Douluo Dalu(Soul Land): My System Is Dissatisfied

Chapter 317: Chapter 317



"Let's take this cart," Ye Feng said calmly, not minding the pain coursing through his body. He slowly stood up, each step heavy with exhaustion. With the help of the farmer and Steward Ge Ye, he climbed onto the ox cart and sat down.

"Head toward Wu Tan City," he added.

Under Ge Ye's lead, the small caravan continued along the stream. Ge Ye glanced back at Ye Feng, who had already entered a meditative state, his breathing steady and calm. He sighed deeply.

"The world will belong to this man one day."

Hearing such high praise, Liu Ling couldn't help but question silently.

"Ge Ye… I don't agree. How can someone so young possibly dominate the world?"

Ge Ye didn't take offense. After all, Liu Ling was an alchemist.

"I wouldn't say it lightly. At such a young age, he's already stepped into the realm of a Spirit King. A genius like him is rarer than the previous masters of our Yunlan Sect. This world… will eventually be his."

"Spirit King?" Liu Ling halted for a moment and turned to look back at Ye Feng. "You're saying he's already reached the Spirit King level?"

"Otherwise, how else would he fall from the sky like that?" Ge Ye shot back.

"Could it be from training his Battle Qi to the point of forming wings?" Liu Ling speculated.

"Likely," Ge Ye nodded. "But even so, I doubt he's truly reached the Spirit King stage. The youngest known Spirit King in our Jia Ma Empire is already over forty. He looks barely older than I am…"

As Liu Ling continued to doubt, something strange occurred.

Buzz—

A phenomenon emerged. The spirit energy in the surrounding space surged violently, pulled in toward Ye Feng like a tidal wave. It wasn't just absorption—it was plundering. Ye Feng, seated in the cart, resembled a black hole, continuously devouring every ounce of energy around him.

"This…" Liu Ling was speechless.

"My cultivation just advanced!" Nalan Yanran exclaimed in shock. Just moments ago, she had felt her spirit power rise a level.

Ge Ye could only sigh once again.

"What a mysterious man…"

The spirit energy was so thick that wherever the cart passed, wildflowers bloomed in its wake.

About half an hour later, the caravan stopped just outside Wu Tan City. Given the strange spectacle, Ge Ye instructed the farmer to park the ox cart beneath a large tree.

A few minutes later, Ye Feng opened his eyes.

"Let's head into the city."

He got off the cart and walked forward. Ge Ye, Liu Ling, and Nalan Yanran followed behind him.

After entering Wu Tan City, Ye Feng showed no intention of leaving. He followed Ge Ye to the Xiao Clan—one of the three great families in the city.

Ge Ye had sent word the day before, requesting an audience with the Xiao Clan. The purpose was simple—to break off the engagement with Xiao Yan.

---

A servant led Ye Feng, Ge Ye, Liu Ling, and Nalan Yanran directly into the clan's main hall.

At the head seat sat four men—three elders and the clan patriarch, Xiao Zhan. Off to the left were other clan members, including several young boys and girls, clearly the direct descendants of the Xiao bloodline.

Ye Feng's gaze paused on a particular seat.

There sat a young man, handsome with a lazy smile. His eyes held a glimmer of pride and mystery. Beside him was a young woman in a flowing purple dress. Her calm, serene aura made her seem like a lotus blooming in the mortal world. Her slender waist, tied with a lavender ribbon, highlighted her elegant curves. Two small green bells dangled from her fair wrists—she was like a painting come to life.

Ye Feng was sure—these two were Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er.

After settling in, Ge Ye made small talk with Xiao Zhan before standing up and clearing his throat.

"Cough… Patriarch Xiao, we've come today for a specific matter."

"Haha, Elder Ge Ye, feel free to speak. As long as it's within our ability, the Xiao Clan will surely not refuse," Xiao Zhan responded courteously.

"Do you recognize this young lady?"

> "Ah… Forgive me, but I can't quite place her identity," Xiao Zhan said, slightly embarrassed.

"Ahem. This is Nalan Yanran."

"Nalan Yanran?" Xiao Zhan blinked, then realization dawned. "The granddaughter of Master Nalan?"

"Indeed."

"So it's niece Nalan! Forgive this uncle's poor memory—it's been many years."

"Uncle Xiao, it's my fault for not visiting sooner. I wouldn't dare blame you," Nalan Yanran said politely.

"I've heard that you became a disciple of Lady Yun Yun. I thought it was just a rumor… so it's true. You truly are gifted!"

"I was simply lucky," Nalan Yanran said, uncomfortable under Xiao Zhan's praise. She subtly tugged on Ge Ye's sleeve.

Ge Ye gave a light chuckle before continuing.

"Patriarch Xiao, this matter concerns Yanran… and comes directly from the Sect Master."

"Please, speak freely," Xiao Zhan urged.

"You're aware that Yunlan Sect holds strict traditions. The Sect Master has placed great expectations on Yanran—she is now being groomed as the next Sect Master. Due to certain rules, an heir to the sect cannot be engaged or involved with a man until they ascend to the position. After speaking with Yanran, the Sect Master learned of her prior engagement with the Xiao Clan…"

"And so, we must humbly request the annulment of this engagement."

Crack—

The jade cup in Xiao Zhan's hand shattered into powder.

The hall fell into a suffocating silence.

Ge Ye sighed again and tried to persuade gently.

"Patriarch Xiao… we know this is difficult. But for the sake of the Sect Master…"

Buzz—

Xiao Zhan's clenched fists trembled. A green spirit light erupted from his body, forming the phantom of a roaring lion around his face.

Xiao Clan Spirit Technique: Crazy Lion Fury.

Grade: Mid Xuan Level.

Ge Ye narrowed his eyes, spirit power rising as he prepared to defend—

But Ye Feng merely raised his eyes.

A terrifying force burst forth from him, crushing Xiao Zhan's energy and forcefully collapsing the lion phantom back into his body.

Xiao Zhan stumbled, face pale. He stared at Ye Feng in horror.

Ye Feng stood calmly.

"What? You plan to use force?"
