Su Cheng immediately reacted upon hearing Bo Saixi calling out to him, realizing that she had come to the mainland specifically to find him.
Otherwise, there was no way she would leave Sea God Island at this time.
Even if it weren't for something urgent, she wouldn't have left the Sea God's Temple, where she would sit for years in the dark hall.
Moreover, Bo Saixi not only came to the mainland but also waited near the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, accurately recognizing him.
Apart from being influenced by simulated memories, Su Cheng couldn't think of a second reason.
To be honest, her actions caught him off guard.
In Su Cheng's opinion, Sea God Island was isolated overseas, and he wasn't anyone important there. It was impossible for them to have heard of him.
Just for a seemingly unreal dream memory, she decisively left the Sea God Island, coming to the Douluo Continent to explore, which was really hard to understand.
Before this, even Tang Chen's disappearance for many years didn't make her take a step out of the Sea God's Temple.
However, since Bo Saixi came here, most likely, it wouldn't be for anything good.
In the simulated world, Su Cheng destroyed the Seven Holy Pillars, shattered the Sea God's Light, and almost completely severed the Sea God's inheritance by destroying the Sea God Mountain and shattering the Sea God's Temple.
Based on Bo Saixi's identity and her faith in the Sea God, after discovering his existence, even if she didn't immediately move to kill him, she would definitely try to suppress the potential threat to the minimum.
However, Su Cheng didn't have a good way to deal with this situation.
The gap in strength between the two was too great.
Unless he used the Fragmentation Ring Secret Technique to greatly weaken the future development potential of the Eternal Sword, he would not be Bo Saixi's opponent under normal circumstances, even if he used the Innate Power.
In this moment, Su Cheng's mind began to race, considering various strategies.
The cost of using force was too high, so he could only rely on his acting skills.
Indeed, in reality, he didn't have the acting skills of a "veteran actor," but he had a small trick - self-hypnosis.
This skill was relatively ineffective in battle against strong-willed opponents and unnecessary for weaker ones.
But when used on oneself, especially in auxiliary cultivation, it occasionally had miraculous effects.
And now, he was going to use this trick to create a new identity for himself.
Fortunately, Su Cheng knew Bo Saixi quite well.
In the simulation, whether before leaving the mountain or after entering the world, her temperament was always relatively gentle, without too strong desires or deep scheming.
She had principles and bottom lines, never pressuring others based on status and strength.
Apart from the blessing of being the "High Priest," she was actually a relatively pure Sea Spirit Master, quite different from the people on the mainland.
This understanding should help him gain many opportunities.
In the moment he turned around, he had already completed a series of psychological suggestions that would temporarily take effect.
"I don't know this person, but I have no hostility towards her, and I have a certain fondness for her.
"I have never heard of the existence of Sea God Island, nor have I heard of the inheritance of the God's position.
"I'm just an ordinary traditional Spirit Master and have never heard of any martial arts or the like.
"My relationship with the young master of the Martial Soul Hall, Qian Renxue, is very good, and I obtained the Sixth Soul Ring with the help of the Martial Soul Hall's Qian Dao Liu.
"Because of my outstanding talent and strength comparable to a Soul Douluo, the Martial Soul Hall values me greatly, and I have also been granted the Elder status as an exception.
"I come from a humble background and have struggled since childhood. I have barely made it to this point through perseverance and hard work. I struggled with food and clothing in my childhood, and I almost died several times hunting Spirit Beasts in my youth...
"Even so, I still maintain the spirit of my youth. Kind and sincere, naive and simple...
"If a fight breaks out, unless it's absolutely necessary, I can't use my Innate Power..."
Su Cheng turned around and looked at the woman who had just called out to him, his expression puzzled and even showing a hint of amazement.
The woman was dressed in red and looked like she was only in her twenties.
Her delicate face was like a sculpture, and her unique blue eyes were as deep as the sea, as clear as the sky.
What was even more astonishing was the mysterious aura that made it difficult to guess her true age.
Her demeanor exuded the calm intelligence of a mature woman and the lively charm of a young girl.
A similar complex temperament, Su Cheng had only seen it on Qian Renxue.
Even compared to the majestic and noble Bibi Dong, she seemed to lack a few traces of ethereal indifference.
On the other hand, Bo Saixi, who heard his answer, raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "You don't recognize me?"
"I don't." Su Cheng shook his head, his face even more puzzled.
Although the woman in front of him looked young, her presence was unusually strong, which was extremely strange to him.
When did such a high-level young Spirit Master appear on the mainland?
He wasn't unaware that Title Douluo-level experts could maintain their youth.
But eyes were hard to deceive.
Those Title Douluo-level experts on the mainland, who hadn't undergone various trials and tribulations? Not only did they need to compete with each other to obtain resources and fight for Spirit Beasts and Soul Rings, but they also had to scheme for their forces behind the scenes. How could they be so pure?
Moreover, almost all top experts had long been famous, and there were records in the Martial Soul Hall.
Before this, Su Cheng had never heard of such a person in the world.
After hearing his answer, Bo Saixi narrowed her eyes slightly, carefully scrutinizing the bewildered young man in front of her.
She had indeed been waiting outside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect specifically for Su Cheng.
Since arriving on the mainland, she had heard all kinds of stories about Su Cheng with little effort.
This person could be called a benchmark figure among the young generation of Spirit Masters on the mainland.
First, he entered the Tian Dou Royal Academy as a commoner and joined the academy's team with strong strength at a very young age.
Later, during the Great Spirit Master Tournament hosted by the Martial Soul Hall, he led the Royal Combat Team to the finals with an overwhelming momentum.
Even in the final match, he once suppressed the legendary figure of the Martial Soul Hall's academy team, Qian Renxue, who had a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring.
If it weren't for the fact that the number of Spirit Kings in the Martial Soul Hall's team was too high, he might have had a chance to win the final championship.
In addition, Bo Saixi also knew that after Su Cheng finished the Spirit Master Tournament, he directly joined the Martial Soul Hall.
It was precisely because of this that she chose to come near Tian Dou City and wait for the right opportunity.
The Martial Soul Hall had Qian Dao Liu presiding over it, and it was also the place where the inheritance of the Angel God was located. She couldn't go there directly, but the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was not a problem.
As far as she knew, there was no conflict between the Martial Soul Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Even if Su Cheng joined the Martial Soul Hall, it didn't mean he would fall out with the sect.
When it came to patience, she was not lacking at all.
However, after scrutinizing for a long time, Bo Saixi, who hadn't seen any flaws, felt a little uneasy.
The young man in front of her had eyes as clear as water, with a deep-rooted resilience and determination, showing that he had experienced many hardships in the past, which was different from the him in her memories.
Clearly, it was the same person.
Appearance, name, even the martial soul had certain similarities.
The two godly self-created soul techniques, "Empty Mountain" and "Bright Moon," that had spread throughout the mainland, also matched the impression in her memory.
She didn't believe in such coincidences.
After a moment of silence, Bo Saixi slowly spoke, "You don't know me, but I know you."
Su Cheng's expression moved slightly upon hearing this and asked tentatively, "Are you from the Star Luo Empire's royal family? Or perhaps from the Haotian Sect or the Blue Tyrant Dragon Sect?"
It wasn't surprising that she recognized him.
Although he kept a low profile and didn't move around much, the process and results of the Spirit Master Tournament were not secrets in the Spirit Master world.
Even though the final match was officially kept secret, Su Cheng's assembled team included many students from other academies, so it was inevitable that some information would leak out.
Moreover, this year's Spirit Master Tournament had produced many outstanding young Spirit Masters, with a large number of young Spirit Kings, descendants of the Haotian Sect, owners of twin martial souls, the Hell Tiger martial soul, and even young Spirit Saints in their twenties with hundred-thousand-year soul rings...
It could be said that among all the sessions of the Spirit Master Tournament held so far, this year's young Spirit Masters were the most outstanding.
Even Ning Rongrong, who had the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, was not considered particularly special among them.
As he was secretly pondering the other's identity.
The beautiful sister in front of him suddenly released an extremely terrifying aura fluctuation.
Even without releasing her martial soul, a tyrannical pressure like a hurricane and tsunami instantly descended.
Between the release and retraction of spiritual power, a terrifying attack came in an instant.
Su Cheng's face changed drastically, unable to continue thinking, and the Eternal Sword appeared in his hand.
In the next moment, the configuration of five black and one red, six terrifying soul rings appeared around him, and the domain also spread out.
The Five Elements Domain enveloped both of them, simultaneously enhancing himself while trying to suppress and weaken the terrifying opponent in front of him.
The first soul ring at the ten-thousand-year limit and the sixth soul ring at the hundred-thousand-year level lit up at the same time.
First Soul Skill: Bearing the World with Virtue.
Sixth Soul Skill: Bright Moon.
Sixth Soul Skill: Reigniting the Remaining Flames.
Under the enhancement of soul skills, the Eternal Sword in his hand instantly became unusually heavy, with dark red patterns like lava covering it.
A palpably terrifying power emanated from the long sword.
At the same time, a crescent moon appeared silently in the air, quietly gathering power.
But compared to the opponent's attack, it was still far from enough.
A dark red trident imprint flashed on
Bo Saixi's forehead.
Then, her seemingly soft and fair right palm moved forward.
The crescent moon-like blade instantly condensed, heading straight for Su Cheng's face.
Su Cheng didn't have time to counterattack, nor dared to.
With a solemn expression, he raised the long sword, using his most proficient defensive sword technique, the Sword Blocking Stance.
"Clang—"
Even though it was an energy attack, when the long sword clashed, it emitted a long and sharp metal tremor, exceptionally sharp and piercing.
After blocking one attack, the next blade immediately followed.
Su Cheng quickly shifted his body, tilting the sword edge to resolve it.
But what made him even more uneasy than the astonishing offensive of the opponent was the faint killing intent emanating from the beautiful woman in front of him.
She wanted to kill him!
Although this killing intent was intermittent, it was real.
Su Cheng acknowledged that although his cultivation level was limited now, having just broken through to Spirit Emperor, with his configuration of soul rings and various self-created soul techniques, he could still hold hisown against a Title Douluo for a few moves.
But facing the young woman in front of him who hadn't even revealed her martial soul and soul skills, he was completely powerless.
Although he didn't know why, he instinctively didn't want to use the trump card he had once comprehended—Origin Power.
He didn't have the intention to counteract his own instincts.
Moreover, Su Cheng was well aware that even if he used the Innate Sword Qi, it would be equally difficult to achieve anything significant since the opponent hadn't even used her martial soul and soul skills yet.
Even if he really wanted to use it, he would have to combine it with the almost suicidal secret technique, "Shattering Rings," to use it.
But using "Shattering Rings" was obviously something he was unwilling to accept.
Reaching his current level of cultivation was not easy. His future prospects were bright, and he didn't want to squander them on any possibility.
"Who are you, and is there any misunderstanding between us? Do you know my identity?"
As he spoke, Su Cheng reached out and tossed a token into the air, flying towards the woman in red.
Bo Saixi raised her eyebrows when she saw it and reached out her left hand to catch it.
On the token, six patterns were neatly arranged, exuding an invisible sense of nobility.
"Pope's Token?"
Looking at the token in her hand, Bo Saixi furrowed her delicate brows slightly, and her offensive slowed down slightly.
She looked at Su Cheng with a complex expression. "Who is your teacher among the elders of the Martial Soul Hall?"
"Qian Dao Liu!"
At this moment, Su Cheng didn't care about pretending to be a senior anymore. He was determined to bring out the highest-ranking figure in the Martial Soul Hall first.
"Do you know who Qian Dao Liu is? He is the Great Consecration of the Martial Soul Hall, a ninety-ninth level peerless Douluo. I am his disciple!"
