Chapter 227: "That title is quite unique!"
"Great Worship?"
Even if they hadn't met Qian Daoliu, as members of the Golden Generation, they had heard of the legendary Great Worship.
The Great Worship was a peerless figure, a Rank 99 Limit Douluo!
That "young man" earlier... actually knew the Great Worship?
Wait a minute—he addressed Elder Chrysanthemum by name, clearly aware of Elder Chrysanthemum's strength, yet he still showed no respect...
Thinking about it carefully, could that "young man" actually be an old monster?
"You don't need to overthink this. Since he didn't act earlier, it means he really took the Great Worship into account and didn't hold your actions against you youngsters," Yue Guan said, patting Yan on the shoulder with a helpless expression.
Yan was unlucky. If he hadn't made a move to placate the other party's anger, he could have been in serious danger!
Even if the person didn't kill Yan immediately, there was no guarantee he wouldn't quietly dispose of him later.
For someone stronger than Yan, killing a Soul King would be as effortless as breathing.
"But, Elder, why does he look so young..." Yan asked, confused.
Hearing this, Yue Guan twitched slightly. He didn't know about the other titled Douluo, but hadn't they met Her Majesty the Supreme Pontiff?
Did Bibi Dong look like a woman in her forties?
"The stronger a Titled Douluo is, the more they can reverse the aging process. Don't be fooled by his appearance—he may look like a teenager, but he's probably older than me!"
"Uh..."
The three suddenly understood. So that's how it was.
They had been puzzled as to why Kong looked so young yet was so powerful...
Wait, how did Elder Chrysanthemum know that "old monster" earlier was so strong?
Of course, they couldn't ask that question.
Suddenly, Yue Guan seemed to recall something and said, "The purpose of this trip has been achieved. You can either stay in Heaven Dou City to observe your opponents or return to the Spirit Hall—it's up to you."
"As long as your lives aren't in danger, I'll stay hidden and won't intervene."
Their mission was to deliver a message to Heaven Dou City, changing the finals' venue to Spirit City.
Yue Guan was responsible for Heaven Dou Empire, while Ghost Douluo handled Star Luo Empire.
Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan, who had nothing else to do, had accompanied Chrysanthemum Douluo to Heaven Dou City to scout for potential dark horses who might become their opponents.
This was what Bibi Dong had instructed Yue Guan to tell them before leaving for Heaven Dou City.
It was also meant to serve as a form of training for the three.
After a moment of thought, Xie Yue remained silent, glancing at Hu Liena. Yan said, "Nana, we'll listen to you!"
"Let's stay and look around Heaven Dou City," Hu Liena decided.
To be honest, the events of today were somewhat surreal, leaving them momentarily unsure how to process everything.
A "young man" had suddenly turned into someone they couldn't afford to offend—utterly baffling!
Thinking it over, Hu Liena wasn't entirely wrong in her decision. The real issue lay with Yan. If he hadn't been so talkative and provoked the other party, none of this would have happened.
Fine, Hu Liena wasn't about to examine her own behavior—she had also taunted Kong...
Only Xie Yue, who remained silent, left a neutral impression. While not overly friendly, he didn't offend anyone like Yan did.
"If you encounter that man again, make sure not to be disrespectful. We still don't know the full extent of his abilities."
"Who is he, anyway? He's hidden himself so well!" Yue Guan frowned, deeply concerned. The sudden appearance of such a powerful Douluo might disrupt the Spirit Hall's plans and strategies.
With someone like Kong, unless Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo joined forces—or unless the Worship Hall's members took action—there was no way to deal with him!
"Thank you for the reminder, Elder Chrysanthemum!"
The three quickly expressed their gratitude. However, a trace of grievance flickered in Yan's eyes. You're so powerful—why pretend to be a young man?
Kong: "..."
At a hotel—one where Kong had stayed before visiting Heaven Dou Imperial Academy—the hotel's owner and head chef, who was half his apprentice, eagerly greeted him.
"Master! I've been waiting and waiting, and finally, you've graced us with your presence!"
The head chef, now sixty-eight years old, addressing Kong as "Master" was perfectly fine, but calling him "elderly sir" felt a bit off. Realizing this, the words barely left his mouth before he quickly corrected himself.
Kong helplessly patted his forehead. Elderly sir?
This was the chef's way of showing respect, but wasn't it a bit too respectful?
"The preliminaries have nothing to do with me. I came over to try your cooking," Kong said with a shrug.
At this moment, most people in Heaven Dou City were either at the Spirit Arena or gathered outside it, eager to find out if the team or contestant they supported had won their match.
Aside from the Spirit Arena area, the rest of Heaven Dou City was relatively quiet, especially during the daytime.
The city would only regain its liveliness after the day's matches concluded.
"I've always said, Master, being a soul master isn't for you. Why not bring your cooking skills to the pinnacle instead…"
The chef muttered under his breath but quickly grinned and added, "Alright then, I'll get everything ready! Please critique my work!"
In his heart, nothing could compare to the charm of culinary arts. As for soul power—what was that even worth?
It was rather peculiar. In his younger days, he had cherished his soul power above all else, but after reaching a bottleneck in the thirties, his progress had stalled.
Only then did he devote himself to the study of cooking, and although his soul power barely advanced, his culinary skills improved dramatically.
Recently, however, something had changed. After adjusting his mindset, not only did his cooking skills soar to new heights, but his soul power had unknowingly reached level forty!
While becoming a powerhouse was likely out of the question, achieving the status of a food-type Soul King might just be possible.
That said, the chef wasn't particularly concerned about his soul power anymore. If he had spare time, he'd rather spend it refining recipes…
After the chef left, Kong was about to head into the kitchen for a look when a figure suddenly appeared in his line of sight.
"Huh? What are you doing here?"
Kong couldn't hide his surprise. Why was Qian Renxue here?
Disguised as Xue Qinghe, she should have been at the Spirit Arena!
As the "Crown Prince," how could she not attend such an event?
"I missed you!"
Qian Renxue blinked playfully and quickly stepped up to Kong, throwing her arms around him.
"…"
Kong returned the embrace, deciding not to question why she was here.
After a long while, the two finally separated.
"You ran into that bitch and Yue Guan, didn't you?"
Qian Renxue asked, feigning ignorance. It was precisely because of this incident that she had hurried over in such a rush.
In her heart, Kong was her husband. How could he be offended by mere members of the Golden Generation?
She couldn't let this situation make Kong develop a negative impression of Spirit Hall!
Hearing her words, Kong suddenly understood. Clearly, one of Qian Renxue's informants had reported the earlier events, prompting her to rush over to prevent any misunderstandings.
Her way of addressing Hu Liena was certainly… unique.
