Back to the Present
The wind roared past as Lin Yuan sped through the dense forest. Trees blurred into streaks of green. His figure moved like a swiftly like a shadow—as Lin Yuan was speaking with the system regarding the probability that Yu Ming had an ability to hypnotize women or had received an inheritance chance like him on a deity who governs lust.
The system's voice rang out again.
Ding!
[ System: It appears that after living for so long, you have finally developed basic reasoning ability.]
[ System: Yu Ming's capability to enchant women already provides sufficient evidence.]
Lin Yuan's expression darkened slightly.
At this point, he had grown accustomed to the system's relentless sarcasm, arguing back would only waste time.
'From the information gathered…'
His voice was steady within his mind.
'Many wives and daughters of high-ranking nobles…have betrayed their families.'
'The scandal one year ago…was enough to shake the entire upper class of the Douluo Continent.'
He recalled the reports. The silent panic among noble factions.
'Several nobles even united…to place a bounty on Yu Ming.'
Lin Yuan's eyes narrowed.
'His ability...seems to increase obedience in women.'
That was what made it dangerous, more dangerous than brute force.
Because the victims—did not even realize they were being controlled.
Lin Yuan exhaled softly, them said to his system
'And don't bother mocking me. That path is not something I've ever walked.'
He had not forgotten the system's earlier insinuation.
Ding—
The system responded instantly.
[ System: Host…If the target possessed true hypnotic capability…]
A line that made Lin Yuan's expression stiffen slightly.
[ System: What do you think he would make you do?]
'....' Lin Yuan did not respond, only increased is running speed.
Suddenly— Three shadows burst out at once from the dense forest ahead—Directly intercepting Lin Yuan's path.
He stopped abruptly, his figure sliding slightly across the ground as his gaze sharpened.
Three women stood before him, dressed in revealing attire that accentuated their figures.
Two Soul Kings And one—Soul Emperor.
The leading woman stepped forward.She deliberately puffed out her chest, her lips curling into a mocking smile.
"Dogs of the Spirit Hall…"
"You dare hunt our Master?"
Her voice carried both arrogance and fanaticism. Lin Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly.
'Brainwashed patients…of Yu Ming'
He immediately judged.
Without wasting another word—The leading woman moved, her martial soul: Knife appeared instantly.
"Fourth Soul Skill—Knife Barrage!"
In an instant—Countless phantom blades filled the air.
Like a storm of steel—rushing toward Lin Yuan from all directions.
At the same time—The two women behind her acted in perfect coordination.
One possessed a cat-type martial soul—
Her body became agile, her claws extending as she lunged forward with terrifying speed.
The other—A gauntlet-type martial soul—
Her fists glowed as she unleashed a heavy, crushing strike.
Lin Yuan remained calm almost indifferent.
'Did these brainwashed idiots not sense my Soul Douluo Aura , I am releasing.'
Behind him—a massive spider phantom appeared, before covering his body in spider like armour.
The aura of the Abyss Spider Emperor spread outward. He activated his martial soul.
In the next moment—His movements changed. His body twisted at impossible angles as spider- limbs extended from his back.
They moved like phantoms—Supporting his steps. His entire figure blurred.
This was—the modified version of the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track.
A technique personally refined by Bibi Dong and granted to him—as recognition of his loyalty to Spirit Hall.
Lin Yuan weaved through the attacks effortlessly—Before the three women could react—
He was already behind them.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Three precise strikes.Each landed at the neck—Interrupting their flow of soul power.
In the next instant—the three women collapsed unconscious.
The entire exchange—lasted only a few breaths.
Lin Yuan exhaled lightly stepped forward to check their conditions.
Ding!
The system's voice rang out again.
[ System: Host…Why this sudden display of mercy?]
[ System: Based on past records, Host has no issue eliminating soul masters.]
[ System: Is it because they possess… appealing physical features?]
Lin Yuan's expression twitched, he rubbed his nose awkwardly.
Lin Yuan replied 'No,I think they've been influenced… or brainwashed.'
He glanced at the unconscious women.
'There's still a chance to save them.'
Ding!
The system replied immediately.
[ System: Host assumes they will feel gratitude? Let this system clarify something.When Host interacts with females—You tend to appear… unsettling.]
[ System: Probability of Host dying single—extremely high.]
Lin Yuan's face darkened instantly.
Veins almost popped on his forehead.
"You bastard—!"
Just as he was about to explode—
BOOM—!!
A massive explosion erupted in the distance and the ground trembled.
A shockwave rippled through the forest.
Lin Yuan's expression changed immediately.
His head snapped toward the source of the explosion.
'That direction…'
His eyes narrowed.
'Has Julia, Order Douluo clashed with Yu Ming, Eros Douluo '
Without another word—rushed toward the battlefield at full speed.
----
The thunderous explosion that reached Lin Yuan—was due to the collision—of two powerful Titled Douluo.
Deep within the forest—the place had already been reduced to ruin due to a fierce fight
Craters filled the ground and burn marks spread across the land like scars.
At the center—Two figures stood facing each other, locked in combat.
---
Julia, Now known across the continent as—Order Douluo at Level 93, with her martial soul—The Radiant Sword was locked in a sword fight against Chen Dao.
Chen Dao was at Level 92, with the title—Sword Heart Douluo, his martial soul—The Nine Killing Sword.
The moment their swords met—another violent shockwave erupted.
Clang—!!
Neither side retreated or yielded, their fight seemed to reach a stalemate.
