I started by submitting to the Douluo Continent, and the nation helped me become a god.

Chapter 13 Welcome to the Spirit Hall!

"Commoners? Try to fight me?"

Yu Tianchong rolled on the ground, clutching his severed arm, his screams turning into hysterical roars. His fat face, contorted with excruciating pain, was filled with disbelief and insane hatred.

"I am a direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family! My grandfather is a Title Douluo! My uncle is a Soul Douluo! You, a piece of trash who doesn't even have a soul power fluctuation, ambushed me with a broken iron pipe?!"

"Kill him! Old Zhou! Tear off all four of his limbs! I'm going to turn him into a meat pig! I'll make him regret ever being born!"

The Great Soul Master, known as Old Zhou, had already rushed within five steps of Li Fulan.

His petrified arms, carrying a howling wind pressure, swung like two battering rams straight at Li Fulan's chest. He didn't take the thing in Li Fulan's hand seriously at all. In his view, it was just some kind of disposable hidden weapon. The young master was hit earlier because of carelessness, but he had already activated his second soul skill, and his rock armor was enough to block ordinary swords and blades!

"Go to hell! Remember in your next life, don't mess with the people you shouldn't have!"

Old Zhou grinned, as if he could already see the young man's ribcage shattered and blood splattered everywhere.

Li Fulan stood still, without even blinking.

"You dare call yourself a dragon?"

"The dragon is a symbol of emperors!"

He didn't back down, but simply lowered the muzzle of his gun slightly, avoiding the seemingly hard rocky arms, and pointed it directly at Old Zhou's forehead.

Even a blind man could hit that distance.

Moreover, he was trained by Lin An's devilish methods.

"Bang--!"

The Desert Eagle's muzzle spewed out a ball of orange-red flame.

The immense recoil traveled up his arm and through his entire body, but under the control of his muscles, which were enhanced by his soul power, Li Fulan's arm remained as steady as if it were welded to the ground.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

The sinister smile on Old Zhou's face froze.

His prized rock armor did indeed cover his arms and even extended to his chest.

But he forgot his face.

Or rather, he never imagined that there was an attack in this world that was so fast that he didn't even have time to close his eyes.

The .50 caliber Magnum bullet, carrying thousands of joules of kinetic energy, tore through the air like a miniature locomotive and pierced his forehead.

No "protective soul power" could stop it. The weak soul power defense of that level 20-something Great Soul Master was as fragile as paper in the face of the violent aesthetics of modern industry.

"puff!"

It's like smashing a ripe watermelon with a hammer.

The red and white colors mixed together, exploded on the back of Old Zhou's head, sprayed onto the tree trunk behind him, creating an abstract death graffiti.

Zhou Laoqian's body suddenly lost all strength, like a piece of rotten wood. The inertia carried him forward two more steps, and finally, with a "thump," he knelt down in front of Li Fulan.

The mangled head slumped down, hitting Li Fulan's tactical boots and staining the once-shiny boots a dark red.

dead.

Sold out instantly.

The entire forest fell silent instantly.

All that remained was the abruptly stopped roar of the Jade Sky Insect, stuck in its throat, turning into a "clucking" sound like a duck being squeezed by the neck.

He stared wide-eyed at Old Zhou, whose face had been squeezed into a slit by fat, as he looked at the once-aggressive man who was now a warm corpse.

fear.

An overwhelming fear engulfed him like a tidal wave.

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

That was a Grand Soul Master! A powerful expert sent by his family to protect him! How could he be instantly killed by a commoner with no soul power?!

"You...you..."

Yu Tianchong trembled all over, a large wet patch appeared on his crotch, and the smell of urine even overpowered the smell of blood.

As he crawled backward, scrambling on all fours, he shakily pulled out the blue-purple jade pendant that represented his family's identity, as if grasping at the last straw.

"You can't kill me! I'm from the Yu family! If I die, the family's soul lamp will go out! They will investigate to the very end! There will be no place for you in the entire Heaven Dou Empire!"

"You're just a commoner! What makes you think you can fight against the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex?!"

Li Fulan slowly walked up to him, looking down at the writhing mass of fat.

That look in his eyes held no anger, no murderous intent, just the cold indifference of someone looking at trash.

"civilian?"

Li Fulan chuckled and used the still-hot gun barrel to gently lift Yu Tianchong's greasy chin.

"You're right, in this world, I really am just an ordinary person with no connections."

"But I didn't say that I was all alone."

Yu Tianchong's pupils dilated suddenly, reflecting the dark muzzle of the gun.

"Behind me..."

Li Fulan's voice was very soft, so soft that only the wind could hear it.

"Standing there is a superpower with a population of 1.4 billion, a complete industrial system, and is ready to develop the world."

"Compared to my country... your Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family?"

"That's bullshit."

"Bang!"

A second shot rang out.

The world is completely peaceful now.

Li Fulan put away his gun, not even glancing at the two corpses on the ground. He took a handkerchief from his tactical vest pocket, slowly wiped the blood off his boots, and then threw the handkerchief at Yu Tianchong's unseeing face.

Target eliminated. Threat neutralized.

Lin An's voice was still as steady as ever in the headphones.

【Well done. Keeping these family members around is just asking for trouble. Beating the younger ones only brings trouble on the older ones; it's better to just kill them and destroy the evidence. I suggest using Plan Three to handle the scene.】

"No need for that."

Li Fulan turned around and looked at the woman who had been sitting by the stream watching the play.

"This is the Star Dou Great Forest, and the best cleaners are the soul beasts."

On the blue stones by the stream.

Hu Liena has stood up.

Her usually nonchalant peach blossom eyes were now filled with shock, and a hint of...excitement that was hidden quite deeply.

She watched the whole thing.

There was no fluctuation of soul power, and no martial soul possession.

With just that strange silver iron pipe, two loud bangs turned a powerful Soul Master and a direct descendant of a family into corpses.

This method of killing was too efficient.

That's so...exciting!

She stepped down from the bluestone.

Those feet that were once dangling in the water are now bare, treading on the riverbank covered with pebbles and mud.

These feet are truly beautiful. The arch of the foot is just right, the ankle is so slender it looks like you could grasp it with your hand, and the toes are as rounded as peeled lychees, shimmering with a delicate pink hue in the sunlight.

The contrast between the clean and dirty soles of the feet stepping on the mud stained with dark red blood was strangely stimulating.

Like a white lotus blooming in a battlefield of carnage.

She seemed completely unconcerned about whether the ground was dirty or not, and walked step by step to Li Fulan, stopping three steps away from him.

The pleasant, sweet smell of chocolate, mixed with her unique fragrance, wafted towards me.

"You killed Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus's men."

She spoke, her voice not accusing, but rather carrying a hint of amusement.

"If word gets out, even if you run to the ends of the earth, those mad dogs will tear you to pieces."

"So?" Li Fulan shrugged. "Are you going to snitch?"

"No."

Hu Liena shook her head, her short pink hair fluttering in the wind.

She reached out a hand and gently touched Li Fulan's chest with her fingertips, the spot where his heart was beating and where the miniature camera was located.

"I think you did a great job."

A breathtaking smile curved her lips.

"Those families always think they are superior because of the bloodline left by their ancestors. They look down on commoners, they look down on Soul Masters without a background, and they even look down on our Spirit Hall."

"But you proved that even without a powerful martial spirit, even if you're just a 'commoner,' you can still smash their heads like rotten watermelons."

Her gaze turned serious as she stared intently into Li Fulan's eyes.

"Interested in trying something different?"

"For example... the Spirit Hall."

Li Fulan raised an eyebrow: "The Spirit Hall? I've heard they have a lot of rules there."

"Rules are made for the weak."

Hu Liena took a step forward, her bare feet landing on a protruding rock, without even flinching.

"In the Spirit Hall, no matter your background, whether you are a beggar or a prince, as long as you have ability, you will have resources and status."

"I am Hu Liena. Although I am just an ordinary Soul Master right now and not qualified to take on disciples, I can assure you."

"Here, no one will look down on you because of your background."

"Your kind of 'science'..." She glanced at the gun at Li Fulan's waist, "...maybe only the Spirit Hall has the breadth of mind and the courage to tolerate such heretical things."

Li Fulan did not answer immediately.

He is waiting.

Searching the database...

[Current timeline analysis: The Spirit Hall is in a period of expansion, and Bibi Dong has only recently taken power, so she urgently needs to recruit geniuses from non-sect factions.]

[Power balance: The two empires are typical feudal systems, controlled by the three upper clans, with severely rigid class structures. Someone like you, an "outsider," would only be treated as a heretic or a tool.]

[The top three sects: xenophobia and strong bloodline bias. You just killed someone from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex faction; that path is now blocked.]

[The Spirit Hall: Although its reputation is polarized, it is indeed the only organization on the Douluo Continent that possesses the attribute of "appointing people solely based on talent." Furthermore, they possess the most abundant information on spirit beasts and awakening resources on the entire continent.]

[Conclusion: From a strategic infiltration perspective, the Spirit Hall is the best springboard.]

Lin An's voice gave the final verdict through the earphones.

[Li Fulan, agree to her request. This isn't just a lifeline; it's our ticket to infiltrate the core power circles of this world.]

Li Fulan smiled inwardly.

The hero sees the same.

He looked at Hu Liena, who was not yet a saintess and had not yet been accepted as a disciple by Bibi Dong, and whose eyes still held a touch of naivety and idealism.

Who understands the joy of this "nurturing" process?

"That sounds good."

Li Fulan reached out and grasped Hu Liena's hand, which still smelled of chocolate.

"Since you've extended such a generous invitation, I'll gladly accept."

"But let me make this clear first, I'm lazy, I don't like getting up early to clock in, and I don't like being lectured."

"besides……"

He glanced down at Hu Liena's bare feet, which were covered in dust and grass clippings, making them look rather pitiful.

"Remember to wear shoes next time you go out. Although these feet are really nice, it wouldn't be good if you stepped in poop."

Hu Liena paused for a moment, then burst out laughing.

That smile, so alluring, seemed to diminish even the surrounding stench of blood.

"Welcome to the Spirit Hall."
