Douluo Continent: My True Form Descends, My Physical Body Achieves Sainthood

The Heavenly Soul Empire is located in the northeastern corner of the Douluo Continent, bordering the Star Luo Empire to the south and the Douling Empire to the east.

Tianling City is located northwest of Shrek City.

To avoid the clutches of the Iron Blood Sect, Tang Ya specifically chose to live in the suburbs of Shrek City.

After two days of travel, Lu Chen and Tang Ya finally arrived at the second largest city in the Heavenly Soul Empire.

The entire Tianling City covers a vast area, and civilian soul-guided technology can occasionally be seen within the city.

Although not as prosperous as the Sun and Moon Empire, it far surpasses ordinary cities.

The streets are bustling with people, brimming with the vibrant atmosphere of daily life.

Prices here are much more affordable than in Shrek City.

"Come and try some freshly made candied hawthorns, they're sweet and sour!"

"Freshly steamed buns, big meat buns straight from the steamer, only five copper soul coins!"

"Fengweige's new store is open, and braised soft-boned rabbit, steamed soft-boned rabbit, charcoal-grilled soft-boned rabbit... are all half price."

Today only! Welcome to come in and try our food!

"..."

Although Lu Chen had just returned from the modern society of One-Punch Man, he still found this exotic scene quite unique.

As the two were walking, Lu Chen suddenly noticed a soul-guided roasting oven on a street stall.

This oven has a very high-tech appearance, with various mechanical parts rotating around the central furnace.

Clusters of orange-red flames sizzled and grilled the large chicken leg above, oozing oil.

It makes people's appetites grow.

Before Lu Chen could make a move, Tang Ya had already darted out beside him.

She approached the vendor, sniffed slightly, and pointed to the crispy chicken leg on the grill, asking:

"It smells so good! Boss, how much are these chicken legs?"

Upon seeing a customer, the shop owner immediately put on a smiling face and started promoting his products.

"These chicken drumsticks are roasted in a professional soul-guided oven, ensuring even cooking and a flavor far superior to hand-roasted ones!"

One Silver Soul Coin per item, no cheating!

"What?! It's so expensive?!"

Tang Ya, who had been full of enthusiasm, immediately wilted upon hearing the price and lost all interest in bargaining.

These past two days, Lu Chen has been like a starving ghost reincarnated, his stomach is like a bottomless pit, and he can eat several days' worth of food in one meal.

Spending money like water.

She now only has ten silver soul coins left, which is still the two of them's living expenses for the future.

Tang Ya turned around and glared helplessly at Lu Chen: "Let's find something else to eat."

Until we find a way to make money, we have to be careful with every Soul Coin we use.

Lu Chen coughed awkwardly, "Don't worry, Sister Xiaoya, I'll go make some money in a bit."

"Tch, so you don't have any money."

The shopkeeper, seeing the expressions on the two men's faces, knew he had run into penniless bastards.

His initial enthusiasm vanished instantly, and he said indifferently, "If you're not going to buy, then leave. Don't block my business."

"you!"

Tang Ya was immediately furious and was about to argue with him.

A slightly lazy, somewhat cynical voice suddenly cut in from the side:

"Boss, when you're in business, harmony brings wealth. Ordering such a pretty young girl around like that isn't in line with the hospitality of Tianling City."

Lu Chen raised an eyebrow and looked in the direction of the sound.

The crowd parted automatically, and a boy of about thirteen or fourteen years old walked over, waving a jade-ribbed folding fan that seemed to be for showing off his refined taste.

He was dressed in a dark purple silk robe, with a translucent mutton-fat jade pendant hanging at his waist.

He was dressed in the typical attire of a noble young master.

The boy had fair skin and a handsome appearance, but his slightly squinted peach blossom eyes always revealed a sleepy look.

"This... young master."

The boss's expression changed. To make a living in Tianling City, having a keen eye is a basic skill.

Judging from the other person's attire, he knew they were someone of importance, so he quickly put on a fawning smile:

"You're right, I'm bad with words, I'm bad with words!"

Seeing the boy approach, Lu Chen stepped forward, subtly shielding Tang Ya behind him, his eyes slightly cold.

At the same time, I felt a little helpless.

Is it possible that we'll encounter a pretentious young nobleman who puts on airs and humiliates us as soon as we enter the city?

However, to Lu Chen's surprise, the young man didn't even glance at the pretty Tang Ya.

Instead, as if she had discovered a rare treasure, her peach blossom eyes suddenly widened, and she stared intently at Lu Chen.

A brilliant glint flashed deep in his eyes.

Lu Chen felt a chill run down his spine under that stare, and his heart skipped a beat.

Holy crap, could this guy not be interested in women, but instead has his eye on me?

"Bei Yu Xuan".

The young man suddenly closed his folding fan and bowed slightly to Lu Chen.

His tone remained lazy, but now carried a hint of arrogance:

"Eldest son of the Bei Yu family in Tian Dou City, a level 35 control-type Battle Soul Master."

Upon hearing this, the barbecue owner was immediately taken aback:

"It's actually the eldest son of the Duke of Beiyu who has arrived! I'm so sorry for not greeting you properly, young master Beiyu!"

"Bei Yu family?"

Lu Chen was puzzled; he had never heard of this surname before.

However, this guy's introduction is quite unique. What kind of Soul Master would reveal all their secrets as soon as they meet?

Tang Ya, who was standing next to him, quickly leaned close to his ear and whispered an explanation:

"The Duke of Beiyu is one of the six dukes of the Tianhun Empire. His family controls most of the hotels, guesthouses and other entertainment venues in the Tianhun Empire."

Duke Beiyu himself is in charge of the Northwest Army of the Heavenly Soul Empire, which is dedicated to resisting the forces of the Sun and Moon Sea. He is extremely powerful!

I heard that he had a son late in life and doted on his eldest son immensely, but no one has ever seen him in person.

The Bei Yu family's residence is in Tian Dou City, not too far from the Tang Clan, and Tang Ya knows some of the details.

Lu Chen's eyes flickered slightly. This Duke of Beiyu was quite powerful, as he was able to control the army.

Moreover, a thirteen-year-old War Soul Master is definitely considered a top genius in the Heavenly Soul Empire.

Even on par with Shrek.

"What's up?"

Lu Chen remained calm and was not intimidated by the other party's background.

No matter how strong your background, you only have one life.

Seeing that Lu Chen showed no fear after hearing about his background, Bei Yuxuan's eyes gleamed even brighter.

A pair of eyes swept over Lu Chen.

"Stop looking, I'm not into that kind of thing!"

Lu Chen felt a chill run down his spine and quickly refused.

"Uh... what do you mean by 'that bite'?"

Bei Yuxuan was taken aback, not quite understanding, but didn't delve into it. He looked Lu Chen over again and smiled with satisfaction:

"I see you're a strong and fit guy, but you're short on cash. How about we team up and go to the 'Life and Death Arena' in the beginner's arena for a round?"

I'll cover the tickets; as for the winnings, we'll split the profits 30/70.

"A life-or-death arena?" Tang Ya exclaimed in surprise.

That's a gambling arena where there are no restrictions on soul power level, and only victory or defeat matters!

Lu Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he instantly realized:

So this guy has taken a liking to me because he wants me to be his henchman!

However, the Arena is indeed the fastest way to make money.

Generally, the Soul Arena will match opponents of similar strength based on factors such as the Soul Master's Soul Power Level and Soul Battle Experience to ensure fairness in the initial Soul Battle.

There's no need to worry too much about Soul Masters encountering situations like Soul Venerables.

If you can win in a row, and combine that with betting, becoming rich overnight is not difficult at all.

At the same time, it seems to be a famous and desirable place.

What could be more impactful than sweeping away powerful enemies in the Soul Arena with the body of a Soul Warrior?

Lu Chen's eyes flickered as he asked, "We've never met before, are you so sure I can win?"

Bei Yuxuan smiled confidently: "My martial spirit is extremely sensitive to the flow of qi and blood."

In my view, your soul power fluctuations are only around level ten, but your internal energy and blood...

It's practically like a thousand-year-old spirit beast disguised in human skin!

He suddenly became excited, "If Elder Chen, a Soul Douluo, hadn't confirmed it, I would have thought you were a transformed soul beast!"

A thousand-year-old soul beast! That's equivalent to a Soul Venerable or Soul Sect expert!

Although the strength of one's Qi and blood does not represent true combat power, with such a powerful physique, one's strength must be considerable.

If this were to enter the Soul Arena, it would definitely be a dark horse.

Bei Yuxuan could already see large amounts of gold soul coins being thrown at him.
