems we aren't in a hurry to find those two members anymore. There is another new member here who is very suitable for joining Akatsuki..."

"...That girl in the black leather outfit?"

Konan's instincts were sharp. At first glance, she noticed the person Ye Chen had been watching.

"Her..."

Ye Chen neither confirmed nor denied it as he said,

"Although this girl appears cold yet gentle and deeply loves her fiancé, Dai Mubai, her fiancé is actually a disgusting scumbag. She has suffered many grievances before, and deep hatred is hidden in her heart. As long as we awaken that hatred, she will become a true catgirl assassin. Then, we'll have her secretly join Akatsuki and become one of us. The other members of the Shrek Seven Monsters will then be... tortured to death by us, step by step."
