Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Ten Ferocious Heavenly Horned Ant

"Tang San... Dong Qing, is the Tang San you're talking about the Tang San from another world?"

"If it's not him, then who else could it be? Didn't I tell you about this person a long time ago?"

"I was asleep that night, so I don't remember very clearly."

"He didn't do well in his past life. In this life, he finally managed to make some progress, but he's become incredibly audacious and dares to have bad intentions towards my Xiao Wu. He's just asking for trouble."

Chapter 626, You Woman, You're Hopeless

Dong Qing reminded me.

Dugu Yan finally remembered who Tang San was, and also remembered that he was her classmate at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and that they had participated together in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition.

It's no wonder she didn't remember.

The main reason is that Tang San's nickname "Poison Man" is so well-known that people forget his real name is Tang San.

To date.

Not many people still remember Tang San. Apart from Dong Qing, probably only Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin, Mirror Douluo, Yu Xiaogang, Yu Tianheng, Xiao Wu, and so on still remember him.

People like Ning Rongrong, Ye Lingling, and Dugu Yan, who had little interaction with Tang San, wouldn't even remember his name if Dong Qing hadn't reminded them.

There's no need to dwell on why; this is the stark reality.

The dead, that is, people who have died, are easily forgotten.

Sometimes, let alone their specific appearance, no one can even remember their name.

Unless the deceased was very famous during his lifetime, no one will remember his existence.

"What's so great about Xiao Wu's pink rabbit? Dong Qing, why are you so protective of her?"

"Beautiful legs!"

"Isn't mine pretty?"

"They all look good."

"No, you rascal, you have to say I'm good-looking."

"You're beautiful, you're beautiful, you're beautiful everywhere."

After barely managing to appease the persistent Dugu Yan, Dong Qing breathed a sigh of relief. With peace and quiet, he could finally eat his meal in peace.

Although he doesn't rely on ordinary food to replenish his energy, the desire for food is a fundamental human desire, and he has no interest in giving it up, nor will he.

He is devoid of emotion and desire, pursuing the Way of Heaven; that is not him.

He was driven by emotions and desires, and pushed himself to the limit; that was who he was.

Perhaps a state of being without emotion or desire is indeed very suitable for cultivation. When a being has no extra emotions, it is natural to cultivate and become stronger 24 hours a day.

However, Dongqing did not like this way of becoming stronger.

Without him.

He couldn't be heartless and desireless, and he couldn't abandon his confidante.

Moreover, just like Hei An Qian Ren Xue, her shackle is Dong Qing, and Dong Qing also needs to give himself a shackle so that he will not lose his humanity in the long course of his life.

The shackles that bind a person's humanity are the women around them.

.......

More than ten hours passed in the blink of an eye.

At midnight, the bright moon hung high in the sky, and the lights were on full display.

Hanhai City truly lives up to its reputation as the most prosperous city in the Tiandou Empire besides Tiandou City. Located on the coast, it is rich in resources, and with the opening of Poseidon Island to the outside world, the city has become even more prosperous.

On the bustling street, pedestrians were everywhere, and vendors were enthusiastically hawking their wares. Dong Qing and Dugu Yan, a man and a woman, wearing masks, were walking side by side.

"That old man Dugu Bo, I really don't want to talk about him. I never realized before, but he has a really bad temper. The moment he sees me, he immediately becomes hostile, as if I killed his son," Dong Qing muttered under his breath.

"Alright, you're acting innocent after getting the benefit. Your grandfather's only granddaughter has been snatched away by you. He must be unhappy with you. If it weren't for the fact that you're the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, he might have tested you." Dugu Yan covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Let's be clear, when did I ever trick you? It was clearly you who..."

Dong Qing didn't finish speaking.

Dugu Yan covered his mouth tightly, forcibly silencing him from saying anything more.

And at that very moment.

A heated argument broke out at a congee and noodle stall not far away, attracting onlookers. However, this time it wasn't a dispute over the price between the fish seller and the fish buyer.

The reason for their argument was not complicated; it was mainly over a trivial matter, namely, whether or not a diner ate an extra bowl of noodles.

Dongqing himself was unwilling to concern himself with such matters between ordinary people, just as he had not participated in the argument between the fish seller and the fish buyer.

Ordinary people are ordinary people.

The Soul Master's Returning Soul Master.

God's things belong to God.

People of different identities go their own way and do not interfere with each other.

But what happened next.

This caused a great emotional tremor in the heart of this temporary evil god-king, the future Asura god-king, the holy son of the Spirit Hall, the ninth prince of the Heavenly Horned Ant clan, a pure-blooded Heavenly Horned Ant, and a pure-blooded humanoid being.

"Look, open your eyes and look carefully, it's a bowl of noodles, it's a bowl of noodles, I really only ate one bowl of noodles, can I prove now that I only ate one bowl of noodles?"

A young man with an extremely honest appearance held up a blood-stained bowl, which contained exactly the amount of noodles.

He shouted excitedly at the people around him, completely ignoring the gash on his stomach, trying to prove his innocence.

"It's just a bowl of noodles, why are you yelling at us? Who knows he might be lying?"

"Are you crazy? We were just joking, why are you being so extreme?"

"At worst, you can just pay for an extra bowl of noodles. Do you really want to die?"

"It's not just me saying that, everyone's saying it, they all say you ate two bowls of noodles."

"Even if this old man selling noodles really wronged you, he might just be old and blind."

"Okay, okay, you only ate one bowl. Go find a healing-type Soul Master to save your life!"

The onlookers were not intimidated by the bloody scene and launched a verbal attack on the honest-looking young man, completely ignoring the fact that they had just wronged him.

"Dongqing, how can there be such a stubborn person in this world? To prove that he didn't eat an extra bowl of noodles, he cut open his own stomach to prove it."

Dugu Yan looked puzzled and frowned slightly. As a Soul Master, she actually hid behind Dong Qing in the face of this mortal's shocking actions.

She wasn't afraid, but it was disgusting. She'd seen bloody scenes before, but she'd never seen anyone so ruthless to themselves.

Of course, more importantly, now that she has Dongqing to rely on, she, as a woman, always intentionally or unintentionally shows her vulnerability.

Perhaps this is a woman's natural instinct; she tried to evoke Dongqing's protective instincts and didn't want to be too assertive in front of him.

This is like...

Your girlfriend might not be able to open a bottle cap in front of you.

However, the real her behind the scenes is capable of smashing a watermelon with a single blow.

joke.

This woman possesses the Azure Phosphorus Serpent Emperor Martial Soul, whose Azure Phosphorus Serpent Emperor Poison can kill an entire city. How could she be a weak woman?

Dong Qing naturally understood Dugu Yan's personality and knew that she wasn't afraid of the scene, but simply didn't understand why someone would do such a thing.

He was willing to risk his life for a bowl of noodles.

"There are hundreds of millions of ordinary people scattered across the mainland, but not everyone is rational. Many are very ignorant and easily misled, manipulated, or guided by certain opinions."

"The reason why the gods, who are high above, call themselves shepherds is because they have discovered a truth: that mortals have a herd mentality like sheep."

"This herd mentality is easy to explain: once one, two, or three sheep start moving, the other sheep will follow suit without thinking."

As Dong Qing spoke, the gravity field opened silently, and an invisible gravity descended upon an area of ​​a thousand meters in radius, causing everyone to feel their bodies becoming heavier and heavier.

"Soul Master, this powerful force, this irresistible gravity, absolutely comes from you!"

“We didn’t force him to prove himself, Soul Master. It was his own fault for being too impulsive.”

"That's right, Soul Master, we were also deceived. It's the fault of that unscrupulous merchant."

Dong Qing ignored the words of these mortals. Wearing a mask, he led Dugu Yan, who was also wearing a mask, to the rice noodle stall.

“Soul Master, I was wrong, I misread it, my old eyes are failing me…” An old man in his fifties or sixties knelt on the ground.

Dong Qing had no time to pay attention to him. He simply reached out and gestured behind him, and over a hundred figures appeared in unison, all wearing long, black robes.

These men in black were none other than Dong Qing's bodyguards, whose soul power was generally above level 50.

Although Dongqing himself does not need any guards for protection, his identity dictates that he cannot be without guards.

Therefore, these guards were mostly just followers and did not play any role in protecting him at all.

But... some things... how should I put it!

This is about sophistication; having it and not having it are two different things.

Although these guards are unable to protect Dong Qing due to their own limitations, they can sometimes help Dong Qing with some trivial matters.

These seemingly decorative guards also serve a purpose, such as handling matters that Dong Qing cannot conveniently appear in person for, or when he needs to give instructions.

so.........

These black-clad guards were all female Soul Masters. Although their backgrounds were complicated, they all came from sects and forces under Dong Qing's command.

There are leopard women from the Fire Leopard Sect, antelope women from the Rock Antelope Sect, and bee women from the Sparrow Peak Sect.

Their martial spirit's main characteristic is speed, and they are primarily responsible for handling bloody and unclean matters.

Besides these three sects belonging to Dongqing, there are also people from the four single-attribute clans.

There are four clans with a single attribute, each with its own unique strengths. We will not discuss the clan of strength for now.

The Min clan is the fastest flyer.

As members of the Bai Chenxiang clan, they also possess the Swift Martial Soul, which not only grants them the ability to fly but also makes them the fastest flying Martial Soul among all bird-based flying Martial Souls.
