Douluo Continent: Starting from the Fusion of My Martial Soul with Xiao Xiao

next day

As dawn broke, the bustling city of Lingdou Imperial Capital began to operate methodically, like a massive machine that had been wound up.

The flow of people moving through the city streets is what powers this massive machine.

After having breakfast at a high-end restaurant on the street, Xue Yuheng returned to the Xiao family and spent a lot of effort explaining to the Soul-Chasing Douluo of the Soul-Suppressing Clan what a God-level Martial Soul was.

The three of them went together to the Jinwu family, the Wu family, in the northern suburbs of the city.

This is a large estate similar to the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, covering thousands of acres. Although it is not as magnificent and luxurious as the former, with its carved beams and painted rafters, it still has its own unique characteristics.

At the manor gate, the patrolling guards, having received word early in the morning, toned down their usual arrogance and led the three into the manor's main hall.

Beside the garden corridor with floor-to-ceiling windows stood a young girl, about 1.75 meters tall, with her golden-red hair tied in a high ponytail. The fiery hair color made her skin look as white as jade, and her eyebrows and eyes were bright and sharp.

The fiery red custom-made Shrek Academy inner courtyard outfit accentuated his tall and straight figure, surrounded by a pale gold-red flame halo.

Xue Yuheng glanced at her and immediately recognized her as Wu Ming. She was one of the Shrek Seven Devils and would be participating in the Heaven Dou Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament, led by her senior sister Zhang Lexuan, in a few months.

Wu Ming was admiring the flowers when she saw three guests who had been waiting for a long time. She quickly greeted them with a smile: "Wu Ming greets Soul Chaser, Your Highness the Crown Prince, and Your Highness the Crown Princess."

"How is your great-grandmother's health?" Xiao Shuying, who looks to be forty years old, was known as one of the Twin Pearls of Fighting Spirits a hundred years ago, along with the Proud Sun Douluo of the Golden Crow Clan.

Wu Ming looked troubled and did not answer. Xiao Shuying sighed inwardly and did not ask any further questions.

This Radiant Douluo forcibly broke through the Super Douluo barrier three years ago, which caused serious health problems.

The main hall of the Wu family is in a style reminiscent of a European palace.

On the sofa, an elderly woman with white hair lay on her side, her face pale and looking like she was terminally ill.

Xiao Shuying, Xiao Xiao, and Xue Yuheng all felt something upon seeing this.

In front of the three juniors, Xiao Shuying bluntly said, "Why are you doing this? Even if you break through to Super Douluo, Luo Yun won't even give you a second glance."

Who is Luo Yun? He is the Heavenly Sun Douluo, known to everyone in the Douling Empire.

Xue Yuheng and Xiao Xiao exchanged a glance, smacked their lips, and remained silent.

No wonder it's the continent where Cupid fell.

The white-haired old woman's face was flushed, clearly angered by Xiao Shuying's words. She laughed and scolded, "Who told you that I broke through to Super Douluo for that cowardly thing?"

Stop bringing up my embarrassing moments, spit it out!

Reaching the Title Douluo level means standing at the pinnacle of the continent; such a person wouldn't visit unless there's a reason. For Xiao Shuying to make a personal trip like this, there must be something fishy going on.

Xiao Shuying chuckled and said, "Back when we were at Shrek Academy, didn't you remember being rewarded with a Fire Phoenix Feather by the academy for killing a Soul Saint-level evil Soul Master?"

"No, although my Golden Crow family doesn't need it, I still plan to take such a peerless treasure to my coffin with me," the old woman said calmly.

"Do you know what a god-level martial soul is?" Xiao Shuying asked, feigning profundity.

Xue Yuheng and Xiao Xiao barely managed to suppress their laughter.

This is like learning something new and then putting it into practice.

The old woman seemed to have become somewhat interested. With Wu Ming's help, she sat or lay down on one side of the sofa, waiting for Xiao Shuying to continue.

"My good-for-nothing great-granddaughter has the potential to advance to a god-level martial soul, which means she has the potential to become a god."

"Your Fire Phoenix True Feathers are too low-level. I'd like to borrow the Golden Crow True Source from your Golden Crow Clan." Xiao Shuying repeated Xue Yuheng's words.

The expression on the face of the Pride of the Sun Douluo changed repeatedly, while Wu Ming, standing to the side, also lowered his head and pondered for a long time.

God.

That single word alone was enough to make the grandfather and grandson feel suffocated.

How did the three of them manage to remain completely calm and composed?

"The Golden Crow True Source was obtained by my Golden Crow family seven hundred years ago from a forty-thousand-year-old Sun Ruler that we hunted in the volcanic region of the Star Dou Great Forest. It is comparable to the inner core of an ordinary one-hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast..."

The white-haired old woman took the initiative to introduce the product, and she was tempted; she was adding more offers.

Knowing that her days were numbered and that her family was in turmoil, the Pride of the Sun Douluo had to find a powerful protector for her family.

Just as Xiao Shuying was about to make some grandiose promises to win over her old friend, Xue Yuheng suddenly spoke up beside her.

"I can help Senior Sister Wu Ming's martial soul evolve into a demigod-level martial soul..." Looking at the four people present, Xue Yuheng changed the subject:

"However, we need the Golden Crow family to provide some materials."

"Your Highness, is this true?" The Radiant Sun Douluo's face was rosy, and his spirits had improved considerably. He asked excitedly.

Suppressing her dissatisfaction, Xiao Shuying added, "The plan for Xiao Xiao's martial soul evolution was also proposed by His Highness the Crown Prince."

Xiao Shuying was naturally dissatisfied because this step was not in the plan.

The Golden Crow family is embroiled in a power struggle and is already in decline.

The best strategy would be to take over the Golden Crow Clan by leveraging Xiao Xiao's divine martial soul.

To make Wu Ming's martial soul evolve to some demigod level, isn't that just causing trouble?

After some consideration, Xiao Shuying acquiesced, since Xue Yuheng was the key to Xiao Xiao's martial soul evolution, and it wouldn't be good to anger this Crown Prince.

No permanent friends, only permanent interests.

"A demigod-level martial soul is enough to allow Senior Sister Wu Ming to cultivate all the way to the Limit Douluo level without any obstacles. Therefore, the conditions she has to pay are also extremely high, no less than the conditions for Xiao Xiao's god-level martial soul advancement."

Xue Yuheng touched his nose and said seriously.

Xiao Xiao, who knew him well, knew that Xiao Xue's subconscious action was because she was holding back her anger.

That's right, Xue Yuheng is preparing to make a big fuss.

He was well aware of Xiao Shuying's plan to use this opportunity to annex the Golden Crow Clan, but as the Crown Prince of the Douling Empire, Xue Yuheng would not sit idly by and watch the Zhenhun Clan grow stronger.

"Your Highness, this action has far-reaching consequences. Please allow us to discuss it." The Proud Sun Douluo sighed and gave Xiao Shuying and Xue Yuheng a deep look. How could she not know the difference between these two, like wolves and tigers?

One just spits out bones, the other doesn't.

The declining Golden Crow family had no choice.

Jiaoyang Douluo instructed his maid to summon the leaders of the various factions within the family to a meeting.

This meeting within the Jinwu family, concerning Wu Ming, continued until evening.

Despite opposition from many, the Radiant Sun Douluo finally approved Wu Ming's plan to advance her demigod-level martial soul.

Wu Ming's parents were very happy, which meant that their direct line had a high probability of becoming the next patriarch of the family.

After the meeting, Xue Yuheng and the other two returned to the main hall from the side courtyard.

A list of material costs drafted by Xue Yuheng, which was just within the Jinwu family's budget, appeared on Jiaoyang Douluo's desk.

The old woman seemed to have aged several years overnight. What does this mean?

There are people within the family associated with this Prince Qian!

Three days later, Xue Yuheng went to the meeting alone.

He wasn't making baseless accusations; shortly after meeting Wu Ming, a panel about her appeared on the Wordless Heavenly Book.

After the Heavenly Book deduced the direction, Wu Ming's martial soul evolution became clear instantly.

As for why he is considered a demigod, Xue Yuheng speculated that it was because the Heavenly Book only rated Wu Ming's talent as "mediocre".

Xiao Xiao, a genius with twin martial souls, is only classified as a "Category C talent" in the Heavenly Book's assessment, which shows how high its standards are.

In Wu Ming's boudoir

"Senior Wu Ming, try to wear less clothing; this will increase your chances of success." Xue Yuheng was blindfolded by Wu Ming.

"Why do you call me senior?" Wu Ming asked shyly. Given their current situation, even she, with her pride and arrogance, couldn't help but feel ashamed.

"Because I will go to study at the number one academy on the continent sooner or later."

After taking a moment to assess the situation, Xue Yuheng reminded him, "You still need to reduce it."

"How about this?"

"We still need to reduce it."

"How about this then!" Wu Ming retorted, having given up entirely.

"That's too little..."

"..."

With the help of the Fire Phoenix True Feather, Golden Crow Sand, Sun Fruit, three five-thousand-year-old fire-attribute soul bones, and ten Creation Points, Wu Ming's martial soul successfully evolved from Golden Crow to Sun Golden Crow.

The Golden Crow family's efforts paid off; a miracle occurred after Wu Ming's martial soul evolved.

Her first spirit ring's age evolved from seven hundred years to a thousand years!

The remaining four soul rings also received varying degrees of age increases, and his cultivation level broke through from level fifty-seven to the level sixty Soul Emperor realm.

Once Wu Ming acquires a single spirit ring, he will be a true Soul Emperor.

A nineteen-year-old Soul Emperor is a peerless genius on the continent.

The second day after Wu Ming's martial soul evolved,

Xue Yuheng appeared with Xiao Xiao in the eastern suburbs of Lingdou City.

They spent the morning familiarizing themselves with the motorcycle-like Soul Guidance Vehicle, which Xue Yuheng had hired at great expense in gold soul coins to build.

Xue Yuheng was driving, and Xiao Xiao was holding onto his waist.

"Minor Snow! Let's go! To the Xuanming Sect!"
