Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 126 Blind Douluo Tao Ge

At Tianshui Academy, Shui Lanxin and the others were very anxious because Ye Liangchen had not returned even after more than three months of his trip.

"Xiao Chen hasn't come back for so long, could something have happened to him?"

Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er were the most worried. The two sisters regretted that they should have gone out with the little guy in the first place.

"Given the brat's cautious nature, he should be fine. Perhaps he's with Gu Yuena."

"Xiao Chen once told us that the woman might be a god, and that he was probably kept by her and would be alright."

The Shui sisters were also very worried. If the white-haired woman forced them to stay, how could the little one, with his small body, withstand the abuse of a woman who seemed to be a god?

"Dean, what is a god?" Little Kitten, Snow Dance, and the others asked curiously.

"I don't know either, but I guess it must be a powerhouse above level 99!"

"Xiao Chen said before that you should cultivate to level 99, and maybe he will take you to become gods in the future."

Shui Lanxin now guessed that her brat might have obtained the inheritance of a god, because the little guy's female humanoid martial soul was called the Goddess of Life.

"We also have a chance to become gods? Dean, that's highly unlikely!"

"Let's wait until Xiaochen comes back before we talk about it! Right now, we're just speculating."

While Shui Lanxin and the others were worried about Ye Liangchen at Tianshui Academy, he and Ye Cailan leisurely traveled around, making some pills along the way. It took them almost half a month to reach a small mountain village called Dihun Village on the outskirts of Notting City.

Emperor Soul Village is located less than 3 kilometers from Holy Soul Village. It was named Emperor Soul Village because a Soul Emperor once lived there.

Ye Liangchen looked at the plaque at the entrance of the village and found it very interesting. He wondered if the village chief was competing with Old Jack, the village chief of the neighboring Holy Soul Village.

"Xiao Chen, this Emperor Soul Village is quite similar to Holy Soul Village! The neighboring Holy Soul Village produced a Soul Saint, and this place produced a Soul Emperor. It seems these villagers greatly admire the status of Soul Masters!"

"Sister Lan, this is a world where the strong are respected, which is why Soul Master is the most coveted profession. Once an ordinary person becomes a Soul Master, they have the opportunity to enter the noble class. You know, the life of a noble is like heaven and earth compared to the life of a commoner. That's why these commoners want to become Soul Masters so much."

"Ordinary people do indeed suffer greatly, sometimes even being captured by nobles and sold into slavery. Xiao Chen, you see through this world so clearly, will you change all of this in the future?"

"Perhaps! To change these things, one needs immense power."

"you're right,…"

The two chatted quietly as they traveled. When the villagers saw this handsome young man and beautiful young woman, they thought that the two must be Soul Masters, and they all stopped to watch from a distance.

As Ye Liangchen and his companion passed by the Spirit Hall's small wooden house in Emperor Soul Village, they saw a young man in a Spirit Hall uniform posting a notice on the wall of the small wooden house, while a group of children and adults were watching.

Ye Liangchen glanced at it and was immediately drawn to some of the contents of the notice, so he walked over to take a closer look out of curiosity.

"Xiao Chen, what are you looking at?" Ye Cailan immediately followed behind.

When Ye Liangchen and Ye Cailan arrived at the cabin square, the villagers were attracted by their appearance and thought they were some important people, so they immediately made way for them, including the young man.

"I am Ross, the village chief of Emperor Soul Village. May I ask what brings you two lords to our village?"

At this moment, a sprightly old man in his sixties came out and respectfully asked Ye Liangchen.

"Old man, you don't need to be so polite. We are just Soul Masters who went into the mountains to collect herbs and were just passing through your village."

Upon seeing the old village chief named Ross, Ye Liangchen recalled that the village chief of the neighboring Holy Soul Village was named Jack, and this village chief was named Ross. Jack and Ross, it felt quite interesting.

"Don't be afraid, everyone."

Seeing many children hiding behind adults, peeking out with their heads held high and eyes filled with awe, Ye Cailan smiled warmly and extended her goodwill to everyone.

"I am Su Yuntao, a patrolling deacon of the Spirit Hall in Notting City. I pay my respects to you two lords. May I ask what brings you here?"

The young man sensed that Ye Liangchen and Ye Cailan's soul power was unfathomable, especially the aura emanating from the beautiful woman, which he felt was similar to that of the mysterious figure he had encountered in Notting City a few days ago. At this moment, he thought that the two of them were some important figures from the Spirit Hall, so he immediately and respectfully revealed his identity.

Holy crap! This guy is actually the blind Douluo Su Yuntao?!

Ye Liangchen was stunned. He never expected to encounter the legendary blind Douluo, Brother Tao, in this small Emperor Soul Village.

"There's no need for such a formal greeting."

"We were just passing by and were curious about this Spirit Hall proclamation, so we came to take a look."

Ye Liangchen had a good impression of the blind Douluo Tao Ge; this guy could be considered one of the best grassroots cadres in the Spirit Hall.

"The Soul Master subsidy will stop being issued when the user reaches the age of 35..."

"The Invincible Master's theory is utter nonsense..."

As Ye Liangchen muttered the two announcements, he immediately felt that Bibi Dong was deliberately targeting Yu Xiaogang.

Holy crap! I never expected that I could bring Bibi Dong, this love-struck woman, to her senses with just a passage from the "Ice Heart Manual".

This is how they started to stab Yu Xiaogang in the back. As the saying goes, the deeper the love in the past, the deeper the hatred now. How interesting.

Excellent! Really excellent!

Yu Xiaogang's past has been exposed, and he's probably furious right now, wishing he could skin Bibi Dong alive and eat her flesh.

"The proclamation issued by the Pope has put pressure on a great soul master like me. I am already 26 years old, and in another 9 years, I will no longer be able to receive the subsidy."

Su Yuntao muttered to himself, he also couldn't understand why the Pope would issue such a proclamation.

"Brother Tao, you're already a patrol deacon of the Spirit Hall in Notting City, which is a very good job. You get a salary every month, and the Spirit Master subsidy is nothing to you."

Seeing Su Yuntao sighing, Ye Liangchen advised him to take it easy.

"Young master, my salary is only a few thousand gold soul coins a year, while a Grand Soul Master receives a monthly subsidy of 10 gold soul coins. For a Grand Soul Master like me, that's a huge sum of money. We Soul Masters need resources to cultivate, and I also need to save money to get married!"

For some reason, Su Yuntao blurted out his desire to get married in public. Perhaps it was because Ye Liangchen's address of him as "Brother Tao" made him feel that this young master was down-to-earth, so he accidentally let it slip.

"Pfft...!"

Upon hearing Su Yuntao's words, Ye Cailan couldn't help but smile. In that instant, her beautiful smile seemed to bathe everyone like warm sunshine.

"My lord, please excuse my poor appearance."

Su Yuntao quickly apologized to Ye Cailan, feeling quite speechless that he had actually mentioned saving money to get married.

"Brother Tao! There's nothing funny about it. Saving money to get married is also a dream."

Ye Liangchen felt that Brother Tao was a bit like those 996 youths who struggled in first-tier cities on Earth in his previous life. They were also striving for the dream of saving money to get married. However, in the Douluo world, it was much easier for Soul Masters to get married.

Su Yuntao was in love with a beautiful woman named Sisi. Sisi was also a deacon of the Spirit Hall in Notting City, and a gold digger who didn't care much for Su Yuntao.

Su Yuntao was essentially that woman's lapdog. It has to be said, there are a lot of lapdogs in this world, otherwise, with Su Yuntao's qualities, he could easily find an ordinary woman to be his wife.

"Lord Su Yuntao, your annual salary is several thousand gold soul coins, which is an astronomical figure for us commoners."

"That's right! We commoners only earn a few gold soul coins a year, maybe 10 or so at most. Our lives are the hardest."

"It's still better to be a Soul Master. If my child has Soul Power when he awakens his Martial Soul this year, that would be great."

At this moment, several villagers also started talking about these issues, their eyes revealing longing, all hoping that their children would have soul power when they awakened their martial souls.

"Becoming a Soul Master is not that simple. I have been a steward for eight years, and every year I help children in twenty surrounding villages awaken their Martial Souls. In all these years, only a dozen or so children have acquired Soul Power."

Su Yuntao himself came from a commoner background, and it was extremely difficult for a commoner to become a Soul Master.

"Master Su Yuntao, six years ago, a Blue Silver Grass Soul Master with innate full soul power appeared in Holy Soul Village. His name was Tang San. I heard that you were the one who awakened him. A few months ago, Old Jack was still bragging to me that the kid named Tang San had already graduated from Notting City and was almost a Soul Master."

Old Village Chief Ross recalled Old Jack's ruddy complexion back then and felt a little resentful.

"That's right! I helped Tang San, that Blue Silver Grass Soul Master, awaken his Martial Soul. He's probably already a Soul Master by now."

Upon hearing the name Tang San, Su Yuntao felt he had been blind. Tang San was the most outstanding graduate in Notting Academy's history, and he had once called him a useless spirit. Just a few days ago, he had almost been punished by that mysterious figure from the Spirit Hall for that.

"He awakened his martial soul six years ago and is already a Soul Master? He's only twelve or thirteen years old, that's incredible."

The villagers of Emperor Soul Village were all amazed when they heard that this was such a young Soul Master.

Ye Cailan listened quietly to these things, thinking that if a 12-year-old Soul Venerable was already so surprising, then when everyone heard that her master was a 12-year-old Soul King, their jaws would probably drop.

"Oh, right! I'm here today to awaken the martial spirits of the children. Village Chief Ross, let the children in and line up."

Remembering his business, Su Yuntao immediately opened the small wooden house of the Spirit Hall, took out six gems, and placed them on a hexagonal instrument, preparing to awaken the spirits of these children.

"Children, don't be nervous, listen to Master Su Yuntao's instructions."

Old village chief Ross led eight children into the wooden house, where they lined up, while their parents waited anxiously outside, hoping their children would awaken a good martial spirit.

"Sister Lan, do you think these children who awaken their martial souls will have soul power?"

"Xiao Chen, let's go in and take a look. Maybe we'll find something unexpected."

Ye Cailan pulled Ye Liangchen into the Spirit Hall's small wooden house, much to the surprise of Su Yuntao, who was awakening a child's spirit.

"Brother Tao, we'd like to take a look too, is that alright?"

Ye Liangchen asked Su Yuntao a question, and seeing the Lone Wolf Martial Soul possessing the other party, he looked quite like a werewolf.

Ye Liangchen felt that this martial soul was a "single dog martial soul" for Su Yuntao, because this guy could never win over Sisi, so he was a single dog.

"Young master, there is no problem."

Su Yuntao thought to himself, with your strength, how dare I say no!

"Why don't I help the children awaken their martial spirits?"

Ye Cailan found awakening a child's martial soul quite interesting, so she wanted to give it a try.

"Oh! Okay, sir, then I'll trouble you." Su Yuntao was very grateful to see such a great expert willing to help.

"Kids, don't be nervous. I'll help you awaken your martial spirits."

"Buzzing..."

Ye Cailan smiled at the group of children, then summoned her Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul and nine spirit rings: two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red.

"A titled... Douluo, with a 100,000-year soul ring." Su Yuntao was dumbfounded. He never expected that this beautiful woman was actually a titled Douluo.

Wow!

"Nine spirit rings? Is this what a Title Douluo is like?"

The eight children and the villagers outside the wooden house were also stunned, especially the village chief Ross, who never expected to encounter a titled Douluo in his lifetime, and a female Douluo at that.

"Don't be offended, little friend, please come up."

Ye Cailan beckoned the first little boy to come forward, and then input her soul power into the awakening device to awaken the little boy's martial soul.

"Buzzing..."

With the infusion of soul power, a kitchen knife appeared in the little boy's hand.

"Brother Tao, get to work! Quickly test that kid's innate soul power!" Ye Liangchen reminded Su Yuntao, who was still dumbfounded beside him.

"Okay! Little one, hold the crystal ball with your hand."

Su Yuntao immediately took out the soul power testing crystal ball and instructed the little boy to test his soul power.

"A kitchen knife-type martial soul has no soul power."

Seeing that the crystal ball did not react, Su Yuntao directly announced the result.

"Next one." Ye Cailan called another child up.

"The hoe has no soul power."

"The rake, sickle, spatula, blue silver grass, and carrot all lack soul power."

After testing seven children in a row, none of them had innate soul power. Su Yuntao was a little disappointed, and it seemed that there was no hope for a promotion and raise this year.

"Brother Tao, don't be disappointed, there's still one last one!"

Ye Liangchen beckoned to the last pretty little girl and led her into the awakening device.

"Little sister, what's your name? Don't be discouraged, maybe you'll become a Soul Master." Ye Cailan gave the little girl a gentle smile, then channeled her Soul Power to awaken her Martial Soul.

"Thank you, sister. My name is Kim Soo-joo." The little girl smiled sweetly.

"Buzzing..."

As soul power was channeled into her, a pink rose appeared in the little girl's hand.

Hmm! It's a little different!

Ye Liangchen and Ye Cailan exchanged a glance, and at the same time sensed that this little girl seemed to possess innate soul power.

"Pink flowers? Little sister, let's test your soul power."

As usual, Su Yuntao stepped forward to test the little girl's soul power.

"Swish..."

As soon as the little girl grasped the crystal ball, it instantly shone with a dazzling light.

"His innate soul power is actually level 9?"

"It's a pity that the martial soul is just a pink flower, similar to the useless Blue Silver Grass martial soul. What a pity! What a pity! Such a pity."

Su Yuntao looked at the little girl's martial soul and sighed, saying a few words of regret. In his understanding, this flower was similar to the useless martial soul Blue Silver Grass.

As expected of the blind Douluo, the Rose Flower Martial Soul with innate level 9 soul power was actually considered a useless Martial Soul by Su Yuntao. Ye Liangchen didn't know how this guy became a deacon of the Spirit Hall.

"Pfft..."

Ye Cailan couldn't help but laugh. She was speechless at Su Yuntao's perception of her. What kind of Soul Master knowledge did this guy learn in school?

"Brother Tao, this isn't a useless martial soul. It's a rose, which can be used for control-type martial souls. This Jin Xiuzhu has a natural soul power of level 9. Her minimum achievement in the future is Soul Saint. With a little effort, she might even reach the Title Douluo level."

"Brother Tao, you'd better recommend this little girl to the Spirit Hall Academy. That way, she can receive the best training."

Ye Liangchen reminded the blind Douluo Su Yuntao from the side, so that he could broaden his horizons.

"A... a rose-themed martial soul? Young master, are you telling the truth?"

Su Yuntao immediately took out a book about martial spirits from his body and began to examine it. Before long, he found the Rose Flower Martial Spirit. This kind of martial spirit was not a useless one.

"Thank you for reminding me, young master. I almost missed out on another genius."

"Thank you, sir. Thank you, young master."

Su Yuntao immediately knelt down and bowed to Ye Liangchen and Ye Cailan. These two gentlemen had discovered a genius soul master for him, and now he had a good chance of getting a raise and a promotion.

"Brother Tao, don't be so polite. Here's what I'll do! I'll write a letter for you to Pope Bibi Dong, so she can pay close attention to this little sister."

Ye Liangchen took out a pen and paper and wrote a letter to Bibi Dong, asking her to mentor this little sister who was at the level of innate level 9. After all, she was his godmother, and they were all family.

"Young master, do you know the Pope?" Su Yuntao was even more shocked at this moment. Who was this young master?

"Of course I know him. Alright! Here's a letter of recommendation. Keep it safe and don't open it carelessly. Seal it tightly afterward, and when you report it, just say that Long Chen recommended him to the Pope."

"Long...Long Chen? You're the young master from a few months ago."

When Su Yuntao saw that this incredibly handsome young man was actually the audacious Long Chen, who had beaten Prince Xuexing a few months ago, his head immediately started buzzing.

Shh! Don't make a sound, we're leaving now.

Ye Liangchen, using the name Long Chen, wrote a letter to Bibi Dong, including his views on the Spirit Hall, and handed it to Su Yuntao before leaving Emperor Soul Village.

"Village Chief Ross, quickly summon the child's parents! Those two adults have awakened a Rose Flower Martial Soul with innate level 9 soul power for this little girl. I want to recommend her to the Spirit Hall Academy; she might become a Title Douluo-level powerhouse in the future..."

Su Yuntao immediately began arranging for the little girl's enrollment in school, and his promotion and salary increase were assured.

"Lord Su Yuntao, is this true?"

"It's true."

"Haha...! From now on, our Emperor Soul Village will have to be renamed Douluo Village."

The villagers of Dihun Village were overjoyed to hear this, and Kim Soo-joo's parents cried with excitement.

"Thank you, gentlemen."

Kim Soo-joo's parents pulled her to kneel down in the direction where Ye Liangchen and his companion had disappeared, to express their gratitude to the two handsome men and beautiful women who were like gods, for bringing hope to their family.
