Douluo Continent: Kunxu Descends, Second-Player Players Are Stunned

"puff!"

He spat out a mouthful of blood, and Tang Xun's calf twitched, gradually making him unable to stand steadily.

Ning Zhiping, who was standing nearby, quickly helped him up to prevent his old friend from making a fool of himself.

Unexpectedly, Qian Xunji showed no martial ethics, chasing after Tang Xun and beating him mercilessly: "Oh, so this traitor knows shame now? Trying to feign unconsciousness to avoid ridicule? I've seen this kind of thing all the time in my relatives' backyard! Feigning unconsciousness and spitting blood to find a powerful backer—a concubine's essential survival skill!"

Nima!

Being compared to a concubine, Tang Xun couldn't catch his breath and fainted from anger.

Qian Xunji stepped forward, checked Tang Xun's breath, and after confirming that Tang Xun hadn't died of anger, he slapped Lao Deng's face twice, leaving clear five-finger marks, one on the left and one on the right, perfectly symmetrical.

"Pretending? I've seen plenty of your little tricks!"

Despite being slapped ten times, Old Deng still pretended to be dead.

Some people felt sorry for the fight and wanted to break it up.

Qian Xunji quickly pinched Tang Xun's philtrum hard: "Stop pretending!"

So, under everyone's watchful eyes, Tang Xun slightly moved his arm.

This action is very subtle, and generally no one would notice this detail.

However, the lowest level of cultivation among those attending this meeting was Soul Emperor, so this little trick naturally did not escape their notice.

Yu Yuanzhen pursed his lips, unsure how to comment.

If you can't win an argument, pretend to faint.

This is really... the behavior of a concubine!

With the perception of a god-king, Qian Xunji naturally noticed Lao Deng's actions and couldn't help but feel a little smug—Lao Deng was definitely unconscious the moment he fell to the ground. It was just that his powerful inner energy was too strong, forcibly restarting Lao Deng.

But what should we do next?

Recalling the short dramas her mother had watched, Qian Xunji stood up and shouted:

"Martial Soul Possession!"

A six-winged angel emerged from behind him, spreading its holy wings, with yellow, purple, black, and dark-colored spirit rings floating up and down.

"Soul Skill, Angelic Holy Sword!"

A black spirit ring flashed, and the light in the room instantly distorted, forming a golden longsword engulfed in flames.

"I've heard that people can suddenly wake up after being stimulated by external forces. In order to heal Elder Tang, I had no choice but to painfully sever one of his arms!"

As he spoke, Qian Xunji twirled his sword and slashed at Lao Deng's arm in a simple and unadorned manner.

Tang Xun was so frightened that he rolled over, no longer daring to pretend to be unconscious. All the courage in his body turned into a shrill scream: "Your Holiness, wait!"

"You're awake!" Qian Xunji decisively dispelled his soul skill and chatted and laughed with everyone. "The method I read about in the ancient book is effective."

Where did this ancient book of demons come from...?

The crowd remained silent, but dared not refute, fearing that the new pope might also give them a taste of his own medicine.

This is the newly crowned billionaire debtor!

You mustn't hit them! You mustn't hurt them! You mustn't touch them!

Tang Xun's face turned pale, but he had to force a fawning smile: "Your Holiness the Pope is truly a miracle worker, I am eternally grateful."

"No need for such empty words, just pay me the consultation fee." Qian Xunji stretched out his hand, his nonchalant attitude leaving everyone present stunned.

To describe taking advantage of someone's misfortune in such a refined and elegant way is truly something I've never seen before!

Tang Xun took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and took out a gold soul coin card worth 100,000 from his soul tool.

"Your Majesty, this is just a small token of my appreciation, please accept it!"

"Elder Tang, you're too kind."

Having made money, Qian Xunji took a deep breath, a look of ecstasy on his face, as if the turbid air of the evil Haotian Sect had been purified in an instant.

Fearing that Tang Xun might get sick from anger, Ning Zhiping quickly tried to smooth things over: "Since His Holiness the Pope doesn't intend to participate in the orc training program, let's discuss the conditions for issuing the 'Soul Beast Transformation Qualification Certificate' first! His Holiness the Pope is extremely busy; there's no need to waste time on trivial matters in the meeting."

Only after getting rid of this plague can they feel at ease discussing the orc breeding plan.

Qian Xunji's scheme to sow discord was very successful, but he was still too young.

As long as the nine major forces collude and each takes a small share, and the greed is evenly distributed, no one will be dissatisfied with acquiring cultivation resources at a low price.

"Alright." As a top-notch scholar of divination, Qian Xunji was fully aware of these people's thoughts, but he simply chose not to reveal them.

His current persona is "the new Pope of the Spirit Hall, a 33-year-old Soul Douluo," who is intelligent, easygoing, and a bit of a naive young man.

The representative of the Heaven Dou Empire was Crown Prince Xue Ye. Qian Xunji looked at him and said, "I intend to exchange a genius with innate full soul power for Han Hai City. What are your thoughts?"

"Is the Pope joking with me?"

Xue Ye remembered that a genius with innate full soul power was worth at least 200 million gold soul coins, and the territory of Hanhai City was worth at most 20 million gold soul coins. Even if Qian Xunji did not know the market price, the Spirit Hall could not possibly agree to this unprofitable deal.

Ning Zhiping: "Your Holiness, this level of transaction requires the approval of the Elders' Hall. You must know that, right?"

"Huh?" Chihiro's smile vanished.

If it required approval from the Elders' Hall, given Bibi Dong's father's personality, she would definitely be kept in the Spirit Hall and become a key figure in his training.

What's the difference between this and killing him?

This time, even Yu Yuanzhen, who was a bit slow on the uptake, sensed something was amiss.

"Your Holiness, do you not particularly like that child?"

"Yes!" Now that things had come to this, Qian Xunji simply adopted the posture of a tyrant, his indifferent temperament seemingly indicating "those who obey me prosper, those who oppose me perish," and his tone also showed a bit more impatience.

"That brat has repeatedly ruded me; I find her utterly repulsive! Since she doesn't know her place, I'll trade her for seafood!"

What the hell is this seafood?!

Although the reason was absurd, the spokesperson was Qian Xunji, and everyone strangely thought it was reasonable.

How could someone who claims that a "Soul Beast Transformation Certificate" has an expiration date be a good person?

This is clearly a born exploiter!

He is the holy son of the Great Way of Exploitation!

To increase credibility, Qian Xunji continued to deceive them: "Father always laments that the Qian family is small. I've heard that whale glue is a great tonic that can restore a seventy-year-old's vigor. Father hopes that I can break through to the Title Douluo level before I turn forty, so the heavy responsibility of continuing the Qian family line falls on Father's shoulders."

Extreme exploitation, simply unbeatable!

At this moment, Ning Zhiping, who had been immersed in the path of exploitation for many years, felt as innocent as a child.

If Qian Xunji's martial soul wasn't the Qian family's six-winged angel, they would all suspect that Qian Daoliu might be cuckolded.

Unable to suppress his laughter, Yu Yuanzhen forced out a remark: "His Holiness the Pope is truly filial!"

That's the epitome of filial piety!

Tang Xun suddenly felt that his face no longer hurt.

Compared to Qian Daoliu, those slaps were a kind of gentle tenderness. He even wished Qian Xunji could have slapped him a few more times to ease his psychological burden.

After the beating, I can't be this filial anymore~

Ning Zhiping sighed, "I still have a lot to learn from the Pope!"

"You don't need to learn from me."

Jokes come out of his mouth effortlessly; Qianxunji utters a startling remark without a second thought.

"Cultivate a Soul Master with a Martial Soul capable of containing souls, and reincarnate the elders of your clan using Impure World Reincarnation! Ask away any questions you may have!"

Living a life of 996 and working 007, this is the reward for their military career!
