Chapter 2671: Xue Ye's Solicitation_1
Xue Ye, however, ignored his words and again commanded, "Act now!"
In an instant, the Soul Masters unleashed their Martial Souls...
Soul Rings began to hover beneath their feet...
Upon closer observation, it would be found that every one of them was a powerhouse above the Soul emperor level!!
Immediately afterward, their figures flashed as they charged straight toward Xu Sheng, intending to capture him alive...
Little did they know, the latter made no movement whatsoever, which, in the Soul Masters' eyes, was tantamount to giving up resistance!
However, when their outstretched palms were about to touch Xu Sheng, they did not feel the sensation of grabbing a physical entity...
"Buzz!"
His body just vanished into thin air from their sight...
The Soul Masters immediately showed looks of disbelief...
"Afterimage... How is this possible? He's just an attendant, yet he could dodge our pursuit!"
"Damn it, that kid must have awakened his Martial Soul, but there's no way his strength exceeds that of a Grand Soul Master. He definitely couldn't have gotten far!"
"Hmph, he probably used some kind of teleporting soul skill!"
"No, impossible, that kid clearly didn't release his Martial Soul, he simply didn't have time to use a soul skill!"
As they were discussing, Xu Sheng's figure reappeared, but this time, it was behind Xue Ye...
He said in a calm tone, "Your Majesty the Emperor, it seems you are indeed determined to make a move."
Regaining his senses, Xue Ye felt a chill on his back, as if his life was in someone else's hands...
Suppressing the shaking sensation, he said solemnly, "Young... youngster, who exactly are you?"
All of them were strong individuals above the Soul emperor level, and yet they were unable to capture the other's movements!
Hearing these words, the Soul Masters then noticed Xu Sheng's figure...
They immediately exclaimed, "Damn it, kid, step away from His Majesty the Emperor right now, or don't blame us for being impolite!"
"Bind yourself now, and His Majesty the Emperor might still spare your life!"
"How on earth did this kid do it? He got behind His Majesty the Emperor in a blink of an eye."
"Everyone calm down, we must ensure His Majesty the Emperor's safety!"
Xu Sheng ignored the words of these Soul Masters and chuckled, "Me? As His Majesty the Emperor knows, I'm just an ordinary child from Holy Soul Village!"
Upon hearing this, Xue Ye narrowed his eyes and said, "An ordinary child from Holy Soul Village?? Heh... those who can be so insolent in front of a Soul Emperor are certainly not ordinary!"
Xu Sheng did not deny it, but instead explained, "That may be true, but I'm not lying. I just have a bit more talent in cultivation than my peers!"
Knowing that the former would not reveal the truth, Xue Ye took a deep breath and discreetly began to gather the Soul Power within his body...
Just as he was about to erupt, petals resembling fresh blood rained down from the sky, sticking to his neck...
"It's best if Your Majesty the Emperor doesn't act rashly, otherwise, I can't guarantee your survival!"
Xue Ye, having anticipated this, said expressionlessly, "Do you think that's enough to threaten me? Everyone, take down this brat!"
He could serve as the Emperor of the Tiandou Empire not just because of his intelligence but also because of his courage!
Little did he know, the faces of the Soul Masters right in front of him displayed intense fear...
As if they saw something horrifying...
Irritated, Xue Ye shouted again, "Did you not hear my command?"
However, the Soul Masters still did not move, their gazes fixed firmly on Xu Sheng...
Finally realizing something was amiss, Xue Ye turned around without hesitation...
And his pupils contracted...
"Title... Title Douluo!!"
In front of him, Xu Sheng, with the stunning Nine-Hearted Begonia blossoming in his palm, was surrounded by nine pitch-black Soul Rings...
"You... you're actually a Titled Douluo!"
A Titled Douluo of just a few years old, how is that possible?!
It's a bit too absurd!!
But he had to believe it because the fact was right before his eyes!
Xu Sheng still wore that smiling expression as he spoke, "Your Majesty the Emperor, there's no need to be surprised, I have no intention of harming you!"
Xue Ye pursed her lips and glanced towards the Soul Masters at her side, "All of you, stand down. This matter must not be told to anyone!"
As the previous one had said, if a Titled Douluo level powerhouse wished to take his life, there would be absolutely no chance of survival!
The Soul Masters bowed their heads, trembling as they answered, "Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor!"
Once they had completely left, only two people remained in the great hall again...
Surprisingly, Xue Ye was not fearful but instead took the initiative to speak, "So, this is why you were unwilling to undergo the Martial Soul Awakening?"
"Innate soul power... level 90!"
Xu Sheng nodded slightly, "Exactly, I was chased by the Martial Soul Hall for this very reason!"
Xue Ye pressed further, "So you mean to say, joining the Tiandou Empire Palace was also to avoid the Holy Spirit Cult?"
Xu Sheng retracted his Martial Soul, and the petals around his neck instantly turned into particles…
He then casually responded, "Yes, after all, within the territory of the Tiandou Empire, only the imperial palace is untouched by the threat of the Holy Spirit Cult!"
At this moment, Xue Ye finally understood why Xu Sheng wanted to stay by Xue Qinghe's side!
Having such a terrifying talent yet not planning to join the Martial Soul Hall!
Considering the Pope's character, he would certainly destroy what he could not obtain!
Xue Ye discarded her previous perceptions and looked at Xu Sheng with a different gaze...
"Xu Sheng, I wronged you before, and I offer my apologies here, also, if you're willing, the Tian Dou Imperial Family can offer you shelter," she said.
"Not only that, but you can also be arranged to study in the most outstanding class of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy!"
Now that she knew of Xu Sheng's surprising talent, it was natural to want to draw him to the Tiandou Empire!
As for the dignity of the emperor, it was not a big deal to set it aside occasionally!
Xu Sheng naturally chose to decline, "Thank you for Your Majesty's kindness, but I have no intention of entering any academy to study!"
"However, I do hope to stay within the Tiandou Empire Palace for now!"
Being able to stay in the Tiandou Empire Palace was naturally the best option!
Xue Ye immediately understood and slapped her chest, "Of course, that's no problem at all. You are free to go anywhere in the Tiandou Empire Palace!"
A genius with an innate soul power level 90 would be an extremely terrifying being in the future, even without a teacher's guidance!
Giving him a space to grow now, he would surely remember this kindness in the future!
Perhaps he could even assist Qing He in ruling the Tiandou Empire!
Xu Sheng nodded, "That would be great. Your Majesty, if there's nothing else, I shall take my leave now!"
But Xue Ye suddenly interrupted, "Wait a moment..."
"Xu Sheng, since you have an innate soul power level 90, your body must struggle to withstand such powerful force," she said.
"Here are three soul bones produced by ten-thousand-year soul beasts; while they are not rare, they should be able to ease your burden!"
Xu Sheng was taken aback...
Being presented with soul bones upon meeting felt like a very familiar development...
