Douluo V: Daily Intelligence - I Want All of Tang San's Opportunities

Su Yuntao unleashed a series of nine consecutive claw strikes, each one more ferocious than the last. When the final claw struck, the wound was already deep enough to expose the bone.

Lu Heng winced in pain, his brows furrowed, and his gaze darkened completely.

He knew he could no longer hide.

"boom……"

With a muffled bang, the number of spirit rings on Lu Heng's body suddenly increased to five.

A jet-black fifth spirit ring rose from beneath his feet, causing his spirit power to surge, and several fine cracks appeared on the ground centered on him.

The temple members and branch temple deacons present were all stunned, and someone blurted out:

"A fifth spirit ring? Didn't he say he was a level 44 Spirit Master? How could he be..."

Salas's face darkened, and he immediately began to explain:

"This was arranged by me. I heard that Su Yuntao had once killed three wanted criminals at the Soul Venerable level on his own. I was worried that ordinary Soul Masters wouldn't be able to force out his true strength, so I had Lu Heng hide some of his strength. I was also afraid that he would be under too much pressure and not be able to perform normally, so I didn't tell him in advance. This was also for his own good."

He spoke in a grand and dignified manner, but no one present was a fool.

The temple members exchanged glances but remained silent.

Their eyes were clearly full of disbelief, but because of Salas's status, no one dared to call them out on the spot.

Su Yuntao did not pause at all because the other party had revealed his fifth spirit ring.

After Lu Heng unleashed his full Soul King power, it was as if he had been given a clear goal, and there was no need to test him anymore; he could just go all out.

He activated the Silver Moon Steps beneath his feet, and seven afterimages appeared in the blink of an eye. The alternating illusions made Lu Heng's vision blur.

The full power of the Thirty-Six Claws of the Rending Wind was unleashed to its limit at this moment.

Thirty-six claw-like rays overlapped one another, and the power of each ray, driven by the internal energy of the Xuan Tian Gong, converged into a continuous torrent, tearing a gap in Lu Heng's defenses and striking him directly in the chest and abdomen.

Lu Heng's massive body was suddenly sent flying backward.

"Bang"

Lu Heng's massive body slammed heavily against the wall with a dull thud, sending dust flying.

He slid down the wall and sat down, the claw marks on his chest still gleaming with a bluish-gray sheen. It took him a long time to regain his balance.

The entire room fell silent.

The deacons of the Notting branch temple all gaped, their eyes wide with astonishment.

This is their branch hall master who recently broke through to the Soul Venerable realm.

This is the same Su Yuntao, the steward who, just a few months ago, sat behind his desk like them, flipping through files, and occasionally went to the countryside to awaken the martial spirits of the children.

Not to mention them, even the people from the Heavenly Dou Martial Soul Temple present were stunned.

Lu Heng's soul power is undeniable, and every soul master who can enter the Spirit Hall is a top performer among their peers.

This very same Soul King was defeated in a direct confrontation by a Soul Master, and the defeat was utterly indisputable.

An older Templar Knight shook his head and sighed softly:

"Now I finally understand why Lord Chrysanthemum Douluo thinks highly of him. As expected, the judgment of a Title Douluo is beyond our reach."

The other person next to him nodded in agreement and didn't say anything more, but everyone was reassessing Su Yuntao's importance in their hearts.

Salas, who was sitting in the main seat, unconsciously tightened his grip on the lid of his teacup for a moment, making a slight cracking sound.

He looked down and noticed that there were already some cracks on the lid of the teacup.

He calmly placed the teacup lid aside, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and maintained a composed expression on his face, but the dark anxiety in his eyes was impossible to hide.

Such formidable physical attributes and such skillful combat techniques.

With the rank of Soul Master, he defied the Soul King and won cleanly and decisively. No wonder Chrysanthemum Douluo took a liking to this young man.

Such combat ability to challenge opponents of higher levels is rare even within the entire Spirit Hall.

But the more this is the case, the less we should allow it to develop freely.

Salas's mind raced.

The situation was now beyond his control, and he had seen all the changes in the expressions of the people passing by.

Everyone who had initially looked disappointed in Su Yuntao now sat up straight, their eyes filled with admiration.

It's impossible to make Su Yuntao fail the assessment completely. With so many eyes watching, he can't openly cheat during the scoring process.

So how should we arrange things for him?

Before he could come up with a solution, a Templar Knight next to him suddenly stood up.

The man was about forty years old, with a strong build and a loud voice. He strode up to Su Yuntao, his tone filled with undisguised admiration:

"Lord Sufen, your skills are truly wasted in Notting City. I watched the entire battle just now. Your claw technique is both offensive and defensive, and every attack is timed to coincide with the opponent's reaction time. It would be impossible to reach this level without decades of honing your skills. It truly makes me feel ashamed."

Su Yuntao cupped his hands slightly and said, "You flatter me, senior."

"No compliments!"

The Templar Knight waved his hand, his tone firm and resonant:

"I won't waste any more words. What our Templar Knights lack is someone with your formidable combat strength. I won't mince words with you. I'll get straight to the point. In the Spirit Hall, although our Templar Knights are more dangerous than other departments, our benefits are the highest of all. As long as you're willing to join, with your current level, your basic salary is 100 gold soul coins a month, plus a certain amount of soul beast meat every month. In addition, every time you are promoted, the Knights will send a higher-level soul master to assist you in acquiring soul rings."

He paused, staring intently at Su Yuntao, as if afraid of being interrupted, and continued:

"If Brother Su agrees, you can come back to the Heavenly Dou Imperial City with us today and report to the Knights Templar."

As these promises were made, the eyes of all the branch hall stewards around them lit up.

One hundred gold soul coins a month—this treatment is several times better than what they received at the Notting branch.

Is there a monthly supply of soul beast meat?

If they wanted to eat a piece of soul beast meat at the Notting branch, they had to take their own weapons and venture into the Soul Hunting Forest to risk their lives.

Not to mention the last one, which involves sending out higher-level Soul Masters to assist in acquiring Soul Rings.

Many Soul Masters' paths are blocked at the stage of acquiring Soul Rings.

In a forest teeming with spirit beasts, finding one that matches your spirit and age is like finding a needle in a haystack, not to mention the dangers you might encounter along the way.

It is no exaggeration to say that this one point alone is enough to make the vast majority of Soul Masters risk their lives for it.
