PS: The ending of the previous chapter was revised to show nine soul rings.
"Hiss!!!!"
A wave of sharp gasps rang out across the scene.
When Yun Chuan's nine overwhelmingly present soul rings appeared, every single person from the Four Great Families erupted with excitement.
"Title Douluo!!!!"
"Even a Title Douluo!"
"How can there be such a young Title Douluo?!"
"And he actually has two 100,000-year soul rings!!"
"Wait! My god! Blue Silver Grass! His martial soul is actually Blue Silver Grass!"
"Incredible! This type of martial soul can also cultivate to become a Title Douluo?!"
"Looks like sharing the same surname is just a coincidence; this Your Grace is definitely not from Haotian Sect."
Those in the Four Great Families who had been sitting quietly now couldn't help but stand up. There was no choice: the Title Douluo was standing—how could they remain seated? Previously, ignorance might have excused it, but now knowing he was a Title Douluo, anyone still sitting would be courting death.
Even the heads of the Four Great Families, normally as steady as mountains, had no choice but to stand and give the Title Douluo the most basic respect. After all, even they were only Douluos. A Title Douluo, no matter how weak, deserved such solemn treatment.
At the same time, they realized that this Tang Chuan probably had no connection with Haotian Sect. Blue Silver Grass as a martial soul had no relation to the Haotian Hammer (they didn't know A Yin's true identity, only that he was a transformed spirit beast). The fact that someone could cultivate to Title Douluo using Blue Silver Grass meant the young man's background must be extraordinary. Any alliance would need to be maintained carefully!
Moreover, becoming a Title Douluo at such a young age… Although in this world age could not be judged purely by appearance, one could roughly estimate someone's age by their aura and bearing. According to the estimates of the four clan heads, this young man Tang Chuan would likely be no older than forty!
A Title Douluo under forty!
With such talent, the heads of the Four Great Families felt as though their own lives had been wasted.
Comparison is the greatest fear. They were already old, still only Douluos, unlikely to ever reach Title Douluo status. Yet this young man had reached the peak of soul mastery at under forty—a level they could only dream of. How could this not make them question their own lives?
"How about it?"
Seeing the surrounding people's attitude completely change after he displayed his nine soul rings, Yun Chuan felt a sense of satisfaction. Indeed, in this world of soul masters, people only valued soul rings. Using soul rings to judge strength and demonstrate power, nothing was more direct than the number of soul rings.
If he were not worried about scaring them, or if it seemed too exaggerated and unbelievable, Yun Chuan could have simulated nine fully red 100,000-year soul rings—or even million-year soul rings—using the Five Elements force! But that would have been too unnatural, making it seem fake. Showing the optimal soul ring configuration with the last two fully red was exaggerated but still acceptable.
Indeed, as soon as he revealed them, he stunned everyone from the Four Great Families.
The clan heads, previously brimming with arrogance, softened their attitude. Bai He, the head of the Min clan, smiled wryly: "Never imagined, a Title Douluo in person. It seems we elders have been blind." Saying this, he performed a formal bow. The other three clan heads, including Titan Niu Gao and Yang Wudi, also clasped their fists and bowed.
These old men, while arrogant, were not fools. None would rashly offend a Title Douluo. Besides, they had been rude earlier. Apologizing was only natural, not a matter of stubborn pride.
However, seeing the elders back down, Yun Chuan was not prepared to let it slide. After all, he had saved Bai Chenxiang, which could be considered a favor to them, yet they suspected him of being from Haotian Sect and forced him to display his martial soul. Who did they think he was?
While he understood their grudges with Haotian Sect, that had nothing to do with him, Yun Chuan. Understanding did not mean he could simply forget the incident or pretend it had never happened.
Therefore, facing the four elders' concession, Yun Chuan showed a superficially polite but insincere smile and said:
"I have long heard of the illustrious reputation of the Four Great Families specializing in single attributes. I have always wished to experience it firsthand. Since all of you are here today, why wait for another day? I humbly ask the four seniors to spar with me. Win or lose, this matter will then be settled."
At this, the four clan heads' expressions changed. It was not fear; as Douluos focusing on a single attribute, their strength was unmatched by ordinary Douluos. Moreover, if the four of them combined forces, even a Title Douluo could be cut down!
Yet, fighting a young Title Douluo for no reason was pointless. But if they refused, it would clearly be a slight.
Thus, after exchanging glances, Bai He represented them and nodded: "Since Your Grace wishes it, we four elders will naturally accompany you. Please!" He gestured respectfully.
The group exited the hall. The four clan heads told the remaining clan members who wanted to follow: "You need not come. Attend to your own matters."
The upcoming battle—winning was not a big deal. Losing, however, would be humiliating. They did not want their clan members to witness it. Every Title Douluo was formidable, and the two bloody soul rings alone had almost stunned them.
Hence, the four had no guarantee of victory. A shameful loss would severely damage their prestige.
...
The five of them arrived at a spacious arena.
"Tang Chuan, martial soul Blue Silver Grass, 91st-level high-attack-type Title Douluo!" Yun Chuan casually announced a level. This was a tradition in the soul master world—announcing one's level before a sparring match, as a sign of respect.
At this point, Yun Chuan had retracted his Blue Silver Grass martial soul, but his nine soul rings still floated around him, radiating terrifying power!
Opposite him stood the heads of the Four Great Families. Facing this excessively strong young Title Douluo, they could not help but feel considerable pressure.
