Chapter 58: Imperial Seal Technique!

The universe maintains a balance; where there is yin, there must be yang, and where there is righteousness, there must be evil. 

This duality applies to the soul master profession as well. One type is the righteous soul masters, who are the majority of ordinary soul masters; the other type is the evil soul masters, known as Blood Soul Masters in Hu Liena's words.

Although evil soul masters are few in number, they can rapidly advance before becoming Title Douluo by devouring others' blood, flesh, souls, and even martial souls, causing great havoc.

Just a few evil soul masters can wreak havoc in a city.

Furthermore, evil soul masters can corrupt and lure ordinary soul masters into becoming evil soul masters through manipulation, temptation, or directly using evil soul techniques.

If left unchecked, evil soul masters can spread like a viral outbreak.

Fortunately, there's the Spirit Hall.

As the most powerful force on the Douluo Continent, the Spirit Hall has diligently purged evil soul masters, preventing them from becoming a significant threat. Most ordinary people are unaware of their existence.

Hu Liena, for instance, was sent ahead to scout the evil soul masters' whereabouts for eradication.

In the original storyline, after Tang San destroyed the Spirit Hall, evil soul masters became unrestrained. Major powers were unwilling to assume responsibility for eliminating them, and some even colluded with evil soul masters to expand their influence.

Thus, by the time of Douluo 2, a thousand years later, evil soul masters had grown significantly.

The strongest organization of evil soul masters, the Holy Spirit Cult, even had dozens of Title Douluo, daring to confront the major empires and Shrek Academy directly!

Reflecting on this, Zhou Chen shook his head.

At this moment, seeing Zhou Chen's expressions change, Hu Liena asked with some confusion, "Zhou Chen, you seem to know about the Blood Soul Masters?"

"Yes."

Zhou Chen smiled, then began to speak with a seriousness that belied his nonsense: "In my family's ancient records, this type of soul master isn't called Blood Soul Masters; they're known as Evil Soul Masters."

"Evil Soul Masters?"

Hu Liena raised an eyebrow, agreeing, "That name is indeed more accurate. Your family's ancestors must have been formidable to know such secrets."

"Indeed, indeed."

Beside them, Zhu Zhuqing nodded adorably, agreeing, "Zhou Chen's ancestors are truly impressive. They even managed to obtain divine artifacts."

"Ahem, let me correct you two."

Zhou Chen coughed lightly, then winked and cheerfully said, "It's not 'your family' or 'their family,' but 'our family.'"

At these words, Hu Liena paused, then her cheeks flushed a deep red, nodding slightly, her eyes filled with sweet smiles.

As for Zhu Zhuqing, she was so shy that she couldn't lift her head.

Zhou Chen's words effectively declared: You both belong to me, so naturally, you're part of our family!

Hu Liena playfully leaned on Zhou Chen's shoulder, half complaining, half teasing, "You just know how to charm us. Be honest, how many girls have you said such sweet words to?"

"I swear, I've only said them to you two."

Zhou Chen replied with genuine sincerity.

The trio nestled together, sharing whispers, their feelings deepening with each exchange.

After a while, Hu Liena lifted her head and suddenly said, "Tomorrow, the experts from the Spirit Hall tasked with eradicating these Evil Soul Masters should arrive."

"So you're saying..."

Zhou Chen cautiously asked while gently stroking Hu Liena's golden hair, "Should Zhuqing and I leave tomorrow to avoid being recognized? After all, we're headed to Heaven Dou City soon."

"No need."

Hu Liena smiled and said, "Do you know why the Spirit Hall hasn't sent anyone to hunt you in recent years?"

After pondering for a moment, Zhou Chen's eyes lit up as he guessed, "Because the portrait from six years ago is outdated?"

"Exactly. My husband is so clever."

Hu Liena laughed quietly, "Six years ago, you were just a child. Now you've grown up, still as handsome, but your appearance has changed. How could the Spirit Hall find you with a six-year-old portrait?"

Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing asked curiously, "Then how did you recognize Zhou Chen downstairs?"

"Because I love him!"

Hu Liena tilted her head slightly, speaking as if it were the most natural thing.

Hearing this, Zhou Chen felt a surge of emotion and held Hu Liena tightly by the waist.

Feeling Zhou Chen's warm embrace, Hu Liena relaxed against his shoulder and continued, "So, there's no need for you to leave. As long as I don't reveal your identity, no one will know."

Pausing, Hu Liena looked up, her eyes filled with affection as she gazed at Zhou Chen's serene profile: "We haven't seen each other for six years. Could you stay with me for a few days?"

"Of course."

With Hu Liena's heartfelt request, how could he refuse?

"I knew you were the best to me."

Hearing Zhou Chen's agreement, Hu Liena smiled joyfully, her beautiful eyes curving like crescent moons...

Late at night.

In the largest bedroom of the suite.

Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing shared a room and had already fallen asleep.

Zhou Chen was still awake.

He left the bedroom, closing the door softly, and sat in the spacious living room. There, he began to call upon the system.

"System, come out."

"Ding... Your system is online. What services do you require, host?"

"Exchange all the gold soul coins I received today."

Zhou Chen whispered.

Indeed, he had acquired another ten thousand gold soul coins today.

These ten thousand gold soul coins were a gift from Hu Liena.

While the trio was dining in the Royal Hotel's VIP restaurant, Hu Liena suddenly produced an exquisite jade-carved necklace and gifted it to him, even personally helping him put it on.

Initially, Zhou Chen hesitated to accept it, feeling as though he was being kept.

But unable to refuse her kindness, he eventually accepted Hu Liena's gift.

Upon wearing it, he realized the necklace was no ordinary item—it was a valuable spatial soul guide!

Moreover, within the necklace's space, there were ten thousand gold soul coins.

According to Hu Liena, the ten thousand gold soul coins were his pocket money...

"Ding... Received 10,000 gold soul coins, converted into 10,000 gold points. Combined with the previous remaining gold points, a total of 17,034 gold points. Please verify, host."

The system prompt interrupted Zhou Chen's recollection, and he took a deep breath of excitement, saying, "Draw."

"Ding... Processing."

"Ding... Deducting 10,000 gold points for one draw."

In Zhou Chen's mind, a colorful roulette began to spin slowly.

"Ding... You have drawn a [Technique] reward: Imperial Seal Technique! This technique originates from the Battle Through the Heavens universe, created by an ancient Dou Emperor, capable of moving mountains and filling seas!"
