Douluo Dalu: The Frozen Throne

Chapter 51 Genius and the Past (Seeking Follow-up Reading)
The night passed quietly.

The next morning, Shu Yan and Xu Jiujiu, who were having breakfast, received a letter of intelligence sent by Nebula Douluo.

This piece of information was sent from Xu Jiawei. It roughly recorded some information about the southern visitors who came to Xingluo City this time. It also thoughtfully marked the martial spirits possessed by these people and their approximate soul power levels.

During the last secret chat in the palace, Shu Yan had already expressed his idea of ​​wanting to subdue the remnants of the Spirit Hall and use them for his own purposes. Xu Jiawei's attitude was not obvious, and he only said that he would give Shu Yan a reply later, but now it seems that Xu Jiawei's attitude has basically been determined.

Xu Jiujiu nestled in Shu Yan's arms and looked at the golden paper with the star crown totem printed on it. Shu Yan's gaze also followed it. After briefly flipping through it, Shu Yan was a little surprised.

"Except for Luo Qinghan and the other two from yesterday, there are still a few people on this list who can be called geniuses. But what surprised me even more was that so many of the top martial spirits that were famous on the continent ten thousand years ago have been inherited. At first, I even thought that these martial spirits only existed in history."

Xu Jiujiu frowned slightly, pointed at the names on the golden paper and said:

"Tian Ling, martial spirit Golden Crocodile, seventeen years old, level 41 spirit power."

"Eternal Moon Chant, martial spirit Panlong Staff, fifteen years old, forty-seventh level spirit power."

"Hu Yanhao, martial spirit diamond mammoth, sixteen years old, forty-second level spirit power."

"Meng Ning, martial soul Black Demon, thirteen years old, twenty-seventh level soul power."

"The martial spirits of these people seem to be closely related to those from ten thousand years ago. The Golden Crocodile is a lower-level martial spirit of the Golden Crocodile King martial spirit owned by the Golden Crocodile Douluo, the second worshiper of the Spirit Hall. The Coiled Dragon Stick...is the same as Elder Qian's martial spirit. I'm afraid she has a close connection with Elder Qian. As for the Diamond Mammoth, it is also the orthodox martial spirit of the Elephant Armor Sect that was attached to the Spirit Hall ten thousand years ago. As for the Black Demon martial spirit..."

Having said that, Xu Jiujiu frowned slightly, as if he had not remembered any information about this martial soul for a while.

Shu Yan gently took the golden letter from Xu Jiujiu's hand, and then said softly:

"The Black Demon is a very special martial soul. Ten thousand years ago, the martial soul of Meng Shenji, the chief teacher of Tiandou Royal Academy, was the Black Demon. The Black Demon is also known as one of the most terrifying control-type martial souls of that era. It is said that once a soul master is dragged into the dream created by the Black Demon, he will lose the possibility of escape. This is undoubtedly a top-level control-type martial soul, but why the descendants of this martial soul would join the Wuhun Hall's remnants is unknown."

After Shu Yan's reminder, Xu Jiujiu suddenly remembered something. She summarized her thoughts and continued to speak:
"I remember that I went to read the history books of the empire some time ago, and by chance I learned a lot of secret past events. This incident was also recorded in the history books of the empire. It was specifically related to the Avalanche Emperor of the Tiandou Empire ten thousand years ago."

"This Emperor Xue Beng is a disciple of the Sea God. After the God War ended, the gods no longer interfered in human affairs. Xue Beng was a qualified king at first, but later, he inevitably followed the old path of the Tiandou nobles of previous generations."

"At that time, the three academic committee members of the Tiandou Royal Academy, two of whom had already broken through to the Titled Douluo realm, almost risked their lives to make suggestions, but later, they were ostracized and ignored by the majority of the Tiandou nobles, and their positions as academic committee members were also stripped away. Later, the three of them seemed to have finally lost hope and never said a word in the Tiandou court at that time. Instead, they left Tiandou City with their families and have been missing since then..."

"It seems that their lives after leaving Tiandou City were not comfortable, otherwise their descendants would not have fallen into the current situation."

Shu Yan nodded slightly. He didn't care about these insignificant past events. What he cared about was another person. "At the age of fifteen, she has a soul power of level 47. This talent is top-notch even in Shrek Academy. Seriously, Qiangu Yueyin has the possibility of breaking through to the Soul Emperor before the age of twenty. We have to pay attention to her. In addition, she has a special relationship with Qian Lao. If nothing goes wrong in the future, her achievements will be at least at the Super Douluo level."

Xu Jiujiu nodded, and his expression became a little serious.

"Although the leaders of their group are rare geniuses, the problems they face are also obvious."

"I've asked around. Apart from these few leaders who can take on important tasks, the others who came with them are also geniuses among them, but they are all close to twenty years old. This shows that after ten thousand years of inheritance, they are still inevitably facing the problem of the deterioration of their bloodline and talents. If this continues, it is estimated that within a few thousand years, some of their families will completely disappear."

Shu Yan nodded again, then chuckled and said:

"It is precisely because of this that they have to consider other ways out. Otherwise, they can only watch their family decline little by little."

Xu Jiujiu stuck out her tongue, then smiled and pinched Shu Yan's cheek, raised her head slightly and said:
"Then A Yan, you really caught them at their most confused and helpless period. It seems that the result is already very clear."

Shu Yan smiled and kissed Xu Jiujiu's tender red lips. After casually putting the piece of letter paper into the soul guide, he stood up and hugged Xu Jiujiu.

"Let's go and see what kind of strength these geniuses who have walked out of the shadows have. It will also be a good opportunity for Jiujiu to see what my true strength is now..."

Xu Jiujiu smiled softly and rubbed her cheek against Shu Yan's chest. The two of them were very affectionate and soon left the princess's mansion...

……

At noon, Xingluo Arena.

As the largest soul master arena in the entire Xing Luo Empire, the size of the Xing Luo Arena is even comparable to that of two Xing Luo Plazas. Countless competitions are held here every day. Just talking about the arena, the daily flow of people is as high as hundreds of thousands. Therefore, the daily turnover generated here is also an extremely terrifying number. Any income and expenditure is a huge sum of money that is out of reach for ordinary nobles.

The princess of the royal family arranged it personally, and the person in the palace nodded in agreement. Naturally, the managers of the arena also attached great importance to it. The Tianzi-level arena that was originally full of people was empty today, and the periphery was surrounded by three layers of royal secret guards. Ordinary people didn't even have the opportunity to take a second look at the periphery. Even some nobles who wanted to go in to find out what was going on were directly expelled, and some were even thrown out directly. It can be said that they were shameless and would not be able to see people again in a short period of time...

Shu Yan and his party, guided by the maid, entered the preparation area of ​​the Tianzi-level competition arena. After pushing open the heavy wooden door, the spacious and bright venue came into view. Also appearing were Luo Qinghan and the other two from yesterday, as well as some unfamiliar faces that they had never met before...
