Douluo: On Becoming a God through Science

"Take me with you too."

The sound and the picture were synchronized. After hearing the sound and seeing the picture, Daming and Erming's beastly faces froze.

What was being played was the scene where Xiao Wu had a hopeful expression on her face, grabbing You Chen's arm, and begging You Chen to take her away from Notting City.

biu——.

You Chen pressed the button, ended the playback, and took back the soul guide.

"and many more!"

Er Ming made the Erkang hand gesture, as if he just wanted to take a closer look at Xiao Wu's voice, appearance and smile, and he didn't care even if she showed that kind of expression to other men.

Daming asked with a complicated expression: "Who...are you? Did Xiao Wu tell you about our relationship with her?"

Although the man in the picture is dressed differently from the man in front of him, it is obvious that they are the same person.

As for the suspicion that the video was fake? Although the video was indeed real, the Ming Dynasty was obviously not smart enough to consider the possibility that the video could be faked.

Just like many people now don’t know or don’t believe that there are scammers who can use AI to simulate the appearance of someone you know when video calling you.

Especially the complex and vivid expression that flashed across Xiao Wu's face made Daming firmly believe that this was a real person and he didn't have any doubts at all.

"It's just simple reasoning."

You Chen silently took out a pair of glasses, put them on his nose and gently pushed them up, and said, "I met Xiao Wu in the town on the edge of the Xingdou Great Forest. As my cultivation level improved, after I discovered that she was a 100,000-year soul beast, based on the current information about the 100,000-year soul beasts in the Xingdou Great Forest, it was not difficult to infer that you two might be connected. More importantly, just now, in order to save my life, I naturally did everything I could. In order to grasp the last straw, I would instinctively want to believe and try any possibility."

Daming nodded, agreeing with this statement very much.

After all, it could never have imagined that someone could think and analyze calmly, or even make careful calculations, in that situation.

This kind of thing, let alone soul beasts, has already exceeded the cognition of most people in this world.

It is a mysterious realm that only You Chen, who is undoubtedly the best in the world in terms of spiritual talent and potential, can reach.

"In the end, it was us who were exposed?"

Daming stared at Youchen deeply and asked, "Human, how is Sister Xiaowu doing now?"

You Chen sneered and spread his hands, "Didn't you see it just now? I didn't take her away. It's been several years since we last met in Notting City. I have my own things to do. How do I know how she's doing?"

When Er Ming saw You Chen's expression, he immediately labeled him a heartless scumbag. He was furious and glared at him. He said in a muffled voice, "Boy, don't think you can get away with this! Even if you are related to Sister Xiao Wu, it can't cover up your previous wanton slaughter of soul beasts!"

Er Ming was indeed angry, but how could the death of these brothers compare to the news of Sister Xiao Wu?

He was just taking advantage of the situation at the moment, using this rhetoric to threaten You Chen and vent his anger towards You Chen!

The things that I long for but cannot obtain are discarded by the other party like old shoes...

How it wished that it was itself that was being pulled back by Sister Xiao Wu!

How could this not make Er Ming angry! ?

However, You Chen just looked at Er Ming as if he was a fool and said, "Soul beasts and humans are inherently hostile to each other. What's so strange about me killing soul beasts? Soul masters hunt soul beasts, and soul beasts hunt soul masters. This is the natural law."

Er Ming's blood boiled all over his body, and he said angrily: "Could it be that you also think the same about Sister Xiao Wu!? As expected! As expected! Human soul master who is born evil, I will beat you to death here with my own hands!"

You Chen's face showed a trace of sympathy. "After soul beasts transform, they belong to us humans, and there is no reproductive isolation between them and humans. After the seventh ring, they are completely the same as human soul masters. Even if someone wants to use the righteousness of killing soul beasts to hunt down the soul rings and soul bones of transformed soul beasts, it is just a cover for killing people and fighting for treasures. But you, the two of you, as soul beasts, are still concerned about your companions who have defected to the human camp. Aren't you a bit too nosy? Whether in terms of race or lifespan, you are completely different creatures."

This is a lie. After the soul beasts transform, although there is no reproductive isolation from humans, they still retain the blood of soul beasts and will pass it on to their descendants. This is also the reason why Xiao Wu has an innate sense of closeness to Tang San.

But how could Da Ming and Er Ming understand this? When they heard this, they were all shocked.

They don't quite understand things like race and reproductive isolation, but the difference in lifespan is something even soul beasts can understand immediately.

There is naturally a world of difference between a life that only has a lifespan of a hundred years or at most a few hundred years and those that have survived the heavenly tribulation and can survive for at least another hundred thousand years.

Chapter 152: Setting foot on the sea

"Roar! Didn't you say that it is natural for soul beasts to hunt soul masters? Fine, then go and die now!"

Understanding does not mean acceptance. When Er Ming heard this, he suffered a huge blow to his spirit. He could no longer bear it and was about to attack You Chen.

Of course, although he said "go to hell", Er Ming actually wanted to capture You Chen.

It also needs to get information about Sister Xiaowu from You Chen!

Since this bastard human is unwilling to cooperate, we have to force him to speak out!

"Er Ming!"

Daming shouted in a deep voice, and controlled Erming with a flick of his tail. In Erming's puzzled look, he said to Youchen: "Maybe you are right, but even if there is a difference in lifespan and race, it doesn't matter. We and Sister Xiaowu were not of the same race from the beginning, we are just soul beasts. What connects us is not blood, but emotion and spirit!"

Daming showed a somewhat depressed look at first, but soon, as he spoke, the depression gradually dissipated and turned into a firm look: "Even if Sister Xiaowu becomes a human, she is still our family! This will never change!"

You Chen showed no expression at all in response to Daming's resounding declaration.

After all...what the hell does this have to do with him?

If you are really so capable and determined, why do you just talk to Xiao Wu yourself? Why are you talking to him about this here?

"What a bunch of soul beasts you are. You're not messing around with these pretentious things because you want to entrust Xiao Wu to me, right?"

You Chen instantly understood some of Daming’s thoughts.

As expected, the next moment, Daming lowered his head and said sincerely: "Human, although you rejected Sister Xiaowu, since Sister Xiaowu is willing to follow you, it proves that Sister Xiaowu trusts you. So--"

"Brother, this guy is untrustworthy! He just slaughtered so many of our companions!"

Erming started yelling.

Rather than being indignant for its dead brother, it was more filled with indignation, because it had already guessed Daming's thoughts from his tone.

"Why, why would Big Brother want to give Sister Xiao Wu to this kind of rubbish! Even if, even if it's not me, it would be fine if it's Big Brother!" Er Ming thought angrily in his heart.

"Shut up, Erming!"

Da Ming glanced at Er Ming sternly and said, "What this human brother said is indeed true. The racial conflict between human soul masters and soul beasts is there. But, since he is willing to regard Sister Xiao Wu as a human, what does this difference have to do with us?"

He turned around and continued sincerely: "Human, you are so powerful that you can protect Xiao Wu through this dangerous period before she completely transforms. In addition, you recognize Xiao Wu's identity as a human... Can I entrust Xiao Wu to you?"

"So what can you offer me as a reward?"

You Chen smiled slightly: "For your little sister Wu, can you sacrifice yourself to me?"

Daming's pupils shrank. No matter what, it could not have imagined that You Chen would suddenly say something that was equivalent to "you should commit suicide."

But Er Ming couldn't stand it anymore.

"How dare you humiliate my brother! I will beat you to death!!!"

Er Ming thought that his previous collision did not kill You Chen, so he did not have too many concerns about his actions.

Seventy percent of the strength is exerted, and the remaining thirty percent is not exerted, just to prevent unexpected situations and to allow some of the strength to be retracted.

But how could such half-baked strength and speed pose a threat to You Chen?

A cold light flashed in You Chen's eyes, and as soon as the Sacrifice Sanctuary opened, the suppressive force of Er Ming's gravity field was instantly weakened by more than half.

Under Erming's shocked gaze, he easily dodged Erming's attack.

At the same time, You Chen did not forget to use his supersonic sound to taunt Er Ming, "I just felt that beating was not enough."

The next moment, a dazzling golden sword appeared in You Chen's hand, with extremely sharp air blades gathered on the sword - a thousand strikes in an instant!

“Gua ...

Er Ming let out an earth-shattering scream, as if his back had been cut by countless swords. The blood pouring down like a river instantly dyed the surrounding ancient trees into a blood-red forest.

"Er Ming!"

Daming exclaimed, and the slow field was immediately deployed. At the same time, he quickly sent a message to Youchen: "Human soul master, stop it! I can take this as a lesson for your rude words to Erming, but if you attack again, even if you have a relationship with Sister Xiaowu, I will treat you as my mortal enemy! I can see that your injuries have not healed either. Do you really want to do something that will not benefit you!?"

You Chen felt the influence of the slow field and looked at Daming coldly, but did not make another move.

He looked at Daming and said calmly, "This idiot first gave me a great gift when we met, and then he offended me again and again. I don't know how you got the nerve to say that you would entrust Xiao Wu to me. What I want to do with Xiao Wu is my own business."

Daming remained silent, and did not retort like Erming, saying "You were the first to kill the soul beasts." Because both sides knew that this was a meaningless argument.

And in the moment of silence, You Chen turned and left without any reluctance.

Only Daming was left standing there, deeply troubled and worried about not being able to obtain any information about Xiaowu from You Chen, and then he let out a sigh.

……

After absorbing the soul ring, You Chen can leave the scene safely at any time.

The reason why he stayed and had a fight with Daming and Erming was entirely to avenge the blow Erming gave him. He wanted to make things difficult for them. As for planting a thorn in Daming's heart, it could only be said that it was done conveniently.

After today's contact, the next time we meet, we will have a real discussion.

In the blink of an eye, one day passed.

With You Chen's physique, he had recovered to his full strength after just a short period of recuperation, and soon arrived at Hanhai City, which is near the sea in the west of Douluo Continent.

This Hanhai City is originally a relatively prosperous city among coastal cities. After the Beast Soul Chamber of Commerce deliberately raised the price of seafood, the prosperity here has been further enhanced.

You Chen only used his mental power to investigate briefly and discovered that many powerful high-level soul masters gathered here.

You Chen did not rush out to sea, but hid in the city while fully unleashing his mental power, completely covering the entire Hanhai City and began to collect information about its current sea area.

Although the intelligence gathered by the Beast Soul Alliance was already very detailed, it could not be more efficient than You Chen's direct on-site investigation using his mental power.

However, its advantage is that the intelligence covers a wider range.

You Chen's move was more about comparing it with the existing intelligence to determine whether there were any outdated or erroneous aspects. After all, intelligence was very time-sensitive.

"Have you heard? The Earl of Will's own fleet returned in a very miserable state the day before yesterday! There were about 200 people in the entire fleet, but only five or six people managed to return alive!"

"You must be kidding me, right? I heard that there are Soul King and even Soul Emperor level warriors on that ship, as well as top sailors and navigators. Even ten thousand year level sea soul beasts can't threaten them. How could this happen? You must be kidding me, right!?"

"Why would I lie to you? If you ask me, it must be because those people were too greedy and wantonly exploited the resources of the sea, which made the Lord of the Sea angry!"

Soon, You Chen obtained some useful information.

During the period when Prince Xuexing was attracting attention to the Beast Soul Chamber of Commerce, and with the Beast Soul Chamber of Commerce investing heavily, it did trigger a wave of going out to sea.

Because it's not just the Beast Soul Chamber of Commerce that's spending money. The Qibao Chamber of Commerce and other chambers of commerce have seen the moves of the Beast Soul Chamber of Commerce. Just like the whale jelly craze in the past, seeing the Beast Soul Chamber of Commerce's way of spending money without treating it as money, they are worried that some new era gold will emerge, so they have all squeezed into this market.

The price of seafood was suddenly pushed up to a level that was not what it should be. Countless civilians and soul masters have been moving towards coastal areas and sea transportation over the past six months.

Even if seafood was nothing special at the beginning, it has been shrouded in a special halo with the help of so much capital.

There is no need for the Beast Soul Chamber of Commerce to specifically tinker with the market for soul beast resources. As a large number of people go out to sea, collisions with sea soul beasts are inevitable.

Guarding, hunting, selling sea soul beast resources... the market naturally formed.

But in the past half month, this wave of going overseas has shown some signs of decline.

The benefits are indeed attractive, but the heavy casualties have also discouraged many people after their enthusiasm has cooled.

The most obvious reason for this is...

'Sea Soul Master.'

Several powerful fleets did not suffer damage from the sea soul beasts, but instead encountered pirates and suffered heavy losses.

Judging from the discussions of these people and the combat qualities of the pirates they mentioned, it is hard to imagine what kind of poor and remote place could produce pirates that even the Soul Emperor could defeat...

This is obviously a regular sea soul master disguised as a pirate.

As for the legitimate sea soul masters in the sea area, You Chen could not think of any other forces except the Sea God Island.

Obviously, it was probably the excessive invasion of the ocean by the land-based soul masters that caused dissatisfaction on the part of Sea God Island.

Marine resources come second.

What’s important is that in this process, a large number of sea soul beasts were hunted by human soul masters.

Compared to the past, the death rate of sea soul beasts has increased tenfold or even a hundredfold.

As more and more parts of sea soul beasts were discovered to be used as food or materials, the resources of sea soul beasts began to surpass some seafood and became the mainstay of the market.

This is enough to touch the nerves of Poseidon Island.

After all, under the rule of Sea God Island, the conflicts between sea soul masters and sea soul beasts are not as sharp as those between land soul masters and land soul beasts.

Land soul masters who have not had much contact with sea soul masters would never imagine that they would attract attacks from soul masters because of their large-scale hunting of sea soul beasts, and would only regard these sea soul masters as pirates who are after money.

Such actions by the Sea God Island are undoubtedly detrimental to You Chen's plundering of soul beast resources.

However, You Chen has no plans to respond to this for the time being.

His goal was naturally to prioritize completing the fifth and sixth soul rings of his second life.
