After three Soul Emperors had been dispatched and were still effortlessly taken down by Yun Chuan, even the dumbest nobles on the Heaven Dou Empire's side realized that Yun Chuan was absolutely not as simple as he appeared on the surface. His strength was definitely far beyond that of a Soul King—his true level was at least Soul Sage. It was just unknown what method he had used to conceal his soul rings.
Although they had never heard of soul skills capable of hiding soul rings, that didn't mean such things didn't exist. After all, soul skills came in all kinds of strange forms. Occasionally, someone obtaining a soul skill that could conceal soul rings or alter their colors didn't seem particularly strange.
Thus, after concluding that Yun Chuan was at least a Soul Sage, the Heaven Dou Empire side simply stopped bothering to send a Soul Sage to test him. Instead, they directly invited a Soul Douluo–level powerhouse who served as an imperial retainer, seeking to capture this madman who dared to attack the imperial clan in one decisive move, in order to salvage some of their lost dignity.
Very soon—
Yun Chuan, who was drinking tea by a roadside stall, sensed from far away a powerful aura rapidly approaching. This made his eyes light up, because as far as he knew, the strongest figures in the Heaven Dou Empire were only Soul Douluo at most. There were no Titled Douluo. Therefore, if nothing unexpected happened, once he dealt with this Soul Douluo, the next step would be for the Heaven Dou Empire to send someone to seek peace.
Moments later—
An old man appeared.
This old man had a head full of white hair, with so many wrinkles on his face they could pinch a mosquito to death. He looked around eighty or ninety years old. He wore a luxurious red robe and held a longsword emitting a purple glow. Around him, eight soul rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black—shone with terrifying pressure!
"Interesting."
Seeing this Soul Douluo–level elder arrive, Yun Chuan calmly set down his teacup and slowly stood up. Looking at the elderly man, whose age was advanced but whose aura was still sharp and fierce, he said, "I didn't expect that just to capture a small Soul King like me, you'd actually dispatch a Soul Douluo."
"Soul King? You're not an ordinary Soul King at all." The Soul Douluo elder looked at the young man standing before him and felt the sword in his hand trembling! His instincts screamed at him about the danger of the young man before him!
The Soul Douluo found it utterly unbelievable. From this young man, he felt an extreme sense of danger—as if the moment he dared to swing his sword, he would be killed on the spot! This kind of terrifying pressure, he had only ever felt from Titled Douluo.
Could it be that this absurdly young man before him was actually a Titled Douluo?!
But how was that possible?!
How could there be such a young Titled Douluo?!
The Soul Douluo elder found it hard to believe. He was more willing to think that this sense of danger came from some special soul skill, or that the young man merely looked young but was actually an old monster skilled in preserving his appearance.
Otherwise, nothing made sense.
After all, even Tang Hao—the youngest known Titled Douluo in the soul master world—had only reached that realm at the age of forty-five. But this young man before him looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old. From awakening his martial soul at six to now, that would mean it took him only a little over ten years to become a Titled Douluo. That was simply ridiculous.
The Soul Douluo elder refused to believe it, because believing it would mean that reaching Soul Douluo at his advanced age meant his entire life had been lived like a dog.
"Surprised that you figured it out?" After hearing the Soul Douluo's words, Yun Chuan showed a hint of surprise, then put on an expression of 'fine, I'll stop pretending' and said, "Alright then, I really am not a Soul King."
Buzz!!!
A deep humming echoed through the void.
As Yun Chuan's words fell, soul rings began to appear around him one by one—
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red!
Two yellow, two purple, four black, one red!
Nine soul rings in total hovered around him, radiating an incomprehensible sense of existence!
"..."
The scene fell completely silent.
The soldiers who had been nervously watching nearby were stunned.
The Soul Douluo elder standing not far away, facing Yun Chuan directly as he revealed his soul rings, was also frozen.
The entire area became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Yun Chuan stood with his hands behind his back, nine soul rings surrounding him and emitting terrifying fluctuations of power. The surging, boundless aura spread outward without restraint, a soul-deep might that seemed to freeze space itself.
"Well?"
After a long while, he suddenly smiled and asked, "Surprised? Unexpected?"
As soon as he smiled—
The frozen atmosphere instantly relaxed.
Those who had seemed petrified all let out long breaths. Just moments ago, facing a legendary Titled Douluo, they had nearly suffocated—having almost forgotten how to breathe.
"…Sigh."
The Soul Douluo elder suddenly let out a long sigh, then withdrew his sword martial soul. The eight soul rings around him also vanished. Shaking his head with a bitter smile, he said, "This old man has lived over ninety years. Only today, upon seeing Your Excellency, have I realized that people truly cannot be compared."
At this moment, the Soul Douluo elder had no intention of fighting at all. The gap between a Soul Douluo and a Titled Douluo was enormous. Moreover, he was already old, while this Titled Douluo before him—though his true age was unknown—looked very young. No matter how one looked at it, he held no advantage whatsoever. Knowing defeat was inevitable, why would he go seek humiliation?
More importantly, that ninth ring was actually a hundred-thousand-year soul ring—this alone terrified the Soul Douluo elder. Possessing a hundred-thousand-year soul ring meant that this Titled Douluo's combat power was absolutely above that of ordinary Titled Douluo.
"May I ask Your Excellency's title?" After giving a respectful salute, he asked.
"My title…"
Yun Chuan put on a thoughtful expression and said, "I only recently entered the Titled realm. I'm just level ninety-one right now, and I haven't had time to think of a title yet. But since a Titled Douluo needs a title, I'll name it after my martial soul, Blue Silver Grass. The title shall be 'Blue Silver.'"
"From now on, I am the Blue Silver Douluo!!!"
Watching this young Titled Douluo so casually decide his title, the Soul Douluo elder couldn't help but feel complicated emotions. After all, for those below the Titled realm, Soul Douluo was the peak, and nearly every Soul Douluo's lifelong dream was to break through and become a Titled Douluo—to possess their own title.
Thus, even though many Soul Douluo would likely never reach that realm in their lifetime, it didn't stop them from fantasizing. Almost all of them had long since carefully chosen the title they would use if they ever became Titled Douluo. Even if it might never be used, it didn't stop them from naming it—after all, one must have dreams.
Yet now, this newly advanced Titled Douluo before him treated the choice of his title so casually. It truly made this Soul Douluo elder—who had yearned for the Titled realm his entire life—feel indescribably conflicted.
