Douluo: Dominating Douluo begins with summoning Kong Deming

Chapter 261 A Long Time No See

Chapter 261 A Long Time No See
The same hotel wasn't just frequented by Shrek's group; it also housed teachers and students from other academies.

Among them were also contestants participating in the individual competition, after all, the 100,000-year-old soul bone of Butian Pavilion was simply too attractive.

In this continent-wide advanced soul master competition, four academies have the highest popularity.

Three of the colleges occupy an area on one floor of the hotel.

Besides the Heaven Dou Royal Soul Master Advanced Academy, there is also the unexpectedly rising Butian Academy.

The last one is the Star Luo Empire Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy.

"Long time no see, Vina."

Just as Yu Xiaogang and Flander were having a falling out, a familiar face arrived at the Butian Academy.

"Jiu Jiu, it's been so long since I've seen you!"

Vina stepped forward and gave the woman, whose appearance was no less than her own, a bear hug.

Even Ye Ling couldn't help but glance a few more times at the turbulent scene between the two.

As he gets older and his blood and energy become more vigorous, he sometimes experiences physical urges.

"Ahem, it really has been a long time."

Ye Ling coughed twice to cover up her embarrassment as she looked at Xu Jiujiu in front of her.

He hadn't heard from Xu Jiujiu in a long time since he arranged for her to go to the Star Luo Empire a few years ago.

"Young Master, what you're saying is utterly heartless!"

After a long pause, he snorted and then plopped down next to Ye Ling.

"It's been five or six years, and the young master hasn't even thought to visit me in the Star Luo Empire."

As she spoke, she looked up at Ye Ling with a resentful expression.

"I'm just a weak woman, and in a place like the Star Luo Empire, the young master never even contacts me."

"You said all that nice stuff before, but you just didn't value me!"

Even Ye Ling felt a little embarrassed smelling the faint fragrance emanating from Xu Jiujiu.

At that time, he was short-handed and had not yet taken control of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Xu Jiujiu's trip to the Star Luo Empire was partly motivated by a desire to make some casual moves, and partly by a mutual support mechanism for Gengjin City.

"I was planning to contact you after the competition."

"There have been too many things going on these past few years, and I haven't been able to pay attention to the Star Luo Empire."

Ye Ling, rarely embarrassed by such comments, could only sigh lightly on his long, smooth forehead before adopting the demeanor of a young master and letting the matter drop.

"That's just how the young master is; he uses people when he needs them and discards them when he doesn't!"

After a long while, she touched her forehead, her tone tinged with grievance.

"I'll find a way to make it up to you after the match."

Ye Ling rubbed his temples.

"Let's get down to business, and also the current situation of the Star Luo Empire."

When it came to serious matters, Xu Jiujiu's expression indeed became much more serious, and his tone was no longer as carefree as before.

"The forces of evil spirit masters are infiltrating the Star Luo Empire."

Xu Jiujiu's first words caused Ye Ling and the others to change their expressions slightly.

"I was ordered by the young master to infiltrate the Xu family under the guise of a missing member of the Xingguan Xu family."

This was a bit of a mouthful, and Ye Ling's expression was also subtle.

Xu Jiujiu is naturally a member of the Xingguan Xu family, just not from this era.

However, having the same martial soul inheritance, no one would doubt her identity.

"After returning to the Xu family, due to my outstanding talent and strength, I quickly became a core member and successfully got close to the Star Luo royal family."

"Jiujiu, what is your current strength?"

Ye Ling couldn't help but interject.

Level 66.

He paused for a long time before speaking.

"Since breaking through to level 60, my cultivation speed has slowed down considerably."

Ye Ling nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

When it was first summoned, Xu Jiujiu's soul power level was level 58.

Having increased his soul power by eight levels over the years, it seems that he hasn't wasted his time.

In terms of talent, Xu Jiujiu is definitely inferior to Vina, who possesses twin martial souls.

Vina is now a seventh-ring Soul Saint. "After this competition ends, the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor skull will be your reward."

After thinking it over, Ye Ling quickly made a decision.

Xu Jiujiu's martial soul is the Star Crown, which combines support and control, making it a perfect match for the Blue Silver Emperor Skull.

By utilizing the effects of the 100,000-year-old soul bone, Xu Jiujiu might even be able to break through to the seventh-ring Soul Saint realm.

Since he doesn't care about it anyway, why not use it to strengthen his subordinates?

"Really?"

Xu Jiujiu's face showed excitement, and she hugged Ye Ling in front of her tightly.

"Thank you very much, Young Master!"

"Alright, let go of me now, let's get back to business."

Ye Ling lightly patted Xu Jiujiu's arm and said expressionlessly.

Xu Jiujiu's pretty face flushed red, but she quickly covered it up.

"Where were you talking about?"

She asked somewhat shyly.

"I just mentioned that you used the Xu family's connections to get close to the Star Luo royal family."

Vina chuckled to herself.

"Because of my talent, the royal family arranged for me to teach at the Star Luo Empire Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy."

"In the Star Luo Empire's Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy, there is a royal retainer who rarely appears in public."

At this point, Xu Jiujiu's expression became even more serious.

"This person has never revealed his spirit rings, but judging from the respect the royal family showed him, he should be a titled Douluo of a considerable level."

"Although it wasn't very clear, I did sense a faint aura of an evil soul master on this unfamiliar titled Douluo."

Xu Jiujiu, after all, came from an era ten thousand years in the future, an era in which evil spirit masters ran rampant.

Their perception and understanding of evil spirit masters far surpasses that of people in this era.

Since she was able to discover the clues, it seems that this person's identity as an evil spirit master is now certain.

"The Heaven Dou Empire is our territory, and those ducal kingdoms are controlled by the Spirit Hall."

A cold smile appeared on Ye Ling's lips.

"It seems that these evil soul masters have set their sights on the Star Luo Empire."

The Star Luo Empire is a centralized country, making it extremely difficult for major, overt forces like the Spirit Hall or the Heaven-Mending Pavilion to infiltrate it.

Only a lurking force like the Holy Spirit Cult could infiltrate to some extent.

"Indeed."

Xu Jiujiu nodded slightly.

"However, without the help of key figures, the Holy Spirit Cult's infiltration of the Star Luo Empire is not serious."

"How can it not be serious?"

After pondering for a moment, Ye Ling suddenly smiled.

"The fact that the Star Luo Empire is a monolithic entity is not in the interest of our Heaven-Mending Pavilion."

As Ye Ling gradually gains control of the Heaven Dou Empire, his attention will also turn to the Star Luo Empire.

"What does the young master mean?"

Somewhat unsure of Ye Ling's intentions, Xu Jiujiu tentatively asked.

"I haven't come up with a specific plan yet, but I have thought of someone."

Ye Ling touched his chin.
