Douluo: The blue phoenix cries loudly, and the wind whistles through the air

Before long, the two sticks of the ancient sword crossed and clamped Zheng Jiawen's neck.

The other ends of the Panlong Staff and the Chenyin Staff were deeply embedded in the ground, rendering Zheng Jiawen unable to move.

If Qian Gu Chang Kong hadn't stopped in time, the immense force from the two sticks would have been enough to snap the opponent's neck.

After the competition ended, Qian Gu Chang Kong cupped his hands in greeting to everyone present, saying, "Thank you for the favor, and thank you to the organizers for the Soul Guidance Speedboat."

"Old Zheng lost?"

The organizers were filled with disbelief; this young man from the mainland was far more powerful than they had ever imagined.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the organizers had no choice but to back down. A middle-aged man dressed in fine clothes and with a wealthy appearance took out a soul-guided speedboat from his soul-guided device and said with a smile, "Young friend's strength puts us to shame. This soul-guided speedboat will be given to you as a prize."

Qian Gu Chang Kong didn't linger. He took the Soul Guide Speedboat, quickly retrieved the Panlong Staff and the Chenyin Staff, and disappeared from the spot.

Only after realizing what was happening did the Zheng family disciples step forward to help Zheng Jiawen up.

The girl among them said with an incredulous look on her face, "Grandpa, you don't have to go this far, do you?"

The family knows their own affairs.

Zheng Jiawen is getting on in years, but when he encounters outstanding young talents, he can't help but offer them some guidance, and even voluntarily admit defeat to help them boost their confidence.

If we let someone as arrogant and domineering as Qian Gu Chang Kong win, wouldn't that just embolden him?
After a long period of stunned silence, Zheng Jiawen finally recovered from her failure.

His expression was solemn, his gray eyebrows furrowed, and his face was somewhat unpleasant. "No, Lin'er, I did not go easy on him."

Just now, he clearly felt that his strength was inferior to that of Qian Gu Chang Kong. Just as he was about to unleash his Martial Soul True Body, he was interrupted by Qian Gu Chang Kong's two sticks.

The opponent's strength was clearly not that of an ordinary Soul Saint; he was at least a high-level Soul Saint, or even a Soul Douluo.

The girl covered her mouth, exclaiming in surprise, "Contra? How is that possible? How old is he? Grandpa, are you getting senile?"

Although Zheng Jiawen is old, his eyes are still sharp.

With a long sigh, he gently stroked the girl's forehead and said with a kind expression, "Nothing is impossible. Talented people emerge in every generation. The Soul Masters of the continent possess a vast amount of cultivation resources, so it is not impossible for them to nurture a peerless genius."

"Lin'er, you younger generation should also settle down and focus on your cultivation."

……

Streets of Hanhai City.

Qian Gu Chang Kong weighed the heavy silver staff in his hand and said with a smile, "As expected of Lou Gao, the master craftsman, this staff is very well balanced. When I wield it, it feels almost the same as the Panlong Staff."

Wu Qi frowned slightly. "The materials alone for this stick are worth hundreds of thousands of gold soul coins. If you include the craftsman Lou Gao's processing fee, it would easily cost at least a million gold soul coins."

This was all built with money.

This time, they obtained the speedboat and also uncovered the hidden agents on Poseidon Island, making it a very fruitful endeavor.

Two days later, at the Hanhai City Wharf.

On the previous arena, Qian Gu Chang Kong did not leave his name. Although his deeds had spread throughout the city, no one knew who he was.

Apart from the audience members present that day, no one else knew what he looked like.

During this time, the Chai family conducted an investigation and quickly identified a pirate ship, and then asked someone to make contact with the captain.

Accompanying Wu Qi and the other man was one of Chai Rong's trusted confidants, named Bawei. This man wore a large hood, obscuring his face, and had a deep, hoarse voice, giving him an air of mystery.

Led by him, they soon arrived at the berth where the Sea Spider was docked. Captain Charles of the Sea Spider stood on the dock to greet the three.

“My three friends, Mr. Crow has already told me that my Sea Spider will take you on a sightseeing trip at sea.”

With that, he gestured for them to enter and warmly led the three of them onto the deck of the Sea Spider.

The Sea Spider was not a fishing boat, but a cargo ship, so there was no unpleasant fishy smell on board.

The crew members got along well and were full of energy. If Chai Rong hadn't been certain it was a pirate ship, an ordinary tourist would probably have fallen victim to their tricks.

Wu Qi said with a forced smile, "Unless there are special circumstances, let's set sail as soon as possible."

Qian Gu Chang Kong added, "As adventurers, we have long heard of the dangers of the Demon Whale Sea. Now that we have come to Han Hai City and someone is willing to give us a ride, there is no reason to miss the magnificent scenery of the Demon Whale Sea."

"Therefore, Captain Charles, please set sail as soon as possible to fulfill our wish."

Charles readily agreed, smiling as he said, "My three friends, let me take you to the cabin first. The journey ahead is long, and you will need a comfortable place to stay to alleviate the fatigue of the journey."

……

Time flies, and a month has already passed since we set sail.

That afternoon, on the deck.

Since setting sail, Wu Qi had stayed in the cabin and had never come out.

Even when it's mealtime, it's always Qian Gu Chang Kong who delivers the food; no one else can even touch him.

The first mate asked suspiciously, "Captain, is this guy not here for sightseeing?"

“We’ve received dozens, if not hundreds, of tourists, but none like them.”

Charles nodded solemnly, stroked his chin, and said in a deep voice, "I suspect they are not tourists. Their purpose in coming to the sea may be to hunt souls, or it may be something else."

The first mate glanced around to make sure no one was nearby before whispering, "Captain, is it possible we've been exposed? These three are here to cause us trouble."

Charles shook his head. "It doesn't seem like it. Among them, the guy who has never shown his true face is very familiar with the sea conditions. I think they are the most likely to be here to hunt souls."

The first mate hesitated slightly and asked, "Should we make a move? Those two brats are dressed quite well; they're obviously rich. As for that guy, his strength shouldn't exceed that of a Soul King, right?"

Charles has not yet made up his mind.

Bavi disguised himself so well that no one knew his identity. If he were a powerful Soul Master, once he made a move, all the crew members on the Sea Spider would likely perish at sea.

Moreover, Bavi knows the sea conditions, so even without the Sea Spider, he can still bring people back.

Inside the ship's cabin.

Qian Gu Chang Kong sat down in front of Wu Qi and laughed, "These guys think we won't know if they're up to something?"

"Heh, if they weren't still somewhat useful, this would be their burial ground."

As he spoke, he looked at Wu Qi and asked, "Brother Wu, you've used the immortal herb, yet your soul power hasn't broken through level ninety?"

There's no way around it; if the quality of soul power is too high, the benefits of rare and precious materials will be weakened.

After assessing his internal condition, Wu Qi smiled and said, "I'm only a little bit short of accumulating soul power; it'll only take the next two days."

"Keep a close eye on them. Make sure nothing goes wrong on the ship these next couple of days. If I lose this insight, it might take me a very long time to recover." (End of Chapter)
