Chapter 608 Martial Soul Special Forces
Inside the dressing room behind the screen.
Qian Renxue, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling were quietly hiding here.
The changing room was big enough that there was no need for everyone to squeeze together, but Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, these two best friends, still held hands and huddled together.
The main issue was that in this enclosed space, without Ye Qifeng present, the two of them were alone with Qian Renxue, which inevitably made them feel a bit pressured and nervous.
In such a tense atmosphere, people will instinctively move closer to places where they feel safe.
So, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, who were usually so close that they could wear the same dress, naturally gravitated towards each other and sought comfort from one another.
They were fine when they were outside, since Ye Qifeng was there, which made them feel at ease. Although they would still feel nervous when facing Qian Renxue, they didn't feel as insecure as they do now.
Qian Renxue, on the other hand, did not feel nervous or insecure at all. At this moment, she was smiling as she looked at Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, who were snuggling together with nervous expressions on their faces, and she felt amused.
Of course, it was without any malice.
Standing at a full 1.8 meters tall, Qian Renxue was an absolute standout among the three.
Perhaps because she had already tasted the forbidden fruit and been nourished by love, Qian Renxue's facial features had become much rounder, losing some of her cold and sharp edges, but making her look even more stunning and perfect, full of charm.
Her looks and temperament are comparable to her mother, uh, her older sister, Bibi Dong.
Even the equally stunning Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling paled in comparison to such a breathtaking beauty.
This is also one of the reasons why Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling felt immense pressure.
It was this pressure that caused the two of them to become tense, and they couldn't completely control their aura, which leaked out.
…………
Hu Yanzhen glanced casually at the antique-style screen inside the lounge, his powerful senses telling him that two people were hiding there.
It wasn't that he intentionally wanted to investigate; it was mainly because, as a Soul Douluo-level powerhouse, his senses were naturally quite sharp, and he had already noticed it the moment he stepped into the rest room.
Besides His Highness the Holy Son, there are other people inside.
Judging from their aura, they should be two Lesser Soul Kings, and two female Soul Masters. However, their auras are a bit unstable, somewhat like the emotional turmoil and high spirits after a night of pleasure, causing their soul power auras to fluctuate.
His Highness is playing a bit too cleverly.
Hu Yanzhen seemed to have understood everything, and a subtle expression appeared on his old face, but he quickly concealed it, pretending to be calm and pretending not to have discovered anything.
Inwardly, however, he sighed, lamenting that it was a pity that most of the women in their Xiangjia Sect were rather robust, which did not conform to the aesthetic standards of the world. He feared that the Holy Son would not like them. Otherwise, he might consider sending a few women from the clan to win the Holy Son's favor.
Alas, it can only be said that His Highness the Holy Son is not blessed.
Ye Qifeng's senses were incredibly sharp; in an instant, he noticed the subtle change in Hu Yanzhen's expression and knew that he had probably misunderstood something.
However, he didn't want to explain further. Let the misunderstanding be; it wouldn't affect him much.
It doesn't matter if Yan Yan and Ling Ling's presence is leaked, since they're all on the same side anyway, and besides, Hu Yanzhen doesn't know who they are.
"You two have come all this way to see me; is there anything important you wish to report?"
Looking at the two burly men in front of him, whose physiques could only be described as "exaggerated," Ye Qifeng asked in a slightly solemn tone.
Upon hearing the question, Huyan Zhen immediately snapped back to his senses, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and his deep voice seemed to resonate with a buzzing quality:
"Your Highness, I have brought my grandson here not because I have important matters to report, but rather..."
After a slight pause, Hu Yanzhen's eyes flickered a few times as he glanced at Hu Yanli beside him before regaining his composure and continuing:
"But I wanted to create an opportunity for my grandson."
"Seeking an opportunity?" Ye Qifeng was taken aback.
"Yes, I seek an opportunity." Hu Yanzhen nodded frankly, "I seek an opportunity to become stronger, an opportunity that will allow my grandson to smoothly embark on the broad road to becoming a Title Douluo."
Hearing this, Ye Qifeng roughly understood why the grandfather and grandson had come to see him.
He glanced at Huyan Li, who stood quietly to the side, but whose expression had clearly become more tense, then looked calmly at Huyan Zhen, a slight smile appearing on his face:
What opportunities could I possibly offer you?
"With your grandson's talent, even without any special opportunities, it's not impossible for him to reach the Title Douluo realm as long as he cultivates diligently."
Hu Yanzhen immediately replied:
"But with His Highness's help, this path will surely be much smoother."
Ye Qifeng was somewhat surprised and looked at him with interest:
"Oh? You're so sure I can help him?"
Hu Yanzhen nodded with unwavering certainty, seemingly convinced of it:
"Yes, I'm sure."
Ye Qifeng chuckled, then his smile faded slightly:
"What do you want?"
Of course, Hu Yanzhen couldn't just openly reveal his true desire to obtain a rare medicinal herb. Such herbs were extremely rare, and whether he could obtain one was another matter entirely; doing so would only offend the other party.
If we displease the Holy Son, then all will be lost.
However, before coming here, he had already prepared his explanation and his response:
"I hope Your Highness will allow my grandson, Huyanli, to work under Your Highness."
Faced with Huyan Zhen's somewhat unexpected request, Ye Qifeng was even more surprised and couldn't help but look at him a few more times:
"Oh? You mean you want Huyan Li to follow me and become my follower?"
Upon hearing this, Hu Yanzhen first shook his head, then nodded:
"I have heard that His Highness has formed a special forces unit of martial spirits, so I would like my grandson to join it and fight alongside His Highness on the battlefield."
As he spoke, Hu Yanzhen pushed Hu Yanli, who was standing next to him, forward a step.
Huyan Li didn't hesitate and immediately knelt on one knee:
"Please grant my request, Your Highness."
"Join the Martial Soul Special Forces?" Ye Qifeng looked slightly surprised, then nodded after a moment's thought. "It's not impossible."
"The Martial Soul Special Forces also need a defensive-type Soul Master who specializes in defense. I would certainly welcome Young Sect Master Huyan to join us."
Just as Hu Yanzhen and his grandson Hu Yanli were about to rejoice, they heard Ye Qifeng's tone change:
"However, the Martial Soul Special Forces are currently full and there are no vacancies. We can only ask Young Master Huyan to start as an ordinary member."
"As for whether he can climb up and take on a higher position, that depends on his strength and ability."
"In addition, I must tell you in advance that the Martial Soul Special Forces have special functions and carry out almost all of the most difficult and dangerous missions of the Martial Soul Hall. The battlefields they will face in the future will also be the most brutal."
At this point, Ye Qifeng looked up at Huyan Zhen:
"As a high-ranking member of our Spirit Hall, at the Platinum Bishop level, Sect Master Huyan is not outside the Spirit Hall, but he is qualified to know about the Spirit Hall's future policies and strategies. He should be clear about what kind of situation the Spirit Hall will face in the future."
"So, I want to say that if Young Master Huyan really wants to join the Martial Soul Special Forces, whether you are Sect Master Huyan or Young Master Huyan, you'd better be mentally prepared."
Upon hearing Ye Qifeng's words, Hu Yanzhen's expression instantly turned serious.
He knew perfectly well what the Spirit Hall was planning to do in the future. In fact, their Elephant Armor Sect had already begun to secretly accumulate strength under the Spirit Hall's instruction, preparing for that earth-shattering battle in the future.
Hu Yanli didn't understand the meaning behind Ye Qifeng's words. He simply thought that Ye Qifeng was explaining the dangers of joining the Martial Soul Special Forces, so he didn't take it seriously.
He wanted to step forward to show that he was not afraid, but when he turned his head and saw his grandfather's serious face, the bold words he was about to say were immediately swallowed back down his throat.
Hu Yanzhen's expression shifted for a long time. Although he was filled with worry, he finally steeled his heart and made a tough decision:
"I understand what the Holy Son says, but what do a few dangers matter for Li'er's future? How can he grow into a Title Douluo without experiencing some dangers?"
"Moreover, it is an honor for Li'er to serve under the Holy Son. Even if something really happens in the future, I will have no complaints."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qifeng nodded slightly.
"Since Sect Master Huyan says so, then there is no problem."
"But you can rest assured, every member of my Martial Soul Special Forces is an elite among elites. In the future, all of them will be at least at the Soul Emperor level. It's not that easy for them to get into trouble."
After speaking, he turned his gaze to Huyan Li:
"And what about you, Young Sect Master Huyan?"
Huyanli immediately raised his hand and pounded his chest, making a loud thud.
"Your Highness, please rest assured to use me. I, Huyan Li, am tough and fearless."
Ye Qifeng smiled slightly and looked at him:
"Alright, from today onwards, you are a member of the Spirit Special Forces. After the conclusion of the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament, you shall report to the Spirit Special Forces camp in Spirit City."
"Okay, wait a moment, I'll draft an onboarding document for you."
As he spoke, Ye Qifeng casually waved his hand, taking out a sheet of paper with a slightly golden hue and a milky white nib pen, then controlled them to float in mid-air and begin writing on their own.
Ye Qifeng's move was actually quite simple; it was just a small application of his mental manipulation ability.
But in Hu Yanli's eyes, it was a truly amazing sight, which instantly shocked him so much that he was dumbfounded, his face full of disbelief.
Not to mention Hu Yanli was surprised, even Hu Yanzhen stared wide-eyed in shock. This, this is mental manipulation?
The ability to control objects using only pure spiritual power without using soul power—isn't that something only Title Douluo possess?
No, that's not right. It seems even a Title Douluo couldn't do it so easily.
Even a titled Douluo still needs to combine soul power to precisely control and manipulate items.
But how was His Highness able to do that?
Could it be that the Holy Son has already stepped into the realm of Title Douluo, or even the Super Douluo above the Title Douluo level?
Impossible, absolutely impossible. The Holy Son is only eighteen years old. How could he possibly be a Title Douluo? And anything above that is out of the question.
Or is it that His Highness's mental strength is so naturally powerful that he can do it with ease?
Perhaps it's because His Highness the Holy Son's martial soul is rather special.
Hu Yanzhen was completely baffled for a moment, and could only attribute it to the characteristics of Ye Qifeng's martial soul.
While the grandfather and grandson were still in a daze, Ye Qifeng had already drafted the employment documents, signed his name, taken out the seal, affixed his personal stamp, and then used his mental power to control the document to send it to Huyan Li.
"With this document, you can start your job at the Martial Soul Special Forces camp in Martial Soul City. Someone will be there to assist you."
"Oh, right, and this too, take it with you."
As he spoke, Ye Qifeng gently wiped his left hand, took out a jade box, and casually tossed it to him.
"This is."
Hu Yanli hurriedly accepted the jade box, and a rich medicinal fragrance suddenly wafted into his nose, making him feel indescribably comfortable.
"This is a top-grade medicinal herb."
Ye Qifeng smiled slightly and pointed to the sign, introducing it to him:
"Every member who joins the Martial Soul Special Forces will receive one, which can be used to repair injuries, increase cultivation, and improve physical condition."
"Given your current state, if you were to take it, increasing your soul power by several levels wouldn't be a problem. However, it wouldn't be an instant increase; it would require a long period of refining and absorption."
"This herb can only be taken once in a lifetime. Although its effects are slow, the advantage is that it has no side effects. Moreover, after taking the herb, there is no need to worry about the loss of its medicinal power. It will remain in the body and be slowly refined and absorbed."
"It's actually a top-grade medicinal herb?"
Hu Yanli was so excited that his hand trembled.
Subconsciously, I opened the jade box and sure enough, I saw a peculiar herb lying quietly inside.
The herb was emerald green and crystal clear, as if it were a crystal sculpture. It was more beautiful than any herb he had ever seen before, and the fragrance it emitted was incredibly rich. Just one whiff of it made him feel refreshed all over.
Hu Yanzhen, who was standing nearby, was also delighted and spoke up to remind him:
"Hurry up and thank His Highness the Holy Son."
Huyan Li hurriedly knelt down on one knee again and began to pledge his loyalty:
"Thank you for your generous gift, Your Highness."
"From now on, Huyan Li will follow Your Highness's lead."
"Whatever Your Highness commands, Huyan Li will do his utmost to carry it out properly."
Ye Qifeng nodded with an "Mmm," accepting it calmly.
"There's no need to blindly follow my lead."
"As long as you are loyal and dutiful and do a good job for the Spirit Hall, I, the Holy Son, will naturally not treat you unfairly."
Get up.
"Yes, Your Highness."
The arrival of Hu Yanzhen and his grandson Hu Yanli was somewhat unexpected, but since they had come to us of their own accord, there was no reason not to accept them, especially since they were already one of our own.
Giving some benefits to his own people is something Ye Qifeng is happy to do.
