Douluo: Reincarnation of Leosli, punishing the evildoers

In the quiet wooden bedroom behind Shrek Academy, a heavy atmosphere hung in the air. Sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating the bed and revealing Yu Xiaogang lying there, his face pale. His eyes were closed, his eye sockets sunken, like a silent wilderness, as if even his breathing seemed pitifully weak.

Beside him, Flander, who had already broken through to the Soul Douluo level, appeared radiant, his rosy cheeks enviable. However, a faint sadness lingered in his deeply affectionate eyes. He whispered his thanks to the old woman busy tending to him, then quietly stepped out of the wooden house, as if taking away a heavy burden from the tranquility.

Sitting on the stone bench outside, Liu Erlong, who had also broken through to the Soul Douluo level, looked increasingly youthful and energetic. She raised an eyebrow slightly and asked calmly, "How is it?" Her voice was like a gentle autumn breeze, soft yet full of concern.

Flanders simply shook his head slightly, the words swirling in his throat but unable to escape.

It doesn't matter whether Tang San lives or dies; it would be better if he did. Now that the continent is unified and there are no more wars, those students from the academies are actually doing even better.

It's just a pity about his disciple.

It's fortunate that Dai Mubai started the war, and he's still alive, ending up imprisoned along with Ma Hongjun.

"There's nothing we can do. Tang San's death is a huge blow to Xiao Gang."

Liu Erlong shook her head. To be honest, she herself looked down on Tang San now. They, as ordinary people, had also heard about the war. Tang San was truly a scoundrel.

The double standards are a bit excessive.

But what can you do when Yu Xiaogang treats him like a treasure?
Flander sighed deeply, his gaze passing over Liu Erlong and looking towards the undulating mountains in the distance. He said in a deep voice, "Xiao Gang's knot in his heart is still Tang San. Even though Tang San did those things, he still can't let go of it."

Liu Erlong snorted coldly, her grip on the teacup making a creaking sound: "Tang San is a man of deep thoughts and ruthless actions, he doesn't deserve to be his disciple at all! But... Xiao Gang just insists on having him!"

Flander shook his head and said helplessly, "Over the years, Xiao Gang has placed all his hopes on Tang San. Now that Tang San is dead, his heart has died with him. All we can do is stay by his side so that he won't be too lonely."

Liu Erlong was silent for a moment, then suddenly stood up, her tone resolute: "I'm going to find Xue Qinghe! He's now the emperor of the Douluo Empire, with immense power. If he's willing to intervene, perhaps he can help Yu Xiaogang recover!"

Flander quickly pulled her back, frowning as he said, "Erlong, don't be impulsive! Xue Qinghe is the emperor now, how can he have time to care about such trivial matters? Besides, you know Xiaogang's personality, he doesn't like to accept other people's pity."

Liu Erlong shook off his hand, a flash of anger in her eyes: "Are you just going to watch him sink into despair like this? Flander, are you really willing to accept that?"

Flander remained silent for a long time before finally sighing, "Let's wait and see. Perhaps... time will heal all wounds."

Flander's gaze returned to the cabin. Through the half-open window, he saw Yu Xiaogang still lying there peacefully, as if the outside world was irrelevant to him. Liu Erlong followed his gaze, her fists clenched tightly, her knuckles white. She gritted her teeth and whispered, "I'm not reconciled... I'm really not reconciled!"

Flander withdrew his gaze, gently patted Liu Erlong's shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Erlong, we all feel sorry for Xiaogang, but all we can do now is wait. Forcing our way in will only make things worse."

Liu Erlong turned around abruptly, tears welling in her eyes: "But...but he's been like this for so long! I'm afraid...I'm afraid he'll be stuck in this forever and never be able to get out!"

Flander's expression also turned serious, but he remained calm: "Erlong, we need to give Xiaogang time. His wounds won't heal in a short time. The only thing we can do is stay with him, support him, until he's willing to come out of this on his own."

Liu Erlong lowered her head, tears silently streaming down her face, dripping onto the stone slab beneath her feet. She wiped away her tears with her sleeve, took a deep breath, and forced herself to calm down: "You're right...maybe I was too hasty."

"Erlong, let's go!" Flander smiled slightly. Seeing that Liu Erlong didn't speak, he stepped forward gently, his eyes sparkling with anticipation. "The Soul Master Competition is about to begin, and our academy must prepare well!"

"Hmm!" Liu Erlong finally realized what was happening, nodded, and felt a glimmer of anticipation in her heart. She then turned and left with Flander.

Time flies like an arrow, and before we knew it, the end of March arrived, and the exciting new All-Continent Soul Master Tournament was officially announced.

······
“Alas, it’s too late now, there’s no point in doing anything about it.” Ning Fengzhi shook his head slightly and continued, “Without a doubt, Xue Qinghe invited us over here to reorganize the Soul Master forces on the continent. At the very least, he’ll ask us to hand over the Soul Master roster.”

"There's nothing we can do, Fengzhi. The disciples we sent out haven't found any of the gods' relics yet."

Over the years, they have thought about finding a way to become gods, but the ocean is vast and they don't have a compass to guide them. How can they find it?
Ning Fengzhi stood up, walked to the window, and gazed at the bustling streets of Tiandou City in the distance, his brows furrowed: "The ruins of gods are not so easy to find, especially without any clues. Although our disciples have been dispatched all over the country, we have found nothing so far."

Chen Xin stepped forward, patted Ning Fengzhi on the shoulder, and comforted him, "Fengzhi, don't be too anxious. Perhaps it's just not the right time yet. As long as we continue to work hard, we will eventually reap the rewards."

Ning Fengzhi sighed and turned to face Chen Xin: "Uncle Jian, what you said makes sense, but I have a bad feeling. Xue Qinghe's ambition is far more than this. Her gathering of various forces this time is probably not just about getting us to hand over the list of Soul Masters."

Chen Xin nodded in agreement: "Indeed, Xue Qinghe's methods have always been sophisticated. She will not let go of any opportunity to strengthen her rule. We must make full preparations in case of any unforeseen circumstances."

A few days later, in the main hall of the palace, a majestic and solemn atmosphere permeated the air. High-ranking officials from various forces gathered here, their faces solemn and their expressions dignified.

Although the theme of the meeting was simple and clear, its importance could not be underestimated. From now on, all Soul Master forces on the Douluo Continent must truthfully report the relevant information of their Soul Masters to the Spirit Hall, covering many details such as name, age, Martial Soul, realm, and source of Soul Rings.

At the same time, discussions began regarding relocating the capital.

With the unification of the mainland, the original capital can no longer be used.

Then comes setting the rules.

In the past, when the sects and nobles were powerful, conflicts would occur even in the city, and the government could not intervene. Not only would people be killed or injured, but many civilians would also be implicated.

According to statistics from Leosley's hospital, the number of civilians affected by Soul Masters' Soul Skills without cause used to be in the double digits every day.

This is just Tiandou City; there must be many more in other cities as well.

There's no way around it; those with good martial spirits usually join sects. When the powerful members of a sect fight, how can the people in this city not suffer?
In addition, there were private feuds among various noble families, which made life unbearable for ordinary people and resulted in extremely poor public security in the city.

Therefore, Xue Qinghe's purpose in gathering all forces this time was very simple: to restore order.

The first problem to be solved is the conflict between sects and nobles.

She didn't care how they made trouble before, but now that she's the emperor of the Douluo Empire, she has to care.

Moreover, it's the kind of thing that absolutely must be managed, and managed thoroughly.

You won't listen, fine!
Close the door and release the Duke.

Faced with Duke Leosley's intimidating presence, Ning Fengzhi and his group naturally dared not disregard the city's rules and commit acts of violence as they had done before.

At the same time, the Douluo Empire also established a "Soul Master Management Division" to specifically resolve Soul Master disputes.

The Soul Master Management Division aims to maintain the healthy development and stable order of the Soul Master profession, ensuring that every Soul Master can grow up in a legal and compliant environment. At the same time, it serves as a bridge between Soul Masters and the government, helping the nation better manage and supervise the Soul Master community.

As for the Spirit Hall, although Xue Qinghe didn't cause them any trouble, they still got a beating.

There's no way around it. The Spirit Hall used to be too strong and too domineering. Now, the Douluo Empire wants to take a share of the pie from the Spirit Hall. Isn't that just asking for a beating?

However, the Douluo Empire of today is no longer the weak empire it once was. Faced with a stronger opponent than before, it can only choose to endure.

"It seems we have no choice but to go with the flow."

Chen Xin nodded, his expression solemn.

Seeing this, Bibi Dong completely relinquished power. Since the Qian family didn't want the position of Pope, she would give it to Hu Liena. Since they couldn't ascend to the God Realm now, she would go find it herself.

And what about Leosley and Siegwen?

Now I can finally have some free time.

Leosley stretched, his gaze sweeping across the bustling street. "Finally, I can breathe a sigh of relief."

Higewen tidied the herbs in her hands and looked up at Leosley.

"Yes, we've been incredibly busy lately. But now it's good that we can finally get some rest."

Leosley chuckled softly, a hint of amusement in his eyes: "Rest? I think we should be paying more attention to our surroundings at this time."

Higewen looked at Leosley with a puzzled expression.

"What's wrong? Didn't you say everything was settled?"

Leosley shook his head, his expression slightly serious.

"That's how it appears on the surface, but the world is vast, and people's hearts are unpredictable. Although Xue Qinghe has ascended the throne, those hidden forces may not necessarily stop there."

Higewen nodded thoughtfully.

Leosley turned his gaze to the distant tower, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"Why not take this opportunity to travel around and see what this newly formed empire is really like?"

Higewen chuckled as she packed her things.

"That's fine, I haven't left this city in a long time either."

The two walked side by side through the bustling market. Street vendors were busy at work, and the faces of the people were filled with long-lost smiles. Leosley carefully observed the surrounding scene, occasionally striking up conversations with roadside vendors to inquire about recent changes.

“Things have been much better lately,” an old woman selling fruit said with a smile. “Without the oppression of those nobles, business has been much smoother.”

"It's clear that everyone is very happy."

The old woman smiled and handed over a freshly washed apple: "Here, have an apple. That new emperor is really something; he's finally made our lives decent."

Leosley took the apple and thanked him with a smile.

"It seems that the future of Heavenly Dou City is indeed bright."

The two continued walking, when a cheer erupted from the end of the street. A group of children, clutching their newly issued textbooks, ran excitedly towards the newly built school. Leosley stopped and watched them go, a rare gentleness appearing on his face.

"Even under the light, shadows always lurk. Xiaoxue's methods are indeed brilliant, but whether she can truly control this continent remains to be seen."

"Master."

Not far away, Shui Bing'er and Zhu Zhuqing were already waiting there.

Leosley stepped forward and said with a light laugh, "What brings you two here?"

“Master, Zhu Qing and I just returned from Jialing Pass. The area has been thoroughly cleared out.” Shui Bing’er nodded slightly.

"Okay, I understand. Let's go, let's go outside the city first."

The three left Tiandou City and headed west.

A few days later, the three arrived near a small town. In the distance, they could see several open spaces surrounded by barbed wire fences, and they could vaguely see people busily working inside.

Leosley led the two women closer and found that there were many simple wooden houses standing in the open space, filled with people in tattered clothes.

Most of them were commoners persecuted by nobles and soul masters, while others were migrants from other towns. Among them, some were young, while others were already old and frail, but without exception, their eyes shone with anticipation for a new life.

“Master, this is…” A hint of doubt flashed in Zhu Zhuqing’s eyes.

"This is my arrangement."

Leosley said slowly, "Although order has begun to be restored near Tiandou City, the number of refugees in other places is still increasing. I cannot stand by and watch people be displaced, so I built a few simple settlements outside the city to give them a place to shelter from the wind and rain for the time being."

He paused, then continued, "As for the follow-up arrangements, I have already suggested to Xiaoxue that we build a new town in the west of the city specifically to resettle these refugees. At that time, there will be specialists to guide them on how to make a living and create a new future for them."

"Master's idea is excellent!"

"Yes, this is a great thing that benefits the people!"

Just then, he heard footsteps behind him. Leosley turned around and saw a group of simply dressed villagers walking towards him.

When the villagers saw Leosley and his two companions, their eyes showed a hint of surprise and respect, and they all stepped forward to bow in greeting.

Leosley smiled and nodded at them, his gaze drifting to the busy crowd in the open space.

"Most of these refugees migrated from nearby villages, and many of them used to be villagers here."

Upon hearing this, Leosley looked at the villagers and asked, "How are they? Have they encountered any difficulties?"

The villager in the lead looked up, his eyes shining with gratitude: "Reporting to you, sir, they are all well and have not suffered any more injustices."

He paused, then added, "Life here has been much better lately. Those nobles and soul masters who used to bully us don't dare to act recklessly anymore. I heard it's a new rule established by the emperor in the city, which forces those people to follow it as well."

"Some people say that the new emperor is particularly powerful and has dealt with all the old noble forces. Now we common people finally have something to look forward to."

They traveled to many places, and along the way, Leosley saw and heard the same things.

Although people's lives are still difficult, they are much better than the unbearable days of the past.

"Head Nurse, it seems our 'mission' is now completely over."

"Task?"

"To bring true justice to this continent!" (End of Chapter)
