Douluo: Divine Fire Xuanyuan

Chapter 461 Dongyang City Lord's Pseudonym
Not long after entering Dongyang City and then the inner city, Yuwentuo sensed a powerful spiritual force. Their presence was so striking that even with their changed attire, they still attracted the attention of powerful figures.

"Tuotuo, he's a Title Douluo!" Xiao Xiao transmitted her voice.

She is now a titled expert, and her mental strength is strong enough to surpass that of a level 95 Super Douluo. How could she not sense that someone was watching her?

“That’s normal!” Yuwen Tuo said. “Dongyang City is a coastal city and may face attacks from sea spirit beasts at any time. In order to protect this place, the power of a Title Douluo is necessary. I just don’t know which one it is?”

In the original story, this place was under the control of the Holy Spirit Cult, which sent out the Ten Thousand Souls Douluo and the Abomination Douluo. They also used the Soul Spirit Technique to deceive the Sea Princess.

After all, the mermaid race is a powerful spiritual beast race. For the Ten Thousand Souls Douluo, even if he cannot obtain their soul rings, obtaining their soul bones would be a great improvement for him. In particular, their souls, if forcibly taken, would also greatly enhance his Ten Thousand Souls Banner martial soul.

However, this time, he did not sense any evil soul master aura from that titled Douluo. With the power given to him by Ilex, evil soul masters had nowhere to hide in front of him. If he could not sense it, then it did not exist.

Could it be that because the Soul Spirit Technique was not passed down, the Myriad Souls Douluo abandoned the Sea Princess's wonderful soul?
Moreover, not only was there no evil aura, Yuwen Tuo even sensed a righteous aura from that titled Douluo!
“Tuo, that Title Douluo is still watching us, but I don’t sense any malice from him,” Qiu’er said.

“He’s just doing his job, Xiao Tuo, should we avoid him?” Ling Luochen suggested.

Yuwen Tuo guessed that this person was probably a Title Douluo or a Level 9 Soul Master stationed in Dongyang City under normal circumstances. However, due to the later continental war, his strong combat power was transferred out.

To put it bluntly, hiring evil spirit masters to guard the city is utter nonsense. The city's inhabitants would likely have been wiped out by these guys even before the sea spirit beasts attacked them.

"Something's not right!" Yuwen Tuo suddenly stopped in his tracks. "Don't you guys feel that the city's military strength is far too weak?"

“Empty?” Xiao Xiao closed her eyes and sensed it. “It really is. There are very few fluctuations in soul power. Why did the Sun Moon Empire only send a Title Douluo to guard the city, but did not provide him with any troops? If the sea soul beasts launch a beast tide, even if this Title Douluo is very powerful, he cannot guard this place by himself, unless he is a Limit Douluo.”

Upon hearing this, Ling Luochen subconsciously stopped and said, "There is a possibility that there is an army here, but that the army has been completely wiped out, or that they have been sent out to do something."

Yuwen Tuo nodded. "It seems we need to meet with the titled Douluo here."

As they spoke, the three continued walking toward the center of the city. Soon, a squad of guards stopped them. "Gentlemen, please wait." The squad leader was very respectful. After all, Yuwen Tuo was wearing the uniform of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, so he should be a Soul Master, or at least a Soul Master, while he was just an ordinary soldier maintaining order in the city.

"What do you want?" Yuwen Tuo asked knowingly.

"The four of you must be top students from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. It's a rare treat for you to have come all the way to Dongyang City. My city lord sincerely invites you to the city lord's mansion for a chat."

"I see. Since it is the city lord who has invited me, I have no reason to refuse," Yuwen Tuo said with a smile. "Please lead the way!"

The squad leader stepped aside and said, "This way, please, all four of you."

The four followed the captain into a mansion in the city center. As the mansion of a titled Douluo, it was not as huge and luxurious as Yuwen Tuo had imagined. Instead, it was rather simple, similar to the homes of ordinary officials, and not even half as luxurious as the city lord's mansion of Ma Sino.

The Sun Moon Empire couldn't possibly be poorer than the Heavenly Soul Empire.

It seems that the city lord here is quite frugal.

As soon as they entered, they saw a middle-aged man with a resolute face. He stepped forward and said, "Welcome, three of you. I am the city lord of this city, Kaiya, my martial soul is Thunder Lion, my title is Thunder Lion, I am a level 92 power attack type titled Douluo, and an eighth-level soul master." The city lord began with an extremely solemn self-introduction.

He even mentioned his own status as an eighth-level Soul Master. Most ninth-level Soul Masters are Title Douluos, but a Title Douluo is not necessarily a ninth-level Soul Master. After all, if his Soul Tool technology can only create eighth-level Soul Tools, then even if he is a Limit Douluo, he is not a ninth-level Soul Master.

The problem is, this isn't the etiquette a titled Douluo should use when addressing a young person; rather, it's an introduction between people of the same social class.

Although they are indeed of the same rank, could these mere level 92 Title Douluo and level 8 Soul Master really see through their cultivation levels?
Seeing what Yuwen Tuo was thinking, City Lord Kaiya laughed and said, "Your Excellency need not be puzzled. I really cannot see the levels of you all, but it is precisely because I cannot see them that it is even more strange, isn't it? I am, after all, a Title Douluo, yet I cannot see through any of you four young people."

“One might be a coincidence, but four of them being like this is too strange. So I dare to guess that all four of them are at least Contra Master level or higher,” Kaiya said.

This person is indeed very clever. This was a mistake on their part. Making it impossible for others to see through you is indeed a clever way to hide yourself.

However, this method will become a weakness when encountering other experts. If even a titled Douluo cannot see through it, then he must be a simple person.

"Hehe, it seems to be our problem. My name is Yuwen Ningke," Yuwen Tuo introduced himself.

“Then I am, Tuoba Xiaoxiao.”

"My name is Ling Xiaoxue."

"My name is, uh... Ning Ke's sister!"

"Hmm?" All three of them turned their gazes to Qiu'er. What kind of name is Ning Ke's sister? Qiu'er, at least come up with a more plausible name.

Qiu'er stared at the three of them in confusion. Why were they looking at her? In the stories Tuo had told her, there was no name given in this situation. She could only make one up on the spot.

Kaiya said helplessly, "The four of you, even if you're going to make up fake names, can you at least be a little more serious?"

Forget about the other three, but what the heck is Ning Ke's sister?

Yuwentuo thought for a moment, then decided not to speak first and wait to see the three girls' reactions before following suit.

"My name is Xiao Xiao!" Xiao Xiao said directly. Traveling the mainland with dignity, one should not use a false name. She had just been corrupted by Tuo Tuo.

"My name is Ling Luochen!" Ling Luochen also stated her real name directly. Although her name was somewhat famous in Xingluo, not many people in the Sun Moon Empire knew about it, let alone in such a remote area.

"Yuwen Qiu!" Qiu'er thought to herself that she was confused. This name was not her real identity. Her true form was a mythical beast. Why did she make up other fake names?

Seeing that all three girls had revealed their real names, Yuwen Tuo knew he could no longer hide it. "My name is Chen Jingchou!"
