Douluo: The Peerless King of Beast Tamers

Chapter 314 Xu Tianran, Orange
After finalizing the deal with Tongjing Hongchen, Zhou Sichen's life returned to normal.

Zhou Sichen usually studies soul tools normally, and occasionally meets with Long Xiaoyao. This Uncle Long is really quite free. He comes to chat with Zhou Sichen whenever he has nothing to do, and even guides Zhou Sichen in his cultivation.

Fortunately, Zhou Sichen's control over the Nangong Bowl was kept very secret, and no one else knew about it. Otherwise, Zhou Sichen would have been afraid that Long Xiaoyao would have found out.

Although Long Xiaoyao was incredibly powerful, he was not capable of foresight.

So as long as Zhou Sichen doesn't let anything slip and Nangong Wan doesn't make any mistakes, then Long Xiaoyao won't be able to find out about this.

When Zhang Lexuan relayed the information from the Holy Spirit Cult's higher-ups back to Shrek Academy, a huge uproar ensued within the academy.

Even the usually calm and experienced Moon remained silent after hearing the news.

These two old friends disappeared a century ago, and now they are actually aiding and abetting evil in the Holy Spirit Cult.

Especially those who knew about the story of Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui, such as Xuanzi, Elder Lin, and Elder Song, were all filled with indignation.

Xuanzi almost couldn't resist taking his men to the Sun Moon Empire to find Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui and get some answers from them.

Unfortunately, the Sun Moon Empire is so vast that without a specific target, finding a few people is no easy task.
Moreover, judging from the information available, the Holy Spirit Cult currently boasts over twenty Title Douluo. If a real battle were to break out, the Sea God Pavilion might not be a match for them.

Although the older generation knows that Elder Mu had a friendship with Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui, they are now evil soul masters. Can their past friendship still count?
No one dares to gamble with the evil of the evil spirit master.

So in the end, Elder Mu could only sigh and say, "Don't be impatient. Now that Si Chen has found out this information, we can prepare in advance and send the message to the Body Sect so that Poison Undying can also take precautions in advance."

Yan Shaozhe replied, "But teacher, if we just let it go like this, won't the power of the evil soul masters grow stronger day by day?"

Mu En glanced at Yan Shaozhe: "This matter can no longer be rushed. Now that evil soul masters have become a force to be reckoned with, we must resolve it once and for all."

"Now that the unification of Douluo Continent is imminent, we must help Si Chen manage the rear. Once the Douluo Continent is unified, we can gather all our forces and launch a decisive attack on the Sun Moon Empire, thus achieving a permanent solution."

Xuanzi calmed down at this moment. As a Super Douluo with a cultivation level of 98, he was well aware of the difference between level 98 and level 99.

They dare not gamble on the humanity of Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui, so they absolutely cannot act rashly.

If these two level 99 peerless Douluo were to go berserk, not just anyone could stop them.

After all, Elder Mu's physical condition is limited, and his combat power will inevitably be greatly reduced after leaving the Sea God Pavilion. He will definitely not be a match for Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui among those of the same level.

Therefore, Mu's role is to defend the home base, to be a last resort, rather than a weapon for attack.

Xuanzi suggested, "Shaozhe, let Elder Mu arrange this matter. Since Elder Mu has a past with Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui, why don't we let Elder Mu contact them first and see what the outcome is?"

Mu En nodded: "Xuanzi, you have indeed grown today."

Xuanzi chuckled. It wasn't that he had grown up; it was because he had a clear understanding of the terrifying strength of a level 99 Peerless Douluo.

If Xuanzi were at level 99 now, do you think he would just sit and wait to die?

They probably rushed to the Sun Moon Empire to find Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui long ago.

Unfortunately, Zhou Sichen didn't see this scene.

Otherwise, it would be interesting to tell Yan Shaozhe that he is actually Ye Xishui's grandson.

However, although Yan Shaozhe was a bit petty, he still had no sympathy for evil spirit masters.

At least in this respect, their character is highly reliable.

Although Mu En and the others knew the current strength of the Holy Spirit Cult, Mu En was not in a hurry to find Long Xiaoyao.

Because of Zhou Sichen, he now has no choice but to pretend that he doesn't know that Long Xiaoyao is in Mingdu.

Otherwise, he would have gone months ago, and wouldn't have had to wait until now.

He had indeed loved Ye Xishui, but after that incident a hundred years ago, his feelings gradually subsided.

In his heart now, Ye Xishui is at most a close friend of many years; the once passionate love has now been reduced to friendship.

So even knowing that Ye Xishui was now in the Sun Moon Empire, Mu En was no longer in such a hurry to find her.

Now that Zhou Sichen's plan is even more important, he naturally wants to stay at Shrek Academy to help Zhou Sichen integrate the forces of the three kingdoms of Douluo Continent.

……

In the period that followed, Zhou Sichen would capture a few evil soul masters from Nangong Wan every now and then and hand them over to Jing Hongchen in exchange for rare metals and other resources.

In addition, because of the conditions agreed to by Jing Hongchen, Zhou Sichen now has one day a week to learn about soul tools from Jing Hongchen.

During this period, Zhou Sichen recorded as many soul tools as possible that he had seen in Mingde Hall and Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and sent them back to Shrek Academy.

He also meticulously studied the "Heart of the Toad," even if he couldn't replicate it, he could still imitate it.

Once you've mastered the core principles of these level-nine soul tools, it will be much easier to create other level-nine soul tools by imitation.

And because they spent one day a week studying with Jing Hongchen, Zhou Sichen and Jing Hongchen gradually developed a lot of common topics.

Through further understanding, the old man and the young man developed new perspectives on each other.

In Zhou Sichen's eyes, although Jing Hongchen was a bit old-fashioned, he was wholeheartedly devoted to the empire and soul tools.

He wasn't really loyal to the royal family; he was just serving them.

After all, he was a citizen of the Sun Moon Empire, and the Mingde Hall's research funding was provided by the royal family, so he had no choice but to serve the royal family.

In Jing Hongchen's eyes, Zhou Sichen was also an extremely outstanding junior, far surpassing his grandson Xiao Hongchen in every aspect.

Unfortunately, Zhou Sichen is from Douluo Continent and comes from Shrek Academy. He is the successor of the Sea God Pavilion Master of Shrek Academy, so it is impossible to win him over.

Otherwise, Jing Hongchen would have spared no effort to recruit Zhou Sichen into Mingde Hall for training.

There would be no problem marrying my granddaughter to him.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Their different social statuses created a natural chasm that couldn't be bridged with just a few words.

As the two gradually became more familiar with each other, they would occasionally test each other, deliberately asking questions to win each other over.

Although they both understood that the other admired and tried to win them over, neither of them could take the relationship any further.

Because both of them were thinking of winning each other over, rather than siding with one another.

Jing Hongchen's status as the head of Mingde Hall is no different from that of the Sea God Pavilion Master of Shrek Academy. Winning over Jing Hongchen is just like the Sun Moon Empire winning over Mu En.

This is something that only exists in our imagination; it is impossible to achieve in reality.

Zhou Sichen could foresee that even if Douluo Continent conquered the Sun Moon Empire in the future, Jing Hongchen would most likely lead Mingde Hall in a desperate battle.

His personality is inherently arrogant, and he will not tolerate surrendering.

After all, the Sun Moon Empire was the place that nurtured him, so how could he possibly abandon his homeland just to survive? But this was something Zhou Sichen had to do.

If we can persuade Jing Hongchen, the head of Mingde Hall, to surrender, it will be much easier to get the Sun Moon Empire to accept the change in the future.

However, it still seems to be quite difficult, and for Zhou Sichen, this matter remains a long and arduous task.

However, Zhou Sichen was not in a hurry. Anyway, there were still more than two years, and he would find an opportunity eventually.

Zhou Sichen had just finished a day of studying and was on her way to the cafeteria when she received a contact request from Nangong Wan via the [Soul Talisman Forbidden Spell].

After Zhou Sichen made the call, Nangong Wan hurriedly explained the situation.

It turned out that Shangguan Weier finally couldn't hold back and took action. She not only attacked several branches of the Xishui Alliance, but also killed a lot of evil soul masters.

Nangong Wan originally planned to lead his men to kill Shangguan Weier directly, but considering that he was still under Zhou Sichen's command, he wanted to ask Zhou Sichen's plans first.

Zhou Sichen had no thoughts on this, and simply replied calmly, "This is a matter between you and the Ordinary Alliance. You don't need to ask me what to do; ask the royal family behind you."

Nangong Wan immediately understood Zhou Sichen's meaning, and then went directly to ask Prince Xu Guozhong.

Zhou Sichen's goal was to make them fight like dogs, and as for which side ultimately benefited, it would be a good thing for Zhou Sichen.

In any case, it consumes the resources of the Sun Moon Empire. Moreover, the Ordinary Alliance is backed by noble families, and the Evening Water Alliance is backed by the royal family. With the two involved, there is less energy to integrate national strength.

Zhou Sichen would love for them to start fighting.

Upon learning of this, Xu Guozhong went directly to the palace to find Crown Prince Xu Tianran.

Although Xu Tianran was the crown prince, he was disabled. In front of Xu Guozhong, Xu Tianran sat in a wheelchair with his legs disappearing at the root and his trouser legs hanging down empty.

Although this Crown Prince was a cripple without legs, in Xu Guozhong's eyes, this nephew was a terrifying character.

It is intriguing that Xu Tianran could sit firmly on the throne despite his disability, and Xu Guozhong was even more aware of Xu Tianran's terrifying methods.

He could even cripple his own brothers, or even execute them by slow slicing. This Crown Prince's ruthlessness is absolutely unparalleled in the empire.

In front of Xu Tianran, Xu Guozhong never acted like an imperial uncle, but instead completely followed his orders.

However, it was precisely because of this that Xu Guozhong not only lived a very comfortable life, but also successfully broke through to the ninth ring with the help of Xu Tianran, becoming a ninth-level soul master.

This uncle and nephew pair can be described as truly ruthless figures of the empire, joining forces to do many chilling things.

After listening to Xu Guozhong's report, Xu Tianran's eyes dimmed and became somewhat gloomy.

After a moment, Xu Tianran said coldly, "Uncle, since Elder Nangong is in the right, let the Xishui Alliance take action. Since the Pingfan Alliance is so ungrateful, we can take this opportunity to eliminate them."

Xu Guozhong couldn't help but say, "But Your Highness, our people are currently preparing to take over the military, and we don't have any extra power for the Xishui Alliance. Relying on themselves, they may not be able to gain any advantage among the nobles."

It's not that evil spirit masters aren't strong enough, but rather that they can't act recklessly.

If Nangong Wan and his group go too far, they may incur a collective attack.

Xu Tianran smiled disdainfully: "The empire belongs to the Xu family. Those parasites are now full of food and should spit some out. Otherwise, when I have the time, I will be the first to deal with them."

Xu Guozhong was alarmed upon hearing this. If Xu Tianran hadn't not yet fully controlled the military forces, he probably would have already taken action against the underground forces in Mingdu.

As the crown prince of the empire, he saw the underworld as nothing more than naked parasites, slowly eroding the foundation of the Ming capital.

Xu Guozhong nodded: "I understand. I'll go tell Elder Nangong now and tell them not to hold back and to teach the Ordinary Alliance a good lesson."

Xu Tianran nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, Imperial Uncle."

Xu Guozhong bowed before leaving, and Xu Tianran waved gently after Xu Guozhong left.

The next moment, an elderly man with a somewhat hunched back appeared beside Xu Tianran like a ghost.

The old man was dressed in the most ordinary servant's clothes in the palace, but no one dared to underestimate his subtle yet imposing aura.

Shadow Douluo Xue Chen, a powerful figure at the Title Douluo level, is now willing to serve Xu Tianran, a disabled man, which is enough to show Xu Tianran's methods.

Xu Tianran calmly said, "Elder Xue, since some people are being tactless, I would appreciate it if you could warn them for me."

"Understood." Xue Chen bowed, then vanished in a shadow.

Not long after Xue Chen left, a woman slowly walked up behind Xu Tianran.

The woman was very beautiful, and looked gentle and graceful. At seventeen or eighteen years old, she was in the prime of her youth.

A woman with a large, orange-red shawl came up behind Xu Tianran, gently pushed the wheelchair, and headed into the garden.

In the entire Sun Moon Empire, there is only one woman who can get so close to Xu Tianran.

The girl's name was Ju Zi, and she was one of the people Zhou Sichen wanted to win over.

After Orange's parents died in the war launched by the Star Luo Empire, she wandered alone and later met Xu Tianran by chance.

At that time, Xu Tianran was not yet disabled, so he took her in and trained her to study at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

As time went by, Ju Zi's current ideas did not disappoint Xu Tianran. Her growth rate was getting faster and faster through hard work, and she was about to become a level 5 Soul Master.

Over the years, due to their special relationship, Xu Tianran trusted her a lot, and Ju Zi was indeed very loyal to him.

When Xu Tianran was attacked, Ju Zi was stabbed twice in the back while protecting her, and almost died.

The attack left Xu Tianran disabled, which was a huge blow to him, but Ju Zi became his most trusted confidante from then on.

He trusted Orange almost unconditionally.

In addition, Xu Tianran's sexual function was also impaired due to that attack.

Therefore, in order to ensure his position as crown prince was secure, Xu Tianran had already begun to consider making Ju Zi empress.

However, because Zhou Sichen arrived early, he has not had any interaction with Ju Zi for several months.

Moreover, perhaps because of the constant friction between the Ordinary Alliance and the Evening Water Alliance over the past few months, Orange seems to be even more loyal to Xu Tianran than in the original story.

So far, Zhou Sichen has not found any good opportunities.

However, for Zhou Sichen, as long as he got Xuan Ziwen and Ji Juechen, that was enough; to be honest, the oranges weren't that important.

Although the other party does have some talent in military affairs, her own cultivation level is not high. If she really becomes a threat in the future, it will only be a matter of one strike.

Now that Ju Zi is just a Soul Master with less than five rings, he can't possibly have a bunch of level nine Soul Tools protecting him like Xu Tianran, right?
Xu Tianran closed his eyes to rest, gently inhaling the subtle fragrance emanating from Ju Zi's hair. After a long while, he finally asked, "Ju Zi, how are your studies going lately?"
