Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Heavenly Dao Umbrella, Seven Kills Annihilation

Chapter 186 Conquering the Continent Starting with the Fire Leopard Sect
Who would have thought that a cool and aloof girl could smash half a mountain with a single punch?

Jiang Nian stretched, looked towards the deepest part of the Star Dou Great Forest, whispered a thank you, and then prepared to take the rat and the snake home.

Lake of life.

The three-eyed golden lion seemed to sense something and suddenly looked into the distance.

That human man seems to be heading back...

It instinctively wanted to stand up, but hesitated for a long time before lying back down and staring blankly at the lake in front of it.

Is the human world really that interesting?

The three-eyed golden lion blinked, seemingly lost in thought for a moment.

It only whimpered once it could no longer sense Jiang Nian's presence.

"You're welcome~"

After leaving the Star Dou Great Forest, they ran into a group of Soul Masters who wanted to come in to hunt Souls. When they saw Jiang Nian sitting on Little White, their expressions became a little strange.

These days, even mice can be used as mounts?

After glaring at those ignorant humans a few times, Xiaobai sped up considerably.

When they arrived at a nearby town, its body quickly shrank, and it climbed onto Qingyu's shoulder in a few steps, where it curled up to rest.

"Brother Jiang Nian, where are we going now?"

"I'll take you to challenge them."

"Oh."

Qingyu nodded, reached out and touched Xiaobai's head, not paying any attention.

He does whatever he says.

Anyway, if she can't do it, Jiang Nian definitely can.

After several days of travel.

Jiang Nian brought Qing Yu to the Star Luo Empire.

Walking into a breakfast shop, he noticed that everyone in the city was in a hurry and didn't know what to prepare.

"Boss, give me fifty pan-fried buns, six baskets of steamed dumplings, and three bowls of spicy soup."

Jiang Nian decided to eat less for breakfast and just order these for now.

"Alright, please wait a moment, sir."

Xiao Bai was held in Qing Yu's arms, swallowing hard, his eyes fixed on the iron pot, his stomach growling.

One good thing about this world is that it's not surprising to have a large appetite.

After all, the physical stage of a Soul Master is practically a bottomless pit.

Jiang Nian can't forget how much he ate when he was a few years old; he wanted to eat anything he could find.

"Young master, are you also going to the Fire Leopard Sect?" A friendly young man sat down next to him with a shy smile on his face.

Jiang Nian didn't chase him away, and said calmly, "Yes."

He glanced at the boy, who looked even younger than himself. The boy was so thin that it was clear he came from a poor family and had been hungry as a child.

"Boss, five more baskets of steamed dumplings, please."

"Ok!"

A look of gratitude flashed across Fang Yuan's face, and he chuckled, "I'm from this city, and I know the Fire Leopard Sect very well."

"To join them, one must have a soul power level of 18 before the age of thirteen, or a soul power level of four or above innate."

"Judging from your demeanor, you are no ordinary person. I believe you will be able to pass their test. I wish you success in joining the Fire Leopard Sect."

Jiang Nian stopped waving his fan and smiled gently: "Thank you."

Qingyu calmly sipped her tea, a hint of tenderness flashing in her eyes.

He seems to be the same as before, still so kind at heart.

Soon the owner brought over all the food, and Jiang Nian invited him to eat with them.

It's good to have a chatterbox.

Fang Yuan ate very quickly, like a beggar who hadn't eaten for days.

Jiang Nian asked his age and learned that the boy was only eight years old, about the same age as the little rascal, but looked quite mature overall. He was just so hungry that his face was sallow and he was as thin as a rake.

Jiang Nian casually asked about the lives of the people in the Star Luo Empire, and Fang Yuan put down his chopsticks and sighed softly.

"Oh no... Young master, you don't know, even in the capital, people starve to death, let alone in other cities."

"With heavy tax rates, it's already a blessing for ordinary families to have enough to eat."

"If I could, I would rather go to the Spirit Hall's orphanage, where at least I can eat my fill every day."

"It's a pity I'm not an orphan..."

Jiang Nian was speechless.

For the first time, I felt a sense of loss that wasn't because I was an orphan.

Soon after they finished their meal, they got up and headed towards the Fire Leopard Sect.

Fang Yuan knew the way, so he volunteered to lead the way.

"Sigh, although I have awakened my martial soul and have innate soul power of level three, my family really doesn't have the money to send me to a junior academy."

"I just hope to save enough money when I grow up, and then hire someone to help me find a spirit ring that lasts about ten years. At that time, I will also be a spirit master."

Looking at his expression full of longing for the future, Jiang Nian felt even more convinced of his grand plan.

At least the commoner children in Wuhun City can go to school for free, and when they need spirit rings, there are teachers to help them hunt for spirit rings.

Ultimately, the two great empires only cared about the interests of the nobility; the common people were like dust, and no one paid them any attention.

"Young master, this is the entrance examination site. I won't go there. I wish you success."

"Don't rush. I think you have pretty good talent. Maybe you can join the Fire Leopard Sect."

Fang Yuan was stunned for a moment, then looked at the sect on the mountain with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

Joining a sect was a dream that seemed unattainable to him.

Once inside, you won't go hungry.

It's a pity he lacks talent...
"Alright then, I'll keep you company, young master. Maybe I'll actually get lucky and be able to join?"

Fang Yuan scratched his head and chuckled, then stood beside Jiang Nian, staring blankly at the disciples and elders of the Fire Leopard Sect.

Not long after.

There were only three people ahead of them, and Fang Yuan's palms were sweating with nervousness.

Although I say I have no hope for myself, but... what if I do?
If they take a liking to you, wouldn't that change your fate?
Even if you're just an outer disciple, that status is still very prestigious.

"Next!"

Fang Yuan saw him, took a deep breath, and walked forward.

Elder Huowang sighed helplessly when he saw how thin the boy was.

Out of a sense of rigor, he still decided to have his physique tested.

"Not bad...but unfortunately, she's too frail..."

"Elder, I can endure hardship. I'll even take on a menial job!" Fang Yuan gritted his teeth, unwilling to give up.

Huo Wang hesitated for a moment. In fact, this kid was only at level five soul power at the age of eight and should not have been qualified to join their Fire Leopard Sect. However, if he was trained, he might be able to reach the level of Great Soul Master or Soul Venerable in the future.

It belongs to the category of things that are neither good to eat nor worth throwing away.

After all, out of all the tests we conducted, we only encountered two that met the criteria.

Seeing this, Jiang Nian slowly walked forward.

"Elder, I have something I'd like to see your sect leader about."

The other disciples from the sects burst out laughing upon hearing this.

"How dare you even see the sect leader? If you're going to take the test, just line up properly and don't be so overambitious!"

"Exactly, he's quite tall, but why wear a mask? Is he ashamed to be seen in public?"

Huo Wang frowned slightly and stared straight at him: "Young friend, our sect leader is not so easy to meet."

"I know."

After saying that, Jiang Nian took off his mask, revealing his handsome face.
