Chapter 721: The Blind Douluo Has Arrived

"Then, have any of you become a Spirit Master over these years?"

Upon hearing about the Spirit Judgment Hall, Qin Jian couldn't help but nod, then asked again.

Lao Jieke shrugged and said, "It's not that easy to become a Spirit Master, you know. In all these years in our village, I only remember a little fellow named Xiao San over a decade ago. He had Innate Full Soul Power, and although his martial soul was the trashy Blue Silver Grass, I still recommended he go to the Primary Academy. If things went smoothly, he should be a Spirit Master by now."

Qin Jian thought for a moment, but still didn't tell him the news about Tang San.

After all, the Tang San that Lao Jieke had been constantly worrying about seemed to have never returned...

"Chirp! Chirp!"

Early the next morning, Qin Jian woke up from his seated meditation.

After resting for the night, he was finally able to mobilize a bit of soul power, no longer as powerless as an ordinary person.

It had been a long time since he had to do everything himself, even bathing and washing up, like last night.

Losing his soul power and losing his elemental control made his life suddenly become much more difficult.

He had been far too accustomed to keeping his body clean; no matter what kind of battle he had been through, he could just draw upon the Water Element to wash it all away, use the Fire Element to dry off quickly, and perhaps even use a bit of electricity for a refreshing jolt...

Living as an ordinary person was something he truly hadn't experienced for a very, very long time.

"So, have I already drifted this far away from being an ordinary person?"

Qin Jian looked out through the window, where two birds were chirping on a tree branch.

The morning in Holy Soul Village was quiet and peaceful.

"I'm not even human anymore..."

He smiled self-deprecatingly, then closed his eyes.

If it were before, Qin Jian might have been in the mood to rest for a few days and relax.

But now, Na'er's consciousness was dormant, Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong were trapped, and Poseixi only had one month of life left; where would he find the right to rest?

"Young man, get up and have some breakfast!"

At this moment, Lao Jieke suddenly knocked on the door.

Qin Jian had no choice but to open his eyes, get out of bed, open the door, and say gently, "I'm fine, Grandpa Jieke. You don't need to worry about me; skipping a meal or two is quite normal for me."

"Skipping a meal or two?"

Lao Jieke puffed out his beard and glared: "You young people just don't know how to take care of your bodies. Indulge yourselves too much, and you'll regret it after you turn forty!"

As he spoke, he grabbed Qin Jian's wrist and walked outside: "I, old Jieke, am not charging you money. I just find you a pleasant young man to look at. Don't be polite, come and eat."

Qin Jian didn't want to disrupt his life, so he didn't want to reveal his identity as a Spirit Master.

At this moment, he could only let him drag him to the table.

The breakfast wasn't sumptuous, nor was it particularly tasty; it couldn't compare to Qin Jian's usual diet.

Having eaten delicacies for so long, he found this ordinary food hard to swallow.

But he had always been someone who knew how to look after others' feelings, so naturally, he wouldn't make Lao Jieke feel uncomfortable.

So, even though it wasn't delicious, he still ate it all clean.

"Thank you, Grandpa Jieke, I'm full."

He smiled and put down his bowl and chopsticks.

"Only by eating your fill can you recover faster."

Lao Jieke patted him on the shoulder and went off to clear the dishes in high spirits.

Qin Jian stood up, just about to return to his room to continue recovering.

But Lao Jieke suddenly turned back and said, "By the way, didn't you ask me about the Spirit Master awakening yesterday? It's quite a coincidence, Lord Su Yuntao has arrived today."

"It really is the Blind Douluo..."

Qin Jian was speechless.

"If you're curious, you can go take a look," Lao Jieke said. "He came very suddenly this time. According to the usual order, our Holy Soul Village is the last one in this region; it definitely should have been another two weeks."

"I was just asking casually yesterday, I won't go watch."

Qin Jian waved his hand and returned to his room.

Lao Jieke didn't mind.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

But only half a day later, he knocked on Qin Jian's door again: "Young man, young man, open the door!"

Qin Jian opened his eyes helplessly: "It can't be to call me for lunch, right..."

He got up and opened the door, only to be surprised to see a young man following behind Lao Jieke.

"He is..."

Qin Jian was slightly stunned.

Lao Jieke looked at him with a hint of surprise: "Young man, are you also a Spirit Master?"

"Hmm?"

Qin Jian gave him a strange look.

"Lord Su Yuntao said he just sensed the aura of a Spirit Master's cultivation, right here in this room," Lao Jieke said, gesturing to the young man behind him.

"You?"

Qin Jian turned to look at Su Yuntao, frowning slightly: "Sensed my cultivation aura?"

Naturally, he didn't believe such nonsense.

Although cultivation would have fluctuations, with Su Yuntao's strength, how could he possibly sense the movements of a Limit Douluo like him?

Even if he was severely injured now, it was impossible!

"Don't be surprised," the young man smiled gently. "My martial soul has a unique ability that can detect the aura of Spirit Masters, regardless of their level."

Qin Jian smiled slightly: "There is such a miraculous martial soul?"

Su Yuntao laughed, "Martial souls are strange and varied; my martial soul is very well-suited for scouting, which is why I am responsible for martial soul awakening."

Qin Jian looked gentle, but he was on high alert in his heart.

This Su Yuntao assumed the two of them had never met, so he was just spouting nonsense.

But Qin Jian vaguely remembered that this guy's martial soul was clearly a wolf, a typical Power Attack type; where would he get scouting abilities?

"What exactly is going on with him?"

Qin Jian was very vigilant inside, but his face remained calm.

His condition was not great at the moment, but he could still handle a Great Soul Master; he was only worried that this Su Yuntao might not be at the strength of a Great Soul Master, which would be troublesome.

"I am only using Old Jack's place to recuperate; if Mr. Su has nothing else, then I will not keep you company," he said with a faint smile.

Old Jack had already stepped aside, and hearing Qin Jian's words, he couldn't help but steal a glance at him, clearly not expecting him to show so little face to Su Yuntao.

"Haha, there is nothing much, I am just curious about a Spirit Master appearing in Holy Soul Village, I wonder if we could chat?"

Su Yuntao acted very familiar.

Qin Jian's smile vanished: "No."

Su Yuntao, Old Jack: "..."

"Brother, you're not giving me any face?"

Su Yuntao frowned.

Qin Jian looked at him indifferently: "I just don't want to deal with Spirit Masters I don't know, it's not a matter of giving face or not."

Su Yuntao looked him up and down, the corners of his mouth curling: "It looks like you are seriously injured, so you don't dare to get involved with other Spirit Masters?"

"You can tell I'm injured?"

Qin Jian said unhurriedly: "Are you planning to make a move?"

"No," Su Yuntao waved his hand: "I have no intention of fighting you, I am just curious about your situation."

Qin Jian smiled without warmth: "Being this curious is not a good habit for a Spirit Master."

Su Yuntao crossed his arms, the smile on his face inscrutable: "Then what if I told you that my martial soul could help you?"

"Help me?" Qin Jian laughed: "My injuries will recover in a few days, why would I need your help?"

Su Yuntao put away his smile and said seriously: "But you don't know how to open the shackles on your body yourself, do you?"
