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

"Ah Ji, you have to believe me, I really didn't lie to you!" Fu Li hugged Ah Ji tightly and said earnestly, "Did you really hear that sound like being struck by lightning?"

"Huh..." Ah-Ji blinked and suddenly realized that what he had just heard didn't seem to be a lightning strike. Instead, it sounded a bit like the explosion of the bomb he had lit at home.

"You mean, someone brought a bomb onto the train?"

Fu Li nodded: "That's most likely the case."

"What should we do then?"

"What else can we do?" Fu Li rolled her eyes. "Whatever it is, the train conductor will handle it. We can just wait here."

"Okay, okay."

After hearing this, Ah Ji stopped making a fuss and sat quietly on the table.

Fu Li took a deep breath and took out a long sword from her storage bracelet.

This sword is made entirely of spirit-forged alloy; it is the weapon he chose for himself.

There was no other way. Although he had cultivated the essence of the Void Sword Qi, he didn't have a sword-type martial spirit, so he had to settle for second best and make a sword himself.

Just then, the soul-guided train suddenly jolted, and Fu Li felt the train running even faster.

He peeked out the window.

The Soul-Guided Train actually split into two sections. One section of the train rapidly decreased in speed and then gradually came to a stop.

Fu Li raised an eyebrow. In this situation, it was clear that the train conductor had chosen to separate the carriages so that more passengers could get off safely.

The bad news was that he was in the first carriage, so he couldn't move an inch and could only perish with the train.

And judging from the appearance, the explosion occurred in the fourth carriage behind him.

It doesn't look like things will be resolved so easily.

As Fu Li was pondering, an announcement came over the loudspeaker. It was a female voice: "Good morning, passengers. This is Mo Lan, the train conductor. I regret to inform you that a group of evil soul masters have infiltrated the train with soul-guided bombs. The crew is doing its best to handle the situation. Please do not panic or move around unnecessarily. Thank you."

"An evil spirit master?" Fu Li frowned and glanced at the driving map in front of him.

The route map will display the train's location in real time.

Time flies when he's cultivating. Two and a half days have passed since he boarded the train, and they've now arrived near a small city called Aolai City in the Tianhai Alliance.

"That's alright." Fu Li took a deep breath, took out his soul communication device, turned it on, and dialed a soul communication number.

He had turned off his soul communication device since he ran away from home, but now the situation was urgent and he had no choice but to use it.

The soul-guided communication was quickly connected, and a hearty and gruff voice came through: "Hey, is this Xiao Li? Why did you suddenly decide to call your uncle?"

Fu Li breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed he was still unaware that he had run away from home.

"Uncle, I'm on the Soul Guidance Train to Donghai City right now. We just got near Aolai City when a group of evil Soul Masters attacked us. Could you please send someone over quickly?"

"What?" Zhu Ming's tone immediately turned serious. He didn't bother to ask why he was on the soul-guided train to Donghai City, but immediately replied, "Okay, I'm coming. You need to protect yourself and don't act rashly."

"Okay, sure."

Fu Li put down the soul communication device in his hand, feeling a little relieved. His uncle was a Federation general and the commander of the East Sea Legion. The East Sea Legion's base was not far away, and he was a super Douluo-level powerhouse, so it wouldn't take him long to get here.

Now all we have to do is wait...

But that's how the world always is; what you fear most is what you're bound to get.

Less than ten minutes after Fu Li finished making the soul communication, a knock on the door immediately followed by a deep, cold voice: "Come out here obediently, or I'll force you."

Fu Li: "..."

Wow, is this Mo Lan really that weak? How come she only lasted a short while before giving up?

Fu Li frowned. He had originally planned to wait for his uncle to arrive before making any plans, but who knew that the unexpected would happen so quickly.

Having no other choice, Fu Li had to do as instructed.

As the saying goes, when you don't know the exact strength of a criminal, the best thing to do is not to resist, but to go along with their demands and then gradually take action.

After retracting Ah Ji into his body and slinging the sword behind his back, Fu Li cautiously opened the door a crack.

Through the crack, Fu Li saw a man in black robes, his entire body shrouded in black, and wearing a mask on his face.

However, he also saw clearly that the person only had two yellow spirit rings behind him.

Hmm... I can give it a try.

Feeling a little relieved, Fu Li put the longsword on her back into her storage bracelet.

Upon seeing that the person in the black robe was a child of about eight or nine years old, the man immediately relaxed his guard.

"Hmph, kid, you're smart to know what's good for you."

After saying that, the man in black grabbed Fu Li's hand and roughly dragged him into the back carriage.

Fu Li frowned but did not resist.

He was just a second-ring evil spirit master; he didn't have the guts to attack the soul-guided train. There might be others behind him, so he decided to test the waters again.

As Fu Li stepped into the fourth carriage, his steps suddenly became heavy. He suddenly felt as if his soul power was being suppressed, and his circulation felt sluggish.

This is... a soul tool that can suppress the flow of soul power?

Now we finally know why the train conductor and all the train guards were wiped out.

At this point, the fourth carriage was already filled with quite a few people, who all appeared to be passengers.

There were also some people lying on the ground; judging from their uniforms, they were probably train guards.

There were five men in black robes in total, with a woman sandwiched between two of them, and two soul-guided ray guns pointed at her head.

The woman looked to be in her early twenties. She wasn't particularly beautiful, but she had a certain air of authority.

Fu Li glanced at the clothes she was wearing.

This must be the train conductor, right?

When the train conductor saw that the evil spirit master had brought Fu Li in, she panicked. She took a deep breath and said, "Isn't it unnecessary to involve such a young child? I've already said that whatever you want, I can give you."

"Hmph! Why should we believe you? Just because you spout nonsense about your father being a federal congressman?"

The leader of the group of evil soul masters grinned sinisterly, toying with a spherical soul tool in his hand: "I told you, make Shrek release those people we captured earlier, otherwise, in thirty minutes, I'll blow these soul-guided trains to smithereens! That's over a hundred lives!"

Fu Li: "..."

Why would Shrek Academy release the person and then contact the Federation? What kind of logic is that?

Even Fu Li, who dislikes politics, knows that the Federation and Shrek Academy have always been at odds. There's no reason why these evil spirit masters who want to save people wouldn't know.

The train conductor gritted his teeth: "What you're talking about is something I can't do for now. The Federation and Shrek Academy still need to communicate, and thirty minutes isn't enough."

"Hmph! I don't care what reasons you give. I'm telling you, I'll show you what happens when you dare to resist!"

The leading evil spirit master looked around, finally settling on Fu Li: "That's it, you're the one!"

He slowly raised the soul-guided ray gun in his hand, aimed the muzzle at Fu Li, and then pulled the trigger sharply.

"Zheng—"
