"If I could, why wouldn't I?" Chen smiled and replied.

"It may hurt your pride to know the truth so let me lie— I didn't feel like wasting spirit energy on your group of misfits. Bring me a real challenge and I'll probably reveal my true strength."

"Answer my question," the binding turned tighter as Chen began chuckling and coughing simultaneously.

'This Domain also increases spirit concentration. Can she feel that I'm still absorbing spirit energy?' Chen's mind didn't stop working but he grinned on the outside, "I did answer you. It's your turn to find out which one is the truth and which one is the lie."

"I could kill you," Ah Yin whispered. The surrounding blades of grass instantly grew out and turned around to morph into a makeshift drill.

"Then stop wasting both of our times. Do it already," Chen smiled coldly. His expression looked weary but for a moment, Ah Yin felt that she was looking at a vast sea of blood.

Both of their expressions changed.

'He still has killing intent?' Ah

    "Are you listening to what I'm saying?" A middle-aged man with a wide back grumbled. His silky black hair was swiped back and unlike the general norm, he wore a leather jacket with raised red rings around his shoulder. His bulky physique and biker's outfit were matched by the somewhat younger man out of the duo. Unlike the grumbling man, the younger one had short brown hair and a rugged face without any facial hair."Yeah. I did. Spirit Hall has a weak influence here because the kingdom has high military authority. We're not even in the capital yet, give it a rest," the man mumbled and cleaned his ears."Hush!" The bearded man instantly raised his index and gave a gesture to shut the man up when he noticed the uncomfortable stares from the surrounding."Even though we aren't in Balak City, it never hurts to be cautious. Remember, we are not in our clan! The outside world has rules."The younger one out of the two frowned and scoffed, "I'm already a spirit sage and you will breakthroug

    "You want this owl?" Ah Yin frowned before shaking her head.She turned around and her silky blue hair would wave in a pleasant arc. As she began walking away, Tang Hao and Tang Xiao looked at each other.Despite all their differences, past pranks, and petty grudges, if there was one thing the two of them could agree on then it was their admiration for their grandfather! The strongest master to ever be born in their clan."How about you tell us about the owl and we tell you about the kid?" Tang Xiao proposed. His words stopped Ah Yin in her tracks and she turned around. Nodding."But this isn't a suitable location to exchange information. Are you in a hurry? If not, we can chat inside the dining hall of the inn," Tang Xiao pointed at the inn next to them."The information isn't large. I don't want to go in only for exiting after a few minutes," Ah Yin stated. Her words made Tang Hao and Tang Xiao's lips twitch. She was far too dangerous with her tongue!"You go first," Ah Yin gestured

    When Ja Sau felt the tension increasing, he let out a sigh, "Come on, Ah Yin. Help me out. The stronger I am, the better the spirit ring I can absorb. This increases the chances of having another boost of cultivation speed."Ah Yin continued to think deeply"But we still cannot do it here. Similarly, Spirit Dou Great Forest is too dangerous with a large traffic of spirit masters in the outskirts and the aggressive spirit beasts."Chen also frowned. He wanted to give this mission a try. The rewards should be similar to rewards revealed for Revitalized Blood Qi Art where the techniques would be enhancement and application of blood energy. Similarly, the rewards this time will probably be the applications of mental energy to hasten mental Cultivation."The Demon Pond Forest is too far away. It doesn't make sense to go there, either," Chen mumbled."Then... let's go to the Violet Waterfall Marsh," Ah Yin suddenly spoke up."That place..." Chen frowned, "Your domain can truly be magical th

    With an extremely depraved smirk, Chen pushed in the 128th needle.His body trembled violently and finally, blood gushed out of his ears."Help me heal a little," Chen's eyes snapped open. He was short on time now.Surprised that Chen could even speak, Ah Yin hurriedly nodded while observing his completely drenched robe and the thin pool of blood under him."The damage to your body is too great. It will take a little time to heal," Ah Yin frowned as she continued to fill Chen with pure physical energy."Just continue this for thirty more seconds," Chen spoke relatively calmly but his body kept shuddering. His vision was blurry... not, it was dark. Presently, he already couldn't see anything and he could only hear Ah Yin because his ears took the most recent damage and healed the quickest.'The technique will consider breaking into Level 5 the moment my pool of mental energy evolves and grow in quality. It took a dozen minutes in the fourth level so I hope it at least takes 10% more th

    "Ow... ow... ow... ow..."Chen continued to gasp and struggle while he was held against a tree using a thuck vine. His blood-crusted pants covered his lowered body while Ah Yin continued to scrape the crust off of his eyelids that kept his eyes shut."I can just jump in the water and clean it!" Chen tried to move his body while Ah Yin frowned."Your blood is different. I'm sure you know it. Its quality is high, this also means its various limits are higher than normal, too. It won't come off until you jump in boiling water. At least, this way, you can open your eyes and slowly scrape off every crust of blood from your body," Ah Yin continued to use a hardened blade of grass to slowly and carefully scrape it off."Is it noon?" Chen inquired."It's evening," Ah Yin replied."Almost 400 kilometers from the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, we need to find a village or an outpost town and take rest," Ah Yin sighed."And buy clothes," Chen added."... that, too..."

    "Are you sure this is the place?" Feng Long was getting flustered by the day. Once a spirit master reaches their bottleneck, they would want to absorb a ring as quickly as possible. After all, it is a simple instinct to wanting to get stronger and reach one's limits.Zhao Wuji, Feng Long, Oscar, and Jun'er occupied a table in the only restaurant in the town. They still hadn't ordered anything and waited for Ah Yin to show up."Still, it is quite a coincidence that we met her here. And about her clothes being bloodied... I don't think it was that Chen," Wuji stated in a low voice."Why?" Feng Long scoffed. In their group, only Feng Long seemed to have 'forgiven' Chen for robbing them completely. In fact, whenever the group started a discussion about any popular spirit master, Feng Long would most definitely speak up Chen's name."He could defeat all of us—""Ah Yin struck us unconscious," Jun'er snorted."And Chen struck Boss and Ah Yin unconscious, Stinky!" Feng Long scoffed in defian

    A/N: Spirit Soul, in this context, does not mean spirit attributed spirit ring but existence of spirit souls seen in Douluo Dalu 2,3, and 4. I tried to explain with the best of my capabilities but if there are still others who don't understand it and haven't read the sequels, I humbly request to just check the wiki since they have a larger context base.The title of the most beautiful spirit beast of the continent goes to an insect spirit beast named Bright Goddess Butterfly. Its size depends on its cultivation. Greater the cultivation, larger the size. Its carapace is glowing white in color as if the most central location of a fire. The glow released from the white carapace makes its luminescent blue wings with constantly changing dark-blue patterns on the surface and the golden lining on the edge of the wings stand out further.But the most beautiful spirit beast comes from the ugliest of sources. Just like the most beautiful lotus blooms over muddied waters, Bright Goddess Butterfl

    In a well-lit cave filled with luscious blue river grass, a young man could be seen sitting cross-legged. His disheveled hair dropped low and there was the slightest hint of facial hair. His extended ears were covered with silver fur and through his wavy silver locks, there was a tattoo of a green, vertical eye.Next to him were placed a pair of white-gold gauntlets and leather boots. He wore a pitch-black robe with silver embroidery over the ends of the sleeves and the hems of the robe and pants. Unlike the ceremonial robes he received previously, the Starry Black Majestic Battle Robe had a shorter length and the pants were baggier. Not only that, the clothes seemed to be made of spiritual materials in the sense that nothing stuck to them.Unless torn and ruined, Chen could practically wear them for as long as he wants!His fore-talons were carefully placed over his knees. After breaking through, he began to practice every day. He would only cultivate the Mental Acupuncture Technique

    "Xiaogang, step forward and remove your mask." The old man narrowed his eyes. Stepping forward, the youth removed his mask and much to Chen's surprise, this was the youth with the nickname Luo San Pao. The youth with an enlightened martial soul.Dusting himself, Chen openly placed the mask inside the storage belt tool he looted from this man— Xiaogang. The corner of Xiaogang's lips twitched and Chen nodded unhurriedly."I finally understand. Thank you for enlightening me. But, what kind of explanation would you like to hear?" Chen inquired calmly. Even after being pressurized by the spirit of a Titled Douluo, he remained calm so by now, none of the men present took him as an easy target. Of course, Chen was easy to kill. But in the eyes of every elder and the Supreme Pontiff, Chen wasn't easy to break."I want to know why you were so malicious," The old man stated with a chill in his voice."My actions were not fuelled by maliciousness. They were triggered by curiosity. In my life, I

    Chen and Ah Yin silently sat next to each other in the carriage. Right now, their appearance was quite different. Aside from the Vajra Gauntlets, Chen continued to wear his Starry Black Majestic Battle Robes. What different was his mask. Unlike the full face mask that he took from Ah Yin previously, Chen wore a dull black masquerade mask. Meanwhile, Ah Yin didn't cover her face at all.After Ah Yin had successfully evolved, she didn't continue to absorb from the core. She wanted to, but for some reason, Chen hinted that it would help her later once again and by now, if she didn't take Chen's advices seriously, she would be a fool. An ordinary individual would never have a Blue Silver Emperor's Core with themselves. And for the next three days, Chen continued to make her memorize various scripts.This was extremely important because even if Ah Yin's life wasn't on the line, Chen's was.Chen had even created a mission for this very task but didn't know whether to laugh or cry.[Objectiv

    "What is it?" Sitting cross-legged in front of Chen, she inquired calmly. Even though the situation looked grim for others, Ah Yin was quite calm. Why? Because she never did take part in the war. Her value was extremely less to others and she knew it. Unless she reveals her age and cultivation, she can silently live in the city for a month or two and slip out quite easily.It was Chen, the mission junkie, who needed to be careful. Despite his age, being a Spirit Elder wasn't too low of a talent. Many factions will want him to be cultivated under their name since he had been shooting groups of Spirit Elders without rest!"Did you really mean it when you said about being free to move after reaching rank 60?"Chen's inquiry pulled a nod from Ah Yin."What if I said my next destination is Spirit Hall?" He continued.Actually shrugging, Ah Yin responded calmly, "I have no immediate burdens after reaching 60. So what if you want to enter Spirit Hall? In fact, they wouldn't even think that o

    In an ordinary room, barely furnished and decorated, sat a handsome figure. Flowing golden hair in thick locks cascaded over his shoulders yet not a single strand of hair fell over his forehead and was neatly combed back. His skin healthy and a set of glittering yellow eyes could enchant any bystander. Half of his handsome face, the right portion, was covered with a mask. The mask itself was quite a delicate accessory made of white and gold that seemed to match the man's aesthetics.He wore plain white robes that failed to hide his broad shoulders and a sturdy body. With a soothing smile over his thin lips, the figure read the reports in his hands.Aside from the extraordinary man himself, there was nothing out of the ordinary in the room. One the parchments were a list of name. On top of which was the name Blood Goddess. Next to this name was a number: 30987. Then, there was a brief description of the figure holding the name Blood Goddess.The second name on the list was Ultimate Gra

    "Shit!" A large man with a nasty scar from the corner of his lips to his jawline. A kerchief loosely hung around his neck. There were two other men and three other women. Each of them had similar scars running from the corner of their lips and reaching their jaws. Everyone looked gloomy, their eyes revealing a hateful glare as they recalled the silver glare sweeping in and taking away their brother."Let's storm that Su Huo's mansion! I don't believe that he can defend us all. We have to save Little Lo!"A girl expressed her indignance however, the burliest in the group growled and raised his hand to silence his brothers and sisters."We can't. We've fallen into their trap once, we cannot afford to make the same mistake again. This group is going to be strong... and losing this group match means losing our lives! For the kingdoms, this is a game, but for us, it is a real war through and through.""We will make our move tonight. Little Ran, make sure you only use your spirit energy on

    Over one and half month has passed since Chen started accepting missions and as the two kingdoms promised, the rewards could boost a spirit master's strength comprehensively if they know how to properly use their rewards. Out of the 'real' mission time, only 43 days are left. In the remaining period, Chen had completed three other group missions. His strength already greater than what he could have ordinarily achieved in half a year if not an entire year.His Revitalized Blood Qi Art reaching the fifth stage and finally nourishing his physique as a whole. The greatest gain was the slight comprehension of Heart Separation Control but to reach the most basic standard of the technique— Three Aperture Governing Heart.With his tenth mission completed, Chen once again sat in front of Yu Suntao while he deeply explained the cause of the war and the consequences of various choices."Ultimate Grandson, do you understand now? It may sound extremely insincere at this moment, but the Spirit Hall

    Unlike usual, Chen didn't spend his entire time in the Inn. Ah Yin and Chen have been in Balak City for almost a month but instead of cultivating in seclusion or simply speedrunning the missions, the two haven't done much and sharing Chen's sentiment of feeling slightly clustered due to such a routine, the duo stepped out of the Inn with their masks on.The Aroma Silk Tulip was ready to be used one last time and Chen had 28 lotus seeds ready to be consumed but all of it can wait. Though completely focused on the mission to get the chance of achieving two more rewards, he still felt the slight delay worth it if the accompanying partner was Ah Yin. Not because she was a girl, well partly yes, but also because the two found each other pleasing regardless of how much they bickered."We have experienced the nightlife of the city, we have even tasted the local cuisine," Ah Yin spoke up, "What do you think we should do this time?"Built for more militaristic purposes, Balak City had quite a

    The seven enemies glared at Chen. Why wouldn't they? Their clothes were slightly shuffled and while everyone thought they'd been molested at first, it turns out that reality was far more pragmatic and crueler. Belonging to one of the three most prominent clans of the Douluo Continent, despite their lower ranking, all of them held specialized items such as spirit blocking rope, and now, everyone was tied with their own items!Their storage tools were robbed and their opponent still hadn't revealed anyone aside from the spirit master with a plain black mask and brilliant black combat robes. To the eyes of the defeated, the spirit master clearly belonged to a faction. This thought was solidified further when they gazed at the majestic gauntlets worn over his hands that extended a little further to his forearms."We have lost and you've robbed us of our tokens. But there is no need to further the aggravations since we both know that losing a battle, for us, doesn't mean the loss of life."

    Unlike a fort, a tower is relatively harder to defend due to its narrow base and greater height. But the advantage of a tower wasn't to fortify and store armies, it was to scout. With the tower's height and expert scouts, enemies are discovered quicker than usual and reported back. This was the case currently.Within the Silvers Kingdom's Territory, the tower Chen is asked to defend is the eye of three forts collectively with scouts constantly updating the forts. The Chief of the Tower, a grey-haired middle-aged man with an impressive physique by the size of his pieces of armor, was quite reluctant. Soldiers didn't understand but how could a higher official not?By the two kingdoms, Empire, and the Spirit Hall, all non-spirit masters in the armies were treated as a pawn. In some way, their fates were worse than spirit masters.But Chen, much to the chief's shock, didn't try to gain control and approval of the tower's soldiers like others who came before him.
