Kapitel 103: Little Ghost
Zhongli touched his chin, as if lost in thought.
After a moment, he finally spoke, "From a general standpoint, Elder Gui..."
"Lord, please just call me Little Ghost. Elder Gui is too much!"
Before Zhongli could finish his words, Ghost hurriedly interjected.
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned.
Little Ghost?
Heh...
This Ghost Douluo is a terrifying existence at level 95!
Little Ghost?
Throughout the entire Douluo Continent, there might be only a handful of people who dare to call him that.
Yue Guan turned his head slightly, suddenly feeling as if he didn't know Ghost at all.
It was as if they had just met.
For decades, they had feared, they had trembled, but never had they stooped so low!
Even in the presence of the elders, they had only maintained the necessary decorum.
Alright, alright, Ghost, well done!
You sly devil, hiding this from your brother!
Bowing and scraping? It depends on whom you're facing!
Sitting before them was not just a level 98... no, scratch that, this person was definitely at level 99!
Even if he wasn't, he possessed the battle prowess of a level 99!
Sitting before them was the Martial God Douluo, a dual martial soul master with a hundred-thousand-year-old spirit ring.
The first person to achieve a second awakening of their innate martial soul!
Most importantly, he was so approachable, deserving of their utmost respect!
If only they had such a leader!
Thinking about Qian Xunji, then about Bibi Dong, Specter and Yue Guan felt a bit weary.
Upon hearing this, Zhongli's eyebrow twitched slightly, and his gaze toward Ghost held a hint of something unusual.
As expected of the upper echelons of the Spirit Hall, courteous and articulate...
Such people are valuable assets anywhere.
"In that case, there's no need for everyone to call me Lord Martial God. Just use my name."
"Understood, Lord Martial God!" x2
Alright, alright, just like Chi Yu, huh?
Committed to being persistent!
You hear, you agree, but you don't follow through!
You can't really blame Ghost and Yue Guan; the gap in strength was simply too vast for them to dare to overstep.
One must know, there are many rules on the Douluo Continent!
For instance, commoners must show respect when they encounter spirit masters or nobles. Otherwise, spirit masters or nobles who kill commoners would be deemed blameless!
The weak must show respect to the strong, or the strong would have a justified reason to strike!
Only those who reach the rank of Titled Douluo are entitled to be called 'Your Eminence.' Anyone who claims this title without the requisite strength risks offending all Titled Douluo!
If it weren't for the protection of fortune, those like the Shrek group would have died countless times over.
"In your case, it does indeed count as an innate martial soul, and there is a possibility for a second awakening."
Zhongli said directly.
If Ghost's situation had been cultivated from a young age, his potential would be terrifying!
Reaching a state like Ten Thousand Years later Without Du Bisi would not be an issue.
However, as his spirit rings were now fixed, unless he found some powerful spirit bones or methods to enhance the spirit rings' years, his potential might be limited...
Of course, if he completed a second awakening of his innate martial soul, Ghost's strength would increase significantly.
If his martial soul evolved, his potential would be incredibly high, even if not as much as if cultivated from childhood.
As soon as Zhongli finished speaking, Ghost released a bit of his aura, glancing around the surroundings.
Everyone: "..."
Though they couldn't see Ghost's face, they understood what he meant.
It seemed they had no choice but to leave.
The wise recognize the times!
Everyone discreetly settled their bills with the shop owner and quietly left.
Within moments, everyone, including the shop owner, had cleared out.
This was the might of a Titled Douluo!
The spies felt regretful that they couldn't hear the secret about the innate martial soul, but there was nothing they could do.
After everyone had left, Ghost stood up, knelt on one knee toward Zhongli, and respectfully said, "Please teach me, Lord Martial God!"
This was already touching upon the core secrets of spirit masters, knowledge that wasn't available to just anyone. Even personal disciples might not necessarily have access to such secrets, which speaks volumes about its value.
Kneeling on one knee was a formal gesture of respect for a teacher.
Seeing this, Zhongli fell into a moment of silence.
He looked at Ghost, who was kneeling on the ground, and became lost in thought.
Yue Guan grew anxious at this sight.
The phrase "Ghost and Chrysanthemum are one" was not just empty words.
They were truly brothers who could trust each other with their lives.
Yue Guan also stood up, quickly walked over to Ghost's side, and knelt on one knee, just like him. With a solemn expression, he said, "If Lord agrees, I, Yue Guan, swear by my martial soul that I will follow any order you give, even if it means climbing a mountain of blades or walking through a sea of fire!"
"Yue Guan, you..."
Ghost was slightly surprised and glanced at Yue Guan.
Then, he understood why Yue Guan was doing this.
"Ghost and Chrysanthemum are one" was not just a saying.
If the situation were reversed, he would have done the same for Yue Guan.
"Lord, I, Ghost, swear by my martial soul that without your consent, I will never divulge your teachings. Furthermore, I will follow any command without hesitation!"
Swearing by one's martial soul was the most severe oath one could make on the Douluo Continent.
The stronger the individual, the more they believed in it.
If the oath were broken, retribution would certainly follow.
Zhongli: "..."
He had just been thinking about how to achieve a second awakening for Ghost's martial soul in such circumstances and never imagined that Ghost and Chrysanthemum would go to such lengths.
"Sigh~"
Paimon, who was eating, looked bewildered and glanced back and forth between Yue Guan and Specter, her face full of confusion.
Does one need to kneel down and swear just to ask for advice?
Not only that, but they had to take an oath?
Paimon's small head was filled with big questions.
It was normal for her not to understand this.
She didn't know the harsh realities of the Douluo Continent.
There were countless examples where father and son turned against each other or brothers betrayed one another for a mere spirit bone.
Let alone knowledge of core martial secrets—such knowledge could even establish a powerful sect.
The newly established Body Sect: "..."
Forget such knowledge—even ordinary spirit master information was considered a treasure by families and factions.
Who would "selflessly" publish such things like Yu Xiaogang did?
After all, it took countless lives and experiments to obtain this information!
How could outsiders be allowed to know?
If Zhongli weren't so powerful, who knows how many people would be trying to seize this knowledge!
Zhongli waved his hand, and an invisible force lifted Ghost and Yue Guan from the ground.
"There's no need for this, you two…"
"No, it is necessary!"
Zhongli: "..."
To Zhongli, this knowledge wasn't anything special.
Even if it were made public, it wouldn't matter.
No matter who came to ask, as long as they were sincere in seeking guidance, he would offer some advice.
But if someone came with ill intent, he wouldn't be so kind; he still had some temper that hadn't been worn down.
"The second awakening of an innate martial soul requires constantly hovering on the brink of death to stimulate the body's potential."
"Only then is there a chance for a second awakening."
