Douluo Dalu 4: Ultimate Fighting

TL: BluVerse

Proofreading: DreamerChrysalis

Lan Xuanyu stood up and walked to Yu Muchen, saying, “General Yu, just being the heir of the Life School might indeed be insufficient to persuade you. However, contrary to what you said, I am not only the heir of the Life School; I am also part of the group chosen to be the next generation of the Shrek Seven Monsters.”

Yu Muchen was momentarily stunned. “You? Part of the Shrek Seven Monsters?”

“Yes. Moreover, I am an interstellar fighter pilot with the title of Super God 58,” Lan Xuanyu said seriously.

Super God 58?

Hearing this title, Yu Muchen's eyes immediately brightened. He knew exactly what Super God 58 meant, being a high-ranking military officer himself. The title of "Super God" was held by only the top 100 pilots in the entire Federation.

Lan Xuanyu was only eighteen. The peak age for fighter pilots was between 30 and 40. Reaching the pinnacle of fighter piloting in the entire Federation at such a young age was indicative of his exceptional talent in warship command.

The ability to pilot interstellar fighters was strongly correlated with the ability to command warships. Essentially, a warship was a larger, more complex fighter craft in space.

An excellent fighter pilot needed exceptional control skills, keen battlefield awareness, strong strategic thinking, and the ability to manage the overall situation—qualities also essential for a warship commander.

Almost all excellent warship commanders started as fighter pilots. While not all warship commanders were top-tier fighter pilots, nearly all top-tier fighter pilots were excellent warship commanders.

An 18-year-old Super God-level fighter pilot was unheard of, even for Yu Muchen.

“Super God 58 can be verified. But I cannot verify your claim of being one of the next Shrek Seven Monsters. I only have your word.. How can you prove it?” Yu Muchen asked seriously, his gaze intensifying on Lan Xuanyu.

If Lan Xuanyu was indeed one of the Shrek Seven Monsters, his three promises would be significantly valuable. Even without targeting Shrek Academy or the Tang Sect, they would be a considerable asset to the War God Temple. Moreover, these promises were personal guarantees to Yu Muchen.

Lan Xuanyu pursed his lips, and his demeanor changed abruptly. He spread his arms out to his sides, and from his palms, golden-patterned Blue Silver Grass and silver-patterned Blue Silver Grass emerged. Soft golden and silver auras rose simultaneously from his palms.

“Twin martial souls!” Yu Muchen's eyes brightened even more. He shouted, “Still not enough!”

Golden and silver light converged at Lan Xuanyu’s chest, and a wave of rainbow-colored light rippled out from the center of his chest. A deep heartbeat echoed, and with each beat, Lan Xuanyu's aura surged immensely.

Even Yu Muchen, with his profound cultivation, could clearly sense the terrifying and powerful energy emanating from Lan Xuanyu's bloodline. Multicolored scales emerged from Lan Xuanyu’s body, quickly covering him completely, his aura rising to an extraordinarily formidable level.

“A self-soul fusion technique and a peak-level bloodline! Very impressive! But it’s still not enough; you only have five rings…”

As Yu Muchen spoke, he saw Lan Xuanyu’s soul rings.

One by one, blood-red soul rings rose from Lan Xuanyu’s feet: one, two, three, four, five!

Yes, he had only five soul rings, but each of these rings was blood-red, signifying a hundred-thousand-year level.

As a true god-level powerhouse, Yu Muchen could instantly tell that these were not illusions; they were genuinely hundred-thousand-year soul rings!

A hundred-thousand-year soul ring was the dream of every soul master and a testament to immense power.

At that moment, Yu Muchen felt as if something was caught in his throat; he couldn’t utter a single word.

Hundred-thousand-year soul rings were not unheard of. However, to have five simultaneously, and more astonishingly, to have the first ring itself at the hundred-thousand-year level—what could this mean? Was this unprecedented?

Historically, it seemed only the founder of the Tang Sect, the Sea God Tang San, who was regarded as the strongest ancestor of modern humans, had achieved this feat. However, he did so only around the time he ascended to godhood, evolving all his rings to the hundred-thousand-year level.

But this young man in front of him had only five soul rings, and all of them were already at the hundred-thousand-year level. What could this signify? Even Yu Muchen couldn’t fathom it. This was beyond mere genius; this was a true anomaly!

If someone like this couldn't become one of the Shrek Seven Monsters, then what kind of person could? The Federation knew about the upcoming change in the Shrek Seven Monsters. Because the Shrek Seven Monsters were so crucial to Shrek Academy, and even to the Federation, Shrek Academy had to report to the Federation when they changed members.

The reason for this upcoming change was simple: the Dragon Horse Galaxy had too many powerful individuals. Shrek Academy needed to select the most outstanding talents for training, aiming to nurture more god-level powerhouses to face potential future wars.

Five hundred-thousand-year soul rings! Nothing could be more convincing. Furthermore, this child possessed twin martial souls, and each of his arms had five blood-red soul rings. This meant not just five but ten hundred-thousand-year soul rings!

How was this possible? How could this be achieved? Not even Shrek Academy, nor the Spirit Pagoda, which had done the most research on spirit souls and spirit rings, could accomplish this!

At this moment, the aura and cultivation level that Lan Xuanyu emitted far exceeded that of a Soul King. It was comparable to that of an eight-ring Soul Douluo.

The mystery unveiled, Yu Muchen finally understood why Shrek Academy valued this young man so highly. He deserved it!

He was the heir of the School of Life, a candidate for the Shrek Seven Monsters, and possessed formidable talent. Almost every possible accolade was embodied in him. What did it matter if he had only five rings now? When he eventually had nine, or even ten rings, how powerful would he become?

This wasn't just the talent of a Shrek Seven Monster; it was the talent of a future leader among the Shrek Seven Monsters!

Yu Muchen knew the current leader of the Shrek Seven Monsters. Although both of them were true god-level powerhouses, he was well aware that he was no match for that person. In the not-too-distant future, when this young man truly matured, his promises would be worth more than gold.

With this realization, Yu Muchen no longer hesitated. He sat back in his chair, took a sip of tea to calm his slightly agitated emotions, and said, “I believe you have successfully persuaded me. I accept your three promises. I can also assure you that I will keep your situation confidential. Even within the War God Temple, only I will know. This confidentiality will last until you achieve godhood.”

Sighing, Yu Muchen added sincerely, “In terms of nurturing talent, even though the War God Temple receives the Federation's full support and resources, we are still no match for Shrek!”

As Lan Xuanyu retracted his Dragon God Transformation and soul rings, he knew he had won his gamble. He had risked revealing his abilities, not just betting on Yu Muchen's agreement, which he felt confident about, but betting that Yu Muchen would value him enough to keep his secret.

He bent down and bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle. “Thank you, General Yu. If you can help me rescue Teacher Nana, I will remember your great kindness and virtue for life. In the future, if you ever need anything, as long as it is within my power, I will do my utmost to fulfill it.”
