Douluo: Dominating Douluo begins with summoning Kong Deming

Chapter 2 The truth of the matter
"Master, Master, it's time to get up."

The next morning, a knock on the door startled Ye Ling awake.

Two people died in this room last night. Even though Kong Deming removed the smell of blood from the air, Ye Ling still didn't fall asleep until late at night.

"come in."

Ye Ling yawned before getting up.

Two maids, who looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, pushed open the door and came in. One was carrying clothes in her hands, and the other was carrying a basin.

"Young Master, today is the day your Martial Soul awakens. The steward specially sent us to serve you."

The two maids spoke up.

"Li Pu is really thoughtful."

Ye Ling said with a forced smile.

Money and power can turn a person into a devil.

If it weren't for what happened last night, Ye Ling would probably have really thought that this butler was a good person.

Of course, in the original owner's memory, this butler was indeed a good person.

With the help of two maids, Ye Ling quickly got dressed.
Looking at himself in the mirror, who resembled a celestial being, Ye Ling took two deep breaths before giving instructions to the two maids.

"Let's go to the front hall."

The Ye family mansion is one of the most prestigious mansions in Hanhai City. Because they are not short of money, the entire front hall is also decorated in a magnificent style.

"Li Pu, how did you fail?"

There were only two people in the front hall at the moment, one of whom was the steward, Li Pu.

The other person sat in the main seat in the front hall, looking at Li Pu, who was sweating profusely, with a somewhat gloomy expression.

His well-fitting white robe accentuated his tall and straight figure, and his half-black, half-white hair was meticulously styled and looked very neat.

The longsword woven with gold thread at his chest further signified his extraordinary status. This man was none other than a Battle Soul Master from the Spirit Hall.

"Lord Asino, I sent men to deal with him last night, but... but..."

"Say!"

Asino, holding her teacup, glanced sideways at Li Pu.

"But the two men I sent are both dead, and their bodies have disappeared without a trace, leaving only two heads with their eyes wide open in death."

Perhaps thinking of the bloody and terrifying scene last night, Li Pu's body trembled slightly.

"Oh? We finally got rid of his parents, does someone else want a piece of the pie?"

Asino put down her teacup and suddenly smiled.

"It doesn't matter. As long as we're in Hanhai City, no one can take away anything I want."

"Yes Yes Yes!"

Upon hearing this, Li Pu, who was standing nearby, immediately began to flatter him.

"Lord Asino, you are the Bishop of the Spirit Hall of Hanhai City, and the only Spirit Master to reach the seventh ring of Spirit Saint."

"Even the city lord can only be obsequious and subservient in front of you."

Asino smiled, feeling quite pleased with Li Pu's flattery.

"However, some of this family fortune should be allocated to them, otherwise it will cause trouble if they make a fuss."

At this point, Asino's gaze turned to Li Pu, who was bowing to the side.

"Of course, you'll get your share too."

"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir."

Li Pu quickly expressed his loyalty.

For an ordinary person like Li Pu, being able to eat even a scrap of leftovers from a powerful figure was already an unattainable honor.

"Butler, the young master has arrived."

Someone at the door called out to the house.

"understood."

Li Pu responded, then whispered to Asino, "My lord, that little thing has arrived. Let's proceed as planned."

"Ah."

Asno nodded, saying somewhat nonchalantly, "I know, so you just want this kid to die while awakening his martial soul, right?"

"It was my fault that I stained the adults' hands with blood."

Li Pu hurriedly replied.

"Stop flattering me, go and bring the child in." Asino waved his hand.

"Paying a small price for such a large sum of money is acceptable."

Li Pu walked to the door, opened it, and welcomed Ye Ling in.

"Young Master, this is Bishop Asino of the Spirit Hall in Hanhai City."

Li Pu introduced Ye Ling.

Ye Ling nodded without saying anything.

Asino's expression was rather unpleasant; he hadn't expected Ye Ling to ignore him so completely.

"Young Master Ye, are you ready? I'm about to begin the Martial Soul Awakening process for you."

Although she was unhappy, Asino still tried her best to put on a friendly expression.

Anyway, this kid will be dead soon, why should he bother arguing with a dead man?
"What's the rush?"

Ye Ling shook his head and walked confidently to the main seat in the hall, ignoring the two puzzled looks on their faces.

"Asino, before you awaken my martial soul, I have some questions to ask you."

Asino's expression turned completely cold.

Since he became the bishop of the Spirit Hall in Hanhai City, no one has called his name for many years.
His name is usually followed by a suffix such as "Sir," "Bishop," or "Your Excellency."

"Nothing is more important than the young master's martial spirit awakening."

Li Pu chuckled and tried to smooth things over.

"Young Master, you can ask me anything after your Martial Soul awakens."

"Heh, will I even live long enough to awaken my Martial Soul?"

Ye Ling crossed his legs, but what he said surprised the two of them.

"Young Master, are you... are you kidding me?"

Li Pu wiped the cold sweat from his face, forcing himself to calm down.

Asino, on the other hand, didn't show any expression on her face, perhaps because she had done this kind of thing too many times.

"is it?"

Ye Ling smiled and tossed a ball into his hand.

The sphere rolled twice on the ground, and after adjusting its position, a beam of light shone from the sphere and shone on the wall of the hall.

The footage showed what they had just been plotting, and even included their voices.

"This is a little gadget I made, called a phonograph, which can record what happens."

Seeing the two people staring blankly, Ye Ling kindly offered an explanation.

Actually, this thing is a soul guide device developed by Kong Deming, and its function is similar to the video recorder in Ye Ling's previous life.

"Do you two have anything else to say?"

Ye Ling said with a half-smile.

"Isn't it better to play dumb?"

Now that he'd been exposed, Asino simply stopped pretending.

Anyway, Ye Ling is just a six-year-old child. Even if he discovers the truth, what can he do?

However, this photo-recording stone piqued his interest somewhat.

"So you killed my parents too?"

Ye Ling asked in a deep voice.

"That's right. Come to think of it, your parents are just two ordinary people. What qualifications do they have to manage so much wealth?"

"Since you miss your parents so much, why don't you go and visit them too?"

Asino grinned maliciously, and seven spirit rings—yellow, purple, purple, black, and purple—rose from beneath his feet in succession. The aura of a Soul Saint expert instantly enveloped the entire room.

"Douluo Continent is a world where the strong are respected. Kid, remember this principle well in your next life."

Asino's face showed a smug expression. In his opinion, as the strongest person in Hanhai City, he could naturally act without restraint throughout the entire city.

"Yes, the strong can indeed do whatever they want."

Ye Ling nodded, then shouted towards the sky.

"Master Kong, it's your turn to make your appearance."
