I really am a Titled Douluo

With a "plop," three creatures that lost Soul Power support collapsed powerlessly to the ground, bursting into glimmering specks of light that disappeared...

Lying on the ground alongside them was the Coffin Bearer, his eyes dull as he repeated the words in his mouth like a mantra, "Damn it... damn it! You... what on earth... method did you use! I... I refuse to accept this!"

"I... I refuse to accept this!"

Why, why had his Soul Power vanished into thin air?

Why had the petal of the Nine-Hearted Begonia, when it touched the creature he had summoned, absorbed his own Soul Power instead?

He absolutely refused to admit he had lost! It must be some despicable method this guy used!

Xu Sheng cast a calm glance at him, then looked up to Jia Le in the sky and softly said, "Is it time to announce the victor now?"

Standing on a floating board, Jia Le was startled at first, but the quick-witted man soon clapped his hands swiftly and shouted passionately into the microphone, "Now, I declare the winner of this match is... Nine-Hearted Begonia! Let us congratulate this powerful newcomer with a warm round of applause for his victory in his first match at the grand soul fighting arena!"

As his words fell, the enormous screen over the soul fighting arena instantly displayed Xu Sheng, his eyes adorned, and his entire presence exuding a touch of aloofness, seemingly becoming the brightest star of the Third Soul Fight Arena overnight.

With Jia Le's instigation, the entire spectator stand of the Third Soul Fight Arena rose to their feet, clapping loudly in unison...

"So cool... who could have thought that despite being so young, Nine-Hearted Begonia could be so powerful!"

"That's right, next time I'll bet on him, maybe I can make a big fortune!"

"Hahahaha! I'm rich! I'm rich! I bet five hundred golden soul coins on Nine-Hearted Begonia! At ten to one odds, I made four thousand five hundred golden soul coins, I'm wealthy now, so wealthy!!"

While some rejoiced, others were naturally in sorrow, especially those who had bet on the Coffin Bearer.

The man with a sullen face spat, "That Coffin Bearer is such a waste, couldn't even handle a child!"

The woman beside him clenched her fists and complained coquettishly, "Hmph, he made me lose a full thousand golden soul coins, I really want to kill this useless trash!"

"It's all over, my entire fortune! That was my entire fortune!"

Xu Sheng stretched lazily, glanced at Jia Le, and said indifferently, "Can I leave the stage now?"

Jia Le in the sky hurriedly nodded, "Of course, you can. The grand soul fighting arena welcomes you to come again anytime!"

"This kid will likely become a hot topic in the grand soul fighting arena after today..."

"There will be a chance," Xu Sheng murmured to himself, then turned around to leave the stage...

But unexpectedly, a sinister voice suddenly rang out from behind Xu Sheng—it was the Coffin Bearer who had just collapsed, now standing up and pulling out a dagger, lunging it towards the back of Xu Sheng's head...

Full of murderous intent, he snarled, "Kid, go to hell! I can't possibly lose!"

Jia Le in the sky felt his heart jump and noticed the Coffin Bearer's little movement, he quickly shouted into the microphone, "Watch your back!"

Xu Sheng, who was facing away, stopped in his tracks, silently shook his head, and then with a "snap," casually snapped his fingers and left without looking back...

Right behind him, the Coffin Bearer, who had been mere inches from piercing Xu Sheng's skull, was instantly engulfed by countless Nine-Hearted Begonia vines...

When the Nine-Hearted Begonia vanished once again, only a body drained of blood, and shriveled, was left in its place...

Sighs of awe rose from the audience, "Hiss... to think he could instantly eliminate the Coffin Bearer... Had he been holding back all this time?"

"This instant draining technique is too terrifying, lucky it wasn't me!"

"Who would have thought that the powerful Coffin Bearer would die just like that? Eh, I guess that team of seven coffin-bearers might as well disband now."

Who could have guessed he had always been hiding his true skills, and the Coffin Bearer ended up like this due to his own wrongdoing.

...

It was still that familiar waitress, handing a card to Xu Sheng with a smile, "Little brother, this is your winnings of a thousand golden soul coins, it's already been deposited into this card..."

The handsome little brother's opponent was none other than the Coffin Bearer, who often slaughtered his opponents. His combat experience was also extremely rich.

She hadn't expected him to win the fight, which came as a surprise.

Xu Sheng received the item, then flashed her a slight smile, "Thank you, Miss."

That irresistibly handsome young face nearly made her hormones lose control…

She suppressed the surging emotions and quietly thought, "Inhale… Exhale… Inhale… Is this what a heart attack feels like?"

Her face then showed reluctance, and with a flush, she said, "Um, little brother, will you come again in the future?"

Xu Sheng winked adorably, "Yep, I'll be coming here every afternoon for a while, so I'll trouble you, sister, to reserve a 1v1 soul fighting match for me in advance!"

Upon receiving Xu Sheng's confirmation, the female attendant joyfully gestured an OK, "Don't worry, leave it to your sister. I'll make sure all your opponents are somewhat normal!"

Just like that, Xu Sheng used his good looks to mooch off—no, to successfully bribe the female attendant.

…

Xu Sheng, lazily yawning as he exited the grand soul fighting arena, looked up at the pitch-dark sky and sighed, "Is it evening already? It's still a long way from the Aquipeia Forest!"

If he were to head to the Aquipeia Forest now, it'd probably be nearly dawn by the time he finished traveling.

With his naturally lazy personality, attending a soul fight at the grand soul fighting arena was effort enough to satisfy Bi Bidong…

How could he possibly spend more time running off to the Aquipeia Forest? Besides, the butterfly effect is so mystical; he might accidentally encounter a Titan Ape or a Sky Blue Bull Mammoth or something…

The next moment, Xu Sheng came up with an idea, "How about trying my luck in the Sunset Forest?"

The Sunset Forest was definitely much closer compared to the Aquipeia Forest, and it was also an easier place to locate.

After weighing which option would be less effort, he decided to head straight for the Sunset Forest…

…

In the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect's great hall.

At the main seat in the hall sat a man donning a sparkling, silver crystal laurel. His ethereal and cultured face naturally evoked a sense of closeness at first glance…

He was Ning Fengzhi, the Sect Master of the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect. To his left and right sat Sword Douluo, Chen Xin, and Bone Douluo, Gu Rong, respectively.

Both were Hyper Douluo above level 95 and were the pillars ensuring the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect's standing on the Continent!

Ning Fengzhi's gaze focused intently on the young girl in front of him, who, while pure in appearance and slender in figure, exuded a strong air of arrogance and aloofness.

In a gentle voice, Ning Fengzhi said, "Ning Rongrong, why haven't you absorbed your first soul ring yet?"

Upon hearing her father speak without a hint of anger, Ning Rongrong bit her lip in annoyance, countering, "Dad, the soul beasts that Bone Grandpa and Sword Grandpa hunted for me were too ugly! I didn't want them!"

Ning Fengzhi's brows furrowed as he said sharply, "Rongrong, you!"

Chen Xin covertly glanced at Ning Rongrong, coughed behind her hand, and said faintly, "Feng Zhi, this is my and old bone's oversight; we didn't consider Rongrong's feelings. Let's put this behind us. Tomorrow, I'll take Rongrong to hunt a different soul beast."

Gu Rong also stroked his beard with a smile, "Indeed, these are trifles, trifles. As long as our Ning Rongrong is happy, that's what matters!"

Having heard Chen Xin and Gu Rong speak up for her, Ning Rongrong gained confidence and puffed out her chest without fear...

Looking at Chen Xin and Gu Rong, who were so indulgent with his daughter, Ning Fengzhi sighed and said, "Rongrong, apologize to Sword Grandpa and Bone Grandpa. Let's not fuss over this matter…"

Ning Rongrong crossed her arms and scornfully replied, "I won't! It's clearly their fault!"

Finally losing his patience, Ning Fengzhi slammed the table with a "bang" and barked, "Rongrong, you're being too insolent!"
