Douluo: Heaven Seal

Chapter 46: Combat Power Comparable to a Beast King... That's It? Xie Yue Is Shocked! Recruitment Begins!

Concentration Talisman!

Supreme Induction Talisman!

Two talismans that enhanced spiritual power landed on him. Lu Yu's eyes sparkled with clarity. His voice boomed like thunder as he roared:

> "Come!"

This was the Nine-Character Mantra, a mental technique passed down from ancient Daoist teachings in another world.

The mantra itself wasn't particularly powerful, but Lu Yu's spiritual strength was overwhelming at this moment!

With the Death Domain further suppressing the battlefield, the Ghost God Butterfly that was fleeing suddenly froze midair, stunned into place.

But then, the Ghost God Butterfly let out a piercing screech, so sharp it shook the soul.

Even with Lu Yu's mental power—now comparable to that of an eight-ring Spirit Douluo under multiple blessings—his face still turned pale from the impact.

> "Go!"

Lu Yu didn't hesitate. He shouted low and flung the Fantian Seal from his hand—all three spirit rings lit up at once!

Under its terrifying suction, the Ghost God Butterfly was dragged directly into the exploding seal.

> "Bang!"

A deep thud echoed.

Lu Yu blinked.

> "It's... dead?"

Looking at the crushed remains of the Ghost God Butterfly on the ground, Lu Yu was momentarily stunned.

> "This... this was the so-called super soul beast?"

> "Where's the Beast King-level combat power?"

He had prepared himself for a brutal life-or-death battle. Instead, the Ghost God Butterfly was... directly smashed to death by the Fantian Seal?

> "Could it be... its body was fragile because its strength lies in mental power?"

Lu Yu mused, thoughtfully.

Then, as a ring of black soul light slowly rose from the Ghost God Butterfly's remains, the doubts in Lu Yu's eyes faded instantly.

> No matter what—his fourth spirit ring was here at last!

He inhaled deeply and summoned a Summoning Talisman, though he didn't immediately activate it.

Taking a few steps forward, Lu Yu sat cross-legged and began absorbing the spirit ring.

The Summoning Talisman hovered in his palm, ready to be used instantly if danger arose.

Elsewhere in the canyon, Xie Yue, silver-haired and fresh from battle, sat cross-legged and slowly opened his eyes.

A satisfied smile spread across his face.

Floating beside him were five spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, one black.

The corpse of a Human-Faced Demon Spider lay nearby.

> At nineteen years old, he had become a five-ring Spirit King!

From this moment on, he had broken the Spirit Hall's record and officially became the youngest Spirit King in its history!

But Xie Yue wasn't proud.

His goal had never been the title of "youngest genius." What he sought was to catch up with the peak experts of the older generation!

> "Her Holiness must be done by now... I'll go find Nana first, then we'll return to Spirit City together."

With that thought, Xie Yue stood.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly paused and looked back toward the area where he had encountered that strange boy earlier.

> "Who was that kid? He had a domain at such a young age… Could he be a secret genius trained by the Star Luo Empire?"

Xie Yue frowned.

> "That doesn't seem right… This place is close to the border, but far from Star Luo City. Why would he come here for a spirit ring?"

> "If he's not from Star Luo... then I must take him back to Spirit Hall!"

With eyes shining, Xie Yue made his decision.

He immediately turned and headed back in that direction.

---

Soon, he reached the location where he had last seen Lu Yu—but there was no trace of either Lu Yu or the Ghost God Butterfly.

So, he continued deeper in that direction...

Then—he stopped dead in his tracks.

His eyes widened. His jaw slackened.

> In the clearing ahead, that same youth sat cross-legged, calmly absorbing a spirit ring.

The Ghost God Butterfly was gone, but not entirely. Not far ahead of the youth was a pool of crushed flesh, just barely distinguishable as what used to be the butterfly.

> This youth... had killed a Ghost God Butterfly, a beast whose combat power rivaled a Beast King, alone?

But that wasn't even the most shocking part.

What truly shattered Xie Yue's mind was this:

> Around the youth floated four spirit rings—one yellow, two purple, one black!

> "Is this a joke?!"

> "A thousand-year second ring?"

> "A ten-thousand-year fourth ring?!"

> "And... he has a domain?!"

> "What kind of monster is this?!"

Xie Yue's scalp tingled. The pride he felt for becoming the youngest Spirit King vanished.

> The youth didn't even look fifteen!

> He himself had only broken through level 40 at sixteen... and this kid was already stronger?!

> The soul ring configuration alone could shake the continent—and he had a domain on top of that!

A storm of thoughts raced through Xie Yue's mind—until they crystallized into two terrifying conclusions:

Option One: Recruit him—no matter the cost, bring this boy into Spirit Hall!

Option Two: Eliminate him—before he becomes a threat to Her Holiness's plans!

If he couldn't be used... then he must be removed.

Taking a deep breath, Xie Yue calmed himself and began walking slowly toward Lu Yu.

But before he could get within ten meters, the boy sitting cross-legged suddenly opened his eyes.

A gray light flashed in them.

In the next instant—Xie Yue's head throbbed with searing pain. His complexion turned pale, and he staggered back a few steps.

He looked at the boy in shock.

> "What terrifying spiritual power!"

Even his sister—who specialized in mental strength—might not possess power this intense.

Coming to his senses, Xie Yue quickly waved his hands.

> "Brother, don't misunderstand! I mean no harm!"

He looked at the butterfly pulp, then chuckled awkwardly:

> "In fact, I should be thanking you for dealing with that headache for me!"

Lu Yu stared at him and said calmly:

> "You needed the Human-Faced Demon Spider's ring. I needed this one. We both got what we wanted. That's all."

Hitting a dead end in the conversation, Xie Yue forced a smile. His brain worked furiously, searching for a new angle.

Eventually, he managed to blurt out:

> "Bro... you're really handsome…"

Lu Yu was speechless. His gaze turned strange.

> What's wrong with this guy? Is he... that way?

> "No, no! Don't get me wrong!"

Xie Yue frantically waved his hands.

"I mean—my sister would absolutely love someone like you! Young, strong, and good-looking!"

Suddenly inspired, he latched onto the idea and kept rambling:

> "Brother! My sister is a top-tier beauty, even across the whole continent!"

> "And super talented too! She reached the fourth environment realm at fifteen. Now she's level 48, just one step from Spirit King!"

> "So... what do you think about becoming my brother-in-law?"

Lu Yu was baffled.

> What in the world is happening?

> Is... this guy trying to pimp out his sister?

But as Xie Yue kept talking, Lu Yu began to piece things together.

A young Spirit King.

A sister who was likewise a genius.

Mention of the Spirit Hall.

> "It has to be him—Xie Yue, leader of the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall."

Plus, the Heaven Dou exchange group had just been ambushed by Spirit Hall. Even Ghost Douluo was there in person.

And now, here they were, near Star Soul Canyon. It all made sense.

Lu Yu didn't want to get involved with the Spirit Hall right now.

> "I'm not interested in your sister,"

he said flatly.

"And I'm not your brother. Goodbye."

With that, he turned and walked away.
