Douluo: Steal Tang San Mother at the Beginning

The Kaiyuan Team's Spirit Soul battle had ended, but the ripples it created were only beginning to spread.

Many spectators didn't even watch the remaining battles, rushing back to tell their friends about what they'd seen.

One could imagine that the entire Heaven Dou City would soon be in an uproar.

After the battle, Ning Fengzhi wanted to host a banquet for the team, but Nangong Lingyun firmly refused.

On the way back, everyone was excited, except for Huo Wu, who was a little down.

They had become famous tonight. The feeling of the crowd shouting their names still left their hearts racing.

Nangong Lingyun didn't stop them from celebrating. But just before they got out of the carriage, he reminded them not to slack off on their soul power cultivation tonight.

After a day of continuous training, the effects of meditation at this time would be at least thirty percent faster than normal.

Coupled with the top-tier simulated training ground and the yet-fully-activated medicinal properties within him,

with the accumulation of time, someone with the same aptitude could surpass those at Shrek by a whole factor of two.

Nangong Lingyun's residence was located on the east side of Kaiyuan Academy, adjacent to the lake where the Phoenix's Nest was situated. It was a luxurious and understated elegant waterside garden.

Almost every corner inside was meticulously designed, a perfect vista.

Being in such a place, even if one was illiterate, they would have an irresistible urge to recite poetry.

It would feel wrong not to say something along the lines of, "The evening glow and a lone wild duck fly together, autumn waters and the vast sky share the same color."

Such a large garden naturally wouldn't be without caretakers.

After getting off the carriage, Nangong Lingyun instructed a woman of about thirty at the door:

"Yun Niang, if someone comes looking for me tonight, lead them to the Copper Sparrow Terrace."

"Yes."

Yun Niang was the mother of one of the children rescued along with Si Ling and Si Yun. Neither mother nor daughter had high cultivation talent, and the rest of their family had been killed, so she stayed here to act as a housekeeper.

She was quite quick-witted and capable.

Seeing that she agreed, Nangong Lingyun flashed and appeared on the top of a small hill within a garden.

Entering the palace, he deliberately opened the main door completely, then sat cross-legged on a futon and began to circulate the Longevity Technique.

If nothing unexpected happened, he should be able to break through to level forty-eight tonight.

But it was impossible that something so big wouldn't cause a stir.

Less than an hour into his cultivation, Yun Niang led a white-haired old man in thin black armor onto the terrace.

Before he even entered, the man let out a hearty laugh.

"Haha, did I disturb Sect Master Nangong's cultivation? My apologies, I hope you'll forgive me."

"No problem."

"I am Yu Luo Mian. My meager cultivation allows me to temporarily hold the position of Chief Elder of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. By order of the Sect Master, I've come to visit Sect Master Kaiyuan. I bring a Dragon Blood Fruit as a token of respect."

"Please, have a seat."

Nangong Lingyun didn't rise from his cushion. With a flick of his right index finger, a sofa and a tea table, which had been placed against the side wall of the palace, instantly flew over and landed in front of him.

Control, a basic ability of the ultimate spirit with mental attachment, isn't even the main characteristic of a Martial Soul.

Because it was convenient enough, he had already developed this habit in his life.

But Yu Luo Mian couldn't help but be shocked. To be able to use a Martial Soul ability without Martial Soul embodiment?

Was this sudden display meant to give him a show of force? Thinking of his mission, Yu Luo Mian's expression became even more respectful.

Although the other party was young, he controlled such behemoths as Kaiyuan Academy and the Kaiyuan Merchant Guild, and he had a Titled Douluo protecting him. His status was not inferior to the head of the upper three sects.

A true man can yield and stretch as needed. Making friends, well, it's not embarrassing.

"The sect already knows about Tian Heng's matter. The dignified Captain of the Royal Fighting Team, a direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan,

doesn't think about how to properly improve his strength, but instead tries to take advantage of your academy using the soul battle rules. This is not what a gentleman would do."

"I've already been called back by the clan leader and given a severe scolding."

"These are minor matters. Even if Kaiyuan had lost miserably, I wouldn't blame anyone. Let's get to the main point, Elder Yu." Nangong Lingyun shook his head.

Yu Luo Mian was taken aback, then his expression turned serious.

"Alright, here's the situation. The events in Soto City have spread back to Heaven Dou City. Furthermore, Nangong Sect Leader's impassioned speech at the Great Soul Arena today has led to a lot of slander against our clan's reputation. Some people are even suspecting us of suppressing civilian geniuses. I hope to use the Kaiyuan Daily to publish a statement and clear up the matter."

"If we can turn the tide of public opinion, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will offer a generous reward."

Yu Luo Mian spoke, producing a blood-red fruit from his wrist-mounted storage device and gently placing it on the tea table.

The mountain where the main branch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan resided had a deeply mystical dragon corpse buried beneath it.

It had remained intact for a million years. The resulting soul bone wasn't like those from ordinary hundred-thousand-year or even million-year soul beasts, which were specific body parts; instead, this was a complete set of nine pieces.

Only Dragon-type Title Douluo were qualified to use it.

This particular set of soul bones allowed Yu Yuanzhen to defeat two opponents and severely injure the other two while fighting against four.

And that was despite the fact that he already had other soul bones and couldn't fully activate and utilize the entire set.

The Dragon Blood Fruit trees were rooted on top of this very dragon corpse, and the fruit was incredibly beneficial to Dragon-type Martial Souls.

Nangong Lingyun's eyes flashed with surprise.

"This thing... the Yu family doesn't have much of it, right? I wouldn't dare to take something that's precious to others."

As soon as he said this, a layer of barely suppressed anger erupted on Yu Luo Mian's face.

When his elder brother took out the Dragon Blood Fruit, many elders were opposed to it.

Such a divine object — it wasn't just a matter of not having many; it took hundreds or even thousands of years to mature.

Among the three upper sects, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had the oldest lineage, dating back even further than the Martial Soul Hall, and even its predecessor, the Angel Goddess Church.

Over such a long period, the inventory was pitifully small. It was only allowed to be used when the previous Title Douluo of the sect had passed away, and a new one couldn't be born in a short period of time.

Even he, the sect leader's own younger brother, with his decent talent, had been stuck at level eighty-nine for nearly twenty years and wasn't even qualified to consume it.

The very thing he yearned for, Nangong Lingyun showed no shock at all and casually refused.

Yu Luo Mian forcibly suppressed his anger, trying to remain calm as he said,

"This is a Dragon Blood Fruit. It has tremendous benefits for dragon-type Martial Souls, and even soul beasts. It can even upgrade their bloodlines.

The family doesn't have many left, to be precise, there's only one left.

If your beast-taming Martial Soul can contract a dragon-shaped soul beast and then use this, your potential will be limitless."

"My Martial Soul already helps with the evolution of beast-taming bloodlines. Otherwise, how could I have attracted a being like the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger? A Dark Demon Evil God Tiger of over sixty thousand years old can kill a regular Title Douluo as easily as squashing a chicken."

Nangong Lingyun let out a chuckle, not even bothering to hide his secrets. Even if Bibi Dong, Qian Daoliu, or Bo Saixi showed up, he wouldn't bat an eye.

With the Golden Lion Tiger plus Law Manifestation of Heaven and Earth and Golden Light of Ground-Traversing, he could potentially fight a top-tier expert.

Furthermore, there's Angel Yan. She could kill the top three in a one-on-one fight without breaking a sweat.
