Douluo Continent: I Can Summon Heroic Spirits

Chapter 85 Even the so-called gods must call me Master!

As soon as he finished speaking, the air suddenly became quiet.

Xuanzi paused, holding the wine gourd, because he noticed that Yan Shaozhe was staring at him with a subtle look.

"Could it be...?" Xuanzi swallowed hard and pointed to his nose.

Yan Shaozhe nodded solemnly: "I'm counting on you, Elder Xuan. After all, you just... well, the one you're most afraid of in your subconscious right now is definitely you."

Xuanzi's expression turned strange.

It’s over.

I could have just beaten him up when I didn't know his identity, but things are different now! This person is not only the teacher of Tang San, the ancestor from ten thousand years ago, but also the true ancestor of Elder Mu!

Hitting Elder Mu's ancestors? How could he possibly do that!

Xuanzi subconsciously looked at Mu En in the wheelchair.

Mu En sighed and shook his head helplessly: "It's alright, Xuanzi, go do it, saving lives is the priority."

Having received the patriarch's approval, Xuanzi took a deep breath and suddenly turned around.

"Damn it! What did you teach me?"

With a thunderous roar, Xuanzi grabbed a palm the size of a fan, but didn't dare to use much force. With a crisp "smack," he slapped Yu Xiaogang away.

Yu Xiaogang spun around in the air two and a half times before crashing into the corner of the wall with a thud.

The world is finally quiet.

After a while.

Yu Xiaogang, who had been lying on the ground, slowly regained consciousness. He covered his swollen cheek and looked around in confusion: "What happened to me? Why does my face hurt so much?"

"It's alright, Master. You were just too excited and almost suffered a qi deviation. It was this Elder Xuan who intervened in time, using a powerful technique to disperse the blood stasis and save you," Yan Shaozhe said nonchalantly, without batting an eye.

"Oh—so that's how it is! Thank you, thank you so much for saving my life, Elder Xuan!" Yu Xiaogang felt a little uneasy when he saw Xuanzi, but he still nodded and thanked him repeatedly.

Xuanzi turned his head away guiltily and coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment.

After expressing his gratitude, Yu Xiaogang still felt like he was dreaming. He came to his senses and asked again, "Xiao San—he really became a god?"

Yan Shaozhe nodded affirmatively: "Absolutely true. Moreover, Shrek's secret scrolls not only record the Sea God, but also you."

"Not only Tang San's ancestor, but you also successfully broke the shackles of martial soul mutation later on."

"Not only is his martial soul no longer useless, but he has also cultivated to level ninety-three, becoming a true Title Douluo!"

"A Title Douluo?! Me?!"

Yan Shaozhe and Xuanzi recounted to Yu Xiaogang the events that had occurred over the past ten thousand years, as well as the subsequent records of the master in historical books.

Before being summoned to this era, Yu Xiaogang was still worried about the mistress who had been captured by Dugu Bo.

Although he had settled down in Erlong's academy, he was still full of confusion about his future.

But now, the junior in front of him suddenly told him that his disciple not only became a god in the future, but his theories were recognized by the entire continent, and even he himself eventually broke the curse of talent and became a titled Douluo.

Yu Xiaogang was deeply shaken and it took him a long time to barely process this somewhat unrealistic information.

"Sun and Moon Continent — Soul Guidance Devices —"

Yu Xiaogang unconsciously muttered these unfamiliar words.

As a theoretical master, he should have been very concerned about these unknown things, but at this moment, he couldn't listen to anything else.

What really mattered to him was that he had become a Title Douluo!

It should be noted that although he boasted of his unparalleled theoretical knowledge, he was not a pure scholar at heart, nor did he embark on this path out of a love for learning.

As the eldest son of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, one of the three upper sects and once the number one beast spirit in the world, he was expected to achieve great things from a young age. He dreamed of becoming a powerful Title Douluo and, like most Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon spirit masters, he admired power.

That's why he became Tang Hao's fan after Tang Hao killed Qian Xunji.

But the reality was cruel to him—

His first dream was shattered by his innate half-level soul power.

Despite the family's best efforts to nurture him, he was stuck at level 29, shattering his dreams for the second time.

He later joined the Spirit Hall, but after searching through countless scriptures, he still couldn't find a way to break through, and his dream was shattered for the third time.

Three failed attempts left Gangzi utterly devastated, unable to accept the fact that he was a failure. This led him to turn to theoretical research, attempting to prove himself and seek a pathetic form of self-comfort.

But now, his juniors are telling him that not only has he broken through, but his martial soul has also evolved into the Golden Sacred Dragon (which is actually Mu En's Light Sacred Dragon), which could only be summoned by the Golden Iron Triangle's martial soul fusion technique back then, and he has even become a Title Douluo!

What's the point of studying theories then!

"Tell me quickly! Does the Shrek Academy have any records of how I did it?!"

Yu Xiaogang suddenly raised his head, staring intently at Yan Shaozhe.

Yan Shaozhe said in a deep voice, "Master, according to historical records, the reason why your martial soul was able to evolve was because of the immortal herb that Tang San's ancestor brought back from a treasure land."

Yu Xiaogang has asked the right person. In order to help his disciple Ma Xiaotao solve the problem of evil fire, Yan Shaozhe has repeatedly consulted the ancient books of the Sea God Pavilion, hoping to learn more about how Ma Hongjun's ancestor suppressed evil fire ten thousand years ago.

Although much of the content about his ancestors' private lives recorded in that history book was unbearable to read, the words "treasure land" and "immortal herb" were deeply engraved in his mind.

"Where? Where is that treasure land? Tell me quickly!" Yu Xiaogang asked urgently.

Yan Shaozhe shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Our ancestor Tang San didn't leave behind any specific location."

At this point, a bitter feeling welled up in his heart.

His disciple Ma Xiaotao's evil temper was getting stronger and stronger, and she even injured people on several occasions. He had to rely on his position as the dean to quell the situation.

If he couldn't find the treasure land recorded in the history books, or find a Soul Master with the ultimate ice attribute, he really didn't know how to protect Xiao Tao.

Upon hearing this, the master lost his composure. This was a problem that had troubled him for most of his life! Now that he knew the solution, and even his future glorious achievements were laid out before him, he was being told that he couldn't find the place? How could he not be anxious!

"Isn't Shrek Academy the strongest power on the continent right now? How come they can't even find a place here—sigh!"

Yu Xiaogang was so anxious that he kept slapping his thigh, but after a moment, he forced himself to calm down.

Since he has already succeeded in history, it means that his mistress will bring the magic herb back to him sooner or later.

Then all he has to do is go back to the past, right?

Thinking of this, he quickly looked up and said, "Juniors, since that's the case, then quickly find a way to let me go back!"

Yan Shaozhe and Elder Xuan exchanged a glance, both astonished: "Master, you—weren't you personally sent down by the Sea God?"

"What? A mistress? No, that's not it." Yu Xiaogang was stunned.

Elder Xuan frowned, his expression one of surprise and doubt: "But the place where we found you is the very area where Lord Sea God and those associated with the Angel God are fighting."

Seeing Yu Xiaogang's blank and clueless expression, the eagerness in Yan Shaozhe and Elder Xuan's eyes immediately faded.

Originally, we thought this master was a manifestation of the Sea God, sent down to save Shrek from his predicament. But it turns out it was just an accident.

Disappointment was evident in both of their eyes, but there was nothing they could do; after all, he was Elder Mu's ancestor, and they could only serve him for now.

"Alright then, Master, please stay at the Sea God Pavilion for now. As for how to send you back, Shrek Academy will need to investigate that further."

"Okay, but you guys have to hurry!"

Yu Xiaogang urged impatiently. He was eager to return home. While evolving his martial soul and becoming a titled Douluo was important, what ignited his passion even more was another shocking piece of news he had just heard.

The mistress has become a goddess!

According to legend, deities can take their relatives with them when they ascend to the divine realm.

The mistress not only became a god, but not just any god! Once she followed him to the realm of gods, as the mentor of the mighty Sea God and Asura God, how could her status be low?

By then, I'm afraid even those so-called gods will respectfully call me Master!

Thinking of this, a proud smile involuntarily appeared on Yu Xiaogang's stiff and rigid face.

Dark, gray clouds had gathered in the sky above Mingdu, and a light drizzle began to fall continuously, casting a damp mist over the cold city.

The three of them came out of the house.

Ye Chenxing raised her head and glanced at the oppressive dark clouds above.

"In my opinion, London may not be as melancholy as our Ming capital."

Beside him were Gu Yuena and Qian Renxue.

Upon returning to Mingdu, the three of them naturally went home quietly.

There was no other way; Ye Chenxing had previously told Kong Deming and the others that he was in seclusion for cultivation, so he naturally had to go all out with the act.

Moreover, taking advantage of this opportunity, he has already come up with a new excuse that can solve everything once and for all, so that he won't have to spend time explaining his whereabouts every now and then.

Ye Chenxing withdrew his gaze from the rain and turned to look at Qian Renxue: "Sister Xue, every time I summon you—let's leave aside the time at night, what did you do in broad daylight last time? Did you just disappear on the spot while you were in class?"

'

Qian Renxue blinked and pondered for a moment with a serious expression.

"I don't just disappear. I raise my hand and tell the teacher that I have something important to do and have to leave. Because I'm your older sister, they usually don't ask about the specific reasons or stop me."

"I see----"

Ye Chenxing imagined the scene: she would make an excuse to run away during class, then disappear completely, and return after a big battle outside. If she did this a few more times in the future, would the people in the academy think that Qian Renxue was some kind of magical girl carrying the mission of saving the world?

However, she can indeed transform.

Thinking about it this way, in a sense, could all the female soul masters in Douluo Continent be considered magical girls?

Shaking off the associations in his mind, Ye Chenxing casually asked about the important matter.

"How are Meng and Xiao doing lately? Hasn't Master Jing come to see you?"

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue's body stiffened slightly, and then she fell into an eerie silence.

Ye Chenxing looked at her unusual behavior and his eyes gradually became suspicious: "You—you didn't actually go back to school after I left, did you?"

Qian Renxue turned her head away, a suspicious blush rising on her cheeks. Her eyes darted around, and she stammered, "How...how could that be? I...I just considered it and slightly reduced my attendance..."

Ye Chenxing didn't expose her directly, but instead turned her head slightly and called out to the back.

"A-Gin, is that so?"

Behind them, a graceful figure in purple emerged silently.

Ah Yin held three umbrellas that she had prepared in advance, and gently handed them to the three of them while reporting, "Reporting to the master, Miss Qian has not stepped out of her room since the third day after you left."

'

""

Ye Chenxing's lips twitched.

Sure enough.

Ye Chenxing narrowed his eyes, staring at Qian Renxue.

Qian Renxue gritted her teeth.

Damn it, the enemy's mother is indeed not to be trusted!

"This was indeed beyond my expectations. The golden guard on horseback at the start of the game used his halberd technique and shield bash defense and counterattack in perfect harmony, which was extremely oppressive. As an angel god, I will not allow myself to run away in a fair duel. This is a protracted battle concerning dignity, and I must be on high alert."

"You've ended up battling it out at home for nine months without even realizing it, haven't you?"

"Furthermore, the virtual trial constructed by Master is filled with intriguing schemes. As your servant, I must immerse myself in it multiple times to understand your thoughts. This is my duty!"

If this is really used to express my inner world, then how dark must my heart be? Ye Chenxing thought to himself.

He took the umbrella from Ah Yin and strode out of the house.

Initially, sending Qian Renxue to the Advanced Soul Master Academy was purely out of the hope that she could make more friends of her own age and rediscover some of the missing experiences of ordinary life. Who would have thought that this successor of the Angel God would take such an unconventional approach and become self-taught in skipping classes and playing games?

"Just wait, Sister Xue." Ye Chenxing said without turning her head, "I'll go back and make a DLC for that game right away."

""

"Really?!" Qian Renxue's eyes lit up instantly.

It's true, of course.

Ye Chenxing sneered inwardly, thinking, "Perfect timing to help this internet-addicted girl get rid of her internet addiction."

The three of them, holding umbrellas, walked towards the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Along the way, Qian Renxue seemed to have completely opened up, sharing incessantly her suffering and experiences of clearing the game over the past nine months.

Ye Chenxing listened quietly, but out of the corner of his eye he noticed Gu Yuena standing to the side, lost in thought. Ever since that incident, he had subconsciously started paying more attention to this goddess of life, so he casually struck up a conversation: "Berserker, are you interested in giving it a try? This game is really quite fun."

Gu Yuena was clearly taken aback for a moment, and almost subconsciously blurted out, "I don't really like that kind of fighting and killing. I still prefer playing 'Soulcraft'."

"Oh, I see."

"Soul Dream" was naturally one of the games Ye Chenxing played on the Soul Guide Game Machine. Its gameplay was classic and perfectly suited the simple folk customs of catching soul beasts in Douluo Continent.

However, upon closer reflection, it's quite absurd that Gu Yuena, a dignified ruler of all spirit beasts, secretly enjoys playing this game of catching spirit beasts all over the world with balls.

Ye Chenxing continued walking forward while inwardly grumbling to himself.

Wait, something's not right!

Ye Chenxing stopped and turned around abruptly.

"How do you know about SoulCream? I've never mentioned the SoulCream game console to you!"

Gu Yuena clearly hadn't expected to let something slip. A rare hint of panic flashed across her usually cool and aloof face, and she immediately became incoherent: "I...I...I found it in that small dimension! You had a lot of soul tools piled up in there—I just randomly picked one out—"

"Oh? Is that so?" Ye Chenxing stared at her with a half-smile. "Goddess of Life, how long did you actually stay in that small plane? Not only were you able to accurately find the Soul Guidance Game Console in the pile of junk, but you even played two games?"

"Yes—yes, that's how it is." Gu Yuena forced herself to look away, "It's just—a coincidence."
