Douluo Continent Villain Simulator: Persecuting Qian Renxue at the Start

Chapter 6: Pope Replaced, Su Cheng Becomes Famous

"...Please wait a moment while I go and ask His Holiness the Bishop to personally assess your specific soul power level."

Su Cheng nodded slightly, indicating that she should do as she pleased.

Before long, Bishop Salas, who was stationed at the Martial Soul Branch Hall of Heaven Dou City, hurriedly came to the hall with the female receptionist from earlier, his face full of disbelief.

This immediately attracted the curious peeks of many other people who were lingering in the hall.

Salas clearly didn't want too many people to know about this, so he prepared to find a room to talk to Su Cheng alone.

Su Cheng shook his head and refused, only urging, "Your Excellency, may we assess your soul power level now?"

His purpose today was merely to cast the bait; it wasn't time to haul in the net yet.

Salas couldn't press the matter, so he asked, "Mr. Su, could you show me your martial spirit and spirit rings?"

As he spoke, he set up a soul power barrier to isolate those prying eyes.

After a moment, he finally confirmed that this was indeed a second soul ring of the thousand-year level.

Then he observed Su Cheng standing in front of him.

He had heard of Su Cheng's name. Su Cheng was the adopted son of Chen Xin, the successor of the Seven Kill Sword. He was once a core member of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, but also a useless person with only 0.5 level innate soul power.

And this title has become even more renowned since Chen Xin recently earned the title of Sword Douluo.

However, to possess a second soul ring of a thousand years, which is extraordinary, is truly a miracle, if it were not achieved using soul bones or other high-age materials.

Some ideas suddenly came to mind.

But then Su Cheng suddenly said, "Bishop Salas, there's no need to worry. I never intended to keep this method a secret. In fact, before coming to the Spirit Hall, I had already contacted several publishing houses and told them about the method of absorbing spirit rings across time limits. I believe that related books will be available soon."

Salas was taken aback by what he heard, feeling his rhythm instantly disrupted.

After a moment of silence, he dryly praised, "You are truly selfless."

"Of course, good people are rewarded."

"..."

"I heard that you have now left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. I wonder if you would be willing to join the Spirit Hall? With your research level, I believe that even being invited to the Elder Hall in the main city would be a piece of cake."

Since the person in front of him had already revealed the method, Salas had no choice but to settle for second best.

Moreover, Su Cheng is not some nobody with no background who can be easily manipulated. Although Sword Douluo Chen Xin has only been a Title Douluo for a short time, his unique martial soul determines his extremely high combat power. And although Su Cheng claims to have severed ties with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he is still Chen Xin's adopted son after all, and if something happens, they may not really just abandon him.

There have been some recent disagreements between the Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect, so it's best not to create any further trouble.

"We'll see. I plan to travel around the mainland for a while to refine my theoretical system." Su Cheng didn't agree, but he didn't rule out the possibility either.

joke.

The power of this theory has not yet been demonstrated, and his reputation has not yet spread widely. Who in the Spirit Hall would take him seriously now?

"Can we assess your soul power level now?"

Su Cheng asked for the third time.

"Of course. Please come with me."

After handling all these matters, the simulator did not enter the story fast-forward mode as usual.

With a sudden realization, Su Cheng understood that the matter would likely escalate faster than he had anticipated, so he set about traveling the mainland, also preparing for his return to the real world after the simulation ended.

He never expected that this wait would last for nearly half a year.

During this period, several major events also occurred as scheduled.

First, it was revealed that Tang Hao's wife, Ah Yin, was a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form. Then, the Spirit Hall hunted down Tang Hao and his wife. After Ah Yin sacrificed herself, Qian Xunji was seriously injured by Tang Hao and died after returning to the Spirit Hall.

Then came Bibi Dong, the current Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, who naturally succeeded to the position of Pope. Meanwhile, Tang Hao was wanted by the entire continent, and the Clear Sky Sect went into seclusion.

"The timing is perfect; it looks like the opportunity is just around the corner," Su Cheng thought to himself. "I just wonder if Tang San, the transmigrator, will appear in this simulator world."

Then he shook his head, feeling it was unlikely.

If Tang San were here, he wouldn't even need to lift a finger to destroy the Spirit Hall; he wouldn't deserve an S-rank mission.

The sudden changes at the top did not affect ordinary people.

On the contrary, Su Cheng's name has become known throughout the entire continent in just half a year.

His work, "The Ordinary Man's Counterattack," swept across the entire continent like a whirlwind.

The title was just something he came up with on the spot. Although a different title, like "core competitiveness," might have sounded more sophisticated, the content of the book speaks for itself, so nothing else really matters.

With Su Cheng himself as a real-life example, the credibility is naturally much higher, and many people have tried it and succeeded.

Of course, no one else has yet appeared whose second spirit ring has reached the level of a thousand years.

Su Cheng also mentioned this point in the book.

If a spirit ring is to be absorbed across time limits, it must be gradually increased and improved from the beginning to the end; otherwise, the physical body will find it difficult to withstand the increase.

If the first spirit ring has a lifespan of only 400 years, then while the second spirit ring can slightly exceed the limit, it cannot be too aggressive.

"Master Su recently released a new theory, explaining in detail how to acquire a third spirit ring across time limits! The book also mentions that he has some ideas on how to absorb a ten-thousand-year spirit ring for the fourth spirit ring!"

"What?! Really?! Let me see."

"Master Su Cheng himself is only at the Great Soul Master level, so how did he manage to research the theory of absorbing the third soul ring?"

"Idiot, didn't they figure out the method beforehand when they absorbed their first and second spirit rings?"

"That's true."

"Master Su is truly selfless. He hasn't even achieved the Soul Master level yet, but he's already published his theories."

"..."

Similar remarks occurred throughout mainland China, which was entirely within Su Cheng's expectations.

He had already figured out the method for absorbing the third spirit ring across time limits. After all, the thousand-year spirit ring did not involve spiritual power, and compared with the absorption of the first two spirit rings, it only required adding some acupoints.

"Heh, Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong, can you still sit still this time?" Su Cheng sneered as he watched the frenzied buying of "A Mortal's Counterattack 2" in bookstores everywhere.

The fact that the Spirit Hall hasn't come looking for him recently is somewhat beyond his expectations.

Su Cheng estimated that part of the reason might be that the power shift within the Spirit Hall had taken up too much of Bibi Dong's energy, but the main reason was probably that she felt she had run out of ideas and that with her strength as a Great Soul Master, it would be difficult to make further deductions.

But none of that matters. He still has plenty of cards to play, so it wouldn't hurt to throw in some more bait.

Just as the public was discussing Su Chengxin's newly published theories, related news and comments also poured into the Papal Palace like snowflakes, landing on the desk of the new Pope Bibidon.

"The release of 'A Mortal's Counterattack 2' reveals the secret of Su Cheng's absorption of the third soul ring."

"A true master, a shining star of our time, Su Cheng."

"There is only one master in the world, and that is Su Cheng."

"..."

In the main city of the Spirit Hall, inside the Papal Palace, Bibi Dong looked at the reports and comments sent back from various branch halls, her brows gradually furrowing.

For some reason, she found these reports somewhat jarring.

"What a true master."

Tomorrow we'll start the confrontation with Bibi Dong, then the crucial plot will begin. (This is a signed contract; please continue reading and add it to your favorites.)
