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

Although he was very confident in his own strength, after all, he was aware of the potential of the Taixu Sword Qi, it was only after he acquired the Soul Skill that he truly felt the power of a Soul Master for the first time.

Such a large-scale attack can instantly affect the surrounding environment.

"Tsk tsk—"

"That's terrifying, Fu Li."

Ah Ji had somehow slipped out from behind him and was standing beside him, pointing and gesturing at the scene before him.

"Haha, we have to thank our great Black Kite Immortal for that." Fu Li picked up Aji and rubbed him in her arms.

"Hehe, it's good that you know. You'd better remember this immortal's kindness in the future."

"That's right, the immortal's kindness can never be repaid!"

Ah Ji's eyes widened at Fu Li's praise, and she tilted her head back, looking quite pleased with herself.

Fu Li chuckled softly and grabbed a feather from Aji's head: "Then, Aji, shouldn't you explain to me what the Herald of Knowledge is?"

"Ah, ah—" Ah Ji shuddered suddenly, his whole body stiffening. "Um, would you believe me if I said I didn't know either?"

"Hehe, don't be so nervous." Fu Li released her hand and gently stroked Aji's feathers. "I believe in you."

"If you have any unspeakable difficulties, I won't force you. You can tell me when you're ready."

"Waaah... Fu Li..." Ah Ji wiped away her tears with emotion, flapped her wings and hugged Fu Li.

"Hey, hey, don't move! I can't see you!"

After some playful banter, Fu Li pulled the chicken off her face.

The two lay on the ground like that. After the intense battle, he was a little tired. Fortunately, there was no danger anymore, so he needed to rest.

"Ah-Chi, why did I have that kind of emotional outburst back then?"

Fu Li recalled the scene when he first drew the sword, "Too much talk leads to death." At that time, he was flamboyant and unrestrained, completely different from his usual self.

"That is my power."

"Your power?"

"Yes." Ah Ji nodded. "The Herrscher of Knowledge. Although I myself can't quite explain what a Herrscher is, perhaps it's just the name of some special being. But it also happens to explain what my power is."

"The Law of Consciousness... Is Consciousness...?" Fu Li wondered.

"Yes, the power of consciousness." Aji acknowledged Fu Li's guess, adding, "Using this power will activate and liberate your true nature. Just like how you usually appear to others isn't necessarily your true self."

"The real me..."

"Yes, you know your family background well. Everyone is watching you, but as the youngest child in your family, you don't really need to be so perfect."

"Do you want to take over your father's job?"

"I have an older brother and sister, aren't they both adults?" Fu Li sighed. "Besides, I don't want to do this job, it's too tiring."

"That settles it!" Ah Ji suddenly exclaimed excitedly. "If I were you, I would have become a super playboy long ago. Why would I need to act so proper to everyone like you do?"

"I just don't want to cause them any trouble..." Fu Li sighed, but after a moment he suddenly stared at Aji strangely, "Wait a minute, the way you're saying it, it seems like you're the one who wants to be the spoiled brat, aren't you?"

"Hehe, I won't deny it." Ah Ji scratched his head. "Anyway, if I were you, I'd go out and dine and dash every day without paying a single penny."

"Look at you, so pathetic!" Fu Li said with a laugh, but didn't say anything more.

He shielded his eyes with his hand, squinting as he looked at the radiant sun.

Maybe... I should try to change things?

Thinking this, Fu Li's breathing gradually calmed down, and she slowly drifted off to sleep.

……

"Sir, how are you...?"

"Shh!"

Seeing that there had been no movement outside for a long time, Mo Lan carefully got out of the driver's seat and observed the situation outside.

Unexpectedly, when she looked up, she saw Fu Li lying on the ground, and not far away, the evil spirit master who was impaled on the ground by a spear and whose life or death was unknown.

She was shocked and quickly ran downstairs to see how the boy who had saved her and everyone else on the bus was doing.

But she was stopped by Ah Ji as soon as she opened her mouth.

Ah Ji stretched out his wings to block Mo Lan's view and said seriously, "Don't wake him up, he's very tired right now."

"Ah, a talking chicken, who are you?"

"Damn it, you have to call me Black Kite Immortal!" Ah Ji flapped his wings. "Also, I am his martial spirit, so just listen to me."

"Martial... Martial Soul?"

"What? Haven't you heard of a martial soul that possesses intelligence and can leave the body?"

As a top student, Mo Lan is also quite knowledgeable about history, so she naturally knows about the Sea God's teacher from 20,000 years ago, whose martial soul was also of this type.

"Is he alright?" Mo Lan asked, craning her neck and looking worriedly at Fu Li, who was not moving.

"Don't worry, instead of wasting your time, you should go and check on the passengers first."

Mo Lan nodded: "Okay, I understand..."

Just then, dozens of mechs suddenly flew over their heads and landed on the ground.

Mo Lan stared at the red-painted mecha at the head of the group and exclaimed, "A god-level mecha?!"

-----------------

"Well……"

Fu Li suddenly sprang to her feet and sat up straight in bed.

He looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings, somewhat bewildered.

"Where...where am I?"

"You're awake?"

The woman lying by the bed was also awakened by Fu Li's movements. She looked up and said in surprise.

Fu Li also recognized who this person was.

"Yes, I'm awake, but..."

"Don't worry, I'll call someone over right away." With that, Mo Lan hurriedly ran out.

"What's going on?" Fu Li scratched his head, calling out to Ah Ji in his mind, "Ah Ji, Ah Ji, are you there?"

Ah Ji: ...

There was no response. Was Ah Ji asleep too?

At that moment, a series of rapid footsteps sounded from outside the room. Then, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a tall figure strode to the bedside, pulled Fu Li up, and began to look her over from left to right, muttering to himself, with a soldier's unique toughness.

"Oh dear, Xiao Li, let me take a look quickly, make sure there aren't any problems left behind..."

"Cough, cough, Uncle, let go of me! I can't breathe..."

Having finally escaped from her uncle's clutches, Fu Li gasped for breath.

Thank goodness, I didn't die at the hands of the evil spirit master, but I almost died at the hands of my own uncle.

"Well, it's because Uncle was too anxious..." Zhu Ming said with an embarrassed smile.

"It's nothing..." Fu Li shook her head and asked, "Where are we now?"

"This is Aolai City. I was worried that something might happen to you, so I took you to the nearest city to rest first."

Fu Li nodded: "What about those evil soul masters? I remember their leader is still alive, and there are two others who should also be alive."

"Don't worry, Xiao Li, those three are still alive. I've already sent the army doctor to try and save them, see if we can get any information out of them..."

"That's good……"

"Is there anything else you'd like to ask?"

"That's all." Fu Li shook her head.

"Alright, since you have no more questions," Zhu Ming revealed a dangerous smile, "then it's my turn to ask you. Why did you sneak out without telling us, hmm?"
