Douluo Dragon King: The First Person in History

Chapter 14 of the First Person

Xia Zhengleng nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

When Xu Xuanming arrived, he was pleased to hear that his Qian Gu Chenran was cultivating upstairs.

"Great! Chenran has really grown up. I'll go upstairs to find him now."

Upstairs, Qian Gu Chen Ran, who was meditating and cultivating, suddenly opened his Tai Xu Eyes on his own. At this moment, in Qian Gu Chen Ran's eyes, it seemed that he saw a Xuanwu (a mythical tortoise) standing outside his room, roaring to the sky.

Before Xu Xuanming could knock, the door was opened.

Looking at Qian Gu Chenran, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, Xu Xuanming patted his head and said, "Chenran, it's been a long time. Have you missed your second grandpa?"

Qian Gu Chenran nodded. "Of course! I was overjoyed when I heard that you were going to teach me about soul tools, Second Grandfather." He then led Xu Xuanming into his room.

Looking at Qian Gu Chenran's expectant eyes, Xu Xuanming's lips curled up, and a sense of satisfaction welled up in his heart.

At his level of cultivation, the flattery of juniors is what gives him the greatest satisfaction.

Later, under Xu Xuanming's guidance, Qian Gu Chenran began his career as a Soul Master.

After teaching him for a while, Xu Xuanming was also shocked by Qian Gu Chenran's talent.

The other party was like a sponge, continuously absorbing the soul guidance knowledge that I imparted to him.

Seeing Qian Gu Chenran eager to try, Xu Xuanming took out a palm-sized piece of heavy silver and said, "Come on, Chenran, just carve a level one soul guidance core array on this."

Qian Gu Chen Ran took the sunken silver and immediately began carving with his Dark Gold Terror Claw.

Qian Gu Chen Ran meticulously carved the core magic array onto the sunken silver. Watching Qian Gu Chen Ran's fluid movements, Xu Xuan Ming nodded.

The user's own martial soul is truly uniquely advantageous in the creation of soul tools. Many soul masters, when carving the core array, will ruin the entire array due to the slightest mistake.

However, Qian Gu Chenran, who possesses a true martial soul, would not face this kind of trouble.

Qian Gu Chen Ran's superb body control reduced the frequency of mistakes during the carving process, and his powerful mental strength ensured that he would not make any mistakes when working on the core magic array.

Time passed second by second, and the magic array on the sunken silver gradually took shape. Xu Xuanming clenched his fists behind his back, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

Qian Gu Chen Ran's carving movements became faster and faster until a "clang" was heard. Looking at the completed core magic array in his hands, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

As soul power was slowly poured into it, the silver exploded with a dazzling blue light, eventually forming a pillar of light a foot high.

The pillar of light was crystal clear, covered with dense patterns. And those patterns were the freezing magic array that Qian Gu Chen Ran had carved this time.

Xu Xuanming nodded happily. "Chenran, you can now be considered a first-level Soul Master. Let's stop here for today. Tomorrow, your second grandpa will teach you how to carve a second-level core magic array."

Afterwards, the grandfather and grandson went downstairs together to tell Xia Zhengleng and Qian Gu Qingfeng the good news.

The couple were overjoyed to hear that their son had become a Level 1 Soul Master in just two and a half hours.

"Chenran, go upstairs and check on Na'er. She just arrived at our house, and you kids will have plenty to talk about."

Seeing Qian Gu Chen Ran go upstairs to find Na'er, Xia Zheng Leng immediately used her mental power to seal off the surroundings to prevent others from hearing their conversation.

"Second Uncle, I heard from Father that our ancestor is about to break through to 700,000 years old."

Xu Xuanming nodded. "Yes! It should be something that happened recently."

The ancestor Xia Zhengleng mentioned was none other than the Golden Tortoise Shell, a legendary soul spirit passed down from the ancestor of Xuanwu Douluo Xu Sanshi.

After the relationship between the Xuanming Sect and Shrek Academy deteriorated, their relationship with the Spirit Pagoda naturally became much weaker.

It wasn't until Shrek and the Spirit Tower broke up that the two sides reconnected.

When Xia Zhengleng and Qian Gu Qingfeng became husband and wife, the two major forces became the closest allies.

The reason why the Xuanming Sect dared to openly oppose Shrek Academy alongside the Spirit Pagoda was that they could consistently produce a Limit Douluo in each generation.

The secret to the consistent emergence of Limit Douluo lies in their legendary soul spirit, the Golden Tortoise Shell.

"Zheng Leng, you want the old hawksbill turtle to shed its shell this time."

"Second Uncle, you know we can't always follow Chenran. There will always be times when we can't take care of him!"

Besides, this place is close to Shrek Academy, so it's always good to have a few backup plans.

"Yes! You're right. I'll talk to my brother about it in a bit."

Chapter 31 Professional Turtle Farmers and the Approaching Storm

Golden hawksbill turtles molt once every 100,000 years.

As the prototype of the invincible protective shield, the shell shed by the 500,000-year-old golden tortoise shell is naturally a top-quality raw material for soul tools.

Xia Zheng Leng wanted the golden tortoise shell that the legendary soul spirit had shed this time to protect Qian Gu Chen Ran.

Xu Xuanming had no objection to it, especially since the Qian Gu Clan had also contributed significantly to elevating the Golden Tortoise Shell to a higher level.

"I will personally take action and turn the shell that the old hawksbill turtle shed this time into a level nine soul tool."

Xia Zheng Leng and Qian Gu Qing Feng were also delighted upon hearing this.

"Sigh! Back in the day, Chen Ran loved playing with those little hawksbill turtles the most. If only Chen Ran could awaken the Xuanming Turtle Martial Soul. Our Xuanming Sect just happened to have a golden hawksbill turtle that mutated to have spatial attributes in the last few years."

Xu Xuanming sighed as he finished speaking.

Back then, the Federation, together with the Spirit Pagoda, Shrek Academy, Tang Sect, War God Temple, and other major forces, attacked the Star Dou Great Forest.

Upon hearing this, the current sect leader of the Xuanming Sect discussed with the legendary soul spirit, Golden Tortoise Shell, and decided to bring all of the other party's clans back to the Xuanming Sect.

Upon hearing this, the golden hawksbill turtle immediately agreed. The best decision it had made in the past hundreds of thousands of years was to become Xu Sanshi's soul.

Ever since being brought back to the Xuanming Sect, I've been pampered with good food and drink every day, and at night I can even make little turtles with all sorts of beautiful female turtles. This is much more comfortable than in the Star Dou Great Forest.

It also wanted its people to live a better life in the Xuanming Sect. The Star Dou Great Forest was doomed sooner or later, but it was different in the Xuanming Sect. Even a ten-year-old golden tortoiseshell was treasured by the people of the Xuanming Sect.

After all, there was already an Ascension Platform at that time, so even if it was a ten-year-old golden tortoise shell, they could make it last for ten thousand or even a hundred thousand years.

After that, the entire Xuanming Sect mobilized, leaving only a few Title Douluos to guard the base.

Upon arriving at the Star Dou Great Forest, led by the Golden Hawksbill, the Xuanming Sect members headed straight for the Golden Hawksbill's gathering place.

A group of golden hawksbill turtles saw a group of humans with glowing red eyes heading straight for them. Just when they thought their lives were over, their ancestor, who had been taken away by Brigitte, flew out from the body of the leading human.

After their ancestor gave them a long explanation, all the golden tortoises eagerly wanted to go with these humans. With food, lodging, and mates provided, how could a group of naive little turtles refuse?

The Xuanming Sect members were all grinning from ear to ear. During this trip to the Star Dou Great Forest, while other forces were fighting to the death, only the Xuanming Sect was feasting.

Although there were less than twenty golden hawksbill turtles left, it was enough for them.

After reclaiming the Golden Hawksbill Turtle Clan, the Xuanming Sect embarked on the path of turtle breeding, a path from which there was no turning back.

The Golden Hawksbill Turtle clan is predominantly male, and after being ravaged by the Spirit Pagoda, only one out of seventeen Golden Hawksbill Turtle turtles is female.

But this didn't stop them. They provided each golden hawksbill turtle with at least four or five mates, and sometimes as many as ten or more, including both sea turtles and land turtles.

By now, the Golden Tortoise Shells have been cultivated by the Xuanming Sect in all sorts of ways. Take Xu Xuanming as an example; he fused a Golden Tortoise Shell that mutated to have spatial attributes and another that mutated to have wind attributes, and his Martial Soul evolved into the Heavenly Azure Black Tortoise as a result.

When it comes to raising turtles, no force can compare to the Xuanming Sect. Even the Spirit Pagoda sometimes consults the Xuanming Sect on matters concerning turtle-type spirit beasts.

upstairs

Qian Gu Chen Ran knocked on Na'er's door, "Coming!"

Upon opening the door, they saw Qian Gu Chen Ran. Na'er happily pulled him to sit down at the stall, with snacks scattered all around them.

The Soul Guide TV in front of me is showing the Red Dust Detective, a product of the Sun and Moon Federation.

"Hey boss, come watch TV with me!"

Qian Gu Chen Ran looked at Na'er's expectant eyes and did not refuse her.

"Boss, boss, who do you think is the murderer this time?"

"The one in the green school uniform!"

"Really?! How did you know, boss?"

"That is wisdom!"

"...You arrogant boss!"

"Ha! You eat my food, use my things. And you dare to talk back to me? Here, I'll scratch you!"

Taking advantage of Na'er's momentary lapse in attention, Qian Gu Chen Ran picked up her delicate, white feet, which were as white as jade.

"Haha! Qian Gu Chen Ran, put it down right now."

"Heh heh heh, I won't let you go!"

While the two little ones were playfully bickering, a storm was brewing in Shrek City nearby.

Shrek Academy, Poseidon Pavilion

Ten people sat around an oval-shaped round table. Each of these ten elders of the Sea God Pavilion was a peerless powerhouse renowned throughout the continent.

If anyone from Shrek Academy were to witness such a scene, they would surely be shocked.

Meetings are only held at the Sea God Pavilion when something major happens at Shrek Academy. Therefore, the Sea God Pavilion meeting is also known as the Shrek Academy's highest leadership meeting, where the future of the academy is decided by a show of hands.

There are two ways to hold the Poseidon Pavilion meetings: one is a regular annual meeting, and the other is an ad hoc meeting.

This meeting was a special, ad hoc meeting convened only when a major event occurred.

Historically, the convening of each extraordinary conference signifies that a major event affecting the entire continent is about to occur.

Resisting the invasion of the Sun Moon Empire, establishing training methods for the Spirit Ice Douluo, supporting the establishment of the Sun Moon Federation, and so on...

Meanwhile, Shrek was embroiled in a heated argument over an anonymous document.

Sitting in the main seat, Yun Ming, the strongest man on the continent, rubbed his temples.

"Bang! This is outrageous! We Shrek Academy have done so much to protect this continent and the Federation."

How dare they! They actually allocated so many resources to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, why not to Shrek Academy?

"And those congressmen, using Shrek's resources, actually dare to be my opportunists."

An elderly woman with white hair slammed her fist on the table in anger; she was none other than Cai Yue'er, the once-renowned Silver Moon Douluo.

A black-haired woman sitting to Yun Ming's lower left nodded in agreement. "Yue'er is right. We Shrek Academy has done so much for the Federation. They've really gone too far this time. Yue'er, what do you suggest we do now?"

"Sister Yue, I think the main responsibility this time lies with that Federal Speaker. Brother Ming, you don't even need to do anything. I'll just go to his door and slap him, then make him apologize to us publicly in front of all the media."

"And those families, their own children died during training, that's because they were less skilled. And they dare to blame us."

The other elders nodded in agreement.
