Douluo: The Fallen Garuda, Feathers Crossing the Mortal Realm

Kong Deming's aged fingers gently stroked the royal token engraved with sun and moon patterns, representing Xu Qingya, and a hint of nostalgia and sadness appeared on his deeply lined face.

After a moment, Kong Deming looked up at Fu Yu on the sofa and said gently, but with a slightly hoarse voice, "Can you tell me how Qingya got into trouble?"

Fu Yu sat upright, as it was only natural for his elders to want to know the reason.

After pondering for a moment and organizing his thoughts, Fu Yu began to recount how he lived in the Zhang family, how he learned Xu Qingya's identity, and the events surrounding the attack on the Zhang family.

When Kong Deming first heard that Xu Qingya was living a good life in the Heavenly Soul Empire, a relieved smile appeared on his face.

She has a man who loves her and a lovely daughter. If that's all there is to it, it's not bad at all.

But when Fu Yu recounted the attack on the Zhang family by the evil spirit masters, Kong Deming's face instantly darkened, and the air in the dean's office froze instantly.

The oppressive atmosphere lasted for about a minute before finally dissipating with Kong Deming's next breath.

"A very complete story." Kong Deming finally spoke, his eyes narrowing slightly, his gaze sharp as a knife. "So complete...it's as if you really lived in the Zhang family."

At this moment, not only Kong Deming was looking at Fu Yu with suspicion, but Jing Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen, who were listening quietly to the side, were also looking at him with similar eyes.

Only Meng Hongchen was somewhat better, her head bowed, her fingers casually playing with her wine-red hair.

The woman's keen intuition allowed her to sense that what Fu Yu said was true, but the details were still difficult to understand.

Fu Yu was somewhat helpless; he couldn't believe her when she told the truth.

However, he also knew that there were many issues involved that would make it difficult for people to believe without being clearly explained.

"I did grow up in the Zhang family. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me, and I will answer them."

Kong Deming snorted coldly, staring at Fu Yu with a gloomy face, and asked, "The biggest point here is, since you were already dead back then, who are you now?"

"That's because I was resurrected, of course," Fu Yu said helplessly, shrugging his shoulders.

"Resurrection?!" Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen exclaimed in unison.

Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen remained silent, wanting to hear Fu Yu's next explanation.

Fu Yu said with certainty, "That's right, it's resurrection. There must be quite a few things like this in the history of the Soul Master world."

"As far as I know, in the Spirit Hall era ten thousand years ago in Douluo Continent, there was a person who died and was resurrected, and even became a Title Douluo. That person's title was Ghost."

Fu Yu paused for a moment and then continued, "Many evil soul masters' martial soul awakenings are related to death, and there are quite a few similar cases. I shouldn't be considered a precedent, right?"

Kong Deming nodded in agreement and said, "Your knowledge of martial spirits is indeed extensive. That's right. Such things are not uncommon in the history of the continent. Whether it is the history of the Three Kingdoms or the history of my Sun Moon, there are similar detailed records."

Kong Deming stared at Fu Yu with sharp eyes again: "But most of their martial souls are related to the soul or body, but I can sense that the martial soul in your body should be of the fire attribute."

Fu Yu laughed and said, "But who says a fire-attribute martial soul can't be resurrected? The fire phoenix can be reborn from the ashes, can't it?"

As Fu Yu spoke, the dazzling first ring of the millennium rose up in front of everyone.

At the same time, his body began to change. His azure eyes turned crimson, his long white and red hair reached his waist, and gilded arm armor and gold and red patterns appeared on his body. Streams of flames swirled around him.

A golden-red divine bird appeared behind Fu Yu, and with its high-pitched cry, the temperature in the office suddenly rose.

"A fire phoenix?!"

Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen exclaimed in surprise.

Xiao Hongchen's eyes were filled with surprise and horror. He felt a strong suppression of his martial spirit from the divine bird in front of him, which resembled a fire phoenix. The three-legged golden toad's essence within his body was actually trembling.

As for Meng Hongchen, her eyes were filled with infatuation. Fu Yu's crimson eyes and white hair captivated her at first glance, and she murmured to herself, "So handsome, he looks just like me!"

Because of the special nature of the Zhu Qing Ice Toad, after Meng Hongchen's martial soul possesses her, her azure eyes will also turn red, and her wine-red hair will turn white, with a shimmering ice-blue halo.

"Ultimate Fire!!"

As for Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen, they wouldn't be surprised by the appearance of a martial soul; these titled Douluo look more at its inner qualities.

The blazing flames emanating from Fu Yu, far surpassing ordinary fire attributes, instantly reminded them of the devastating defeat in the history of the Sun Moon Empire.

At that time, the leader of the three kingdoms of Douluo Continent, the Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion of Shrek Academy, possessed the Ultimate Fire Martial Soul.

After that war, the terrifying combat power of the Ultimate Fire was finally emphasized and recorded by the surviving high-ranking officials of the Sun Moon Empire.

Therefore, when Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen first sensed such terrifying flames, the first word that flashed through their minds was "ultimate fire".

Moreover, Kong Deming could even faintly sense that the second martial soul within him was showing some fear, which was a strong suppression from a high-level fire attribute on a low-level one.

It's just that because Kong Deming's cultivation level is much higher than Fu Yu's, this feeling isn't very strong.

Fu Yu listened to the different exclamations from the people around him, and both nodded and shook his head.

"It is indeed the ultimate fire, but it is not a fire phoenix. I call it Garuda."

As Fu Yu spoke, he raised his arm and swiftly slashed across the upper arm with the tip of his other arm armor, leaving a bloody gash about ten centimeters long in front of everyone.

But before Meng Hongchen could even cry out in surprise, countless streams of flame surged past, and the bloodstain vanished before everyone's eyes.

"That's how it is. After I died, my martial spirit naturally awakened, and its powerful self-healing ability allowed me to be resurrected from the grave a few months ago."

Kong Deming looked at Fu Yu after he was possessed by the Martial Soul, opened his mouth and said with a slight apology, "Alright, I believe you. The moment you displayed the ultimate fire, your words could no longer be a lie."

"This lie is too easy to verify. I can easily find out the truth by sending anyone to inspect the Zhang residence and the cemetery."

At this point, Kong Deming sighed and said, "Moreover, no family would send out the Ultimate Flame to gain our trust. You know, the ultimate attribute represents a future Limit Douluo."

"This is someone who can single-handedly govern an entire nation. Even I am only at that level in terms of combat strength."

Looking at Fu Yu in his Martial Soul Possession state, Kong Deming smiled and waved his hand, saying, "That's enough, let's remove the Martial Soul."

However, Kong Deming frowned again after he finished speaking.
