Douluo Continent: An Adventure Begins in Wuhun City

Author: That Star Cat

Summary:

Chen Yao, who transmigrated to the Douluo Continent, became a low-level Soul Master of the Spirit Hall. He originally intended to be content with the status quo and live a life of pleasure in the city, but unexpectedly, on a rainy night, he met Bibi Dong, the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, who was about to bid farewell to Yu Xiaogang.

This gave Chen Yao, who had been resigned to his fate, a glimmer of hope. It seemed that even he, this rotten mud, could shine.

then……

Chen Yao: Bibi Dong, do me a favor.

Chen Yao: Bibi Dong, get me a spirit ring, and while you're at it, get me a spirit bone too.

Chen Yao: What? You don't want to? You don't want to see Yu Xiaogang get into trouble either, do you? Hehehe!

At first, Chen Yao was secretly pleased with himself, thinking that he had grasped the lifeline of this saintess. However, what he discovered next was beyond his expectations.

Chen Yao: "Bibi Dong, what are you doing..."

Chapter 1 Chen Yao

Wuhun Temple.

A slightly secluded square.

The sun is blazing overhead.

A young man with long, flowing hair, handsome features, and an ethereal air was sitting on a recliner under the shade of a tree.

Every now and then, a few young men dressed in the uniforms of the Spirit Hall servants would pass by carrying heavy loads. When they came to the tree, they would put down what they were carrying and greet the young men.

"Greetings, Deacon Chen."

The young man nodded casually with a blank expression. After the servants left, he sipped his teacup and glanced at his pocket watch.

Looking at the slow-moving second hand on the watch, the boy's eyes were filled with impatience.

The boy's name was Chen Yao.

He wasn't originally from Douluo Continent; it's just that in his previous life, he was there on his thirtieth birthday.

He spent a fortune and invited his close friend, his younger sister, to join him for a thrilling and intense Inpa game.

As it turned out, on the way, they were fortunate enough to be blessed by the god of dump trucks.

After waking up, I found myself here, as an embryo.

When he was born and learned about this world, he was initially very excited and planned to follow in the footsteps of his predecessors, to conquer the heavens, the earth, and even the air, and eventually become a god, obtain a divine position, ascend to the divine realm, and gain eternal life.

This excitement lasted until he awakened his martial spirit at the age of six, after which it came to an abrupt end.

His martial spirit was actually not weak; on the contrary, it was quite peculiar. It was a pure black mass, similar to some kind of energy, without a specific form.

After summoning his martial spirit, the darkness will solidify beneath his feet. This dark energy is filled with evil and sinister energy.

At this point in time, evil spirit masters have not yet been defined; only those who have committed heinous crimes are thrown into the Killing City.

Otherwise, Chen Yao might have been captured by the Spirit Hall immediately after awakening.

After awakening, Chen Yao also discovered that he could summon two dark tentacles from this darkness, similar to octopus tentacles.

These two tentacles are like another extension of his body, moving at his whim, even more agile than his hands.

Furthermore, the form of the tentacles is somewhere between illusory energy and physical matter; whether they are hard or soft, they change according to his thoughts.

It is a very magical martial spirit.

At that time, this peculiar energy spirit even alarmed the Spirit Hall's Soul Douluo, Elder Ghost.

Ghost believed that Chen Yao's martial spirit was compatible with his own and wanted to take him as a disciple.

They ordered someone to bring Chen Yao back to Wuhun City overnight.

Although Chen Yao's initial soul power was only level 4, which was not impressive, it was decent and Ghost Douluo taught Chen Yao carefully.

However, Chen Yao's performance was never satisfactory. He was 12 years old when he finally reached level 10 and obtained his first soul ring.

Perhaps this would be considered genius by others, but in the eyes of Ghost, a Soul Douluo, it was merely mediocre.

In the end, Ghost could only feel regret in his heart for Chen Yao's martial soul and the effort and countless precious medicinal herbs he had put into Chen Yao over the years.

Chen Yao was casually sent to the outskirts of the Spirit Hall to serve as a minor steward, in charge of managing the miscellaneous servants of the Spirit Hall.

In his previous life, he was a pleasure-seeker. In this life, he persisted in cultivation for so many years without the slightest slackening, but he did not see the results he wanted. The passion in his heart was also worn away, and he began to give up on himself. He simply quit and settled down to be a minor official.

Although he was considered utterly useless by the ghosts, he was a genius on the outskirts of the Spirit Hall.

Relying on his dark martial soul and a soul power of up to level 11, he acted arrogantly and domineeringly in the outer areas, accepting bribes and indulging in revelry and debauchery in the bustling streets of Martial Soul City.

This kind of life continued until he was twenty years old, which is now.

During this period, he hardly cultivated seriously for a single day, but relying on his martial soul itself and the natural increase in soul power, he is now a powerful expert who is about to break through to level 20 Great Soul Master, which is simply terrifying.

He didn't know how long these happy days would last, but he hoped they could continue indefinitely.

As for whether Tang San will destroy the Spirit Hall in the future?

That's for the future; Tang Hao doesn't even know Ah Yin yet.

At worst, he can just report Tang Hao to the Spirit Hall about his presence in Holy Soul Village.

What he needs to do now is to enjoy life to the fullest. People should live in the moment. If you worry about what will happen in the future every day, how can you live?

Just as Chen Yao was staring intently at the pocket watch in his hand, hoping that he would get off work soon, a figure silently walked up to Chen Yao's side.

"Hey, Chen Yao, you're keeping track of the time again. Are you itching to go to one of your lovers' houses for some fun?"

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Chen Yao looked up at the person who had entered.

The newcomer was an old man, dressed in the same butler's uniform as Chen Yao. His face was full of wrinkles, with shifty eyes and a lewd expression. When he smiled, he revealed a mouthful of yellow teeth, and a foul stench wafted from him.

"Old Deng, what's up?"

Chen Yao glanced at the old man indifferently, clearly having no intention of discussing his friendly female relationship with him, and went straight to the point.

"Hey Chen Yao, my name is Huang Yi. You can call me Lao Huang, but why do you keep calling me Lao Deng? I don't even have the surname Deng!"

Old Huang asked with a curious look.

"This is a respectful term for old men like you in my hometown. Are you alright? If not, I'm leaving."

Chen Yao glanced at his pocket watch and realized it was finally time to leave work. Too lazy to argue with Lao Huang any longer, he made a move to get up and leave.

"Hey, wait, wait, have you ever planned to do a job today?"

Seeing that Chen Yao was really about to leave, Lao Huang had no choice but to quickly explain his purpose.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yao stopped and turned to look at Lao Huang with surprise in his eyes.

"I remember you just got your salary a few days ago, right? You've already spent it all? Are you going to earn some extra money?"

After hearing this, Lao Huang hesitated for a moment before finally revealing the truth with a forced laugh.

"Sigh, I've got my eye on the top courtesan at the Drunken Spring Pavilion, but that woman costs 20 gold soul coins a night, like she's inlaid with gold. But I can't let go of that, so I'll just have to get some more."

Chen Yao nodded in deep agreement upon hearing this. He had also seen the top courtesan, who was indeed quite beautiful. No wonder she had captivated the old man so much that he was willing to come out at the beginning of the month to earn extra money.

The so-called extra income was that they would pool their resources to select some weak and unremarkable individuals on the only road outside Wuhun City and make a business with no initial investment.

While it's unlikely to make you rich overnight, it's a safe bet, and you can make a little money whenever you can, with occasional small surprises.

After all, the meager income of the outer deacons of the Spirit Hall was simply not enough to support Chen Yao and the other parasites of the Spirit Hall, who spent their days indulging in drinking, gambling, and prostitution in the bustling area of ​​Spirit City!

"Alright, we'll meet outside the city after nightfall."

After a moment's thought, Chen Yao agreed. Although he didn't frequent the top courtesans in brothels, the mistresses he kept cost him a considerable amount each month, so it was always good to have some extra money in case of need.

Chapter 2 Men and Women in the Restaurant

After Lao Huang left, Chen Yao saw that it was still early, so he didn't immediately start preparing. Instead, he called over a few familiar faces from the servants and headed out of the Spirit Hall.

The group, dressed in the uniforms of the Spirit Hall, swaggered down the streets of Spirit City. Even the servants following behind Chen Yao looked imposing at that moment.

When the pedestrians on the street saw Chen Yao and his group, they all stepped aside to make way for them, while casting envious glances at them.

There was no way around it; in Spirit City, the Spirit Hall was the highest authority. Even the Spirit Hall's servants were considered superior to the ordinary people in the city.

The leader of this small team, in particular, wore a medal of a Spirit Hall steward, which made him even more desirable.

Feeling the envious gazes around them, the servants behind Chen Yao were all smug and arrogant.

And so, the group of people arrived at the nearest restaurant in a grand procession.

That's going to be hard work, so Chen Yao needs to eat and drink his fill first.

As for the servants he brought along, they were his money bags, there specifically to pay him. In exchange, Chen Yao would turn a blind eye to their slacking off and other underhanded tactics.

As soon as he entered the restaurant, the rich aroma of the dishes wafted over, whetting Chen Yao's appetite.

The servants, who had worked hard all day, could not resist such temptation and quickly found a table by the window to sit down.

As soon as they sat down, a rather burly servant with thick eyebrows and big eyes started shouting loudly.

"Waiter, bring me all the best wine and food! If you make our Steward Chen unhappy, I'll smash up your shop!"

If this burly man were alone, he wouldn't dare to do this, but Chen Yao is here now.

Chen Yao is an outer steward of the Spirit Hall. It is said that he has a master-disciple relationship with the legendary Soul Douluo Elder. Moreover, he is a Soul Master who is only 20 years old and is about to break through to level 20. He has a bright future.

With Chen Yao by his side, the burly man felt incredibly confident.

Chen Yao wasn't annoyed to see the big man taking advantage of him. He had received a lot of benefits from these servants, so satisfying their vanity was nothing.

Besides, he has been in Wuhun City for so many years and knows the city's layout like the back of his hand. He knows where not to mess with him and can still protect this slightly secluded restaurant.

"It turns out to be the esteemed gentlemen of the Spirit Hall gracing our humble establishment with their presence. It truly honors our humble shop. Rest assured, gentlemen, I will immediately serve you our shop's signature dishes, ensuring you will thoroughly enjoy your meal!"

Upon hearing the burly man's shout, a young man dressed as a servant with a white turban over his shoulder hurriedly came forward, smiling obsequiously.

"Hurry up, don't keep us waiting!"
