Soul Town: Claiming the throne? You've asked my Tian Ce Army, haven't you?

"Sun Zhantian, you don't even have the courage to deal with a small tiger, yet you want to avenge your master?"

"I……"

"More wild beasts will be lured here soon. You can continue to call for help like before, and I will save you. But it's up to you to decide when you can summon your guardian spirit!"

Sun Zhantian fell silent. Li Moxuan was right. If they couldn't even handle a wild beast, how could they take revenge?

Soon, the bushes stirred again, this time attracting the attention of a vicious wolf...

fine……

Sun Zhantian breathed a sigh of relief, pulled out the long knife from the ground, held it in his hand, and stared intently at the wolf.

Fight!

Sun Zhantian gripped her long sword and slashed at the wolf, which then pounced on her.

Thanks to the rigorous training she received from Monk Xuansong, and her excellent physique, the two fought evenly.

Not bad... No wonder he's the future Tiger King...

Li Moxuan sat on the treetop, took out some melon seeds from his pocket and started eating them, while also chatting with Li Jing.

"Pharmacist, you said I have a total of nine guardian spirits. Who are the other eight guardian spirits?"

"Your Highness need not be anxious. When the time is right, the generals will meet with you."

"How boring..."

Li Moxuan then began to consider the current situation. In this timeline, the Tongqing Banquet Incident should have just occurred.

Huangfu Longdou and all the Tiangang Dragon Chess Generals except Xuanma Leipao were forcibly sealed for ten years by the current Grand Emperor using the Wheel of Divine Pearl, so they are relatively safe.

Xiang Yu's spirit host, Xiang Kunlun, has already appeared in the underworld, but he's still on the Island of Dead Souls. Meanwhile, Lu Bu's spirit host, Diao Lingyun, is probably still being held captive in a pigsty by human traffickers...

Hmm... If there's a chance later, I might try to go to the human realm to find Diao Lingyun. Maybe I can recruit her into my camp before Xiang Kunlun does.

Oh right, I also need to find Qin Wang Gong and Yu Chi Lie Tang. It was fine before I transmigrated, but now that I have the Martial God Body of the Li family, it would be a bit too much if they still followed Xiang Kunlun!

Hmm... what else?

"Your Highness, it's time to make a move..."

"Huh? Make a move? Make what... Holy crap!"

…………

Are you an idiot?

On the way back to Canglong Temple, Li Moxuan carried the battered Sun Zhantian on his back and noticed the blood flowing down her arm. He couldn't help but curse.

"I wanted you to not ask for help, and you really didn't!"

"I just want to rely on my own strength..."

"Come on!"

Li Mo interrupted her mercilessly, "You almost got your throat bitten just now, you know? And with so many wild animals around, didn't you even try to run away?"

"The enemy has a large number of beasts and is powerful. If you know you can't win but still fight, you're just a fool who's only showing off. You need to learn to outsmart them, for example..."

Hearing Li Moxuan's harsh scolding, Sun Zhantian smiled instead. She could tell that Li Moxuan cared about her, just like a master.

"Isn't it you who's here with me?"

"I……"

Li Moxuan was speechless for a moment. He had been lost in thought. If Li Jing hadn't reminded him, he didn't dare to imagine what the consequences would have been. Even now, thinking about it, he still felt a little scared...

"Fine, here's something for you!"

Li Moxuan took out a string of silver bells with red tassels from his pocket and handed them to Sun Zhantian.

Sun Zhantian took it, glanced at it, and said, "Why are you giving me this? I'm not a house cat..."

"Idiot, I didn't tell you to wear it around your neck, it's to hang on your waist. Wear this from now on, and evil spirits will come when they hear the noise, so it'll attract monsters!"

"Of course, it will also attract my attention, so that you, you idiot, won't refuse to ask for help even if it means dying, do you hear me?"

As for his own distraction, Li Moxuan didn't mention a single word about it...

After waiting for a long time without any response, Li Moxuan turned around and saw that Sun Zhantian had fallen asleep, and his injuries had mostly healed under the nourishment of his spiritual power.

She fell asleep so quickly; she must be exhausted today...

Li Moxuan put Sun Zhantian back on the bed, treated her still-unhealed wounds, and then covered her with a blanket.

"I, a descendant of the prestigious Li Tang imperial family, have actually fallen to this state..."

However, when he thought of a certain spirit medium who made a living by delivering takeout, Li Moxuan felt that he was doing quite well.

After muttering a complaint to himself, Li Moxuan left the room, intending to go back and get some rest.

Once the system task is complete, I will leave...

Unbeknownst to him, after he left, spiritual energy points gathered around Sun Zhantian, and Zhou Yu's figure slowly emerged.

Looking at Sun Zhantian on the bed, he sighed, "As expected of a descendant of the Sun family, even as a woman, she is full of courage!"

He stretched out his hand, and a pair of black and gold gauntlets with lightning-like surfaces appeared in his hand. This item was the Sun family's ancestral artifact - the Great Wilderness Purple Lightning.

After placing the Great Wilderness Purple Lightning on the bedside table, Zhou Yu looked towards the door with a furrowed brow.

He had long seen that Li Moxuan was a very strong spirit possessor, whose spiritual power was comparable to, or even greater than, that of Sun Zhantian.

This was already surprising enough, after all, Sun Zhantian not only possessed the Martial God Body, but also the Divine Thunder Seal...

Although he didn't know who Li Moxuan's guardian spirit was, the fact that an ordinary spirit user could reach such a level was enough to demonstrate his genius.

As for Li Moxuan, he also possesses the Martial God Body...

Sorry, Zhou Yu never even considered it. After all, the Martial God Body is a once-in-a-century occurrence, how could he possibly come across it by chance?

"Let me see what tricks you have up your sleeve!"

After uttering these words, Zhou Yu transformed into specks of spiritual energy and slowly dissipated...

Chapter 4: The Great Wilderness Purple Lightning

"Sun Zhantian, get up!"

Li Moxuan pushed open the door, preparing to pull Sun Zhantian out to accompany him for his morning run. Although there would be a test that evening, the training couldn't be neglected.

Sun Zhantian had already woken up and was sitting on the bed fiddling with the Great Wilderness Purple Lightning he had just discovered.

"Great Wilderness Purple Lightning?"

Li Moxuan looked surprised. "Sun Zhantian, where did you find him?"

When he was looking for something to eat, he searched the entire Canglong Temple, but he couldn't even find a trace of the Great Wilderness Purple Lightning.

Sun Zhantian pointed to the bedside table, "It's right here!"

A bedside table? Was it hidden in there?

"Wait, how do you know its name?"

Sun Zhantian was slow to realize that even she had only just learned the name of the Great Wilderness Purple Lightning, while Li Moxuan's tone made it sound like he had known it all along.

"I've only heard about it..."

Li Moxuan gave a perfunctory answer and stepped forward, "Have you tried it on?"

"not yet……"

As Sun Zhantian spoke, he put the Great Wilderness Purple Lightning on his wrist. Instantly, the Great Wilderness Purple Lightning crackled with lightning and unleashed powerful spiritual energy in all directions.

Is it coming?

Li Moxuan was excited. If nothing unexpected happened, Sun Zhantian would be able to summon his guardian spirit soon!

But after flashing with lightning for a while, the Great Wilderness Purple Lightning went limp and remained completely still...

Is this... atrophied?

"Sun Zhantian, try summoning your guardian spirit!"

"Oh...how do I summon it?"

"Like this."

Li Moxuan taught her the summoning movements once, "This movement can help beginners concentrate their spiritual power. When you clap your hands, you also need to shout 'Guardian Spirit Summoning!' Give it a try!"

"Oh……"

Sun Zhantian imitated Li Moxuan, concentrated on completing the movements, and shouted, "Guardian Spirit Summon!"

Nothing happened...

"Don't rush, try a few more times!"

"Guardian Spirit Summoning!"

"Guardian Spirit Summoning..."

"..."

After trying several times, Sun Zhantian slumped to the ground, feeling somewhat discouraged.

"Li Moxuan, you must be mistaken. I might... not be a spirit host at all..."

Li Moxuan remained silent; he had already discerned some clues.

When Sun Zhantian made his movements, there was a constant flow of spiritual energy emanating from his body. This would not have happened without a guardian spirit.

Either her guardian spirit doesn't want to come out, or someone is preventing her guardian spirit from coming out, and that person is most likely Zhou Yu.

Since that's the case, I'll create a scenario where her guardian spirit has no choice but to appear!

Li Moxuan secretly formulated a plan, but he still needed time to put it into action...

"Sun Zhantian, let's go!"

"Huh? Where to?"

"If you want to summon your guardian spirit, come with me to continue training!"
