Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Mysterious Heavy Ruler

Chapter 89 Past

When Dugu Yan heard Zhu Zhuqing mention Xiao Yi, her eyes lit up, sensing a glimmer of hope.

Then he started talking to Zhu Zhuqing about Xiao Yi.

"Xiao Yi...where should I begin to tell you?" Dugu Yan pondered for a moment.

"He was born in Notting City, which is located on the border between the Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire. Because both his parents were Soul Masters, he had a very comfortable life from childhood." Dugu Yan's eyes sparkled when she mentioned Xiao Yi.

"When my father was young, he traveled the continent and settled in Notting City after meeting Xiao Yi's mother. After settling down, Xiao Yi's father started a Soul Hunting Group. However, when he was two years old, Xiao Yi's father helped his employer hunt for a Soul Ring and a Soul Bone was dropped, which caused internal strife within the Soul Hunting Group. In the end, everyone except Xiao Yi's father's friend died, including the employer. Xiao Yi's father's body was taken back by his friend, and the Soul Bone was sold by his friend and the money was divided among his family."

"After learning of Xiao Yi's father's death, Xiao Yi's mother became depressed and raised Xiao Yi alone from then on."

"However, when Xiao Yi was five years old, his mother fell seriously ill and eventually passed away, and his hair turned white as a result."

"When I first met him, I thought his hair was natural, but I never imagined it was grown later in life." A hint of heartache flashed in Dugu Yan's eyes as she said this.

After his mother died, Xiao Yi became indifferent and began to live alone. Only his father's friends visited him regularly.

"Then came the awakening of his martial soul. He awakened his martial soul at the age of six. He was very talented and had innate full soul power, which is the ruler he always carried on his back. His father's friend accompanied him to the event, and he called that person Uncle Zhang."

"After he awakened his martial soul, the Spirit Hall offered him a position, but the Pope of the Spirit Hall had just passed away and a new Pope had taken the throne. The Spirit Hall was in chaos, so he refused their offer."

"After that, Uncle Zhang took Xiao Yi to obtain a spirit ring, and then he went to Notting Academy to study."

"I met the infamous Yu Xiaogang at Notting College, also known as the Master."

"That Yu Xiaogang saw Xiao Yi's talent and wanted to take him as his disciple, but he only had theory and no results, and his strength was low. Xiao Yi felt that this so-called master was unreliable and refused."

"Later, after Xiao Yi learned about the master's reputation within the academy, he also came to a complete understanding of the master's character."

"After that, he spent his days in the academy attending classes, eating, and cultivating. During that time, that great master kept harassing him, forcing him to move out of the academy."

"After moving out of the academy, his cultivation speed increased even more, and he obtained his second spirit ring in just a year and a half."

"After Uncle Zhang helped him obtain his second spirit ring, he left, and then he returned to his normal life."

"When he was ten years old, he reached level 30 and applied to graduate from the academy. Because of his outstanding talent, the dean did not make things difficult for him and directly issued him a graduation certificate."

"After he got his graduation certificate, the master also recommended Shrek Academy to him. At first, he didn't pay attention to it, but after inquiring about the reputation of the academy, he found out that the registration fee was ten gold soul coins, and he had to reach level 20 before the age of twelve and level 40 before the age of twenty after graduation. Moreover, the academy was located in a small village outside the city. What's worse is that the registration fee is non-refundable if you don't meet the requirements."

"So after graduating, Xiao Yi went directly to the Star Dou Great Forest, obtained his own soul ring, and started a Soul Hunting Group."

"Most of the Soul Hunting Teams in the Star Dou Great Forest are temporary formations, and backstabbing is commonplace. Fortunately, Xiao Yi encountered a very good Soul Hunting Team and joined them."

"During his two years in the Star Dou Great Forest, he experienced intrigue and greed, and his hands were stained with blood."

"After two years of training in the Star Dou Great Forest, he felt that the Star Dou Great Forest was no longer of much use to him. He could easily venture into the outer area, but he couldn't enter the inner area alone. Even if he did enter, he couldn't defeat the powerful soul beasts inside. So he left the Soul Hunting Group and entered Heaven Dou City."

"After arriving in Tiandou City, he met my grandfather. They met at the auction house because he bought a piece of whale glue. At that time, he was thirteen years old and his soul power was level thirty-eight. My grandfather became interested when he saw him buying whale glue. What would such a young man do with whale glue? So after the auction, he followed Xiao Yi home."

"When Xiao Yi arrived at his home and saw my grandfather, he was initially very puzzled. However, after my grandfather introduced himself, he trembled all over. My grandfather asked him why he bought whale glue. After he told my grandfather about the effects of whale glue, he also noticed that my grandfather was poisoned. After that, my grandfather brought him to my home and asked him how he could tell that my grandfather was poisoned."

"After he told my grandfather about my grandfather's symptoms, my grandfather was about to attack him, but he said that only he could save my grandfather. After that, my grandfather brought me here, and that's when I got to know Xiao Yi."

"At first, my grandfather said he would introduce me to a genius. I didn't pay attention at the time. I thought to myself, how could any genius be as genius as me? But I didn't expect that after meeting Xiao Yi, I would realize that I was being presumptuous."

"At that time, I was fourteen years old and my soul power was level 32, while Xiao Yi was thirteen years old and his soul power was level 38. It was then that I realized that there are always people more powerful than me and that being a genius was just the threshold to meeting Xiao Yi."

"After that, Xiao Yi spent half a year curing the poison from me and my grandfather. At first, we bickered every day, but later I gradually became interested in him. After we were cured, we spent some time together and then got together," Dugu Yan told Zhu Zhuqing.

Dugu Yan told Zhu Zhuqing most of Xiao Yi's situation, but she didn't mention things like the Slaughter City and the Immortal Herb Garden. She knew the importance of these matters, and she would only tell Zhu Zhuqing after she had truly accepted Xiao Yi.

After listening to Dugu Yan's story, Zhu Zhuqing had a clear understanding of Xiao Yi. In short, he had relied on himself to get to where he was after awakening his martial soul.

Before Zhu Zhuqing awakened her martial soul, her parents and relatives treated her very well, but after she awakened her martial soul, the whole family's attitude towards her changed.

At first, she didn't understand why her relatives could change their attitude towards her so drastically overnight. After learning about the family rules, she realized that this tradition was not something she could change on her own.

Although her sister often suppressed her, she provided her with every single resource that belonged to her. On the other hand, Xiao Yi, a commoner, had to fight his way up to Soul Emperor without any resources in the early stages.
