Douluo: The Peerless Tang Sect - The Ordinary Life of a Supporting Character

Chapter 263 God Douluo

The front hall of the Duke's mansion was still brightly lit. Ye Xiaosheng had not yet removed the device that aided in the creation of soul tools. He stretched and yawned, and just then he saw Wang Nan walk in.

"Why aren't you resting so late?"

"As you know, my rest time is never very punctual," Ye Xiaosheng stood up. "And once I start making soul tools, it's normal for me to go for days and nights without rest."

"What's wrong? Are we short of materials again?"

"This time it's not about the materials." Ye Xiaosheng's expression turned serious. "Similar soul tools to those in Gengxin City have appeared in other cities."

"Which one is it this time?"

"It's not just one type. Last time, the soul-guided vehicles could only operate in cities due to road conditions, so there were relatively few imitations. However, a large number of other gadgets suddenly appeared."

Wang Nan raised an eyebrow and sat down in a chair nearby. "How's the quality of those things?"

"The quality is acceptable." Ye Xiaosheng said, leaning closer. "You're not going to be reckless like you were before, are you?"

"You know me best." Wang Nan nodded. "Anyway, once we're outside of Liujin Province, our influence will be much smaller. Let them do it. As long as the quality is up to standard, it will ultimately make things more convenient for ordinary people."

"As expected of you." Ye Xiaosheng gave Wang Nan a thumbs up. "By the way, the new type of sound transmission soul tool you asked me to research has been completed. As long as the relay device is launched into the sky like a high-altitude detection soul tool, it will be enough to cover the entire Gengxin City."

"However, the charging of the relay device still needs to be considered, and its range is limited, currently it can only be used in Gengxin City."

"That's enough." Wang Nan nodded gently. "Take it slow. Researching soul tools can't be accomplished overnight. Progress will come with gradual iteration."

"Although you don't make many soul tools, you seem to know a lot about these things. I don't know how your brain works; these ideas just pop into your head. I'm glad I came here with you."

"These are all I have," Wang Nan sighed. "Unfortunately, these things can't help you break through to the Soul Master level."

"I'm not like you guys." Ye Xiaosheng glanced at Wang Nan and said seriously, "Although we both graduated from Shrek Academy, I know that with my own talent, I'm still quite a distance from a true genius like Yuhao."

"Level eight Soul Master is almost my limit. I'm already very satisfied to be able to research and create various Soul Tools here. Most of the Soul Tools used by ordinary people outside were designed and made by me. This kind of treatment is something any Soul Master would dream of."

As Ye Xiaosheng was speaking, his expression suddenly changed, and he looked up to see Ma Xiaotao walking in.

"Alright, you must have come back with important business, so I'll go back and rest now. I won't disturb your good time."

"go!"

Ma Xiaotao simply covered her mouth and chuckled softly, watching Ye Xiaosheng leave.

"Everyone knows that the soul tools made by Ye Xiaosheng come from the Duke of Qitian's mansion. If they still dare to counterfeit them, there must be someone else behind them."

"Did you hear what was just said?" Wang Nan also watched Ye Xiaosheng's figure disappear out of the front hall.

"Yes, and you don't seem to be hiding anything from people."

"Those nobles in the Star Luo Empire, unable to win me over, resort to these petty tricks. I'm not promoting soul tools to earn a lot of gold soul coins, so let them be. I'm too lazy to bother with them."

"Forget about that, what brings Yuhao here?" Wang Nan looked up at Ma Xiaotao.

"You've already noticed?" Ma Xiaotao sat down closer to Wang Nan.

"Yes, I noticed it as soon as I came in."

"Yuhao arrived at noon today; the news from the Star Luo Empire came a little later."

As Ma Xiaotao spoke, she handed over an envelope bearing the seal of the Star Luo Empire's royal family, which appeared to have never been opened.

"Yuhao said that the Star Luo Empire wants you to rescue a level nine Soul Master. Originally, they were interested in Yuhao's ability to conceal and change his aura, but later they felt that Yuhao's strength was a little weak, so they thought you would accompany him."

As Wang Nan listened, he quickly scanned the contents of the letter, pausing briefly on the title "Investiture of the Gods".

If Wang Nan wasn't mistaken, the one who created the level-nine soul tool, the Conferred God Platform, sealed Xue Di while she was in human form, and then handed over the Conferred God Platform and Xue Di to the Star Luo Empire was the soul master.

Originally, this Soul Master would have been discovered by the Sun Moon Empire when the Star Luo Empire auctioned off the embryos, but now things seem to have changed.

Following the continental war, the three great empires had begun to fully embrace soul tools, but they started too late. None of the three empires yet had their own level nine soul masters, so the Star Luo Empire urgently needed this God-Sealing Douluo. Moreover, the God-Sealing Douluo had relayed a lot of information during the continental war and could be considered a meritorious contributor, so naturally they couldn't abandon him.

I only heard that the God Douluo disappeared when the war on the continent was about to end, so why is it that he only needs to be rescued now?

Wang Nan quickly finished reading the contents of the letter. According to the letter, the defeat in the continental war had also caused turmoil within the royal family of the Sun Moon Empire. This God-Sealing Douluo was a subordinate of one of the pro-peace princes.

That's why he kept sending messages to the Star Luo Empire back then. Now Xu Tianran has quelled the internal strife within the royal family, and the God-Sealing Douluo has fallen into their hands; he should now be in the territory of the Holy Spirit Cult.

"Dongyang City." Wang Nan put away the letter and read out a name.

"Is this where you and Yuhao are going this time?"

"Hmm." Wang Nan nodded. This place wasn't unfamiliar to him; there were indeed quite a few evil spirit masters inside, and according to what Nangong Wan had said, there were probably other secrets of the Holy Spirit Cult in Dongyang City.

"Would you like me to come with you?"

"No need." Wang Nan put away the letter and stood up. "Even if there is any danger, the Sun Moon Empire alone cannot keep me here. You can stay here and take care of the house."

Ma Xiaotao blushed upon hearing this, but still nodded, "Okay."

"Let's go, get a good rest tonight, and we'll set off first thing tomorrow morning."

A night of tenderness was left unspoken.

The next morning, Huo Yuhao woke up from his meditation and looked at the rising sun in the east, a purple glint flashing in his eyes.

A moment later, he got up and went to the front hall, where Wang Nan was already waiting.

"Brother Wang!" Huo Yuhao exclaimed in surprise.

"Yuhao".

Huo Yuhao saw a smile on Wang Nan's face, no different from when he was a child.
