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

Su Yuntao folded his wings and landed not far from the ground, then walked to Leng Qiushan's side to confirm that he was no longer breathing.

He squatted down and searched through Leng Qiushan's belongings and pockets one by one, storing them in his storage ring.

After doing all this, he stood up and looked up at the top of the cliff. Kundera and the city guards were standing on the edge of the cliff looking down. More than two hundred meters away, Su Yuntao could not see the expressions on their faces, but he could feel that all their eyes were focused on him.

As he put away the Golden Roc Wing Bone and walked back up the gentle slope from the bottom of the cliff to the top, the surrounding air instantly became much quieter.

Those gazes, which were originally filled with greed and probing, have now all turned into awe.

If Su Yuntao had succeeded in his sneak attack, those around him could have said something like "he was lucky" or "he took advantage of someone's vulnerability."

But now, he chased Leng Qiushan, the Soul Emperor, all the way from the city to the outside world in full view of everyone, and finally killed him head-on at the edge of a cliff.

From breaking through the protective soul force to the pursuit and death, the entire process was clean and efficient, without the slightest element of luck.

Those thoughts that had been stirring within them because of the Golden-Winged Roc's soul bone were extinguished at this moment, replaced by a purer sense of awe.

A Soul Emperor-level expert is already a top-tier combat force in Barak City, but now, he has been killed head-on by a young man who looks to be no more than forty years old. Everyone feels a sense of unreality.

Kundera stood at the front of the crowd, his gaze lingering on Su Yuntao for a long while.

His original impression of Su Yuntao was that he was just a courageous and resourceful junior who was lucky enough to be killed by the Golden-Winged Roc.

But at this moment, he began to re-examine the young man before him.

The casual look in his eyes was gone, replaced by a respect for someone of equal standing.

He was silent for a moment, then stepped forward, his tone much more serious than before:

"Viscount Su, congratulations on being able to kill your enemy. You truly deserve to be called a young hero."

Su Yuntao returned the greeting with a cupped hand:

"Your Majesty flatters me. It was only because the enemy was pressing too hard that I had no choice but to accept the challenge."

He didn't elaborate on the grudge between Leng Qiushan and himself, and Kundera didn't press for details. He simply picked up the conversation naturally, and as they walked back, they discussed the arrangements for conferring the viscount title the next day:

"Tomorrow at noon, I will host a banquet at the city lord's mansion to formally confer upon you the title of viscount."

Su Yuntao's heart skipped a beat. According to the normal procedure, the conferment of the title of viscount usually requires several days of preparation and review. Kundera set the time for tomorrow, which was obviously because he had seen his strength and deliberately brought it forward.

But he didn't refuse and nodded in agreement.

The two walked back to the city lord's mansion, and the city guards and attendants around them kept their distance. Kundera did not mention the Golden-Winged Roc and the Soul Bone again.

Upon arriving at the side hall of the city lord's mansion, after everyone had left, Kundera lowered his voice and spoke:

"Viscount Su, I noticed you used a weapon when we were dealing with the Golden-Winged Roc. It didn't look like an ordinary soul tool, and it was actually able to damage a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast like the Golden-Winged Roc. That's truly unbelievable. I've always been quite interested in these kinds of weapons. I wonder if I could see it?"

Without hesitation, Su Yuntao took out the Zhuge Crossbow from his storage ring and placed it on the table.

Kundera took it and examined it carefully for a while, his fingers lightly pressing on the spring and arrow slot twice, his eyes showing obvious interest:

"Based on this structure... it doesn't require soul power to operate?"

Su Yuntao nodded: "No soul power is needed. Ordinary people can get started with simple training."

Kundera's gaze lingered on the Zhuge Crossbow for a long while, his fingers gently tracing the patterns on the edge of the spring, his tone clearly serious:

"How powerful is it exactly? I saw you test it on that Golden-Winged Roc before, but I don't know how effective it is against ordinary Soul Masters?"

Su Yuntao thought for a moment and answered truthfully:

"Within its range, it can kill Soul Masters below level 40. If the level is higher, it cannot break through the opponent's Soul Power Protection. Of course, sneak attacks are another matter."

After listening, Kundera paused for a moment, then his eyes gleamed with undisguised excitement:

"It can actually kill a level 40 Soul Master? That's something no ordinary Soul Tool could do. Viscount Su, where did you get this weapon? Would you mind telling me?"

Su Yuntao picked up his teacup, took a sip, and replied in a flat tone:

"A friend of mine made this for me to use for self-defense."

Upon hearing this, Kundera's attitude became even more fervent than before, and he said earnestly:

"Viscount Su, you must introduce me to your genius friend. The price is negotiable. As long as we can reach an agreement, our Kingdom of Barak will never let you suffer a loss."

Su Yuntao put down his teacup and quickly made a mental calculation.

Although the Grandmaster has already said he will contact the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Heaven Dou Empire, the Barak Kingdom is also a considerable market, and having another partner is not a bad thing.

He nodded immediately and said, "Okay, but you and my friend need to discuss the specifics of the cooperation."

The Tang Sect was the first firewall he set up, Shrek Academy was the second, and Tang San was the third.

If possible, he didn't want anyone to know that he was involved with Tang Clan's hidden weapons.

You can take the money, but try to avoid the dangers as much as possible.

Kundera, of course, was unaware of his inner thoughts. Seeing that he had agreed, he picked up his teacup with satisfaction and did not ask for further details. He simply said that they would discuss the details after the matter of the viscount title was settled.

The viscount conferment ceremony on the second day was held in the main hall of the city lord's mansion, and the scale was much more formal than Su Yuntao had expected.

Almost all the powerful figures in the Kingdom of Barak were present, and clearly one night was enough for the news of Leng Qiushan's death to spread throughout the core circle of Barak City.

The nobles and officials present looked at Su Yuntao with undisguised curiosity and scrutiny. A young man who had killed a Soul Emperor head-on as a Soul Master would attract attention wherever he went in this world where strength was paramount.

The ceremony proceeded smoothly. Kundera personally handed a title document bearing the royal seal to Su Yuntao, which specified the title rank and the corresponding fief location.

To Su Yuntao's surprise, this was actually a real title, not the honorary one he had originally thought it was.

A title of nobility means that he not only has a title, but also an actual fief.

Although that fiefdom was located on the border near the Star Dou Great Forest and was not particularly wealthy, it was indeed a territory that belonged to him.

After receiving the documents, Su Yuntao nodded to Kundera, and the ceremony slowly came to a close amidst applause and attentive gazes.
