Douluo Dragon King: My Strategy System Is a Bit Off

Chapter 38 The Disciple of the Target

"Your Majesty, this is a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear?" The staff member looked at the red-haired woman beside him and asked cautiously.

Regardless of whether it's the beginner, intermediate, or advanced Spirit Ascension Platform, each has a guardian. All Spirit Ascension Platforms are actually a unified whole, but this whole is divided into these three levels, each accessible through different methods. To prevent Soul Masters from easily progressing from lower-level to higher-level platforms, there must be forces responsible for monitoring and protection. Within the world of the Spirit Ascension Platforms, only Soul Beasts are responsible for these protections.

An exceptionally powerful soul beast.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear that Lin Ci killed should theoretically be impossible for any Soul Master below level four to kill. Its death at the hands of Lin Ci and his group of six was an accident. Furthermore, because these Spirit Ascension Platform Guardians needed to be stronger, their creation wasn't simply based on the spiritual power of the original Soul Beasts; they utilized Soul Bones.

In a sense, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear embodies the rules, meaning it's not something the beginner's Spirit Ascension Platform should hunt. Therefore, the soul bone that finally drops is actually considered property of the Spirit Tower.

However, it was indeed Lin Ci who killed him, which caused a conflict and made it difficult for the staff to handle. That's why they asked Leng Yaozhu, who was standing next to them.

Wu Changkong frowned slightly, just about to say something to help his disciple obtain the soul bone.

"Don't worry about it," Leng Yaozhu said calmly.

She slightly raised her head, her gaze seemingly piercing through the screen, as if she could directly see the scene inside the Spirit Ascension Platform. She continued, "Since they won through their own strength, this soul bone belongs to them. Although the Spirit Ascension Platform has rules, being able to break those rules is also a manifestation of strength."

Wu Changkong was slightly taken aback, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He had been worried that Leng Yaozhu would take back the soul bone under the pretext of the rules, but he hadn't expected her to be so lenient.

The staff member was stunned, seemingly not expecting Leng Yaozhu to make such a decision, but dared not ask any more questions. He responded and stepped aside to continue monitoring the situation inside the Ascension Platform.

About ten minutes later, everyone left the Ascension Platform one by one.

Lin Ci slowly sat up from inside the cabin and rubbed her slightly sore neck.

That said, lying in here isn't very comfortable. Even when he's unconscious, his body aches so much.

I had just stood up when I looked up and saw a familiar face.

The boy seemed surprised to meet her here and was momentarily stunned.

The woman's gaze was also fixed on the boy, her long red hair slightly draped over her waist.

Lin Ci's fingers were still on the back of his neck, the cold light from the control cabin casting varying shades of shadow on his face. The sounds of hatches opening and closing all around seemed to have been muted, and his pupils reflected only that fiery red.

Gu Yue, who came out from the side, was slightly taken aback, and then her brows furrowed deeply.

She had a feeling something was off. Her teacher also seemed a bit off.

Wu Changkong introduced the six people, saying, "This is His Majesty the Heavenly Phoenix."

Your Majesty? !

Apart from Gu Yue and Lin Ci, everyone else was shocked, because in Douluo Continent, there is only one possibility for someone to be called "Your Majesty".

That means having your own title, which means your soul power level has reached the level of a Title Douluo.

That means the stunningly beautiful young woman before us is a Title Douluo!

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

The way they addressed him as "Your Majesty" was truly filled with respect, as they were all still young. How could they not feel awe in the face of such a supreme being?

When Lin Ci shouted along, the corner of her mouth twitched slightly.

Leng Yaozhu took everything in, a barely perceptible smile playing on her lips. She then slowly withdrew her gaze, turning to Wu Changkong beside her, and asked, "May I speak with one of your students?"

Wu Changkong paused slightly, but still nodded and said, "If he's willing, then so be it."

Leng Yaozhu nodded, her boots making a crisp sound on the ground, and she slowly walked to Lin Ci.

"Shall we chat?"

The question was simple and seemed like a discussion, but only Lin Ci could hear the unquestionable tone within it.

This woman is still as domineering as ever.

Leng Yaozhu led Lin Ci to the highest office of the East Sea Spirit Pagoda.

Lin Ci was still very uneasy, wondering if she would really recognize something.

The fact that there were only two people in the place made him feel even more uneasy.

Even if Leng Yaozhu is incredibly clever, she probably wouldn't have imagined that there would be a strategist who could be reborn.

Of course, Lin Ci was more inclined to believe that the other party valued his talent and wanted to take him as a disciple. After all, Gu Yue's outstanding performance at the Spirit Ascension Platform caught the attention of the staff at the Spirit Transmission Tower, which led to Leng Yaozhu discovering him and taking him as a disciple.

Lin Ci also hopes it will be this kind rather than the former.

Leng Yaozhu, dressed in a dark purple uniform with a Spirit Pagoda emblem on her chest, rested her chin on her hand and looked at the boy not far away.

Lin Ci felt a little uneasy under the gaze, but still forced a smile and asked, "Your Majesty, is there something you need from me?"

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Leng Yaozhu lightly tapped the sandalwood tabletop with her fingertips, the halo of light from the crystal chandelier weaving a spiderweb between them. The neon lights of Donghai City outside seeped through the bulletproof glass, condensing into tiny spots of light on the gold lines of her epaulets. A cool fragrance floated in the air, like the scent of cedar mixed with saltpeter.

After a long silence, she slowly asked, "Would you like to join the Spirit Pagoda?"

As soon as she said that, Lin Ci visibly relaxed.

Since it's still this kind of thing, then he'll have to handle it "officially."

Lin Ci pretended to ponder for a moment, then asked, "Benefits?"

But as soon as he uttered those two words, the red-haired woman laughed.

This smile is very infectious; only genuine happiness can produce such an infectious smile.

Lin Ci naturally had no idea what the crazy woman was laughing about, but he didn't dare to ask her directly at this moment.

Leng Yaozhu parted her lips slightly: "Isn't the treatment at the Spirit Pagoda good enough?"

Lin Ci shrugged slightly. "Even inside the Spirit Pagoda, it depends on the situation; the treatment will naturally differ."

Leng Yaozhu seemed to have anticipated everything, and simply said, "Just register your name with me. My disciple's treatment is beyond question."

Lin Ci was still wondering how he should refuse if the other party asked him to be her disciple. After all, he felt something was off about having this woman as his teacher.

But the next sentence made Lin Ci's eyes light up.

They only need to be nominally affiliated, do nothing, and still enjoy the highest level of treatment. As the deputy tower master of the Spirit Pagoda, Leng Yaozhu's disciples receive absolutely top-tier treatment.

Lin Ci answered almost without hesitation, "Deal."

Compared to struggling to sell grilled fish, this kind of business is clearly more worthwhile. What dignity? What's not quite right?

What happened to the targets I used to pursue? They're all insignificant compared to the benefits I receive.
