Douluo: Dominating Douluo begins with summoning Kong Deming

Chapter 17 Who doesn't have a Title Douluo by their side?
"Hey, interesting."

Xu Shao was slightly taken aback when he heard the refusal, but he grinned when he realized what was happening.

“There are very few people in the entire Heaven Dou City who would dare to refuse me like this.”

"Boy, do you know who I am?"

Who you are is none of my business.

Ye Ling shrugged indifferently.

In a world like Douluo Continent, where class distinctions are severely rigid, it's easy for these inexplicable nobles to emerge who, ironically, have an inflated sense of self-importance.

He had just killed one in the Star Dou Great Forest a while ago, and now, just a few days later, he had encountered another one.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Xu Shao clapped his hands with a gloomy expression.

"I was originally thinking of buying it, but now it looks like you'll have to beg me to give it to you."

As he spoke, he winked at the old man in black robes behind him.

Zhao Xu opened his mouth as if to say something, but when he met Xu Shao's gloomy gaze, he ultimately shut his mouth.

"Wait!"

Just as the old man in black robes was about to make a move, Ye Ling suddenly spoke up.

"What? You're willing to sell it to me?"

Xu Shao said leisurely with a smug look on his face.

This is, after all, the grand auction house of Tiandou City, even though he has powerful backers.

But it's best to avoid causing trouble here if possible.

"No."

Ye Ling shook his head and asked with a half-smile.

"If Ning Fengzhi or Yu Yuanzhen were here, would you dare to forcibly take their things?"

"Do you know Sect Master Ning of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and Sect Master Yu of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan?"

Xu Shao's expression changed drastically.

These two are the sect leaders of the three upper sects; he cannot afford to offend either of them.

"I don't know him, I'm just curious, so I wanted to ask."

Ye Ling shook his head and said frankly.

Hearing Ye Ling's denial, Xu Shao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"You dare to compare yourself to Sect Master Ning and Sect Master Yu?"

Xu Shao sneered.

"Just because you dared to address the two lords by their names, even if I beat you to death, you deserve it."

"Just because they are the sect leaders of the three upper sects, or because they or their sects possess the combat power of a Title Douluo?"

Ye Ling frowned and asked.

For some reason, Xu Shao felt a vague sense of unease.

How could an ordinary person know about the three upper sects?

How could you know that the three upper sects have titled Douluo?
However, as a top playboy in Tiandou City, he had never seen Ye Ling in Tiandou City.

So they just assumed Ye Ling was a Soul Master from a small place and a small force, and didn't take him too seriously.

“That’s right. If you were a Title Douluo, or if you had a Title Douluo serving under you, then naturally no one would dare to disrespect you.”

As Xu Shao spoke, his unease grew stronger.

He turned to look at the old man in black robes behind him and nodded slightly.

"That's it."

Ye Ling seemed unaware of the interaction between the two and suddenly realized.

"Douluo Continent is indeed a world where strength reigns supreme."

As soon as Ye Ling finished speaking, the old man in black robes flashed in front of him.

Seven spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and three black—rose beneath the black-robed elder's feet, proving his status as a seven-ring spirit saint.

No matter how much he tried to activate his soul power, his body could not move an inch.

"Uncle Wang, what are you doing? Why aren't you moving?"

Xu Shao frowned as he looked at the old man in black robes and asked, somewhat puzzled.

"It's not that he doesn't want to move, it's that he can't move."

Ye Ling moved with light steps, silver light flashing beneath his feet, and he bypassed the black-robed elder, appearing before Young Master Xu. "Is it possible that I'm someone you can't afford to offend?"

"Damn it, these two dare to cause trouble at the Grand Auction House! What are you all standing around for? Seize them!"

A fierce look flashed across Xu Shao's face as he roared at the security guards of the auction house who had just been alerted.

Most of the security personnel at the Great Soul Arena are five-ring Soul Masters, with a small number being six-ring Soul Masters.

They hesitated for a moment upon hearing this, but then they all rushed towards Ye Ling and Kong Deming.

With over a dozen people and nearly a hundred spirit rings, it was quite a sight to behold.

Kong Deming glanced around before taking his first step.

A yellow spirit ring rose from beneath his feet.

Two steps, three steps, four steps... until the ninth step.

Yellow, purple, black, until the last red soul ring.

The aura of a titled Douluo swept across the entire auction house almost instantly.

Everyone stared blankly at the red spirit ring.

"A...a...a Title Douluo?"

"A Title Douluo with a ninth spirit ring after 100,000 years?"

Xu Shao exclaimed in disbelief.

"This... is it Young Master Xu?"

Ye Ling looked at Xu Shao, who was now petrified, with a leisurely air, and gently patted his face twice.

"Is there anything else you'd like to say?"

Although a 100,000-year soul ring and a 100,000-year soul bone are divine objects that all soul masters dream of.

But in recent years, how many Soul Masters have been able to possess a 100,000-year Soul Ring?

All in all, there are only Bibi Dong, Tang Hao, and the second elder of the Spirit Hall, Golden Crocodile Douluo.

Among these, Tang Hao's 100,000-year spirit ring was sacrificed by his wife.

Of course, the three level 99 Limit Douluos were not included, because participating in the Divine Trial would increase the age of one's Martial Soul.

This proves that having a 100,000-year spirit ring and not having one are completely different levels of Title Douluo.

"May I ask which esteemed person graces my Heavenly Dou City Grand Auction House with their presence?"

"I have failed to greet you properly; I am truly sorry for not being there to welcome you sooner."

How many people can sense the aura of a powerful expert with a 100,000-year-old soul ring?

In just a short while, the open space, which was only used to test the auction items, was filled with many more people.

The first person to arrive was an elderly man with a full head of white hair, who appeared to be older than Kong Deming.

With eight spirit rings—two yellow, three purple, and three black—at his feet, this person was actually a Soul Douluo-level powerhouse.

However, when he saw the ninth red spirit ring at Kong Deming's feet, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"My name is Xu Yunchang, and I am in charge of the Tiandou City Grand Auction House. May I ask how Your Majesty should address me?"

Xu Yunchang bowed deeply to Kong Deming, his attitude very sincere.

Title: Silver Moon

Kong Deming said calmly.

"Has our auction house failed us in some way? Why is Silver Moon Douluo so angry?"

Xu Yunchang spoke with neither arrogance nor servility, and even took the initiative to take responsibility upon himself, demonstrating extremely high emotional intelligence.

No wonder he was able to make the auction house business so successful.

"Is this an auction house? I thought I'd stumbled into a bandit's den."

Kong Deming sneered twice, then pointed at Xu Shao.

"This person has stolen my auction items and even attempted to attack me. What should you do?"

Xu Yunchang looked at his good-for-nothing nephew and felt utterly overwhelmed.

This guy, relying on his aunt being the Empress of the current Emperor Tiandou, was used to being arrogant, but now he's unexpectedly met his match.

It was because his aunt and parents died too early, and he was spoiled too much, that he became such a spoiled brat!
Offending a Title Douluo, and a Title Douluo with a 100,000-year-old ninth spirit ring at that!

The Xu family has truly been struck by misfortune.

"You beast! How dare you be so disrespectful to His Majesty!"
