Douluo Continent: The Storytelling Immortal King, Shocking the Entire Continent

(Hey everyone, I'd like to take this opportunity to recommend another book of mine: "The Sky Curtain: I, a Celestial King Giant, Was Livestreamed by Douluo Continent")

Heavenly Dou Empire, Heavenly Dou City.

As the capital of the Heavenly Dou Empire, this place is exceptionally prosperous, with wide streets and bustling traffic.

In the most bustling central area of ​​the city, there is a teahouse called Tingyuxuan, which has recently become a rising star, with business booming to an unreasonable degree.

It was midday.

The Listening Rain Pavilion was already packed with people, with no seats available.

Hundreds of people were crammed into the lobby, shoulder to shoulder, and even the aisles were full of people.

Upon closer inspection, one would discover that among these people were not only nobles and wealthy merchants dressed in fine clothes, but also many Soul Masters with powerful auras and sharp eyes!

However, despite the extremely crowded and congested scene, it was surprisingly quiet.

Everyone was looking up, their eyes fixed on the high platform in the center of the hall, not daring to breathe, for fear of missing something.

In the private rooms on the second floor, many distinguished figures were intently watching the scene below through the beaded curtains.

"Fengzhi, is the storyteller at Tingyu Pavilion really as miraculous as the rumors say?"

Inside the private room of the highest tier.

A middle-aged man dressed in a white robe, with a handsome face and a refined and approachable demeanor, was gently waving a folding fan, a smile playing on his lips.

It was Ning Fengzhi, the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Beside him sat an old man with white hair and beard and eyes like swords; he was none other than Sword Douluo Chen Xin, one of the two Guardian Douluo.

"Hehe, Uncle Jian."

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly and said with a deep gaze, "These past few days, the news in Tiandou City has been making waves, saying that the story Mr. Su told is magnificent and grand, even surpassing the legends of the God Realm in our Douluo Continent."

"Especially the world he described, where the strong can pluck stars from the sky and seize the moon, and change the world in the blink of an eye."

"Rongrong sneaked out to listen to it a few days ago, and she's been so distracted ever since she got back that she keeps saying she wants to come back. That's why I was curious and specifically dragged you, Uncle Jian, to come and see for myself."

However, upon hearing this, Sword Douluo Chen Xin scoffed disdainfully and arrogantly said:

"Reaching for the stars and seizing the moon? A single thought can transform the world into a vast expanse?"

"Even the legendary level 99 peerless Douluo, or the level 100 god, would probably find it difficult to possess such power."

"It's nothing more than the exaggerated fantasies of ordinary people trying to grab attention."

As a level 96 Title Douluo, Chen Xin had already stood at the pinnacle of this continent, and naturally possessed his own pride.

In his view, the so-called stories are nothing more than the clichéd plots of Soul Masters hunting Soul Beasts or the war between two great empires.

Can you come up with any fancy explanation?

Ning Fengzhi did not offer much explanation, but simply smiled and remained noncommittal.

Just then, a young man dressed in a blue robe slowly walked out from the high platform.

The man was about twenty years old, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, handsome and dashing. He was holding a folding fan in his hand, and his temperament was otherworldly, as if he were a celestial being descended to earth.

This person was none other than Su Chen, the storyteller of Tingyuxuan.

Su Chen is a time traveler.

After arriving in Douluo Continent, I didn't awaken any heaven-defying martial soul, but I did awaken the storyteller system.

Simply by telling stories, you can gain popularity points, which can then be exchanged for rewards across the myriad realms to improve your cultivation.

"Snapped!"

As Su Chen walked to the front of the stage, he slammed the gavel on the table.

The crisp sound instantly echoed throughout the entire venue.

The lobby, which had been slightly noisy, fell completely silent once again, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on Su Chen.

Su Chen smiled, opened his folding fan with a whoosh, waved it twice, and then slowly said:

"Last time, we only made a brief start and briefly mentioned the vastness of that world."

"Today, we will officially begin our discussion of this book, 'Perfect World'!"

"Before we begin the story, let me offer you a few words to illustrate the power and might of the strong in that world!"

At this point, Su Chen's voice suddenly rose, and his tone became more impassioned and profound.

"A single grain of dust can fill the sea!"

"A single blade of grass can cleave the sun, moon, and stars!"

"In the blink of an eye, the world is turned upside down!"

"Heroes rise up, myriad races stand tall, saints vie for supremacy, and chaos shakes the heavens and earth!"

"Who rules the fate of this vast land?!"

boom!!!

As Su Chen finished speaking those few words...

The entire Tingyuxuan Pavilion instantly erupted into chaos, as if a pot had been boiled over!

Countless Douluo listeners widened their eyes, gaped, and stared in disbelief.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it gave me goosebumps!

Can a single grain of dust fill the sea?

Can a single blade of grass sever the sun, moon, and stars?

What a tone! And what audacity!

Even in their wildest dreams, they wouldn't dare to think like that!

Meanwhile, in a private room on the second floor.

Sword Douluo Chen Xin, who was casually drinking tea, suddenly jerked his hands upon hearing these words, spilling most of the tea from his cup.

"Can a single blade of grass cleave the sun, moon, and stars?"

"Absurd! Utterly absurd!"

"I have cultivated the Seven Kill Sword Martial Soul for over seventy years. My sword intent is profound. I am confident that I can split mountains and shatter rocks with a single sword strike."

"But this kid actually claims that a single blade of grass can cut down the stars in the sky?"

"How is this possible?!"

"Even the top-tier plant-type martial souls on this continent, such as the Blue Silver Emperor, are only a bit more resilient and possess powerful control."

"Trying to slay stars? That's utterly ridiculous!"

Ning Fengzhi, standing to the side, was equally shocked and gasped.

Although he was mentally prepared, the visual impact of those few words was still too strong.

"Uncle Jian, calm down and let's hear how he's going to cover up this lie."

In the end, Ning Fengzhi took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the pounding in his heart, but his eyes grew increasingly serious.

This Su Chen, he really has a big mouth!

If such combat power truly existed in the world of this book, wouldn't these so-called Title Douluo be even less than ants on the ground?

Meanwhile, in an inconspicuous corner of the lobby.

Two teenagers, a boy and a girl, were sitting together.

The man was handsome, but his eyes were calculating.

The woman was wearing a pink dress, with a long scorpion braid hanging down her back, making her look playful and cute.

These two were none other than Tang San and Xiao Wu, who had just arrived in Heaven Dou City.

"A single grain of dust can fill the sea, a single blade of grass can cleave a star..."

Tang San muttered to himself, his heart already churning with turbulent emotions.

"The combat power described here probably far exceeds the scope of a Title Douluo, and might even be at the god level?"

Tang San made the comparison in his mind.

Although the Tang Sect world he lived in in his previous life also had internal energy techniques and hidden weapons, it was absolutely impossible for them to achieve this level.

In this era of Douluo Continent, although Title Douluos are powerful enough to destroy cities and capture strongholds, they are absolutely incapable of severing stars!

"Brother, this storyteller is such a braggart!"

Beside him, Xiao Wu, who had come with him to listen to the story, blinked her big eyes, took a bite of a carrot, and looked somewhat incredulous:

"How could grass possibly cut down stars? Even the two most terrifying 100,000-year-old soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest couldn't do that."

"Moreover, he also said that a single grain of dust could fill the ocean, which is an exaggeration."

Tang San sneered at this, shook his head and said in a low voice, "Xiao Wu, perhaps this is just an exaggeration. After all, it's storytelling, and they won't rest until they say something shocking."

"In my opinion, the weaker a person is, the more likely they are to have such fantasies."

"Deceiving yourself, yet presumptuously trying to deceive others."

"If such a world exists, I'll eat it."

……

Meanwhile, on the high platform.

As the storyteller, Su Chen naturally took in the reactions of the audience.

Looking at the wildly fluctuating popularity value on the system panel, the corners of his mouth turned up almost imperceptibly.

This is exactly the effect I wanted!

Although Douluo Continent is also a fantasy world, it is called the sewer, and there's a reason why the floor tiles are like that.

The titled Douluo here, when they fight, are only capable of demolishing a few houses.

Compared to the combat power in "Perfect World" that can destroy the universe and obliterate the Great Dao at will, there is indeed a dimensional gap.

He ignored the shock and doubts of the crowd.

Su Chen picked up his teacup, took a sip to moisten his throat, then closed his folding fan and continued his eloquent narration:

"In that incredibly distant, chaotic ancient era, in the eight regions of the lower realm."

There is a vast and boundless wilderness.

"In the vast wilderness, mountain ranges stretch for hundreds of millions of miles, with ancient trees reaching the sky and blocking out the sun."

"This place is a forbidden zone for humans, a paradise for ferocious beasts!"

"Ancient remnants roam freely, their wingspans resembling clouds hanging from the sky, capable of shattering mountains with a mere flap!"

"Even pure-blooded beings roam, their roars like thunder, shattering the void, feeding on dragons and gods!"

"Humans struggled to survive in this vast wilderness, like ants, establishing tribes in the cracks, offering sacrifices to spirits, and praying for protection."

"And our story begins in a place called Stone Village deep in this wilderness."

……

As Su Chen narrated, it was as if a wild and ancient scene was slowly unfolding before everyone.

The oppressive feeling of humans trembling under the feet of ferocious beasts and struggling to survive was something that everyone present could deeply empathize with.

"Feeding on dragons, gods, and demons?"

On the second floor, Sword Douluo Chen Xin frowned, his fingers lightly tapping the table.

"In this Douluo Continent, although soul beasts are powerful, they are mostly hunted by soul masters to obtain soul rings."

"Even a 100,000-year-old soul beast deep in the Star Dou Great Forest, if Old Bones and I join forces, we might not be unable to kill it."

"But in this wilderness described by the storyteller, are humans so lowly?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi on the other side also sighed: "If such a world truly exists, then it would truly be the darkest hour for humanity."

Meanwhile, Tang San, who had also heard these words in a corner on the first floor, scoffed at them.

After all, in his opinion, this person made up a story, starting off with such a big start, but then completely faltering afterwards.

Everyone knows that the Douluo Continent is mainly about hunting soul beasts to obtain soul rings, but the vast world that the storyteller created was actually forced into such a situation by a few mere beasts.

It's truly unbearable.

Thinking of this, Tang San shook his head again, wanting to leave immediately to find Dai Mubai and the others.

Just then, Su Chen, who was speaking enthusiastically, ignored everyone and changed the subject, continuing his speech.

"And in that stone village, there is an old willow tree that was charred by lightning."

"It was completely charred black, with only a tender green branch remaining, swaying gently in the wind."

"This is the sacred spirit of Stone Village, the Willow God!"

"Bang!"

However, just as Su Chen finished speaking, a deafening slam of the table suddenly resounded throughout the main hall of Tingyuxuan!

Suddenly, a burly man with a face full of scars stood up.

He made no attempt to conceal the fierce aura of a Soul Master emanating from him, and pointing at Su Chen on the high platform, he launched into a tirade of mockery and disdain:

"That's utter nonsense!"

"I thought it was some grand and magnificent world, but after listening to all this and making a fuss, it turns out to be a pathetic world where people are treated like dogs by beasts!"

The burly man's shout instantly shattered the silence in the inn, drawing everyone's attention.

But he didn't care at all; instead, he became more and more enthusiastic, his voice echoing throughout the hall like a booming bell.

"Mere spirit beasts, on our Douluo Continent, are born to be hunted, skinned, and gutted by us spirit masters to obtain spirit rings! To put it bluntly, they are just a bunch of beasts to be slaughtered at our mercy!"

"But in this bullshit 'Perfect World,' not only are humans oppressed to the point of barely surviving by those monstrous beasts, they're actually forced to offer them sacrifices?"

"Not only do they offer sacrifices, but they also offer sacrifices to a dilapidated willow tree that's almost dead from old age and has been charred by lightning?!"

At this point, the burly man couldn't help but sneer repeatedly, and said with a hostile expression:

"You poor, pedantic storyteller, are you deliberately spreading heresy and misleading the public? Intentionally boosting the arrogance of those beasts to belittle the pride of us Soul Masters?"

"What are your intentions?!"

Sure enough, the burly man's words instantly ignited the emotions of the many Soul Masters present.

Yes!

In the Douluo Continent, Soul Masters are the noblest profession! What are Soul Beasts? They're just tools to enhance one's strength!

Immediately, the lobby was filled with discussion and accusations.

"That's right! A charred, broken tree, probably not even worth a ten-year-old soul beast, and you call it the Willow God? It's utterly ridiculous!"

"Plant-type spirit beasts are already at the very bottom of the hierarchy; a single fire can burn them to the ground. Using them as sacrificial spirits to protect a village? There's a limit to how far this lies can go!"

"This kid is clearly just trying to attract attention and disgust us Soul Masters!"

……

Hearing the passionate mockery of the crowd around him, Tang San, sitting in the corner, also chuckled.

"This is an extreme attempt to pander to the crowd."

"To attract attention, they can even fabricate such absurd statements that defy common sense and disregard social hierarchy."

"To worship a withered plant-type spirit beast as a god? To elevate a lowly beast to the heavens? What a pathetic fantasy."

"If this were outside, such a liar spouting nonsense and turning black into white would have had his tongue cut out, his legs broken, and thrown into a stinking ditch by the Spirit Hall or the major sects long ago."

Tang San's words were extremely sharp and sarcastic, and he made no attempt to lower his voice.

However, Xiao Wu, who was sitting to the side, looked rather pale.

Although she also felt that a willow tree charred by lightning could not possibly be a god.

but……

When she heard the words "Soul beasts are born to be hunted," "to be slaughtered at will," and even Tang San repeatedly referred to them as "lowly beasts," she felt a surge of emotion.

Xiao Wu felt as if her heart had been stabbed hard by a needle, a sharp pain that was unbearable.
