Surviving Until the Grand Finale of Douluo

Chapter 1: Duel Equals Crossing Over?



Translated By- Gingerboi

Douluo Continent is a world where hundreds of flowers bloom, yet one stands out above the rest!

Here, there is no splendid magic; what we have are only rudimentary swordsmanship, spear techniques, and a profession revered by all on the continent—Soul Masters.

 

Martial Soul are the unique phenomenon of the Douluo Continent. From nobles and aristocrats to common folks, regardless of status or rank, everyone awakens their Martial Soulat the age of six. Upon awakening, a Martial Soul belonging solely to oneself appears.

 

If there’s even a trace of innate soul power, one can become a Soul Master through cultivation. If one possesses innate soul power of Level 6 or above, then congratulations, you’re a genius.

 

Soul Masters can hunt down unique creatures of the Douluo Continent called soul beasts to obtain a halo-like item known as a soul ring. This soul ring will generate skills and soul techniques the soul beast possessed in its lifetime.

 

Soul rings produced by soul beasts with ten years of cultivation are white, those with a hundred years are yellow, a thousand years are purple, ten thousand years are black, a hundred thousand years are red, and a million years are gold.

 

The number of soul rings a Soul Master has on their body can indicate their level: from one soul ring to nine soul rings, they are respectively called Soul Master, Great Soul Master, Soul Ancestor, Soul Elder, Soul King, Soul Emperor, Soul Saint, Soul Douluo, and Title Douluo.

 

Although the strengths of soul techniques vary, some can break down city walls, while others are only fit for farming.

 

However, it’s undeniable that the more and higher-level Soul Masters a faction possesses, the stronger it becomes. Hence, numerous sects have arisen on the Douluo Continent.

 

Among them, the most representative forces on the continent are the Spirit Hall, Heavenly Dou Empire, Star Luo Empire, Clear Sky Clan, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, and Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. These six powers are the strongest on the continent.

 

Clear Sky Clan, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, and Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan primarily focus on bloodlines and the inheritance of soul abilities. On the other hand, Heavenly Dou Empire and Star Luo Empire revolve around the noble class and the royal family.

 

However, the Spirit Hall is different. Established by the Angel God, it has a unique policy of aiding commoners in awakening their abilities for free and recruiting them to enhance its strength. After many years of development, it has become the foremost power on the continent.

 

The elderly man was accompanied by a middle-aged man with golden hair and sharp eyes, appearing to be in his forties. Looking at their brows and expressions, they shared some similar features.

 

These two individuals are the current Supreme Pontiff of the Spirit Hall, Qian Cunxun, and his son, Qian Chongguang.

 

At this moment, Qian Cunxun, who was usually composed and calm, had lost his usual demeanor. Anxious as ever, he could only use pacing as a way to ease his tension.

 

Observing Qian Cunxun’s restless pacing, Qian Chongguang couldn’t help but speak up,

“Father, all this pacing is making me dizzy. There are so many experienced midwives and healing soul masters inside. Why do you seem to be getting agitated.”

 

Qian Cunxun replied, “As a father, I naturally understand. It’s just that your mother’s health hasn’t been good in recent years, and she’s also getting older. How can I not be worried?”

 

Qian Chongguang nodded. Despite his appearance of being in his forties or fifties, his true age was already over eighty. It was his profound cultivation that made him seem younger.

 

Just as the father and son were conversing, an invisible light silently entered the room.

 

“Waaah!”

 

“Master, the Madam has given birth. It’s a boy.”

 

The sound of a crying infant echoed from inside the room. The father and son exchanged a glance and hurriedly rushed inside.

 

On the bed inside the room lay a middle-aged woman with an exquisite face, but she appeared pale and was covered in sweat, breathing heavily.

 

This approach makes Heavenly Dou Empire and Star Luo Empire extremely wary. These two powers are conglomerates of nobility and royalty, built upon the exploitation of the commoners’ interests.

 

The Spirit Hall’s actions are, in essence, uprooting the foundations of the two empires. Consequently, these empires view the Spirit Hall as a thorn in their side and a constant irritation.

 

However, due to the fact that the Spirit Hall was established by the Angel God, the two empires can only temporarily swallow their pride. Moreover, they have designated a territory the size of a province at their border as a free zone under the administration of the Spirit Hall.

 

The Spirit City serves as the headquarters of the Spirit Hall, a city built around a mountain. The iconic structure halfway up the mountain is the Pontiff’s Hall, while at the mountain’s peak stands the Douluo Hall.

 

The Pontiff’s Hall is the residence of the highest ruler, the Pontiff, in the Spirit Hall. The Douluo Hall is where all the deceased Title Douluos of the entire continent are laid to rest, colloquially known as the tombs of Title Douluos.

 

In the southeastern part of the Spirit City, within a large residence, an elderly man with white hair, a slender figure, and dressed in a golden robe that makes him appear to be around eighty or ninety years old, paces anxiously outside a room. The occasional sounds emanating from within the room make him even more agitated.

 

Although he was caught off guard by suddenly having a younger brother at almost a hundred years old, Qian Chongguang’s predominant feeling was joy.

 

Despite the fact that their Qian family of the Spirit Hall was grand and illustrious, the lineage had been scarce since the time of the Angel God Ancestor.

 

Having an additional younger brother not only allowed him to experience being an older brother but also enabled him to assist in protecting and upholding the glory of the Angel God. For him, it was a desirable outcome.

 

Zhou Yun suggested, “He can also have the character ‘Ling’ in his name, making it Qian Chongling!”

 

The descendants of the Spirit Hall’s Qian family followed a genealogy of sixteen characters: “Suppress Evil Spirits with Divine Power, Eternally Lasting, Radiant Light Never Wanes, Seek the Distant Path of Dao.”

 

At this joyous moment, the family hadn’t noticed that the baby beside Zhou Yun had stopped crying. The infant opened his eyes, gazing at them with his ocean-blue pupils, seemingly lost in the moment.

 

“I was just having an intense and thrilling Yu-Gi-Oh! duel with Old Wang last night, summoning my fists for an attacking move, about to win! Then everything went black in front of my eyes.”

 

“Where is this again? And why is my body so small?”
