Chapter 445: Tempestuous Edge Douluo

...

"This bead?"

Zeng Yi looked at the blood-red bead in his palm, feeling perplexed.

Feeling the repulsive energy surging from this bead, Zeng Yi knew that it must have been left behind by those evil spirit masters.

However, the massive ghosts formed by those evil spirit masters had been shattered under his attacks, so he didn't expect that there would still be something preserved.

You see, those were attacks comparable to a Titled Douluo. This blood bead, surprisingly, had no damages. Its material was really something valuable.

Zeng Yi couldn't help but feel elated, as if he had stumbled upon a treasure.

As the protagonist, it was normal for him to obtain a valuable item after defeating the villains again, right?

He didn't expect that he would encounter such a scenario himself. What a huge fortune!

However, Zeng Yi's joy didn't last long as he suddenly felt a strange restlessness.

Even Zeng Yi couldn't figure out why this emotion arose.

Could it be because of this thing?

Zeng Yi gazed at the blood-red bead in his hand. The round blood bead emitted a faint red light, exuding an indescribable aura of strangeness.

Suddenly, Zeng Yi's widened eyes lit up with realization.

The restlessness he felt should have been caused by this blood bead in his hand.

Zeng Yi knew that for something to survive the attacks of evil spirit masters, even his most powerful strike couldn't destroy it, it must be an extremely evil object.

Although it seemed ordinary, the inexplicable energy emanating from it quietly eroded his heart.

"It's the benefactor! He's still here!"

A voice full of excitement came from behind, interrupting Zeng Yi's thoughts and making his pupils contract instantly.

"Who is it?"

Zeng Yi quickly turned around, his voice cold.

In that instant, even Zeng Yi himself didn't know that a glimmer of sinister red light flashed in his pitch-black eyes.

At the same time, Zeng Yi put the blood bead into his storage bracelet without thinking.

When this mysterious and strange blood bead entered his storage bracelet, a peculiar eye opened within it.

The crimson eye moved like a living creature, seemingly observing the surroundings.

This change lasted for just a second before the eye disappeared, and the blood bead returned to its original state, quietly staying in that space.

Zeng Yi was unaware of the disturbance happening within his storage bracelet.

He turned to see a group of people walking towards him.

Those people were the knights he had saved.

"So, it's you guys. You scared me for a moment, haha." Zeng Yi couldn't help but show a smile on his face.

With the blood bead no longer in his hand, isolated in another space, his restlessness subsided, and he felt a sense of relief in his body and mind.

The group of people gathered in front of Zeng Yi, almost simultaneously lowering their heads, bowing ninety degrees.

"Thank you very much for saving our lives, benefactor!"

Looking at the people in front of him, the sincere and grateful voices overwhelmed Zeng Yi's ears.

"Well, it was nothing. I was just passing by and helped out. It's no big deal, haha." Zeng Yi felt a bit embarrassed by their overly formal gratitude.

"However, for us, it is a great favor!" Zhang Ruonan raised her head and looked at the man in front of her, her eyes filled with admiration.

"Can the benefactor tell us your name? I will be eternally grateful for your kindness!"

"Uh..."

This left Zeng Yi momentarily dumbfounded. The way this heroic female knight looked at him now seemed a little off.

After saving her and witnessing his heroic display, she turned into a little fangirl?

But this feeling was quite nice, hehe~

"Um~, I'm called Ze... Just call me Yasuo." Zeng Yi almost slipped and said his real name before quickly changing it to another persona to deceive them.

After all, his true name was once the subject of great attention throughout the continent a few years ago. He had been a key observation target of the Spirit Hall. It wouldn't be good if his whereabouts were exposed.

To avoid unnecessary troubles, Zeng Yi decided to hide his true identity.

Although several years had passed.

"Okay! Yasuo Douluo!" Zhang Ruonan's face lit up with joy. She blurted out her excitement.

"What?"

Her address puzzled Zeng Yi.

What on earth was Yasuo Douluo? Who came up with such a title?

Moreover, when did he become a Titled Douluo?

"Wait, are you calling me Douluo?"

Seeing Zeng Yi looking confused, Zhang Ruonan thought she might have offended him with her words and asked carefully, "Did I say something wrong?"

"Aren't you a spirit master at the level of a Titled Douluo?" she continued.

Looking at her, Zeng Yi couldn't help but laugh. "Yasuo is my name and not title, got it?"

"Ah? I'm sorry, I misspoke. I apologize!" Zhang Ruonan quickly apologized.

"It's okay, it's okay. Just remember that." Zeng Yi waved his hand.

"Then, Yasuo-sama, what is your title?"

"Title?"

Zeng Yi frowned and pondered for a moment.

"Tempestuous Edge?"

"Tempestuous Edge Douluo? That's a really cool title!"

"Ahaha, really? Hahaha."

It seemed that they mistook him for a Titled Douluo just because they were shocked by his earlier performance. But Zeng Yi didn't deny it. It was indeed worth showing off to be mistaken as a Titled Douluo.

Besides, with his talent, becoming a Titled Douluo was just a matter of time. So, it wouldn't hurt to enjoy the honorary title a bit in advance!

"By the way, how are you all doing physically?" Zeng Yi looked at the knights in front of him and couldn't help but ask.

Zhang Ruonan replied, "Thanks to the rescue from Senior Yasuo, we had a chance to rest. We are physically fine, but our spirit power hasn't fully recovered yet."

"The only regret is that we are the only ones left."

As she spoke, a hint of sadness flashed in her eyes.

"Oh, let me introduce myself to you. This is Marl, a Level 46 spirit master. And this is Kain." Zhang Ruonan introduced her companions one by one, and then introduced herself.

"There is one more. Who is she?" Zeng Yi looked at the delicate girl standing beside Zhang Ruonan, dressed in a white cotton coat.

Before Zhang Ruonan could introduce her, the girl spoke first.

"Um, I'm Luo Xue, the fifth princess of the Mios Kingdom. I greet Your Excellency Tempestuous Edge Douluo!"
