Douluo Continent: The Martial Soul is Black Kite, the Herrscher of Knowledge

"Fu Li, didn't you feel like something was off about that girl just now?"

"Something's not right?" Upon hearing this, Fu Li thought back carefully. "I don't think there's anything wrong. Ah Ji, have you discovered something?"

Ah Ji shook his head: "I don't know either, it's just a feeling. That girl gave me a weird feeling, like... well, she didn't seem like a human being."

"Doesn't look like a human being?"

Fu Li subconsciously thought that Ah Ji was playing a trick on him again, but looking at its serious expression, it seemed that it really wasn't lying.

Fu Li frowned immediately. Ah Ji's power was consciousness, which was quite authoritative for such an ethereal level as the spirit.

"Could it be a soul beast in human form?" Fu Li murmured.

"But that doesn't make sense either. Weren't all the soul beasts driven back to their huts by the Federation? They're still being kept in captivity by the Spirit Pagoda."

Fu Li scratched his head: "Ah Ji, besides these, did you find anything else?"

"That's all. Actually, I'm not entirely sure either. My power is linked to your cultivation level. Maybe I'll be able to sense it more clearly when you reach a higher level."

"Is that so?" Fu Li stopped worrying about it.

Since I can't figure out the truth anyway, I might as well stop thinking about it.

So what if that child is a spirit beast in human form?

He knew perfectly well that soul beasts could transform into human form. It was called transformation, but in reality, it was just starting over and having to rebuild one's cultivation from scratch.

I couldn't sense any soul power fluctuations from her, so she probably doesn't even have a soul ring. What's there to worry about?

Whether they can defeat the security personnel is unknown.

Besides, he's a "commoner" Soul Master now; those things aren't for him to think about.

"Beep beep—beep beep—"

Fu Li's soul-guided communicator on his wrist suddenly rang, and he raised his hand to look at it.

"Zhu Ming"

Fu Li answered immediately: "Hello, Uncle, why are you calling so late? Aren't you resting?"

"Haha, what's the big deal? With my cultivation level, I can go three days without rest without any problem."

"But I still need to rest..." Fu Li said softly.

"Heh." Zhu Ming sneered, "Don't pretend with me, kid. I can hear it clearly. I can still hear the sound of waves over there. Are you still playing on the beach?"

I wipe?

Fu Li and A Ji exchanged a shocked glance.

Is the reception of this soul-guided communicator really that strong?

No wonder it's a special supply for the military.

"Ahem, alright, I won't banter with you anymore. I've already taken care of things at Donghai Academy. You can just go there when school starts. As for the relevant materials, I'll have someone bring them to you. Just wait in Aolai City for now. Also, I used to own a property here that you can stay at. It's cleaned regularly, and the materials will be delivered there later."

"Okay, I understand."

"Yes, the address is xxxxx."

After hanging up the call, Fu Li patted Aji on the shoulder: "School still has a while to go. Should we stay in Aolai City for now, or go straight to Donghai City after we get the materials?"

"Hmm... let's stay here a little longer."

"Hmm? This isn't like you, Ah Ji. With your personality, shouldn't you be thinking about going to Donghai City to eat delicious food? Why are you thinking of staying in such a small place?"

Based on his understanding of chickens, they should prioritize eating.

"Hey, it doesn't matter where we eat, there's no harm in staying a little longer, and I can also try something different. Besides..."

Ah Ji's big eyes darted around a few times, looking at Fu Li's wrist with ill intent, or more precisely, at the storage soul tool there.

"Besides, don't you still have some stock?"

"Ugh, I'm really fed up with you. This is all the resources I have left. Are you really going to let me suffer through my cultivation all by myself from now on?"

Fu Li held Aji in her arms, looking at Aji with pitiful eyes, as if she were living a miserable life.

Ah Ji felt like her conscience had been stabbed several times by being stared at like that, and she felt extremely guilty.

Did I really eat too much?

After a moment of internal struggle, Ah Ji finally mustered the courage to say, "Fine, I'll eat half, and you can use the rest for your cultivation..."

"Good! Ah Ji, you're so kind." Fu Li hugged it tightly and kissed it several times, moved by its kindness.

"Hehe, that's right, we're family." Ah Ji gently flapped his wings.

Where Ah Ji couldn't see, Fu Li sighed softly: Phew, at least I managed to save my spirit herb. Hopefully, Ah Ji will eat less from now on; the landlord's family really has no surplus food...

I should have hoarded more spiritual herbs at home; otherwise, I wouldn't have been so stingy about Ah Ji's food.

……

The next day, Fu Li got up very early. He would get up early every day to practice the Taixu Sword Form, and he would not miss it even if it was windy or rainy.

That is, he fell into a coma yesterday and failed to maintain his perfect attendance record.

Prominent families typically own some property in most places. This is called diversification of investments, which enhances their ability to withstand risks and prevents them from being crippled by unexpected events.

Although my uncle's family is not a prominent family, they have made investments, and the house in Aolai City is no exception. Although the location is a bit remote, it is very large and has a courtyard.

That's the advantage of living in a small city. In big cities, land is incredibly expensive, and most people can't afford to live in a large house, but in a small city, that's not a concern.

Ordinary people can afford to live in a house with a yard.

Fu Li quickly washed up, picked up her old sword, and went to the courtyard.

After he learned the "Too Much Talk Leads to Murder" technique, he no longer needed it, but he could still use it to practice his swordsmanship.

Of course, it's just that he doesn't like it. If he wanted to sell it, this longsword made of spirit-forged alloy could easily fetch hundreds of thousands.

Fu Li stood in the well-landscaped courtyard, with endless blue silver grass beneath her feet. She took a deep breath, and the breath of life rushed towards her.

Then, he held the sword in his left hand, gripped it tightly with his right, and carried it behind his back; it was Qi Jian·Can Yue.

Then came Qi Jian·Splittering the Sky.

Then, the longsword was wielded, and invisible sword energy spread out in all directions, like waves crashing on the shore, endlessly.

It is Qi Jian · Duan Hai.

Next is the sword transformation.

Falcons, black falcons, swifts, vine sparrows, cloud eagles, and moon herons manifested with sword energy, resembling vivid and lifelike birds, causing the surrounding blue silver grass to rustle.

……

"Dad, what kind of spirit do you think I'll be able to buy this time?" Tang Wulin asked his father excitedly as they walked.

Tang Ziran shook her head and said earnestly, "Dad doesn't know, but no matter what kind of soul spirit it is, it represents your progress from a Soul Warrior to a Soul Master, which can create a real gap between you and ordinary people."

Tang Wulin nodded, but just then, his gaze was suddenly drawn to something on the roadside.

"Linlin? What are you looking at?" Tang Ziran asked as he looked over, but he was immediately stunned.

It was in a courtyard, and a young boy was practicing with a sword.

Although he couldn't understand swords, he could see their beauty.

Is this the person from last night?

Was her name Fu Li?
