Chapter 18: Wanla's Cultivation Level Exposed!
"Sigh, the mainland is so big, where are we supposed to find it?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo sighed, feeling extremely depressed. Looking at the boundless sky, he felt powerless and exhausted.
All he wanted to do at that moment was find a place to rest, so he decided to fly towards Tiandou City to try his luck there.
As Chrysanthemum Douluo flew, he pondered his plan. He had already searched for the Spirit Hall, but had not found a suitable target.
Nana's brother has only average talent and can at most become a Title Douluo, while Yan Xiaozi's talent is comparable to Xie Yue's. Although he is called a genius, he is still a long way from being the top male on the continent.
Not long after, Chrysanthemum Douluo arrived in Heaven Dou City. At this time, Salas, the Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall branch of the Heaven Dou Empire, was greeting her and respectfully bowed to Chrysanthemum Douluo.
Because Chrysanthemum Douluo is only one step away from becoming a Super Douluo, he holds an extremely high position in the Spirit Hall.
Chrysanthemum Douluo coldly looked at Salas, then ordered him to tell her everything that had happened in the Heaven Dou Empire in recent years. Salas dared not delay and immediately began to give a detailed report on the situation of the Heaven Dou Empire. At the same time, Chrysanthemum Douluo toyed with her own martial soul.
"Yes."
Then Salas began to recount the events in detail. His voice was low and slow, as if every word carried a heavy weight. When he mentioned Yu Tianming, his tone became even more solemn.
"Wait, you're saying that kid broke through to the Soul Master realm at the age of twelve, his first soul ring is close to a thousand years old, his second soul ring is over a thousand years old, and his fourth soul ring is even over ten thousand years old?" Chrysanthemum Douluo asked with wide eyes and an incredulous expression.
"Hiss... Is this a human?" Chrysanthemum Douluo gasped in shock, his heart filled with turmoil.
"Yes...yes," Salas stammered, his face ashen.
"Damn it! Why didn't you report such important news?" Chrysanthemum Douluo was furious, a hint of murderous intent flashing in her eyes. If she hadn't asked, would Salas have intended to keep it a secret forever? Did this man harbor rebellious intentions?
"It's a misunderstanding, Your Majesty! Please hear me! Four years ago, I already reported this matter to His Holiness the Pope. I thought His Holiness already knew, so I didn't report it again." Salas panicked and knelt down with a thud, pleading for an explanation.
"Four years ago? Impossible! Who exactly did you report to?" Chrysanthemum Douluo frowned, his tone icy as he questioned.
Chrysanthemum Douluo did not recall receiving a message from Salas four years ago.
"This...this...I reported to that young lady," Salas stammered, glancing towards the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace.
The Spirit Hall is divided into the Pope's Hall and the Offering Hall. The Offering Hall is managed by the Thousand Families, and under normal circumstances, the two halls do not interfere with each other.
As Chrysanthemum Douluo is a member of the Papal Palace, Platinum Bishop Salas should also be under the Papal Palace's command.
However, four years ago, instead of reporting to the Papal Palace, he leaked the information to Qian Renxue. This action aroused Ju Douluo's suspicion, who believed that he might have ulterior motives.
Chrysanthemum Douluo's gaze sharpened as he looked at Salas, secretly wondering to himself: Is this guy a fence-sitter?
"If there's a next time, hmph!" Suddenly, a petal brushed past Salas's ear, and a few strands of white hair fell down. Salas was so frightened that he froze, too afraid to move.
Chrysanthemum Douluo decided to go to Moon Pavilion in person, disguise himself as a noblewoman, and blend in to observe this genius more closely.
Chrysanthemum Douluo was filled with doubt, wondering why Her Holiness the Pope would seek out such a peerless handsome young man. Was it because she felt lonely? Or was there another reason?
"Xiao Tianming is here!" A voice came from afar, breaking the noise of the crowd.
"Wow, he's so handsome!" a woman exclaimed.
"Hmph, what's the use of being handsome? He's still just a brooding mountaineer," another man said disdainfully.
Upon hearing this, the surrounding ladies burst into laughter.
However, at that moment, Chrysanthemum Douluo in the crowd noticed something amiss.
"Hmm? Something's not right. His cultivation level... Soul... Soul King?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo stood in the crowd, his expression grave. He realized the situation was somewhat troublesome; he was puzzled that this young lady hadn't relayed the message back to the Papal Palace.
"A twelve-year-old Soul King, truly terrifying," Chrysanthemum Douluo muttered to himself.
He carefully observed the fluctuations in Xiao Tianming's aura and quickly discovered something amiss.
It turned out that Yu Tianming was wearing a soul tool that could conceal his cultivation level, and this soul tool was somewhat similar to the one that the young lady possessed.
Chrysanthemum Douluo sighed inwardly, "It seems that this soul tool was also given to him by that young lady."
Now, Chrysanthemum Douluo is in a dilemma. On one hand, he has to complete the task assigned to him by His Holiness the Pope; on the other hand, that young lady seems to want to possess Xiao Tianming all to herself.
Ju Douluo scratched his hair in frustration, inwardly cursing, "What am I going to do?"
........................
Inside the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace, a tranquil and solemn atmosphere permeated the magnificent palace.
Qian Renxue reverted to her true form, sitting quietly in front of the dressing table, her eyes glazed over.
The woman in the mirror possessed a breathtaking beauty, an elegance and aloofness intertwined, radiating an aura of noble majesty. Her alabaster-white skin, straight and refined nose, and slightly narrowed, sharp phoenix eyes combined to create an exquisitely beautiful face. Although she bore a resemblance to Bibi Dong in appearance, her figure was slightly less impressive (compared to Bibi Dong). Nevertheless, even so, among her peers, her figure remained unparalleled.
Yu Tianming had always held a unique view of Qian Renxue. He felt that Qian Renxue seemed to have some problems with her mind, or more accurately, she was mentally challenged.
Qian Renxue's talent is second only to Yu Tianming. With innate soul power of level 20 and a god-level martial soul, she far surpasses Tang San in talent.
This does not mean that having twin martial souls is necessarily incredibly powerful, because the quality of the martial soul is the key.
Yu Xiaogang once famously said, "There are no useless martial spirits, only useless soul masters." This statement isn't entirely without merit, even though Yu Xiaogang himself was a complete waste.
Let's take a real-world example: imagine a life-or-death battle between Tang Chen (level 99) and Tang San (level 99). If Tang San doesn't use any special abilities, he will inevitably be the one to die. This is because Tang Chen, as a Title Douluo, possesses combat experience and strength far surpassing Tang San's. Therefore, in this life-or-death contest, Tang San would have virtually no chance of winning.
Even if Tang San were placed in the world of martial arts, he wouldn't even rank among the top.
In the original novel, Qian Renxue clearly had the opportunity to kill Tang San, but she deliberately refused to do so.
Instead, she wanted to conquer Tang San, because Tang San was the only man Qian Renxue didn't dislike besides her grandfather. This behavior can be described in two words: "abstract"!
So what exactly is Tang San's identity? He is a person with a blood feud with the Spirit Hall, a mortal enemy whose relationship is irreconcilable. Moreover, Tang San possesses twin spirits and is the inheritor of a god. Qian Renxue had the opportunity to kill such a person but didn't, ultimately contributing to the Spirit Hall's downfall; she bears an undeniable responsibility for this.
Another brainless character is Bibi Dong, but she's far more capable than Qian Renxue. At least under her leadership, the Spirit Hall almost unified the continent, and a new era was on the verge of dawning. It's just a pity she encountered the protagonist, who's practically a cheat code. Qian Xunji, though a piece of trash, seems to have no choice but to be a beast from his perspective.
After all, Bibi Dong had already decided to elope with Yu Xiaogang! Just think about it, a proud disciple who had been painstakingly trained for more than ten years, who was originally the future heir of the Spirit Hall, suddenly abandoned the teacher who had raised her and even the home where she had lived for more than ten years because of her lover. Anyone would probably find it hard to accept such a thing!
As the saying goes, cause and effect are intertwined. If Bibi Dong had even a modicum of sense, she shouldn't have allowed Qian Renxue to be born. And look at what Yu Xiaogang did later—he actually took Tang San as his disciple. Didn't he know Tang San's true identity? In truth, he knew very well that Tang San was born with dual martial souls, was the son of the Clear Sky Douluo, and had a blood feud with the Spirit Hall. But so what?
He just wanted to prove himself, and he didn't care even if Tang San sought revenge on Bibi Dong in the future.
Bibi Dong was even more foolish. Everything she had was destroyed by Yu Xiaogang, yet even so, she still deeply loved Yu Xiaogang until her death. She was simply out of her mind.
Alas, this world is terminally ill. It seems that I, Yu Aman, really need to save the world and these poor aunties and sisters!
