Douluo Continent: The Storytelling Immortal King, Shocking the Entire Continent

On the high platform, Su Chen's voice did not stop, continuing to describe that heartbreaking scene:

"After entrusting the dying baby to the old village chief, the young couple stood at the entrance of Stone Village and took one last reluctant look at the baby in the swaddling clothes."

"Even though I was very reluctant to leave, I didn't stay in Ishimura for even a moment longer, but instead tried to find something."

"And so, the two who left the child behind turned around and left without looking back."

"Leaving behind only that dying infant, all alone in this desolate wilderness overrun by ferocious beasts."

……

Upon hearing Su Chen's explanation, the numerous Soul Masters instantly erupted in a frenzy.

"What? They abandoned a dying baby in that godforsaken, impoverished mountain ravine and then ran away?"

In the front row of the lobby, a lean, hot-tempered Soul Master stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief.

"Mr. Su, your story is so illogical!"

"That's the extremely dangerous wilderness you spoke of! Stone Village is dirt poor, it doesn't even have a decent healing soul master. Leaving a dying baby there, isn't that just blatantly letting him wait to die?"

"That's right!"

As soon as the Soul Master finished speaking, a wealthy merchant dressed as a nobleman immediately echoed him loudly:

"I thought this couple were some kind of amazing heroes!"

"In the end, they turned out to be two cowards who were afraid of death and abandoned their own flesh and blood!"

"Exactly, they must have offended some major sect or powerful soul master outside, which is why they are being hunted down and have nowhere to run."

"Then they figured carrying a half-dead baby would be a burden and slow them down, so they just dumped him on that old geezer village chief!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, when disaster strikes, everyone flies away. They can even abandon their own flesh and blood like a burden. Such heartless and ungrateful parents are unworthy of being mothers. They are disgusting!"

"In that desolate place, the Great Wilderness, you can't even find a few grass roots to pull up, so where would you find any miraculous herbs to save lives?"

"That baby was already dying; if left in that dilapidated village, it probably wouldn't even survive a night of cold wind."

For a time, the entire teahouse was filled with verbal attacks against the couple.

After all, in the eyes of these Soul Masters and nobles in Douluo Continent, the rules of survival in this world are very simple.

If you are seriously injured, you should go to big cities and the Spirit Hall at all costs to find those spirit masters who possess the Nine Heart Begonia or high-level healing spirits to save your life.

What's the difference between abandoning a dying baby in a remote mountain village and throwing the baby directly into the Star Dou Great Forest to feed the soul beasts?

……

Meanwhile, in the private room numbered Tian on the second floor.

Sword Douluo Chen Xin also frowned deeply, let out a cold snort, and unconsciously released a sharp sword aura from his body:

Even tigers don't eat their cubs.

"If this couple is truly in trouble, they should fight to the last breath, until their last drop of blood is shed, to protect their child."

"To simply abandon it as a burden in a desperate situation is truly despicable!"

For Chen Xin, who has devoted his life to the way of the sword and is unyielding, abandoning his child is nothing short of cowardly.

Meanwhile, Ning Fengzhi, the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, gently shook his folding fan and sighed:

"Perhaps they were driven to a dead end by their enemies, with no way out."

"But this approach is indeed irresponsible."

"That child, what a pity."

Meanwhile, Tang San, sitting in a corner on the first floor, made no attempt to hide the mockery on his face.

He leaned back comfortably in his chair and whispered to Xiao Wu beside him:

"See that, Xiao Wu? This is the story he made up. It's contradictory and illogical."

"Leaving aside whether that absurd higher-dimensional world exists or not, the behavior of these parents is already quite pathetic."

"If it were my parents, or me, even if I were to bleed to my last drop, I would never abandon my loved ones as a burden to run away for my own life."

"The more vulnerable and disadvantaged a person is, the more likely they are to abandon their wife and children."

At this point, Tang San paused for a moment, then continued his analysis:

"In my opinion, this dying baby is definitely the main character in the story."

"Su Chen is just trying to gain the audience's sympathy with this tragic start, and then forcibly arrange some completely illogical adventures so that the baby can survive."

"This approach is too simplistic and too clumsy."

"How can you save people in a place like the Great Wilderness, where there aren't even any support-type Soul Masters, if you don't even know the most basic medical knowledge?"

"Are we supposed to save ourselves by the glow of that charred willow tree that didn't even emit a trace of soul power?"

"This is utterly ridiculous!"

In an instant, all the Douluo people in Tingyuxuan felt that the couple were selfish and utterly despicable.

However, on the high platform.

Hearing the uproar and indignant condemnation from the audience, Su Chen remained completely unfazed.

After all, these people are just a bunch of frogs in a well, with only two things on their minds: hunting soul beasts and absorbing soul rings. They would even go to great lengths to destroy a boulder.

How could they possibly know that the heroic man they were so viciously insulting was actually a peerless genius from the lower realm!

How could they know that, in order to seek justice for the child in his arms, he once wielded a golden spear and single-handedly stormed into that vast ancient kingdom, causing the entire Martial King's Mansion to be drenched in blood!

The reason why she endured the heartache and left the child in Shicun was not at all to escape and abandon the burden!

It was because the child's injuries were not ordinary sword wounds!

They need to travel to some ancient sacred mountains to seek divine medicine in order to have a glimmer of hope.

But Su Chen wouldn't utter a single word about these shocking past events and truths at this moment.

He's going to dig this huge pit right here.

It would be too boring to reveal all the truth now.

"Snapped!"

Thinking of this, Su Chen didn't offer any explanation. He simply slammed his gavel down again, silencing the entire Tingyu Pavilion once more.

"Ladies and gentlemen, as you have heard, the story begins with this baby in swaddling clothes."

"This infant, who was still in swaddling clothes and whom even the village chief thought would not survive, actually survived."

"And he is the protagonist of this book."

"Shi Hao".

"Snapped!"

On the high platform, the gavel fell crisply once more, silencing all the clamor and mockery within Tingyu Pavilion.

Su Chen remained calm and composed, gently waving his folding fan in front of his chest, and continued his eloquent narration:

"It was an extremely poor village, with houses mostly built of huge stones, simple and rough."

"To fill their stomachs, the men in the village had to carry bone spears every day, risking their lives to fight against those ferocious beasts on the edge of the wilderness."

"But even in such poverty, the people of Stone Village possess the most genuine warmth in this cruel wilderness."

"The old village chief, Shi Yunfeng, adopted this critically ill baby."

"There are no spiritual herbs in the village, let alone the so-called healing-type soul masters you speak of."

"All the old village chief could do was boil some strong, ferocious beast milk every night and feed it to this little guy little by little."

"It's strange, but under the roughest animal milk in this wilderness, and with the protection of the willow god at the village entrance, this baby, who was originally on the verge of death, miraculously survived."

"Time flies, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye."

"The baby who used to cry so faintly that it was almost inaudible has grown into a chubby, fair-skinned porcelain doll with unsteady steps."

"Her big, bright eyes and rosy cheeks make her very adorable."

"It's just that this little guy has an almost obsessive fondness for animal milk because he has been drinking animal milk to keep him alive since he was a baby."

Even though he's over three years old, he still holds a milk can and drinks it nonstop every day, with milk stains always on the corners of his mouth.

"The adults in the village couldn't help but laugh at his adorable appearance, so they gave him a very affectionate nickname—"

"Little baby".
