Douluo Continent II: You're an evil spirit master, but also a philanthropist?

"..."

The atmosphere became slightly awkward.

Xu Cheng coughed twice, dropping his pretentious and empty rhetoric.

"Aunt Qing, I wonder if there's any progress on the person I asked you to inquire about?"

"Not for now..."

Upon hearing this, Huo Qing said apologetically.

"I used my connections in the military to inquire about the orange you mentioned. She is about eleven or twelve years old and her martial soul is Orange. But until now, there is not a single clue. We haven't even found a little girl with the martial soul Orange."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Xu Cheng nodded slightly.

The original work only mentions that Orange was born in a small border town of the Sun Moon Empire. Her father was a chef who was drafted into the army and died on the battlefield, leaving her to wander...

There is simply too little information. After all, the entire border area of ​​the Sun Moon Empire, which borders the Star Luo Empire, is extremely vast, spanning at least several thousand kilometers.

Trying to find someone among them is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Of course, in the end, Huo Qing's influence was still somewhat low. If it were a level nine soul master like Huo Feng, the success rate would definitely be much higher.

Xu Cheng pondered for a moment.

Two o'clock.

First, it will enhance Huo Qing's strength. As long as he advances to the ninth level of Soul Master, even if he doesn't replace Huo Feng, his status and position will at least be further improved, and his influence on the Huo Feng Soul Master Group will inevitably continue to expand.

Second, win over Fire Phoenix. If this level nine soul master is willing to stand on Xu Cheng's side, then the entire Fire Phoenix soul master group will be won over, but the difficulty of this is self-evident.

None of the four beast-type Soul Master Corps would easily get involved in the struggle for succession.

In the original work, Fire Phoenix is ​​portrayed as an extremely neutral character, only discussing military matters and not politics...

After a long silence, Xu Cheng spoke again.

"Aunt Qing, how are you doing? How long will it take if you want to break through to the ninth level Soul Master?"

"More than fifty years..."

Huo Qing said bitterly.

"Even this is an optimistic view. Normally, I'm afraid I'll never be able to break through in my lifetime."

"Is it because you can't advance to the Title Douluo level?"

Xu Cheng remained expressionless and asked softly.

"Yes, breaking through to the Soul Douluo level almost exhausted my potential, and I also took a lot of drugs beforehand, which caused my soul power to become unstable. If it weren't for the continuous battles in recent years that forcibly compressed this unstable soul power, I'm afraid I would have..."

Huo Qingdao.

"So and so."

Xu Cheng nodded slightly, as expected.

In his opinion, Aunt Qing had good talent, but in the past few years, in order to gain merit, or rather for herself, she urgently took pills to enhance her soul power. Although the results were not bad, she also cut off her own path.

To reach the eighth level of Soul Master at just over thirty years old speaks volumes about his talent...

However, this situation is not unsolvable.

In the original work, when a Soul Master cultivates their Soul Power to a certain level, it will change from a liquid state to a solid state. After the form change, they will reach the bottleneck of level 90 and then obtain a Soul Ring in order to be considered a Title Douluo.

The reason why it is difficult for a Title Douluo to cultivate is that, compared to a liquid state, the flow of soul power is slower in a solid state. To mobilize soul power, one must pulverize it and then mobilize it in a granular form.

As for Super Douluo, their soul power exists in gaseous, liquid, and solid states simultaneously, which they can freely manipulate to unleash even greater power...

It's also a classic example of physics by the three young masters (doge).

Back to the topic.

The desire to condense a soul core has blocked the vast majority of Soul Douluos, and countless Soul Masters have been unable to achieve it through their own power.

However, in the original work, there is a way.

Since it cannot be achieved by oneself, external forces can be used.

For example, Xuan Ziwen.

With the help of some powerful individuals from Shrek Academy, he successfully condensed his soul core and achieved the status of a level nine soul master.

More importantly, Aunt Qing is not a traditional Soul Master who relies heavily on her Martial Soul. Instead, she is a modern, new type of Soul Master, or, in the words of the Sun Moon Empire, a Soul Guidance System with actual control.

Like Nana, her own martial soul is more of a support skill, and she mainly relies on her soul tool for output.

Is your soul power weak and unstable?

Is it important?

Will it prevent me from firing?

Will it affect my ability to wield a melee soul tool and attack people?

As for the strong...

joke.

His Holy Spirit Church's Holy Son, Cheng Baiqing's disciple, and Jing Hongchen's favored student, it's impossible for him to lack people!

The Holy Spirit Cult may be poor, but it has a wealth of experts.

He was confident that it wouldn't be impossible for him to summon Wu Yun, Zhang Peng, Feng Ling, or even Zhong Liwu, the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult.

Speaking of the Holy Spirit Church.

Of the twelve honorees, he was acquainted with five of them and had a good relationship with all of them.

However, he was slightly less effective with the eight elders.

The Holy Spirit Cult is not as stable as outsiders perceive it to be. It is merely that there are two powerful figures above it, forcing a group of outsiders who are eager to kill to obey.

Think about it carefully: can a group of notorious evil spirit masters who kill at the slightest provocation and whose blood debts could fill the ranks of officials in the capital be united and loving as one family?

What about dreaming?

There are also factions among evil spirit masters.

The eight elders, sharing the same wicked ways, got together to run a shady business.

The higher-ranking worshippers are quite aloof, always fighting alone and never in groups.

Zhongli Wu was keen on cultivating talent and developing it in a sneaky way. Although Feng Ling was his wife, they were not on the same page and secretly harbored feelings for Yan Shaozhe.

The old dragon king licked the goddess he had only slept with once in his entire life, and he never tired of it. Ye Xishui said that we were actually going in the same direction, and that we were playing a big game behind the scenes.

Therefore, it seems that Xu Cheng has a very high chance of winning the bid for the throne.

But in reality, just as Elder Cheng said, the Holy Spirit Cult is a double-edged sword, and he, the Holy Son, is most likely just a pawn in Ye Xishui's game.

The fact that they allowed him to engage in "charity" activities within the Holy Spirit Cult was simply because they valued his importance.

The Holy Son of the Holy Spirit Cult, who is also the Emperor of the Sun Moon Empire, is extremely beneficial to the entire Holy Spirit Cult. However, whether Xu Cheng is a pawn in Ye Xishui's hands or jumps out of the game to become the player depends on the strength of the cards Xu Cheng holds...

This is also why he was so eager to improve Huo Qing's strength.

His current power base is somewhat hollow; it appears prosperous, but he doesn't have many true "insiders"...

A level nine Soul Master is stronger than an ordinary Title Douluo because their strength does not come from their own Martial Soul, but from the Soul Guidance Device they are equipped with.

If Mirror Red Dust were available, or if Elder Cheng were to provide a top-tier level nine soul tool, Huo Qing's combat strength could probably leap to the level of a Super Douluo...

Furthermore, the strength of a Soul Master lies not in individual combat, but in team battles.

The entire Fire Phoenix Soul Master Corps mobilized, and even Xuanzi had to back down.

"Don't worry, Aunt Qing, leave your breakthrough to me."

Xu Cheng smiled.

"I can ask several Super Douluo to help you condense your soul core."

Chapter 40 Your Highness, you found an orange?

"Okay, Aunt Qing will be waiting for your news..."

Huo Qing said with relief.

"By the way, Xiao Cheng, do you need me to introduce you to our Soul Master Corps Leader? Her camp isn't too far away."

"..."

After a moment's hesitation, Xu Cheng shook his head.

"No need, Aunt Qing. She holds a high position, and her biggest concern right now is getting involved in the succession struggle. If she goes there rashly, it will only offend that person..."

Unless the other party comes to him on their own initiative, Xu Cheng will never make a fool of himself.

"This...is something I didn't consider carefully."

Huo Qing looked at Xu Cheng, a hint of relief in her beautiful eyes.

This child is decisive, responsible, and has the makings of a wise leader. Aya can rest in peace now...
