[Golden Talent-No Such Person]
The golden light dispersed, transforming into several lines of clear writing.
[Draw successful!]
[Gained Golden Talent - No Such Person!]
When you suppress your breathing, your presence naturally diminishes, making you easily overlooked by others.
[Long-distance Spiritual Detection, Divine Sense Detection, Qi Tracking, and Fortune Deduction all failed to pinpoint your location and state.]
[Only by being physically present in the same space, and seeing you face to face, can one truly perceive.]
[The Soul Master you requested does not exist. Please come in person to complete the process.]
Looking at the strange last line of prompts, Gu Mingyuan could only sigh that the system was still quite sensible.
At this critical juncture—when Mingde Hall had just lost the God-Sealing Platform, and even the Sea God of the Divine Realm might have his eye on the changes in the Douluo Continent —this Golden Talent came at the perfect time.
Divine Sense Detection and Fortune Deduction were completely ineffective.
From this day forward, neither the Sun Moon Empire's Level Nine Detection Soul Tool nor a certain God King's trans-dimensional Divine Sense probing will be able to penetrate him.
As long as one doesn't encounter their true form face-to-face, they will no longer be "No Such Person in this world."
As he watched the golden words slowly fade away from the depths of his consciousness, Gu Mingyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, this time what was extracted was a purely passive talent, instead of some unknown remnant soul being stuffed into his brain again.
His Sea of Spirit already houses three beings: Electrolux, Ice Empress, and Snow Empress. If another one were to squeeze in, it would truly become Soul Body containment facility.
Within the Sea of Spirit, Ice Empress was completely unaware of the trump card its host had just acquired.
She was tugging at Snow Empress's sleeve, gesturing enthusiastically:
"Once this kid reaches level 40 or 50, he might be able to summon a new Demon Body. Xue'er, you're used to using this White Demon, so if we can get a tough, Melee Demon Body next, it'll be mine. Then we'll go out together and beat up anyone we don't like."
Snow Empress tilted her head to listen, her usually cold expression softening slightly. She casually remarked, "His worst of the first three rings is an ordinary Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring. He's probably still a long way from the next one."
"Oh dear, how come this kid has such high standards? I should have known better than to give the Soul Ring to that wretched bug Tian Meng in the first place." Ice Empress chimed in matter-of-factly.
Hearing the commotion from the two, Gu Mingyuan pressed his knees, preparing to get up and leave the Half-Plane, when Electrolux suddenly spoke up:
"Mingyuan, be extra careful when you go out next."
Gu Mingyuan paused, then looked at the Gray-Robed Elder and asked, "Elder Yi worried that the fighting outside isn't over yet?"
"Even after the battle is over, it might not be safe outside." Electrolux pointed to the Empty God-Sealing Platform not far away.
"The coordinates for entering and exiting the Gate of the Undead are fixed. When we came in, the Entrance was left in the underground Warehouse of the Mingde Hall. After the previous battle, it is now mostly in ruins."
The old man paused, his tone becoming more serious:
"Moreover, the God-Sealing Platform was lost right under their noses. The people of the Sun Moon Empire suffered such a great loss, how could they easily withdraw? Now, that ruin must be full of search guards and High-Level Soul Engineer. If you open the door now, you will most likely appear before them on the spot."
Gu Mingyuan, who had already propped himself up halfway, silently sat back down on the black frozen ground after hearing these words.
Although the newly acquired talent can block distant detection, it is also clearly stated that one can perceive it normally once they are in the same space and see it face to face.
If he were to simply push open the Gate of the Undead and step directly into the midst of a group of the Mingde Hall guards who were digging deep in the ground searching for something, that would truly be a "face-to-face encounter."
With dozens of Soul Cannon pointed at his forehead, even if he were possessed by White Demon, he would still be severely injured.
Gu Mingyuan raised a hand and rubbed his temples. "I completely forgot about that."
However, his gaze quickly returned to his palm, recalling the first half of the description of his new talent—when concealing his aura, his presence naturally fades, making him easily overlooked by others.
Add to that Electrolux's methods of concealing any signs of life, and the current state of the underground Warehouse —collapsed, chaotic, and filled with smoke and dust...
Gu Mingyuan lowered his hand and said, "However, it's not impossible to give it a try."
Shrek Academy, Sea God Island.
Xuan Zi rushed back with Tang San, not even bothering to re-bandage the bleeding wound on his left arm, and immediately rang the council bell of the Sea God Pavilion upon landing.
Before long, the elders came in one after another to sit down.
As soon as everyone sat down, their gazes invariably fell on the unfamiliar Blue-Haired Boy beside Xuan Zi. The Sea God Pavilion was a sacred place, and even the core disciples of the Inner Court rarely set foot there. It was quite unusual for Xuan Zi to bring back an eight or nine-year-old child without a word.
Qian Duoduo sized the boy up and down a few times, and finally couldn't help but ask:
"Xuan Zi, who is this person beside you?"
Xuan Zi's lips moved, but he avoided his gaze. "Let's talk about the Sun Moon Empire first."
Seeing that he was unwilling to talk about it, Qian Duoduo had no choice but to suppress her curiosity and sit back down, but she was already starting to have doubts.
Last time, Xuan Zi brought Huo Yuhao into the Sea God Pavilion and managed to create a remnant soul of Yu Xiaogang from ten thousand years ago, causing quite a stir throughout the academy. This time, why did he inexplicably bring back another child?
At the head of the long table, Mu En remained silent.
From the moment the Blue-Haired Boy stepped through the gates of the Sea God Pavilion, the Dragon God Douluo opened his slightly closed eyes a crack, his gaze remaining quietly fixed on the boy.
Xuan Zi cleared his throat, pushed a ranking list to the center of the table, and announced the results of the re-selection by the Seven Great Sects:
"The Holy Spirit Cult participated in the election under the name of the Holy Spirit Sect, and after three rounds of competition, it ultimately won Overall Ranking First. The Body Sect ranked second."
Elder Song opened the booklet, glanced at it, and his face immediately darkened:
"The Holy Spirit Cult? The Number One Sect Under Heaven?"
She slammed the ranking list onto the table with a heavy thud.
"These Evil Soul Master have been hiding in the Sun Moon Empire, committing evil deeds in secret for years. Now, they've transformed themselves into a prestigious sect, daring to openly receive the worship of the world!"
The other elders also turned pale, and the atmosphere in the council hall instantly became oppressive.
Without pausing, Xuan Zi continued to recount in detail the events of the Body Sect attack on the core Warehouse District of the Mingde Hall, the theft of the 100,000-Year Embryo, Kong Deming's insistence on Soul Search of everyone present, and the eventual truce and reparations imposed on both sides under the Heavy Cannon Deterrence.
Upon hearing that Kong Deming dared to threaten the indiscriminate bombing of civilians from the Three Kingdoms with Fixed-Installation Soul Cannon, the faces of everyone present turned extremely ugly.
Neither the Sun Moon Empire nor the Douluo Three Kingdoms are currently prepared for war, and the Body Sect has indeed acted rashly this time.
Suppressing his anger, Elder Song turned to look at Xuan Zi's left arm, which was covered in wound medicine, and asked:
"Was this injury inflicted by Zhongli Wu and Feng Ling together?"
