From Now On, Call Me the Hell Lord!

"Now, let me see which young lady this potential group member is."

Link once again left his residence at once, quietly making his way toward the potential group member's location indicated by the chat group.

A few minutes later, Link stood outside a small building similar in style to his own residence.

The target was inside.

But it was nighttime now. If he rashly slipped inside and was discovered and mistaken for a lecher, that would be very bad indeed.

"Then let's try the power of the Great Dream Heart Sutra!"

Link's spiritual perception instantly enveloped the building, and his spiritual power sensed two consciousnesses within.

"Dreamweaving!"

It was one of the Great Dream Heart Sutra's secret arts.

Under the effects of the Dreamweaving secret art, the two consciousnesses inside soon fell into a deep sleep. Unless subjected to intense mental stimulation or severe bodily injury, they would not wake easily.

Only after confirming that the people inside were deeply asleep did Link quietly enter the building.

"Heh, sure enough, just as I guessed!"

After he entered, the chat group's notification split into two. In other words, both people in the building were potential group members.

And at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, the only two candidates were Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.

Both were members of the Imperial Fighting Team and were very close in private, so it made sense for them to share a building.

However, they each had their own room.

Link quietly slipped into their rooms, fulfilled the chat group system's face-to-face requirement, then hurried away.

Although Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan were both rare beauties, he would not look at what propriety forbade. He was no lecher, after all. Were it not for the chat group system's requirement, there was no way he would run into young ladies' rooms in the middle of the night.

After leaving the building, Link concealed himself in a tree outside and used another secret art.

Entering the Dream!

The first dream Link entered was Ye Lingling's.

Getting Ye Lingling to agree to join the chat group was even simpler. Link merely said he could resolve the curse of the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul, and she immediately agreed to join.

Dugu Yan was no trouble either.

Resolving the flaw in the Bilin Snake Martial Soul settled it easily!

"Good thing there's no Satan in this world!"

"Otherwise, everyone in this world could become a follower of Satan!"

After bringing Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan into the chat group in succession, Link could not help making those two remarks.

But the next moment, Link could not help swallowing and shuddering.

Satan!

His second martial soul was the Twelve-Winged Fallen Angel!

According to legend, Satan was a fallen angel!

Although there was no conclusive evidence for that claim, myths and legends could not be verified in the first place.

And was there any difference between what Link was doing now and what Satan did?

"Am I going to end up creating a Hell Plane in the Douluo World?"

"That doesn't seem out of the question!"

"Haha, from now on, call me the Hell Lord!"

A crooked grin suddenly spread across Link's face.

After waking Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan, Link quietly returned to his own residence.

It was time to reap his rewards!

Talent sharing!

Cultivation sharing!

Awakening a third martial soul: Nine-Hearted Holy Lotus!

These were the rewards brought by Ye Lingling joining the group.

Dugu Yan's rewards were a little poorer, consisting only of talent sharing and cultivation sharing.

"Strange!"

"Why is there such a difference?"

Link was puzzled. Just what sort of mechanism governed these random rewards for joining the group?

When Qian Renxue joined, Link obtained his second martial soul, the Twelve-Winged Fallen Angel. When Ye Lingling joined, he obtained his third martial soul, the Nine-Hearted Holy Lotus.

Did that mean Ye Lingling's Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul was actually on the same level as Qian Renxue's Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul?

Then why did the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul come with a curse, allowing only two Soul Masters with that martial soul to exist at the same time?

Forget it. If I can't figure it out, I won't think about it!

Link stopped dwelling on it and began cultivating through meditation instead.

Well, the results were remarkable!

Even though the growth of his soul power was blocked by his lack of a second soul ring, Link could still feel it becoming more substantial.

This was the talent of a peerless prodigy!

Then Link practiced the Indestructible Vajra Divine Skill for a while. His cultivation speed for this technique soared once again, and he estimated that it would not take too long to achieve full mastery.

Amazing!

Now this was the treatment a transmigrator ought to get!

Inside the building reserved for Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, both girls had woken up and met.

"The chat group!"

"Right!"

"Sign in first!"

It had to be said that these two girls truly had some luck on their side.

Both received martial soul evolution gift packages as their sign-in rewards, just like Qian Renxue's.

By comparison, Xiao Wu's first sign-in reward seemed to be the worst.

"I wonder what their martial souls have become now!"

Link really was a little curious.

The next day, Link wandered around the academy, hoping to hear some fresh news, but there was nothing.

Left with no other choice, Link simply left Heaven Dou Royal Academy, planning to take a stroll through Heaven Dou City.

As a maid, A Luo did not interfere with any of Link's decisions.

"A Luo, I heard there's a place in the city that specializes in teaching etiquette. I think it's called Moonlight Pavilion. Do you know the way?"

Link looked at A Luo and wrote a line on a sheet of paper.

A Luo immediately nodded and, following Link's wishes, headed straight for Moonlight Pavilion.

When the two drew close to Moonlight Pavilion, the chat group did indeed display a notification about a potential group member.

Had Link come alone, whether he could enter Moonlight Pavilion would have been uncertain. But with A Luo leading the way, holding Crown Prince Xue Qinghe's token, there were naturally no obstacles.

Moonlight Pavilion's steward, Aode, even went personally to inform Tang Yuehua.

Upon hearing that someone from Crown Prince Xue Qinghe had come, Tang Yuehua straightened her clothes and prepared to meet them.

At his very first sight of Tang Yuehua, Link could not help feeling a little stirred.

She truly lived up to being the young lady of the Clear Sky Sect, someone born with the innate noble ring domain. Her looks went without saying; her bearing alone could truly be called unrivaled.

Dignified and elegant, she struck precisely the right balance.

"Miss A Luo, does His Highness the Crown Prince have any instructions?"

Although Tang Yuehua was the young lady of the Clear Sky Sect, a flaw in her martial soul prevented her from becoming a Soul Master, leaving her only an ordinary person. Before the crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, she dared not neglect proper etiquette.

"Greetings, madam!"

A Luo gave a slight bow with impeccable etiquette. "His Highness has no instructions. It is simply that my young master wishes to have a look around Moonlight Pavilion!"

"And this is...?"

Tang Yuehua looked at Link in puzzlement, very curious about just what relationship he had with Xue Qinghe.

A Luo was Xue Qinghe's most valued maid. Having Xue Qinghe assign her to serve at his side was certainly not treatment an ordinary person could receive.

"Madam, my young master is unwell and temporarily unable to speak. He does not mean to be discourteous. Please understand!"

Once again, A Luo answered on Link's behalf.

Link took out paper and a pen and wrote a line: "May I see your martial soul, madam?"
