The three carriages moved forward slowly.
Nine people were riding in the carriage: Tuoba Yan, Xie Yue, Zhang Ping, Xu Yu, Li Kai, Yan, Sun Chuantao, Shui Bing'er, and Shui Yue'er. The driver of the carriage was Salas.
Salas has become a Title Douluo. He is no longer the Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall; he has now been promoted to Elder of the Spirit Hall.
A titled Douluo serves as Tuoba Yan's groom?
This sounds unbelievable, yet it truly exists.
With the help of Tuoba Yan, Salas has now advanced his cultivation to the level of a Title Douluo.
He's not stupid; on the contrary, despite his lustful nature, he's quite clever.
As a platinum bishop, Salas was quite old, and he knew how to make things go smoothly.
He has seen far too many lucky people.
Salas did not believe in the concept of a chosen one. Among thousands of people, only a few are intelligent and lucky enough to stand out.
What is a chosen one?
It does not exist.
There are reasons why Salas was able to become a Platinum Bishop and advance to the title of Douluo.
Tuoba Yan once discussed the topic of the Chosen One with Salas.
Salas said that there are no such things as chosen ones, only those who cleverly seize the opportunities of the times. He, Salas, the Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall, if there truly are chosen ones, isn't he also a chosen one?
This is Salas's mockery of the Chosen One and his correct understanding of the concept.(PS: His concept of Chosen People is that whoever is intelligent enough to seize all given opportunities. I.e he believes that chosen ones are the people with capabilities themselves rather than illusionary luck. And they raise regardless of the place hence he will not become enemy of such people. Simply put whoever seizes opportunities has luck rather than being born lucky.)
Salas also has a very distinctive personality.
His ability to maintain his position as one of the four Platinum Bishops is attributed to his consistent association with very lucky people.
By riding on the good fortune of others, one can share in their good luck and ultimately add color to one's own life.
This is Salas's understanding of his smooth sailing.
Salas deserves Tuoba Yan's cultivation.
Salas also said that if he encountered someone very lucky, he would strongly disagree with Bibi Dong's repressive style of doing things.
He believed that by associating with himself, the nation, and the Spirit Hall, as well as with many other lucky people, the Spirit Hall would have a smooth and successful future.
He reviewed the history of Douluo Continent, noting that all the rulers who lost their kingdoms made the same mistake: suppressing those with good fortune. Ultimately, they lacked capable ministers, leading to the downfall of their nations.
It was because of Salas's unique insights that Tuoba Yan decided to focus on cultivating Salas.
Salas lived up to Tuoba Yan's expectations. After becoming a Title Douluo, he became one of the elders who supported Tuoba Yan.
Salas suddenly tightened the reins, saying, "Your Majesty, something is wrong in the village ahead!"
Tuoba Yan stepped out of the carriage. He gazed into the distance.
Sure enough, his gaze froze.
Xie Yue, Yan, Zhang Ping, and others also stepped out of the carriage.
Xie Yue said, "Boss, something's not right."
Tuoba Yan had already abdicated the papacy to Hu Liena. Xie Yue felt it inappropriate to address Tuoba Yan as Pope, so he addressed him as Boss.
Xie Yue had spent three years in the City of Slaughter and had a keen sense of death energy and killing intent.
It only stays at the level of feeling.
Tuoba Yan's pupils turned golden, and he saw the scene inside the village.
There are many wolf bandits.
"Kill them!" Tuoba Yan gave the order.
Xie Yue, Yan, Xu Yu, Li Kai, Sun Chuantao, and Zhang Ping rushed into the village without any hesitation.
The light continued to flash ahead.
By the time Tuoba Yan and Salas arrived at the scene, the battle was already over.
Many wolf bandits and rescued villagers lay on the ground.
"Huh, what's this?"
Salas stared at one of the wolf bandits, who was much larger than him. He stepped forward and pulled a blue soul bone from the corpse.
Tuoba Yan frowned slightly.
He had previously encountered wolf bandits, killed a wolf bandit king, and obtained a soul bone. Now he has another soul bone.
He pondered to himself that this was probably not the same group of wolf bandits he had killed last time.
Salas looked excited, but still handed the soul bone to Tuoba Yan.
The soul bone is priceless.
The soul bone before us is quite old, supported by a black vortex, indicating that it is at least ten thousand years old.
Even the Spirit Hall doesn't have many soul bones with a lifespan of ten thousand years.
Without any hesitation, Tuoba Yan flicked his finger, sending the soul bone to Xie Yue's face. "It's yours!"
Xie Yue looked shocked. "You're going to give it to me?"
Tuoba Yan looked at the others and asked, "Do any of you have any objections?"
"No."
Everyone gave the same account.
Salas was all smiles.
Salas has already benefited greatly from his association with the lucky Tuoba Yan.
He never suppressed people who were very lucky. This included the "chosen ones" of the Tiandou Empire who rose through the ranks very quickly—officials, the "chosen ones" who became incredibly wealthy from scratch, and the most popular courtesan in Tiandou City.
These are all people with good luck.
Salas's outlook on life is very different from others.
He felt that by associating with these lucky people, his life would be smooth sailing. At best, he would have a successful official career; at worst, he would gain wealth through good fortune; and at best, he would advance to become a Title Douluo like he is now.
Suppression?
That's something only a fool would do.
Salas believed that suppressing those lucky people who were blessed by their ancestors or gods would not only bring him no benefit, but would also leave behind a record of his crimes and deplete the luck that should have been his own.
If the ancestors and deities behind a very lucky person discover this, it will surely harm their luck.
Suppressing each other? That's just wasting each other's luck; only a fool would do that.
That's why Salas requested to be transferred to Tiandou City as a Platinum Bishop.
Therefore, when facing Dugu Bo, who was being suppressed by the Spirit Hall, Salas always turned a blind eye.
Dugu Bo was born into a poor family, but through his own efforts, he became a titled Douluo and a guest minister of the Tiandou Empire.
Salas knew where Dugu Bo was, but he was unwilling to suppress him.
Why?
Salas knew that it would be a thankless task. He wouldn't gain anything, and would only anger Dugu Bo, damaging his "luck."
Salas smiled and said, "Take it, Xie Yue. He said it's yours, so this soul bone is yours."
There is nothing wrong with Salas's consciousness and thoughts.
If he had a problem, Tuoba Yan wouldn't even bother to acknowledge Salas, let alone cultivate him.
It is very difficult for others to change the stubborn mindset of a person with problematic consciousness and thinking.
Tuoba Yan said, "When Shui Bing'er and I went out to train before, we also encountered wolf bandits. If nothing unexpected happens, you will obtain a berserk soul skill."
"Berserk mode?" Xie Yue's eyes lit up.
Tuoba Yan smiled and said, "Don't be too happy yet. The Soul Bone Berserk skill can increase all attributes by 100%, but you can't use the Soul Skills in your Soul Ring! Perhaps... as your mental strength level increases in the future, you might be able to eliminate this drawback!"
