Douluo Continent: Conflict descends, gods are slain and gods ascend!

"A 50% increase in all attributes?" Xu Xiaoyan couldn't understand the power of the soul skill, but her mother knew very well how powerful the soul skill Yun Chen had obtained was.

Whether it's the ancient Soul Masters or the present era with Soul Spirits and even the ability to ascend to higher levels, the combination of Soul Skills has always been a challenge for Soul Masters. Most Soul Masters may not even acquire nine Soul Rings in their lifetime, let alone a 100,000-year Soul Ring that can grant two Soul Skills.

Therefore, how to reasonably combine the limited number of soul skills is a problem that every soul master has to face, and there are quite a few people like Yun Chen who choose amplification-type soul skills for their first soul ring.

However, the fact that Yun Chen's first soul skill provided a 50% boost to all attributes still surprised Xu's mother. In the tens of thousands of years of history of the Douluo Continent, soul skills possessing such an effect are extremely rare. Even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, once hailed as the number one support-type martial soul in the world, only had a soul skill that boosted a single attribute.

"Could this be the power of the original martial soul? Or is that Blood Rage Lion Tiger really that powerful? Isn't it an artificial soul spirit?" Mother Xu muttered to herself in confusion.

Yun Chen himself didn't know why he had obtained such a soul skill, but he was quite satisfied with it. In the Douluo Continent III era, it was truly an era where beast-type martial souls were worthless and weapon-type martial souls couldn't hold their heads high. After all, the chosen one Tang Wulin and the love-struck Silver Dragon King truly wielded the divine weapon Golden and Silver Dragon Spears, possessed the bloodline of the Golden and Silver Dragon Kings, and their power overwhelmed all other martial souls.

"Anyway, Brother Chen's martial spirit is very powerful, right?" Xu Xiaoyan didn't understand, but she was impressed.

"Hmm, Xiao Chen's first soul skill is very powerful. Xiao Yan, you should also work hard in the future." Xu's mother rubbed Xu Xiao Yan's head. "By the way, the start of the Soul Master Academy is coming soon. Xiao Chen, your uncle and I have discussed it and are planning to send you and Xiao Yan to the East Sea Junior Soul Master Academy. But you know Xiao Yan's situation. When you get to the academy, you have to help Auntie take good care of her."

"Okay, I'll keep an eye on Xiaoyan." Yun Chen nodded in agreement.

Upon hearing that she had to go to school, Xu Xiaoyan's cheerful face immediately fell.

"Can we not go?" Xu Xiaoyan asked timidly.

Seeing her like this, Yun Chen was about to speak up to persuade her, but Xu's mother spoke first: "Of course you can. If Xiao Yan doesn't want to go, then she doesn't have to go. Mom can teach you at home. But Xiao Chen has to go to school, so you won't be able to be with Xiao Chen every day anymore."

"Oh? No, I don't want to. Brother Chen is going to school, so I'll go too!" Xu Xiaoyan said immediately.

Xu's mother looked at her daughter with a smile; her daughter's personality was completely controlled by her mother.

Xu Xiaoyan doesn't yet understand the concept of romantic love. But having lived with Yun Chen since childhood, and given her somewhat timid personality, she simply cannot imagine being separated from him.

Yun Chen was also puzzled by this. Shouldn't Xu Xiaoyan be a little cunning in the original work? How come he didn't feel it at all?

He only thought this to himself. If he were to discuss it with other members of the Xu family, such as Comrade Xu Xiaoyu, the other party would definitely stare at him wide-eyed and question him: "Are you serious?"

In front of Yun Chen, Xu Xiaoyan is a cute, gentle, and slightly mischievous little sister; in front of Xu Xiaoyu, however, she is a "good" little sister who secretly stabs him in the back.

……

The following day, under the butler's guidance, Yun Chen and Xu Xiaoyan completed their enrollment procedures at Donghai Junior Academy. After finishing the procedures and returning home, Xu Xiaoyan suddenly became interested in playing. Only after consulting with Xu's mother did the butler allow them to play outside for half a day.

Just as they were about to get in the car and go home, they heard a sound coming from a side alley.

"I've been watching this little girl for ages. She just wanders around like this, and no adults have come looking for her. I think she's an orphan, and she's so pretty, she'll definitely fetch a good price."

Hearing this, Yun Chen frowned. Under the federal government's rule, the Douluo Continent was indeed much safer than before. However, the sordid crime of child trafficking was unavoidable in any era. Yun Chen couldn't simply ignore such a situation.

Of course, he dared to do this entirely because he was accompanied by the Xu family's steward. After all, this steward was a level 31 Soul Master, while those who dared to engage in child trafficking were mostly ordinary people. With this steward by his side, his safety was guaranteed.

"Uncle Butler, let's go take a look," Yun Chen said.

The butler had naturally overheard what was said. Seeing that Yun Chen wanted to go and check on things, he didn't stop him. He was also pleased that Yun Chen was so kind-hearted.

As the group entered the alley, they saw several thugs surrounding a little girl squatting on the ground, gesturing and pointing at her. They were spouting vulgarities about her value and where they were going to sell her, making Yun Chen want to kill them on the spot. Human trafficking, regardless of the era, is the most unforgivable crime. In Yun Chen's view, these people had no value in life.

Upon noticing someone approaching, the group of thugs immediately stopped their discussion. Their expressions changed instantly when they turned and saw Yun Chen and his group.

Being caught red-handed is never a good thing for human traffickers. However, seeing that the newcomers were just two children and an old man, they couldn't help but harbor evil thoughts.

"Uncle Butler, we'll leave them to you," Yun Chen said.

"Okay, Xiao Chen, take good care of Xiao Yan." The butler replied with a smile, and then three yellow spirit rings rose from his feet, and a carved long staff appeared in his hand.

The butler easily subdued the few ordinary human traffickers. He then immediately pulled out his soul-guided communicator and called the police, ordering the Donghai City law enforcement team to send someone to take these scoundrels back. In this era of the rule of law, those who commit crimes must be punished by law.

After the butler dragged the others away, Yun Chen and Xu Xiaoyan approached the little girl. Looking at the silver-haired girl before him, Yun Chen couldn't help but have a guess. But remembering they were in Donghai City, not Aolai City, he dismissed the idea.

Xu Xiaoyan, who had been hiding behind Yun Chen, suddenly jumped out. She squatted down in front of the little girl and asked with a grin, "You're so pretty! My name is Xu Xiaoyan, what's your name?"

The little girl stared blankly at Xu Xiaoyan in front of her, then timidly looked up at Yun Chen before finally speaking, "My name is Na'er."
