Douluo Continent: On Becoming a God Through Science

Chapter 104 Meeting Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo

Bibi Dong's goal was to capture and imprison You Chen, using him as leverage against Qian Renxue later.

Such an action is destined to be conducted in a high-profile manner; on the contrary, it must be done as discreetly as possible so that no outsiders know about it.

Therefore, Bibi Dong only sent out small groups of elite troops this time, and Kiku and Kiku were the strongest among them. She arranged for the two of them to lie in wait on the only road that You Chen would take on his way back.

There were no communication devices in this era, and coupled with You Chen's speed, the Spirit Hall Soul Masters who were chasing You Chen could not remind or notify each other, and could only rigidly demarcate areas for patrol.

Without the ability to send a large number of personnel, such an action would undoubtedly be inefficient.

Fortunately, the humanoid combat power of Title Douluo can solve this problem to some extent.

After noticing the returning Youchen from afar, Ghost and Moon Pass met up and planned to intercept him before he returned to Nottingham.

Conversely, if You Chen successfully returns to Nottingham, it will essentially mean the failure of their mission.

There were no eyewitnesses in the wild, so no one would know if You Chen were forcibly captured.

But it's a different story inside the city. Kiku and Kiku can't exactly massacre the city to silence them, can they?

Not to mention whether there are any omissions, neither of them are that kind of people.

At least, their loyalty to Bibi Dong wasn't enough to make them set aside their titled Douluo pride and slaughter innocent civilians.

Chrysanthemum Douluo goes without saying, and Ghost Douluo is an agility-type Douluo. Even though You Chen has the advantage of flying high in the sky, the two of them successfully intercepted You Chen before he crossed the border of the Barak Kingdom.

"Old Ju, something's not right."

Seeing that You Chen's expression remained unchanged despite being stopped halfway, Ghost Douluo frowned slightly. After scanning You Chen's surroundings, he muttered, "He didn't bring his disciple with him."

"Whatever, old ghost."

Chrysanthemum Douluo said lazily, "Anyway, as long as we catch this kid, that's fine."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum Martial Soul suddenly appeared. In the blink of an eye, countless golden petals flew into the sky, blocking You Chen's retreat route one by one.

At this moment, Chrysanthemum Douluo finally looked at You Chen and said in a low voice, "Master You Chen, I, Yue, do not like fighting and killing. Anyway, you can't possibly put up any resistance against me and Old Ghost. How about you put away your martial spirit and surrender?"

Yu Chen was slightly surprised to see Ju Gui and the other person appear there, but he remained calm.

What surprised him was that it was just these two people who came; as for the fact that a powerful Soul Master would appear here to intercept him, that was naturally something he had expected.

He maintained his usual calm expression and said, "I didn't expect that the Pope would react so strongly to my simple trip with my disciples. Ha, she really thinks highly of me."

Chrysanthemum Douluo chuckled and said, "I think so too. If Master Youchen were wise enough to choose to join Her Majesty the Pope now, I think she would be very happy to welcome you."

Upon hearing this, You Chen's expression remained unchanged, but a hint of amusement crept into his gaze as he looked at Chrysanthemum Douluo.

"Stop wasting your breath on him, Lao Ju."

Ghost Douluo said coldly, "I have a feeling things aren't that simple. Let's dislocate his limbs first. Even if he has some tricks up his sleeve, it won't matter!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Ghost Douluo flashed into the chrysanthemum formation, and a pitch-black ghost hand suddenly grabbed at You Chen's right arm with a swift and forceful movement!

No cracking sound—the sound of a dislocated joint—was heard.

"What—!?"

Ghost Douluo's pupils shrank as he stared in stunned silence at the arm that had been casually torn off.

Although he said "dismemberment", it wasn't done in this way!

Ghost Douluo looked sharply at the spot where You Chen's arm was severed, but there was no trace of flesh or blood there, only stardust shimmering.

been played!

Ghost Douluo's face was gloomy, and Chrysanthemum Douluo, who had also noticed this, looked equally unpleasant.

You Chen smiled and asked, "I'm waiting for my true self to return to Notting City. What are you waiting for? Or is it that it's been too long and you want to chat with me more?"

Bang!

A golden chrysanthemum petal shot out like a flying knife, instantly piercing You Chen's starlight avatar and causing it to explode in an instant, with only dazzling stardust falling in the air.

Ghost Douluo analyzed, "It seems he had already guessed that someone would be lying in ambush on this inevitable road, so he deliberately used a soul skill to interfere with our sight and hearing... But how could someone use a clone-type soul skill to this extent? Not only did it completely deceive our eyes, but it could even speak. It's simply unbelievable."

Chrysanthemum Douluo sneered, "It's impossible for others. With this little guy's talent, it's not surprising that he could do something like this. It seems he has never given up on the path to becoming a strongman!"

Although he started off in a complaining tone, Chrysanthemum Douluo couldn't help but exclaim in admiration as he spoke.

Even Ghost Douluo, who was standing to the side, had to agree with Chrysanthemum Douluo's words.

With a natural talent of level 2 innate soul power, You Chen has reached this level at the age of 36. His talent has already overshadowed his lack of soul power talent!

Ghost Douluo said, "Then what do we do now? Go and report back to His Holiness the Pope like this?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo helplessly shrugged: "What else can we do? The power behind that kid can't be underestimated. It involves the struggle of those big shots. We've already done more than enough, okay? Are we really going to go into Notting City to drag him out? Wouldn't that be incredibly offensive? No way, I'm thinking of going back to file my nails as soon as possible~"

Ghost Douluo glanced at Chrysanthemum Douluo and said, "Since you put it that way, then let's do it this way. Although we failed to achieve that person's most desired goal, at least he didn't really choose to run away and go into seclusion, which is actually an acceptable result."

If he loses Bibi Dong's trust because of this, then it can only be said that their "relationship as ruler and subject" has come to an end.

Even a Title Douluo in the Spirit Hall can't be said to be completely at ease. — Ghost Douluo couldn't help but sigh to himself.

Just as Kiku and Kiku gave up their pursuit of Yu Chen, two figures, one large and one small, were walking side by side at the city gate of Notting.

It was You Chen and You Xing; to be precise, they were You Chen's other two clones.

Yes, whether it's You Chen talking to Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo or You Chen You Xing here, they are all starlight incarnations condensed by You Chen using his soul power.

"To simultaneously remotely control four consciousnesses—if my mental state hadn't improved when I broke free from the shackles of thought, even now, at the Five Hearts Realm, I probably wouldn't be able to handle such an operation."

You Chen couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

To achieve the goal of directly implanting consciousness into an avatar, similar to the effect of a signal base station, would incur a burden far greater than the burden of remotely controlling the avatar with a separate mind.

Even with only four consciousnesses operating simultaneously, the pressure is already greater and more tiring than when the mind is divided into five parts.
