Douluo Continent: I ushered in this era

“After all,” Chu Ci said with a smile, looking at the scenery flashing past the window, “our journey has only just begun!”

Final exams are officially over, and everyone is enjoying a pleasant holiday.

Gu Yue has disappeared without a trace. Xie Xie went home to play. Tang Wulin was taken away by Wu Changkong and will return to Aolai City to see his parents after some time.

After a few days of rest, Chu Ci also began its own holiday arrangements.

"Go to Mingdu," Chu Ci heard Su Mengjun sitting on the opposite sofa say, and after thinking for a moment, asked, "Is it to discuss the Soul Weapon?"

After the holiday began, Chu Ci told Su Mengjun about the Soul Weapon.

At first, Su Mengjun didn't believe it, after all, this soul weapon didn't sound like something a ten-year-old child could create.

But after Chu Ci and Mu Chen submitted the relevant data on the Soul Weapon to Su Mengjun, Su Mengjun rang Chu Ci's doorbell early the next morning.

"That's part of the reason, but taking you to visit the headquarters of the Temple of War during this holiday was something that Tianwu and I had planned a long time ago."

“Since these two things happen to be on the way, let’s do them together,” Su Mengjun said softly.

“Okay, I’ll pack this afternoon and we’ll leave tomorrow.” Chu Ci made the decision immediately.

Chapter 35 Heading to the Temple of War

After discussing it with Su Mengjun, Chu Ci's family began packing the items Chu Ci would bring.

"Mom, you really don't need to bring so much stuff. Just bring a few changes of clothes." Chu Ci leaned against the door frame, helplessly watching his mother, Su Shuyun, stuff all the bags and packages into the storage wristband.

"Isn't it better to be prepared? This storage wristband is so big, might as well use it." Su Shuyun said while busy working.

"Alright then," Chu Ci said, seeing that she couldn't go against her mother's wishes, she had no choice but to give in and let her have her way.

Early the next morning, Chu Ci bid farewell to his family at the door.

Chu Tiannan said seriously, "Safety is the top priority on this trip. If you encounter danger, don't worry about others, just leave first."

"I understand, Dad." Chu Ci nodded emphatically, gently stroking the storage wristband. Inside, two nuclear bombs lay securely. If anyone pushed him to the brink, he could just take a nuclear bomb and blast them.

Chu Ci first went to the East Sea City Blacksmith Association, where the master craftsman Mu Chen had been waiting for a long time.

"Uncle Mu, please!" Chu Ci stood at the door of the president's office and gestured for him to enter.

Mu Chen straightened his collar, adopted a mysterious look, and followed Chu Ci into the soul-guided car.

Soon, Chu Ci led Mu Chen to the military region on the outskirts of Donghai City, where they would set off for Mingdu.

Su Mengjun, who had been waiting for a long time, came out to greet him personally and said respectfully, "Master Mu Chen, we are really sorry to have troubled you with the matter of the Soul Weapon."

"Soul weapons are of paramount importance. As one of their forgers, I should make efforts to ensure their continued development and continuation within the Soul Master world," Mu Chen said calmly.

Su Mengjun nodded slightly, "Master Mu Chen is very righteous."

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Su Mengjun led Mu Chen and Chu Ci onto a soul-guided aircraft, which they would then take to the headquarters of the Temple of War.

The headquarters of the Temple of War is located on the summit of the highest peak of the Western Hills of Mingdu, surrounded by the Central Army Corps stationed at the foot of the Western Hills.

The Soul Guided Fighter successfully landed at the Central Legion's airfield.

As the thirteenth War God of the War God Temple, Su Mengjun held an extremely high status. She led Chu Ci and Mu Chen through the Central Army Corps without any obstacles, crossed the snow line at an altitude of 2,500 meters in the Western Mountains, and successfully entered the War God Temple area.

Chu Ci gazed at the gates of hell so close at hand, his eyes brimming with uncontainable curiosity.

As everyone arrived at the door, Chu Ci keenly sensed that he had been scanned by some kind of detector, and the gates of hell opened, revealing the pitch-black interior.

As Chu Ci followed Su Mengjun into the door, she immediately felt the surrounding space begin to distort.

After a dizzying spin, Chu Ci found himself in a large hall.

The hall was dimly lit, and the walls were engraved with complex soul-guiding arrays. Directly in front of Chu Ci was a passage large enough for three adults to walk side by side, its destination unknown.

Of course, the most eye-catching person in the hall was the handsome man standing in the center.

Upon seeing the man, Su Mengjun smiled brightly and walked towards him, saying, "Tianwu."

“Mengjun,” the man replied with a gentle smile.

Looking at the scene before him, Chu Ci quickly realized that the man in front of him was Long Tianwu, the second War God of the War God Hall and a level 98 Title Douluo.

Chu Ci quickly stepped forward and politely greeted, "Hello, Uncle-in-law."

Long Tianwu looked Chu Ci up and down, sensing the fluctuations of soul power on Chu Ci's body, and nodded repeatedly: "Not bad, I have heard about your three years of training in Donghai City, Ci'er, very good."

After saying that, Long Tianwu turned her gaze to Mu Chen and said, "Master Mu Chen, on behalf of the War God Temple, I welcome your arrival."

"Haha, I am also very honored to be here at the Temple of War God," Mu Chen replied cheerfully.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Long Tianwu turned and led the group into the passage opposite, saying, "Let's go, I'll take you to see the Palace Master."

Along the way, Su Mengjun noticed Chu Ci looking around curiously and couldn't help but chuckle. She then gave a brief introduction to the headquarters of the Temple of War.

"The headquarters of the Temple of War is roughly divided into two parts: the eighteen levels of hell where one accepts challenges from others, and the training grounds for members of the Temple of War."

"You'll be spending most of your vacation at the training ground, Ci'er. Your uncle will personally give you special training."

"Ah!" Chu Ci exclaimed excitedly. He couldn't imagine how wonderful the special training of a level 98 Title Douluo would be.

During their conversation, the group arrived at a closed gate, which automatically opened to both sides.

Chu Ci looked into the room and found it to be a room that resembled a reception room.

The room is decorated in a simple and elegant style, with soul-guiding arrays carved on the walls for sound insulation and temperature maintenance.

Sitting on the sofa inside were a handsome man with a gentle face and a man with neatly combed silver hair. Both of them were dressed in black outfits with gold patterns, exuding an aura of authority without being angry.

Long Tianwu and Su Mengjun stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Palace Master, Vice Palace Master."

"Tianwu, Mengjun, thank you for your hard work." The gentle-looking man stood up and said softly.

He then looked at Chu Ci and Mu Chen with a smile, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Guan Yue, and I am the deputy hall master of the War God Hall."

"The man beside me is Chen Xinjie, the Hall Master of the War God Temple and the Vast Ocean Douluo."

Chen Xinjie! Chu Ci was extremely surprised; he was here too.

Chen Xinjie is not only the master of the Temple of War Gods but also the commander of the Sea God Legion. However, he usually stays in the Sea God Legion, while the Temple of War Gods is mostly managed by Guan Yue.

Chu Ci's mind raced, and he respectfully said, "This junior greets the Palace Master and the Deputy Palace Master."

Mu Chen also became serious and greeted them respectfully. After all, the two people in front of him were the Hall Master and Vice Hall Master of the War God Hall, both Limit Douluo and four-word Battle Armor Masters. Even though he was a rare Saint Craftsman in the world, he still had to treat them with utmost respect.

Chen Xinjie nodded slightly, and Guan Yue gestured for the two of them to sit down.

After exchanging a glance, Long Tianwu and Su Mengjun took their leave.

Chu Ci sat opposite Chen Xinjie. Chen Xinjie looked up at Chu Ci and suddenly found himself on a small island, surrounded by a vast ocean. A surging tsunami was rising on the ocean, like a ferocious beast with its mouth wide open, about to swallow Chu Ci whole.

Chu Ci stared blankly as the tsunami crashed towards him, at a loss for what to do.

A chilling sensation spread from his right hand throughout his body, and Chu Ci jolted awake, realizing that he had fallen into an illusion.

Chu Ci mobilized her spiritual power to begin the resistance, circulating the Qingxin Jue (a mental cultivation technique) to stabilize her spiritual power and prevent it from being disturbed.

But the tsunami had already crashed heavily onto Chu Ci, and the defenses established by the Qingxin Jue collapsed.

As the huge waves crashed against Chu Ci, Chu Ci's spiritual power was like a small boat in a storm, tossed and turned in the raging waves, about to capsize at any moment.

Chapter 36 Discussing Soul Soldiers

"Hoo," Chu Ci was soaked by the seawater, and droplets of water dripped down her bangs, her eyes becoming increasingly ferocious.

Chu Ci wiped her face, stopped circulating the Heart-Clearing Technique, and made up her mind that since she couldn't defend against it, she would take the initiative to attack.

Tianzhu and Chu Ci became connected in spirit, and Chu Ci's spiritual power began to rise continuously, and his eyes also turned into heterochromatic eyes, one red and one white.

Facing the tsunami that was rushing in again, Chu Ci roared and unleashed a domineering aura, punching the tsunami.

"Crack," a sound like something shattering rang out, and the tsunami and the sea in front of Chu Ci shattered like glass, turning into dust and dissipating.

"Huff, huff," Chu Ci, who was leaning against the sofa, suddenly opened his eyes and gasped for breath.

"Not bad, the younger generation is truly formidable." Chen Xinjie, the instigator of all this, nodded approvingly as he looked at Chu Ci, who had emerged from the illusion.

Chu Ci's face turned ugly, after all, anyone would be unhappy to be suddenly tricked by someone.

Mu Chen watched with great interest as his palace master seemed to be giving his genius a hard time.

Faced with Chu Ci's dissatisfaction, Chen Xinjie reminded her, "Try to recall how you felt just now."

Chu Ci frowned in confusion, but still concentrated her mental energy to carefully savor the feeling she had just experienced.

In this recollection, Chu Ci was surprised to find that the memory of those tsunamis crashing against his body was so clear. Chu Ci immediately activated his Sage Time to carefully comprehend it, and soon vaguely sensed that these tsunamis actually contained soul skills related to the use of spiritual power.

Realizing this, Chu Ci immediately expressed her gratitude, saying, "Thank you for your guidance, Palace Master."

Chen Xinjie waved his hand, "No need to thank me. This is my apology for attacking your mental strength just now. You deserve it."

“Yes, there’s no need for thanks, child,” Guan Yue said with a smile. “It’s only fair to apologize for the trouble I’ve caused you. Fairness and impartiality are Old Chen’s consistent principles, and also the principles of the Temple of War.”

When she said her last sentence, Guan Yue's tone was meaningful.

"This junior understands!" Chu Ci said, bowing.

"Everyone," Mu Chen said, seeing that Chen Xinjie and Guan Yue were talking to Chu Ci while he was left out, "There's plenty of time for instruction. Shouldn't we focus on discussing the Soul Weapon now?"

"I'm sorry," Guan Yue said apologetically. "Old Chen and I saw that Chu Ci was exceptionally talented, and we couldn't help but be excited and neglected Master Mu Chen. I'm truly sorry."

At this moment, Mu Chen, who was seething with anger but had nowhere to vent it, froze, suddenly realizing that he was at a complete disadvantage in this discussion. Damn it, this show of force was actually aimed at him.

"Ahem," Guan Yue cleared her throat and looked intently at Chu Ci. "Chu Ci, Lao Chen and I have already looked at the data you submitted, but we still want to see the special features of the Soul Weapon."

“Alright,” Chu Ci stood up and summoned the Heavenly Candle, introducing the Soul Weapon to Chen Xinjie and Guan Yue and demonstrating the Heavenly Candle’s special abilities.

After the demonstration, Chen Xinjie and Guan Yue both exclaimed in admiration.

"Amazing, I never expected that the Soul Weapon would actually be forged." Guan Yue exclaimed.

Chen Xinjie asked Chu Ci, "Could you show me the Heavenly Candle?"

After pondering for two seconds, Chu Ci nodded and gently soothed Tianzhu for a while before it agreed to be held securely in Chen Xinjie's hand.

Chu Ci handed the Heavenly Candle to Chen Xinjie. Chen Xinjie took the Heavenly Candle, and a vast, ocean-like soul power emanated from his body. Then, a soul power as blue as the ocean surged out and slowly enveloped the Heavenly Candle, as if it were probing something.

After a while, Chen Xinjie withdrew his soul power, returned the Heavenly Candle to Chu Ci, and exclaimed, "Perfectly natural, a masterpiece of craftsmanship."

"I wonder how the constantly evolving Soul Weapon compares to the Four-Word Battle Armor?" Chen Xinjie asked another crucial question.
