TOP 7 Most Melancholy: Wang Dong!

"Your Highness knows Tang San, right?"

Phainon asked.

Qian Renxue frowned. "Of course I know the Child of Destiny mentioned on the Sky Curtain."

"Someone in the group that just passed by was Tang San," Phainon said. "And if I'm not mistaken, another was Xiao Wu."

At those words from Phainon,

Qian Renxue froze.

Did I just let a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast slip past me?

Seeing her expression, Phainon smiled. "Your Highness, neither you nor the senior beside you could beat them. Tang San has a powerful expert with him."

Snake Lance Douluo bristled. I'm a Titled Douluo. How many people could I possibly lose to? Is this brat trying to fool the young mistress?

But Qian Renxue believed Phainon.

She knew he had no reason to lie.

A hidden expert naturally had his pride.

Instead, she asked, "Brother Phainon, aren't you interested in a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?"

Phainon replied mildly:

"I'd rather catch another fish!"

"Or sell another outfit."

For him, fishing and selling clothes were pleasures.

And that old rabbit truly had no use for him.

At his level of strength, he no longer needed Soul Rings.

Qian Renxue was stunned.

She had never imagined he could feel no temptation at all toward a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.

Could he really have no Soul Power whatsoever?

She had always believed that, like her, he used something akin to a Soul Bone to conceal his strength.

Phainon saw her expression and said:

"Your Highness already has a firm hold on the position of heir to the throne. Isn't that enough?"

"But with these revelations from the Sky Curtain, the world is headed for chaos. Your Highness should prepare early."

Tang Hao had dared to reveal his identity openly to kill someone. That showed he no longer intended to hide who he was.

He wanted to seize resources as quickly as possible.

And Tang Hao and the others had sought out Xue Beng for one reason: Poison Douluo.

But what did that have to do with him?

All Phainon felt was that his peaceful life had been disrupted.

He had been perfectly happy selling clothes and fishing every day.

Once fighting broke out for real,

who would buy his clothes?

Surely he wasn't supposed to switch to selling weapons?

Still, as long as that damned Aha didn't expose his identity,

who would ever guess that Phainon, a mere clothes-shop owner content to drift through life, had drawn the gaze of Nanook, the Aeon of Destruction, and the Aeon of Elation?

He didn't even have a Martial Soul!

By the standards of Douluo Continent, he was an ordinary person.

So it was fine if Xue Beng died. Qian Renxue would hold power anyway!

Once she took the throne, he could go right back to taking it easy.

He would sell the clothes he had designed so carefully to the Star Luo Empire and Spirit Hall.

Right, transformed Soul Beasts wore clothes too.

He could sell to the Silver Dragon King and Di Tian!

Later, he could expand to Sun Moon Continent.

Even business in the Divine Realm wasn't out of the question!

He could sell to the God Kings of the Great God Realm as well.

Perfect.

Dugu Bo had returned to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Looking at a strange chrysanthemum before him, he burst out laughing:

"So this is the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum Chrysanthemum Guan has been pining for!"

"Now it's in my hands. I'll have him right where I want him!"

Dugu Yan, too, studied the many Immortal Herbs with curiosity.

"Grandpa, you're the best! Now you can finally get some payback!"

She had never imagined her grandfather's herb garden was one of the so-called Three Great Treasure Troves.

If she could refine even a few of these Immortal Herbs, wouldn't her strength soar?

[This ranking is complete. Reward for Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan: Soul Power increased by 2 levels, one Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, and one Fifty-Thousand-Year Life-Attribute Right Soul Bone!]

Before Dugu Bo could react,

the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum vanished before his eyes, roots, soil, and all.

???

????

Dugu Bo stared blankly.

What was going on?

Only after looking at the Sky Curtain did he understand. He ground his teeth:

"That damned Sky Curtain! It's using the Immortal Herbs from my garden as rewards!"

"How is that fair?"

At Dugu Bo's furious cursing, the mask on the Sky Curtain seemed to grin even wider,

as though it found his predicament amusing.

Dugu Bo was so angry he nearly jumped in place.

If the Sky Curtain hadn't increased his Soul Power and given him rewards, he would have wanted to smash it!

Dugu Yan tried to comfort him.

"Grandpa, there are plenty left. We won't miss one. Let's hurry and gather the Immortal Herbs."

Dugu Bo pulled himself together and nodded.

Meanwhile, Yue Guan felt his Soul Power rise two levels in an instant and stared in surprise.

"So I'm level 97 now?"

He clenched his fist and looked at Ghost Douluo.

"Old Ghost, let me try punching you."

Ghost Douluo was speechless.

"Hurry up and absorb that Soul Bone and the Immortal Herb. I'll guard you."

The two found a hotel along the way, and Yue Guan began absorbing the Sky Curtain's rewards on the spot.

He absorbed the Life Attribute Right Leg Bone together with the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.

When he finished, Yue Guan felt power coursing through his entire body.

Ghost Douluo asked, "What skill did you get?"

"Life Siphon," Yue Guan replied. "When I add this Soul Bone Skill to my attacks, I can absorb other people's Soul Power."

After absorbing the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, Yue Guan's Soul Power rose straight to level 98, and his Martial Soul evolved into the Singular Velvet Sky Emperor!

Ghost Douluo's eyes went wide.

"Three levels in one day?"

Those were three levels for a Super Douluo!

Many Super Douluos might never gain even a single level in their entire lives!

Even someone as composed as Ghost Douluo couldn't help feeling envious.

A Soul Bone, an Immortal Herb, and three Soul Power levels!

Damn that Chrysanthemum Guan!

He was dying of envy!

Chrysanthemum Douluo burst out laughing.

"Old Ghost, you'd better train hard. If your Soul Power can't keep up with mine and we can't use our Martial Soul Fusion Skill, that'll be a joke."

Ghost Douluo retorted,

"What if I make the ranking? I might surpass you with ease."

Chrysanthemum Douluo curled his lip.

"It's enough that I made it. The price of appearing on this ranking is too steep."

The timeline shown by the Sky Curtain was a future that had not yet happened. This time, he would stop the tragedy.

If Ghost Douluo's death and the disastrous failures of those missions were the price of making the ranking, he would rather not be on it.

Chrysanthemum Douluo intended to settle accounts with Tang San.

After all, Tang San was the reason his future had turned out so miserably.

He also needed to visit the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Perhaps an Immortal Herb suited to Old Ghost was waiting there.

After those two examples,

people across the continent were even more eager to see who would appear next.

The first two had both been Titled Douluos, but lower-level Soul Masters hoped they might have a chance too.

Some proud, influential Soul Masters in particular thought: Why couldn't I make the ranking? Chrysanthemum Douluo and Poison Douluo just have seniority on their side!

After all, the Soul Bones, Immortal Herbs, and Soul Power levels had everyone salivating!
