Douluo Continent: The Peerless Tang Sect - Sharingan Intercepts Tianmeng

Chapter 55 You dare to slander my Emperor's Banner as the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls? You have already committed suicide!

Jin Chuan was stunned by the old man's slap. He couldn't understand how it was his own fault that he had become an evil soul master and joined the Holy Spirit Cult, when his teacher had guided him to become one.

"Teacher, you're at the level of an eight-ring Soul Douluo..."

Before Jin Chuan could finish speaking, the old man slapped him across the face.

Jin Chuan wanted to say something more, feeling wronged, but he was stopped by a look from the old man.

"Young friend, my disciple has actually fallen into the trap of becoming an evil soul master. In his pursuit of breakthrough, he caused such a tragedy. This is my fault, but he is still my student. Could you please give me some face and let this matter rest? Let me clean up this mess myself. Consider it a favor I owe you. Is that alright?"

The old man cupped his hands towards Xiao Qiang, looking utterly grief-stricken, as if he truly didn't know that his disciple had already fallen into the trap of becoming an evil soul master.

Jin Chuan wanted to say something, but the old man forcefully stopped him, while the old man cursed Jin Chuan more than a hundred times in his heart.

I've told him so many times to be cautious and careful in everything he does, and to focus on surviving first before worrying about the future.

Without the strength of a Title Douluo, this world is not very safe. First, accumulate strength. To be on the safe side, it is best to only fight Soul Masters who are twenty levels lower than yourself. This is slower but safer.

As a result, Jin Chuan not only fought a Soul Master who was only one Soul Ring lower than him, but also wanted him to help him take revenge.

He didn't even consider what level of existence he must be to teach someone who could defeat a level 60 evil spirit master at level 40-something.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that a genius teacher of this caliber is a Title Douluo, right?

As an 88th-level evil soul master, he can contend with a titled Douluo, but contending does not mean defeating him. If that titled Douluo is stronger, he is very likely to be defeated.

We haven't seen Xiao Qiang's teacher yet. It's very likely that the teacher is hiding in the shadows through some means. After all, he did the same thing when he was educating Jin Chuan, intervening when Jin Chuan was about to die, teaching him a lesson and preventing him from being arrogant in his youth.

Jinchuan has performed very well over the years, and has been very good at maintaining stability. It will never make a move unless it has a 98% chance of winning.

As a result, he got a little carried away by the beating he received today and ignored the possible presence behind the person in front of him. The old man has decided to punish this disciple properly when he gets back to prevent him from getting carried away again. After all, life is only once, and as evil spirit masters who are hated by everyone, they never have the conditions to fail.

Looking at the old man's eight spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and four black—Xiao Qiang felt a sudden surge of fear, then breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Xiao Qiang was extremely grateful that Xue Di protected him. Otherwise, this eight-ring Soul Douluo level being, regardless of whether he was an evil Soul Master or not, would be someone that Xiao Qiang, a Soul Master of just over forty levels, could not contend with.

"You flatter me, senior. Since you've spoken, let's settle this matter here," Xiao Qiang said helplessly.

After all, Xue Di was not his protector; she only guaranteed his safety. If he insisted on killing Jin Chuan, he might be able to do so. However, if the old man chose to stand idly by and then held a grudge against him, the secret jealousy or sabotage of an eight-ring Soul Douluo could lead to extremely painful consequences for him.

A wise man does not intervene. If his own life is not in danger, Xiao Qiang would choose to save people and eliminate evil. However, if the matter threatens himself or his family and friends, Xiao Qiang can only choose to ignore it. After all, Xiao Qiang himself is not a good person and would not allow his family and friends to be in danger for the sake of a group of strangers.

The old man was stunned by Xiao Qiang's words. He thought Xiao Qiang would argue with him for a long time, and he would even have to consider whether to give up on Jin Chuan as his disciple. But he did not expect Xiao Qiang to be so easy to talk to.

No! That's not right! It's not that I'm easy to talk to!

His voice, the way he hit the fourth ring while hitting the fifth, and that youthful arrogance all suggest that Xiao Qiang's actual age is probably not that old.

To challenge a five-ring Soul King-level evil Soul Master with the status of a four-ring Soul Master—this all points to one thing: youthful arrogance!

Although he used some means to conceal his true nature, anyone who can do something like using a fourth ring to beat a fifth ring is undoubtedly a genius from somewhere. So it is clear that Xiao Qiang's appearance is not his true self.

He disguised himself like this perhaps because he was worried about being sought revenge later, or perhaps because he was too young and worried about being looked down upon. In any case, Xiao Qiang's current appearance could not possibly be his true self. An ordinary middle-aged man would not do something like a four-ringed Soul King fighting a five-ringed Soul King, let alone a five-ringed Soul King who was an evil Soul Master.

Xiao Qiang's actions can almost certainly be attributed to youthful arrogance. Because he had someone backing him up, he was not afraid of evil soul masters who were five-ring soul kings, even though he only had a four-ring cultivation level.

The evil soul master who can reliably suppress a five-ring soul king must be at least a seven-ring soul master. Considering intervening in the battle between the two, Xiao Qiang's bodyguard must be at least an eight-ring soul master, but he can only be an eight-ring soul master, and his soul ring ratio must be poor.

If Xiao Qiang's bodyguards were all Soul Douluo with two yellow, two purple, and four black soul rings, and had the same soul ring ratio as him, he wouldn't have been so easy to talk to in his youthful arrogance.

If a young and impetuous person becomes easy to talk to, there's probably only one reason: he's insecure.

Given Xiao Qiang's earlier fear, but his relief after saying the matter was over, the truth of the matter is not hard to deduce.

Xiao Qiang has a Soul Douluo teacher or bodyguard with two yellow, three purple, and three black stats, or three yellow, two purple, and three black stats.

Considering that real fear, a Contra level of three yellow, two purple, and three black is more likely.

With a combination of three yellow, two purple, and three black, he is destined not to reach level 85. This kind of low-level Soul Douluo is more suitable to be a bodyguard for some extremely powerful young masters of families.

It was precisely this difference in spirit ring configuration compared to his own that led Xiao Qiang to instantly back down, completely devoid of youthful arrogance. As someone from a prominent family, he certainly understood the difference between two spirit masters with different spirit ring configurations.

The fact that the three yellow, two purple, and three black stars of a large family protect the family's top geniuses makes all of this make sense.

Jin Chuan's teacher, whose soul rings were of the best possible combination, believed he had a 70% chance of winning. He thought his chances were only 90% with two yellow, three purple, and three black rings, and as for three yellow, two purple, and three black rings, his chances were...

98%!

With a 98% chance of winning, he is no longer facing Xiao Qiang, but the soul of a Soul Douluo, or rather, an opportunity to break through to the Title Douluo level under low risk!

Thinking this, Jin Chuan's teacher released his martial spirit.

"Young friend, do you recognize my martial spirit?"

"The Ten Thousand Souls Banner?"

"Boy! You dare say my Emperor's Banner is the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls? You've already committed suicide!"
