Douluo Continent: I can nurture soul beasts and even perform super evolution.

Chapter 107 South Gate Master, do you agree? Or do you agree?
"But Grandpa... who is that boy? Why is he so calm in front of a group of terrifying beasts, and even gives the impression that he is in charge?" An Lengye calmed down before suddenly remembering this.

"I don't know either. Perhaps it's an incarnation of one of the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts." An Lie shook his head, looking at the Anyang City guards who had noticed the anomaly and came to investigate, his expression filled with emotion.

It's like I've stumbled into the Dragon Palace by mistake.

The two of them were like huskies that had wandered into a pack of wolves, trembling with fear.

However, this kind of serendipitous encounter, with its subtle sense of glimpsing a corner of the world's truth, is truly irresistible.

"Old Master An, where have you been so late?" A city guard, clearly familiar with him, asked with a smile.

"What was that noise just now? It was so loud, I thought it was an avalanche," the other person said, scratching his head as he looked around and, finding nothing amiss.

The grandfather and grandson exchanged a glance, keeping the secret to themselves.

These true big shots might not care, but if they reveal anything, it could lead to their deaths.

"Perhaps it was the sound of thunder. This sudden snowstorm was truly terrifying, and it scared my granddaughter and me so much that we quickly came back..." An Lie changed the subject.

"Yeah, this awful weather..." The guard, without suspecting anything, echoed the sentiment.

……

Dragon City.

A major city in the Heavenly Soul Empire.

Located in the northeastern part of the map, bordering the far north, Su Wen, Xue Di, and Bing Di, who had transformed into a little girl, arrived in this prosperous city in just a few hours.

This is quite in line with the size of the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, after all, among all the ferocious beasts, she is probably the smallest one.

"From north to south, huh? There's such a thing about the Heavenly Dragon Gate." Su Wen found out the location of the Earthly Dragon Gate—north of the city.

"Have you prepared everything I asked you to?" Su Wen glanced at Hyotei.

"Mm," the little girl replied solemnly.

However, her small face was taut, which was quite different from her appearance.

"Let's go then."

"Earth Dragon Gate~"

A few minutes later, I looked at a plaque.

Su Wen nodded slightly.

Two disciples dressed in brown robes stood before the gate. One of them stepped forward and politely asked, "May I ask who you are, and what brings you to our sect?"

"I have something to discuss with your sect leader," Su Wen said with a smile.

"Looking for our sect leader?" The two disciples exchanged a glance, their expressions surprised. The reason why Dragon City is called Dragon City is because it has two major gates, one in the south and one in the north. Although the Earth Dragon Gate is gradually declining, its sect leader, Nan Shuishui, is still a peak Soul Douluo.

"Alright, honored guest, please wait a moment while I go and report." The disciple didn't give a definitive answer, glancing at Su Wen suspiciously before turning and quickly leaving.

"Will this work? Su Wen, let's just charge in." Hyotei said irritably, shaking her braid and putting her hands on her hips.

"The only one who would dare to make me and Xue Nu wait for an announcement is Di Longmen Nan Shui Shui."

"Cough cough cough..." Su Wen looked at the increasingly wary face of the remaining Earth Dragon Sect disciple and felt embarrassed. He said irritably, "We're here to trade, not to rob and plunder like bandits! Do you still want to break through to the Heavenly Tribulation?!"

"I want to..." Hyotei said weakly.

Not long after.

Another disciple rushed over.

"Sect Leader, please see me."

……

At the end of the ancient, rustic corridor.

Behind a screen.

Su Wen finally met this middle-aged beauty, the true ruler of the Earth Dragon Gate, and the most powerful figure in Dragon City.

But this important figure looked nervous, his gaze constantly shifting between the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress behind Su Wen.

Her senses weren't very sharp.

However, she could also faintly sense a violent, ancient, and lingering aura emanating from both of them, an aura that seemed to come from an unparalleled ferocious beast, making it difficult for her to breathe.

I initially thought it was just some distant relative trying to curry favor, and I planned to see them briefly and then send them away, but I never expected...

"Master of the South Gate."

Su Wen smiled and nodded. "Your name is... Su Wen?"

Nan Shuishui's eyebrows were tightly furrowed.

What a strange combination.

An ordinary human boy, and two ferocious beasts (questionable)?
"Simply state your purpose," Su Wen said with a smile. "I'm here to make a deal." As he spoke, he glanced at the loli Ice Emperor, who, despite not being particularly talkative, obediently took out a crimson lotus flower and handed it to Su Wen.

"This is our sincerity."

Su Wen opened his palm.

The lotus floats in my palm, its petals unfolding and blooming.

It resembled a delicate lotus flower, stained with fresh blood.

"A ten-thousand-year-old blood lotus?!"

Although its name is stained with blood, it is not actually a demonic entity.

Named simply by color.

It blooms only in the core area of ​​the far north and is extremely rare. A typical blood lotus that grows for a hundred years has only one layer of petals, and one that grows for a thousand years has two layers... Looking at this blood lotus with three layers of petals and almost perfect quality, Nan Shuishui's pupils trembled.

The Blood Lotus's effect lies in evolving martial souls.

As long as you swallow a single petal, there is a certain chance of evolution. Even if you don't evolve, your martial soul will subtly improve and become stronger.

The focus is on evolution, not mutation, which means it is controllable and will definitely develop in a positive direction.

Although consuming one or two hundred-year-old or thousand-year-old blood lotuses won't cause a dramatic change in your martial soul, this is your martial soul, not soul power. Even the slightest improvement is almost equivalent to raising your talent ceiling.

"Goo~"

Nan Shuishui's throat bobbed.

The gift that Su Wen presented at the beginning was truly too precious.

She remembered an auction held in the Heavenly Soul Capital not long ago, where a thousand-year-old blood lotus appeared. It was bought by a mysterious person for 12 million gold soul coins, so its rarity was self-evident.

"What...do you want to exchange?"

She struggled to look away, trying her best not to look at the ancient blood lotus, and swallowed hard.

"Exchange it for a prime piece of land belonging to your esteemed family."

"The ore in the cave beneath your Cold Spring..."

Su Wen said with a smile.

"You mean... the secret realm inside the gate?" Nan Shuishui asked in surprise.

She imagined many things to exchange, and to put it bluntly, the ten-thousand-year-old blood lotus was enough to buy her life. But she never expected that the other party would want to exchange those ores.
This is something only the successive leaders of the Earth Dragon Gate know.

There is a cold spring inside the sect that can nourish the physical bodies of the disciples.

Beneath the icy spring lies a cave filled with extremely cold minerals. Even those at the Title Douluo level dare not venture deeper. After she took over as sect leader, she naturally attempted to explore it, but not only did she gain nothing, the chill penetrating her body nearly caused a tragedy, so she rarely went down there again...

However, they came specifically to this place to make a deal.

Could it be that there's another explanation?

"What's your plan, Nanmen?"

Su Wen's smile remained unchanged.

"Perhaps... allow me some time to think it over, and I will give you all an answer tomorrow?" Nan Shuishui said cautiously.

"Ha ha……"

"I've shown you enough sincerity, but does Master Nan think that just because we're sitting here, we'll give you another chance to refuse?"

Su Wen's smile slowly faded.

Two terrifying auras gradually rose behind them.

"Master of the South Gate."

"Do you agree? Or... agree?"

P.S.: That's all! Time for bed~
