Douluo Continent: I ushered in this era

Chu Ci coughed twice to cover his embarrassment and said awkwardly, "There are some things that are not suitable to be done by outsiders, aren't they?"

Chapter 205 Long Time No See, We've Both Made Progress

Guan Yue frowned slightly, then a knowing glint flashed in her eyes. "I will carefully consider your request and give you an answer in a couple of days. You can go now!"

"Yes, Lord Guan!" Chu Ci bowed slightly and turned to leave the office.

Guan Yue watched Chu Ci leave, sighed slightly, took out a special soul-guided communicator from her pocket, and said softly, "Old Chen, you heard everything just now."

Chen Xinjie's deep voice came through the communicator, "Of course I heard it. This kid, he's already trying to cultivate his own loyal forces right after being awarded his rank. He can't wait!"

"The key is that this child doesn't try to hide anything at all. Aren't they afraid we might have bad ideas about them?" Guan Yue said with a hint of helplessness.

"Hmph, this kid's shrewd. He knows his own worth and that the future of the Temple of War depends on him," Chen Xinjie said.

Guan Yue asked softly, "So, what's the plan? Should we agree to his proposal?"

On the other side, Chen Xinjie rubbed his temples and said helplessly, "What else can we do but agree to him? At least that way we can keep an eye on things. Otherwise, if this kid does something behind our backs, my old bones can't take the shock."

"In addition, assign Chu Ci an experienced and capable deputy, and add a few War God Temple reserve geniuses to his team."

"Huh? Old Chen, we can't spoil Chu Ci like this!" Guan Yue was speechless for a moment. If this fire isn't extinguished, it looks like we'll have to add more fuel to the fire.

Chen Xinjie said meaningfully, "I want to see what this kid can do. If he can, then I can retire in peace once he's grown up."

"Hey, Lao Chen, alright, I'll make the arrangements." Guan Yue sighed, disconnected the contact, and began to make arrangements for Chu Ci's company.

Needless to say, including the geniuses Chu Ci brought along is definitely a good fit. As for the deputy position, we need to choose carefully; they need to be strong and have good military skills.

After wandering around, Chu Ci entered the training ground and saw Bai Tianzhe, Wang Jinxi, Zhang Yangzi, Wu Siduo, Luo Guixing, Chen Xuanyu, Luo Hongchen, Gao Zhen, and Xu Xinning conducting practical exercises.

Zhang Yangzi, with his sharp eyes, immediately spotted Chu Ci entering and excitedly shouted, "Boss, you're back!"

This shout drew everyone's attention to the Chu Ci (Songs of Chu), and everyone's faces lit up with excitement and joy.

"Long time no see, everyone." Chu Ci smiled as well; he had also missed his companions very much.

"Hey, Xinning, you've found your tribe so quickly," Chu Ci teased.

Xu Xinning rolled her eyes and complained, "You're so irresponsible! You brought me back, and as soon as we got off the ship, you left me behind and went off to do something mysterious with your little girlfriend. If Uncle Nangong hadn't introduced me to Siduo and the others, I don't know where I'd be wandering around now!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Ci couldn't help but feel embarrassed, realizing that what he had done was indeed not very ethical.

Fortunately, Chen Xuanyu stepped in to defuse the situation, putting his arm around Chu Ci's shoulder and saying, "Come on, let me show you how much progress we've made this year. You'll be amazed."

"Alright, I'd like to see where your confidence comes from?" Chu Ci's eyes revealed a keen interest.

……

"Now! Go! Go!" Zhang Yangzi shouted from the sidelines, his face flushed red, partly from anxiety and partly from anger.

The Chu Ci (Songs of Chu) disregarded martial ethics and resorted to sneak attacks. Zhang Yangzi was kicked off the competition stage before he could even exert his strength.

Inside the arena, Wang Jinxi charged at Chu Ci from the front, while Bai Tianzhe unleashed his malevolent energy to attack Chu Ci from behind.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Dark Moon Demon Dragon Body."

Wang Jinxi's fourth soul skill shone brightly, and the Bone Dragon King martial soul roared to the sky. His body suddenly grew taller, and darkness like an abyss spread over him, with an aura as deep and imprisoned as he rose steadily.

The souls and bones of the dead combined to form a pair of giant claws, which were worn on Wang Jinxi's hands, and covered his upper body like jade-like bone armor.

Eerie black flames ignited in Wang Jinxi's empty eyes, and violent fluctuations of soul power appeared beneath his feet. With a "boom," he shot out, his pair of savage giant claws attacking Chu Ci without mercy.

At the same time, Bai Tianzhe launched a vicious attack on Chu Ci, but when this mental attack hit Chu Ci, it was like falling into an abyss, having no effect whatsoever.

Bai Tianzhe frowned slightly, and his fourth spirit ring lit up.

Fourth Soul Skill: Spirit of the Seven Sins.

The Heaven-defying Soul Spirit created by Chu Ci—The Chapter of Seven Sins—is combined with Bai Tianzhe's Martial Soul to create a Heaven-defying Soul Skill.

Activating the fourth soul skill can transform people who possess the seven sins of pride, envy, wrath, sloth, greed, gluttony, and lust into evil spirits for his use.

Moreover, the evil spirit's strength will increase as Bai Tianzhe's soul power increases.

A door behind Bai Tianzhe opened, and a ram-headed, human-bodied evil spirit emerged from it, embodying lust.

That wasn't all. Another door opened, and a monstrous spirit with a tiger's head and a human body emerged, gorging itself.

This is the limit of what Chu Ci knows Bai Tianzhe can currently summon.

As soon as the two evil spirits appeared, Chu Ci suddenly felt some unpleasant thoughts about Gu Yue and a strong sense of hunger.

A star suddenly appeared in the sea of ​​his mind, and Chu Ci's mind immediately cleared, freeing him from the influence of evil thoughts.

Chu Ci felt a pang of fear and quickly placed the Yao Guang Sword in the sea of ​​her mind to protect her soul from invasion.

The Seven Deadly Sins Chapter spirit actually originated from a bold attempt by Chu Ci. Since the Seven Deadly Sins is a summary of evil thoughts towards people, he created a spirit unique to the Seven Deadly Sins and wanted to try to combine it with the Nightmare Martial Soul.

The result? Obviously not. After absorbing the soul spirits of the Seven Sins Chapter, the Nightmare Martial Soul's power surged, becoming even more malevolent. Even Chu Ci, with his formidable mental strength, almost fell victim to it.

Lust and gluttony struck first, instantly leaping in front of Chu Ci and launching an attack.

On the spiritual sea of ​​Chu Ci, two stars lit up one after another, and the two swords Kaiyang and Yuheng were drawn together, transforming into a golden sword tide that swept towards the evil spirits of lust and gluttony.

The gluttonous tiger's enormous head suddenly opened its mouth wide, revealing a mouth full of fangs. A suction force emanated from it, and the golden tide of swords surged uncontrollably into the tiger's mouth.

The power of gluttony lies in its ability to devour mental attacks and nourish itself.

Bai Tianzhe's third soul skill flashed, instantly killing any evil thought.

Lust instantly donned a tattered black garment, and a long scythe appeared in its hand.

With the enhancement of the third soul skill, the already oppressive mental power of lust becomes even stronger.

The power of lust is simple: even if it is torn to shreds by a stronger mental force, it will reassemble and launch another attack.

Stars and sword shadows flashed continuously in Chu Ci's eyes, and the vast spiritual power of the Spirit Abyss Realm was suddenly poured into the Kaiyang and Yuheng swords.

Chapter 206 Chu Ci Breaks the Seven Deadly Sins: Greed, and the Company Finally Responds

Bai Tianzhe's fourth soul skill is very strong, but the gap in mental strength cannot be bridged.

A surge of powerful spiritual energy at the Spirit Abyss Realm level poured into the golden sword tide. The next moment, "Boom—" the Gluttonous Evil Spirit was directly burst open, turning into a stream of black light and returning to Bai Tianzhe's body.

The death of Gluttony made Bai Tianzhe's face turn pale. "Spirit Abyss Realm? How is that possible?"

At this moment, Wang Jinxi's Bone Dragon Claw was already in front of Chu Ci. Chu Ci let out a low shout and used two swords, Kaiyang and Yuheng, to fly towards the Lustful Evil Spirit, leaving behind a trail of sword shadows.

At the same time, the Wanli Flame ignited on Chu Ci's right arm, and five dark golden blades shot out. The Wanli Flame, compressed to its limit, merged and compressed to the extreme, and in an instant, five dark golden and red blade lights flashed past like rainbows.

"Boom—" A terrifying energy storm and a mental storm rose up at the same time, leaving the arena battered and in a mess.

Wang Jinxi's tall figure flew backward, his lust trapped in a cage formed by the golden tide of swords.

Chu Ci had just breathed a sigh of relief after surviving the attack from both sides when suddenly, two chain sickles attacked from the left and right, taking advantage of his exhausted strength and the lack of new strength.

The left scythe is black lightning, the right scythe is red storm, and it also carries the power to arouse evil thoughts unique to Bai Tianzhe's Nightmare Martial Soul. This is the powerful force created in imitation of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

If Chu Ci were to withstand this attack head-on, he would also suffer a severe injury from the beast, but he would be unable to react in time, while the beast would be able to react in time.

A long, drawn-out dragon roar resounded, and Tianzhu suddenly appeared behind Chu Ci. Its mouth spewed forth a blazing flame of utmost yang energy, instantly extinguishing the incoming thunder and storm.

This is not just a suppression in terms of level; Yama's thunder and storm attributes are far inferior to Tianzhu's ultimate attributes.

"Hmm?" Chu Ci's gaze suddenly shifted downwards, only to see a wisp of black lightning splashed on his sleeve, wriggling as if it were alive, firmly adhering to the sleeve, silently accumulating energy and growing stronger.

Chu Ci looked up and saw that behind Bai Tianzhe, who was holding the Soul Weapon Yama, a fox-headed, human-bodied evil spirit had appeared out of nowhere.

greedy!

This evil spirit is Bai Tianzhe's biggest gain this year.

Its power is silent and swarming, clinging tightly to the enemy. Its greed compels it to stop only when the enemy is completely consumed.

Once you are tainted by an attack imbued with the evil spirit of greed, it will accompany you for life until your death unless you have sufficient mental strength to remove it.

Chu Ci moved nimbly, slightly shifting her body to dodge Wang Jinxi's thrusting spear. Her spiritual power, at the Spirit Abyss Realm, swept across her entire body, severing the lingering influence of greed within her.

Bai Tianzhe sensed the power of the greedy evil spirit disappear from Chu Ci's body, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and then he controlled Yama to attack Chu Ci.

The gun in Wang Jinxi's hand shattered into bone fragments, then reformed into a sword. He leaped, then turned around in mid-air and slashed down at close range.

The Heavenly Candle transformed into a longsword, which Chu Ci wielded, easily parrying Wang Jinxi's strike.

Then, with a flick of his wrist, he swept aside the bones of the dead, his sword moving like a dragon, powerful yet agile, directly blocking Yama's pair of scythes.

Chu Ci's Heavenly Candle trembled slightly, and the next second, an overwhelming sword beam slashed towards Wang Jinxi and Bai Tianzhe.

Wang Jinxi braced himself on the ground, his third spirit ring flashing as he leaped backward.

Chu Ci didn't even lower his head. A pair of Heavenly Candle Divine Armor boots suddenly appeared on his feet. He stomped the ground and crushed the bone dragon spikes that were about to emerge from the ground.

Wang Jinxi was shocked and formed a bone shield from the bones in his hands to block in front of himself and Bai Tianzhe.

"game over!"

Chu Ci drifted to Wang Jinxi and Bai Tianzhe's ears, and before they could react, Chu Ci moved lightly and vanished from the spot.

The next moment, Chu Ci stood in mid-air, and with a gentle wave of the Heavenly Candle, countless sword beams instantly converged into a giant sword, carrying the sword intent of "I am the only one," and crashed down fiercely.

At the same time, Wang Jinxi roared and raised his shield to defend, but to no avail. The all-powerful sword intent of "I Am the Sword" could not be resisted, even by the bones of the dead.

"Boom—" Thick smoke rose, and Wang Jinxi and Bai Tianzhe lay on the ground, unable to get up.

Chu Ci landed gracefully, sheathed his sword, and stood up, smiling as he said, "Not bad, everyone has made great progress."

"I feel like I've worked really hard this year, but why do I feel like the gap between us is getting bigger and bigger?" Chen Xuanyu, who was watching from the audience, said dejectedly. He had also exchanged a few moves with Chu Ci, but Chu Ci had slammed him to the ground with one hand.

"A six-ring Soul Emperor? How did he do that?" Luo Hongchen grabbed his hair, looking completely devastated. A six-ring Soul Emperor at the age of fifteen? This is unprecedented, and perhaps never to be repeated.

Chu Ci smiled calmly and winked at everyone, "Practice hard, there will be a surprise in a few days."

……

Three days later, a message from Guan Yue sent Chu Ci rushing to his office in a panic.

As soon as Chu Ci entered Guan Yue's office, she asked expectantly, "How did it go? Palace Master Guan, what did Palace Master Chen say? Did he agree?"

Guan Yue waved her hand, gesturing for Chu Ci to sit down first. Then she took out a document and said gently, "After careful consideration by Lao Chen and me, we have finally decided to approve your request."

As she spoke, Guan Yue handed the document in her hand to Chu Ci, "These are some basic arrangements made by the War God Temple for the company you are forming."

Chu Ci excitedly took the document and began to read it carefully.
