Chapter 14, Level 4!
The efficiency of the Spirit Hall branch truly lives up to its reputation as the number one spirit master organization on the continent, especially in front of distinguished guests holding the token of the young master of the Hall of Worship.
In just three hours, the middle-aged steward once again respectfully invited Yang Teng into the VIP room, a relaxed smile on his face as if he had completed his mission.
"Mr. Yang, the five thousand portions of whale gelatin you requested have all been prepared. They are all of the highest quality and have been packaged for you."
The deacon pointed to several small boxes next to him, which were clearly high-level storage soul tools.
Five thousand portions of whale glue are quite a lot, and the fact that they can be packed into so many boxes shows how thoughtful the service provided by the Spirit Hall is.
"Um!"
Yang Teng was also somewhat surprised.
Yang Teng scanned it briefly with his mental energy, confirmed it was correct, and then readily paid the money.
His bulging purse instantly deflated significantly, but he didn't care at all.
During the three hours he waited, he didn't rest. He took the opportunity to complete his Soul Master registration and level certification at the Martial Soul Branch Hall.
His spirit ring configuration terrified the spirit master in charge of certification, but the process was eventually completed.
Holding the newly issued Soul Master badge that marked him as a Level 39 Battle Soul Venerable, and the gold soul coin subsidy that the Spirit Hall usually issued, Yang Teng weighed it in his hand with satisfaction.
Freebies are free, why not take advantage of them?
Gu Yuena waited quietly to the side, but when the boxes of whale glue were brought out, the smile on the butler's face and the occasional curious glances from those around her made her frown slightly.
As a Silver Dragon King who has lived for countless years, even though her understanding of the human world is not particularly deep, she knows that "whale glue" in human society is mostly associated with some kind of secret bedroom pleasure.
Seeing Yang Teng accept the entire five thousand copies without batting an eye, a faint hint of embarrassment and speechlessness flashed across Gu Yuena's cool face.
She glared at Yang Teng with her silver eyes, her gaze seeming to say, "What kind of nonsense are you thinking about all day long?"
Gu Yuena felt it was too embarrassing to stand with this guy. She didn't say a word, and without even waiting for Yang Teng, she turned around and left the Martial Soul Branch Hall alone. Her figure quickly disappeared around the street corner.
Yang Teng watched her departing figure, touched his nose, chuckled, and, not caring at all, happily packed up all his things and headed home.
……
On the distant Shenlong Star in spacetime, a divine star that reigns supreme above the realm of gods.
A figure stood with his hands behind his back, seemingly at the center of the entire space-time continuum. He was none other than the Space-Time Dragon King, Yang Teng's father.
A slightly ethereal figure, yet possessing an equally vast and incomparable aura, knelt on the ground.
It was a middle-aged deity, a god-king who held the power of ending.
God of the End!
"king!"
The voice of the God of Ending carried both respect and a hint of worry.
"While the young master's growth rate is astonishing, in that lower plane, especially as he approaches a crucial breakthrough, will it attract unnecessary attention or even threats?"
His meaning was simple: does it need protection?
The Time-Space Dragon King's gaze seemed to pierce through the endless void, landing on a certain point in the Douluo Continent.
He paused for a moment, then spoke slowly, his voice calm yet carrying an undeniable authority.
"No need."
He turned around and looked at the God of Ending, his eyes filled with reminiscence and emotion.
"Back then, I also climbed up step by step from humble beginnings, encountered danger, experienced betrayal, and hovered on the edge of life and death countless times."
"Excessive protection and interference will only turn him into a hothouse flower, and his path will inevitably be bumpy."
He must cross that river by himself; he must take that step by himself.
Upon hearing this, the God of Ending lowered his head: "Yes, Your subordinate understands."
The Time-Space Dragon King looked into the distance again. At the end of his vision, seven orbs of light of different colors and sizes were slowly rotating. Those were the seven divine realms.
His gaze deepened, and he murmured silently to himself.
"Teng'er, bearing such a mission... your future path will be much more difficult than your father's back then."
Tianshui College.
Yang Teng carried the storage boxes and went straight into his room.
As the only male student in the academy, he was fortunate to have a private room, which, although small, was quiet.
He closed the door, placed several boxes on the table, and his eyes gleamed with excitement.
With the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament about to begin and time running out, these whale glues, after being refined and processed using his special methods, are unparalleled in improving the physique of Soul Masters.
Especially at institutions like Tianshui Academy, students' physical fitness is usually not outstanding.
Of course, he and Gu Yuena don't need this.
One has the bloodline of the Time-Space Dragon King, and the other is the true form of the Silver Dragon King.
He rubbed his hands together, preparing to begin processing the whale glue and figuring out how to maximize its benefits.
suddenly!
"Well!!!"
An indescribable, heavy pressure, seemingly emanating from the entire world itself, descended without warning, like an invisible mountain, pressing down heavily on Yang Teng's body and the depths of his soul!
Caught off guard, Yang Teng let out a muffled groan as his body suddenly sank, the floor beneath his feet groaning under the weight, fine cracks appearing on its surface.
"This is... dimensional repulsion!"
Yang Teng reacted instantly, and his expression changed slightly.
He could clearly feel that the soul power within him, which had already reached its critical point, was surging and impacting the level 40 barrier!
However, he was not a native being of the Douluo Continent, but an "outsider" from a higher dimension.
The will of the Douluo Continent naturally harbors wariness and rejection towards beings like him.
It's not obvious when the level is low, but even a Soul King might not be able to defeat Yang Teng, who is a Soul Venerable. If the plane suppression is gone, he will be even stronger.
"Holy crap!"
Yang Teng gritted his teeth and complained.
"I've only just broken through to the Soul Master level, is this really necessary? Are you already putting pressure on me? You're overestimating me!"
A sudden and unexpected event occurred above Tianshui Academy and throughout the entire Barak Royal City!
The once clear night sky was suddenly covered by boundless dark clouds without warning! These clouds arrived with extreme speed, as if appearing out of thin air, and instantly swallowed up all the light.
From within the dark clouds, a muffled rumble of thunder echoed, and purple arcs of lightning flashed, emanating a destructive aura that sent shivers down one's spine.
The entire kingdom was shrouded in apocalyptic darkness and oppression.
The highest observatory in the royal palace of the Kingdom of Barak.
An old man dressed in ancient armor, with a deep and unfathomable aura, suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes flashing with a terrifying light as he stared intently at the horrifying celestial phenomenon in the sky.
He is the pillar of the Barak Kingdom, its protector, and a powerful Title Douluo.
"This...this is?!"
The Protector's expression changed drastically, his voice filled with disbelief and solemnity.
"Such a range resembles the Heavenly Tribulation described in ancient texts, which is only triggered when a 100,000-year-old soul beast breaks through or encounters divine punishment!"
"What? Heavenly Tribulation? A 100,000-year-old soul beast?"
King Barak, who had rushed over, turned deathly pale upon hearing the words of the Protector of the Nation.
"A 100,000-year-old soul beast is equivalent to a Super Douluo!"
If a 100,000-year-old soul beast were to be lurking within my kingdom undergoing its tribulation, the resulting disaster would be devastating!
Millions of civilians could very well be wiped out in the aftermath of the soul beasts' tribulation!
Liu forced himself to calm down, but his voice still trembled as he gave orders to the Protector of the Nation.
"Quickly! National Master, you must go and investigate immediately! Find out the root cause of this celestial phenomenon, and whether it is truly caused by a 100,000-year-old soul beast!"
He then roared at the panicked eunuchs and generals around him.
"And another thing! Immediately issue the order to activate the highest alert level and evacuate the people of the capital and nearby towns! Hurry!"
The entire power center of the Barak Kingdom was plunged into extreme panic and chaos by the sudden appearance of a terrifying dark cloud that covered the entire country.
However, the source of all this is right now in an ordinary student dormitory at Tianshui Academy, where someone is gritting their teeth.
Trying to stand up with my heavy body!
"Fuck you!"
