Douluo Continent: Crossing Over to Battle Through the Heavens, Starting with a 100,000-Year Soul Rin

"What's wrong, Sister Yafei? You missed me?"

Just then, a cheerful voice, tinged with a hint of teasing, rang out from outside the window.

She turned her head and saw Xiao Wujiu's handsome face looking at her with a smile in his eyes.

Those spirited phoenix eyes shimmered with tears, causing Ya Fei's face to flush red. She bit her lip lightly and then said in an annoyed tone.

"You little rascal, you don't even knock before coming to my place!"

Chapter 22 Martial Soul Awakening, Gold Element!

"I went through the window, why are you knocking on the door?" Xiao Wujiu leaned closer to Ya Fei, looking at her with a smile. "Besides, I have something I want to discuss with Sister Ya Fei that I don't want others to know."

"What are you doing... Speak properly."

Looking at Xiao Wujiu so close to her, Ya Fei shyly reached out and pushed him away.

As the chief auctioneer of the Mittel Auction House in Utan City, she had seen all sorts of people, but she couldn't remain indifferent to the person in front of her.

Xiao Wujiu was not annoyed after being gently pushed away; he simply smiled.

"Let's not talk about that now. You're finally back. I've found what you wanted."

To ease the awkwardness, Ya Fei took the initiative to change the subject and then took out a magic core and placed it on the table.

"After I returned to the family and explained the situation to Clan Chief Tengshan, I took out the sixth-order magic core from the family's collection after seeing the pills you refined."

"Clan Chief Tengshan said he hopes to make friends with you, so he is willing to give you this magic core. He only hopes that you will have time to visit the Mittel family in the capital."

Upon hearing Ya Fei's words, Xiao Wujiu couldn't help but admire her foresight and willingness to take risks. As expected of a soldier trained by Hai Bodong, she gave away a sixth-tier magic core without hesitation.

He picked up the magic core and examined it, discovering that it contained abundant energy, roughly equivalent to that of a three-star Dou Huang. It seemed that the owner of this magic core was at least a peak early-stage sixth-tier magical beast.

In addition to the external soul bone he hasn't absorbed yet, and the immortal herbs he brought back, these resources are enough to give his strength another surge!

"There is no clear record of which magical beast this magic core was taken from. All that is known is that it was killed by the Supreme Elder, Ice Emperor, one of the ten strongest people in the Gama Empire, and then placed in the family treasury."

"That's enough, thank you, Sister Yafei. I will make a trip to the capital, but..."

Looking at the demon core, Xiao Wujiu knew that the other party had also made a lot of effort for it, so he decided that she was the first person to try to awaken his martial soul!

So he leaned closer to Ya Fei again, his tone unusually serious, and asked, "Sister Ya Fei, do you want to improve your cultivation aptitude? Or rather, do you want to control your own destiny?"

He slowly revealed the purpose of his visit to her: to try and awaken Ya Fei's martial soul. After all, although he had a good relationship with most people in the Xiao family, it was only a good relationship. The only person he had a deeper connection with was Xiao Yan.

That's why he approached Ya Fei, a woman who longed to change her fate but lacked the talent for cultivation.

"What did you say?"

Ya Fei's expression, which had just regained its composure, instantly turned to disbelief. She subconsciously asked a question, but it was not hard to hear a hint of hope in her tone.

He didn't speak, but took out the Martial Soul Awakening Stone from his storage ring and waved it at Ya Fei, saying, "This is an awakening stone I found in a ruin. It can awaken a person's natal artifact and can improve their cultivation aptitude to a certain extent."

There are some things that can be said and some things that cannot be said, so he simply explained the most important function of the Awakening Stone, and he also showed Ya Fei his Martial Soul Creation Cauldron.

Upon seeing this, Consort Ya's eyes lit up, and she was extremely excited. She immediately grabbed Xiao Wujiu's hand, her eyes shining.

"Brother Wujiu, I want it!"

"Oh? What do you want, sister?"

"Well, of course I want to... Oh, so you dare to joke about me now?" Ya Fei said to Xiao Wujiu in an annoyed tone.

She felt that compared to before, the other person had become more confident, energetic, and hopeful, and was becoming more and more attractive to her...

The latter smiled and did not deny it, but pulled Ya Fei aside, set up an awakening array around her, and then arranged the awakening stones one by one.

"Sister Yafei, stand still. I will awaken it for you, and the awakened artifact will be called: Martial Soul."

As he spoke, he began to inject battle qi into the awakening stone. Due to the different world rules, the energy that activated the awakening stone also turned into battle qi.

At the same time, he manipulated the portal, mobilizing the energy accumulated after returning to Doupo, and injecting the world's primordial power into it, opening the door to Ya Fei's martial soul.

As the Awakening Stone began to emit golden light, Ya Fei, who was standing in the middle feeling uneasy, felt a warm sensation enveloping her.

Then, as if some kind of shackles had been broken, she raised her hands, and then many gold coins appeared around her, making her body shine with gold, as if she were also plated with a layer of gold!

"This is... gold?"

Looking at the rich awakening light and sensing the fluctuations, he was certain that the martial soul awakened by Ya Fei was definitely not as simple as a gold coin, which is why he judged it to be the gold element!

As for innate soul power, there is no such concept. Due to the migration of the martial soul system, Ya Fei's talent in martial soul will be converted into talent for cultivating battle qi. In other words, she will have the cultivation talent that originally belonged to soul power superimposed. This is also the reason why Xiao Wujiu can guarantee that he can improve her cultivation aptitude.

"A gold elemental martial soul would suit her quite well."

As the awakening slowly ended, Ya Fei opened her eyes, which shone with golden light. With the golden light, she really looked like the future "Golden Queen".

"Sister Yafei, how is it? Have you sensed what your martial soul is?"

"My martial spirit..." Ya Fei, who had just recovered from the warm current, also came to her senses, but she had no objects in her hands, only many gold coins around her.

"My martial soul is a gold coin?"

Ya Fei looked at the gold coins on the ground and said uncertainly.

However, she felt that this was not the case, but she had no idea what kind of martial soul it was, because she had only come into contact with the concept of martial soul today.

"No, your martial soul is not as simple as a gold coin, but the element of gold."

After organizing his thoughts, Xiao Wujiu began to explain the concept of martial spirits and the metal element to Ya Fei. At the same time, he asked her to try to condense other forms of objects. Soon after, many objects appeared in the room.

Bells, golden branches, and even clothes made of gold thread—through this process, Ya Fei was certain that her talent had been greatly enhanced!

Xiao Wujiu also felt a faint connection coming from the portal to Ya Fei. It was a protective connection that allowed the power of the world to exist. In other words, whether Ya Fei's martial soul existed or not depended on him!

This made him appreciate the power of the portal, and it also made it easier for him to make bold plans later.

Before he could think any further, he saw that Ya Fei's gaze was gradually hardening as she pushed him down onto the bed.

"No blame..."

"Ugh, Sister Yafei, what are you doing?"

"Let's do it..."

Chapter 23 Visiting Again to Seek Advice on Alchemy

That night, Xiao Wujiu looked at Ya Fei beside him and felt completely relaxed.

Her eyes were closed, as if she were taking a short rest. There were still some tear stains on her face, and several red marks were faintly visible on her snow-white body. There was also a splash of crimson on the bed, which testified to the madness that had just occurred.

Judging from her breathing rate, she was not asleep, so he gently placed his hand on Ya Fei's body.

"No... Wujiu, let your sister rest, okay? Your sister really can't go on."

Ya Fei's delicate body trembled, knowing she couldn't keep up the act any longer. She quickly opened her eyes and begged for mercy. Her once captivating and alluring eyes now pleaded with him pitifully.

"What's wrong? Weren't you flirting with me just now? Why aren't you doing it now? I remember, Sister Yafei wasn't very proactive at first~"

Xiao Wujiu brought his face close to Ya Fei's, his warm breath brushing against her already pink earlobes, and his gentle teasing voice seemed to seep into her ears like fine lines.

"Who knows... Anyway, it's not going to work. Next time, next time, okay? I'll do whatever you say."

At this moment, Ya Fei was no longer the same as before. She was now all that remained, clinging to Xiao Wujiu with a coquettish tone. From the moment she made up her mind, she had given her heart and soul to Xiao Wujiu.

"Alright, actually I wanted to give you this," Xiao Wujiu took out a pill from his storage ring, "This is a grade three healing pill, which can heal your 'injuries'."

"I don't want it. That's not how you use a grade three pill. I'll be fine in a couple of days."

She shook her head and refused Xiao Wujiu. After all, in Wutan City, this third-grade pill would attract many families to bid for it, and using it to treat... would be too wasteful.

"Does your man still lack these?" Xiao Wujiu said, then fed the pill to Ya Fei. "Alright, you should rest well. I have to go back to the Xiao family tonight to prepare some things for you. Just wait for me to come to you in the capital."

Seeing the rosy complexion on Consort Ya's face after she swallowed the pill, he lowered his head and gently kissed her red lips.

This kiss gradually calmed Ya Fei's initial panic. Although it was light and not as passionate as a deep entanglement, it seemed to have a more special meaning.

"No matter what happens in the future, I'll be there for you."

----------

After returning to the Xiao family, she learned from Ya Fei that the Xiao family had held a test a month ago, and she had been invited to participate in the Xiao family's coming-of-age ceremony a few days later.

He didn't rush back to his room, but instead turned around and headed to Xiao Yan's courtyard under the cover of night.

In Xiao Yan's courtyard.

Xiao Yan was currently sitting cross-legged in a wooden tub filled with Foundation Establishment Elixir, cultivating and striving to break through to the ninth level of Dou Qi.

The Foundation Establishment Elixir in the wooden tub gradually faded in color until it became a clear pool of water. Only then did he stop cultivating and exhale a breath of stale air.

Seeing that the medicine had lost its effect, he then got up and dressed.

"My cultivation has recovered to the eighth level of Dou Qi. In a while, I will be able to reach the ninth level of Dou Qi. At that time, I will take the Qi Gathering Powder that my cousin Wu Jiu gave me, and I will be able to return to the Dou Zhe level!"

Xiao Yan clenched his fists. Everything was happening so fast it felt unreal. He had really managed to advance five levels of Dou Qi in just one year!

"You deserve all of this. Even with abundant resources, you wouldn't be able to persevere without a firm belief."

The old man's voice echoed in Xiao Yan's mind, affirming his efforts.

"Teacher, where did my cousin Wujiu go? I haven't seen him for so long, and he didn't even come to last month's test."

"I don't know about that. Your teacher doesn't have that kind of ability to know everything. But with his strength, he could protect himself even if he traveled to the Gama Empire. Besides, he has quite a few secrets, so don't worry about him."

"Oh? You don't need to worry, your cousin is back and on his way here."

"You should talk to him first and see what he wants to do."

After Yao Chen finished speaking, he fell silent.

Just then, Xiao Yan's courtyard gate was knocked on, and Xiao Wujiu's voice came through.

"Cousin Xiao Yan, are you there?"

"Cousin Wujiu, I'm here!"

Xiao Yan immediately turned around and went outside, opening the courtyard gate for Xiao Wujiu, and then saw that familiar smiling face.

The latter glanced at Xiao Yan, smiled slightly, and said, "You've already reached the eighth level of Dou Qi. It seems you've really worked hard during this time."

He patted the other man on the shoulder, then put his arm around him and they returned to the courtyard.

"Cousin Wujiu, where have you been all this time? You didn't even come to the test."
