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

Chapter 43 Wanting to Change the World

"What do you want to do?!" The young man looked terrified and stammered, "I...I am...Kunmujin, Prince Barak's...most beloved son!"

Li Fei's fingers transformed into sword fingers, and with a light stroke, four sword lights flashed, severing all the tendons in Kunmu Jin's limbs. The sword lights flashed again, piercing through his dantian and crippling him.

"Ah! Let me go!"

Kunmu Jin instantly felt weak all over, unable to move his limbs, and begged for mercy in a very pitiful voice.

Li Fei ignored the warnings and remained unresponsive, letting the Kunmujin burn in the fire. He then found a shovel in a nearby villager's house, went to the middle of the village square, and began digging a pit.

Faced with immense power, they quickly dug a pit ten meters deep, then turned around and neatly placed the villagers' mummified corpses one by one into the pit. With a forceful shovel, they pushed all the surrounding earth into it, then filled it in, creating a makeshift grave.

They found two pieces of wood from a nearby unburned house, tied them together to form a huge cross in front of the square, and then tied Kunmujin, who was too weak to speak, directly to it.

"You got off easy!"

He took out five grenades from his storage bracelet and, using some activation devices he had learned to make from soul tools, set five traps on Kunmu Jin's body. If anyone tried to remove him, the grenades would explode, killing everyone around.

Still feeling somewhat unsafe, Li Fei buried thirteen more grenades under the cross, which would trigger a chain of explosions, ensuring the attackers would suffer greatly.

Li Fei made several more cuts on Kunmu Jin's body and cut off his tongue. This way, unless someone was a spiritual master, no one would know who he was, and if no one came over, the guy would eventually die from blood loss.

They then cut off the heads of twelve soldiers and built a mound of heads in front of the grave.

After doing all this, Li Fei stood in front of the grave and began to mutter to himself.

"I have avenged you. Although I don't know you, this incident has given me a deeper understanding of the world and its cruelty. I hope you will not be born into such a distorted world in your next life."

"I can't change anything for now, but when I become strong enough to change the world, I will definitely make changes to it. At the very least, I will ensure that ordinary people have the ability to survive in this world, instead of the entire village being slaughtered because of the selfish desires of a single evil spirit master..."

"..."

After muttering to himself for ten minutes at the grave, Li Fei prepared to leave. He used Moonwalk to fly through the air towards Zean City, instead of heading to Barak City.

Li Fei flew five thousand meters using Moonwalk, leaving only a trace of soul power in his body before landing on a tree. He used his physical strength to leap between the trees, trying to leave as few traces as possible.

As the sun set and the sky was ablaze with fiery clouds, Li Fei finally arrived in Ze'an City.

Using his familiarity with the city, Li Fei entered Ze'an City without alerting the guards, found a high-end hotel, and booked a room.

At the Rose Hotel in Ze'an City, Li Fei took a shower, lay down on the large bed, and took out the soul bone dropped by the Gale Wolf King from his storage bracelet.

"This is the Speed ​​Leg Bone of the Swift Wind Chaser, which is nearly 30,000 years old. Its attached skill is the ability to draw wind blades, making it a minor top-tier item."

"It's a pity that plant-type soul beasts basically didn't drop soul bones before 100,000 years ago. Otherwise, after torturing the Blue Silver King like that, he would have at least dropped a soul bone!"

After tossing the soul bone into his storage bracelet, Li Fei went to sleep. He planned not to absorb this soul bone for the time being. Soul bones were more important than soul rings, so he had to be very careful when absorbing it. He would see if there were any better soul bones in the future, and it wouldn't be too late to absorb it if there weren't.

"Have you heard?! The evil spirit master that Prince Kunshiqing's son, Kunmujin, encountered yesterday was nailed to a cross in a village; his death was horribly gruesome!"

"Not only that, I heard that Prince Quincey was killed by a weapon hidden on his son's body by that evil sorcerer while he was retrieving the corpse. Now King Kundera has ordered a search for the thief!"

"This is truly gratifying! The Barak royal family, relying on their control of the army, has constantly oppressed us common people, and now they've finally gotten their comeuppance!"

"Stop talking! The soldiers are coming!"

……

As Li Fei walked down the street, listening to the conversations of the crowd around him, a strange light flashed in his eyes. He hadn't expected such an unexpected gain; he had actually managed to kill Prince Barak as well.

They soon arrived at the city gate, where there were many more soldiers than usual checking people. Li Fei showed the soldiers at the city gate the papal decree and easily left Ze'an City. He then took a carriage and headed towards Wuhun City.

Inside the Martial Soul Academy!

Qian Renxue sat on the wall, the sacred flame in her hand constantly changing shape, looking up at the direction of the Star Dou Great Forest, her eyes full of worry.

"Sister Xue, are you thinking about Teacher Li Fei again?! Don't worry, he's so amazing, he'll be fine!" Hu Liena climbed onto the wall and comforted Qian Renxue.

"But it's been three months already. What kind of soul beast could have kept him from succeeding for so long?!" Qian Renxue asked worriedly.

"Sister Xue, I know this. It's either Blue Silver Grass or the Tree of Life. Neither of these are easy soul beasts to find. It's normal for it to take some time!" Li Fan came over to comfort her. Although he was also worried, he had absolute confidence in Li Fei.

"What?! Blue Silver Grass! Isn't Blue Silver Grass just a weed?! It can even generate spirit rings!" Hu Liena asked, completely bewildered. She was a top student in academic subjects and had learned a lot about spirit beasts recently, but she had never seen an introduction to Blue Silver Grass spirit beasts in any books.

"I don't know about that, but my brother highly recommends the Blue Silver Grass spirit beast, saying it's one of the best spirit ring configurations for plant-type martial souls, and it's extremely powerful!" Li Fan explained, shaking his head.

"Nana, why aren't you training? What are you doing here!" Qian Renxue said, feigning coldness, her mood having calmed down somewhat.

"They're just worried about you!" Hu Liena muttered, not daring to cause any trouble, and ran towards the squad in the distance. Qian Renxue was much tougher than Li Fei during training, with all sorts of strange punishments, and she didn't want to be punished.

"Li Fei, I believe you can definitely come back!" Qian Renxue glanced in the direction of the Star Dou Great Forest and flew down from the wall to urge Hu Liena and the others to train.

"Brother! I believe in you!" Li Fan glanced at the sky, his eyes filled with longing.
