Douluo: Reborn as a Dragon, I am the Lord of Soul Beasts

Chapter 19: The Master of Mingde Hall, the Holy Angel
Ying Qian took Gao Dalou to a bar across the street. This bar was much bigger than the store just now, but it was crowded with people. As soon as he entered the door, a strong and noisy atmosphere hit him in the face, which made Ying Qian feel very familiar.

After turning his head to look at the tall building, he felt like he was back home. He found an empty seat and sat down skillfully. Then he waved in the direction of Ying Qian, beckoning Ying Qian to come over and sit down.

Ying Qian stopped a bartender and said, "Excuse me, please help us find a quieter room. Price is not an issue, the main thing is quietness."

The bartender took a look at Ying Gan and found that Ying Gan was well-dressed and did not look like someone who could not pay. On the contrary, his friend was dressed sloppily. The originally fragrant bar inexplicably had a strange smell due to the arrival of the tall building.

Finally, the bartender led Ying Qian and Gao Dalou to the private room on the third floor. It was very large and there were two waitresses serving wine. To Ying Qian's surprise, Gao Dalou drove the two waitresses out and then sat down on the big, soft sofa.

Ying Qian said to the bartender, "Excuse me, please give me two glasses of all the drinks you have here."

The bartender frowned in confusion at the request, but nodded politely in agreement. He turned and walked to the bar to prepare the strange order.

Opposite the tall building, Ying Qian sat on a comfortable sofa, waiting for the drinks to be served. His eyes looked through the glass window at the building opposite. The tall building was brightly lit, and the prosperous scene came into view, but he seemed to be focused on a specific target.

Soon, the bartender came to Ying Qian with two drinks. He put down his glass and said with a smile, "Here are the drinks you ordered, sir."

Then, rows of maids entered the room one after another, their trays were filled with drinks. After putting down all the drinks, the bartender nodded slightly to Ying Qian. Ying Qian picked up the wine glass, looked at it carefully, and then nodded, indicating that the bartender could leave.

After the bartender left, he raised his glass and took a sip of the wine. As the wine flowed in his mouth, his brows gradually relaxed, as if he was thinking about something important.

"Hey, Brother Ying, are these for me?" After the bartender left, Gao Dalou couldn't wait any longer. He asked while rubbing his hands and staring at the wine on the table. It was as if the wine was a naked beauty in his eyes.

"Please do as you wish!" Ying Qian waved his hand.

After getting Ying Qian's permission, Gao Dalou immediately picked up a wine glass. He didn't have the habit of Ying Qian to drink it all in one gulp. Then he picked up another wine glass and started drinking it. It looked like a person who had been thirsty for a long time and finally got a drink of water.

"Big Building, do you want to drink like this every day?"

After a few drinks, Ying Qian felt that the time was about right, so he got straight to the point and stated his real purpose.

Hearing Ying Qian's words, Gao Dalou finished the wine in his hand and said, "Sha! I want to! Of course I want to, but the wine here is not cheap. So much wine, it cost Brother Ying a lot today."

"Haha, it doesn't matter whether it's expensive or not. I just heard that you are a fourth-level soul engineer in the building!" Ying Qian continued to ask.

"Yes, I am." Gao Dalou nodded.

"Then how did you fall to such a state? I see that you are not very old, right? You are already a fourth-level soul engineer at such a young age. With such a talent, why don't you join an academy or a force?" Ying Qian asked step by step.

"Hey!" Hearing this, Gao Dalou put down the wine glass in his hand and said, "Brother Ying, you don't know that when I was a child, it was my father who taught me the ability of a soul guide. Our lineage is a single-line inheritance. It is a bit like a sect, but without the strength of a sect. My father thought that he was capable enough to teach me, so he didn't let me go to the elementary soul guide academy at the beginning. I broke through to the third-level soul guide at the age of fourteen, but my father died suddenly. It was horrible. He was a miser and put all his belongings in the storage soul guide device. My mother died early, and after his death, our family became penniless, and I became a lonely person."

"I'm already this old, so I definitely won't meet the requirements to go to any soul guide academy. But if I join a sect, most sects can't meet my needs for rare metals. As a result, I've fallen to this point. I can only do odd jobs and survive at the bottom of this city."

After hearing this, Ying Qian roughly understood. Indeed, it is very expensive to support a soul engineer. It is not that the big companies cannot afford to support a decent soul engineer. Not to mention the huge demand for rare metals by soul engineers, even the metals used in the daily experiments of soul engineers are also a huge consumption after accumulating day after day and year after year.

"Dalou, do you want to work with me? As long as you follow me, it will not be difficult for you to enter the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy?" Ying Qian took the opportunity to extend an olive branch.

"Sure! As long as I can drink like this every day, I don't care whether I join the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy or not. After all, I have been lazy over the years, and I can't accept the rules of the academy." Gao Dalou agreed very readily.

"Haha, OK, OK, OK, let's drink." Ying Qian laughed and did not continue to persuade him. He recovered Gao Dalou and found an opportunity to put him into the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy in the future. With Gao Dalou's talent, he could only be truly developed in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy. It was much more promising than going to the Tang Sect in the original book.

Gradually, the two drank faster and faster, and the empty glasses beside them were all over the floor. But even so, Gao Dalou still managed to stay drunk and said to Ying Qian: "Brother Ying, when you meet a bosom friend, a thousand cups are not enough. I didn't expect you to be a great drinker. From now on, I, Gao Dalou, will follow you. If you tell me to go east, I will never go west. If you tell me to go south, I will never go north."

Ying Qian did not pay much attention to Gao Dalou's drunken talk. Instead, he carried him to the counter below the bar with one hand. After paying for the drinks, Ying Qian took Gao Dalou to a nearby hotel. After handing the unconscious Gao Dalou to the hotel staff, Ying Qian lay on the bed with a dazed head.

For Ying Qian, the rare alcohol paralysis made him reluctant to use his soul power to catalyze the alcohol. Occasional indulgence could also allow Ying Qian to relax his body and mind better.

Silent all night.

The next day, early in the morning, Ju Zi had already changed into the school uniform of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy and was ready. The reason was simple, because today her teacher was invited to the palace by Xu Tianran, and the purpose was naturally to help Ye Guyi awaken his martial soul and then arrange for his admission.

So, Juzi got up early in the morning and packed everything. Rang Yu came to the outside of Ye Guyi's room, knocked on the door gently and said, "Guyi, are you up? Teacher Xuan is here to awaken your martial soul today."

"If you don't say anything, I'll just come in?" After waiting for a while and getting no response, Ju Zi had to open the door on her own initiative. In the room, Ye Guyi had already packed everything and sat on the bed obediently. Her delicate face looked like a doll.

Seeing Ye Guyi who had already prepared everything, Orange shook her head helplessly. She was helpless about Ye Guyi, the taciturn little girl.

Juzi skillfully led Ye Guyi through the palace, and finally, under the guidance of the guards, they arrived at the main hall of Xu Tianran. There were other servants here, and when they saw Juzi, they immediately went inside to report without any instructions.

"Orange is here? Come in."

The door of the side hall opened wide, and the servant came out in a panic, bowed respectfully to Orange, and made a gesture of invitation.

The main hall was magnificent yet simple, with eight-clawed fire dragon patterns everywhere on the furnishings. Behind the desk, a young man in white sat behind the desk. He looked at her and Ye Guyi next to him with gentle eyes. This person was Xu Tianran.

After just one night's rest, Xu Tianran's complexion became better and better, which made people wonder whether Xu Tianran was injured.

There was another person sitting next to Xu Tianran. He was not tall, but very fat, wearing a gorgeous black robe with golden embroidery. With his hands behind his back, he looked at Ju Zi and Ye Guyi with a smile. Wasn't he the head of Mingde Hall of Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, and the real person in charge of Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy?

"Your Highness, Hall Master."

After seeing the man clearly, Juzi did not dare to be negligent and immediately saluted.

"Yes! I know you, you are Teacher Xuan's student." Jing Hongchen still had a little secret on his face, and looked very kind.

At this time, Xu Tianran also spoke up, "Juzi, don't be restrained. Today, I specially invited the head of Hongchen Hall."

Hearing Xu Tianran's words, Juzi was confused for a moment and looked at Xu Tianran blankly. The head of Mingde Hall was very important in the empire. Many princes wanted to make friends with him. For this reason, His Majesty the Emperor even issued a decree that no royal family member could have contact with Mingde Hall. No one dared to violate this.

So today, why was the Master of Hongchen Hall suddenly invited by Xu Tianran?
Xu Tianran seemed to have seen through Juzi's inner doubts, and he smiled dumbly and said, "I originally planned to invite your teacher, Teacher Xuan, to come. But he is currently involved in the development of a confidential soul guide at Mingde Hall, so he can't spare the time this time. I have no choice but to ask Master Hongchen to come."

"Although Master Hongchen is the master of Mingde Hall, he is also one of the teachers of Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy. I happened to enter the palace this time, so I shamelessly troubled Master Hongchen."

"Haha! What are you talking about, Your Highness? Discovering and training talents for the empire is my job." Jing Hongchen smiled on the surface, but he was cursing in his heart.

I happened to go to the palace to report my work today, and after I finished, I ran into Xu Tianran. He dragged me here to do some martial soul awakening. If possible, Jing Hongchen didn't want to have any dealings with these princes in the palace.

You have to know that the princes here are not easy to deal with! Especially this seemingly humble and polite Xu Tianran. Jing Hongchen already knew about the assassination of the fourth prince of the Sun and Moon Empire in the Demon Forest when Xu Tianran returned to the palace.

The death of Xu Ji, the leader of the royal guards, was also known to Jing Hongchen this morning. This made the situation in the Zen Hall suddenly become unclear. Originally, Xu Tianran's position in the royal family of the Sun Moon Empire was as solid as a rock, and his succession to the throne was almost certain, but this assassination announced that there were princes in the royal family who were dissatisfied with Xu Tianran's upcoming succession to the throne of the crown prince.

The battle for the throne has already begun, and Jing Hongchen doesn't want to get involved in this mess. After all, as the head of Mingde Hall, as long as he remains neutral, no matter who ascends the throne in the end, he will be the one who is won over.

Thinking of this, Jing Hongchen suddenly felt a little uneasy. He should leave this place of trouble as soon as possible. The longer he stayed with Xu Tianran, the more outsiders would talk about him.

"This little girl must be the one that Your Highness asked me to help with today! Let's get started without further ado!" Jing Hongchen stood up and said.

"Please go ahead, Master Hongchen." Xu Tianran also stood up and said respectfully to Jing Hongchen.

Jing Hongchen quickly came to Ye Guyi and took out a crystal ball from his storage soul guide.

Then he squatted down and said to Ye Guyi, "I will activate this crystal ball in a moment. You put your hand gently on it and carefully feel the power hidden in your body. Don't be afraid of it. Control it. Okay?"

Ye Guyi nodded gently, indicating that he understood.

"Okay, let's get started!"

Jing Hongchen placed the crystal ball in front of Ye Guyi. As his soul power slowly poured into the crystal ball, the originally turbid crystal ball became clear at this moment.

Ye Guyi also gently placed his right hand on the crystal ball. The next second, the inside of the crystal ball suddenly became dazzling, and then the holy golden-white light began to radiate from Ye Guyi's body.

"Is this the holy light that contains a sacred aura?" Even Jing Hongchen, who had been calm and composed, became curious.

He looked at the crystal ball in his hand, and sure enough, a blurry figure appeared inside the crystal ball, and on the back of that figure, there was a pair of white wings. And that dazzling light undoubtedly represented the best talent of the soul master, the innate full soul power!
