Douluo Continent: Hit me and I'll get your divine gear, Bibi Dong is addicted!

The first rays of morning sunlight shone through the window into the side hall.

Su Chen opened his eyes, waking from his cultivation state. A night of meditation had restored him to his peak condition, his soul power was abundant, and his second soul ring, which had been around for 300,000 years, slowly rotated, its purple-gold light faintly visible around him.

He looked through the system panel.

[Host]: Su Chen

[Physical Constitution]: Mortal Body (Under Sealing)

[Shield Value]: 99999991xxxx/1000000000000

[Soul Power]: Level 34 Soul Master (just one step away from Level 35)

[Physical Strength]: Greatly increased

[Mental Strength]: Greatly increased

"Almost there," Su Chen muttered to himself. "I should be able to break through level 35 today."

Just then, hurried footsteps sounded outside the hall. Yue Guan pushed open the door and entered, a hint of excitement on his face.

"Mr. Su Chen, good news!"

"What good news?"

"News has come from the Hall of Offerings. Golden Crocodile Douluo, Demon-Slaying Douluo, and the Four-Hall Lion Douluo—the three lords will be coming together this morning!"

Su Chen raised an eyebrow.

Three titled Douluo, and from the Hall of Worship, that's quite rare.

When are they arriving?

"9:00 AM to 11:00 AM".

Su Chen stood up and stretched his limbs. He had an hour left to prepare.

"Yue Guan, go and tidy up the side hall. There will be no queue this morning; we'll be specifically there to receive the three lords from the main hall."

Yue Guan nodded: "Understood."

He hesitated for a moment: "Mr. Su Chen, can you withstand being attacked by three Title Douluos taking turns?"

Su Chen smiled and said, "Have you forgotten? I don't lose blood when I'm hit. I can take as many hits as I want."

Yue Guan chuckled to himself. Yes, how could he have forgotten that?

Yue Guan left the side hall, and Su Chen stood alone by the window, gazing at the morning light outside. With the three elders, plus the Golden Crocodile and Demon Slayer who had already come, they should be able to get quite a few good items today.

Moreover, his soul power should have broken through by now.

9:00 AM (巳时).

Three powerful fluctuations of soul energy emanated from outside the side hall.

Su Chen pushed open the door and saw three figures walking towards him from a distance.

Leading the group was Golden Crocodile Douluo, dressed in a golden robe with a dignified expression. Behind him followed Demon-Slaying Douluo, also dressed in a dark gold robe, exuding a composed aura.

The last person was burly and muscular, with short, golden hair standing on end like steel needles, exuding an aura of dominance—it was the Fourth Elder, Lion Douluo, a level 97 Super Douluo.

The three worshippers arrived together, making quite a grand entrance.

The surrounding Soul Masters quickly made way, bowed their heads in respect, and dared not utter a sound.

Su Chen stood at the entrance of the palace, not going out to greet them, but simply nodding slightly.

"Please come in, gentlemen."

Golden Crocodile Douluo was the first to enter the side hall, followed closely by Demon Subduing Douluo, and Lion Douluo entered last, his gaze fixed on Su Chen, looking him up and down.

"You are Su Chen?" the Lion Douluo asked, his voice booming like a bell.

"it's me."

"I heard that you don't lose health when you're hit, and you even drop treasures." A glint of light flashed in the Lion Douluo's eyes. "I'd like to see if it's true."

Su Chen smiled and said, "Whether it's true or not, you'll know once you try."

Golden Crocodile Douluo stepped forward: "Mr. Su Chen, the three of us have come here today to have a good time. What do you suggest?"

Su Chen thought for a moment: "One at a time, each person makes five consecutive moves. The dropped items are yours, I won't interfere."

"Alright!" Lion Douluo was the first to respond, "I'll go first!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo and Demon-Slaying Douluo did not argue with him and stepped aside.

The Lion Douluo walked to the center of the hall, his soul power surging. Nine soul rings appeared neatly: two yellow, two purple, and five black. A golden lion phantom appeared behind him, opening its massive jaws and letting out a silent roar.

"Mr. Su Chen, I apologize for the inconvenience!"

As soon as he finished speaking, golden soul power burst forth. This attack was incredibly powerful, tearing the air apart and producing a sharp, explosive sound.

Soul power landed on Su Chen, and an invisible barrier appeared, neutralizing all attacks. Su Chen remained completely still.

[Ding! Attacked by Lion Douluo (Level 96)!]

[Shield Value -192]

Physical strength greatly increased!

[Slight increase in soul power!]

[Dropped Item: Purple-grade Lion Spirit Pill x1]

A purple pill fell to the ground, emanating a strong lion-like aura.

Lion Douluo raised an eyebrow: "Purple level? Not enough."

He put away the pills, and the second attack followed immediately.

[Ding! Under attack from Lion Douluo!]

[Shield Value -192]

[Dropped Item: Black-grade Lion Soul Bone Fragment x1]

A black fragment fell, its surface bearing lion stripes.

A hint of satisfaction flashed in Lion Douluo's eyes: "Black level, not bad."

The third strike.

[Ding! Under attack from Lion Douluo!]

[Shield Value -200]

[Dropped Item: Red-grade "Roar of the Lion" Soul Skill Scroll x1]

A crimson scroll fell, exuding an aura of dominance.

Lion Douluo's pupils contracted as he bent down to pick up the scroll. Under the probing of his spiritual power, his breathing became rapid.

"Roar of the Mad Lion... A self-created soul skill? After cultivation, it can unleash sonic attacks, covering a range of 100 meters, with power proportional to soul power?"

He looked up at Su Chen, his eyes filled with shock: "This...this is a long-lost sonic soul skill!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo and Demon-Slaying Douluo exchanged a glance, both seeing envy in each other's eyes.

Sonic wave-type soul skills are extremely rare, and when cultivated to their peak, they can kill without leaving a trace. The Lion Douluo's martial soul is a lion, and he is naturally good at roaring, so this scroll is practically tailor-made for him.

The Lion Douluo took a deep breath and solemnly put the scroll into his pocket. He looked at Su Chen, his gaze now filled with respect.

"Mr. Su Chen, thank you."

Su Chen waved his hand: "Two more times, continue."

Lion Douluo nodded and launched his fourth attack.

[Ding! Under attack from Lion Douluo!]

[Shield Value -200]

[Dropped Item: Black-grade Soul Power Breakthrough Pill x1]

The fifth strike.

[Ding! Under attack from Lion Douluo!]

[Shield Value -200]

[Dropped Item: Purple-grade Body Enhancement Fluid x1]

After five attacks, Lion Douluo had reaped a great harvest. He stepped aside, an irrepressible smile on his face.

The Demon-Slaying Douluo couldn't wait to step forward.

"My turn!"

Without wasting words, he went all out. The phantom of the Coiling Dragon Staff appeared in his palm, and golden soul power burst forth.

[Ding! Attacked by Demon-Slaying Douluo (Level 96)!]

[Shield Value -192]

[Dropped Item: Black-grade Panlong Soul Bone Fragment x1]

The Demon-Slaying Douluo frowned: "Black level? I want red."

The second blow.

[Ding! Attacked by Demon-Slaying Douluo!]

[Shield Value -200]

[Dropped Item: Red-grade Panlong Staff Technique Manual x1]

A crimson manual fell to the ground, with four large characters written on the cover: "Panlong Staff Technique".

The Demon-Slaying Douluo's eyes lit up, and he picked up the manual and opened it. The more he read, the more excited he became, and he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

"This is... the ancient Panlong Staff Technique! When mastered to its peak, it can shatter the heavens!"

He looked up at Su Chen, his eyes filled with gratitude.

Su Chen smiled and said, "Continue."

The third strike.

[Ding! Attacked by Demon-Slaying Douluo!]

[Shield Value -200]

[Dropped Items: 10 Purple-grade Soul Power Pills]

Ten purple pills fell and piled up.

The fourth strike.

[Ding! Attacked by Demon-Slaying Douluo!]

[Shield Value -200]

[Dropped Item: Black-grade Panlong Right Arm Bone Fragment x1]

The fifth strike.

[Ding! Attacked by Demon-Slaying Douluo!]

[Shield Value -200]

[Dropped Item: Red-grade Martial Soul Evolution Fluid x1]

A bottle of crimson liquid fell, emitting a faint dragon's breath.

Demon-Slaying Douluo held the evolution fluid, his hands trembling. If his Panlong Martial Soul could evolve, his strength would experience a qualitative leap.

"Mr. Su Chen, I am deeply grateful!"

Su Chen waved his hand and looked at Golden Crocodile Douluo.

Golden Crocodile Douluo stepped forward, not in a hurry to attack, but looking at Su Chen: "Mr. Su Chen, your soul power fluctuations are stronger than yesterday. Are you about to break through?"

Su Chen nodded: "Almost there."

Golden Crocodile Douluo took a deep breath: "Then I'll lend you a hand."

He held nothing back, unleashing his full power. Golden soul energy surged forth like a raging torrent, slamming heavily into Su Chen's chest.

[Ding! Attacked by Golden Crocodile Douluo (Level 96, Full Power)!]

[Shield Value -220]

Physical strength greatly increased!

[Soul power surges!]

Breakthrough!

[Current Soul Power: Level 35 Soul Master!]

[Dropped Items: Red-grade Golden Crocodile Soul Bone Fragment x2]

Two crimson fragments fell.

Su Chen closed his eyes, feeling the surging soul power within his body. He was now level 35, one step closer to becoming a level 40 Soul Master.

Golden Crocodile Douluo picked up the fragments and put them into his pocket. He did not continue to attack, but stepped aside.

The three elders took turns attacking, and Su Chen's divine shield value was consumed by nearly two thousand points. His soul power broke through level 35, and his physical body and mental power also improved significantly.

The side hall was quiet for a moment.

Lion Douluo spoke first: "Mr. Su Chen, from now on, you are my friend. In the Spirit Hall, anyone who dares to touch you is going against me."

The Demon-Slaying Douluo nodded, "Me too."

Golden Crocodile Douluo didn't speak, but his attitude said it all.

Su Chen smiled and said, "You three are too kind. Feel free to come anytime you want to try your luck at treasure hunting."

The three exchanged a glance, and all saw satisfaction in each other's eyes.

Just then, hurried footsteps sounded outside the hall. Yue Guan pushed open the door and entered, a strange expression on his face.

"Mr. Su Chen, someone has arrived outside."

"Who?"

"A messenger from Tiandou City says he is here on the orders of His Highness Xue Qinghe to deliver a letter to you."

Su Chen raised an eyebrow.

Xue Qinghe?

That was Qian Renxue's disguised identity.

Why would she write a letter to herself?
