Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Mysterious Heavy Ruler

Chapter 41 Return to Heaven

Back to Xiao Yi, a day and a night had passed since he absorbed the soul ring and he was still not awake. However, Dugu Bo and Mu Yun saw that Xiao Yi did not seem to be in any danger, so they were not worried about him and simply stayed by his side.

On the morning of the third day, Xiao Yi woke up from the state of absorbing the soul ring and was stunned when he felt his own soul skills.

Dugu Bo was puzzled when he saw Xiao Yi standing there in a daze, wondering if the kid had gone mad.

Then Dugu Bo asked, "Xiao boy, what's wrong with you? Why are you standing there like that?"

Xiao Yi snapped out of his reverie upon hearing Dugu Bo's words and then said, "Grandpa, I'm fine. I was just thinking about soul skills."

"What kind of soul skill is making you stunned? Tell me about it."

"My fifth soul skill is to unleash a powerful crescent-shaped flame slash after charging up. The flames are extremely fast and the temperature is very high. The effect of the soul skill is adjusted by my soul power. If I were a Title Douluo, I could even evaporate a lake with this slash. I named this soul skill Flame Dividing Wave Ruler."

Dugu Bo was also stunned after hearing this. What? This kind of soul skill can be obtained with the fifth soul ring? But considering that it is a 40,000-year soul ring and it is from a dragon-type soul beast, he didn't think much of it.

Now that Xiao Yi has absorbed all the spirit rings, his spirit power has reached level 53. Moreover, the weight of the Xuan Heavy Ruler seems to have doubled compared to before. After absorbing the fourth spirit ring, it increased to 8,000 jin, and when he first came, it was 10,000 jin. After absorbing the fifth spirit ring, it reached 13,600 jin. Because Xiao Yi is the master of the spirit, he can make it as light or heavy as he wants. Moreover, according to the feedback from the spirit, the weight will increase by 200 jin for each level up. After absorbing a spirit ring, the weight increase depends on one-tenth of the spirit ring's age.

"Alright, we've absorbed all the spirit rings. Let's go out and rest for a couple of days before heading back to Tian Dou. It's been almost a month since we left, and I miss Yan Yan so much."

Dugu Bo spoke up.

This soul hunt took quite a long time; it took almost a month to complete.

The three spent two days leaving the Star Dou Great Forest and then three days returning to Soto City. Upon arriving in Soto City, Xiao Yi lay down and fell asleep. Although Dugu Bo had been with him in the Star Dou Great Forest, the intense mental strain of the past twenty days had made him feel uncomfortable. Now, all he wanted to do was lie in bed and rest.

After resting in Soto City for three days, Xiao Yi and Dugu Bo went to Mu Yun's tavern to prepare to return to Tian Dou.

Since it took two people to come and four to go, they simply rented two horse-drawn carriages.

half a month later.

After a bumpy two-week journey, the four returned to Tiandou City.

After Xiao Yi paid the fare, the four of them got off the carriage. As soon as they stepped off, Dugu Bo asked, "Young man Xiao, I'm going back to see Yan Yan. Are you coming?"

"Grandpa, you go ahead. I'll take Brother Yun and the other two back to my house first, and then I'll go to the Crown Prince's residence," Xiao Yi replied.

It's kind of funny, really. Ever since he bought the house in Tiandou, he's barely lived there. First, Dugu Bo took it away to cure his poison, and then he studied at Tiandou Academy and didn't come back often. Even when he did come back, he just cleaned the room. So it just sat there unused. Now that Mu Yun's here, he figured they could live in the house. Anyway, he's already with Dugu Yan, so the house doesn't really matter anymore. He'd rather have his family live there than leave it vacant or sell it.

Soon, Xiao Yi brought Mu Yun and the other two to his house in Tiandou City.

"Brother Yun, this is the house I bought in Tiandou before, but I don't come back often, so you and your wife can live here."

Xiao Yi said to Mu Yun.

"Isn't this a bit inappropriate?" Mu Yun said, somewhat embarrassed.

"It's okay, I have other places to stay, and besides, we're family, so there's no need to worry about it."

After hearing this, Mu Yun no longer refused and had no choice but to accept Xiao Yi's house.

"Brother Yun, you and your wife pack your things. I'm going out for a bit."

"OK."

After the two finished talking, Xiao Yi headed towards the Crown Prince's residence.

Because flying is prohibited in Tiandou City, it took Xiao Yi half an hour to arrive at the Crown Prince's residence.

"Stop right there! What are you doing!"

As soon as he reached the entrance of the Crown Prince's residence, the palace guards stopped Xiao Yi.

"I am a friend of the Crown Prince, and I have come to see him about something," Xiao Yi said, taking out the Crown Prince's token from his soul tool and handing it to the palace guard.

The guard took the token and examined it carefully before saying to Xiao Yi, "Wait outside for a moment, I'll go and inform His Highness the Crown Prince."

The guards then entered the Crown Prince's residence.

Inside the Crown Prince's residence, Master Xue was busy with official duties when the sound of guards could be heard outside.

"Your Highness, there's a young man with white hair outside the door holding your crown prince token, claiming to be your friend. Should we let him in?"

Upon hearing the voice outside the door, Qian Renxue replied, "He's my friend. He has important business with me. Let him in."

It has been more than a week since Qian Daoliu last came to Tiandou City. Qian Renxue remembered what Qian Daoliu said to her. However, she was unwilling to admit that she was interested in Xiao Yi. Is she really such a proud little angel?

After hearing Qian Renxue's reply, the guards outside returned the token to Xiao Yi and let him in.

Xiao Yi retrieved the token and entered the Crown Prince's residence.

After entering the Crown Prince's residence, he quickly found Qian Renxue, who put down her official duties upon seeing him.

Upon seeing Xiao Yi, Qian Renxue dismissed the palace maids and said, "You're back? It seems the Soul Hunt went quite well this time?"

"Now that I've seen your true form, could you please stop talking to me like this? You're clearly a beautiful woman, but you insist on using a man's appearance. It's really awkward," Xiao Yi complained.

"What's wrong with looking like this?" Qian Renxue rolled her eyes.

"I think talking to beautiful women makes me feel good." Xiao Yi shuddered at Qian Renxue's eye roll.

After experiencing the atmosphere at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Xiao Yi was no longer so aloof and would occasionally crack a joke.

"You do have some knowledge," Qian Renxue said before reverting to her true form.

"Did you bring the person back?" Qian Renxue asked.

"We brought him back. He's a Soul Saint. He'll be in charge of leading the Royal Fighting Team from now on."

"So what are you planning to do next?"

"I'll be training them with my fourth soul skill for six months, then I'll go to the City of Slaughter. After all, the school is basically useless to me now. Your Spirit Hall should have a specific location, right?" Xiao Yi replied.

"Yes, I do. I'll give you the map before you set off," Qian Renxue said.

"By the way, could you take a look at this letter for me and tell me what to do next?" Qian Renxue took out Bibi Dong's letter and handed it to Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi took the letter, read it once, and casually said, "Write her a letter every now and then. The more you write, the more she will accept you, and your relationship will improve. After all, you are mother and daughter, there's nothing you can't talk about."

"Is there anything else? If not, I'll be leaving now," Xiao Yi asked.

"That's all, you can leave now." Qian Renxue rolled her eyes in exasperation. Honestly, they only come to her when they need something, and then leave her hanging.

Xiao Yi left without turning his head after hearing Qian Renxue's words.

After leaving the Crown Prince's residence, he headed home.

"Brother Yun, the matter is settled. From now on, you will lead that team."

After saying that, Xiao Yi went to find Dugu Yan.
