Douluo: Legend of the Dragon King - The Voice of the Purple Emperor

Chapter 24 Strange Train

Gu You shook the gourd in his hand, and a strong aura of soul power wafted out.

"My master said that a lot of thousand-year-old spiritual herbs were added to it, and the resulting spiritual liquid can enhance one's soul power when drunk."

It's a great thing. Not only can it store the soul power of a single Soul Douluo or higher and constantly replenish me, but it can also be used to make water to quench my thirst. It is truly a top-tier Holy Grail.

Leng Yaozhu said that the soul-guided milk bottle in front of her was made by three people of different level seven professions. It is almost at the level of level eight soul-guided device. Its interior is divided into two modules, shaped like a gourd. The lower layer can store soul power, and the upper layer can be used to brew spirit liquid. After adjustment, the two modules can be switched at will. It can be said to be the best among level seven soul-guided devices.

"Please board the Soul Guidance Train No. 87. This journey will take you through 34 cities, including Xiangmingdu and Tiandou City. We will stop for five minutes at each station, where you may choose to disembark or continue your journey."

The announcements kept coming. To be honest, if it weren't for the cheap price of this train, Gu You would have already switched to the Soul Guide High-Speed ​​Railway and booked a VIP room.

Because he gave the red card to Na'er, he didn't have much money on him. He opened his own account and deposited about 300,000 Federal Credits, all of which he had earned through hard work in the past two days while forging in the ancient world.

Don't think that 300,000 is a small amount. In the Douluo Federation, more than 90% of people can earn that amount in just a few days.

The train was very messy. Gu You finally managed to grab a seat and began to meditate.

"What a beautiful child! What is your child's martial spirit?"

Gu You's six senses were extremely sharp at this moment. Although he appeared to be cultivating, he had actually observed the situation of the entire train. The only thing that puzzled him was that there was an even stronger spiritual force blocking his observation in the upper two compartments of this carriage.

In the past few days, Gu You has often gotten up early to cultivate the Purple Demon Eye. At the same time, his cultivation over the past few days has also made him realize that the Purple Demon Eye seems too easy. He has already reached the so-called microscopic realm.

"Ruwei" means to delve into the minute details, from appearance to details, and to be able to instantly perceive subtle changes in the target.

"Martial Soul... Sorry, my child doesn't have one."

Gu You's attention was drawn to the two dialogues.

"Ah! I'm sorry."

She was a very pretty young girl, her eyes filled with contentment. Opposite her sat a mother and daughter. The mother looked to be in her forties, and the little girl looked to be only six or seven years old. The little girl was very pretty, with bright and clear eyes.

"That's not what I meant. My daughter missed the day for awakening her martial soul. By the time she went, the spirit master had already left. If she wants to awaken her martial soul afterward, she'll have to go to the Spirit Pagoda or certain designated areas of the government and spend money to do it, which costs over 20,000 yuan. That's too expensive..."

Gu You clenched his fists. These words sounded so infuriating, but that was the reality. A family that couldn't even afford 20,000 yuan would find it very difficult to obtain a soul ring, even if the little girl had soul power and became a soul master in the future, unless she had exceptional talent, but the chances of that were extremely slim.

After putting himself in others' shoes, Gu You felt that once he established his own power, he should be like the Spirit Hall and offer free spirit awakening. No matter what region it was, whether rich or poor, as long as there was a fluctuation of spirit power, everyone could join his power to learn and develop. He would pay for it himself. However, this was just a thought. After all, resource competition was inevitable. This world has never been fair, not in the past, and not now. Since he had good talent, he should make the most of it. Even if his talent wasn't good, he shouldn't despair, because no one knows what he will be like in three years.

"So sleepy, what's wrong with my mental state today? My eyelids have fallen so low..."

So sleepy...

Gu You suddenly felt dizzy. Oh no! Gu You instantly mobilized his mental power, and stared ahead with his Purple Demon Eye.

Where no one could see, there stood a girl, four spirit rings swirling around her, her lips constantly playing a flute.

Nine Flutes?

Gu You instantly recognized this martial spirit, but the Nine Flute Martial Spirit in front of him was filled with black energy, and countless undead auras were released. The thick black energy instantly covered everything around him, and Gu You could not see it.

Evil Soul Master!!

Gu You was secretly alarmed. He was just riding a rickety train, how come all sorts of bad things happened to him? He could only wait and see. It was impossible for an evil soul master to appear alone, especially not a fourth-ring one.

The people in the surrounding carriages all fell asleep peacefully. Gu You also pretended to be asleep, wanting to see what was going on.

The train continued its journey, and everything around was peaceful. During the hour-long wait, Gu You's hands started to ache. This posture was too uncomfortable, and he wanted to change it, but he was afraid that if he did, he might give himself away.

Five hours.

I can't take it anymore, let's change positions, let's change positions.

Fortunately, no one noticed Gu You.

……

The far northern border, Nonalin Fortress.

This place is remote, and the Federation's rule has been unable to address the root causes. It has become a gathering place for evil spirit masters, black market merchants, and assassins. Even though the city's administrators are appointed by the Federation, they are still susceptible to bribery and engage in wicked activities.

"Xiao Lai, you did a good job this time. The boss should give you enough resentful spirit energy to help you break through to the Soul King realm." The burly man's eyes were filled with madness. His body was covered in countless wounds, which was enough to show how ruthless he was.

"I know without you having to tell me. However, we've been too conspicuous this time. The Federation will definitely notice. Not to mention, the government already had suspicions about this place, but it's too far away, and the people they sent to monitor were switched, so they couldn't verify it," the girl called Xiao Lai said coldly.

"Haha! Let them come then. I haven't killed anyone in a long time, and my spirit is hungry." A blood-red bear shadow appeared behind the Berserker. His figure instantly grew dozens of times larger, and seven spirit rings floated around him. The only pity was that the first spirit ring was white.

This is the Berserker's Martial Soul, the Bloodthirsty Bear. It is a mutated form that relies on killing and bloodlust to improve its cultivation. The current Berserker has already reached the seventh ring and has slaughtered countless innocent lives.

……

"Where is this place?"

Most of the passengers had already woken up. Outside the train, there was endless wind and snow, with a fierce wind sweeping across the landscape, and a snow-covered plain came into view.

"What's going on?! Weren't we just in Shrek City?"

Chaos began to break out, and Gu You's left eye was twitching. As the saying goes, a twitching left eye means good fortune, while a twitching right eye means bad luck. But this looked like a bad thing no matter how you looked at it.
