Douluo Dalu 2: I got Kidnapped into Holy Spirit Cult

A flash of brilliance flickered in Jiang Jue's eyes.

The soul skill brought by this Twin-Cyclopean Giant was named Death Reconstruction!

Its function was that when Jiang Jue suffered a fatal injury, he could transfer seventy percent of the damage to all the beast souls inside the Soul Banner.

Jiang Jue would only need to bear thirty percent of the damage.

However, using this skill required an immediate consumption of half of his soul power, and each time it was used, one beast soul inside the Soul Banner would truly die and dissipate.

"This could be considered a life-saving skill, and the restriction isn't too high."

Although the immediate consumption of half his soul power was a bit troublesome, there was no shortage of beast souls in his Soul Banner.

"Looks like when my spiritual power increases, the number of souls in the Soul Banner will definitely need to increase significantly."

Jiang Jue thought to himself.

"Big Brother, do you think the Holy Son is satisfied with the soul skill he obtained this time?"

On the side, Zhong Li Ren quietly sent a message through spiritual power to Zhong Li Tian.

"This Twin-Eyed Giant possesses both spiritual and death attributes, which are very compatible with the Holy Son's martial soul, so the soul skill it brings should be quite good."

Zhong Li Tian narrowed his eyes and said with certainty.

"Wait and see my expression. If the Holy Son looks pleased, we can go forward to congratulate him."

"And if it's not?"

"If it's not, just stay put and don't say anything."

"Big Brother, you're so smart, that's why you're the Big Brother."

Zhong Li Ren looked at his big brother with admiration, thinking to himself that he should think more in the future and learn from Big Brother.

"..."

"I'm not smart, but I'm still your big brother."

Hearing Zhong Li Ren's words, Zhong Li Tian's face darkened, and he gave Zhong Li Ren a glare.

After Jiang Jue finished understanding the Death Reconstruction soul skill's effects and restrictions, he slowly stood up.

"But how do I solve the issue of instantly consuming half my soul power?"

If he could solve this problem, he would essentially have seventy percent damage reduction at all times.

"Can I combine this with my first soul skill?"

As he thought, Jiang Jue couldn't help but furrow his brows.

"Uh-oh, the Holy Son looks serious."

Zhong Li Ren had been observing Jiang Jue's expression and, seeing him frown, was immediately startled, then looked toward his big brother Zhong Li Tian.

Zhong Li Tian straightened his previously slightly hunched back and became serious, saying nothing.

Zhong Li Ren and Zhong Li Di, the two brothers, quickly followed suit.

"Hmm? What's going on with you guys?" Jiang Jue asked, looking at the three who had suddenly become statuesque.

"Your Excellency, Holy Son, are you satisfied with the soul skill you obtained this time?"

Zhong Li Tian asked cautiously.

"It's okay. What's wrong?" Jiang Jue replied.

"That's good. The Holy Lord specifically instructed us to find a suitable soul beast for you. It seems we haven't let down the Holy Lord's orders."

Zhong Li Tian turned his eyes and added, "And congratulations to Your Excellency for obtaining a satisfactory soul skill."

Zhong Li Ren, who was standing behind, widened his eyes.

"Didn't we just say something different earlier?"

Zhong Li Tian turned to look at his two brothers behind him, and they quickly understood, speaking in unison, "Congratulations, Your Excellency, Holy Son."

Zhong Li Ren's gaze towards his big brother grew even more admiring, and he became more determined in his thoughts.

Zhong Li Tian saw this and couldn't help but feel pleased inside.

"Ah, my foolish little brother, just learn from me. There's still much you need to learn."

"Alright, time to head back to the sect."

Jiang Jue waved his hand, took out a blue ice-colored Tier 3 flying soul tool from his space ring, and took off into the air first.

This time, the two objectives for coming to the Star Dou Forest were completed, so there was no need to stay here. Moreover, he needed to go back to the sect for his next steps.

The three Zhong Li brothers also rose into the air, as they were already Soul Douluo-level experts and could fly freely without relying on the flying soul tool.

Two Days Later

The Evil Spirit Forest

Jiang Jue and the three Zhong Li brothers had just arrived at the open area above the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Sect when they sensed two strong auras flying toward them.

The visitors were Zhong Li Wu and Nan Gong Wan.

"Greetings, Holy Lord, Second Elder."

"Greetings, Master."

Zhong Li Wu was radiantly happy, clearly having something good to announce.

"You all can go back now. Xiao Jiang, come with me for a walk."

Zhong Li Wu signaled for Nan Gong Wan and the Zhong Li Tian brothers to go ahead.

"Yes."

The four of them bowed slightly, opened the passage to go below, and disappeared into the ground.

"Master, is there something joyful happening?" Jiang Jue asked as he walked alongside Zhong Li Wu in the Evil Spirit Forest.

After all these years, Jiang Jue had figured out his master's character. Zhong Li Wu was nice to him but had a somewhat proud attitude.

"Hahaha, this time, Old Second and I went to Ming Capital, and we directly made one of Xu Tianran's main rival princes vanish into thin air."

"Now, Xu Tianran is not only likely to become the next Emperor of the Sun Moon Empire, but he's also the one with the greatest chance."

After hearing this, Jiang Jue suddenly realized that Xu Tianran's family had a certain trait.

That was fratricide—fighting brothers for the throne.

The current Emperor of the Sun Moon Empire, Xu Tianran's father, had killed his own father and seized the throne. Now, Xu Tianran was doing the same thing.

This truly is the cruelest royal family—"In the royal family, brothers betray each other."

"Xiao Jiang, do you know why we're betting on Xu Tianran?"

Zhong Li Wu said in a deep voice.

"Why?" Jiang Jue asked.

"First of all, when Xu Tianran ascends to the throne, he'll grant our Holy Spirit Sect the title of National Sect, and we won't have to hide underground anymore."

Zhong Li Wu's voice was filled with excitement.

For years, they evil soul masters had been hunted by ordinary soul masters, like rats hiding in sewers. The thought of being able to live openly on the continent made Zhong Li Wu feel thrilled.

"And the second reason is that I saw Xu Tianran's ambition. What he wants is not just the Sun Moon Empire's throne, but to dominate the three major empires."

"Right now, the Emperor of the Sun Moon Empire is an old fool who insists on sticking to some non-aggression pact."

"With the current strength of the Sun Moon Empire and its advanced soul tool technology, along with the power of our Holy Spirit Sect, we can easily wipe out the three major empires."

Zhong Li Wu's tone even had a hint of frustration.

Jiang Jue thought of Xu Tianran in the original story. He truly could be called a great hero, but he hadn't expected that the orange fruit he had nurtured since childhood would be taken by someone else and even placed a green hat on him.

"But there's one very important thing," Zhong Li Wu continued.

"He is unable to have children."

"He thinks he's hiding it very well, but with my 98th-level soul power detection, everything was exposed."

Zhong Li Wu wore a strange smile on his face.

Although he too couldn't have children, that area was still strong.

But Xu Tianran's situation was quite different...
