On Why Agility-Attack Soul Masters Are the Most Imprisoned of Douluo Continent's Nine Great Sects

News of Qi Ji's departure from the pass spread quickly.

Less than half a day after he posted the message, the not-so-large apartment was packed with people again.

Tang Wuling was the first to rush in. Before the door was even fully open, her voice already rang out—"Qi Ji!"

Gu Yuena followed closely behind, Xu Xiaoyan sat obediently next to Qi Ji, while Xie Xie stood against the wall with a complex expression of both anticipation and trepidation on his face.

For a moment, the living room was as lively as if it were Chinese New Year.

"Sigh... I can't catch up with Qi Ji no matter how hard I try!"

Tang Wuling plopped down on the sofa, propped her chin on her hand, and spoke with a tone that was three parts sentimentality and seven parts teasing.

She has worked incredibly hard in her training over the past two and a half years, spending every day either at the training ground or on her way there. Yet, even so, she still hasn't caught up with Qi Ji.

Don't you know what level you are now?

Qi Ji reached out and poked Tang Wuling's forehead with his finger.

"You don't need to be held back by your Ultimate Attribute. It won't be long before your level surpasses mine! Stop complaining about how you've gained an advantage."

"Hey-hey..."

Tang Wuling covered her forehead, chuckled twice, and didn't refute.

She knew that Qi Ji was telling the truth—her cultivation speed had not slowed down because of the Ultimate Strength; on the contrary, Qi Ji, as Ultimate Attribute Soul Master, would experience a very slow cultivation speed in his Soul Power cultivation between levels 30 and 70.

At this rate, catching up with Qi Ji is only a matter of time, so she has nothing to complain about.

Congratulations!

Gu Yuena stood to the side, her tone calm yet filled with sincere congratulations.

She paused, then asked casually, "By the way, you said you're going to a secret realm related to the Dragon Clan soon, right?"

She asked casually, but her mind was frantically searching through her memories.

To be honest, there really isn't any secret realm on the Douluo Continent that she doesn't know about—after all, as the Silver Dragon King, her understanding of this continent is far deeper than that of any human.

But she couldn't immediately recall which "secret realm related to the Dragon Clan" Qi Ji had mentioned.

This piqued her curiosity. What kind of the Dragon Clan realm could it be that even she, the Silver Dragon King, had no recollection of?

Could it be some hidden place that wasn't even recorded in her memory?

"That secret realm is controlled by the Tang Sect."

Qi Ji glanced at Gu Yuena, a hint of helplessness in his voice. "I reckon that Na'er you and Wuling are both from the Spirit Pagoda, you probably can't enter openly. But I expect to be inside for quite some time, so I'll call you then."

He phrased it very subtly, but the subtext was clear: although you can't go openly like I can, you can go secretly.

After all, Gu Yuena in the original work never went in openly, yet she still came and went freely, didn't she?

However, the Dragon Tomb is essentially the territory of the Dragon Clan. For these Dragon God Crown Prince, the Silver Dragon King, and the Golden Dragon King, what rules do they need to follow when returning to their own home?

It can only be said that the Tang Sect's occupation of the Dragon Clan's sacred land for so long has already led them to their doom!

"Qi Ji... Congratulations on emerging from seclusion! You've become stronger and stronger!"

Xu Xiaoyan hugged her evolved Star Staff, looked up at Qi Ji, her eyes still filled with the same little fangirl look, as if she was already satisfied just to follow behind Qi Ji.

Her voice was soft, carrying a heartfelt joy.

But in fact, over the past few years, except for the final step, Qi Ji has basically finished developing Xu Xiaoyan.

Compared to the always confrontational relationship between Tang Wuling and Gu Yuena, Xu Xiaoyan's interactions were much quieter and more profound.

She was well-behaved, obedient, and sensible; she never argued or fought for anything, and her trust in Qi Ji was almost unconditional.

She didn't need any promises or titles; just being able to stay by Qi Ji's side was enough.

In the past few years, she has actually spent the most time with Qi Ji in private.

"No matter how strong I become, I still can't do without your control."

Qi Ji reached out and patted Xu Xiaoyan's head. His movements were natural and practiced, just like a scumbag comforting his harem.

But his words weren't entirely empty flattery—it's best to use the mechanics to your advantage, since you can never have too many mechanics.

Moreover, Xu Xiaoyan, this petite and delicate blue-haired little girl, does indeed quite fit Qi Ji's aesthetic preferences.

Most Soul Master in the Douluo Continent are over 1.8 meters tall, which is really too tall. Tang Wuling and Gu Yuena are already approaching 1.8 meters, completely lacking the petite and cute girlish charm of Xu Xiaoyan.

The little guy, just over 1.5 meters tall, fits perfectly in Qi Ji's arms. Sometimes, Qi Ji couldn't help but think that this was the ideal child he wanted to raise.

"Boss... am I really that useless...?"

In the corner, Xie Xie lowered his head, his voice muffled, as if squeezed out from between his teeth.

He sensed the overflowing talent and potential of the people around him, and then looked at himself—he was clearly favored by Qi Ji just like Xu Xiaoyan, but Xu Xiaoyan already had the reputation of being the "strongest controller under the starry sky," while he was just a lowly agility-based attacker on the sidelines, and hadn't even seen a glimpse of his Martial Soul Second Awakening.

This sense of loss felt like a heavy stone pressing on his chest, making it hard for him to breathe.

He wasn't afraid of hardship or fatigue; what he feared was failing Qi Ji's expectations.

"Rome wasn't built in a day, and the cicadas' chirping for a summer is the culmination of seven years of hibernation underground."

Qi Ji turned around and looked at Xie Xie, his tone becoming more serious. His golden dragon eyes held a reassuring certainty. "Xie Xie, even if you don't believe in yourself, don't doubt my judgment. You will definitely wait until that day."

Qi Ji continued to encourage and comfort Xie Xie confusion.

He also understood Xie Xie's pressure—after all, any one of these people was exceptionally talented. Tang Wuling and Gu Yuena aside, Xu Xiaoyan had also undergone a qualitative change in her Martial Soul soul, and Wu Changkong had soared from Soul Emperor to Soul Douluo. Xie Xie surrounded by geniuses of this caliber, so it was normal for him to feel self-doubt.

Qi Ji neither urged him nor blamed him; he simply waited with extreme patience—waiting for the opportunity that belonged to Xie Xie to arrive.

Who can blame them Douluo Continent is so difficult to master?

Their attack power is inferior to that of Power Attack System Soul Master, their escape ability is inferior to that of a pure speed-type Soul Master, and their stealth is basically useless in arena battles.

You could even say that if you feel useless, you can think of the agility-based Soul Master in the Douluo Continent.

Zhu Zhuqing from Douluo I was essentially the fusion material for the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Hell White Tiger. Her greatest role was to merge with Dai Mubai on the battlefield and transform into the Hell White Tiger.

Jiang Nannan in the Douluo II of the series becomes invisible in the later stages, achieving the feat of "rolling logs," and her only purpose in existence is to satisfy the perverse pleasure of adding three spoonfuls of sugar.

Xie Xie from Douluo Dalu III: The Legend of the Dragon King is already considered the most promising agility-based attacker in the entire series—at least the Space-Time Sacred Dragon direction seems much better than fusion materials and The Log.

Being able to become the Dragon God's shadow guard is enough to prove the potential of this Martial Soul, not to mention that when it comes to time and space, there is no weak one.

Qi Ji believed that Xie Xie only needed time and a suitable opportunity—and the Dragon Tomb might just be that opportunity.
