Chapter 17

When I hear this chapter title, I think of a phrase: My ambition is the stars and the sea! Here's the third update of the day, I hope everyone enjoys it. I love you all, I love Tangmen, I love Douluo, please collect and recommend this story.

-----------------------------------------

"If one day I leave, will you miss me?" Nai'er looked up, her pretty little face gaining a few more points of charm under the star and moonlight.

Tang Wulin was taken aback, "Why would you leave?"

Nai'er pouted, "I just said if."

Tang Wulin said, "Of course I would miss you, very, very much. You're my only sister. Hey, Nai'er, you seem to have grown a bit. You're almost up to my nose."

"I'll miss you too, very, very much." Nai'er answered off-topic, her large purple eyes misty with what seemed to be a layer of moisture.

Tang Wulin smiled and hugged her shoulder, "If we're together every day, we won't miss each other. I'll talk to Dad and Mom later. When I get into the intermediate academy, you can come to the same city next year to study. Big brother will always protect you."

Nai'er didn't say anything, her purple eyes shimmering with a puzzled light, and her head unconsciously leaned on Tang Wulin's shoulder.

Morning.

Today, Tang Wulin got up particularly early, even eating less breakfast than usual. Tang Ziran, seeing the eager light in his son's eyes, couldn't help but laugh, "You're finally not so calm? Don't be in a hurry, if you go too early, the Spirit Tower won't be open yet."

For Tang Wulin, today was a particularly important day; he was going to buy a spirit soul.

"Dad, do you think I can buy what kind of spirit soul?" Tang Wulin, no matter how much he tried, was just a nine-year-old child. He had been working hard for this day, and now that the day of harvest had finally arrived, how could he possibly remain calm?

Tang Ziran smiled slightly, "How would Dad know? But no matter what kind of spirit soul you get, you will officially advance from a Soul Adept to a one-ringed Soul Master. That means you will truly become a Soul Master, and from then on, you will be different from ordinary people."

"Okay." Tang Wulin nodded excitedly, but he missed some of the other things in his father's tone.

Watching Tang Wulin eagerly pull his father away from home, Nai'er stood at the door, watching them until they were out of sight. Her beautiful large eyes again showed a puzzled look, and she frowned, as if trying to think of something.

"Dad, hurry up, faster, please." Tang Wulin skipped ahead, occasionally turning to urge his father.

Tang Ziran couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, a hint of worry in his eyes. Obtaining a suitable spirit soul wasn't that easy! It wasn't guaranteed that you would buy one that suits you.

The Spirit Tower organization is spread across the continent, not just on this land of Douluo, but also on the other two continents discovered over thousands of years.

Ten thousand years ago, the remnants of the Tiandou Empire, defeated by the then Rizhui Empire, set sail with their remaining troops and, after much hardship, discovered a vast continent. There were also native human inhabitants there, but their development was far behind that of Douluo. They occupied it and named it Tiandou Continent.

The Rizhui Empire and the Xingluo Empire, the only two remaining on Douluo, had constant friction. With the rapid development of the Rizhui Empire, the Xingluo Empire gradually declined. However, they took a different path, delving into oceanic research and also discovered a continent. Subsequently, the Xingluo Empire quietly occupied that continent and moved the entire country there, taking a large amount of resources with them. They named the continent Xingluo Continent, and later, the Xingluo Empire changed to a federal system, named the Xingluo Federation.

The Rizhui Empire unified Douluo and was later renamed the Rizhui Federation.

The Spirit Tower organization has a history of ten thousand years. Due to its importance to Soul Masters and its groundbreaking research on artificial spirit souls, its status has risen, spreading across the three continents and becoming one of the most powerful forces.

Aolai City also has a branch of the Spirit Tower, located in the city center, a three-story tower-shaped building. This is the lowest-level branch of the Spirit Tower. In medium-sized cities, the Spirit Tower has seven stories, and in large cities, it has thirteen stories. The headquarters of the Spirit Tower in Shrek City, after years of renovation, has eighty-one stories and is known as the most magnificent building on Douluo.

For Tang Wulin, the three-story Spirit Tower in front of him was already his dream sanctuary. This Spirit Tower is also the largest building in Aolai City, and everyone knows its location, but very few have actually entered it.

When they arrived, the main door of the Spirit Tower was already open, but there were few people. After all, this is a place only Soul Masters come to, and in a small place like Aolai City, the number of Soul Masters can be counted on one hand.

Tang Ziran led his son into the Spirit Tower, and Tang Wulin's eyes roamed around, filled with curiosity about this legendary place.

The Spirit Tower is octagonal, three stories, four sides, and eight directions. The internal space is very spacious, with marble floors marked with the Spirit Tower symbol, and a wide hall. Around the hall are doors leading to unknown places, and in front is a counter-like area where a Spirit Master in a gray robe sits.

Seeing them, the Spirit Master stood up, his gaze falling on Tang Ziran, "Hello, may I ask what you need?"

Tang Ziran hurriedly said respectfully, "Hello, Spirit Master, I am here to buy a spirit soul for my son. His soul power is already at level ten."

Hearing this, the warmth in the Spirit Master's face faded a bit, clearly recognizing that Tang Ziran was not a Soul Master.

"Have you brought enough money?" he asked indifferently.

Tang Wulin interjected, "Yes, yes, we have enough."

The Spirit Master said, "What level of spirit soul do you want to buy?"

Tang Ziran, slightly embarrassed, said, "Spirit Master, we don't really understand these things. Could you please explain them to us?"

The Spirit Master, somewhat impatient, said, "You didn't even find out before coming? In a small place like Aolai City, our Spirit Tower only provides three ways to buy spirit souls. Ten-year white spirit souls, hundred-year yellow spirit souls, and random spirit soul draws."

"Ten-year white spirit souls have seventy-three options, and hundred-year yellow spirit souls have eleven options. The price for a white spirit soul is seventy thousand, and the price for a yellow spirit soul is one million. Which one do you want to buy?"

Hearing this, Tang Wulin was stunned, exclaiming, "Spirit Master, isn't a spirit soul thirty thousand? How, how could it be..."
