Douluo Jueshi: Who let him join Shrek!

Chapter 887 Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, never underestimate a young man's potential!
Amidst the wind and snow, Jiang Ming's figure seemed to be swallowed up, but his arrogant and domineering voice echoed between heaven and earth for a long time, even giving Ling Xiao a deafening feeling.

"I will dominate the skies, and the earth will grovel at my feet!"

Ling Xiao's eyes were glazed over, and the sound around him seemed to echo for a long time.

As Jiang Ming's voice echoed far and wide, the wind and snow seemed to be frozen in place by some terrifying force.

The wind stopped, the snow ceased, and the world, ravaged by the wind and snow, seemed to have been paused, frozen in this moment.

The next second, with Jiang Ming's shout of "Breaking Through the Ice Slash," this scene, which resembled a painting, shattered!
It wasn't that space itself cracked open, but rather that the wind and snow between heaven and earth seemed to have been cleaved in two by a terrifying sword aura!
A very distinct sword mark divided the icy and snowy landscape into two neat halves, as if the wind and snow had been directly cut apart by an infinite force!

This is something no human could do; it was completely beyond Ling Xiao's comprehension.

He knew that Title Douluos could influence celestial phenomena, but even Title Douluos needed to accumulate power to influence celestial phenomena! At the very least, they could have their Martial Soul or Soul Rings.

But he didn't see any of that. All he saw was the man his sister had found, this philandering man, standing between heaven and earth, slashing his sword and cutting through the snow-covered sky!
That's absolutely awesome!
Ling Xiao was deeply shocked. The scene of the wind and snow being cut off, the name of the skill that was still in his mind, and Jiang Ming's extremely arrogant and domineering words left him unable to recover for a long time.

Amidst the wind and snow, a lone figure and a sword cleave the heavens and the earth!
If I allow it, the wind and snow of this world can crown me; if I am troubled, the wind and snow of this world can be swept away with a wave of my hand!

Ling Xiao became more and more excited as he thought about it, and his body even started to tremble.

As a teenager with delusions of grandeur, even though he's already in his twenties, that delusional spirit still burns brightly within him!

"So, did you see it clearly?"

Jiang Ming's voice rang in Ling Xiao's ears. Perhaps because he had just finished showing off, Jiang Ming's voice carried a certain air of authority. That invincible and arrogant aura made Ling Xiao subconsciously submit.

"Look, look carefully!"

Ling Xiao swallowed hard, looking at the snow that had already dissipated around him. The snowflakes drifting in the sky and earth slowly turned into finer snowflakes and fell down with a soft swish.

Because the wind had stopped, all the snowflakes were falling downwards in unison, creating a spectacular sight!
And after all the snowflakes fell, the snowstorm completely stopped.

There was no wind, no snow, and even the sunlight, which had been obscured by snow clouds, shone down.

The sunlight shone on the layer of snow on the ground, refracting into sparks like shattered diamonds, making it extremely dazzling!
"Even if you see it clearly, it's useless. With your cultivation level, you simply can't achieve that effect."

As the older sister, Ling Luochen still told her younger brother this cruel truth.

That move was really cool. Not to mention Ling Xiao, even the rather aloof Ling Luochen was almost made to swoon by Jiang Ming's move.

Scientifically speaking, this move has this effect when Jiang Ming uses it, but if someone else, such as Ling Xiao, uses it, it will be a completely different story.

Even for a level 96 Extreme Ice Super Douluo like her, it would require using the Ice and Snow Goddess's martial soul, or even a soul skill, to achieve this.

"I"

Ling Xiao and his sister Ling Luochen have a very good relationship, but he was somewhat unconvinced when he heard what his hometown said.

What do you mean I can't achieve this effect?

It's just a matter of opening the gates of heaven with one sword and dispelling the wind and snow with another.
I.
He wanted to argue, but couldn't find any reason to do so.

Because what Ling Luochen said was a fact.

This is indeed not something he should be thinking about at his current Soul Emperor cultivation level.

While a Soul Emperor's cultivation level is indeed not weak in the Soul Master world, to say that he has come into contact with such power of heaven and earth is truly absurd.

Ordinary Soul Masters, at the very least, must be Title Douluo to have any attainments in the power of heaven and earth.

Even a genius has to be at the level of a Contra Douluo.

Even a peerless genius would need to be a Soul Saint! Just like Jiang Ming back then.

And the Soul Emperor.
This is truly impossible.

"Hey, Luo Chen, don't dampen Xiao Xiao's enthusiasm! Just because it's not working now doesn't mean it won't work in the future. What's that saying again? Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, never underestimate a young man's potential!"

Jiang Ming said softly, actually standing on Ling Xiao's side and cheering him on.

After all this, Ling Xiao's feelings towards Jiang Ming were subtly changing without him even realizing it.

"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, never underestimate a young man's potential." This is a quote from Xiao Huohuo, the protagonist of the book "Dou Qi Continent" published by Ming Le Chamber of Commerce Bookstore!

Ling Xiao's eyes brightened considerably upon hearing Jiang Ming's words.

Clearly, he had read the book published by the Ming Le Chamber of Commerce.

"Heh, you're reading novels, aren't you?"

Jiang Ming looked at Ling Xiao with some surprise.

Ling Xiao crossed his arms and said aloofly, "Who hasn't read 'Dou Qi Continent,' a book that has swept the entire continent?"

There are indeed few forms of entertainment on the Douluo Continent.

Aside from those competitions based on Soul Masters, such as duels in the Soul Arena and continent-wide tournaments like the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament, other forms of entertainment are indeed quite scarce.

Moreover, those entertainment facilities that require Soul Masters to participate in are far too luxurious for ordinary people.

The price of a ticket to just one day of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament is already calculated in gold soul coins, which is a considerable burden for ordinary families.

However, novels, mahjong, poker, and other forms of entertainment are not only relatively inexpensive, but also provide just as much excitement and entertainment as the competition between Soul Masters!
In fact, the two most recent competitions, the one in Mingdu and the one in Xingluo City, were recorded in full by professional writers and compiled into a book, which is widely sold in the Mingle Chamber of Commerce.

Not only is there a text version, but also a video version that can be viewed directly! Of course, the price is much higher than the text version.

However, even though it's just a text version, the low-profit, high-volume sales method is enough to make Mingle Chamber of Commerce a fortune!

Besides these, there are many others, such as Dou Qi Continent, Perfect Universe, Covering the Sky, and even the story of Shrek's ancestors from ten thousand years ago, all of which have been compiled into books and widely circulated.

The fact that Mingle Chamber of Commerce was able to quickly become the number one chamber of commerce in mainland China in just ten years is not only due to the support and preferential treatment from various forces, but also to its own strength.

They have businesses ranging from soul tools and rare metals to all sorts of rare and precious materials, to novels, mahjong, playing cards, and other popular entertainment. It can be said that they have made money from both ordinary people and soul masters on the continent!
Logically speaking, this business model would definitely be met with difficulties from other chambers of commerce.

After all, taking someone's money is like killing their parents!
However, the Mingle Chamber of Commerce is backed by a truly formidable force.

Shrek Academy and Shrek City need no introduction; they are the hometown of President Zhang Lexuan.

The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School also had a keen sense of opportunity and invested in the early stages, even having some connections with the royal families of the three great empires.

With such a vast network of connections and powerful backers, no one can possibly shake it!

"I told you to focus on your cultivation! What are you doing reading novels!"

Ling Luochen subconsciously brought up her younger brother. Ling Xiao had great talent and was capable of becoming a Title Douluo and inheriting the position of Sect Master of the Xuanbing Sect.

It would be bad if one neglected cultivation due to indulging in frivolous pursuits.

"Sister, I didn't neglect my cultivation. I'm just reading a novel; it won't take long."

When he said this, Ling Xiao seemed a little unsure of himself.

Because he had indeed been a little... well, his cultivation speed had slowed down slightly during this period.

"Alright, it's fine. You can read a novel if you want. You're over twenty years old. You should have some freedom."

Jiang Ming waved his hand and handed the ice sword in his hand to Ling Xiao.

"Let's keep going and get to the Xuanbing Sect first."

Ling Xiao nodded. For some reason, he subconsciously started listening to his brother-in-law.

The distance between Xuanbing Sect and Xuanbing City was not far. Even though Jiang Ming's show-off on the way delayed them a little, the three of them still arrived above Xuanbing Sect in a quarter of an hour.

From the air, the architecture of the Xuanbing Sect is very distinctive; at a glance, it is almost entirely composed of ice sculptures.

Whether it's the arena in the center of the sect or the surrounding buildings, they are all blue and white ice crystal colors.

This environment is very beneficial for ice-attribute soul masters.

"Let's go down."

Ling Luochen said softly.

Then, snowflakes the size of a palm suddenly fell from the sky. She stepped on the snowflakes, her lotus-like steps light and graceful, each step covering a great distance.

As snowflakes fell, she descended silently into the central arena of the Xuanbing Sect, like an ice goddess.

Ling Xiao, upon seeing his older sister's goddess-like entrance, felt a slight stirring in his heart and looked at Jiang Ming beside him.

Jiang Ming raised an eyebrow slightly, knowing that his brother-in-law was trying to show off, so he directly attached a wisp of spiritual energy to him.

The next second, Ling Xiao felt his body was out of control.

He stood with both feet on the ice sword, striking a very aloof pose, but the speed of the ice sword beneath his feet began to increase continuously.

Even as the ice sword spun faster, snowflakes were swept into it, forming a powerful ice and snow tornado in the air.

“Say your lines.”

Jiang Ming's voice rang in Ling Xiao's ears.

"Words?"

Ling Xiao was still a little confused and didn't react immediately.

"Have you forgotten what I just said?"

Ling Xiao then realized what was happening and looked at the snowstorm that had formed beneath his feet. The massive airflow, carrying ice and snow, created an extremely terrifying and powerful pressure.

This entrance scene is definitely enough!
Obviously, this needs to be paired with a perfect line to maximize its sophistication!

Ling Xiao was somewhat excited, recalling what Jiang Ming had just said in his mind, and imitating Jiang Ming's tone, he lowered his voice.

"I will dominate the skies, and the earth will grovel at my feet!"

"Break through the air, icy slash!"

boom!
An ice tornado roared, and a giant ice-blue sword emerged straight out from it, crashing down onto the arena below. The force of the impact instantly sent everyone in the arena staggering!
Ling Xiao, positioned in the center, held an ice sword, which plunged directly into the ground of the arena, his figure falling with it.

Immediately, he gripped the hilt with one hand and hoisted the greatsword onto his shoulder. The wind and snow dispersed, and the pressure generated by the frost tornado vanished along with Ling Xiao's movement.

This entrance, this aura, instantly revealed the arrogance of youth!
Well, at least everyone in the arena stared wide-eyed at the young sect leader in astonishment.

The scene of Ling Luochen descending through the snowflakes was completely overshadowed by Ling Xiao's move!

Of course, given Ling Xiao's current cultivation level as a Soul Emperor, it's highly unlikely that he would pull off something like this.

The frost tornado that brought immense pressure was something that even a Soul Emperor like him couldn't have created.

But with Jiang Ming around, none of this is a problem.

"Young...Young Sect Master"

After a brief moment of astonishment, everyone in the arena immediately surrounded Ling Xiao.

Their gazes were fixed on the enormous ice sword in Ling Xiao's hand, especially the boys, who were drawn to it as if it possessed some kind of deadly allure.

The girls, on the other hand, went to Ling Luochen's side.

Ling Luochen has a rather cold personality, but that's just how ice-attribute soul masters are.

Moreover, sects are different from academies; sects offer lifetime employment.

The girls in the arena now are basically all friends of Ling Luochen since childhood.

Even though I went to Shrek Academy later and we barely had time to keep in touch, this friendship is still there now that I'm back.

"Holy crap! This is... this is a flying sword soul tool from the Ming Le Chamber of Commerce?! That speed just now, it must be at least a level six flying soul tool!"

"A level six flying soul tool? Young sect leader, where did you get this thing? Xuanbing City doesn't sell these kinds of things!"

"No, that's not right. I've seen the speed of a level six flying soul tool before. A level six flying soul tool isn't this fast! This should be a level seven flying soul tool!"

"Level seven?!"

"Holy crap! Young Sect Master, where did you get this?!"

Exclamations of surprise echoed around Ling Xiao.

Although the Xuanbing Sect is located near the far north and is relatively desolate, with the development of soul tools in recent years and the popularization of knowledge by the Mingle Chamber of Commerce, they still have a general concept of advanced soul tools.

Level 7 flying soul tools, let alone flying swords, are extremely rare here!

Ling Xiao clearly enjoyed the surprised looks from everyone, but he seemed to have said before that he would return the ice sword to his brother-in-law after he returned to the sect.
Wait, something's not right. How could I subconsciously mistake this man for my brother-in-law?!
