Chapter 49 The Hall of Offerings
Martial Soul City, Hall of Offering
"That's all the grand offerings the young lady has given us. That's all she has to say."
Serpent Spear Douluo She Long knelt on one knee and spoke to the blond middle-aged man before him.
This man appeared to be only in his thirties or forties, with handsome features and a faint smile on his face. His calm and serene aura was incredibly comforting. He was tall but not muscular, wearing a simple grey robe, his long, golden hair neatly combed and draped behind his head. Despite his simple attire, just standing there inspired a sense of reverence.
This is Qian Daoliu, the invincible Sky Douluo, one of the three current Limit Douluos.
Three people stood on either side of Qian Daoliu.
They are respectively an old man with white hair and beard, dressed in a golden robe and silver embroidery, whose strength is as high as level ninety-eight, the Golden Crocodile Douluo.
With short, dark blue hair, smoky blue eyes, sky-blue bangs, sword-like eyebrows, and bright eyes, he was a handsome and powerful Qingluan Douluo with a soul power of level ninety-seven, wearing a blue-green robe.
He was a lion-like Douluo dressed in golden armor and a red robe, with a strong and robust physique and orange beard and hair, and a soul power of level ninety-six.
A figure resembling a young boy, with his left eye covered in ice and snow, long silver hair, and left arm formed from his martial soul energy in an ice-like shape, dressed in a light gray robe, was the Light Feather Douluo, with a soul power level of ninety-six.
A handsome, tall man with a black bun hairstyle, gray-blue eyes, and a scar on his right eye, wearing golden armor, a purple robe, and a purple headscarf, was the Thousand-Pound Douluo, with a soul power of level ninety-six.
He has short black hair and dark red eyes, is handsome, and tall. He wears golden armor and a red robe, and bears a seven-tenths resemblance to the Thousand-Pound Douluo. This is the Seventh Offering Demon-Slaying Douluo, with a soul power of level ninety-six.
Those present were the Spirit Hall's strongest fighters. Even the Serpent Spear Douluo felt extremely uneasy here.
"Xiaoxue, do you want to recruit this young genius? His second spirit ring is a thousand years old, and his third spirit ring is eight thousand years old. He has a staff-type martial soul. Sixth Brother and Seventh Brother, are you interested?"
Qian Daoliu smiled, but inwardly he was overjoyed. Qian Renxue had explained the pros and cons clearly; was she trying to cultivate her own team? Heh, she's grown up. (Note: Qian Renxue is currently seventeen years old and a Soul King.)
"Although the second spirit ring is amazing, it's just a Spirit Master level. Teaching disciples is too troublesome. It's much more interesting to fight against strong opponents."
"I am the Demon Slayer," said the Demon Slayer casually, his little finger still picking at his ear.
The offerings and the spear: ...
"Seventh Brother! Calm down! You're acting like a revered elder!"
"Qianjun Douluo said sternly."
"I know, I know," the Demon-Slaying Douluo said, straightening his posture after hearing his elder brother's words.
"Sixth Brother, what do you think?" Golden Crocodile Douluo knew that Demon Subduing Douluo was only reliable in fighting, and not in other matters, so he decided to ask Thousand Jun Douluo instead.
"Hmm—I think we need to take another look. If Miss can take this child under her wing, it wouldn't hurt for me and Lao Qi to be his teachers. Lao Qi and I do lack a successor. Our Panlong Ancient Family really doesn't have any outstanding talents among the younger generation."
If this child can help the young lady, then becoming her teacher wouldn't be a problem. He's only just starting out; we need to observe him further.
Qianjun Douluo remained calm and composed, prioritizing the overall situation; his approach was currently the most perfect: respond to all changes with constancy.
"In that case, Yu Long, go back and tell Xiao Xue that his talent has only just begun to emerge, and the two elders want to observe him further. It would be best if they could bring him into the Spirit Hall," Qian Daoliu instructed the Serpent Spear Douluo.
"Yes! Your subordinate takes his leave." Serpent Spear Douluo withdrew and returned to Qian Renxue's side to continue serving as her guard, carrying the Grand Elder's instructions.
All the other worshippers returned to their respective cultivation places, but there was one exception: Thousand-Jun Douluo left the worship hall and headed towards the Barak Kingdom.
Only Qian Daoliu sensed it in the entire hall. Qian Daoliu had a faint smile on his lips: "It seems that Qian Jun values his successor quite a bit. He actually left secretly. He probably wanted to find out what the little guy was capable of."
On the other side, the Thousand-Pound Douluo was flying towards the Kingdom of Barak.
"I wonder if this little fellow is as talented as the rumors say. I must go and see for myself. If he truly is a genius, then taking him in won't hurt. It's a pity that the family is currently in dire straits and doesn't have a single member with innate soul power reaching level eight."
"Qianjun Douluo said to himself."
At the speed of a Super Douluo, it would only take a few days to reach the Barak Kingdom.
The Spirit Hall's intelligence network is extremely sophisticated. Even the Thousand-Pound Douluo knows where Li Luochen lives. This time, he wants to observe this kid up close to see if he is as powerful as he claims.

Barak Kingdom, Soto City, Shrek Academy
At this moment, only Li Luochen, Dugu Yan, Li Yusong, and Lu Qibin remained in the academy. Flander and Zhao Wuji had taken Shao Xin, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun to hunt spirit beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Dugu Bo rested for a day before going out to travel the continent, and also to find his old enemies to settle old scores.
At this moment, Li Luochen was sparring with Dugu Yan. Li Luochen was unaware that he had been targeted by a level 96 Super Douluo.
"Come on, Yanzi, attack me. You are now a powerful offensive Battle Soul Master, and you need to hone your close combat skills. Focus on powerful close combat and use poison as a secondary option. The two complement each other and may have a surprising effect."
Li Luochen said to Dugu Yan, "After Dugu Yan's martial soul evolved into the Golden Scale Azure Dragon, it became a top-tier beast martial soul, no less than the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, and she also awakened the Dragon Transformation Secret Technique."
The left dragon claw that Dugu Yan transformed into possesses a multi-layered amplification ability that can be stacked multiple times. Using a soul skill followed by dragon transformation doubles the original amplification—if using a soul skill increases speed, attack power, and defense by 50%, the effect is 1.5 times; using dragon transformation again results in a final amplification of 2.5 times. This is even stronger than the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Moreover, Dugu Yan's dragon claws are highly poisonous. Once scratched by her dragon claws, the poison will seep into the body, and the opponent's condition will only worsen. It can be said that Dugu Yan is invincible in close combat.
Unless they encounter a Soul Master like Li Luochen who is immune to all poisons, they will all be defeated. Unfortunately, Dugu Yan previously followed the control-type path, and she is not yet used to the offensive type.
However, Dugu Yan is also a girl with great perseverance. After getting into a fighting spirit, she has improved tremendously in the past few days. Her close combat ability has increased significantly, and at least she won't be beaten up like when the two first met.

Outside Shrek Academy
"Hmm~ This kid seems to have quite a bit of understanding about combat. Dugu Bo's girl's martial soul has actually evolved? It seems Dugu Bo has a great opportunity, but it has nothing to do with me."
Qianjun Douluo had been there for a while, and watching Li Luochen train Dugu Yan, he had a new impression of this kid.
