I really am a Titled Douluo

On the other side!

Tang Wulin and the others had also taken the Soul Guidance Train to Skysea City!

Looking at the azure sky and the familiar scenery before their eyes, Xie Xie couldn't help but exclaim, "It's been a long time since I've been on a Soul Guidance Train. I really miss it, but I can't lie down, and it makes my back and waist ache!"

After speaking, he even stretched out his hand to rub his lower back...

Xu Xiaoyan covered her mouth and chuckled, "Pfft, Xie Xie, you're already at the Soul Douluo level. Aren't you afraid people will laugh at you if you say that out loud?"

Once one reaches the Soul Douluo level, one can use Soul Power to nourish the Sea of Consciousness and the body, eliminating the need for rest!

Upon hearing this, Xie Xie revealed a fierce look, "Just kidding, who dares to laugh at me? Watch me beat them until they're searching for their teeth all over the ground!"

He was now a Soul Douluo, no longer the controllable Soul Ancestor from before!

Yue Zhengyu smacked his lips and couldn't resist mocking, "Give it a break, Xie Xie. Everyone is laughing already, and other than Lizhi, who can't you beat?"

Xie Xie glared at him, but sadly realized there was no retort…

Unknowingly, his strength had become one of the lowest in the team!

To compare himself with control-class Xu Xiaoyan and food class Xu Lizhi, would be a disgrace to an agile-attack class Soul Master!

Seeing his miserable state, Gu Yue couldn't help interrupting, "Alright, Zheng Yu, tone it down a bit. Apart from us, Xie Xie's strength is an unreachable talent compared to his peers!"

These few words made the disheartened Xie Xie tearfully grateful, and he gestured a heart with his fingers, "Gu Yue, you really know how to speak. Love you…"

Beside them, Tang Wulin and Yuanen Yehui's expressions tightened, coldly saying, "Hmm?"

The temperature in the entire space seemed to drop to freezing point!

Xie Xie immediately raced to Yuanen Yehui's side, chagrined, "Hehe, just kidding. Gu Yue definitely belongs to Wulin, and I, I belong to darling Yehui!"

"Tsk," Yuanen Yehui showed a look of disdain…

Xu Xiaoyan looked at the sky and suggested, "Everyone, it's almost afternoon. Let's head to East Sea Academy immediately!"

Everyone nodded their heads, preparing to set off, when Gu Yue's Beautiful Eyes suddenly turned cold...

"Wait... there's an aura of an evil Soul Master nearby!"

As the Silver Dragon King, her perception was several times stronger than that of ordinary Soul Masters!

Xu Lizhi, with a wry face, said, "Really? How unlucky can we get? We've just arrived in Skysea City!"

Ye Xinglan seriously said, "Gu Yue, are you sure you're not mistaken? This is the center of Skysea City, there should be Federation Members patrolling, right?"

Gu Yue shook her head, affirming, "It's not a mistake, they are less than a kilometer away from us!"

Yue Zhengyu tentatively spoke, "A kilometer isn't that far, shall we check it out?"

Xu Xiaoyan hesitated for a few seconds, "This sort of thing, it's better to let the Federation handle it. Don't forget why we came here in the first place…"

Before she finished, Xie Xie interrupted, "Xiao Yan, that's not right. We are inner court students, the current Shrek Seven Monsters! Encountering an evil Soul Master, we naturally can't sit by and do nothing!"

"It's also a good opportunity to test everyone's strength!"

Alright, he just wanted to prove that his strength wasn't the weakest!

In Tang Wulin's heart, alarm bells rang, and he thought silently, "Not good, just as Teacher Wu guessed!"

He awkwardly chuckled, "I think, if Gu Yue can sense it, then the surrounding Federation Members must also be aware. They haven't made a move yet, perhaps they are aiming to capture the opportunity to lure out the accomplices of the evil Soul Master and catch them all in one sweep!"

That remark immediately drew everyone's attention...

In that instant, he felt a little guilty...

"Um... was there anything wrong with what I said?"

Xie Xie said with a complex look in his eyes, "Wulin, aren't you scared? When it came to evil Soul Masters, you were the one who always wanted to fight them!"

Xu Xiaoyan chimed in, "Yes, Wulin seems so different today! He doesn't fit in at all."

Yue Zhengyu squinted his eyes as if seeing through everything, "Wulin, are you hiding something from us? Come on, confess!"

Ye Xinglan pondered with her chin propped up, "Could it be that Teacher Wu said something to you in private that day?"

...

Douling Empire!

Once the royal household spent three times the price to buy a batch of Spirit Souls, the Spirit Pagoda reopened within the territory!

The Branch Tower Master looked around at the gathering of numerous Soul Masters and announced, "Today, the Spirit Pagoda will resume supplying Spirit Souls to the Soul Masters of Douling Land. Everyone is free to purchase Spirit Souls!"

As soon as this statement was made, excitement was evident on the faces of the Soul Masters...

"That's great, after so many years, the Spirit Pagoda has finally resumed supply!"

"What are we waiting for then? Let's quickly go buy one. Who knows when the Spirit Pagoda might suddenly stop the supply again, and then it will be too late to cry."

"Hurry, hurry, take advantage of the reopening. The good Spirit Souls haven't been snatched up yet!"

But when these Soul Masters entered the Spirit Pagoda to buy Spirit Souls, they discovered the prices were three times higher than before!

They rubbed their eyes, finding it hard to believe...

"Wait, are the prices marked wrong? They're three times what they used to be!"

"Yes, even modestly good Spirit Souls were expensive, and now they have tripled! Are they trying to make us go bankrupt?"

"Is the Spirit Pagoda playing with us? Increasing the price threefold, it would be better not to resume the supply at all!"

"Heh, don't you know? The reason why the Spirit Pagoda's Spirit Souls prices have tripled all thanks to His Majesty the Emperor!"

"Damn it... it's so expensive, it would be better not to resume supply at all!"

"Exactly, it was the emperor and the higher-ups who provoked the Spirit Pagoda. Why should we bear the consequences? It's totally unfair!"

The Branch Tower Master sighed helplessly, "Sorry, this is an order from the headquarters, there's nothing I can do!"

At that moment, the army of the Douling Empire also swiftly arrived at the scene...

The leader of the team spoke up, "Everyone, please calm down. If there are Soul Masters who need Spirit Souls, you can opt to buy from the royal household. Their price is only one-third of the Spirit Pagoda's!"

This was tantamount to the royal household buying at a high price from the Spirit Pagoda and then selling to the Soul Masters of Douling Empire at a low price!

Otherwise, buying directly from the Spirit Pagoda would require paying three times the price! Ordinary Soul Masters simply could not afford it!

After hearing the explanation, the Soul Masters gradually calmed down...

All they wanted was to buy Spirit Souls within their means!

"The royal household still has some conscience, unlike the Spirit Pagoda selling at triple the price!"

"Snort, do you think the royal household has some special privilege? Obviously, they themselves funded the purchase from the Spirit Pagoda at a high price and then passed the benefits to us, but this is indeed the responsibility of the royal household!!"

"It's the trouble caused by the emperor, naturally, it's the royal household's duty to address it. With lower prices at their end, we can just buy from there!"

While the imperial household lowered the prices, this doesn't mean that Soul Masters would feel grateful!

After all, such a mess was all caused by the emperor!
