Nan Xuan sat outside alone, sorting through how things had developed.
His spiritual power had already reached the limit of the Douluo world. Unless he became a god, he could not break through that limit. But there was definitely no divine position for him to inherit, so he could only create one himself.
"Ugh, there's so much to do. Even after coming to another world, I'm still doomed to work myself to the bone." Nan Xuan leaned back and cried out miserably.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's inherited Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul was known as the number one beast Martial Soul on Douluo Continent, holding an extremely lofty status among Soul Masters. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was also one of the Heaven Dou Empire's Upper Three Sects, and the entire sect was the pride of the empire.
Years ago, a disgrace appeared within this sect. As the son of Thunder Douluo, a level 95 Super Douluo and the sect master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the Martial Soul he awakened was instead a pig-like soul beast with huge ears and a round face.
As a direct-line disciple, he had awakened a pig Martial Soul, leaving all the elders stunned on the spot. Afterward, the elders wanted to drive that disgrace out of the sect, but because he was the sect master's son and the sect master fiercely protected him, they could only let it go.
Until today, the child who had awakened the Pig Beast Martial Soul back then was already twenty years old. According to sect rules, he had to leave upon reaching adulthood, but due to his special circumstances, it had been delayed by two years.
And so, that young man with the Pig Beast Martial Soul began traveling across the continent.
At the same time, the Haotian Twin Stars of the Clear Sky Sect had also made a name for themselves across the continent.
In Holy Soul Village.
"Xuan, how did you know about this?" Nineteen-year-old Bibi Dong rested her head on Nan Xuan's thigh.
"Did you forget who I am? I'm the master of the Network World. It's easy enough for me to find out something like that." Nan Xuan brushed aside the silky hair covering Bibi Dong's eyes.
"That's true. You're the god of that world now." Bibi Dong turned over and lay directly between Nan Xuan's legs.
"Don't move around. You'll be responsible if something happens later." Feeling Bibi Dong's movement, Nan Xuan teased her.
Bibi Dong felt somewhat depressed upon hearing that. What was this guy thinking about all day? She was just more comfortable lying this way.
The two had settled down in Holy Soul Village for over two years. Qian Xunji's influence on Bibi Dong had faded considerably, though if she got the chance, she would still choose to kill him.
"Xuan, do you think raising our Soul Power like this might be a little unstable?" Looking at her level 60 Soul Power, Bibi Dong asked worriedly.
"Don't worry about that. This Soul Power has all been compressed and purified. Gaining one level every three months is already slow. You could reach this speed through cultivation too, so just relax. Would I lie to you?" Nan Xuan calmly said as his hand wandered over Bibi Dong's body.
"By the way, can your hand behave itself? We do that every day, and you're still not satisfied?" Bibi Dong was truly speechless at Nan Xuan's movements. How could this man have so much energy?
Nan Xuan blushed slightly at her words, but his hand did not stop moving.
"Xuan, after I obtain my seventh soul ring, I plan to go to Slaughter City and acquire Divine Slaughter's Domain." Bibi Dong looked at Nan Xuan with a somber expression.
"Mm, go ahead. When the time comes, I'll add another layer of spiritual imprints to your Martial Soul. My Network World doesn't cover Slaughter City. The Soul Masters there are bloodthirsty and violent, so be careful. Don't drink the Bloody Mary inside. With my spiritual power, the killing aura there won't affect your mind."
Nan Xuan was not surprised by Bibi Dong's request. Her ambition had never faded, and coupled with the beastly things Qian Xunji had done, she now wanted even more to build her own cause.
"Ah, you actually agreed." Bibi Dong said in surprise.
"What, you don't want to go anymore? Fine, then stay in Holy Soul Village with me and grow old." Nan Xuan lifted Bibi Dong's chin and grinned foolishly.
"Of course I do. I want to gain strength, then kill that beast." Bibi Dong looked at Nan Xuan with firm eyes.
"Then there you have it. For now, I can only offer you some protection. The rest is up to you." Nan Xuan said with a slightly aggrieved look.
"I'm sorry, Xuan. I know you don't like struggles for power or conflicts between factions. You only like living reclusively in this world. I also want to stay and keep you company, but someone has to do these things." Bibi Dong looked at him with guilt on her face and tears shimmering in her eyes.
"Then how about trying an extra position tonight?" Nan Xuan's expression abruptly changed as he leered at Bibi Dong.
"Are you looking to die? Can't you be serious for once?" The feeling of wanting to cry instantly vanished as Bibi Dong saw Nan Xuan's expression.
Old Jack, who happened to be passing by while fishing, sighed. "Being young is wonderful."
At the entrance of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, a short-haired young man looked back once before leaving.
Just wait. I'll definitely break through level 30 and prove that there are no useless Martial Souls, only useless Soul Masters. Yu Xiaogang silently resolved to prove himself and wash away his shame.
On the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, the two Tang brothers were training. Every day, they would take some time to fight soul beasts.
Tang Hao swung his Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul as he chased a soul beast through the forest.
Just as he raised his hammer to bring it down, a vine formed from Blue Silver Grass wrapped around him.
"You aren't even trying to obtain a soul ring, so why do you keep hurting them?" A blue-haired girl held an injured Soft Bone Rabbit in her arms, using the life energy of her Martial Soul to heal its wounds.
Tang Hao looked at the girl, who seemed like an elf that had stepped out of the forest, and his heart began racing.
When Tang Xiao heard that his younger brother's side had suddenly gone quiet, he hurried over to take a look.
"Hey, can't you two answer my question?" The elf-like girl looked at the two fools and said angrily.
"Ah, we didn't do this. I saw them fighting just now, so I swung my Martial Soul to break up the fight. Right, Brother?" Tang Hao hurriedly gave Tang Xiao a meaningful look as he faced the elf-like girl.
"Oh, right, yes, yes. We were breaking up a fight. We definitely weren't hurting them." Tang Xiao immediately caught on upon seeing that look.
"Hmph, I'll take your word for it." The elf-like girl put down the Soft Bone Rabbit in her arms and walked toward the other injured soul beasts.
"Um, hello. My name is Tang Hao, and this is my older brother, Tang Xiao. We're both from the Clear Sky Sect, and our Martial Souls are Clear Sky Hammers. We came here to train—no, just passing through, to exercise." Tang Hao scratched the back of his head and spoke shyly.
"Hello, my name is Ah Yin. My Martial Soul is Blue Silver Grass." Blue energy radiated from Ah Yin's hands before drifting toward the injured soul beasts.
"That's amazing. Are you a Support-type Soul Master?" Tang Hao asked.
"Maybe. I know a little about control skills too." Ah Yin smiled.
The three formed a bond just like that and began traveling across the continent.
At the entrance to Holy Soul Village.
"Let's go. Today, your husband will help you obtain your sixth soul ring." Nan Xuan helped the disguised Bibi Dong into the carriage, and they headed toward the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Should we recruit another Soul Master after all? This time, I want a soul beast between twenty and thirty thousand years old. I'm worried." Nan Xuan and Bibi Dong had already entered the Star Dou Great Forest, but Nan Xuan had not recruited any Soul Masters this time, making her uneasy.
"Don't worry. I would never screw over a teammate, much less my wife." Nan Xuan looked at Bibi Dong with a grin and assured her.
Since Nan Xuan had put it that way, Bibi Dong had nothing left to hesitate over.
As Nan Xuan had said, Bibi Dong's acquisition of her sixth soul ring was not especially difficult.
Nan Xuan used his First Soul Skill to search for a target, then spread Seal Wings and flew into the air. He used spiritual control on the Blood-Sucking Demon Spider, then used Seal Wings' soul skill to seal its Soul Power. All Bibi Dong had to do was finish it off.
"You call yourself a Support-type Soul Master?" Bibi Dong asked in surprise as she watched Nan Xuan's seamless one-stop service.
"What else would I be? A power-attack type?" Nan Xuan spread his hands and showed off helplessly.
"Hmph, you show-off. You're already grown up, but you're still the same as when you were little." Bibi Dong scoffed at Nan Xuan's expression.
Nan Xuan did not mind. How could women understand a man's happiness?
Nan Xuan's current strength was roughly at the level of a Title Douluo, though only in terms of spiritual power. As for Soul Power, he was still a level 60, five-ring Soul King.
Bibi Dong had already begun absorbing the soul ring, finishing after eight hours.
"Dong'er, what's your soul skill?" Nan Xuan walked over and asked Bibi Dong.
"Blood-Sucking Spider Thorn." Bibi Dong did not demonstrate it, because its name alone made its nature obvious.
"So, where do you plan to get your sixth soul ring? Want this Soul Emperor to arrange it for you?" Imitating Nan Xuan's manner, Bibi Dong began teasing him.
"Eh." Nan Xuan shuddered.
"What, do you dislike me?" Bibi Dong frowned at Nan Xuan's expression.
"No, no, absolutely not. Madam, you're overthinking it. I'm planning to go to the Extreme North to obtain my sixth soul ring, so I just shivered a little." Nan Xuan would never tell her that he had been overexerting himself lately and his legs felt a little weak.
"Hmph, it had better not be." Bibi Dong waved her fist and gave a coquettish snort.
"Also, why did you choose to go to the Extreme North for your soul ring? Doesn't the vast Star Dou Great Forest have one?" Bibi Dong was also rather speechless at how picky Nan Xuan was about soul rings. Still, his Martial Soul was strange, and the soul skills he gained were equally miraculous.
One Martial Soul opened an entire world.
"There really isn't one in the Star Dou Great Forest. The soul beast I need is called a Mirror Beast, and that kind of soul beast only exists in the Extreme North." Nan Xuan was somewhat speechless too. When would he be able to crossbreed these things over?
"Then let's go. Stop dawdling. Your big sister is very busy." Bibi Dong kicked Nan Xuan in the butt. While her Soul Power Level was still higher than his, she wanted to bully him a little more. Otherwise, she would be the one underneath again later.
Thinking about how she, the dignified Saintess, was pinned beneath this guy made her truly angry.
Nan Xuan looked at his wife, whose mental age was only three, smiled, shook his head, and chased after her.
After a week of arduous travel, the two finally arrived in the Extreme North.
Both of them were wrapped in thick, snow-white cotton clothes. As long as they lay on the ground without making a sound, they could blend directly into their surroundings.
"This way." Nan Xuan pointed toward a snowy mountain forest.
The two barely spoke along the way. Don't ask why. It was simply too cold.
"Once I reach the level of a Title Douluo, I'll definitely come here and run naked once. I refuse to believe it'll still freeze me." Nan Xuan looked at the icy mountain ahead, breathing out white vapor as he declared boldly.
"How shameless. If you freeze that thing off, don't come crying to me." Bibi Dong was a top student. Even a level 95 Title Douluo had to wear clothes here. He was just a support-type Soul Master, yet he wanted to mess around.
"Shh, we're here. Hehehe." Nan Xuan said with a grin, ice flecks clinging to his hair.
A soul beast resembling a polar bear lay asleep in the cave ahead.
"Seal Wings." Nan Xuan directly activated the sealing formation, then pressed down with his spiritual power. Bibi Dong watched for the right moment, and the sixth soul ring behind her lit up.
Blood-Sucking Spider Thorn. Bibi Dong had not wanted to use this move, because it required Martial Soul Possession, which made her look very "evil."
Nan Xuan seized the opportunity to drive a dagger into its neck.
"If it gave us a Martial Soul Master's cry, we could have New Year's Eve dinner." Nan Xuan sighed.
