Douluo Dragon King: The First Person in History

Chapter 113 of the First Person

"Huh? Uncle He?" Qian Gu Chen Ran, who was engrossed in eating his boxed lunch, suddenly looked up and curiously gazed at the space in front of him.

Silver flames appeared in his pupils. Although he couldn't see them clearly, he could vaguely sense a powerful aura lurking in the space in front of him.

"There's a Soul Emperor-level evil Soul Master in carriage seven behind you. I just had someone check, and Councilor Mo Wu's daughter, Mo Lan, is the train conductor on this train. If I'm not mistaken, the evil Soul Master's target is her."

Tang Wulin from your class was also in that carriage, but his strength wasn't enough to handle this situation. It's up to you now. I'll count that evil spirit master as one of your three targets. After this is all over, Uncle He will report it to the Sea God Pavilion and have them give you a bonus.”

Tang Wulin! What is he doing here?! Upon hearing Tang Wulin's name, Qian Gu Chenran's expression twisted.

Oh no! We've run into a real vehicle killer!

A detailed account of Tang Wulin's love-hate relationship with the Soul Guiding Train in the original novel. Qian Gu Chenran suspects that he might have been cursed by his biological father, Tang Buddha.

He gets a splitting headache and feels nauseous whenever he touches a soul-guided device. He is naturally incompatible with soul-guided trains; eight out of ten times he rides one, something bad happens.

While riding the Soul Guidance Train with Wu Changkong, Wu Changkong fell into deep meditation, which led to a conflict between Wu Changkong and the train crew.

Both of his initial encounters with Councilor Mo Lan took place on the Soul Guiding Train. Both times, he was attacked by evil Soul Masters. Later, on his way to Devil Island, he again boarded the Soul Guiding Train and encountered evil Soul Masters again.

Thinking of this, Qian Gu Chenran stood up and walked towards carriage number seven. With each step he took, a black spirit ring appeared behind him. The appearance of five black spirit rings shrouded this spirit-guided train carriage in a thick layer of darkness.

Without any hesitation, his second spirit ring flashed. A silver light instantly enveloped carriage number seven, marking the evil spirit master and his accomplices with his mental power.

They dared to hijack a train! This is no ordinary evil spirit master; we must strike hard.

Amidst the shocked gazes of the crowd, Qian Gu Chenran stepped into carriage number seven. He looked at the evil soul master shrouded in silver light, who was staring at him in utter terror.

"Class monitor!" Tang Wulin also noticed Qian Gu Chenran's appearance. "Yo! Wulin!" Qian Gu Chenran greeted Tang Wulin, then turned to look at the train conductor Mo Lan, who was running up behind him, panting.

"Wu Lin, show him your Shrek certificate! That man is an evil spirit master. Get everyone in carriage seven out of here immediately. To prevent him from harming the public, we must execute him on the spot."

"Ah! Excuse me..." Mo Lan was about to say something, but the passengers in carriage number seven immediately became agitated after hearing the words "evil soul master".

Thanks to the Federation's regular news broadcasts about the dangers of evil spirit masters, no one chose to watch the spectacle; they all bypassed Qian Gu Chenran and ran towards carriage number six, where he had come from.

Mo Lan, who had originally wanted to see the two people's credentials, could only quickly lead her staff to maintain order and prevent a stampede that could cause casualties.

In less than two and a half minutes, all the passengers in carriage number seven had run away. Tang Wulin immediately appeared behind Qian Gu Chenran, three purple spirit rings appearing behind him, ready to unleash his spirit skills to help at any time.

"Don't be nervous! He's been hit by my Time Travel technique, he can't escape." Qian Gu Chen Ran patted Tang Wu Lin's shoulder and gently waved his left hand. Five extremely sharp silver arcs of light tore through the air and flew towards the evil soul master.

The opponent could only watch helplessly as the arc of light pierced their flesh, the pain amplified by the relentless passage of time. Crimson blood floated almost motionless in the air.

Mo Lan, who had come with the security captain to check the situation, was so shocked by what she saw that she was speechless.

"Hmm! Squad leader, the train conductor is here." Tang Wulin whispered to Qian Gu Chenran, and when he saw Mo Lan holding a soul-guided pistol, he answered something, but Qian Gu Chenran didn't say anything.

With a snap of his fingers, silver flames appeared on the body of the evil spirit master. Time's Impatience dissipated, and a large number of wronged souls emerged from his body. Under the burning of the Void Flame, the wronged souls and the corpse turned to ashes together.

Upon witnessing this scene, both Mo Lan and the train's security captain turned pale. Just how many people had this beast killed? How could so many wronged souls reside within him?

"Tsk! A Soul Emperor-level evil Soul Master, his target is definitely you, Miss Mo Lan."

Seeing the boy's heterochromatic blue and gold eyes, even Mo Lan, whose father was a senator, felt an invisible pressure.

"Although you know my name, I still want to introduce myself here. I am the train conductor of this flight. I am very grateful for your help; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

Mo Lan and the security captain bowed simultaneously to Qian Gu Chenran and the embarrassed Tang Wulin.

Neither of them doubted Qian Gu Chen Ran's earlier deduction, not to mention that he was a monstrous genius with all five spirit rings being ten thousand years old. Tang Wu Lin, standing beside him, was also an absolute monster.

All three spirit rings were thousand-year-old purple spirit rings, clearly indicating a top genius from a powerful family. The two had absolutely no reason to lie to them.

If they hadn't intervened out of righteousness, the consequences for that Soul Emperor-level Soul Master would have been unimaginable.

"Gentlemen! When you arrive in Tiandou City, please stay for a while. I have already informed the higher-ups about your deeds. We will hold a media event to present you with certificates of honor and bonuses as a token of our appreciation."

"Bonus!" Tang Wulin's eyes lit up at the mention of bonus. He didn't care much for the certificate of honor, but the bonus really resonated with him.

"Sorry! I'm not interested in any of that. I'll give my share of the prize money to Wu Lin. But please transfer it to my card. We're taking final exams right now and don't have time to stay in Tian Dou City for long." With that, Qian Gu Chen Ran looked thoughtfully at Mo Lan, who was about to try and persuade him.

"Commander Mo! A child carrying gold through a bustling marketplace is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime. I think you understand this principle. Your identity is not suitable for this profession, and I personally suggest you seriously reconsider. Not every time an accident occurs, there will be a Soul Master who can intervene in time."

"Yes! I will think about it carefully." Mo Lan nodded solemnly upon hearing Qian Gu Chen Ran's words.

As Qian Gu Chen Ran said, her status as the daughter of a federal congressman without soul power was seen by some as a child holding a golden treasure.

After this incident, she realized that her background meant she couldn't do this job. It was time for her to seriously consider her future.

"I'm sorry to bother you. Please give me a bank card number so I can have the money transferred to your card later. Please get some rest, and feel free to contact our staff if you need anything."

Because of the evil spirit master who appeared in this carriage, the passengers in carriage number seven preferred to stand in other carriages rather than return here.

Only Qian Gu Chenran and Tang Wulin remained in the entire carriage.

"You resolved everything this time, class monitor. I can't accept those two sums of money. Just give Miss Mo Lan your bank account number. I..."

"It's alright, Wu Lin, just accept it! I'm not short of money. Just take it!"

“But my father taught me from a young age that one shouldn’t just enjoy the benefits others give. I don’t have any other skills, only forging. I know my forging skills are not as good as yours, but just tell me if you need anything. And this metal, please accept it. Consider it as me exchanging this metal for those bonuses.”

Looking at the alloy Tang Wulin took out, Qian Gu Chenran's eyes flashed with various emotions. In the end, he still chose not to disappoint Tang Wulin's kindness and accepted the metal.

"Wu Lin! I'm very curious about what kind of people your parents are! How could they raise you into the person you are today?"

"Ah! My parents! My father, Tang Ziran..." Tang Wulin's face lit up with a bright smile when he mentioned his parents.

Seeing the smile on his face when he talked about his parents, a complex emotion flashed in Qian Gu Chen Ran's eyes.

Tang San! You have truly committed countless evil deeds!

Chapter 217 The Ghost Emperor's Trick and the Rising Continent

Time passed quietly during their conversation. After the Soul Guidance Train arrived in Heaven Dou City, Tang Wulin bid farewell to Qian Gu Chenran and headed straight for several Soul Master Academies located in Heaven Dou City.

Out of respect for He Yushu's abilities and consideration for the future of their own students.

Higher-level Soul Master academies, including the Mingdu Royal Soul Guidance Academy, have all agreed to allow Shrek Academy students to come to their academies for martial arts exchange and learning.

Compared to that crazy woman Cai Yue'er, the policies that He Yushu implemented after taking office as dean were applauded by the deans of all the major soul master academies, who couldn't wait to go out and set off a couple of firecrackers to celebrate.

Shrek Academy finally has someone with a brain! Making Cai Yue'er the dean is worse than putting a dog on the leash. At least a dog wouldn't cause trouble, but if Cai Yue'er became the dean, all the Soul Master academies and certain forces would suffer terribly.

If you want to challenge a Soul Master, just say so. It's not like they won't allow it. But those Shrek Academy students always have to pull some fancy tricks before each challenge.

They either publicly display banners to embarrass the challenging forces, or they cause a ruckus in the city, waiting for the mecha squad to come and challenge them. They're not afraid of being captured; they'll fight if they can, run if they can't, and if they can't run, they'll find their teacher. If the teacher can't handle it, there's always Cai Yue'er to smooth things over.

When the young are beaten, the older ones come; when the older ones are beaten, even older ones come. This happens every year. You can't reason with them calmly and rationally. Many forces are fed up with this.

This bad habit was finally stopped after He Yushu took office. What pleased the deans most was that He Yushu was known for being reasonable.

Even if you defeat the Shrek Academy students who come to challenge you, they won't come looking for trouble. Even if Cai Yue'er studied for twenty thousand years, she still wouldn't understand that.

Arriving at a courtyard, before Qian Gu Chenran could even knock on the door, a joyful voice immediately came from inside.

"Chenran! You silly child, why didn't you tell us you were going home? We could have prepared some delicious dishes in advance!" Tianhou Douluo happily opened the gate and pulled Qiangu Chenran into the Body Sect.

"Grandmaster Uncle, don't go to so much trouble! Has Senior Brother returned?"

"He's back, but he had some insights a few days ago and is currently in seclusion. Chenran, how long do you plan to stay in the sect this time?"

Gao Yuan led Qian Gu Chen Ran towards the kitchen, looking at him expectantly. Among the younger generation of the Body Sect, they had the highest hopes for Qian Gu Chen Ran and A Ru Heng. The four of them also doted on these two the most.

"I'm leaving tomorrow. Shrek Academy's final exams are only fifteen days away. I can't stay in Heaven Dou City any longer."

"Then let's prepare a feast tonight! To welcome you back." Gao Yuan patted Qian Gu Chen Ran on the back and prepared to go to the kitchen to show off his skills and cook some hearty dishes for Qian Gu Chen Ran.

"Grandmaster Gao, where are the other three grandmasters? We haven't seen them at all."

"Old Mo, Old Liu went to the Star Luo Continent with some blacksmiths and won't be back for a while. Old Wang and the others took the younger ones to participate in some competition. Right now, it's just me, Aheng, and a few beginners looking after the house." After saying that, Gao Yuan ran to the kitchen to get busy.

After surveying the huge courtyard, Qian Gu Chenran sat down on a recliner placed under the shade of a tree and began to enjoy himself.

After so many years of development, the Body Sect has finally gotten back on track with the help of the Spirit Transmission Tower, the Blacksmith Association, and the Xuanming Sect.

Even though the number of Soul Masters in the Body Sect is far less than that of Soul Master families with inherited Soul Masters due to the nature of their Body Souls, their quality far surpasses that of the Body Soul Soul Masters.

In recent years, the Soul Masters within the Body Sect have frequently traveled between the Spirit Transmission Tower, the Blacksmith Association, and the Xuanming Sect to earn commissions.

Among them, the Body Sect has an excellent reputation within the Blacksmith Association, and they have the greatest demand for members from the Body Sect. Most blacksmiths are not as strong as Soul Masters of the same level. Assassination attempts against blacksmiths have occurred on the continent before.

However, ever since the rise of the Body Sect, as long as the Blacksmith Association pays some money and metal, the Body Sect will send powerful people to protect blacksmiths who have to go out for some reason.

For a blacksmith, hiring such a powerful bodyguard only requires a small fee, ensuring a high level of trust. After all, Zhenhua and Muye are sworn brothers.

The Body Sect was also thoroughly enjoying this, gaining not only money but also the friendship of blacksmiths. They had channels to obtain the two most indispensable things for modern Soul Masters: Soul Spirits and Battle Armor. They were absolutely ecstatic.

Lying in the rocking chair, Qian Gu Chenran closed his eyes as he pondered, enjoying a moment of tranquility.

Sky above Tiandou City

He Yushu frowned as he looked at the message transmitted through his soul communication device, his mind filled with confusion and doubt.

Just now, while Qian Gu Chen Ran dealt with that evil soul master, the plague messenger who even drew Tang San's attention in the original story, several small and medium-sized cities also experienced hijackings of their soul-guided trains, resulting in casualties and financial losses.

Each time the rescue team arrived, the evil spirit masters had already vanished, leaving only the mess they had left behind.

They deliberately chose remote cities, quite a distance from the eighteen pillars of the Spirit Pagoda, to commit their crimes. The distribution of powerful Soul Masters in the Douluo Continent is extremely concentrated.

Most of the titled Douluo powerhouses are either concentrated in capital cities or ancient cities like Mingdu, Tiandou City, Xingluo City, and Lingdou City, or in other cities in the center of the continent, such as Shrek City.

In many coastal cities, Soul Emperor level experts are already rare and important figures. Many people don't even have battle armor, so these evil soul masters took this opportunity to thoroughly experience the thrill of crushing weaker opponents.

The riots by evil spirit masters have brought the soul-guided trains of Douluo Continent to a standstill. Mech squadrons and city defense forces from all over the country have been mobilized simultaneously.

The War God Temple dispatched nine War Gods, including the First War God Hao Ri Douluo Ao Rui, along with a group of War God Temple members, to various parts of the Douluo Continent to eradicate evil soul masters.

Far to the south, the Angel Family, sensing the presence of the evil spirit masters, didn't even need anyone to ask; they simply followed the scent and began hunting them down across the continent.

Upon hearing the news, Yue Zhengyu, who was studying at Shrek Academy, asked his teacher for leave and excitedly went with his family to hunt down evil spirit masters.

The entire Douluo Continent was thrown into turmoil by the evil soul master's actions.

Seeing this, He Yushu immediately gave orders to all the Shrek teachers following behind the students.

The exam content has been changed. All students located in remote cities must return to cities such as Tiandou City, Xingluo City, and Lingdou City under the guidance of their teachers to reunite with other students and form teams.

Then, the teachers will lead the teams to the cities where the various Soul Master forces and academies are located for exchange matches. The students in Tiandou City, Xingluo City, and Lingdou City will wait patiently for the other students to arrive and join them.

As the Ghost Emperor was humming a tune on his way back to the Holy Spirit Cult, he suddenly felt a vibration in the soul communication device in his arms.

He slowly answered the phone, and before he could speak, the Federal Speaker on the other end immediately launched into a warm greeting to the Ghost Emperor's ancestors.

"Ghost Emperor! I'll fuck you so hard..."

Ghost Emperor:?
