Douluo Dalu: Immortal Dragon Clan

Jin Tianming squatted down, looked at the few people in front of him who were on the verge of death, took out a test tube from his storage ring, opened it, and gently dripped a drop of green liquid onto his finger.

This liquid was refined and evolved from a small piece of living gold combined with dragon soul.

Just a tiny drop can restore a severely injured person to their original state; a whole bottle wouldn't be a big deal for these clones, it would just restore some of their life force, but for an ordinary person, this enormous life force would definitely burst them apart instantly!

He grabbed one person with his other hand, pinched the other's chin to force him to open his mouth, and then dripped the drop of the living liquid into his mouth.

A miracle happened in an instant; the person who was supposed to be on the verge of death was instantly restored.

The man looked around blankly, then quickly spotted Ye Xishui and screamed in terror, "Death God Douluo!!!"

Ye Xishui tilted her head and looked at the person, her eyes as if she were looking at an idiot.

"Quiet down, my friend."

Electrolux immediately used magic to silence the man completely.

Jin Tianming put away the test tube, and with a mix of curiosity and a desire to pass the time, asked, "Which faction are you from?"

The person who had calmed down quickly realized his situation, especially when he saw his other seriously injured companions on the floor. He instantly understood that he was trapped in a dangerous situation and could not make any rash moves.

"I am a level nine Soul Master invited by the Star Luo Empire, and my name is Lin Tou."

"I am here today only to accompany my companions in a soul tool experiment."

Lin Tou naturally wouldn't reveal the truth. Their real purpose for this trip was to capture a 100,000-year-old soul beast or a ferocious beast that was currently undergoing tribulation in the far north.

According to the calculations of the Star Emperor, a soul beast over 100,000 years old will soon face a heavenly tribulation in the far north. At that time, they will have the opportunity to capture it alive, which is why they were specially sent here.

They never expected that after lying in wait in the far north for so long, just as they sensed the disturbance and came out to investigate, they would run into Death God Douluo Ye Xishui—one of the legendary figures who could crush the two Holy Dragons.

This is incredibly bad luck.

After hearing Lin Tou's explanation, Jin Tianming instantly guessed the other party's true purpose.

He couldn't help but glance back at Xue Di sitting to the side, thinking to himself: It seems that I accidentally caught these three guys in one fell swoop, which can be considered as helping Xue Di escape the fate of being captured.

"Young friend, please spare us for the sake of the Star Luo Empire! The Star Luo Empire will surely repay you handsomely in the future!"

"Moreover, I am a level nine soul master, and I can help you forge a level nine soul tool!"

Seeing that Jin Tianming remained silent, Lin Tou became increasingly flustered.

He had already realized that everyone present revered this young man, and if the other party wanted to kill him, he would probably be doomed.

Upon hearing this, Jin Tianming couldn't help but laugh, then turned to Ye Xishui and asked, "Senior Ye Xishui, doesn't this guy know your strength as a level nine Soul Master?"

Currently, there are only two strongest level nine Soul Masters on the continent: one is Kong Deming, the worshipper of the Sun Moon Empire, and the other is Ye Xishui, the Death God Douluo standing before us.

Does Lin Tou not even know this, yet he dares to say such things in front of Ye Xishui?
"Such a weakling is not worthy of knowing my name."

"Besides, that so-called level nine soul master title is of no use to me." Ye Xishui didn't care about the level nine soul master status at all.

She initially studied level nine soul tools to break free from Zhongli Laogui's control; later, she gradually developed an interest; and finally, she truly calmed down and studied seriously in order to create a soul tool specifically for Sheng Yangyue.

Moreover, she was too lazy to take the certification exam for a level nine Soul Master, so the world only knew that the strongest Soul Master on the continent was Kong Deming.

At this moment, Lin Tou was filled with disbelief after listening to their conversation. He was indeed a newly promoted level nine Soul Master, but he had never heard of this Death God Douluo who had long since disappeared from the continent. He was actually a level nine Soul Master, and judging from his tone, his strength seemed to far surpass his own.

Then what I just said must have become a joke.

"So it seems you're completely worthless?" Jin Tianming looked at Lin Tou with eyes as if he were looking at a dead man. "Why don't you think about it again and see what conditions you can offer that would make me let you go? Otherwise, today, you'll just be buried by the wind and snow of the far north."

Upon hearing this, Lin Tou's mind raced.

He thought about his ultimate purpose in coming to the far north, but if he revealed it, all his hard work would be in vain, and the important deal with the Star Luo Empire would be completely ruined; but if he didn't say it, he would die here today.

Seeing the struggle and entanglement on Lin Tou's face, Jin Tianming simply watched quietly without urging him on.

"I...I have a secret I can tell you, as long as you..."

"Sorry, I don't want to hear it right now."

"..."

Lin Tou was stunned when he heard Jin Tianming's words, his face full of "why".

Jin Tianming glanced at Huo Yuhao, who had already absorbed the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Ring, and then at Meng Hongchen, who had also finished absorbing it. He then turned to Ye Xishui and said, "Senior Xishui, I'll have to trouble you again this time to turn this guy into a puppet."

From the very beginning, he only wanted to tease this level nine soul master to pass the time while waiting for Huo Yuhao and Meng Hongchen to absorb their soul rings.

Now that both of them had finished absorbing the nutrients, he was too lazy to tease them any further.

"You really know how to order people around," Ye Xishui said irritably, and walked straight towards the edge of the woods.

Seeing that Jin Tianming truly didn't want to hear his secret, and noticing Ye Xishui constantly approaching him, Lin Tou panicked and hurriedly shouted, "I'll tell you! I'll tell you everything! This secret will definitely be useful to you, sir!"

As he spoke, he tried to crawl toward Jin Tianming, but his body was already firmly bound by Electrolux's magic and he could not move.

"Actually... I know about all your actions."

I was just teasing you and passing the time by talking to you so much.

Now that your time is up, you're no longer of any use to me.

Jin Tianming looked down at the top of the forest and spoke slowly and deliberately, his tone devoid of any warmth, as if the top of the forest was nothing more than a cricket to kill at any moment.

Upon hearing this, Lin Tou's eyes widened as he stared intently at Jin Tianming, his pleading expression instantly turning into a roar: "How could you possibly know! This secret is known only to a few of us and the Star Luo Emperor, how could you..."

"It's for testing a level nine soul tool that can imprison a 100,000-year-old tribulation-transcending soul beast, am I right?"

boom--

The moment Lin Tou heard those words, his mind went completely blank.

He completely ignored Ye Xishui, who had already walked up to him, and kept his gaze fixed on the boy in front of him.

In his final moments as he became a puppet, only one thought remained in his mind: 'How did he know? That was my most prized creation; even the people of the Sun Moon Empire, and even my teacher, didn't know…'
