Douluo Dalu: Tiger Roars in the Universe

Chapter 4: Return of the martial soul?

Dai Yaochen had no intention of hiding his own spirit ring. After all, as long as he fought with others, his own spirit ring would appear, so even if he wanted to hide it, he couldn't hide it for long.

Instead of doing that, it would be better for him to openly display his first and second soul rings that have been upgraded to the thousand-year level. This would probably attract the attention of many people and significantly improve his status in the Xingluo royal family.

Of course, doing so would definitely deepen Davis' hostility, but Dai Yaochen didn't care about it. Davis had already planned to assassinate him anyway. Even if this incident deepened his hostility towards him, that was it.

Since he had already made up his mind, Dai Yaochen took this opportunity to display his two thousand-year soul rings for the first time.

Seeing the two purple soul rings circling around Dai Yaochen, the Soul King captain who was responsible for helping Dai Yaochen catch soul beasts suddenly widened his eyes.

He just fainted once, but after waking up, the age of his spirit ring had increased. Is there such a thing in the world?
Although he thought this was extremely absurd, the two purple soul rings were right in front of him and he couldn't help but believe it.

"This... His Highness the Second Prince is indeed blessed with great fortune to have such an opportunity." The Soul King Captain's Adam's apple rolled, and he subconsciously lowered his posture and asked respectfully, "Since the Millennium King Kong Tiger is too old, then what age of soul beast do you think is appropriate?"

"Between four thousand and five thousand years." Seeing the change in the attitude of the Soul King Captain, Dai Yaochen couldn't help but smile, "I think I should be able to bear this level of soul ring now."

"Uh..." Hearing Dai Yaochen's words, Captain Soul King's face suddenly showed embarrassment, "Your Highness, Second Prince, please forgive me for being unable to do anything."

"With my strength, it is not difficult to defeat a soul beast of four or five thousand years old, but if I want to capture it alive and prevent it from committing suicide, this is beyond my ability."

"If you want to capture a soul beast that is four or five thousand years old, you must send out at least a soul master team led by a six-ring soul emperor."

"I know that too." Dai Yaochen said with a smile, "So you just need to report my situation to the higher-ups and ask them to send out a stronger team of spirit masters."

"That's the only way." The Soul King Captain thought about it and it seemed that this was the only way to deal with it. "Then we won't disturb His Royal Highness the Second Prince from practicing. I'll go back and report and get a stronger soul master team to try to help His Royal Highness the Second Prince catch the most suitable soul beast within three days."

After saying that, Captain Soul King bowed to Dai Yaochen and left with his team members.

After walking out of Dai Yaochen's residence, Captain Soul King first signaled his team members to deal with the Millennium King Kong Tiger, and then hurriedly reported Dai Yaochen's situation to his superiors.

……

At night, a hall in the Xingluo Palace was still brightly lit. Dai Tianyu, the nearly fifty-year-old emperor of the Xingluo Empire, was staying up late to handle government affairs.

Unlike the decentralized Tiandou Empire, the emperor of the Xingluo Empire holds all the power, so naturally there are more government affairs to deal with. Dai Tianyu basically has to deal with them until midnight every day.

At this moment, just as he was looking down at the last document, an old voice suddenly sounded at the entrance of the hall: "Tianyu, your second son seems to have some interesting problems."

Hearing the voice, Dai Tianyu immediately put down the documents in his hand and looked towards the entrance of the hall. What he saw was an old man in a white robe and looked energetic.

"Second Grandfather, why are you here?" As the emperor of Xingluo Empire, Dai Tianyu has always been a man who never shows his emotions. However, after seeing the old man at the palace gate, a rare look of surprise appeared on his face. "My second son...Yaochen? What did he do? He even alarmed you?"

Judging from the way Dai Tianyu addressed him, this old man's seniority in the Xingluo royal family was incredibly high, so it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him the ancestor.

In fact, not only in terms of seniority, but also in terms of strength, he is the strongest in the Xingluo royal family.

"Take a look for yourself." Without further explanation, Patriarch Xingluo came directly in front of Dai Tianyu and handed him a report.

Dai Tianyu took the report with doubts and started reading it immediately, and his expression became more and more surprised as he read the report.

"Both of the second brother's spirit rings have been upgraded to the millennium level. The reason is unknown?" After reading the report, Dai Tianyu suddenly raised his head and looked directly at Xingluo Patriarch, and said in a deep voice, "Is the news true?"

"I asked." Xingluo Patriarch nodded and confirmed, "Today, a spirit master team helped your second son catch a thousand-year-old diamond tiger. As a result, your second son thought the diamond tiger was too young, so he showed his spirit ring on the spot. Everyone in the spirit master team saw that both of his spirit rings were purple."

"Tianyu, this happened to your second child. Do you know what it means?"

"It's impossible for a person's spirit ring age to increase inexplicably. There must be a triggering factor." Hearing what Xingluo Patriarch said, Dai Tianyu's heart moved, "Second Grandfather, do you mean... the spirit has mutated? Or reverted to its original form?"

"That's right." Xing Luo Patriarch smiled and said, "I guess your second son is very likely to have his martial spirit return to his ancestral home."

“If the second brother’s spirit returns to his ancestral form, it will not be a trivial matter for our Xingluo Empire.” Dai Tianyu’s expression suddenly changed.

The White Tiger Martial Spirit of the Xingluo Royal Family was once one of the top martial spirits in Douluo Continent, and was not inferior to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, which is now known as the world's number one offensive beast spirit.

Unfortunately, however, in the process of inheritance, due to some special reasons, the origin of the White Tiger Martial Soul of each generation of the Xingluo Royal Family has been weakened to a certain extent. By the time the Xingluo Royal Family realized this problem, it was already impossible to make up for it, so now the White Tiger Martial Soul inherited by the Xingluo Royal Family is actually incomplete.

The incompleteness of the White Tiger Martial Spirit has always been a pain for the Xingluo royal family. In this case, if a royal descendant with the White Tiger Martial Spirit appears, his importance is self-evident.

To put it bluntly, a royal family member who possesses a complete White Tiger Martial Spirit may even be more important than the emperor of the Xing Luo Empire. After all, there is an emperor in every generation, and a complete White Tiger Martial Spirit has not appeared for many years.

"Don't be too happy too soon." Xingluo Patriarch shook his head, "It's still uncertain whether the martial soul has returned to its ancestral state. I just made a guess based on the increase in the age of your second son's soul ring. As for whether this is the case, I have to go and see it myself."

After saying this, he immediately left the hall.
