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

"Still laughing? You little brat, still laughing? Do you know you've been kicked out of the house by your father?" Zhu Ming was already a bit anxious. Looking around, he saw that Fu Li was actually smiling like a madman. He was immediately at his wit's end. "Sigh, your father is probably just acting on impulse. I'll talk to my sister later and have her comfort Mo Xin."

"No need, Uncle." Fu Li shook his head and pressed Zhu Ming's hand.

His strength was not great, but his determination was exceptional.

Zhu Ming looked into his eyes, sighed, tossed the soul-guided communicator onto the bed, and simply sat down as well.

"Xiao Li, tell your uncle the truth, what are you really thinking?"

"What were you thinking?" Fu Li tilted her head and said matter-of-factly, "Didn't Dad make it very clear?"

"That was just something he said in anger."

Fu Li laughed: "Uncle, do you really think someone like my father would say something in the heat of the moment?"

Zhu Ming was stunned for a moment, never expecting that he would be taught a lesson by a junior one day.

However, he then realized that Fu Moxin, as the Speaker of the Federal Parliament, was a natural-born political being. How could she be so easily swayed by her emotions?

Every word he says is the result of careful consideration.

Therefore, Zhu Ming fell silent, but he couldn't understand what his brother-in-law was thinking, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

He looked at Fu Li and said irritably, "Since you're so capable, why don't you tell your uncle what your father is really thinking?"

"I don't know either." Fu Li shook his head. "If I could figure all of this out, I wouldn't have thought about staying away from politics. I've known for a long time that I'm not suited to take over my father's job."

"But this is for the best. Having left the Fu family and the vortex of Mingdu, there aren't as many things that can affect me anymore. I can focus on cultivation, or do other things. More importantly..."

Fu Li looked at Zhu Ming and said, word by word, "I don't need to worry about things getting out of hand with my older brother and sister. Uncle, tell me, throughout history, how many brothers have turned against each other over such a small matter of status?"

"Sigh, you..." Zhu Ming sighed, "Why are you doing this to yourself?"

However, he also knew that this was already a pretty good arrangement.

Although Fu Moxin's words seem to distance her from her youngest son and even declare Fu Li's "out of the game," isn't this also a form of protection?

Both the palm and the back of the hand are flesh and blood. Fu Li is his own flesh and blood, but aren't his older brothers and sisters the same?

"Alright, Uncle, my mind is made up. You don't need to try to persuade me anymore. Besides, even if my father disowns me, can you really disown me?"

Fu Li smiled slightly and said casually, "Do you think I'd be bullied by someone stronger in the Tianhai Alliance territory?"

"How could that be?" Zhu Ming's temper flared immediately upon hearing this. He patted his chest and shouted, "I, Zhu Ming, am telling you this now, Xiao Li, if anyone dares to mess with you in the future, I'll be the first to object. Fu Moxin may not care about you, but I, your uncle, will stand up for you. You can do whatever you want!"

As the commander of the East Sea Army Corps, Zhu Ming was someone no one in the Tianhai Alliance could afford to offend. Even the governor of Tianhai City had to greet him respectfully.

"That's good. In that case, I'll trouble you, Uncle, to get me an admission notice for Donghai Academy."

"If you're going to school, wouldn't it be better to go to Tianhai Academy or something? I remember Donghai Academy's academic level has declined quite a bit recently."

"I also want to go back to my hometown to take a look. Although no one has lived there for a long time, it is still the place where my mother once lived. Besides, with my talents, it's the same wherever I go."

Fu Li's words revealed a great deal of confidence.

Zhu Ming nodded, reluctantly accepting the suggestion.

"Alright, then you can rest here for a while. The legion is busy, and I can't stay outside forever, so I'll be leaving now." Zhu Ming stood up, took out a specially made soul-guided communicator from his pocket, and handed it to Fu Li. "Take this. It's specially made by the Federal Academy of Sciences. It can connect to the military's internal channel. Besides my number, there's a number inside called 'Huang Jian,' who is my subordinate. He's currently in charge of the East Sea Legion's external affairs. You can contact him for help if you need anything in the future."

After giving a few more instructions, Zhu Ming left in a hurry.

It's clear he's in a hurry to get back.

After watching her uncle leave, Fu Li lifted the unusually quiet Aji from her arms: "Aji, for a long time to come, you'll be all I have."

Ah Ji was also somewhat disappointed. Her usually bright and mischievous red eyes dimmed slightly: "Fu Li, it's all my fault..."

"Why should I blame you? I should thank you." Fu Li hugged Aji tightly and rubbed her a few times.

"Thank me?"

Normally, if Ah Ji were to be ruffled like this, he would jump up and peck at Fu Li's knees no matter what, but now he just stared at him blankly.

"That's right. If it weren't for our great Herrscher of Knowledge, I'd still be struggling in Mingdu, a place teeming with spies. Not to mention, if it weren't for you giving me power, I don't know if I could have survived the clutches of the evil spirit masters."

"But if it weren't for me, you should have awakened your family's martial spirit. With your talent, you could have easily become stronger. Why did you have to waste so much time?"

The Fu family's ancestral martial soul is called Crimson Kite. Although it cannot compare to martial souls like the Phoenix, it can still be considered a super martial soul, not to mention that Fu Li is a person with innate full soul power.

If he had cultivated normally, he would probably have already broken through level 30 by now. Not to mention becoming a Title Douluo, it wouldn't be impossible for him to even become a Limit Douluo.

How could it be that everyone is only level 26 now?

The truth is that back then, because of Aji, Fu Li was depressed for a long time and had no motivation to cultivate.

"Then let me ask you, Ah Ji, do you really think your martial spirit is inferior to Chi Yuan's?"

"How could that be? I am the great Herald of Consciousness, the Black Kite Sage. How could I be compared to a scruffy bird like the Red Kite?"

Fu Li couldn't help but laugh; it was Ah Ji at times like this that made him feel familiar.

"That settles it! I've heard of the legend of the Spirit Ice Douluo becoming a god ten thousand years ago. What if we also have a chance to become gods? In my opinion, Ah Ji, you are much more powerful than the Spirit Ice Douluo's Spirit Eye and Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Martial Soul."

"That's right, I'm not bragging, but this mere Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion is just a snack to me."

When Ah Ji heard Fu Li's praise, he immediately puffed out his chest and his mouth almost reached the sky.

"Yeah, Ah Ji, you're the best."
