Douluo Amon: I am the Heavenly Venerable of the Dragon King

Looking at the comments, Cai Xukun laughed and said, "After all, this is my hobby as a streamer. If I didn't do this, I would have to go back to my hometown and keep struggling, and..."

As he spoke, Cai Xukun flexed his arm and said, "Don't let my appearance fool you, I'm actually a powerful Soul Master. Who knows who would beat a mere Evil Soul Master if they met me?"

The barrage of comments rose again.

"Come on, someone like a streamer, at most he's a Great Soul Master, otherwise why would he be in this industry?"

"Pah! How could my brother be just a mere Great Soul Master? He should at least be a Soul Venerable, or even a Soul Master."

"That's right, that's right, I really miss watching you play basketball, brother. Can you play one more time for your little sister?"

"Brainless fan? At the streamer's age, reaching Soul Master level is still a possibility, but Soul Grandmaster? He's old enough to go to Shrek Academy by then."

"Indeed, there is a very high probability that he will be a Great Soul Master. Soul Venerable is not very realistic, and Soul Sect is just a dream."

For most ordinary people, reaching the Soul Master level at eighteen is already considered genius-level. As for Shrek Academy? That's too far out of reach for them.

(In the original work, the previous champions in the Tianhai Federation Grand Competition who were in their twenties and were instantly defeated by Shrek Academy were Soul Masters and Soul Grandmasters. These people were considered geniuses by outsiders, so this setting was used.)

"You'd better be careful, streamer. Who knows how those evil spirit masters will appear? If there are several of them, you won't be able to fight them all!"

"Yeah, yeah. Even the security forces were badly beaten, so the streamer should be careful."

"Recently, I've also heard that there have been unidentified individuals attacking strangers in Tiandou City. The streamer had better be careful."

"They're here," Cai Xukun thought to himself. The conversation began to steer in the direction he needed, letting his fans know that there might be evil soul masters in Tianling City, but they didn't know in what form they would appear.

This is exactly what he wanted; it will make it easier to pin the blame on Tang Wulin and the others later.

What? You're asking how to guide public opinion? Please, that kind of thing can be manipulated in the background if you want to.

What's more, he had just contacted several clones to act as online trolls, slowly guiding the direction of public opinion.

Chapter 238 Mutation

No, to be precise, it was the work of Nan Fusheng's clone, one of Nan Fusheng's parasitic clones, the captain of the Tianling City garrison. In order to eliminate a hidden rival, he concealed his identity and launched a sneak attack on his rival and his team.

It's safe to say that this is truly his clone; he's got a lot of tricks up his sleeve, even resorting to something like an assassination attempt—a classic case of knowingly breaking the law. Luckily, he succeeded in the end. Otherwise, they would have had to painfully abandon this clone.

However, this also gave Cai Xukun room to maneuver.

"Alright, viewers, let's set off now."

……

Meanwhile, Tang Wulin and his group of five gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

Tang Wulin said, "Gu Yue, there shouldn't be any particularly powerful beings in the Spirit Transmission Tower of a mid-level city like yours, right?"

Gu Yue said, "There are definitely some, but our biggest advantage is our young age. Nobody will pay attention to us. Our outfits, plus my badge, are enough to fool people."

When you strike, target the younger ones. Luring in the law enforcement team, defeating one team, and our mission is complete. Retreat immediately.

Tang Wulin and the other four changed into white uniforms. In Gu Yue's words, the clothes they bought at the clothing store last night actually looked somewhat like the work uniforms of the Spirit Pagoda headquarters.

The Spirit Pagoda's surveillance team has never had any special markings, which makes it easy for them to impersonate others.

That's right, their plan was to attract the Spirit Pagoda's enforcement team after beating the person, then defeat them, and finally impersonate members of the Surveillance Team to intimidate them and make it easier to escape.

As the sun rose high in the sky, the Heavenly Spirit Transmission Tower began to bustle with activity. The gates opened, and gradually, soul masters began to arrive.

Tang Wulin, Gu Yue, Xie Xie, Xu Lizhi, and Ye Xinglan scattered around, searching for their target.

Those with exceptionally strong soul power fluctuations should not be selected, nor should those who are too old or too young be selected. The main targets are soul masters between the ages of twenty and thirty-five, as outstanding soul masters in this age group are likely to have reached the fourth ring or higher in cultivation.

Soon, they found a target.

He was a very handsome young man, appearing to be no more than twenty years old. As he walked, he was talking and laughing. He had come from the Spirit Pagoda, but he wasn't wearing the uniform of a Spirit Pagoda staff member.

Ye Xinglan was watching them. She could sense that the soul power fluctuations emanating from this young man were definitely above the fourth ring, and possibly even the fifth ring, making him a suitable target for them.

If you're going to challenge someone, challenge someone stronger. So he immediately made a subtle hand gesture to Tang Wulin and the others.

The crowd quickly approached, forming a circle around the young man.

"Hey, what are you doing?" The young man seemed a little frightened when he saw that he was surrounded by five people, but he immediately relaxed after noticing that the five people were children.

"I'm not a staff member of the Spirit Pagoda, and I don't sell souls." He had clearly misunderstood and waved his hand at Tang Wulin and the others.

"Big brother, we'd like to spar with you," Tang Wulin said bluntly. Although they would eventually have to fight, he still wanted to say something.

"A friendly spar? Don't be silly, little guy. Get out of the way, I have things to do." The young man said with amusement.

"Big brother, I'm not joking." Tang Wulin didn't say anything more. Anyway, he was just using this young man to lure out the law enforcement team, so he directly released his martial soul.

Three purple spirit rings rose from his feet. As he activated them, his other companions also released their martial spirits.

Blue Silver Grass swarmed out, unleashing its first soul skill, Entanglement.

One by one, the crystalline blue silver grasses rapidly coiled around the young man, while the others also released their soul power.

The young man reacted very quickly. The moment he saw Tang Wulin's Blue Silver Grass, he immediately unleashed the pressure of his soul power. A stream of water appeared out of thin air, pushing the group aside. Then, the young man dodged away from the Blue Silver Grass's entanglement.

The Five Ring Soul King!

Sensing the oppressive soul power emanating from the young man, the group quickly made a judgment. However, Tang Wulin and the others weren't particularly surprised; weren't they dealing with a fifth-ring cultivator back in Heaven Dou City?

Moreover, the opponent should be a water-attribute soul master, and Tang Wulin's Blue Silver Gold Light Array's elemental stripping is most effective against elemental attribute soul masters.

A chill suddenly appeared, freezing the water around the youth. Tang Wulin's Blue Silver Grass wrapped around him again, but the youth dodged it all with his agile movements.

This guy is tough to deal with!

We must take it down as soon as possible, or the law enforcement will be here.

The young man's face now looked rather pale, and streams of water once again surrounded him. One of the streams rose up, encircling the camera on his body and placing it above him for better filming.

"What exactly do you want? We have no grudge against each other, why are you attacking me?"

Just as he was speaking, golden light rose from beneath his feet, and the blue silver grass that had covered his body because of the young man's dodge shone with a golden light.

This is Tang Wulin's third soul skill: Blue Silver Golden Light Array, which can separate the elements within the array's range.

Elemental stripping is extremely effective against various elements. They once used this move to easily defeat a Soul King with a Rain Martial Soul at the Heavenly Dou Spirit Pagoda.

This young man's martial spirit should be related to water, so it couldn't possibly escape the theorem of elemental stripping. Sure enough, the water around the young man was drawn downwards and guided.

Tang Wulin's Blue Silver Grass coiled upwards, Ye Xinglan pointed his Star God Sword forward, aiming at his opponent's chest, and Xie Xie had already silently appeared behind him, his Light Dragon Dagger aimed at his neck.

Won!

Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking they had defeated their opponent, a sudden change occurred!

For some reason, Ye Xinglan's Star God Sword and Xie Xie's Light Dragon Dagger did not seem to pause when they were close to the young man's body and neck, and looked like they were about to kill him.

"Oh no!" Ye Xinglan and Xie Xie were shocked. They had no intention of killing anyone!

"Boom." When the Star God Sword and the Light Dragon Dagger had already slashed through the young man's clothes and neck, it seemed that his life was threatened, and the young man finally unleashed his full power.

The terrifying pressure of soul power condensed into streams of pitch-black water, directly blasting Ye Xinglan and Xie Xie away.

Five jet-black spirit rings rose from beneath the youth's feet.

Chapter 239 Evil Soul Master Tang Wulin?

"Peak Soul King! And five more ten-thousand-year soul rings!" Tang Wulin didn't know how to describe his feelings at this moment.

My god! We've kicked a hornet's nest. Are ten-thousand-year spirit rings really that common these days? No, this only proves that this young man is an absolute monster.

And most importantly, they've really offended others. Tang Wulin said with a wry smile, "Well, big brother, maybe this is a misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding?" The young man's eyes were filled with murderous intent. He touched his clothes, which had been completely torn open, with one hand, and his neck, from which a trace of blood had seeped out, with the other.

"What misunderstanding could have led you to attack me? What misunderstanding could have led a group of children to kill me the moment they met?" The young man's voice was icy cold.

Hearing the young man's words, Tang Wulin gave a wry smile; he hadn't expected what had just happened.

It's over. There's no way to explain it now, after all, someone really almost got killed. However, Tang Wulin still wanted to struggle a bit, but the next moment, the young man's words made him swallow his words back.

"You are evil spirit masters, aren't you!" The young man looked at the five people with an icy expression.

"What?" Tang Wulin and his group of five were stunned. What did this have to do with them being evil soul masters?

"Recently, the Tianling City garrison was attacked by what appears to be an evil spirit master, resulting in heavy casualties. A friend of mine happens to be the captain of the garrison, so I've seen the state of those dead bodies." As he spoke, the young man looked at Ye Xinglan and Xie Xie.

"They were all killed instantly by a sharp weapon. My friend and I have two guesses about how they were able to do that. First, the evil spirit master was extremely powerful and killed them before the guards could react."

Secondly, the person who attacked them was an acquaintance of the security team members and knew them very well, so they were caught off guard.

“However,” the young man glanced at Tang Wulin and his group of five, “after seeing you, I have a new thought. What if it was a group of children who attacked them?”

"Faced with a group of children, they would probably be just as careless and relaxed as I was just now. At that moment, if you launch a surprise attack, it shouldn't be difficult to kill them in one blow."

Tang Wulin: "!!!" Oh no, the situation seems to be really bad.

At this moment, Ye Xinglan looked at the young man with an icy expression and said, "What nonsense are you spouting! How could we possibly be evil soul masters? We..."

Before Ye Xinglan could finish speaking, the young man interrupted her, "No matter who you are, it's a fact that you tried to kill me just now! We'll talk about it after I take you to the station."

As he spoke, wisps of black mist began to rise behind the young man, and vaguely, a huge creature emerged from behind him; it seemed to be a whale.

“Cai Xukun, a level 59 offensive Soul King, now, let me knock you all down first, and then send you to the garrison.”

First Soul Skill: Kun Ball.
