Douluo: The Throne of Ice

Chapter 51 Genius and Past Events (Please continue reading)

The night passed quietly.

The next morning, Shu Yan and Xu Jiujiu received a message delivered by Nebula Douluo while they were having breakfast.

This intelligence report was sent out by Xu Jiawei. It contained a rough record of the visitors from the south who came to Xingluo City, and also thoughtfully noted the martial spirits they possessed and their approximate soul power levels.

During their last private conversation in the palace, Shu Yan had already explained his idea of ​​recruiting the remnants of the Spirit Hall to serve him. Xu Jiawei's attitude was not clear at first, only saying that he would give Shu Yan an answer later. But now it seems that Xu Jiawei's attitude has been basically confirmed.

Xu Jiu nestled in Shu Yan's arms, gazing at the golden paper engraved with a star crown totem. Shu Yan's gaze followed her, and after a quick glance, he was somewhat surprised.

"Besides Luo Qinghan and the other two from yesterday, there are a few people on this list who can be called geniuses. But what surprised me even more was that so many of the top-tier martial spirits that were famous on the continent ten thousand years ago have been passed down. At first, I even thought that these martial spirits only existed in history."

Xu Jiujiu frowned slightly and pointed to several names on the gold paper, saying:

"Tian Ling, Martial Soul: Golden Crocodile, Seventeen years old, Level 41 Soul Power."

"Eternal Moon Chant, Martial Soul: Coiled Dragon Staff, age 15, level 47 Soul Power."

"Hu Yanhao, Martial Soul: Diamond Mammoth, Sixteen years old, Soul Power Level 42."

"Meng Ning, Martial Soul: Black Demon, thirteen years old, level twenty-seven Soul Power."

"The martial souls of these people all seem to be closely related to those from ten thousand years ago. The Golden Crocodile is a lower-level martial soul of the Golden Crocodile King, which was once possessed by the Golden Crocodile Douluo, the second elder of the Spirit Hall. The Coiling Dragon Staff... is the same as Elder Qian's martial soul, so I'm afraid there is a significant connection between her and Elder Qian. As for the Diamond Mammoth, it is also the direct descendant martial soul of the Elephant Armor Sect, which was affiliated with the Spirit Hall ten thousand years ago. As for the Black Demon martial soul..."

At this point, Xu Jiujiu frowned slightly, as if he couldn't recall any information about this martial soul for the moment.

Shu Yan gently took the golden letter from Xu Jiujiu's hand, and then said softly:

"The Black Demon Martial Soul is very special. Ten thousand years ago, the Martial Soul of Meng Shenji, the chief instructor of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, was the Black Demon. The Black Demon was also known as one of the most terrifying control-type Martial Souls of that era. It is said that once a Soul Master is dragged into the dream created by the Black Demon, he loses the possibility of escaping. This is undoubtedly a top-level control-type Martial Soul, but why the successor of this Martial Soul would join the lineage of the Spirit Hall's descendants is unknown."

After Shu Yan's reminder, Xu Jiujiu suddenly remembered something. She summarized her thoughts and then continued speaking:

"I remember now. Some time ago, I went through the imperial history books and by chance learned a lot of hidden stories. This matter was also recorded in the imperial history books. Specifically, it is related to the Avalanche Emperor of the Tiandou Empire ten thousand years ago."

"This Avalanche Emperor was a disciple of the Sea God. After the war of the gods ended, the gods no longer interfered in human affairs. At first, Avalanche was a qualified monarch, but later, he inevitably followed the old path of the previous Heavenly Fighting Nobles."

"At that time, two of them, who had already broken through to the Title Douluo realm, risked their lives to remonstrate with the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. However, they were later ostracized and neglected by most of the Heaven Dou nobles, and their positions as academic committee members were stripped away. Later, these three seemed to have finally lost heart and never spoke another word in the Heaven Dou court. Instead, they left Heaven Dou City with their families and disappeared without a trace..."

"Now it seems that their lives after leaving Heaven Dou City were not comfortable, otherwise their descendants would not have fallen into this situation."

Shu Yan nodded slightly, not caring about these insignificant past events. What he cared about was another person.

"At fifteen years old, she has a soul power of level 47. Such talent is top-tier even in Shrek Academy. No joke, this Qian Gu Yueyin has the potential to break through to Soul Emperor before the age of twenty. This makes us take her seriously. In addition, there is her special relationship with Elder Qian. If nothing goes wrong in the future, her achievements will be guaranteed to be at least at the Super Douluo level."

After a long while, he nodded, his expression becoming somewhat serious.

"Although the leaders of their group are all rare geniuses, the problems they face are also obvious."

"I've inquired around, and apart from these few leaders who can shoulder the main responsibility, the others who accompanied us this time are also geniuses among them, but they are all close to twenty years old. This shows that even after ten thousand years of inheritance, they have inevitably faced the problem of the decline of their clan's bloodline and talent. If this continues, it is estimated that in a few thousand years, some of their families will be completely wiped out."

Shu Yan nodded again, then chuckled and said:

"That's why they had to consider other options; otherwise, they could only watch helplessly as their family declined little by little."

After a long pause, she stuck out her little tongue, then smiled and pinched Shu Yan's cheek, tilting her head slightly as she said:

"Well, Ah Yan, you really seized their most confused and helpless period. It seems the outcome is already quite clear."

Shu Yan smiled and kissed Xu Jiujiu's delicate red lips. After casually putting the letter into his soul tool, he picked Xu Jiujiu up and stood up.

"Let's go, let's see what kind of strength these geniuses who have emerged from the shadows really possess, and let me, Jiu Jiu, also see what my true strength is now..."

Xu Jiujiu chuckled softly, nuzzling her cheek against Shu Yan's chest. The two of them, still affectionate, soon left the princess's residence...

……

At noon, at the Starry Arena.

As the largest Soul Master Arena in the entire Star Luo Empire, the Star Luo Arena is comparable in size to two Star Luo Plazas. Countless events are held here every day. The daily flow of people in the arena alone is as large as hundreds of thousands. Therefore, the daily revenue generated here is also an extremely terrifying figure. Any income or expenditure here is a huge sum of money that ordinary nobles can only dream of.

With the royal princess personally making the arrangements and the palace official giving her approval, the arena's management naturally attached great importance to it. The usually packed arena was completely empty today, and the outer perimeter was surrounded by layers upon layers of royal guards. Ordinary people didn't even have the chance to glance at the outside. Even some nobles who tried to enter to investigate, relying on their power, were directly expelled, some even thrown out, utterly humiliated and unable to face anyone again for a while...

Guided by the maids, Shu Yan and his entourage stepped into the preparation area of ​​this top-tier arena. After pushing open the heavy solid wood door, a spacious and bright venue came into view. Also present were Luo Qinghan and her two companions from yesterday, as well as some unfamiliar faces they had never met before...
