Douluo Continent, Boss's Martial Soul, Geniuses Work for Me

The boss is actually... that strong?

Ling Qingyue stared blankly at the corpse of the Ice Fang Mantis for a moment.

She had initially thought Shang Luo was a support-type martial soul, but now it seemed his combat power was probably no weaker than hers.

Her mind was filled with a multitude of thoughts:

I initially thought the boss hired her for protection, but now it seems the one who needs protection is actually her, the employee...

The boss is so strong, his training must be even more arduous than mine!

A sense of guilt rose in Ling Qingyue's heart.

She made up her mind:

I must work even harder, even harder than the boss!

Shangluo was completely unaware that in those few seconds, Ling Qingyue had manipulated him.

At the same time, a series of prompts popped up in front of Shangluo.

[Employee - Ling Qingyue killed the Three Thousand Year Ice Fang Mantis, Funds +5]

Shangluo raised an eyebrow, surprised that the funds arrived so easily.

It seems that as long as his employees keep working, he can get a steady stream of funds.

His gaze shifted to the corpse of the Ice Fang Mantis.

Purple Soul Ring.

A full three thousand years.

"Although the attributes are extremely compatible, this is still far beyond the limit of what can be absorbed."

Shangluo shook his head regretfully. He originally thought it was just a soul beast that had entered its second thousand years of life, but because it absorbed the ice marrow, it had become more than a thousand years older!

"Do you want to change...?"

Shang Luo was interrupted by Ling Qingyue's stubborn voice before he could finish speaking.

There was no hesitation on her pretty face, which was covered in blood.

"Boss, I want to absorb it."

Shang Luo's expression froze for a moment, then he said calmly, "Qingyue, do you know what you're saying?"

He didn't want to go back to being a lone commander after just recruiting employees.

Ling Qingyue was taken aback when she heard the name "Qingyue".

After her parents died, very few people called her that anymore.

Ling Qingyue placed her cold hand on the back of Shang Luo's hand, then gently pushed his hand away.

Her eyes, as calm as a lake, were now burning with a scorching and resentful flame.

"I know it's dangerous."

Her voice was very soft, like a goose feather about to fall.

"But I know I need strength even more."

"If I had been stronger, I wouldn't have made that mistake."

"Besides, Li Hu's revenge could come at any time, and I can't rely on you for everything."

Ling Qingyue said nothing more, turned around and resolutely walked towards the deep purple soul ring, then sat down cross-legged.

Shang Luo stood frozen in place, his gaze passing through Ling Qingyue's slender back.

Even someone with loved ones is willing to go all in, yet this all-powerful boss is hesitant and afraid to take the plunge.

That's really embarrassing.

Shang Luo sat down not far from Ling Qingyue, keeping a close eye on her condition.

A hint of relief flashed in his eyes.

With his employees working so hard, the boss must feel really gratified.

……

"Well--!"

After the spirit ring was drawn into her body, the enormous energy exploded within Ling Qingyue's body like billions of ice needles!

The extreme cold seemed to freeze her blood.

Its extreme sharpness seemed capable of severing her tendons and veins.

Ling Qingyue let out a muffled groan, blood seeping from the corner of her mouth.

No one has ever been able to withstand a three-thousand-year-old soul ring in the second ring.

However, with the blessing of a god-level martial soul, Ling Qingyue broke through a thousand years in the first ring.

Their physical condition has also been greatly improved.

Unfortunately, under the pressure of the Ice Blade Mantis's powerful spirit rings, Ling Qingyue's expression became increasingly painful!

Bloodstains were seeping from her snow-white skin beneath her clothes.

Subtle, sharp sword intent emanated from her body, tearing her close-fitting clothes into tattered pieces.

It was clear that Ling Qingyue was about to be completely naked.

Shangluo knows.

Can't delay any longer.

He quickly arrived behind Ling Qingyue, circulated his soul power, and activated the Frost Moon Sword Martial Soul, injecting a trace of coolness from the Frost Moon Sword into her body through her spine.

"Hmm~"

Feeling the coolness in her meridians, Ling Qingyue let out a comfortable moan, and the chaotic soul power within her body suddenly began to organize.

A sliver of color returned to her pale face.

One hour later.

Ling Qingyue's soul power grew stronger and stronger, and her expression gradually calmed down.

Shang Luo breathed a sigh of relief; the most dangerous time had passed.

With Ling Qingyue's talent, she should be able to handle the rest of the process with ease.

Shangluo rubbed his sore wrists and stood up.

He then realized that Ling Qingyue was no longer wearing a single piece of intact clothing.

A vast expanse of snow-white seems to leap out...

Shang Luo blushed and quickly turned around, taking out a black coat from his soul tool and gently covering Ling Qingyue with it.

He kept complaining to himself.

The fantasy world is full of creative possibilities!

His clothes exploded after he casually absorbed a spirit ring.

Although Shangluo had lived two lives, he was just a corporate slave before his rebirth, and he had never seen anything like this before!

……

at the same time.

A dark purple light flashed.

A spirit beast crashed to the ground, revealing a ten-year spirit ring.

Zhu Zhuqing, dressed in a black outfit, had a cold expression, and her beautiful black eyes showed no emotion whatsoever.

The soul beasts on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest are too weak, so the training effect is limited.

But just as she was preparing to venture deeper, intense battle fluctuations suddenly emanated from a thicket of thorns.

This immediately caught her attention.

So she quietly slipped into the thorn bushes.

When she arrived, the battle had just ended.

The ground was littered with century-old Silver Moon Wolf Soul Rings and wolf corpses.

One of them even had a purple, thousand-year-old soul ring floating on it.

It was the corpse of the Silver Moon Wolf King.

Zhu Zhuqing was filled with shock. Who could possibly have the strength to kill an entire wolf pack?

Could it be that we've encountered a team of Soul Masters hunting Soul Beasts?

Then, upon closer inspection, she witnessed an extremely disgraceful scene.

A boy was standing, looking down at a naked girl.

This scene.

It had a really big impact on her.

Although she matured early in Douluo Continent, she was still just a young girl in her early teens.

Her usually cool and aloof face flushed bright red.

She felt both ashamed and angry.

Zhu Zhuqing hated frivolous men the most, especially those lecherous men who frequented places of debauchery!

I never expected that this young man, so young and handsome, would be doing such a despicable thing as taking advantage of others!

She gritted her teeth and said, "Damn scoundrel!"

Then it transformed into a purple meteor and rushed straight towards Shangluo!

After confirming that Ling Qingyue was alright, Shang Luo breathed a sigh of relief.

But before he could rest, a sharp sense of crisis pierced the back of Shang Luo's head!

Someone attacked!

Shangluo reacted extremely quickly, shifting his body slightly, and a dark shadow pierced past with a sharp gust of wind.

"Hmph, you reacted pretty quickly."

Seeing that her attack had failed, Zhu Zhuqing snorted coldly, quickly landed, and adjusted her posture.

Only then did Shangluo see who it was.

He looked the girl up and down in her tight black clothes.

A soft "hmm" was heard.

"A cat-type martial soul?"

In the original work, who else could be a girl with such an aura as the Netherworld Cat but Zhu Zhuqing?

Seeing Shang Luo's undisguised gaze, Zhu Zhuqing sneered inwardly.

He really is a lecherous scoundrel.

I'll kill you today!

"rogue!"

"Netherworld Thrust!"

A yellow soul ring lit up around Zhu Zhuqing's body, and then a black cat clung to her. She touched the ground with her toes and stabbed at Shang Luo at an odd angle.

"rogue?"

Shang Luo's brain froze for a second, then he glanced at Ling Qingyue, who was about to finish absorbing the soul ring, and suddenly realized what was going on.

Zhu Zhuqing thought she was taking advantage of someone's misfortune and doing something despicable.

No!

You're not young anymore, but your imagination runs wild!

"I think you're the one who's a scoundrel!"

Shangluo, feeling helpless, retorted to Zhu Zhuqing, but his reaction was quick.

He pointed two fingers together, and a snow-white Frost Moon Sword appeared.

The moment the Frost Moon Sword appeared.

The temperature in this forest plummeted.

A few snowflakes even drifted in the air.

Zhu Zhuqing felt a chill run down her spine and couldn't help but marvel.

What a powerful sword!

It is both sharp and icy cold.

Who would have thought that this lecherous scoundrel had such a powerful martial spirit!

Just as Shang Luo was about to unleash his soul skill, a sword light was even faster than him!

Whoosh-!

The icy blue and sharp soul power exploded between Zhu Zhuqing and Shang Luo.

A Frost Moon Sword was plunged into the ground.

Zhu Zhuqing felt a sharp pain in her cheeks from the rising wind.

He was horrified; the newcomer possessed terrifying strength!

Ling Qingyue's icy blue eyes were like black ice as she protected Shang Luo behind her, her snow-white hair flying wildly under the sword intent.

She held the Frost Moon Sword, its tip pointing diagonally at the ground, and her body emanated a chill even colder than ten-thousand-year-old black ice.

His tone was cold and detached, each word distinct and clear.

"So it was you who tried to mess with my boss?"
