Douluo Continent: Now that everyone's been reborn, who's still going to be a simp?

Yan knew that without Yue Guan's soul power and Gui Mei's spiritual power to assist him, he would not be able to withstand that enormous and evil power with his current strength.

"Yan, it seems you've completely absorbed it. How does it feel?"

"Yes, I can now control that evil power."

Yan stood up, looked at Yue Guan and Gui Mei, his eyes filled with gratitude.

"Teacher, Elder Ghost, thank you. Without your help, I would not have been able to withstand that immense evil power."

Yue Guan smiled and nodded, feeling deeply gratified.

“You did a great job. Although the power of the Dark Demon God Pearl is evil, as long as you can control it, it can become a great help to you.”

The ghost nodded, and said with some anticipation:

"Unleash your evil power and let me see."

"it is good."

Yan took a deep breath and extended his right hand.

An inexplicable sense of oppression quietly permeated the surrounding air.

Immediately afterwards, a faint black mist rose from Yan's palm, quickly gathering to form a deep and mysterious black vortex.

The center of the vortex was like an endless abyss, swallowing all the light around it, leaving only a bottomless darkness.

The black vortex suddenly burst into flames, and the flames were also black.

Both Yue Guan and Gui Mei felt the powerful force of the black flame.

They could clearly feel the heat and evil contained within the flames.

The ghost said with some excitement:

"Just as I expected, after you absorbed that evil power, you obtained black flames. If I'm not mistaken, these black flames do not conflict with the original flame power within you."

Yan nodded.

“Elder Ghost, you are right. This black flame is composed of my spiritual power, fire power, and evil power. It can not only burn the opponent's spiritual power, but also devour their soul power. I call it Soul-Devouring Black Flame.”

"Very good. This evil power is powerful, but it can also easily lead one astray. You must use it with caution."

"Yes, I know. Thank you for reminding me."

Yue Guan smiled and said:

"Yan, that pill is the essence of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. Although it's not its soul ring, it should still help you improve a lot."

"Hmm, I feel my strength has increased significantly. And my soul power has increased by three levels."

Upon hearing this, Yue Guan and Gui Mei both showed expressions of shock. They had not expected that Yan's soul power could increase so much.

Yue Guan said happily:

"Now that you're level 69, it won't be long before you can hunt spirit beasts and obtain your seventh spirit ring."

"Ah."

Yan was also looking forward to the upcoming seventh spirit ring.

It was late at night.

Seeing that Yan had woken up safely, the two elders then went back to their rooms to rest.

Early the next morning, Xie Yue arrived at the Yue residence.

He heard that Yan had returned yesterday, so he came to see him today.

Xie Yue was somewhat excited to see Yan again after two and a half years.

"Brother Yan, you're really not being fair. We haven't seen each other for so long, and you didn't even let me know you were coming back."

"I just got back yesterday. Something came up and I was just about to come see you today."

In order to catch up with Yan, Xie Yue has been cultivating even more diligently over the past two and a half years.

Yan noticed the changes in Xie Yue; he had become more mature and resolute.

Xie Yue also sensed that Yan's aura had become even stronger.

"Come on, let's go to my house, we can have a good talk."

"Okay, I'll go and tell Elder Ju."

Afterwards, Yan and Xie Yue went to Xie Yue's residence together.

The two of them walked and talked.

Xie Yue asked:

"Brother Yan, it's been over two years. What level is your soul power now?"

"Level 69."

Yan had no intention of hiding anything and told him the truth.

"What?! Level 69?!"

Xie Yue was stunned and found it unbelievable.

He had heard Hu Liena say that it was difficult to improve one's soul power while training in the City of Slaughter.

Even so, Yan still managed to level up more than ten times in the past two years.

He didn't know how Yan had managed to do it.

"Brother Yan, you are really amazing. It seems I will never catch up with you in this lifetime." Xie Yue shook his head helplessly and said with a wry smile.

Yan patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't underestimate yourself. I heard from Elder Ju that you've already broken through to level sixty-two. Isn't that pretty impressive?"

"Compared to you, I'm still far behind. I really want to know what you've been through these past two years."

"Let's go, we can talk slowly."

Afterwards, the two chatted about their experiences over the past two years.

Xie Yue couldn't help but sigh. Yan's experiences were like a fantasy. He had absorbed two mysterious pills one after another. No wonder his soul power could improve so rapidly.

The two soon arrived at Xie Yue's mansion.

This is the shared residence of Xie Yue and his sister Hu Liena.

Although this mansion is not as luxurious as the Yue Mansion, it is still not a place that ordinary people can afford to live in.

"Brother Yan, Nana isn't in the manor these days, so I'm living alone. Just treat this place as your own home, and do whatever you like."

"Great. I can move into my own mansion in the next couple of days."

Yan guessed that Hu Liena might be receiving secret training from Bibi Dong to help her curb her excessively overflowing murderous aura.

Yan stayed at Xie Yue's house for two days before moving into his own residence.

This place is very close to Xie Yue's mansion, and the size and layout are similar.

Yan didn't care about any of that; as long as he could return to Wuhun City and have a place to stay, that was enough.

~~~~

A month passed by in a hurry.

On this day, Bibi Dong summoned Elders Ju and Gui, as well as Yan and Xie Yue, to the Papal Palace for a meeting.

Bibi Dong seemed to be in a good mood and smiled:

"Elders, I have summoned you here today because I have an important task to entrust to you."

"Please give your orders, Your Majesty."

"According to the intelligence Yan brought back, the existence of the Power Clan of Heaven Dou City and the Divine Craftsman Lou Gao of the Star Luo Empire poses a great threat to the Spirit Hall and Soul Masters. Therefore, I want you to take people to eliminate them."

The two elders exchanged a glance.

They had been looking forward to this operation for a long time.

"Your Holiness, we will certainly complete the mission."

Bibi Dong nodded in satisfaction and turned her gaze to Yan and Xie Yue.

“In the past few years, Yan and Xie Yue have both grown a lot. It’s time for them to face even more severe tests. Yan, you and Elder Ju will go together to wipe out the Power Clan. Xie Yue, you and Elder Gui will go to Kangxin City to retrieve Lou Gao’s head.”

"Yes."

The two answered in unison, both somewhat excited.

"Please remember, elders, this is a secret mission. Do not leave any evidence for the two great empires."

"As ordered."

"Then you all go down and prepare to depart as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

Afterwards, the group left the Papal Palace.

Everyone is looking forward to this mission.
