Douluo: I am ready to leave the Spirit Hall. The system will come.

Chapter 112 Returning to Wuhun City is like returning home

If we talk about the biggest surprise in the process of hunting soul beasts, there can only be one - soul bones.

Soul bones are extremely scarce if they are less than ten thousand years old. The soul bone output rate of ten thousand year soul beasts is much higher than that of low-level soul beasts, but as long as they are less than a hundred thousand years old, the actual output rate is still very low, it's just higher than that of low-level soul beasts.

And this time, when hunting the Archaeopteryx, a soul bone was unexpectedly revealed! The right arm bone of the 70,000-year-old Archaeopteryx!
You Chen does not pursue absolute perfection in soul bones. He is not like those fan fiction protagonists who pursue a hundred thousand year soul bones or even the soul bones of a ferocious beast.

The reason why You Chen has never absorbed soul bones is not because he dislikes soul bones that are not at the hundred thousand year level, but simply because... soul bones are too rare.

Soul bones can be passed down, which means that as time goes by, there will be more and more of them in the world.

In this era, many Titled Douluo only have one or two soul bones, let alone You Chen.

He only had a piece of head soul bone, and the compatibility was not to be mentioned. Even if he absorbed it, it would not improve the essence of martial soul at all. For You Chen, whose goal at that time was only to evolve his martial soul, it was a bit like a chicken rib that was tasteless to eat and a pity to throw away.

You Chen was already very satisfied with this 70,000-year-old Archaeopteryx right arm bone, especially because it and his sixth soul ring came from the same origin, so the degree of fit was naturally much higher than other soul bones!

However, You Chen did not intend to absorb it now.

Unlike in the past, the reason now is very simple.

Absorbing soul bones, like absorbing soul rings, will enhance the stability of the martial soul.

Therefore, before Youxing Xiaohao absorbed the first three spirit rings, he would not use any spirit bones.

After storing the Archaeopteryx's right arm bone into the storage space, You Chen chose to return.

Then, about a month passed.

A major earthquake occurred among the upper class of Douluo Continent.

Almost all the nobles knew one thing, that is, the Marquis of Shanya and the son of Duke Antonio of the Xingluo Empire were assassinated!

The one who did it was none other than the killer organization "Skynet" which has gradually gained fame in recent years!
Compared to before, the "Skynet" organization can be said to have become truly famous this time.

Even in remote areas of Douluo Continent like Notting City, there are rumors about Skynet. Some parents even use Skynet to scare their children, saying things like "If you don't listen, Skynet's killers will suddenly appear and take you away."

The Xingluo Emperor began to call on the whole country to arrest and crack down on the Skynet organization.

Although the Spirit Hall has a transcendent status, to ordinary people on the current Douluo Continent, the two empires are more noble existences.

This has nothing to do with strength, because ordinary civilians and low-level spirit masters only know that Titled Douluo are very powerful, but they have no specific concept, nor do they know that the Spirit Hall is the force with the most Titled Douluo.

The reason why the empire has such strong appeal is that humans respect the concept of "country" more.

In other words, the civilization of Douluo Continent did not transition to a stage where immortal cultivators were supreme and ordinary emperors merely served them because of the emergence of supernatural powers.

Under such appeal, many civilians were mobilized. Even though the Soul Fighting Beasts began to practice the Breath-Concealing Technique, it was still difficult to hide from everyone's sight.

It's only a matter of time before you're discovered.

However, unlike what many people expected, the whereabouts were exposed this time, in fact, it was deliberately done by the Soul Fighting Beast Organization.

The Xing Luo Empire dispatched an army of thousands of soul masters to encircle and suppress the soul fighting beasts.

Among this army of thousands of people, there is also a Soul Douluo and ten Soul Saints.

Everyone felt that the so-called Skynet was, after all, "a vast net that leaves nothing unattended," and that it would come to an end in this encirclement and suppression campaign.

However, the result surprised everyone and shocked and frightened them.

An army of one thousand people surrounded and suppressed one hundred Skynet killers, but they suffered heavy losses in the first encounter under the strange weapons in the hands of the Skynet killers.

That Soul Douluo and the ten Soul Saints did not gain any benefit either.

Because Skynet also has a "Contra"!
Moreover, he is a Soul Douluo whose strength is considered extremely strong among all Soul Douluos!

Afterwards, some survivors in the army revealed that the Contra general who led them was instantly killed by Skynet's Contra killer at the first sight!

It was also because the Soul Douluo killer's methods were too horrific, coupled with the previous casualties, the army's morale collapsed instantly, and everyone, including the ten Soul Saints, began to flee!

Some people with a curious mind named the killer at the Contra level as the Sky-level killer based on the sequence of bronze-level killer, silver-level killer, gold-level killer and earth-level killer previously reported by Skynet!
After this incident, the once powerful camp of condemnation suddenly became silent.

Even the Xingluo Emperor who initially called for the destruction of Skynet has stopped.

There is no other reason. He is a heavenly killer who can kill a Soul Douluo instantly. Even if he is not a Titled Douluo, he already possesses the deterrent power of a Titled Douluo!
What's more... In fact, they couldn't confirm whether this person was a Soul Douluo or a Titled Douluo?
After all, this Heaven-level assassin didn't even reveal his spirit ring when he attacked! The reason why it was previously inferred to be a Soul Douluo was because most soul masters didn't think in the direction of a Titled Douluo!
In this day and age, each Titled Douluo is like a martial arts legend in martial arts novels, a mysterious existence that can only be seen from the head but not the tail.

Soon after this incident, the Emperor of Xingluo issued a statement, claiming that the previous incident had been found to be a misunderstanding, and that the Marquis of Shanya and the son of Duke Antonio intended to snatch the soul beast prey of the Heaven-level killer, but were instead punished by the Heaven-level killer. Through the correspondence between the Marquis of Shanya and the son of Duke Antonio in the Marquis of Shanya's mansion, it can be basically confirmed that the evidence is conclusive.

And Antonio also followed suit and completed the just separation with the Duke right after the Xingluo Emperor made his statement.

After severely condemning the actions of Marquis Shanya and Duke Antonio, the Xingluo Emperor declared that he would hand over all of their property to the Heavenly Grade Killer as compensation, and sincerely invited the Heavenly Grade Killer to serve as a guest official in the Xingluo Empire.

After the whole incident, the Star Luo Empire can be said to have become a complete joke, and the officials of the Tiandou Empire even took advantage of this to make a big fuss and severely mocked the Star Luo Empire.

But no one laughed at the Heaven-level Killer.

After all... who wouldn't be afraid of a killer who can instantly kill a Soul Douluo in front of thousands of soldiers on a frontal battlefield?
Especially for an emperor who has already climbed to the pinnacle of power, who would be willing to fall out with such a person?

Skynet never responded to Emperor Xingluo's thanks, and the entire Skynet organization fell silent.

The storm seemed to have subsided...

In the blink of an eye, another half a year has passed.

"The speed of practicing the Divine Elephant Prison-Suppressing Power has obviously slowed down again."

After his life level was raised, You Chen felt that the difficulty of practicing the Divine Elephant Prison-Suppressing Power had been reduced.

With the benefits of the Divine Elephant's Prison-Suppressing Power, it would not be a mistake to put soul power training aside temporarily and make it the main practice.

During the past six months, even if You Chen had neglected his daily soul power training, he would practice the comprehensive Divine Elephant Prison Power at least once.

But now, as the number of giant elephant particles exceeded 50%, You Chen felt that his practice efficiency was greatly reduced.

The blessing of three ten thousand year soul rings is very high, and one of them is a seventy thousand year soul ring. Just in terms of the physical blessing of the soul rings, You Chen is comparable to some Soul Douluo with poorer quality soul rings. It's just that his Divine Elephant Prison Power, which he had not improved half a year ago, his comprehensive physical fitness has reached the Soul Douluo level.

Combined with the fact that he currently had few high-level BUFF pills in reserve, and the momentary distraction effect of the Soul-Shocking Technique, he was able to achieve the feat of instantly killing a Soul Douluo just half a year ago.

And now, he has progressed more than halfway through the entry level of the Divine Elephant Prison-Suppressing Power. His overall physical quality is definitely among the best among Soul Douluo. If he goes back to half a year ago, even without using that high-level elixir, he will be confident that he can do the same thing.

That is to say...

At first sight, some Soul Douluo with weak mental power, who have not reached the Lingyuan realm, and whose physical fitness is insufficient, may be killed instantly by him now.

As long as his mental strength has not reached the Lingyuan realm, it will not be much easier for him to kill a Soul Douluo or a Soul Sage instantly.

However, it is different when facing a strong man at the Lingyuan realm of spiritual power. Even if his spiritual power is improved to a higher level, the great success level of the Soul-Shocking Art alone may still be insufficient.

Because, for the Soul Douluo whose mental power obviously had not reached the Lingyuan realm, You Chen could still feel extremely obvious resistance when he used the Soul-Shocking Technique after using super concentration.

If his speed was not fast enough, the opponent would most likely have been unable to react before he could inflict serious damage.

The biggest difference between the Lingyuan Realm and the Linghai Realm is that the perception is outward, and everyone can achieve an ability similar to spiritual detection.

Their perception of danger is far beyond that of those below them.

If You Chen only used the Soul Shocking Technique to shock them, it would be fine. Once he had the intention to kill them, they would realize it at an extremely alarming speed. 'But this is enough.'

Even if he is a Titled Douluo, he cannot stop You Chen as he is now.

Even if a Super Douluo takes action, the worst that can happen to You Chen is that he will expose the trump card of the Starlight Incarnation, and he will be able to escape after maneuvering for a while.

At this very moment, we can truly say that the world is ours to visit.

Many of the concerns we had in the past no longer need to be taken too seriously.

It's time to pick up the old business.

However, You Chen did not directly enter Wuhun City again.

Shortly after the first half of his hunting campaign...

As time passed, the news of his massacre of researchers in Wuhun City eventually spread, causing many frightened researchers to flee Wuhun City on their own initiative.

He completely ignored the fact that even if someone was really targeting him, his chances of survival would be much higher under the protection of Wuhun City than if he fled randomly.

Among those who escaped, there were many of You Chen’s targets.

You Chen couldn't figure out whether the people from the Spirit Hall were secretly watching these people. If he acted rashly, he would most likely be traced back and his informant would be caught.

But after such a long time, the Spirit Hall's attention to this group of people who fled will inevitably decrease.

And... they won't have that luxury any time soon.

You Chen spent two months to complete the task of harvesting these fugitives.

Then... a year later, a serial murder case occurred again in Wuhun City.

In the first month after the masked killer reappeared, more than ten people died.

And what’s different from before is that among these deaths, many were killed in extremely cruel ways.

This move is an insult to his personality, and it makes many people feel fearful and indignant at the same time.

The Spirit Hall naturally regarded the criminals' rampant behavior as a provocation and was furious about it.

But in fact... these changes are not because You Chen has any special hobbies, but simply because of the changes in mission conditions, which have caused his execution methods to change.

Regarding the completion conditions and types of tasks, so far, they can be roughly divided into "defeat" type, "humiliation" type, and "attitude change" type.

The additional conditions are generally "expanding the impact (such as the number of onlookers required in Tang San's mission)", "deepening the degree (such as requiring a quick victory, or the degree of trauma inflicted on the opponent while defeating him)", and "other additional task conditions that are completely different from the main task."

In fact, there was no requirement for You Chen to kill the target of the mission.

But most tasks can actually be completed through simple and crude "killing".

Defeating is needless to say, killing is also defeating.

Humiliation, You Chen has tried it before, using very harsh means to physically humiliate, such as directly tearing off the other person's clothes in public, which can also achieve humiliation.

If the target is killed by cruel means, it can also be considered as achieved.

Unless it is a mission like the Jade Anal Mission that requires some special mental humiliation, the mission can basically be easily completed by using violent means.

In fact, in the process of physical humiliation, many mental humiliations can also be achieved at the same time.

The last one is attitude change, which is the more troublesome one among the three conditions.

Because the target of the attitude change is not the "Masked Killer" but "You Chen". So even if You Chen scares the other party to death, if the other party does not know that the source of his fear is You Chen, the mission is not completed.

Therefore, for such targets, You Chen would first forcefully abduct the target, and after confirming that no one else was present, he would reveal his identity before completing the mission. Killing was only a means of dealing with the aftermath.

Of course, some people were estimated to have several tasks recorded in You Chen's notebook, and You Chen would not kill them all at once, but like a cat playing with mouse, he would just scare them at first to complete the task, and then choose to kill them in the end.

Such an unbridled style of behavior will naturally reveal more flaws.

However, Youchen is no longer the same as before.

Even if he only relied on his physical fitness, he could easily and quickly get rid of the Soul Saint.

What's more, as his strength increases, You Chen is no longer hiding like he did in the first few actions a year ago. Once he is besieged by multiple Soul Saints, he will directly escape by possessing his martial spirit.

Why did he try so hard to hide it before, not letting even the slightest bit of his soul power fluctuations leak out, but now he’s not trying so hard to hide it?
In fact, no matter how good the people in the Spirit Hall are at making associations, it is almost impossible for them to imagine that the real identity of the masked killer is You Chen.

You Chen's unnecessary action was only out of caution.

What if Bibi Dong trusted his academic abilities too much and really believed that he could change his fate and possessed the strength of a Soul Sage, and thus confirmed that the masked killer was You Chen and directly set up a dragnet for him? He would have nowhere to escape.

But now, he is no longer so worried about this happening.

Unless a strong man at the Extreme Douluo level takes action, You Chen is confident that he can escape at least once before the ability of the Starlight Incarnation is discovered.

If You Chen's current combat capability is at the Soul Douluo level, then his ability to escape and save his life is at the Super Douluo level!

In order to complete the divine test, Bibi Dong was forced to suppress her soul power until near the finale of the original novel, and could only exert a combat power of level 98 at most.

This also means that You Chen is no longer as weak as Bibi Dong.

With such a small probability and only one chance to save it, if you don't try your best to develop it, then there is no need to talk about any ambition.

When You Chen's stay in Wuhun City was like returning home, it lasted for the second month, and You Chen was finally held back by multiple Soul Douluos.

In this situation, it is impossible for You Chen to hide completely.

Then, everyone in Wuhun City soon realized that the previous estimate of his combat power above Soul Sage could be changed - this guy was definitely a strong man at least at the Soul Douluo level!
Amidst the fierce wind, You Chen successfully escaped before the Titled Douluo from Wuhun City arrived.

Seeing You Chen escape successfully, the cardinals at the top of the Spirit Hall all looked gloomy.

Even though we know You Chen's strength, the current situation will not change much because of this information.

Because before this, just as You Chen thought, they had already dispatched the highest level of encirclement and suppression lineup that could be used under normal circumstances.

Including Juewu Douluo and Ghost Douluo, there are five Titled Douluo elders standing by in Wuhun City at this moment, ready to take down the Masked Killer with lightning speed.

However, the problem was... in their initial expectations, the situation where several cardinals would attack at the same time was already a sure thing, and those law enforcement officers with the strength of Soul Saints were only responsible for delaying the masked killers and waiting for them to arrive.

But reality broke their expectations step by step.

It would be fine if the Soul Saint couldn't stop the masked killer, but these Soul Douluos couldn't delay him for long either!

This means that they can only hope for the last method - wait until the masked killer happens to take action near the Titled Douluo and is discovered!

Because perhaps only a Titled Douluo-level warrior can truly delay and detain the Masked Killer!
Why did such a tricky guy set his sights on the Spirit Hall and the Spirit City! ?

Many of the people in red clothes present had this thought in their minds.

Such a guy with terrifying means and powerful forces has been wandering in Wuhun City for many years. Even if they are not the other party's target, they are still unable to sleep or eat!
At this moment, these high-ranking figures also understood the feelings of the ordinary residents in Wuhun City.
