Douluo Continent: Martial Soul - Dragon Pattern Staff, Inherited from the Azure Dragon of the East

Chapter 195 Fishing

Soto City, a prosperous modern metropolis with towering skyscrapers and shimmering neon lights, is a miracle where an alien world and modern civilization intertwine.

At the heart of the city stand towering skyscrapers, their glass curtain walls gleaming in the sunlight, reflecting the city's prosperity and vitality.

Each building has a unique design; some have tops that resemble sharp swords pointing to the sky, while others look like giant flowers blooming amidst reinforced concrete.

A three-dimensional transportation network weaves between the high-rise buildings, with maglev trains gliding silently on their tracks in the air, making almost no sound.

On the ground, autonomous vehicles are operating in an orderly manner, and intelligent traffic lights adjust in real time according to traffic flow to ensure smooth traffic.

On the sidewalk, pedestrians either hurry to their next destination or leisurely enjoy the slow pace of city life.

On the edge of Soto, green parks are like jewels embedded in the concrete jungle, and the fresh air and birdsong add a touch of tranquility and vitality to the city.

Inside the park, children play on the lawn, couples stroll along the lake, and the elderly play chess under the shade of trees, creating a harmonious picture of life.

Soto becomes even more enchanting as night falls.

The lights on the high-rise buildings lit up like stars dotting the ground, while the sphere of light in the city center emitted a soft glow, illuminating the entire city.

As light and shadow intertwine, Soto City reveals a mystery and romance unlike anything seen during the day.

However, behind this glamorous city, there are also some forgotten corners.

In the old residential area, the walls are mottled and the lights are dim, and the residents live a life completely different from that in the bustling city center.

Even here, traces of Soto’s development can be seen: renovations of old building facades are underway, and small shops on the old streets are gradually coming back to life.

This is the modern metropolis that was rebuilt with the strong support and substantial financial assistance of the Li family.

Now, all the high-ranking officials in this city are controlled by the Li family; they are all peripheral members of the Li family.

The Li family secretly instructed these high-ranking officials to use various means to construct buildings with funds provided by the Li family.

In every location, the Li family owns the first and largest share.

This place is the Li family's vast business empire, and the Li family is the emperor here.

Even if the Great Emperor Xueye came, he would only be a figurehead.

I only call you "Your Majesty" out of respect for you; otherwise, you're just a dead old man about to be buried.

At the same time, above Soto City, the two stood on their flying swords, looking down at the towering buildings below, and were amazed by the sight.

"Is this still the Soto City I know? It's only been a short time since I last came, and it's changed so much?"

"Moreover, it seems that some powerful force is deliberately suppressing information about this place, preventing even those of us in Tiandou City from receiving the most accurate information immediately."

Ning Fengzhi said with a solemn expression.

"Soto City, what are you trying to do? We haven't received any news about Emperor Xueye providing substantial financial support to Soto City."

"Who is this mastermind behind it all? Could it be related to Shrek Academy?"

Chen Xin shook his head.

"Let's not rush to Shrek Academy yet. Let's walk around here and find out what's going on first."

Ning Fengzhi said.

"That's exactly what I was thinking." Since he had already arrived in Soto City, he didn't mind spending a little more time. Chen Xin controlled the falling of the flying sword.

Even with Ning Fengzhi's full support and Chen Xin's full-fledged sword flight, it still took three whole days to arrive here.

Deep within the Hall of Worship in Wuhun City, inside the Temple of Angels.

"Sixth and Seventh Brothers have been gone for so long, why haven't we received even a single piece of news?"

"It won't take too long to get to Tiandou City from here."

The Grand Priest, Sendo Ryu, stood beneath the angel statue, hands clasped behind his back, frowning and muttering to himself in deep confusion.

"Could something have happened? Should I send someone to check it out?" Golden Crocodile Douluo walked over and asked. He also found it strange.

"Wait a minute. Perhaps they haven't found a good opportunity to strike. After all, that place is Heaven Dou City, right under Xue Ye's feet. Although our Spirit Hall is not afraid of them, the current situation is rather special. If we reveal our secrets at any step, it could arouse Xue Ye's suspicion. So I think they have slowed down to make their actions more cautious."

Qian Daoliu raised his hand to stop him.

"If we rashly send people over, it might disrupt the plan. If something really happens, Xiaoxue will definitely send a message back. Even if there is someone that Lao Qi and Lao Liu can't defeat together, they will definitely be able to escape and send a message back. The fact that there is no message now means that nothing has happened."

As he spoke, he turned to face the angel statue, clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, and began to perform the ritual.

The seven great deities are able to connect with each other through the power of angels.

As long as this connection remains open, it proves that the seven great worshippers are safe and sound.

Soon, he sensed the two strands of angelic power belonging to Thousand-Pound Douluo and Demon-Slaying Douluo.

Seeing this, I immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Pope's Palace.

Bibi Dong, holding the papal jeweled scepter, sat lazily on the papal throne, her legs crossed.

But she was very puzzled as to why there was still no news from Qian Daoliu's side.

Are we not going to take action?

too weird.

She was very wary of the Hall of Offerings and had not placed any spies there, so she did not know what the situation was like there.

The platinum bishop Salas, dressed in a platinum robe, walked in.

"Greetings, His Holiness the Pope!"

He respectfully bowed to the Empress above him.

"What is it?" Bibi Dong asked calmly.

"Our sent-out 'Nose' encountered a 100,000-year-old soul beast we'd never seen before in the Star Dou Great Forest!"

"I believe this is a very important matter, so I came here specifically to inform Your Majesty!"

Platinum Bishop Salas began to speak.

"A 100,000-year-old soul beast?!" Bibi Dong's pupils shrank, and a look of surprise appeared on her face. She immediately stood up.

"Let's go, let's go take a look." Bibi Dong was a little impatient.

For him, a 100,000-year-old soul beast was an immense treasure, something he desperately wanted.

Although her first spirit rings are already full, her second spirit rings are far from being full!

She longs to possess more 100,000-year soul rings.

That way you'll become stronger!

There's no need to be afraid of that guy, Qian Daoliu!

If you can choose a better 100,000-year spirit ring, then you don't need to choose a 10,000-year spirit ring.

These days she has been secretly searching for a 100,000-year-old soul beast.

As for the Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape in the Star Dou Great Forest, they are also her future targets.

However, these two big guys are brothers and have been together for years, so they are not easy to deal with.

So it hasn't been touched.

She had been waiting for her opportunity.

I just hope it can be completed quickly.

Soon, the Platinum Bishop Salas had the Soul Master lead the way.
