Chapter 30 of the First Person
Guangbiao thought his younger brother would behave himself during this time. But who would have thought that he would offend the people of the Spirit Pagoda this time?
When his men told him, he was stunned! How could he not know that his younger brother was so brave!
He got beaten up by Donghai Academy, and I could at least help him out. But this is the Spirit Pagoda! For a mere Soul Emperor to go head-to-head with the Spirit Pagoda is practically suicide!
Upon arriving at the Spirit Pagoda, Guangbiao was about to enter when he saw the captain and deputy captain of the enforcement team walking towards him!
"Captain Zhang, Captain Wang! What did my brother do to offend your Spirit Pagoda this time! I know what happened, and he was in the wrong this time. But he didn't lay a hand on me!"
"Considering the numerous times our mech squad has cooperated with you before, could you please release my brother? We'll compensate those two core members afterwards."
The deputy captain surnamed Wang sneered, "So what if we don't give you face? Guang Biao, do you think we're new to Donghai City? Your brother's been arrogant and domineering all along! If you hadn't been taught a lesson by that Soul Emperor from Donghai Academy last time, wouldn't you still be bullying those kids?"
Your brother is a good-for-nothing too; he uses his Dragon Martial Soul to collect protection money. Giving it to him is a complete waste.
Guang Biao's face darkened. "Gentlemen, this is an insult!"
"Insult? We simply couldn't be bothered with you. Do you even know who the big shot is this time? You're just lucky you haven't run into him yet. If you had... humph!"
This is outrageous! Guang Biao's eyes were bloodshot. Ever since he became the captain of the mecha squadron, no one had dared to insult him like this. Even the powerful families gave him face. How dare they humiliate him like this? Gray scales began to cover his arms. Six spirit rings—two yellow and four purple—manifested!
"Ah!" he roared, determined to demand justice. Captains Zhang and Wang exchanged a glance. Captain Wang held a long black whip. Six spirit rings appeared—four purple and two black.
Guang Biao was shocked. Before he could unleash his soul skill, Captain Wang, who was already prepared, struck first. His three soul rings flashed simultaneously, and he whipped Guang Biao unconscious.
Captain Zhang shook his head. "You're practically begging to die. Do you think your superior will save you?"
Chapter 57 Silver Dragon Shadow
Donghai City
Administrative Office
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
"Come in!" The powerful official in Donghai City looked at his secretary with displeasure.
I've been training him for so many years, how come he's still so impulsive!
"Sir, how come you still have time to drink tea! I just received news that Guang Biao has been detained!"
"Detain him? Who has the audacity to do that? Doesn't he know Guangbiao is one of my men?!" The mayor of Donghai City roared angrily upon hearing that his carefully cultivated and capable subordinate had been detained.
Guang Biao, despite being an ordinary citizen, was able to grow into a six-ring Soul Emperor and become the captain of the mecha squadron, and he played a significant role in this.
Now, Guangbiao has been detained. Isn't this a slap in the face for him and for the Federation?
"Tell me! Which family did this? I'll talk to them right now and get Guangbiao back."
The secretary took out a handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. "It's not those families, it's other forces."
"What force is this, openly detaining someone from our Federation! Is there no law anymore! Tell us, which force is it? Guang Biao's mistake is our Federation's business, and it should be dealt with internally!"
The secretary didn't reply, but instead opened the office door and looked around. Finding no one around, he then looked at the Governor of Donghai City.
"The Spirit Pagoda! I heard that Guangbiao's younger brother offended a direct subordinate of the Spirit Pagoda. He was captured and taken back by the Spirit Pagoda, and Guangbiao rushed there to seek justice as soon as he heard the news!"
"Spirit Transmission...? The Spirit Transmission Tower? Has he gone mad! Daring to provoke the Spirit Transmission Tower! Has he forgotten how he was beaten and sent back from East Sea Academy last time! A Soul Emperor like him dares to go to the Spirit Transmission Tower? How dare he?"
The previously furious governor of Donghai City immediately calmed down. A Soul Emperor who didn't even have a ten-thousand-year soul ring or battle armor dared to provoke the Spirit Pagoda? Was he insane?
He sat back down on the stool and took a sip of tea. "Did he meet with that direct subordinate?" Although Guang Biao had offended the Spirit Pagoda, this governor of Donghai City still wanted to save him.
Although Guangbiao was a bit clueless about his brother's affairs, he was still very obedient to him in other matters. He had finally managed to push him to the position of mecha captain, and he still didn't want to give him up easily.
The secretary shook his head, walked over to the mayor, and whispered in his ear, "Give up, sir. I heard from them that the person Guangbiao is going to offend this time is a member of the Qian Gu family, and both his parents are titled Douluo. Guangbiao is doomed this time!"
Bang! Upon hearing this, the governor of Donghai City immediately stood up. He didn't even notice the leather chair he knocked over as he stood up!
"How dare he! Ah! How dare he! Do his parents even know?! The child of a Title Douluo from the Qian Gu family, and he still wants to cause trouble for them! He...he...he...he..."
At this moment, the governor of Donghai City had no intention of saving Guangbiao at all; all he could think about was distancing himself from Guangbiao.
He knew Guang Biao had gotten himself into trouble this time, but he didn't expect it to be this serious. A descendant of a titled Douluo from the Qian Gu family—this isn't how you court death!
"Go out and spread the word right now that Guang Biao is a spy from the Star Luo Continent! Disassociate yourself from us completely! Go now!"
The secretary nodded and hurriedly ran out.
The governor of Donghai City propped up his chair, slumped into it, and stared up at the ceiling. "Guangbiao, Guangbiao, blame your brother! What can he do besides cause trouble!"
That night, all the major media outlets in Donghai City reported that Guangbiao and his younger brother Guanglong were spies for the Star Luo Continent!
The various powers and families of Donghai City were completely baffled by this news. They could understand each word individually, but when put together, they couldn't comprehend it!
Besides, Guanglong was just a protection collector; how could he have become an undercover agent? But they didn't take it to heart; blaming Xingluo for trouble was an old tradition in the Federation.
The person being reported on looked completely bewildered; he had simply been abandoned.
"Guangbiao, may you rest in peace!"
Whoosh! A dark shadow flashed by, and the two bald heads were slapped in different places, and the famous NPC was completely offline.
Qian Gu Chenran returned to the room arranged for him by the Spirit Transmission Tower in Donghai City. He sat cross-legged on the bed and began his cultivation for the day. It was time for cultivation.
The next day
At the sound of Na'er's "friendly" knocking, Qian Gu Chenran angrily ended his cultivation. He opened the door, looked at the cheerful Na'er across from him, and was completely puzzled.
What's gotten into you today?
Na'er remained silent, only pulling Qian Gu Chenran towards the Spirit Pagoda's dining hall.
Looking at the breakfast spread across the two long tables, Qian Gu Chen Ran raised an eyebrow and glanced at Na'er, who was standing next to him with her hands on her hips and a smug look on her face.
"Good heavens! You've robbed this dim sum restaurant!"
Na'er broke down instantly upon hearing Qian Gu Chenran's complaints. "Idiot Qian Gu Chenran, I asked Brother Li to prepare all of this especially for you! Aren't you going to compete in forging with your master's child today?"
How can you perform if you don't eat your fill! You big idiot, you've wasted the special breakfast I prepared for you.
After saying that, Na'er sat down angrily and stuffed pastries into her mouth.
Seeing the puffed-up silver-haired pufferfish, Qian Gu Chen Ran chuckled and poked her cheek. Na'er turned her head away and huffed!
"Okay! I was just kidding, why are you still angry? I was wrong, please forgive me, Na'er!"
Hearing Qian Gu Chenran's kind words, Na'er turned her head. The displeasure on her face immediately vanished. "Hmph! You're smart to know what's good for you!"
While eating breakfast, Qian Gu Chen Ran looked at the information on his soul communication device: "Na'er, you are going to test the successor of that hidden sect today. Are you confident?"
Upon hearing this, Na'er immediately exclaimed excitedly, "Don't worry, I've been preparing all this time! After all, you're already a Soul Master, so it's not appropriate for you to make a move. The only one left who can represent our Spirit Pagoda is me!"
And you forgot about my soul skill!
Qian Gu Chenran nodded. Indeed, he didn't know how Na'er's soul skill had mutated. It was probably due to the power of her part of the Silver Dragon King bloodline, which had forcibly raised the upper limit of the Holy Flame Dragon's bloodline, making even the soul skill it provided much stronger.
"But can the Holy Flame Dragon withstand it?"
"Trust in the bond between us, boss!"
Hearing Na'er's confident words, Qian Gu Chen Ran could only pray for the Holy Flame Dragon! Hope it doesn't get killed by that soul skill!
After having breakfast with Na'er, Qian Gu Chen Ran took the Spirit Pagoda's vehicle to the East Sea City Blacksmith Association.
Na'er entered the Ascension Platform to await her opponent for the day. She summoned the Silver Dragon Spear and quietly adjusted her breathing.
Having been nurtured by the ancient dust for many years, she mobilized all her soul power, waiting to catch her opponent off guard. She was still in a hurry to find her boss!
A moment later, another figure approached from afar. Two spirit rings, yellow with a hint of purple, rose up as he sensed the level 28 spirit power of the silver-haired girl opposite him.
A black-haired girl walked towards them, looking at Na'er with a face full of anger. Na'er made a face and smiled.
"Ahem! I am your examiner today. Our Spirit Pagoda is not a place you can just enter and leave as you please. If you want to be a core member, let me see your strength."
Hearing Na'er's smug words, Gu Yue's defenses crumbled. Who was responsible for her becoming like this? If Na'er had obediently merged with her, how weak would she be?
Hidden injuries, a lack of fundamental strength, and the need to play house with others! Halfway through the act, you discover the other person is a fraud.
Gu Yue grew angrier the more she thought about it. She looked at Na'er with a forced smile and asked, "How should I address this examiner?"
"Na'er! Come on, defeat me and prove you're qualified to join the Spirit Pagoda!"
Two yellow spirit rings rose and flashed simultaneously. First spirit skill: Elemental Tide; second spirit skill: Elemental Control.
As the two soul skills were activated, the elements around Gu Yue surged. A gust of wind swept in, and streaks of azure wind blades attacked Na'er.
Seeing the dense cyan wind blades hurtling towards her, Na'er pointed her Silver Dragon Spear forward. Silver flames swirled around it. The wind fueled the fire, and Gu Yue's wind blades were engulfed by Na'er's silver dragon flames, which then struck back at their opponent.
Gu Yue sneered. Foolish Na'er was playing with fire with the Silver Dragon King who controlled the elements! She'd teach her a lesson.
With a flick of his finger, water elements condensed into a water dragon that lunged at Na'er's fire tornado. *Splat!* The collision of fire and water filled the space with steam!
Gu Yue gently stroked her jade-like hand, and the azure storm once again transformed into countless wind blades that attacked Na'er. Yellow earth elements flickered, and the ground beneath Na'er's feet turned into a mud pit, her fair legs slowly sinking into the ground.
Na'er smiled slightly; this was the moment she had been waiting for! Her second spirit ring flashed, and her second spirit skill, Silver Dragon Shadow, was unleashed!
The Holy Flame Dragon and the silver phantom appeared behind her together, merging into a humanoid phantom.
The figure clenched his fist, and all the elements nearby were compressed and devoured by the spatial elements. Wind blades and swamps vanished completely under the interference of the spatial elements.
Gu Yue was shocked to see this! She wanted to summon elements to attack, but the dense spatial elements directly sealed off this space, preventing other elements from entering.
She then tried to command the spatial elements, but even when she used half of her soul power, the spatial elements still ignored her.
Taking advantage of this moment, Na'er rushed forward, pressing the tip of her silver spear against Gu Yue's neck, and bright red blood slowly dripped from his fair, jade-like skin.
"You lost!" Na'er glanced at Gu Yue, whose eyes were filled with shock and confusion, and smiled triumphantly.
This is Na'er's most satisfying soul skill, Silver Dragon Shadow. It uses the blood of a soul master to simulate that soul master and projects the soul master's phantom image to help Na'er in battle.
However, due to the high quality of Qian Gu Chen Ran's own martial soul, Na'er needs the Holy Flame Dragon to merge into the soul skill to assist her every time she uses this soul skill, which puts a lot of pressure on the Holy Flame Dragon.
With its current cultivation level, it can only withstand attacks for a maximum of three seconds.
After pressing the distress signal on Gu Yue's wrist, she withdrew herself.
Leng Yulai looked at the two girls who came out with her with satisfaction. She had seen Na'er and Gu Yue's performance this time and was very pleased with it.
This mastery of multiple elements is a martial soul unlike any seen in the many records of the Spirit Pagoda. Once Gu Yue reaches the Title Douluo level, his potential will be limitless.
But what surprised Leng Yulai the most was Na'er's second soul skill! She was absolutely certain that it was Chen Ran's figure.
If Na'er's second soul skill is to summon the phantom of the ancient dust, then this soul skill is the true phantom.
During these four years, these high-ranking members of the Spirit Pagoda also became curious about this legendary ultimate spatial martial soul, and conducted numerous experiments by Qian Gu Chen Ran.
