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

The golden power of creation around Xue Yuheng surged continuously, firmly protecting Xiao Xiao behind him. His gaze swept over Yan Shaozhe and the other two, finally landing on Mu En without the slightest fear.

"Elder Mu, I think I need an explanation." Xue Yuheng's voice was calm, yet carried a hint of pressure. "I only came to the Soul Guidance Department to forge a soul tool, and my fiancée ended up fighting with the deans?"

Yan Shaozhe's face turned pale and then red. He wanted to speak up and explain, but Mu En stopped him by raising his hand.

Mu En, leaning on his cane, slowly walked forward. He glanced deeply at Xiao Xiao with his cloudy eyes, then turned to Xue Yuheng and said slowly, "Your Highness, there is no need to be angry."

"It's just that Xiao Xiao's martial spirit is too special. I was just curious, so I had Shao Zhe test it out."

"Your Highness, do you know what this level of martial spirit represents? Once word gets out, the entire continent will go crazy for it."

"Don't even mention the Sun Moon Empire won't let you off the hook; even those reclusive sects will stop at nothing to seize it."

"No need for Elder Mu to worry about that," Xue Yuheng said calmly. "We already discussed it in the dean's office last time."

Since I dared to expose this ancient practice openly, I was already prepared to bear all the consequences.

Xue Yuheng looked directly at Mu En: "Shrek, in the end, is just an academy."

Even the top academy on the continent has no right to interfere in the affairs of my Douling Empire, much less the affairs of those around me.

The moment these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the corridor instantly plummeted to freezing point.

Yan Shaozhe was so angry that he trembled all over. He pointed at Xue Yuheng but couldn't say a word for a long time.

Xianlin'er wouldn't allow any student to speak to her teacher like that, and was about to take action.

Mu En stopped Xian Lin'er, not angry, but staring intently at Xue Yuheng for a long time before slowly speaking: "Xiao Xiao's martial soul, could it be the legendary god-level martial soul?"

The Temple of the Sea God contains records of the divine war that took place ten thousand years ago. Of course, this is something that no one else can access except the Lord of the Sea God Pavilion and the successive Deans.

"A god-level martial soul?"

Yan Shaozhe, Qian Duoduo, and Xian Lin'er were all stunned, their faces full of confusion.

They've lived this long and have never heard of any god-level martial soul.

In their understanding, top-tier martial souls are those with ultimate attributes and those of the dragon or phoenix type; beyond that, there is no further distinction.

Xue Yuheng nodded, not denying it: "That's right, it's a god-level martial soul."

Furthermore, Xue Qingwu, who came with me, possesses an ultimate ice-attribute martial soul that is also god-level. I hope the academy will not dwell too much on their martial souls in the future, and even less so send anyone to investigate them.

Otherwise, you will bear the consequences.

Xue Yuheng believed that he still had the ability.

If Shrek really angers him, then he'll call for reinforcements.

Don't forget, there's an evil emperor waiting in the Demon Forest.

Moon sighed, remaining silent, his heart churning with turmoil.

A god-level martial soul! God-level martial souls actually exist!

And two of them appeared at once!

What he feared even more was Xue Yuheng himself.

When Xue Yuheng unleashed his power of creation just now, he clearly felt a sense of oppression originating from the depths of his soul.

It wasn't the pressure of soul power, nor the pressure of mental power, but a higher level of pressure, as if it came from a god.

He had only ever experienced this feeling on the statue left behind by the Sea God Tang San in the Sea God Temple.

Could this twelve-year-old boy really possess godlike power?

Or is he hiding some secret that even he himself can't see through?

The more Moon thought about it, the more wary he became.

He knew that no matter what, he couldn't afford to break ties with Xue Yuheng today.

"Alright." Mu En finally nodded. "I promise you, the academy will not investigate Xiao Xiao and Xue Qingwu. I hope Your Highness will take heed."

After saying that, he gave Xue Yuheng a deep look, turned around, leaned on his cane, and slowly left.

After Mu En left, the atmosphere in the corridor eased considerably. Yan Shaozhe snorted coldly, turned his face away, and remained silent. Qian Duoduo quickly tried to smooth things over: "Oh dear, it's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding! Your Highness, Xiao Xiao, please don't take it to heart."

Xue Yuheng ignored him, took Xiao Xiao's hand, and turned to walk towards the materials warehouse: "Let's go, let's get another piece of metal."

This time, no one dared to stop him.

Xue Yuheng picked out a fist-sized piece of Crimson Flame Refined Gold from the materials warehouse, and then, with Xiao Xiao in tow, they entered the No. 3 Special Grade Forging Room once again.

The heavy alloy door closed again, isolating it from the outside world.

The forging room was brightly lit, and various precision instruments gleamed with a metallic luster under the lights.

Xue Yuheng placed the Crimson Flame Essence Gold and the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal on the forging table. Then, with a flick of his finger, a wisp of golden life essence overflowed from his fingertip, condensing into a golden needle as thin as a cow's hair.

"Watch closely." Xue Yuheng turned back and smiled at Xiao Xiao. "The most crucial aspect of forging a soul guide core is the control of mental power."

A small difference can lead to a huge error.

As soon as he finished speaking, his gaze became focused. A surge of powerful spiritual energy erupted, firmly enveloping the Crimson Flame Refined Gold.

The golden needle spun rapidly at his fingertips, like a nimble butterfly, carving fine lines into the crimson gold.

His mental strength had reached the level of a Limit Douluo, and his control precision far surpassed that of ordinary people. Every line was incredibly precise, with consistent depth and no deviation whatsoever.

The violent fire-attribute energy within the Crimson Flame Refined Gold became incredibly docile under his mental guidance, flowing slowly along the engraved patterns.

Xiao Xiao stood to the side, quietly watching Xue Yuheng. The light shone on his profile, outlining his handsome features.

His focused expression possessed an indescribable charm. Xiao Xiao's heart skipped a beat, and her cheeks flushed slightly.

She had never been in contact with soul tools before and thought they were just cold, metallic lumps.

But now, watching Xue Yuheng forge it, she suddenly felt that soul tools weren't so bad after all.

"This is a soul power amplifier, used to amplify the soul power output of a soul master." Xue Yuheng explained to Xiao Xiao without turning his head as he carved. "That is an energy converter, which can convert energy of different attributes into the energy needed by the soul tool."

And that big guy over there is the prototype of the level 8 soul-guided cannon, but it's just an empty shell right now.

Most of them are imitations that Xianlin'er made herself.

Xiao Xiao listened attentively, nodding occasionally.

She had an excellent memory; she remembered the name and purpose of every instrument Xue Yuheng had mentioned.

Time passed by, second by second.

The sky outside the window gradually darkened and then gradually brightened again. The lights in the forge, however, remained on.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Xue Yuheng's forehead, but his carving speed did not slow down in the slightest. Finally, when the last line was carved, he let out a long sigh of relief.

A crimson soul core lay quietly on the forging table, radiating a scorching heat. The patterns on the core's surface flowed with golden light, perfectly flawless.

"Alright, the fire attribute core is complete." Xue Yuheng wiped the sweat from his forehead, picked up the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal, and said, "Next up is the ice attribute one."

He picked up the gold needle again and threw himself into the intense carving.

This time, he was even faster. With his previous experience, he was much more adept at carving the Ice Extreme God Crystal stored in the Soul Guidance Ring.

The extreme cold power within the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal obediently condensed in its core under his mental guidance.

When the clock struck ten at night, the door to the No. 3 Special Grade Forging Room finally opened again.

Xue Yuheng led Xiao Xiao out.

His face showed a hint of fatigue, but his eyes were unusually bright. In his hands, he held two soul guide cores.

One core was as red as fire, the other as blue as ice. The two cores complemented each other, radiating terrifying energy fluctuations.

Red and blue light flowed in his palm, so beautiful that it was impossible to look away.

Qian Duoduo, Yan Shaozhe, and Xian Lin'er rushed over almost simultaneously. They had already been informed by the teacher and had been waiting in the corridor.

When they saw the two cores in Xue Yuheng's hand, their eyes widened in disbelief.

"This...this is a level seven soul guide core?" Qian Duoduo asked in a trembling voice, reaching out to touch it, but afraid of breaking it.

"Hmm." Xue Yuheng nodded. "The fire attribute ones are made of Crimson Flame Refined Gold, and the ice attribute ones are made of Ice Extreme Divine Crystal."

They're all at the peak of level seven quality, just one step away from level eight.

"Peak of Level Seven!"

Xian Lin'er gasped, her face filled with disbelief.

In the entire Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department, only she and Qian Duoduo are level eight Soul Guidance Masters, Teacher Fan Yu is at the peak of level seven, and there are two other Soul Guidance Masters who have just broken through to level seven.

But Xue Yuheng is only twelve years old!

A novice who has never received formal soul tool training created two peak level seven soul tool cores on his first forging attempt!

This is simply a fantasy!

Yan Shaozhe was completely dumbfounded. He originally thought that Xue Yuheng was just lucky and that it would be good enough if she could make a level one or two soul tool.

But now, two peak level seven soul guide cores are right in front of him, leaving him no choice but to believe it.

He looked at Xue Yuheng, his eyes filled with a complex light.

This young man is simply a monster. Whether it's martial spirit cultivation or soul tool forging, he has reached a level that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve.

"Xue Yuheng!" Yan Shaozhe was the first to react and quickly said, "With such great talent, you must come to the Martial Soul Department! I will personally teach you!"

I guarantee I'll give you the best resources and the best guidance! You'll definitely become the strongest Soul Master on the continent in the future!

"Hey, hey, hey! Yan Shaozhe, can't you be reasonable?!" Qian Duoduo immediately objected, grabbing Xue Yuheng's other arm. "Your Highness is clearly a genius in soul tools! Of course you should come to our Soul Tool Department!"

From now on, our Soul Guidance Department will be dominated by Xue Yuheng! I'd even give you my headmaster position!

"Bullshit! Your Highness is a Soul Master, of course you should go to the Martial Soul Department!"

"The Soul Guidance Department is Your Highness's true destiny!"

The two argued fiercely, like two children fighting over candy.

Xian Lin'er also stood to the side, looking at Xue Yuheng with eager eyes, clearly hoping that he could join the Soul Guidance Department.

Xue Yuheng was being pulled by the arms, feeling both amused and exasperated.

Just then, Yan Shaozhe suddenly stopped. He looked at Xue Yuheng and asked in confusion, "By the way, Xue Yuheng, after talking for so long, I still don't know what kind of martial soul you have?"

Upon hearing this, Qian Duoduo and Xian Lin'er both looked at Xue Yuheng.

Only then did they realize that after all this trouble, they didn't even know what Xue Yuheng's martial soul was.

When Xue Yuheng unleashed his golden aura before, everyone thought he was a power-attack type Soul Master, after all, that power was too domineering.

Xue Yuheng smiled and said casually, "Level 30, support-type battle spirit master. My martial spirit, I call it the Wordless Heavenly Book."

"A support-type Soul Master?"

The three of them were stunned at the same time, their faces filled with confusion.

"What is a support-type Soul Master?" Yan Shaozhe asked, frowning. "Xue Yuheng, please stop secretly categorizing Soul Martial Arts. Support-type only includes healing, buffing, and defensive types. What kind of Soul Master is this?"

"That's right." Qian Duoduo nodded in agreement. "Support-type Soul Masters are all fragile; none of them are as capable as you look."

Xianlin'er didn't speak, but her heart was filled with doubt.

A book? A support class?

But the terrifying power Xue Yuheng unleashed just now, and the physical strength of his body that he crushed a soul skill with his bare hands, don't seem like what a support-type soul master should be like.

However, there are many different kinds of martial souls in Douluo Continent, and it is not unusual for a martial soul that has never been seen before to appear.

However, this boy has far too many secrets.

Xue Yuheng didn't explain much. He put the two soul cores into his storage ring, then took Xiao Xiao's hand and said, "Alright, it's getting late. Let's go to the Midnight Diner for something to eat. We can talk about it tomorrow."

After saying that, he led Xiao Xiao past the three still in a daze and walked towards the end of the corridor.

"Hey! Your Highness! You haven't said which department you want to go to yet!" Qian Duoduo hurriedly called out.

Xue Yuheng waved his hand without turning his head: "We'll talk about it later."

Yan Shaozhe watched Xue Yuheng's retreating figure and was about to chase after her when Qian Duoduo stopped him.

"Old Yan, there's plenty of time in the future." Qian Duoduo patted his shoulder and said earnestly, "You and I are both deans, why make things difficult for a little guy? Let him choose his own faction."

Yan Shaozhe shook off his hand and snorted coldly. Of course, he knew what Qian Duoduo was up to.

That fatso is definitely trying to sneak Xue Yuheng into the Soul Guidance Department when I'm not looking.

However, upon further reflection, he realized that Qian Duoduo's words made sense.

The current Martial Soul system boasts students with god-level and top-tier talents such as Xiao Xiao, Xue Qingwu, Huo Yuxi, Yu Wanwan, Yu Xinrui, Tang Ya, and Xu Jinrou, undoubtedly the strongest group in ten thousand years.

Giving up Xue Yuheng can prevent the Soul Guidance Department from focusing on students from other Martial Soul Departments, which can be considered sacrificing a pawn to save the king.

Moreover, even if Xue Yuheng went to the Soul Guidance Department, he would still be a Soul Master first and foremost, and would ultimately be under the jurisdiction of the Martial Soul Department.

Thinking of this, Yan Shaozhe's expression softened considerably.

He glanced at Qian Duoduo and Xian Lin'er, snorted coldly, and turned to leave.

Late at night, only a few students were eating in the Shrek Academy cafeteria.

Xue Yuheng and Xiao Xiao found a seat by the window and ordered two bowls of wontons and a few side dishes.

"Xiaoxue, are you really not going to tell them about the wordless book?" Xiao Xiao asked softly while eating wontons.

"There's no need," Xue Yuheng smiled. "The more people who know, the more trouble we'll cause. Anyway, they won't find anything out."

Xiao Xiao nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

After they finished their late-night snack, it was almost 11 p.m. They parted ways downstairs at the girls' dormitory, and Xue Yuheng walked alone towards the boys' dormitory.

The campus was exceptionally quiet at night, with only the streetlights casting a dim yellow glow that stretched his shadow long.

When Xue Yuheng returned to dormitory 201, she was surprised to find that Wang Dong was still awake.

Wang Dong lay in bed, but couldn't fall asleep. Hearing the door open, he immediately looked up, his pinkish-blue eyes filled with joy.

"Why did it take you so long to get back?" Wang Dong put down his book, his tone both complaining and somewhat dependent.

Xue Yuheng closed the door and smiled, "I went to forge a soul tool, which took a little time. What, were you waiting for me?"

Wang Dong's cheeks flushed slightly, and she turned her face away, saying, "Who, who was waiting for you! I just couldn't sleep!"

Xue Yuheng didn't expose him. He walked to Wang Dong's side, and with a light tap of his fingertip, a faint wisp of soul power overflowed from his fingertip and merged into Wang Dong's brow.

Wang Dong's body instantly relaxed, and a comfortable expression appeared on his face. For the past month, Xue Yuheng had been using her soul power to nourish his soul every night.

At first, he was very resistant, but later he found that as long as Xue Yuheng's soul power entered his body, he would feel extremely comfortable, and even his sleep became sweet.

Over time, he actually became somewhat addicted.

Every night, I would unconsciously wait for Xue Yuheng to come back.

In Xue Yuheng's spiritual sea, a woman wearing a long black dress floated in mid-air.

She looked in Wang Dong's direction, her brows furrowing slightly, and said with a puzzled tone, "Strange, this girl actually has a quasi-god-king level soul imprint deep within her soul? Moreover, the aura of this imprint is so familiar..."

Just now, when Xue Yuheng released her soul power, the Samsara Woman clearly sensed the special aura within Wang Dong's soul.

A soul imprint at the quasi-god-king level—that's not something just anyone can possess. Just who is this little girl named Wang Dong?

The woman of reincarnation's eyes deepened.

It seems that this Douluo Continent is even more interesting than she imagined.

In the dormitory, Xue Yuheng withdrew her finger.

Wang Dong yawned, rubbed his eyes, and said sleepily, "I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep."

After saying that, Wang Dong collapsed onto Xue Yuheng's bed.

Xue Yuheng smiled helplessly; it seemed she would have to change beds again tonight.

Wang Dong smelled wonderful, and his bed smelled even better.

However, Xue Yuheng currently has no good solution regarding his shattered soul.

"Kid..."

"Old Master Yi...you've woken up?"

"Indeed, the energy that this woman calls the power of creation in the book is quite good. My remnant soul has also been strengthened... Alright, let's get down to business."

If you want to repair that little girl's broken soul, I do have a way.

However, you should think carefully about the consequences if a fragmented soul becomes the dominant soul; no one can predict these consequences.

"Pah, old man, you're talking nonsense. I can cure her soul shattering disease, but she has the mark of a quasi-god king on her body."

You want to attract the attention of a quasi-god level being in this microcosm?!
