Douluo Sharingan, I really didn't coerce Xiao Wu!

Chapter 62 So this is your true strength

Chen Xuan's eyelids twitched violently, utterly speechless. Recruiting people to increase combat power and charging 300 gold soul coins per person, did they really think everyone else was a fool?

He resolutely refused. Yes, he was indeed somewhat wealthy at the moment, but he wasn't a complete fool.

"Don't rush to refuse, brother. How about this, I'll lower it to 250 gold soul coins per person, okay?" said the bespectacled youth, Gu Jinchao.

Chen Xuan ignored her, quickly finished his dinner, and then pulled Yiyi upstairs.

"Hey bro, two hundred gold soul coins per person at most, no less," the bespectacled youth shouted from behind.

Chen Xuan didn't even turn his head before leading Yiyi into the hotel room.

Watching the two disappear from sight, the bespectacled young man, Gu Jinchao, felt only regret. He secretly wondered, "Was the real price too high?"

Zhu Zhuqing slept in a room by herself, while Chen Xuan naturally shared a room with his sister in the next room.

As night deepened and the moonlight shone like water, the night passed without incident, and the next day soon arrived.

Chen Xuan woke up immediately and woke Chen Yiyi in bed; it was time to leave.

In the early morning, as the sun rises and everything comes back to life, the air is exceptionally fresh.

After a quick breakfast, the three left the hotel and headed towards the Starry Sky Forest.

Once outside the town, it's still five or six kilometers to the Soul Beast Forest.

"Hey, bro." On the way, just as they entered the wilderness, a voice called out to Chen Xuan.

Behind them, a large group of about fifteen or sixteen people came towards them, fully equipped and ready to go.

The remainder was Gu Jinchao, the bespectacled young man from last night.

"Brother, there are three of us. Do you want to join us? We'll give you a discount. How about 150 gold soul coins per person?" He was still unwilling to give up.

"You're a Soul Master, and you're so short of money?" Chen Xuan was speechless; the other person seemed to be obsessed with money.

Seeing the group of fifteen or sixteen people, looking menacing, Zhu Zhuqing tightened her grip on Yiyi's hand, her eyes filled with wariness.

The bespectacled young man sighed and said, "Brother, you don't know how important money is until you're in charge. Although money isn't everything, life is a mess without it."

"By the way, you're that Soul Emperor? You don't look like one." Last night, the other party mentioned that the team was led by a Soul Emperor, but Chen Xuan felt that this young man with the potential to be a shrewd businessman didn't seem like a Soul Master at all.

The bespectacled youth, Gu Jinchao, did not hide anything, stating that he was still some distance from becoming a Soul Emperor, and had only cultivated to the level 53 Soul King realm.

He holds a prominent position in this field and is quite well-known. He knows many employment teams and has a rich network of connections.

He was indeed the team leader and knew many Soul Masters. The one at the Soul Emperor level was a friend he had met a few months ago, and they were currently in an employer-employee relationship, with him paying the other party 10,000 gold soul coins every month.

Chen Xuan frowned slightly. His eyes were sharp and he observed carefully. When the young man talked about the Soul Emperor, a trace of fear appeared in his eyes, which Chen Xuan caught.

There's something strange about this; it doesn't seem as simple as it appears on the surface.

"Brother, what's your decision? Want to join my team? The Star Dou Great Forest is fraught with danger. Look at you with those two beautiful girlfriends; it wouldn't be good if they got hurt," said Gu Jinchao, the bespectacled youth, still unwilling to give up, and continued to press for an answer.

With a friendly smile, he looked at the two women behind Chen Xuan, intending to make his move on them.

The next moment, the bespectacled youth froze, his eyes glazed over, and the words he was about to say were abruptly cut off.

His gaze lingered on Zhu Zhuqing, filled with shock and disbelief, as if he had witnessed something incredible.

The bespectacled young man quickly realized something was wrong, averted his gaze, and returned to normal.

"Brothers, since you don't want to join, then let's part ways here." He didn't press the matter further, and called the group to leave, heading towards the Star Dou Great Forest.

The crowd passed by the three people, but then one person cast a malicious glance at them.

He was a bald, burly man, very strong and imposing, with a pair of fiery eyes that were fixed on Zhu Zhuqing, roaming over her body, naked and without any disguise.

The group of fifteen people marched forward in a grand procession, entering a distant mountain.

Chen Xuan didn't follow, but changed direction, leading Zhu Zhuqing around several mountains ahead.

The distance during that period undoubtedly increased by several kilometers.

He always felt something was wrong; he thought that following that group of people might lead to something bad happening.

"Do you know that person?" Chen Xuan asked after they had circled around another mountain.

He was referring to the young man with glasses, whose expression seemed off; he appeared to know Zhu Zhuqing.

"I don't know him."

Zhu Zhuqing shook her head. She also found it strange. She didn't recognize the young man with glasses, but he seemed to know her identity, which was very odd.

"He said he came from the Star Luo Empire and used to be a teacher. Is it possible that he taught you or met you?" Chen Xuan recounted what happened last night.

Zhu Zhuqing shook her head again; she truly did not recognize this person's face in her memory.

"Alright."

Chen Xuan stopped and, ignoring Chen Yiyi's resistance, simply carried her on his back.

The sun had already risen high in the sky, reaching halfway up; it was already morning.

"We need to hurry and finish before sunset." Chen Xuan took out two kunai, each with a spell inscribed on it.

He had a bad feeling and didn't want to stay in the Star Dou Great Forest for too long.

Zhu Zhuqing was taken aback and didn't quite understand, thinking that Chen Xuan meant to travel as quickly as possible.

Although the time can be shortened, this will also increase the consumption of soul power. The Star Dou Great Forest is full of dangers and may be attacked at any time. It is very dangerous if you do not have enough soul power.

"Grab me."

Chen Xuan didn't explain much. With a wave of his hand, the silver kunai flew out, streaking across the sky and shooting into the distance.

Zhu Zhuqing has a cold and aloof demeanor, and is a goddess who rarely interacts with men. When Chen Xuan called out to her, she did not take any further action because she believed that men and women should not be too close.

Sensing that the kunai was about to hit the ground, Chen Xuan decisively reached out and grabbed Zhu Zhuqing, who was still hesitating.

With a whoosh, a flash of golden light appeared, and the three disappeared from their original spot, reappearing more than two hundred meters away.

This speed is like shrinking the distance to an inch; such a long distance was covered in less than two seconds.

The three were in mid-air. Chen Xuan moved swiftly and shot another kunai into the distance.

And so, golden light would occasionally shimmer in this area.

Chen Xuan led the two, constantly using the Flying Thunder God Technique to travel in the most convenient way. In the blink of an eye, they had covered five or six kilometers and were about to arrive at the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Wow, brother, you're amazing!" Feeling the wind whistling past her ears, Chen Yiyi's hair flew wildly, but she didn't care at all. Her little face was full of excitement.

This supersonic experience, like walking 100 meters in one step, is so thrilling!

Zhu Zhuqing's face was cold, her beautiful eyes like shimmering autumn water. Looking at Chen Xuan's face so close to hers, she was no longer calm.

At this moment, she felt a complex mix of emotions that were hard to describe, as if she had just seen through a long fog, revealing a sense of bewilderment and helplessness.

"So, this is your true strength?"
