I’ve already become a titled Douluo, and only now the system arrives?

Chapter 119: Dai Mubai's Scheme, Zhu Zhuqing's Crisis

"Brother, the Grand Worship is waiting for us to go in."

Jiang Mo poked the absent-minded Qianjun Douluo with his hand.

"I heard. Let's go."

After saying this, Qianjun Douluo headed towards the Angelic Temple without looking back.

Soon, a magnificent golden hall appeared before the two brothers.

In the center of the hall stood a tall statue of a six-winged angel, inspiring awe in those who beheld it.

Below the statue stood a figure dressed in golden robes, Qian Daoliu.

At this moment, Qian Daoliu smiled, "You're back."

"Back."

Qianjun and Jiang Mo echoed in unison.

"When will that Qin Xiao come to our Martial Soul Hall?" Immediately after, Qian Daoliu asked the second question.

"Oh, that."

Upon hearing this, Qianjun Douluo's face showed an unnatural expression.

Seeing this, Qian Daoliu frowned, "What's wrong? Has something unexpected happened? Could it be that Qin Xiao refused?"

At this point, there was no choice but to grit his teeth and nod heavily, "Grand Worship, you're right. Qin Xiao did indeed refuse the conditions you offered."

"Really refused?"

After hearing Qianjun Douluo's words, Qian Daoliu's eyes also flashed with surprise and disbelief.

You see, he had already offered conditions that countless soul masters could only dream of. No. What countless soul masters dreamed of were nothing more than spirit bones and top-grade spirit rings. He had offered conditions that countless soul masters wouldn't even dare to think about. Becoming a god! Qian Daoliu thought to himself, if it weren't for the fact that he was destined to have no hope of becoming a god in his position as the Grand Worship, then becoming a god would also be the goal of his life's struggle.

Jiang Mo quickly agreed, "Although it's absurd, it's true."

"I never expected this, truly didn't expect." Qian Daoliu shook his head in admiration. "Youth is wonderful. Who hasn't been young and frivolous? I just wonder if Qin Xiao will regret today's decision in the future?"

Jiang Mo asserted confidently, "That kid Qin Xiao really doesn't know the heights of heaven and the depth of earth. He's a typical contestant with lofty aspirations but fragile life, he will regret it in the future. He will realize that without the help of our Martial Soul Hall, his abilities will be unable to gather faith."

"As for the future," Qian Daoliu's expression was somewhat absent-minded. In his heart, he silently said, "What will the future be like? No one knows."

"Grand Worship, should we continue to contact Qin Xiao?" Qianjun Douluo asked beside him.

Qian Daoliu waved his hand, "Not for now. Let's closely monitor Qin Xiao's actions and plan before we act."

In reality, he had his pride. Even if Qin Xiao had the potential to become a god, Qian Daoliu wouldn't abandon his dignity and chase after Qin Xiao desperately.

"Grand Worship, there's one more thing."

"What's the matter?"

"Qin Xiao killed Yu Yuanzhen, the patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and many disciples of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."

"Hmm?" Qian Daoliu's face showed a strange expression. "What exactly happened? Tell me in detail."

"Understood."

Qianjun Douluo nodded, then began to recount everything he had seen outside the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

After a long time...

A meaningful smile appeared on Qian Daoliu's face. "I underestimated Qin Xiao's ruthlessness. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. He doesn't hesitate to strike back, showing no mercy. He'll directly cripple you without any reservations."

"Haha, I'm starting to appreciate this kid." He laughed more and more as he spoke.

"Alright, you two can leave for now."

With that, Qian Daoliu signaled for Qianjun and Jiang Mo to leave.

"Yes."

The two of them felt as if they had been granted amnesty. Although they were told to leave, they practically ran out.

In a moment, only Qian Daoliu remained in the hall.

Using his own voice, he murmured, "Interesting young man. Should I find an opportunity to meet him? From now on, I owe you nothing."

In a room, Liu Erlong sat on the edge of the bed, her hair disheveled, leaving Qin Xiao with a smooth, jade-like back.

"Finished eating, and now you're going to leave without even giving me a kiss?"

Qin Xiao lay on the bed, a playful smile on his lips.

"Hmph, what else do you want?" Liu Erlong snorted.

Clearly, she was the one being bullied, but why did Qin Xiao sound like the victim?

Unfair.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

She stood up directly, took out a set of coarse cloth long dress from the spatial soul tool, quickly dressed herself, then left without looking back.

Only a voice echoed in the room:
"I'm going to leave the academy for a while. Don't look for me anymore."

"Hehe, women, they really are complicated."

Qin Xiao could feel that Liu Erlong still had a liking for him, but why did she want to conceal it?

"Anyway, let's not worry about her for now. I'll go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Sect first. Let's see if Ning Fengzhi can gain any benefits from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."

Thinking this, Qin Xiao got off the bed.

"Master, Ah Yin is here to serve you for bathing."

Ah Yin came into the room very tacitly and said softly.

However, she glanced at Qin Xiao and immediately averted her gaze as if she had been shocked.

Really, too shy.

On the other side.

In the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Young Master Dai, my men have already investigated. Those two girls and that short man are hunting soul beasts. It seems they are preparing to help that girl named Zhu Zhuqing absorb soul rings."

A middle-aged man with a mustache said to Dai Mubai.

"Hunting for soul rings!"

Dai Mubai was surprised, "She was only thirty-fifth level before, why is she absorbing soul rings now?"

"Thirty-fifth level?"

The middle-aged man with the mustache was taken aback. "That's not right. My brother 'Shadow' sent back very certain information. That girl named Zhu Zhuqing, the girl in black, has genuine forty-level soul power. He's a Soul Ancestor-level expert, with good eyesight, absolutely not mistaken."

"Then maybe I remembered it wrong."

Dai Mubai said, "If you guys take action now, how confident are you in capturing Zhu Zhuqing for me?"

"Young Master Dai, that girl named Zhu Zhuqing isn't much, but Zhao Wuji, the short man, is closely guarding them. It's difficult to deal with."

The middle-aged man with the mustache frowned and said, "We need more money."

Damn, after all the buildup, this is the main point! Dai Mubai cursed inwardly.

He could see that the man in front of him often raised his price. He was practically asking for more money with every word.

But thinking about the other party's identity, he understood.

With his head resting on his belt, the soul-hunting team that licked blood from the knife's edge, a little darkness was not excessive.

More importantly, besides hiring these desperadoes with money, he didn't know who else could help him.

Phew.

Dai Mubai sighed deeply, "Money is not a problem, name your price."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man with the mustache extended his hand, "Fifty thousand Gold Soul Coins. As long as Young Master Dai is willing to add another fifty thousand Gold Soul Coins, I guarantee that this matter will be handled smoothly."

"Squeak."

Dai Mubai gnashed his teeth, then nodded heavily, "Alright, I agree."

At this point, he had no other choice.

Capturing Zhu Zhuqing had become an obsession in his heart.

As for what to do next.

Definitely make Zhu Zhuqing beg for life and death, otherwise, it wouldn't be enough to eliminate the hatred in his heart.

"Haha, no problem, Young Master Dai, you can rest assured."

The middle-aged man with the mustache laughed, "Wait, I'll start now."

"Wait, Zhao Wuji is a seventy-eighth level Soul Saint. Are you going to openly confront him like this?" Dai Mubai's heart trembled.

"Of course, it's not a problem. We have a brother among us who has a Shadow Martial Soul, mysterious and unpredictable, and no one can match his stealth technique. He has successfully sneaked into the depths of the forest. He can summon two thirty-thousand-year-old Thousand Jin Ants at any time. Even if Zhao Wuji's cultivation is that of a Soul Saint, he will be too busy to take care of himself."

"Besides, who isn't a Soul Saint?" The middle-aged man with the mustache chuckled, and a powerful aura burst out, seven soul rings continuously appearing under his feet.

"You are also a Soul Saint?" Dai Mubai's face showed shock.

"If I didn't have two sharp knives, how could I dare to take on such an advanced task?" The middle-aged man with the mustache said coldly, a bloody aura making Dai Mubai shiver.

Just as Dai Mubai was shocked, he said to the bushes not far away, "You two, accompany Young Master Dai. I'll be back soon."

Swish.

Two men in black clothes, with similar facial features, rushed out of the bushes.

"Boss, rest assured, we will definitely protect Young Master Dai."

"Boss, with me here, Young Master Dai will definitely not wander around."

The two men nodded heavily.

On the other hand, Dai Mubai's eyelids twitched. He could tell the implied meaning in the words of these desperadoes. They said protection, but in reality, it was restriction. They were afraid that in the event of a conflict between the two sides, he would turn and run.

"Rest assured, I'll wait here, I won't go anywhere."

Dai Mubai said solemnly.

At the same time.

Several miles away from this location.

Meng Yiran watched with wide eyes as a purplish-black soul ring fell onto Zhu Zhuqing's body.

A worried expression unconsciously appeared on her beautiful face.

"This soul ring is estimated to be around eight thousand years old. Is it really okay for Zhuqing to absorb it?" She knew that the limit for the fourth soul ring was around five thousand years. So far, she had never seen anyone absorb a soul ring of more than five thousand years as their fourth ring.

"Zhuqing is a calm person. I believe that her decision was not impulsive. She must have some assurance," said Zhao Wuji beside her, his expression also grave.

In fact, he had objected before, but considering the man behind Zhuqing, he ultimately supported her decision.

What's wrong with a woman under His Highness having some extraordinary aspects?

"It worked!"

Suddenly, Meng Yiran pointed at Zhu Zhuqing and let out a light exclamation.

Zhao Wuji also noticed.

After the soul ring merged into Zhu Zhuqing's body, her aura immediately underwent a significant change.

It was getting stronger at an astonishing speed.

"Wow, I underestimated Zhu Zhuqing." Zhao Wuji's eyelids twitched. "With such a fast refining speed, it proves that this soul ring is far from reaching Zhu Zhuqing's limit. I was too conservative. I feel like Zhu Zhuqing could even refine a ten-thousand-year soul ring without any difficulty."

"Yeah, Zhuqing is now much stronger than me," Meng Yiran looked at Zhu Zhuqing with envy.

"Wait, why is Zhu Zhuqing's cultivation still increasing? Hasn't she reached level forty-two? Is this not her limit?" Zhao Wuji noticed another anomaly. Even if she absorbed an eight or nine-thousand-year-old soul ring and increased her soul power by two levels, wouldn't that be about it?

However, Zhu Zhuqing showed no signs of stopping, and her cultivation even broke through.

Forty-third level.

Forty-fourth level.

Forty-fifth level.

She continued to increase her soul power by a full three levels before stopping.

Zhao Wuji was shocked, his mouth gaping and his face filled with astonishment.

To be honest, he, Zhao Wuji, had seen a lot in his decades of life.

But he had never seen anyone increase their soul power by so many levels in one go!

"Calm down, Zhao Wuji. You've seen a lot too. Although Zhu Zhuqing's move is abnormal, it's not that big a deal compared to His Highness." Zhao Wuji tried to convince himself not to be overly surprised.

"Teacher Zhao, thank you both for guarding me. We can leave now," Zhu Zhuqing said as she opened her eyes, transitioning from a seated position to standing.

She looked radiant, full of vitality.

"Zhuqing, I'm really curious. Can a single eight or nine-thousand-year-old soul ring still increase your cultivation?" Meng Yiran asked curiously, voicing her doubts.

"Of course not," Zhu Zhuqing answered negatively. "That's just part of the reason."

"In fact, my true soul power had long surpassed level forty, but without the fourth soul ring, you couldn't tell."

"I see." Both Meng Yiran and Zhao Wuji suddenly understood.

But then another question arose: how did Zhu Zhuqing increase her soul power so much?

Zhu Zhuqing was not foolish; she naturally saw the doubts in their hearts.

She smiled rarely, "Teacher Zhao, you've missed your chance. Yiran, if you work hard, you still have hope."

"Huh?" Zhao Wuji was stunned.

He wondered why he had no chance when he hadn't done anything.

On the other hand, Meng Yiran's pretty face blushed instantly as she realized what Zhu Zhuqing meant by "chance".

"I... I will work hard," she said softly.

"Wait!"

Suddenly, Zhao Wuji's face darkened, and he exclaimed loudly, "Be careful, I feel like something powerful is approaching."

"What?" Both Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran's faces changed instantly.

Not because of anything else, but if Zhao Wuji was this serious, it definitely wasn't an ordinary soul beast.

Rustle, rustle.

As everyone quieted down, the sound from the dense forest gradually became clearer.

A giant ant about a meter in size, covered in a dark golden carapace with six robust legs, and six eyes emitting eerie green light, appeared before them.

Zhao Wuji's gaze sharpened as he said in a deep voice, "Judging by its size, this is a Three Thousand Year Thousand Jin Ant. Its strength is not weak. Even I need to be cautious. Be careful."

"Understood," Meng Yiran and Zhu Zhuqing nodded simultaneously.

But as soon as Zhao Wuji finished speaking, another rustling sound echoed.

Zhao Wuji immediately followed the sound with his eyes, and his dark face turned even greener. "Damn it, another Three Thousand Year Thousand Jin Ant has appeared?"

This was going to be tricky.
