Douluo: The Peerless King of Beast Tamers

Chapter 216: Long-awaited
On Poseidon Island, the warm sunshine shines on an open meadow surrounded by lush trees and the occasional clear bird calls.

Xuanzi sat at a stone table, which was filled with sumptuous food, the most eye-catching of which were the big, shiny chicken legs.

Xuan Zi took a chicken leg in one hand and took a big bite. The aroma of chicken spread in his mouth instantly. He ate while mumbling, "Si Chen, are you going alone or will I accompany you?"

At this time, Zhou Sichen was standing aside, quietly looking at the sea view in the distance.

He now possesses five rings, and the strength of the five contracted soul beasts is terrifying.

Four of them have reached 50,000 years of cultivation, and the most special one is a 100,000-year-old soul beast.

Top-level soul beasts like the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, the Hell Phoenix, and the Ice Jade Scorpion, even if they have only 50,000 years of cultivation, can compete with ordinary 100,000-year soul beasts with their powerful talents and skills.

This means that Zhou Sichen has acquired strong self-protection capabilities on this Douluo Continent.

The reason why Xuan Zi asked this was because he had a clear understanding of Zhou Sichen's strength.

After all, Xuan Zi would occasionally spar with Zhou Sichen, and he was well aware of the potential and strength of the young man in front of him.

Now, even Yan Shaozhe, whose cultivation level is as high as level 95, would not dare to assert that he would win if he faced Zhou Sichen who was firing on all cylinders.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, Xuanzi and others would feel at ease letting Zhou Sichen go out alone.

Zhou Sichen himself is not the kind of person who likes to show off. Although he has many hidden cards and his strength is unfathomable, he still chooses to wear a vest as the son of Dragon God Douluo.

His idea was very simple, either to dominate the world with absolute strength, or to hide in the dark and develop quietly, everything in the way that suits him best.

Facing Elder Xuan's question, Zhou Sichen turned around, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he said calmly: "I can go by myself. It will only take a week or so. When I bring Xu Jiujiu back, Xiao Tao and the others should have almost finished their meditation practice."

"When the time comes, I will directly take Ling Luochen, Gong Yangmo and the others to obtain the sixth spirit ring, which will not delay either of us."

After hearing this, Xuan Zi picked up the wine gourd on the table and took a sip of wine, then nodded slightly: "It's okay as long as you know what's going on. I won't send you off, old man. Fan Yu asked me to help test the strength of the soul guide."

Zhou Sichen chuckled, a sly look flashing in his eyes: "Master Xuan is a skilled and courageous person, most people don't dare to test it in person, but you are still keen to devote yourself to the front line."

Xuan Zi rolled his eyes at him unhappily and said, "You guys are growing too fast. If I don't make more contributions, I'm afraid we old guys will be useless when you guys become successful in the future."

Zhou Sichen waved his hands quickly, his face full of sincerity: "Don't say that, old man. After all, he is a level 98 Super Douluo. If he were on the mainland, he would be able to tremble the earth with just one stomp of his feet."

After hearing Zhou Sichen's compliments, Xuanzi showed a satisfied smile on his face, laughed and said: "You are still good at talking, hehe, I won't delay you, I'll leave first."

After saying that, he stood up and walked towards Fan Yu's laboratory.

Zhou Sichen did not delay. With a thought, the Book of Contract instantly appeared in his hand. The second soul ring shone with bright light, and hellfire surged out and instantly possessed his body.

A pair of phoenix wings burning with blazing flames spread out from behind him, and the powerful airflow blew the surrounding flowers and plants all over the place.

He rose from the ground, streaked across the sky like a meteor, and flew directly from Poseidon Island towards Xingluo.

The guards of Shrek City were already accustomed to Zhou Sichen's behavior.

Among this younger generation, apart from this extremely talented little demon, few people dare to fly over Shrek City so ostentatiously.

Zhou Sichen's figure gradually disappeared into the sky, leaving only a faint trail of fire.

Two days passed in a flash. The soft sunlight poured down on the majestic and magnificent palace of the Xing Luo Empire. The glazed tiles reflected the dazzling light, showing the majesty and luxury of the royal family.

Zhou Sichen has been in the palace for a long time at this moment.

After he entered Xingluo City, he used the remote communicator to communicate for a long time and had a smooth journey.

Xu Jiujiu was sitting in front of the window at this time, holding an ancient book in his hands and reading it attentively.

Noticing someone coming in, she subconsciously raised her head. The moment she saw Zhou Sichen, a hint of confusion flashed across her face, which was then replaced by surprise.

She put down the book in her hand, stood up, her eyes full of curiosity, and said, "Tell me, what is it that makes you come here in person?"

It’s only been more than half a month since the end of the competition. I had long expected that it would take a long time before I could see this mysterious guy again.

However, she didn't expect that just a few days later, Zhou Sichen appeared in front of her again, which really surprised her.

Zhou Sichen looked calm. He found a seat and sat down calmly. Then he told Xu Jiujiu in detail about the idea of ​​the three martial soul fusion technique.

She listened quietly for a long time. As Zhou Sichen spoke, her brows gradually furrowed, and she secretly pondered the feasibility of this idea.

"Si Chen, forgive me for being blunt," Xu Jiujiu sighed softly, with a bit of worry in his tone: "This is just your idea after all. Whether it can work is still an unknown. Martial Soul Fusion Techniques are extremely rare, let alone Three Martial Soul Fusion Techniques. You can imagine how difficult it is."

Zhou Sichen understood Xu Jiujiu's thoughts and was about to appeal to her emotions and reason in an attempt to persuade her, but she heard Xu Jiujiu change the subject and continue, "But I can go to Shrek Academy."

Zhou Sichen smiled when he heard this and said, "That's good. I thought you wouldn't go."

Xu Jiujiu also smiled gently, with a gleam of intelligence in his eyes, and explained: "After all, you also said that my brother is still in his prime, and I am not in a hurry to help him share the heavy responsibility for the time being."

"Right now, I should really focus on cultivation. Shrek Academy is the number one academy on the continent. Even if your idea doesn't work, I can still study at Shrek Academy for a while, so it won't be a loss at all."

Xu Jiujiu’s idea was actually very simple. Ever since she witnessed Zhou Sichen’s terrifying talent, she knew that this guy had unlimited potential.

As long as they follow Zhou Sichen closely, the efforts made by the Xingluo Empire will never be in vain.

Moreover, deep in her heart, she was full of yearning for the legendary No. 1 College on the continent, and was eager to experience the rich academic atmosphere and strong faculty there in person.

In her opinion, no matter from which angle you consider it, going to Shrek Academy is a hundred-sided benefit with no harm, so going there would be the best option.

Zhou Sichen nodded, agreeing with Xu Jiujiu's idea, and said, "Then let's go and discuss it with His Majesty. After all, you are the princess of Xing Luo. If you want to go to Shrek Academy, you need his approval to follow the rules."

Xu Jiujiu stood up without hesitation, straightened his clothes, and said, "Let's go, my brother should have left the court by now."

The two walked out of the palace side by side and along the winding corridor. Along the way, the breeze blew gently, bringing bursts of floral fragrance.

Soon, they arrived at the Imperial Garden.

In the imperial garden, there are blooming flowers and green grass. Xu Jiawei is walking leisurely in the garden with his hands behind his back.

Xu Jiujiu walked up quickly and said respectfully, "Royal brother."

Xu Jiawei turned around and saw Zhou Sichen and Xu Jiujiu, with a gentle smile on his face. Zhou Sichen stepped forward and repeated the whole story to Xu Jiawei in detail.

Xu Jiawei listened quietly, without any hesitation, and nodded in agreement: "I was just thinking about how to send Jiujiu to Shrek, and I didn't expect you to come now. It seems that we are quite in tune with each other."

Zhou Sichen was not surprised by Xu Jiawei's reaction. After all, the cooperation between Xingluo Empire and Shrek Academy had been decided, and this matter would be of great benefit to both parties.

He smiled and said, "So I have another idea."

Xu Jiawei smiled wisely, as if he had already guessed what Zhou Sichen was going to say, and said directly: "Let Jiujiu go to Shrek Academy in the name of the royal family. Not only does this news not need to be concealed, it can even be secretly publicized. Am I right?"

Xu Jiawei's words made Zhou Sichen couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praised: "Your Majesty is worthy of being the ruler of a country. It seems that Your Majesty has already thought of all the problems I can think of."

Xu Jiawei smiled modestly, waved his hand and said: "Since Xingluo has decided to cooperate with Shrek, it will naturally think of what you think."

"Letting Jiujiu go to Shrek Academy in the name of the royal family can not only show our importance to Shrek Academy, but also take advantage of this opportunity to further enhance the influence of the Xingluo Empire on the mainland."

He paused for a moment, looked into the distance, and continued, "When the time comes, I will have the example of Xingluo Pearls and Jade, breaking the Shrek's ten-thousand-year rule of being alone and self-sufficient. In the future, there will definitely be some reaction between the Douling and Tianhun countries."

"They will definitely pay close attention to this matter. After weighing the pros and cons, they may follow our example and cooperate with Shrek Academy."

Xu Jiujiu also added: "I believe that after they know your talent and strength, with Xingluo as the first shot, they will definitely be attracted by your strength after weighing the pros and cons. After all, no one wants to fall behind in this competition."

The three of them talked one after another and had an in-depth discussion on the future blueprint for cooperation. Bursts of laughter could be heard from the Imperial Garden from time to time, as if foreshadowing the bright prospects for cooperation between the Star Luo Empire and Shrek Academy.

Zhou Sichen picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea. The fragrance of the tea spread on his tongue. He looked calm and said slowly, "Then Sichen would like to thank His Majesty and the Princess."

Jiawei looked at the young couple in front of him, his eyes revealing a bit of amusement and expectation. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said jokingly with a smile: "You and Jiujiu are already engaged, why are you calling them Your Majesty or Princess? It's so awkward!"

When Xu Jiujiu heard this, a blush instantly appeared on her face, as beautiful and charming as the peach blossoms blooming in spring.

She was a little embarrassed, lowered her head, and said nothing. She just subconsciously picked up the teacup and sipped the tea gently, trying to hide her shyness.

Zhou Sichen was slightly stunned at first, then he understood and laughed. His hearty laughter echoed in the imperial study: "Brother, brother."

Xu Jiawei smiled with satisfaction, nodded, and said earnestly: "Although you are still young, the spirit master world has always respected strength. I hope that when you really achieve that step in the future, you will not forget our Xingluo's efforts."

Zhou Sichen looked determined, smiled back, and looked at Xu Jiawei calmly: "This is natural."

Xu Jiawei didn't say much. He looked at the time and said, "I have a meeting later, so I won't talk to you any more. You can leave anytime when you are ready. I will issue the document tomorrow."

His words seemed simple, but they actually contained a deep meaning, which was that he wanted Zhou Sichen and Xu Jiujiuduo to be alone together.

After all, in his opinion, it would be enough to arrange a team to send the "princess" over. After all, no one dared to check the princess's carriage.

Zhou Sichen understood Xu Jiawei's intention instantly, and said with understanding: "Then Jiujiu and I will not disturb you, brother."

After saying this, Zhou Sichen politely said goodbye to Xu Jiawei, and then left the imperial study with Xu Jiujiu.

Xu Jiawei looked at the backs of the two as they left, his heart full of anticipation. He really hoped that his sister could develop real feelings for Zhou Sichen, so that she could be truly bound to this extremely talented little demon.

After Zhou Sichen and Xu Jiujiu left the imperial study, they walked side by side on the corridor of the palace.

The sunlight shines through the carved window frames, casting mottled shadows and giving their figures a golden edge.

The two of them talked in low voices, their laughter echoing in the corridor from time to time, and soon they arrived at Xu Jiujiu's bedroom.

The journey to Shrek is long, and we will not be back until the end of the semester, so there are many things that need to be prepared.

Zhou Sichen stood aside like a gentleman, waiting patiently.

Xu Jiujiu was busy moving around the room, sometimes sorting clothes, sometimes selecting books, and from time to time asking Zhou Sichen for advice.

After packing up the things, Xu Jiujiu stood up, stared at Zhou Sichen, with curiosity flashing in his eyes, and said playfully: "I don't think I have ever ridden in your car. The journey to Shrek is long, why don't you take me with you to try it?"

Zhou Sichen did not refuse and replied with a smile: "Of course no problem, but the Hellfire is a soul beast, it is not good to expose it to the eyes of civilians, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble, so we have to wait until there is no one around."

Xu Jiujiu smiled and said nonchalantly: "It's a small problem. I am at least a level 5 soul guide and I am very familiar with flying soul guides. It won't be too late to wait until there is no one to sit down."

As Princess Xingluo, Xu Jiujiu is thoughtful and intelligent, so she naturally understands the good intentions of her royal brother Xu Jiawei.

When she thought about being alone with Zhou Sichen in the next few days, an indescribable anticipation surged in her heart.

This expectation, like a new bud breaking through the soil in spring, grew wildly in her heart.

And she was also very curious about Zhou Sichen's contracted soul beasts.

Ever since she witnessed the strength displayed by Zhou Sichen, those mysterious contracted soul beasts have appeared in her mind from time to time like phantoms in the fog.

Will soul beasts really be obedient?

As her thoughts flowed, the scene of Zhou Sichen showing his soul ring in front of everyone that day once again clearly appeared in her mind.

She was also very curious about how powerful Zhou Sichen's contracted soul beasts were.

Thinking of this, the exaggerated configuration of five soul rings on Zhou Sichen's body that day, three black, one red and one black, once again came to mind.

Thinking of the 100,000-year soul beast embryo given to Zhou Sichen, Xu Jiujiu was even more looking forward to the scene of Zhou Sichen absorbing another 100,000-year soul ring when he reached the sixth ring.

Such a genius is really a perfect match for her!

However, there was a hint of worry in Xu Jiujiu's heart.

Zhou Sichen is surrounded by beautiful women, each of whom is outstanding and each one seems to be no worse than her.

Thinking of this, Xu Jiujiu felt uncomfortable and annoyed.

Although she understood that in the soul master world, it was common for excellent soul masters to be surrounded by many opposite sexes, and she could barely accept it, but who wouldn't want to monopolize this beauty?

Who doesn’t want to be the one and only person in Zhou Sichen’s heart?

This contradictory feeling was intertwined in her heart, making her both looking forward to and somewhat nervous about her future relationship with Zhou Sichen.
