Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Mysterious Heavy Ruler

Chapter 10 Trials and Tribulations (Part Two)

……

Time flies, and a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Yi is now twelve years old and has been training in this Soul Hunting Group for a year.

Throughout the year, Mu Yun and the others took good care of him. In the beginning, Mu Yun taught Xiao Yi everything he didn't understand, and there were a few crises along the way, but thanks to their teamwork, nothing serious happened.

As it turns out, experience is indeed useful; it can truly help one develop their talents.

Later, thanks to these crises, Xiao Yi's soul power reached level 36, and he developed his own fighting style, officially reaching the Soul King level.

Xiao Yi's fighting style is characterized by its wide-ranging and powerful attacks. He combined his own soul skills with the explosive step he developed to create moves that are both offensive and defensive.

His external soul bone was also exposed, which was the life-or-death crisis that caused the Golden Feather Sword Wings to completely fuse.

It was during a Soul Hunt that a Soul Bone was dropped. When the boss was absorbing the Soul Ring, they sensed a strange fluctuation. They searched through the corpses of the Soul Beasts and found a ten-thousand-year-old left arm bone. It just so happened that another Soul Hunting Group encountered it. Seeing that they were stronger than Xiao Yi, the opposing Soul Hunting Group had the idea of ​​killing them and stealing their treasure.

However, they did not expect that Xiao Yi was hiding his true strength. He fought back and forth with one of the Soul Kings. When the Soul King realized that he could not defeat him for a while, he became more and more anxious. In the end, Xiao Yi seized the opportunity to kill him.

The result after that was looting the corpse.

It must be said that murder and arson bring wealth and honor; the ancients were right.

Afterwards, he shared his feelings with them. After dividing the spoils equally, the employer had finished absorbing the soul ring. Xiao Yi and the others did not give the soul bone to the employer, but kept it for themselves to sell. After absorbing the soul ring, the employer looked around and found corpses all over the ground. He knew that he had safely absorbed the soul ring thanks to Xiao Yi and the others. He then took out 600,000 gold soul coins as a reward.

As for the soul bone, it was taken to an auction house and eventually sold for eight million, which was then split equally among the six people.

And it was on that occasion that his external soul bone completely fused, so he no longer had to worry about it being taken away.

In short, Xiao Yi gained a lot this year, and he also came to accept the members of the Soul Hunting Group, and no longer had any suspicion of them.

"Xiao Xiao, what are you thinking about?"

A voice came as Xiao Yi was sorting out his year's gains.

It turned out to be Mu Yun. Seeing Xiao Yi standing there in a daze, seemingly lost in thought, she asked him.

"Ah, Brother Muyun, I'm sorting out this year's results," Xiao Yi replied.

As time went by, Xiao Yi also learned about their situation.

They are all pitiful people.

Captain Mu Yun was originally a genius from an orphanage in Soto City. When he awakened his martial soul, he had an innate soul power of level eight. At that time, Qian Xunji was in power and probably thought that an innate level eight was not good enough for him, so he didn't care about him. Later, he entered the school and was noticed by a nobleman's son who wanted to take him as his subordinate. But Mu Yun was a genius after all, so he was naturally unwilling. Later, it seems that the noble family was attacked and destroyed.

Mu Yun's lover is an orphan, but she has a strong character since childhood. The reason they fell in love was when they were hunting for a spirit ring. The spirit master who accompanied her was lustful and tried to force himself on her. Mu Yun happened to witness this, and then he intervened. Gradually, they fell in love.

Li Kai's family was wiped out because they offended Lan Dian back then, leaving only a handful of survivors. Since the opposing family was very powerful, he knew he didn't have the strength to take revenge. Because of this incident, he didn't talk much and could only keep his hatred to himself.

As for Wang Liang, he was a commoner in his early years. Because his martial soul was a bear, he had a carefree personality. He was friends with Zhao Wuji in his early years and had told Zhao Wuji several times not to cause trouble, but Zhao Wuji did not take it seriously. However, later Zhao Wuji offended the Spirit Hall and was hunted down. After that, Zhao Wuji never looked for him again until a few years ago when he met Zhao Wuji in the Star Dou Great Forest. After learning that Zhao Wuji was teaching at Shrek Academy, the two talked for a while. It is unknown what they talked about, but they parted on bad terms.

Wu Xuan's situation wasn't anything special. It's just that back then, his family's support effect slightly surpassed that of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and there were no restrictions. They were wiped out by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda because everyone knew about the Smiling Tiger Ning Fengzhi.

"By the way, Xiao Xiao, didn't we find a cave last time? We've got nothing much going on lately, why don't we go check it out?"

When Xiao Yi heard Mu Yun mention the cave, he remembered that he had forgotten something earlier.

A month ago, after Xiao Yi and his group finished hunting for a spirit ring for their employer, they discovered a cave that looked like it had been inhabited before. It seemed like no one had lived there for a long time. At the time, because it was a spirit beast that was 25,000 years old, the group was exhausted. They thought they would come back to see it later, so they decided to remember the location of the cave and come back after a while. Since there was no business at the moment, they might as well go and take a look.

"Okay, let's go then. It won't take much effort anyway."

Then Mu Yun called his teammates and headed towards the cave they had visited earlier.

An hour later, Xiao Yi arrived at the entrance of the cave.

"Don't go in yet, everyone. There might be some danger."

It must be said that Mu Yun is quite responsible as the team leader. He is never stingy when there are benefits, and he is always the first to step up when there is danger.

After Mu Yun finished speaking, he walked into the cave.

After a while, Mu Yun's voice came from inside the cave.

"Alright, come in, there's no danger inside."

After listening, everyone entered the cave one by one.

The cave is very spacious, with stone beds and other living items visible inside. Perhaps because no one has lived there for a long time, it has lost its human touch. In a corner of the cave, there are two skeletons.

When the group saw the skeletons, they found one was lying down and the other was sitting up.

"It seems that the owner of this cave was being chased by his enemies and managed to turn the tables at the last moment. However, after the counterattack, he was powerless to save himself and died here."

Mu Yun analyzed as he looked at the corpse.

"Captain, look, there's a soul tool on this skeleton. Could there be something inside?"

The speaker was Wang Liang. He picked up the ring from the white bone's hand and handed it to Mu Yun.

Mu Yun picked up the soul tool and used his soul power to probe its interior.

The soul tool has a large internal space, about two hundred cubic meters, containing five soul bones, several medicinal herbs, a mask, a letter, and countless gold soul coins, roughly estimated to be worth several million.

After Mu Yun finished reading the soul tool, he explained its contents to the group and told them not to rush, but to wait until they had read the contents of the letter before deciding how to divide it.

Then Mu Yun took out the envelope, opened it, and saw the letter inside.
