Douluo: Martial Soul Asura Sword, Supreme Killing God

At the same time, Chen Xin and Gu Rong also stood up abruptly, their eyes filled with disbelief.

"A second ring after a thousand years, and a fourth ring after nearly ten thousand years? How is that possible?" Gu Rong frowned and said in a deep voice.

"Not only that," the disciple quickly continued, "accompanying her was a man wearing a dark red mask named Shura."

This person was equally extraordinary. He fought against a level 59 offensive Soul King with level 55 Soul Power, without even releasing his Martial Soul. He defeated his opponent solely with a sword formed from his Soul Power and a pair of black-gold wing-like Soul Bones.

Moreover, according to spectators at the scene, he seemed completely immune to fire attacks, remaining unharmed despite being burned by the opponent's fourth soul skill.

"Soul power transformed into a sword?" A glint of light flashed in Chen Xin's eyes. "To be able to transform soul power into a sword and to do it to this extent, one must at least have entered the realm of sword intent. This person's talent in swordsmanship must be quite good."

"Old Swordsman, you wouldn't happen to be interested in that kid, would you?" Gu Rong asked in a deep voice.

Chen Xin snorted coldly, ignoring him, and turned her gaze intently to Ning Mingyuan: "Sect Master, why don't we go and take a look ourselves tomorrow?"

Ning Mingyuan pondered for a moment, tapping his fingers lightly on the armrest, and finally nodded.

……

Heavenly Dou City Imperial Palace

Inside the Imperial Study, Emperor Xue Ye of the Heavenly Dou Empire sat behind his dragon desk, reviewing a mountain of memorials.

He still looks middle-aged, with an imperial air about him.

At this moment, a secret agent dressed in black entered the room like a ghost and knelt on one knee: "Your Majesty, a major event has occurred at the Heavenly Battle Arena today."

Emperor Xueye raised his head, put down the vermilion brush in his hand, and rubbed his temples: "Speak."

The spy gave a detailed account of what happened that day, especially emphasizing Bibi Dong's terrifying soul ring configuration.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xueye's eyes flashed with a sharp light: "Can you find out their whereabouts and origins?"

If such talents could be put to use by the empire, the power of the Heavenly Dou Royal Family would be greatly enhanced!

"Your Majesty, the information they provided about the Great Soul Arena is likely false. They seem to have sensed being followed and vanished into thin air in an alley; no one knows where they went."

Emperor Xueye frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "Increase the investigation efforts for me, at all costs, and find out their identities!"

"Yes!"

The spy accepted the order and withdrew.

……

The Heavenly Dou City Martial Soul Branch Hall.

"A spirit ring configuration that surpasses the limits? A man and a woman, both wearing masks?"

After listening to his subordinate's report, the Platinum Archbishop seemed to be deep in thought.

The image of the elder he had received the day before, and the young boy and girl who had accompanied him, flashed quickly through his mind.

He suddenly realized something.

No wonder those two could have the elder personally accompany them; it turns out they possess such terrifying talent and strength.

These two are definitely geniuses secretly cultivated by the Spirit Hall.

"There's no need to investigate this matter any further," the Platinum Archbishop waved his hand and said calmly. "You may leave."

"Yes."

……

Of course, it's not just these few forces.

The Great Soul Arena is a melting pot of people, and news spreads like wildfire. More and more factions will receive the news; it's only a matter of time.

For a time, undercurrents surged in Tiandou City, with various forces secretly investigating the sudden appearance of Su Mo and his companion.

Chapter 48 The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's Test

the next morning.

The number of people at the Heaven Dou Grand Arena was significantly greater than usual, making it exceptionally lively.

Even though Su Mo and his group only participated in one individual match yesterday, after half a day of buzz, the names of Shura and Spider Emperor had become widely known and spread throughout all the major and minor forces in Tiandou City.

Most of the people who flocked to the scene were spies from various forces within or near Tiandou City.

Their sole purpose was to gather information about Shura and his companion, and perhaps even to find an opportunity to win them over.

Before long, Su Mo and Bibi Dong, under the cover of Golden Crocodile Douluo, quietly appeared on the street not far from the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena.

Golden Crocodile Douluo immediately concealed his aura and hid in the shadows, guarding the area from the shadows.

When Su Mo and his companion entered the Heavenly Dou Arena, they immediately attracted countless gazes.

Su Mo didn't care about this at all. He pulled Bibi Dong straight to the registration office and registered for a two-on-two team battle.

This time, their battle arena was set up at the second sub-arena.

As soon as the news spread, the audience seats of the second arena were instantly filled, and even the aisles and railings were crowded with people.

Su Mo and his companion faced a relatively weak opponent, a male-female duo.

One of them is a level 53 control-type battle spirit king, and the other is a level 52 power-attack-type battle spirit king.

The ending was a foregone conclusion.

Su Mo still did not release his martial soul. He easily won the match by relying solely on his soul power to form a sword and his external soul bone, combined with Bibi Dong's Death Spider King poison.

Cheers erupted from the crowd.

……

Inside a VIP box in the Grand Arena.

"Chen Xin, what do you think of them?"

Ning Mingyuan sat on the soft sofa, taking in the scene below through the one-way glass.

His gaze remained fixed on the two young figures on the field.

Chen Xin stood behind the sofa, dressed in pristine white, with his hands clasped behind his back, and said calmly:

"Shura has already reached the Sword Intent Realm, and has reached its peak. He may only need an opportunity to step into the Sword Domain Realm. This boy's talent in swordsmanship is indeed remarkable."

"Oh?" A hint of surprise flashed in Ning Mingyuan's eyes. "Even you give such an evaluation. It seems this boy is indeed extraordinary."

Ning Mingyuan stood up and straightened his robes: "Let's go, let's go and meet them."

The two left the private room.

……

As soon as Su Mo and his companion stepped out of the passage, they saw several people walking towards them.

Leading the way was an elderly man with a refined and scholarly demeanor, a kind face, and a gentle smile on his lips.

Behind him followed a middle-aged man in white with a stern face, tall and steady.

Just then, the mental transmission from Golden Crocodile Douluo resounded in Su Mo's mind:

“Xiao Mo, they are from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. The elder in the lead is the sect master Ning Mingyuan, and the middle-aged man in white behind him is their sect guardian Douluo, the level 93 Sword Douluo Chen Xin.”

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?

Su Mo's heart stirred slightly.

He knew nothing about Ning Mingyuan, but he was very familiar with the future sect leader, Ning Fengzhi.

A troublemaker with little real power, yet always eager to stir up trouble and manipulate events between various factions.

Su Mo didn't try to avoid it. He stopped and quietly watched the other person approach.

Ning Mingyuan stopped three meters in front of the two, his gaze sweeping over Su Mo and Bibi Dong, a signature gentle smile on his face.

"Young Brother Shura, Miss Spider Queen, greetings. I am Ning Mingyuan, the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Yesterday, I happened to hear that two exceptionally talented geniuses had arrived at the Heavenly Dou Great Soul Arena. I was very curious and thought I would like to come and get to know them."

Having witnessed your brilliance today, I am truly impressed. Would you two be so kind as to extend a conversation?

Ning Mingyuan bowed slightly, adopting an extremely humble posture, and spoke in a gentle and sincere tone. He did not seem like the leader of the most prosperous sect on the continent at all, but rather more like a kind old neighbor.

Chen Xin stood quietly behind Ning Mingyuan, without saying a word, but her gaze occasionally fell on Su Mo's mask, with a hint of scrutiny.

Su Mo said calmly, "Let's go."

Ning Mingyuan's smile deepened, and he stepped aside to gesture for them to enter: "Please, both of you."

The group walked through the corridor and returned to the VIP box.

"Please have a seat, both of you," Ning Mingyuan said.

Su Mo didn't stand on ceremony and pulled Bibi Dong to sit down on the sofa.

Bibi Dong leaned against him, seemingly unconcerned about all of this.

At this moment, Ning Mingyuan asked, seemingly casually, "May I ask where you two are from?"

Su Mo said indifferently, "This is a rural place, not worth mentioning."

Ning Mingyuan didn't press further, and continued with a smile, "Then may I ask who your master is, young friend Shura? With such mastery of swordsmanship, your master must be no ordinary person."

"I figured it out myself," Su Mo replied casually.

Ning Mingyuan laughed heartily: "Young friend, you are truly a prodigy. You have reached the peak of sword intent without any teacher. I admire you."

Su Mo said frankly, "Sect Leader Ning, please speak plainly about what's on your mind."

Ning Mingyuan was slightly taken aback, then laughed heartily: "Brother Shura is quite straightforward. In that case, I won't beat around the bush either."

His gaze shifted to Bibi Dong, and he said with a smile:

"The Spider Queen's soul ring configuration is truly unheard of. I've lived most of my life and this is the first time I've ever seen anything like it."

"I wonder how Miss Spider Queen managed to do that? If you are willing to tell me, my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will definitely offer something that will satisfy you both in exchange."

Bibi Dong said calmly, "I'm sorry, Sect Leader Ning, I have no comment."

Ning Mingyuan wasn't annoyed and laughed, "Alright, I was presumptuous. Such a secret technique is indeed not something that can be easily revealed to others."

He then changed the subject and asked, "Then, I wonder if you two young friends have joined any faction?"

"No," Su Mo replied.
