Douluo Continent: Reborn as Qin Ming, starting by joining the Spirit Hall

Chapter 226 A Performance for the Blind

After seeing the Sea Maiden Douluo admit defeat, Qin Ming cupped his hands in a gesture of respect.

"Senior, in that case, shall I take my leave to challenge the next person?"

With that, Qin Ming unfolded his wings of light and prepared to fly to the Sea Dragon Holy Pillar.

"Qin Ming, wait a minute."

Just as Qin Ming was about to set off, the Sea Maiden Douluo called out to him.

Do you know how strong Brother Hailong is?

Brother Hailong now has a soul power of level 94.

He is the strongest among us, the guardians of the sacred pillars.

You can't possibly defeat him by using the same tricks you used to defeat me!

Hearing the sound behind him, Qin Ming stopped in his tracks.

Recalling the information he had read in the original work, Qin Ming's mood became heavy.

Although it is now 20 years before the original timeline, the Sea Dragon Douluo still has level 94 soul power.

Meanwhile, in the original novel, when Tang San and Hailong Douluo fought, they agreed not to use soul skills in their battle.

Therefore, Qin Ming was unaware of what soul skills the Sea Dragon Douluo actually possessed.

Qin Ming only knew that the Sea Dragon Douluo possessed a self-created soul skill that could double his own attack power: the Sacrifice Skill.

And the Demon-Breaking Domain, capable of breaking through all domains.

There is also a defensive fifth soul skill.

Apart from that, Qin Ming had no further information.

Having lost his intelligence advantage, Qin Ming knew that winning this battle would not be easy...

At this point, Qin Ming had already prepared himself for defeat.

In Qin Ming's view, it didn't matter if he lost this battle.

His second test did not require him to defeat his opponent in one go.

For Qin Ming, lacking an intelligence advantage meant he could simply launch more challenges...

While pondering, Qin Ming turned to look at the Sea Maiden Douluo.

"I know."

"You know, you're still going to challenge him in your current state?"

Your soul power is almost completely depleted, isn't it?

Seeing the Sea Maiden Douluo looking at him with a puzzled expression, Qin Ming waved his hand and said.

"Senior, it's not too late for me to recover my soul power once I get there."

Qin Ming had already considered the issue of his own soul power status.

He planned to bring this up with Sea Dragon Douluo after Sea Dragon Douluo agreed to the challenge.

Qin Ming believed that given the personality of the Sea Dragon Douluo, he would definitely not take advantage of him.

That would be a good opportunity to use the time to recover soul power and wear down the Sea Dragon Douluo's mentality.

In order to gain some small advantages before the battle even begins...

Of course, Qin Ming himself knew that his little scheme was unlikely to have much effect.

But something is better than nothing.

Qin Ming has made his decision.

If I fail to defeat the Sea Dragon Douluo in that battle, I will first cultivate at the Sea God's Light.

I'll wait until I reach level 70 and obtain my Martial Soul True Form, achieving a qualitative leap in strength, before going to fight the second battle...

At this moment, the Sea Maiden Douluo, who had been observing Qin Ming, also noticed Qin Ming's expression, and her brows furrowed.

"No, Qin Ming, when you found out you were going to challenge Brother Hailong, your expression was very focused."

You seem to value this battle very much…

After muttering a sentence, the Sea Maiden Douluo finally realized what she meant.

Pointing at Qin Ming, she couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

"You, you, you..."

After a long while, the Sea Maiden Douluo finally let out a cold snort.

"Qin Ming, what do you mean?"

You look down on me, but you value Brother Hailong highly!

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming shrugged and did not offer any further response.

Seeing this, the Sea Maiden Douluo pouted.

"Let's go, let's go quickly."

I don't want to see you again.

With that, the Sea Maiden Douluo turned her head away, put her hands on her hips, and didn't want to look at Qin Ming anymore.

Seeing this, Qin Ming didn't linger any longer and immediately spread his wings and flew towards the direction of the Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar...

After sensing Qin Ming's departure, the Sea Maiden Douluo reluctantly found a step to sit down, her untransformed fishtail slapping the ground in front of her.

"So annoying, so annoying."

That brat and all those people from the Spirit Hall are so annoying!

The high priest had previously asked me to mobilize the power of my clan to help him find some underwater volcano and some 10-year-old sea spirit beast with fire attributes.

I have absolutely no desire to help.

As she spoke, the Sea Maiden Douluo waved her fist in the direction Qin Ming had left.

"When I asked the elders in my clan, they said that there might be a 10-year-old fire-attribute soul beast on the largest volcanic island near the Demon Whale Sea."

Should I tell them this or not...?

After sulking for a while, the Sea Maiden Douluo looked in the direction of Sea God Mountain.

"Never mind, let's go ask the high priest first."

If that kid is willing to let me beat him up.

I'll just tell them the news.

With that, the Sea Maiden Douluo disregarded everything else and immediately rose to fly towards the direction of Sea God Mountain...

Just as the Sea Maiden Douluo was heading to Sea God Mountain, Qin Ming had already arrived at the Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar.

As he slowly descended from the sky, Qin Ming glanced at the empty platform in front of him and raised an eyebrow.

"I did not conceal my presence; the Sea Dragon Douluo must have sensed my approach."

His absence at this point most likely indicates he's planning to pull off some fancy trick like in the original story.

When he realized that Sea Dragon Douluo wanted to make an entrance like in the original story, in order to give him a hard time.

Qin Ming took a few steps forward and arrived at the platform where the Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar was located.

At this moment, the sea around the Sea Dragon Pillar suddenly began to churn.

"They've arrived."

Sensing this, Qin Ming didn't say anything more.

Knowing Hailong Douluo's personality, Qin Ming immediately sat cross-legged in the center of the platform, assuming a posture to recover his soul power...

next moment.

"Singing—"

A dragon's roar resounded through the sky.

With this dragon's roar, a turquoise water dragon broke through the sea surface and flew into the sky above the Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar.

A blood-red vortex appeared in mid-air, and the azure water dragon gradually transformed into a human form within the vortex.

Just as Sea Dragon Douluo twisted his waist, preparing to punch downwards, he noticed Qin Ming below, who was recovering his soul power.

Sensing this, Sea Dragon Douluo froze.

He originally intended to make his entrance by kneeling and crashing to the ground, but Qin Ming sat directly in the center of the platform where the Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar was located.

No matter how he falls, it will inevitably affect Qin Ming.

While pondering, Hailong Douluo glanced at Qin Ming and saw that Qin Ming had already entered a state of cultivation.

Sea Dragon Douluo's face darkened.

He knew he was being manipulated.

Qin Ming was certain he wouldn't resort to underhanded tactics, which is why he was sitting so casually on the platform recovering his soul power...

After thinking about this, Sea Dragon Douluo covered his face with his hands.

To maintain his image, Sea Dragon Douluo cursed inwardly and decided to change his entrance.

Sea Dragon Douluo slowly descended from the sky.

He crossed his arms and looked down, landing a few meters in front of Qin Ming.

Just as Hailong Douluo was about to speak, he noticed that Qin Ming still had his eyes closed and was not reacting at all.

Sea Dragon Douluo knew that his performance had once again been staged for a blind man.

At this moment, he began to lose control of his emotions.

"Who are these people...?"
