"Title… Titled Douluo!?"
Wells abruptly stood up, a look of astonishment etched in his slightly aged eyes!
In just over a decade,Lan had leaped directly from Soul Emperor to Titled Douluo?!
How old was he?
Even the continent's foremost genius, Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao, who had brutally assaulted the Spirit Hall's Pope decades ago, only reached the Titled Douluo realm at the age of forty-four.
The rest of the Titled Douluos were at least in their seventies or eighties.
Genius, no, that word barely captures Lan's talent.
Lan might be the greatest genius this continent has ever seen!
Wells' heart surged with shock!
There were fewer than ten Titled Douluos in the entire continent!
Each one stood at the pinnacle of the continent, worthy of any unwavering invitation!
Furthermore, Lan possessed three hundred thousand year old spirit rings!
And the rest of the spirit rings seemed to have surpassed the age limit for each stage!
Such a being would stand tall, not only in the Star Luo Empire, but even across the entire continent!
Wells understood the meaning of Lan's words.
The young man who had sacrificed his freedom, desperately searching for light in the darkness, now possessed the power to break free from the shackles of fate.
Not only would he, the former Black Ice Commander, but even the Star Luo Emperor would never provoke Lan, and would certainly treat him as a guest of honor!
Lan sheathed his martial spirit and spirit rings, slowly approached Wells, and picked up the secret letter.
His eyes, framed by his tangled white hair, were remarkably calm.
He channeled spirit power through his fingertips, and the letter shattered into a cloud of confetti.
"I accept the mission.
From now on, the name Lan will no longer be associated with the Star Luo Empire,"
Lan said, turning and leaving the office.
Wells stared at Lan's retreating figure, stunned for a moment, then burst into a relieved laugh.
His laughter was devoid of irony or sadness, but rather of joy.
He was genuinely happy for Lan.
Ten years ago, Wells retired not because of age, but because he had fought for Lan to be freed from the Black Ice contract, angering the Star Luo Emperor and forcibly dismissed from his position.
He had assumed Lan still needed his help, but now it seemed he no longer did.
Wells pulled a slightly yellowed piece of paper from his pocket.
It was the contract Lan had signed that year.
The price of completing one final mission was freedom.
Wells struck a match and lit the contract.
The brilliant flame enveloped the paper, devouring it, and then turned it into a pitch-black darkness, slowly dissipating with the breeze that entered the room.
He understood that Lan had taken on this mission to understand the relationship between the Empire and the Empire.
Whether or not Lan completed the mission was no longer important.
Lan already had the power to break the contract.
Even if Lan didn't kill Xue Qinghe, what would the Empire do?
Lan left his office and entered the academy courtyard.
The academy was so small that it was almost visible from one end to the other.
Suddenly, the sounds of fighting caught Lan's attention.
He saw two young men fighting on the fighting stage under the scorching sun.
Lan was slightly surprised.
In the coastal city, whether at the Sea Soul Master Academy or the Grand Soul Fighting Arena, it's almost impossible to find a land-based fighting arena.
This is because 99% of the soul masters here are sea soul masters.
Even if there are land soul masters, they are definitely not locals.
Sea soul masters fight in a completely different way from land soul masters.
They can only fully unleash the power of their martial spirits and spirit skills in the water.
This includes Lan.
Lan's martial spirit is the incarnation of Guixu, the sea. Since his martial spirit's second awakening, perhaps no one in the world understands sea soul beasts and martial spirits better than Lan.
Behind the blue-haired, blue-eyed young man, an aquamarine crocodile emerged, but it had sharp horns on its head.
Every breath and every inhale exuded a terrifying, kingly aura.
"Third Soul Skill, Roar of the Raging Sea!"
The blue-haired young man continued to gather soul power.
The next moment, a cold blue beam of light shot towards the slightly burly young man!
"Boss, you're going to kill me!"
"Third soul skill, ice turtle armor!"
An ice turtle phantom appeared behind the burly young man, and his body was covered with a layer of ice crystal armor to resist the opponent's attack.
The two sides engaged in a fierce battle, attacking and defending.
However, the blue-haired youth's spirit power level was far superior, and before long, the burly youth was defeated.
"Boss, you've gotten stronger again!
I'm afraid even land-based spirit masters of the same level wouldn't be your match,"the burly youth praised generously.
Just then, the petite girl watching nearby chimed in, "That's right.
I think with our strength, if we competed in the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Elite Academy Competition, we'd probably be able to place in the top three."
"But we're sea spirit masters, and we don't even have the chance to compete," the girl sighed softly.
The blue-haired youth's expression turned serious. "I'll talk to the dean when I get back and ask him to secure a spot for us.
Why should sea spirit masters be looked down upon and treated so unfairly?"
"One day, I, Lin Luochuan, will show the spirit masters of the continent how formidable we sea spirit masters are."
At that moment,Lin Luochuan suddenly noticed Lan, who was not far away.
Several other students also noticed Lan.
"Wow, so handsome!
Is this our academy's new student?"
several female students whispered.
Just then,Wells suddenly approached Lan.
"These kids are the best of this generation of Sea Soul Masters.
Did you just see their fighting spirits?"
"What do you think?"
Wells asked with a smile.
"Average,"Lan said without hesitation.
Regardless of their talent, judging by their performance on the fighting spirit arena, they were indeed average.
Although Lan was a Sea Soul Master, his combat awareness on land was equally impressive, a skill honed from years of land-based missions.
Otherwise, Lan wouldn't have been able to successfully assassinate countless targets on land as a Sea Soul Master,including the assassination of Qian Renxue.
Upon hearing Lan's response, Wells simply smiled and said nothing more.
Indeed,these kids were exceptional, indeed,
but in front of Lan, they were no different from ordinary people.
Even a genius would call Lan a genius.
Lan's voice, though soft, was still picked up by Lin Luochuan and the others.
Lin Luochuan frowned.
He slowly walked up to Lan and asked, "Are you strong?"
"Probably a little stronger than you think,"
Lan said calmly.
Hearing Lan's words, Lin Luochuan felt looked down upon.
Three spirit rings, yellow, yellow, and purple, slowly rose from his feet.
"Come spar with me.
I haven't found an opponent in a long time."
Several students around him also cheered, cheering him on.
Just then, Wells, standing nearby, coughed twice.
"Luochuan, stop messing around. Retract your spirit!"
