Douluo Continent: Awakening the Original Martial Soul at the Start.

Chapter 28 Victory

Li Fei's soul power was completely depleted during that displacement. In the end, his soul power was still nearly ten levels lower than his two brothers, so he couldn't possibly win in a soul power contest.

But what Li Fei is truly strong about now is not his soul power, but his physical martial soul and the hard physique he has honed over the years.

Li Fei, who had already reached Qian Renxue, exerted force with both feet, raising the tungsten steel rod above his head. The muscles in his calves began to contract and expand continuously, beating like a heart, which was the way he generated the power of the Chaotic Cloak Hammer.

With a single swing, a whistling sound rang out, and ripples appeared in the air. The red orb of light was precisely struck, and an incomparably domineering power burst forth, shattering the orb directly without even causing an explosion.

"It's over, Dali Duo!"

Li Fei's face was resolute as he dispersed the ball of light. The muscles in his legs twitched even more rapidly. This time, he did not choose to transfer the force to his arms, but instead exploded directly from his feet. He sprang up like a spring and instantly appeared in front of the two brothers, swinging the tungsten steel rod and striking them hard.

"Bang!"

The two brothers were sent flying and crashed heavily onto the ground outside the ring.

The entire audience fell silent instantly. Just a second ago, the Dali duo were on the rise, and everyone thought they were sure to win. How could the two brothers have flown out of the ring and lost the match in the blink of an eye?

For a moment, many gamblers who had bet on the "powerful combination" to win were finding it hard to accept, especially since the opponents were two children.

"The fifth round of the competition is over, and the winners are the Holy Rabbit duo!" The host quickly realized what was happening and rushed to the stage to announce the results.

"We won! We won!"

Qian Renxue grabbed Li Fei's arm and jumped up and down with joy. The six-year-old girl didn't understand anything about the separation of men and women; she was just very happy at the moment.

"Yes! We won!"

Li Fei looked exhausted, but a satisfied smile played on his lips. He hadn't felt anything when he unleashed his full power, but now that he had relaxed, he felt sore all over, and fatigue kept creeping over him. However, he thoroughly enjoyed the battle, finding it exhilarating and savoring the process of gradually growing stronger in combat.

Given the current situation, Li Fei had no way to participate in any more Soul Battles, so he could only drag his exhausted body out of the Soul Battle Arena with Qian Renxue.

By this time, both of them had already removed their masks, and Li Fei had also changed his clothes and was walking down the street.

"Li Fei, let's participate in the Soul Battle after I've mastered my swordsmanship!" Qian Renxue said earnestly as she walked along the road. She had witnessed the entire Soul Battle today, and if she hadn't held Li Fei back, he probably would have won long ago and wouldn't be looking so exhausted now.

"Okay!" Li Fei nodded blankly, exhausted and wanting nothing more than to go back and get a good night's sleep.

"However, there's one thing you have to promise me!" Qian Renxue said seriously.

"What is it?!" Li Fei asked, puzzled.

"You don't need to protect me during the upcoming battles. I also want to learn how to fight and become as strong as you!" Qian Renxue said firmly, with a hint of worry in her eyes. She was afraid that Li Fei would get hurt because of her, and she didn't want that to happen, so she wanted to become stronger and be able to protect herself.

"This..." Li Fei suddenly felt all his fatigue disappear, and looked troubled.

"I know you're worried about my identity! Don't worry, I'll talk to my father about it later, and this matter won't involve you." Qian Renxue saw the concern in Li Fei's eyes and said in a deep voice, trying to dispel Li Fei's concerns.

"This girl really knows how to make things difficult for people. From now on, we need to choose quick and decisive battles and try not to give her a chance to make a move!" Having decided on the next battle strategy in his mind, Li Fei nodded in agreement.

When passing by Yiren Pastry Shop, Li Fei thought for a moment, went in and bought a few strawberry cakes, which he then handed to Qian Renxue.

"This is today's cake!"

"Okay! I received it!" Qian Renxue took the cake, her eyes shining with joy. She said earnestly, "Also, I'll complete today's training by myself. You should go back and get some rest!"

"Alright! Your Highness, I'll be going now!"

……

Back home, Li Fei collapsed onto the bed and fell fast asleep. He woke up hungry the next morning, stretched, and slowly sat up.

"That was a really good night's sleep!"

"My soul power..."

Just as Li Fei was about to stretch his body to eat breakfast, he was surprised to find that his soul power had increased by one level, reaching level seventeen, and the flow of soul power within his body had also become smoother.

"Wouldn't you call this a pleasant surprise!"

Nodding in satisfaction, Li Fei went to the kitchen, where Jiang Xin had already prepared a large table of food. Li Ming was also sitting at the table, but his expression didn't look very good.

"Dad, what happened?!" Li Fei asked, picking up a piece of soul beast meat from the table and taking a bite.

"Fei'er, we left in a hurry and didn't take those workers who helped make gunpowder with us. It's been more than two months now, and we haven't seen a single one of them!" Li Ming said seriously.

"I thought it was something serious! Turns out it's nothing!" Upon hearing this, Li Fei was speechless. He hadn't intended to hide the method of making gunpowder from the beginning. In this world, the strong are respected, and only strength is fundamental. Gunpowder is just something to be used as a temporary measure.

"I'm being very serious with you, kid!" Li Ming's face turned ugly.

"Dad, don't worry! Each of those craftsmen only has a portion of the information, and the most crucial ingredient, white sugar, is something only you and I know. Even if they manage to make gunpowder, it'll just be a slightly more powerful firework!"

Gunpowder exists in this world, but like in ancient China, it was mostly used to make fireworks for viewing.

"real?!"

"real!"

Seeing his son nod seriously, Li Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"See! I told you there was no problem. If there had been a problem, Fei'er would have told you already!" Jiang Xin said irritably as she sat down next to Li Ming.

"I was just worried!" Li Ming said with an embarrassed expression.

Li Fei looked at the two helplessly. In order to avoid being fed dog food, he suddenly sped up his eating speed and ate until he was about 80% full in just a few minutes.

"I'm going to the Spirit Hall first!" After saying that, he got up and ran away as if he were fleeing!

Once outside his home, Li Fei adopted a leisurely pace, making his way towards the Spirit Hall at a leisurely pace.

Upon entering the Spirit Hall, he headed straight for the Simulation Training Room, as usual.

"Waaaaah! Waaaah!..."

A slightly low sobbing sound came from behind, which puzzled Li Fei. He could recognize that it was Qian Renxue's voice, but who in the entire Spirit Hall could provoke this ancestor and make her cry?

Following the sound, Li Fei went over and saw Qian Renxue sitting by the hill with her knees drawn up, her body twitching, her eyes red and swollen, gazing at the Soul Master School in the distance.

However, Yingjie's figure was unusually not hidden in the shadows, but stood behind Qian Renxue like a javelin, her face showing some bewilderment.
