Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 8 The Tycoon Ye Liangchen

Ye Liangchen is about to obtain his first soul ring, which is a big deal. Lan Xiaodie and her sister, along with Shui Lingfeng, consulted the Encyclopedia of Soul Beasts. Although the little guy's magical martial soul comes with its own soul skills, they still tried their best to find soul beasts with similar attributes.

Ye Liangchen then used his mind to check his game inventory to see if there were any changes.

"Wow! The Five Elements Mystery Steps, that's an amazing movement technique!"

The "Dan Dian" records the methods of alchemy, as well as the properties and uses of various rare and exotic herbs from all over the world. It even includes medical knowledge. This is great. I can get the immortal herbs from the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire in the future.

The "Refining God Technique" cultivates the soul and spiritual power. When cultivated to a certain level, one can see through all illusions, launch soul attacks, and even transform the soul into human form. This is countless times more powerful than Little Tang San's Purple Demon Eye! Truly impressive.

There are also two sword techniques: "Ten Thousand Plum Blossoms Welcoming the Wind" and "Flying Immortal from Beyond the Heavens".

Holy crap! Isn't this "Ten Thousand Plum Blossoms Welcoming the Wind" sword technique the same sword technique of Ximen Chuixue, the Sword God, from the game "Eternal Life" I played in my past life? And Ye Gucheng's peerless sword technique, "Flying Immortal from Beyond the Heavens"! I'm rich! I'm rich!

"Hey! There's another bottle of Body Tempering Pills, perfect for body tempering, not bad at all!"

Ye Liangchen was inwardly cheering, feeling that this game was giving him a lot! If he learned all of this, wouldn't he be able to sweep everything aside?

These cultivation techniques and treasures couldn't be taken out in front of everyone, so after Ye Liangchen withdrew his thoughts, he picked up the jade pendant-like soul tool that his parents had left him to see what was inside.

"Huh! Since this soul tool was left by my parents, and Lan Xiaodie doesn't seem to have seen it before, I can put the first two chapters of the Hunyuan Technique and the Five Elements Divine Fist into it, and then I can lie and say that it was left by my parents. After that, I can pass it on to Lan Xiaodie and the others openly. As for other cultivation techniques, we can talk about them later."

"They were so good to him, always thinking of him. As a model youth who grew up under the red flag, Ye Liangchen also understood the principle of gratitude. Besides, they were his protectors; the stronger they were, the safer he would be."

Thinking of this, Ye Liangchen pretended to go into the bathroom in his room, closed the door tightly, and then used his mind to take out the first two chapters of the Hunyuan Jue and the Five Elements Divine Fist from his game backpack space and put them into the jade pendant soul guide.

As for the two peerless sword manuals, they were also taken out. Anyway, they would assume that the sword manuals were left by their father and wouldn't suspect anything. Let whoever likes to practice them practice them.

Ye Liangchen only left behind the first two chapters of the Hunyuan Jue, which should be enough for them to cultivate to the level of Peerless Douluo. As for what level they will actually reach, they will know after they start cultivating. As for the Supreme Chapter, they are not cheaters and cannot cultivate it.

Ye Liangchen wasn't sure what level Lan Xiaodie and the others could reach after cultivating the Hunyuan Technique, since they were already in their forties. However, since he had given them Foundation Establishment Pills before, it shouldn't be a problem for them to reach the Title Douluo level. Even Grandma Dean might be able to reach the Title Douluo level.

When Ye Liangchen used his soul power to probe into the jade pendant's space, he found that the space inside was about 50 square meters, with a pile of gold soul coins, estimated to be several million gold soul coins, and an exquisite and simple wooden box, about one meter in length and width.

Holy crap! I never imagined my parents would leave me so much money! Millions of gold soul coins—that's a fortune in Douluo Continent! Now I'm a rich second-generation heir.

Ugh! I don't like money! I'm not interested in money.

Ye Liangchen remembered Little Ma's boastful words, shook his head, took out the wooden box, and wanted to see what was inside.

Upon opening the box, they found a palm-sized token inside. In the center of the token was a golden longsword, and on the left and right sides were six symbols, including a hammer, a dragon, and a sword. It seemed that this token was the papal decree.

Ye Liangchen opened both small boxes and looked inside. One of the boxes contained four soul bones, one of which was different from the others and seemed to be an external soul bone.

The other box contained a book on Soul Master cultivation techniques and a sword manual left by his father, Ye Feng. Ye Liangchen flipped through it and found it acceptable.

That's great! The things my parents left me are all high-end items!

Ye Liangchen quickly put the two "Hun Yuan Jue" and "Five Elements Divine Fist" and the three sword techniques into the box and stored them in his soul guide device. Then he picked up the Pope's Decree, walked out of the room, and shouted at Lan Xiaodie and the others.

"Aunt Lan, Grandma Dean, look! What's this?"

Lan Xiaodie and the others, who were planning Ye Liangchen's cultivation path, were startled when they saw the papal decree in the little guy's hand.

"This is the Pope's decree! Xiao Chen, you've activated your soul tool?" Lan Xiaodie asked in surprise.

"Yes, Aunt Lan! I found a lot of money inside the jade pendant soul tool, as well as this plaque and a wooden box."

Ye Liangchen pretended to be shocked, and then placed the jade pendant and the papal decree in Lan Xiaodie's hands.

"It seems that Xiao Chen's parents left the Pope's decree in the soul tool. Xiao Chen! This is the inheritance your parents left you; you can spend it slowly in the future."

Lan Xiaodie picked up the papal decree, looked at it, and then stuffed the papal decree and the soul tool into Ye Liangchen's hand. She felt it was inappropriate to look at the property left by Ye Feng and his wife.

"Aunt Lan! I'm only 6 years old. What if I lose all this money? It would be safer if you kept it for me."

Ye Liangchen knew Lan Xiaodie and the others' character. The reason he did this was to get them to open the box and learn the super technique. Otherwise, wouldn't he have wasted his time?

"Okay! Then Auntie will manage this money for you. When you need money, Auntie will give it to you, and you can spend it however you want."

As Ye Liangchen's guardian, Lan Xiaodie also felt that it was unsafe for the little guy, who was only 6 years old, to be carrying such a large sum of money on his person, like a child carrying gold on the street.

So she used her soul power to examine the inside of the jade pendant to see how much money Ye Feng and his wife had left behind.

The next moment, Lan Xiaodie was startled by the mountain of gold soul coins inside the soul tool.

"My God! So many gold soul coins, there must be at least several million. Ye Feng and Liu Ruyan are really amazing, leaving so much money, enough for the little guy to live on for a lifetime."

Gold Soul Coins are the universal currency in Douluo Continent. One Gold Soul Coin is equivalent to ten Silver Soul Coins and one hundred Copper Soul Coins. An ordinary commoner's annual expenses are only three or four Gold Soul Coins.

"It seems that Ye Feng and Liu Ruyan have already prepared a way out for Xiao Chen."

Shui Lingfeng and Lan Xiaodie exchanged a glance, thinking that with this money, they could ensure that the little guy would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life.

Lan Xiaodie took out the wooden box. Looking at the simple and old-fashioned box, she opened it to take a look.

"There are actually two more boxes."

"Buzzing..."

After the first box was opened, several beams of light emanated from it, radiating powerful soul energy.

"My God! There are four soul bones!"

"Moreover, it's a soul bone that's quite old, looking at least tens of thousands of years old."

"Huh! This soul bone is different from others. Could it be an external soul bone?"

"That's right! It's an external soul bone, and a ten-thousand-year-old one at that! This is an absolute treasure!"

"The treasure that Xiao Chen's parents left him is truly remarkable!"

Lan Xiaodie and her sister, along with Shui Lingfeng, were incredibly excited as they looked at the four soul bones, but they had no particular desires; these all belonged to Ye Liangchen.

"The aura of the external soul bone is at least ten thousand years old. Now it can be absorbed by Xiao Chen. This kind of soul bone can accompany the little guy's growth, and the age of the soul bone will also increase. This kind of treasure is rare and hard to come by, second only to a 100,000-year soul ring."

Shui Lingfeng suggested that Ye Liangchen, who possesses innate full soul power and twin martial souls, must be nurtured with the best resources.

"Buzzing..."

Lan Xiaodie pinched Ye Liangchen's entire body with her hands, using her soul power to sense the strength of the little guy's physical body.

"After Xiao Chen awakened his martial soul, his physical strength became several times stronger than before. Now his physical strength is astonishing, and he should be able to absorb this external soul bone."

Ye Liangchen didn't think these soul bones were anything special. Tens of thousands of years was a bit low; a hundred thousand years would be more appropriate. Besides, he had a cheat code, so soul bones weren't very important to him.

"Xiao Chen! Come! Use your soul power to absorb and fuse with this external soul bone."

Lan Xiaodie handed the external soul bone to Ye Liangchen, and then taught him how to absorb the soul bone.

"Aunt Lan! Grandma Dean! What about you? You have so many soul bones, you can absorb them too!"

"Silly child, this is a treasure left to you by your parents. How can we use it? Quickly absorb the external soul bone according to the method I'm about to teach you!"

Lan Xiaodie and her sister, along with Shui Lingfeng, refused to absorb the soul bone, which was left to Ye Liangchen by his parents. As guardians, they had no ulterior motives. However, seeing how sensible the little guy was, they were deeply moved and urged him to absorb the soul bone quickly.

"Oh well!"

Ye Liangchen used his soul power to attach the external soul bone to his back, closed his eyes, calmed his mind, and used his soul power to guide it to fuse.

"Buzzing..."

As Ye Liangchen's soul power guided him, the external soul bone transformed into a ball of light and merged into his back, making him feel a little itchy and a little painful, like being bitten by ants.

"Chirp chirp..."

Another image appeared in Ye Liangchen's soul sea: a five-meter-tall thunder eagle rushing towards him.

How dare a mere little bird act so presumptuously?

Break it for me…

Having lived two lives, Ye Liangchen possessed an extremely powerful soul and was not afraid of the remnant soul consciousness within the soul bone. With a cold snort, he unleashed his Dragon-Shaped Fist, quickly dispersing Lei Ying's remnant soul consciousness.

After Lei Ying's remnant soul consciousness dissipated, his external soul bone successfully fused with Ye Liangchen, and it was perfect.

"Swish swish..."

"Sizzle..."

A pair of golden wings, encircled by lightning, extended from Ye Liangchen's back. Each wing was 1.5 meters long. The golden wings slowly flapped, lifting Ye Liangchen up from the ground in an incredibly dazzling display.

The golden feathers on its wings are very hard and can be used as weapons to kill enemies. That's really good.

"I can actually fly!"

Ye Liangchen felt like he had turned into a birdman. Seeing that he was about to crash into the roof, he immediately controlled the speed of his wing flapping and slowly descended.

"Xiao Chen! How are you feeling? Do you feel unwell? What is the Soul Bone skill?" Lan Xiaodie grabbed Ye Liangchen's hand and asked with a worried expression.

"No discomfort, I feel great. Aunt Lan! This is an external soul bone of a 15000-year-old Thunder Eagle. In addition to flight ability, the soul bone can also be used as a weapon." Ye Liangchen moved his body and felt very comfortable. He felt that his physical strength had increased by about half.

Seeing that Ye Liangchen had successfully integrated, Lan Xiaodie and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief. They touched the golden feathers on their wings and felt that they were like razor blades.

"Great! That's wonderful! When we encounter enemies, we can use our wings as weapons."

"Xiao Chen! Now use your mind to retrieve your external soul bone." Lan Xiaodie stroked Ye Liangchen's little head, feeling very gratified.

"Child! Before you become strong, never reveal your external soul bone casually outside. Although your external soul bone has been fully fused, there are too many bad people outside. Once someone with bad intentions discovers it, they will become envious."

Shui Lingfeng admonished Ye Liangchen not to flaunt his wealth, saying that there were too many bad people in the world and he should remember this.

"Don't worry, Grandma Dean, I'll remember that." Ye Liangchen nodded. When your strength isn't enough, you have to play it safe for now.

"What's in this last box?" Lan Xiaoling opened the remaining boxes and saw several cultivation manuals displayed before everyone.

"The Hunyuan Technique, the Five Elements Divine Fist, and the three sword techniques and cultivation insights left behind by Ye Feng."

"My God! These aren't cultivation techniques from Douluo Continent!"

"It must have been obtained by Ye Feng and Liu Ruyan seven or eight years ago when they explored a divine site. Could it have come from the realm of gods?"

"If they had practiced those techniques back then, they would have become Title Douluo long ago."

Lan Xiaodie and the others were extremely shocked; this kind of technique was beyond their comprehension.

Ye Liangchen was quite surprised to hear that his parents had once explored miracles!

However, Lan Xiaodie and the others thought that the Hunyuan Technique and the Five Elements Divine Fist came from the divine realm, which is good, as they no longer need to explain.

Previously, Ye Liangchen had put the cultivation techniques into the box, fearing that it might reveal some clues. Unexpectedly, his parents had explored the miracle. Lan Xiaodie and the others also filled in the blanks in their minds, believing that these cultivation techniques were brought out by their parents from the miracle.

"Perfect!" Ye Liangchen thought to himself.

"These three peerless sword techniques are perfect for Xiao Chen to cultivate. Now we don't have to worry about Xiao Chen's sword martial spirit cultivation anymore."

"These cultivation techniques all belong to Xiao Chen and are extremely precious. Let's put them away for him first."

Although Shui Lingfeng and Lan Xiaodie were very excited, they didn't have any other thoughts when they thought about how Ye Feng and Liu Ruyan had risked their lives for these things.

"Grandma Dean, Aunt Lan, you should cultivate too!"

Ye Liangchen took out these cultivation techniques for them to practice; otherwise, it would have been a waste.

"My child! You are truly my lucky star."

Seeing how sensible Ye Liangchen was, Lan Xiaodie excitedly picked up the little guy and kept kissing him on the face affectionately.

"In that case, let's cultivate! Only by becoming stronger can we protect Xiao Chen and the two little girls as they grow. Perhaps we can even rely on this divine skill to become Title Douluo."

"In this world where the strong are respected, only those with sufficient strength can gain a foothold."

Shui Lingfeng and Lan Xiaoling exchanged a glance. With this divine skill, they would surely be able to rebuild their sect in the future.

Lan Xiaodie and the others carefully observed the Hunyuan Technique. This technique was thousands of times stronger than the simple meditation and cultivation of a Soul Master, and it broadened their understanding.

Afterwards, they took out Lan Xiaodie's several million gold soul coins and the remaining three soul bones, and placed them in the academy's treasury for the little guy to keep safe. Then the three girls spent almost a day copying down the Hunyuan Technique and the Five Elements Divine Fist, and put them away.

Lan Xiaodie then put a thousand gold soul coins, the Hunyuan Technique, the Five Elements Divine Fist, and several sword manuals into the jade pendant, put the jade pendant around Ye Liangchen's neck, and told him to keep it safe and cultivate diligently. The little guy is currently in the initial stage of soul master cultivation. If he cultivates a divine skill, his future achievements will be limitless.

"These divine skills are incredibly precious. They completely shatter the existing understanding of the Soul Master world. Once they are spread, they will surely cause a bloodbath."

"We must keep this a secret; it must not be told to anyone other than our own people."

"As for the people in the academy, we'll discuss this matter further after we've helped Xiao Chen obtain his first spirit ring."

After dinner, Lan Xiaodie and her sister discussed their future plans with their mother, being extra careful about this kind of supernatural power.

Once this technique is exposed, the entire Douluo Continent will go crazy, and all forces will launch a joint attack on Tianshui Academy.
