Douluo Continent, Boss's Martial Soul, Geniuses Work for Me

"Just do it if you want to. I estimate I'll be away for a while."

Shangluo was puzzled. Could there be something wrong with that jade swan?

Why can't I feel anything when absorbing a spirit ring?

Shangluo summoned his first soul ring, and its emerald-purple light illuminated the dim dungeon.

Where the green veins were attached, a new mark had appeared.

The mark was as black as ink, and on it was a ferocious giant tiger with two wings.

The overwhelming evil aura and terrifying intent that rose into the sky sent chills down one's spine.

"Soul Beast Mark?"

Shen Shi'an was shocked. Could this level of marking be from a 100,000-year-old soul beast?

Moreover, it's a ferocious beast with an extremely strong evil aura, dating back 100,000 years!

"What is a Soul Beast Mark?"

Shangluo turned to look at Shen Shi'an and asked calmly.

He certainly lacked understanding in this regard.

Shen Shi'an frowned and said uncertainly:

"High-level soul beasts will plant their own mark in the bodies of their severely injured prey to prevent them from escaping, so that they can find the prey at any time and hunt them down."

He had read some ancient books about the royal family and had a vague understanding of them.

Shangluo was stunned. Had the jade swan been marked?

No wonder the swan seemed listless and didn't put up any resistance.

Could this kind of mark really be grafted onto a Soul Master?

What kind of insidious talent is this?

Shangluo stared intently at the mark, and the more he looked, the more familiar it seemed.

This two-winged black tiger looks so much like...

Shangluo gasped, feeling a chill run straight to the top of his head.

Dark Demon God Tiger!

In the original story, he was almost killed by Tang San; his strength was comparable to a 100,000-year-old Star Dou ferocious beast!

Could it be that I stole its prey and it's holding a grudge against me?

Or does it see itself as the new "Emerald Swan"?

But regardless of the outcome, it would be a devastating blow to Shangluo.

Shangluo has a fairly clear understanding of its own strength.

They can handle Soul Kings and Soul Emperors, but if they encounter a Soul Saint, they'll most likely have no choice but to run away.

But when faced with a 100,000-year-old soul beast comparable to a Title Douluo, there is only one outcome—

A dead end!

However, even if he faces them head-on, he might not necessarily die. The damage reduction brought by the Xuanwu Martial Soul can allow him to dodge one or two waves of attacks, and then he can use the Asura Eye to hide.

Just then.

A sudden flash of inspiration burst forth from the depths of my heart, like having finally escaped a maze with all my might, only to find the exit right behind me when I turned around.

If the "boss" can "recruit" Soul Masters, then why can't he "recruit" Soul Beasts?

However, no notification appeared for the previous Emerald Swan...

Could it be that the jade swan is of insufficient quality?

Thinking of this, Shangluo suddenly became excited.

Maybe...we could give it a try?

"Boss, boss?"

Shen Shi'an was somewhat confused.

Even a normal person would feel utterly devastated upon hearing such news, if not heartbroken.

Why does he seem a bit agitated now that we're with the boss?

It seems that what's eyeing the boss isn't a terrifying beast comparable to a hundred thousand years old, but a plump roast chicken.

Shen Shi'an gritted his teeth, but no matter what, he couldn't let his boss face this alone.

Ling Qingyue, Qin Feng, and Shen Shi'an exchanged glances, all seeing the determination in each other's eyes.

Their lives were given a new lease on life by their boss, so why would they be afraid of death?

Seeing the calm and still appearance of the ancient well in Shangluo, Qin Feng couldn't help but admire it.

To remain so calm in a life-or-death situation—look at that composure!

It seems he still has a lot to learn from his boss.

But what they didn't expect was that Shangluo was simply thinking about whether he could recruit the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

If he succeeds, wouldn't he gain a bodyguard at the level of a Title Douluo?

Shangluo snapped out of his daze and noticed the three people staring at him.

That resolute gaze and fearless demeanor reminded Shang Luo of a saying from his past life.

With such a determined look in your eyes, do you really want to join the Party?

Shangluo rolled her eyes: "..."

Facing the Dark Demon God Tiger, unless the combat power is sealed, having one more or one less makes little difference.

He doesn't have the habit of leading his employees to their deaths.

"I can handle this alone. Be careful of retaliation from the Qin family and the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group."

Everyone was stunned, especially Qin Feng, who had just joined the company and was so moved that he almost burst into tears.

Where is there any logic in a boss facing danger alone while their employees merely survive?

Where can you find such a responsible leader?

He... he wants to be a beast of burden under the boss for the rest of his life!

In fact, when Qin Feng heard about the "100,000-year-old soul beast", he knew that they had no right to interfere in this matter.

The boss seems so confident; he must have found a solution.

The crowd didn't stand on ceremony and immediately nodded in agreement.

"So what do we do now?"

"Clean up the remaining Blood Wolves."

Shang Luo's gaze turned cold; he was determined to nip the problem in the bud.

Since they've decided to break off all ties, there's no need to hide anything. In any case, the moment Li Hu died, he and Li Shi formed an irreconcilable feud.

If we don't get rid of him, there will be endless trouble in the future.

……

After clearing out the remaining mercenaries from the mine, Shangluo and his group quietly disappeared into the night.

That night, the people of Xicheng only saw the firelight shooting into the sky from the mine, illuminating half of the sky.

Most of the people in Xilu City witnessed the astonishing fire.

This signifies the complete end of the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group's enslavement of civilians.

Meanwhile, for some unknown reason, boxes of gold soul coins appeared in the streets and alleys of the western city, casually tossed in conspicuous locations throughout the city.

Jiang Cheng's head, which remained unburied in death, was hung directly on the city gate.

The only sentence left was a simple statement, yet it stirred the hearts of half the city's inhabitants:

The Blood Wolf has been wiped out, and the people's hard-earned money has been returned to them.

Countless dark-skinned commoners kowtowed repeatedly to the heavens.

Only one middle-aged miner seemed to remember something, and started shouting madly, grabbing a piece of charcoal with glee as he yelled.

Tears streamed down his face: "It's him, it's him!"

That day, a boy and a girl stepped straight into the mine, and the entire mercenary group was subsequently wiped out.

Who else could it be besides those two?

The fact that the other party so brazenly burned down the mine suggests they have no fear of retaliation.

All he needs to do is spread this story!

Let others see that even the Celes have heroes who save ordinary people!

Xilu City is not ruled by those landlords!

Overjoyed, he grabbed the charcoal and sketched the image of the boy and girl in his mind on a piece of white paper.

……

Inside a tavern in Xilu City.

"happy!"

Shen Shi'an slammed the wine pot heavily on the table, his face slightly flushed as he wrapped his arms around Qin Feng's neck.

"After all these years of decadence, this is the first time I feel like I've done something good!"

Shen Shi'an couldn't help but sigh, and said bitterly:

"It's a pity I didn't get to take that beast Jiang Cheng's head myself!"

"Save your breath. Can you even beat them before you take it?"

At this moment, Qin Feng had changed into a clean robe, and he really looked like a young master from a prominent family.

After this incident, the group had become quite familiar with each other.

"Hmph, you look down on me? Let me tell you, that Li Shi, I could give him three moves and he still wouldn't be able to hurt me."

"Are you bragging? Then you'll be the one dealing with Li Shi."

Seeing Shen Shi'an arguing so heatedly, his face turned red.

Ling Qingyue smiled slightly, pursing her lips.

Shangluo smiled and shook his head, taking a sip of wine.

He suddenly found himself liking this atmosphere.

It actually made him feel like he was part of this world.

This kind of thing—punishing evil and promoting good—is most in line with the spirits of these young men and women.

But wasn't he also a boy who traveled from another time?

Well, actually, in his previous life, he was already a nearly thirty-year-old man.

After midnight, Shangluo checked the panel again:

[Employee Zhu Zhuqing kills Crimson Flame Python, funds +3.6!]

[Employee Ling Qingzhu killed a Blood Wolf mercenary, gaining +2.5 funds]

[Employee - Shen Shi'an...]

【staff……】

Current funds: 51.6!

After recruiting Qin Feng, we only had 35.8 left in funds, but after our trip to the mine, our funds suddenly became plentiful again.

It seems that those vassals of Jiangcheng in the mines are also using flesh and blood to cultivate.

Just as the atmosphere at the dinner table was getting lively, the dark mark inside Shang Luo's body, like a deadly talisman, became burning hot again.
