Douluo Continent: On Becoming a God Through Science

Chapter 62 White Swan, Level 64 Soul Emperor, here! (Fifth update complete!)

While the group of kids were gossiping about You Chen and wondering if their brother, who was so keen on cultivation, had gone back to his training, You Chen was actually secretly switching to his main account, controlling his aura, and stealthily following Tang Hao and the Soul Emperor.

It seems that because he had practiced the Breath Concealment Technique, You Chen's sensitivity to qi was much higher than before. In addition, he paid special attention to Tang Hao, and that's how he confirmed Tang San's existence by observing the trace of qi that Tang Hao leaked when Tang San fell to the ground.

Of course, on the surface, he was only tracking the Spirit Emperor of the Spirit Hall and would not show that he had discovered Tang Hao.

Then... a reasonable drama naturally unfolds.

Tang Hao, despite his calculated intentions, never believed that a Title Douluo like himself had failed to deceive a Soul King, and was instead discovered by the latter. This wasn't a matter of intelligence; it was simply a common flaw among those in positions of power…

The Soul Emperor, carrying Hu Liena, walked out of Notting City, but stopped abruptly in an open plain. He turned around and said in a deep voice, "You've followed me for so long, is there something important you need?"

"Heh, that lawless little fox actually dared to lay a hand on my disciple without any respect, and you turn around and ask me what I have to do with it?"

You Chen, who had deliberately released a hint of his aura during the tracking, made no attempt to conceal himself. He stared at the white-haired Soul Emperor before him, who appeared to be on the verge of old age, and sneered, "To brazenly attack the disciples of meritorious individuals, our Pope of the Spirit Hall is truly becoming more and more unscrupulous, isn't he?"

The white-haired old Soul Emperor's face darkened, and he replied, "Hu Liena is merely a child's mischievousness. Lord You Chen can simply discipline her. There's no need to place such a heavy burden on His Holiness the Pope!"

Clearly, after You Chen appeared so quickly, the old Soul Emperor guessed that You Chen had secretly harmed his disciple, and this secret was triggered by Hu Liena's mental attack and then came to haunt him.

You Chen clearly wanted to solidify this line of thinking.

He continued with a sneer: "A lesson? That was just the backlash from her failed attempt to harm my disciple! The real lesson, I'm only now delivering it to your doorstep!"

The old man sighed and said helplessly, "Lord You Chen, is this truly the case? I respect your contributions to the Spirit Hall and the Soul Master world, but..."

Seeing that You Chen remained unmoved, the old man finally hardened his expression: "If you refuse a polite toast, then you'll have to suffer the consequences! I am Bai Hu, my martial spirit is Hong Hu, a level 64 agility-attack type battle spirit emperor!"

The significance of stating one's name, martial spirit, element, and level in this world is self-evident.

However, even though the grudges have been laid bare, why is he still so meticulously revealing his information...?

This really made You Chen laugh.

However, You Chen was willing to abide by these rules: "You Chen, Martial Soul Stardust Young Dragon, Level 54 Agility-Attack Type Battle Soul King!"

There's no other reason than that his information on the surface is no longer a secret. On the contrary, he may not know the information about the enemies he encounters. Therefore, in this unspoken rule of the Soul Master society, he is purely a beneficiary.

Swish—.

At the same time, both sides completed the spirit possession.

The swan, whose ambitions are beyond the comprehension of sparrows and swallows.

Some say that the swan is actually a white phoenix, but the swan's martial spirit is clearly not such a lofty and majestic existence.

It is simply a more powerful white crane, or rather, a more powerful wild goose or swan.

Perhaps it is essentially just a mutated wild goose or swan martial spirit, but when Bai Hu awakened in his youth, he placed lofty aspirations on himself and his martial spirit, which is why he was given such a name.

Yellow, purple, purple, and black—this isn't even the optimal soul ring configuration. Judging from Bai Hu's age, it's no surprise that this guy didn't benefit from the whale glue's ability to strengthen his foundation.

With a flap of its wings, You Chen unleashed a speed that would make even an agility-based Soul Emperor take notice.

After Bai Hu possessed a martial soul, he also had a pair of white wings, but the power of those wings was far inferior to You Chen's dragon wings.

You Chen aimed at Hu Liena, who was being protected in Bai Hu's arms, and activated his first and second soul rings at the same time. His dragon wings transformed into blades and slashed down fiercely!

"Don't you have any dignity as a Soul King?!"

Bai Hu cursed angrily, blocking You Chen's attack. At the same time, his fourth spirit ring lit up, and countless feathers fluttered down, weaving a cocoon to protect Hu Liena inside.

With his agility-based martial soul capable of flight, coupled with a certain level of protective ability, this is why Bibi Dong assigned Bai Hu as her bodyguard.

Whether it's protecting Hu Liena in special circumstances or escaping with her, Bai Hu can do it as long as he's not facing Soul Saints with abilities that counter her.

When You Chen saw the feather cocoon, he raised an eyebrow slightly, not surprised at all. He was even too lazy to answer Bai Hu's question.

Maintaining its first and second soul skills, its wings, like a pair of unparalleled blades, launched a frenzied attack on the white swan.

Bai Hu's third spirit ring lit up, increasing his strength and speed to a certain extent. He used both wings and hands to continuously deflect force and retreat.

However, blood was seeping slightly from the wings.

At first glance, it seems that You Chen easily suppressed the Soul Emperor who was one level higher than him.

However, in order to conceal the fact that his martial soul had evolved for as long as possible, You Chen only used about 60-70% of his strength at this time.

It is roughly equivalent to the quality of a high-level martial soul king with a soul ring configuration in the old era, before the effects of whale glue were discovered.

But he still managed to suppress the white swan.

It wasn't just because You Chen struck first, taking advantage of Bai Hu's vulnerability in protecting his target to inflict effective damage, but also because, disregarding "numerical values," he was stronger than Bai Hu!

You Chen has always considered himself a "researcher" and has never regarded himself as a "warrior"!

In fact, his combat experience is indeed far less than that of other Soul Masters of the same level.

But... that doesn't mean he's weak! It doesn't mean he's incapable of fighting!

Needless to say, the battle against Jiang Liu and Tang San was an overwhelming one.

Even when facing an opponent with stronger theoretical strength, You Chen would never be timid or afraid.

He believed that even when facing an opponent with superior strength, he could still seize the opponent's gaps and weaknesses, control the flow of the battle, perfectly manage all his abilities, and use them at the most necessary moment to amplify his advantages, gradually erode the opponent's advantages, and ultimately achieve victory against the odds!

He does indeed possess such abilities.

If You Chen is a strong fighter, then Bai Hu is undoubtedly a weakling!

At an age when one's vital energy and blood decline significantly, even if one is unwilling to accept one's fate, one can only choose to accept it and drift along with the tide.

But after Bibi Dong extended an olive branch and offered a sliver of hope, he, like a dog smelling meat, unhesitatingly crawled to the ground, hoping his master would give him a bone to defy fate and change his destiny.

Although he possessed the martial spirit of a swan, he lacked the lofty ambition to reach the clouds.

They lack ambition and fighting spirit, as well as the integrity and self-respect to refuse to conform to worldly ways.

This is how most people in this world look, but it is by no means how strong people look.

puff.

"You... how can a Soul King be so strong!?"

Another clash of soul skills, and the two were separated...

However, the higher-ranking white swan coughed up blood, looking at You Chen with an expression of incomprehension and shock, and uttered a sound of astonishment.
