Douluo: My Martial Soul Is My Own Fiancee

"But what?"

Xiao Nai first gave Zheng Li a faint look before saying with concern, "Don't do such dangerous things next time. Are you bullying me because I haven't seen it, so I don't know how powerful a Soul Emperor is? I felt so powerless in front of that figure just now."

"If an accident really happened, then... what would we do?"

"Xiao Nai..." Zheng Li was moved and reached out to hug her.

In another Sea of Consciousness, Huo Yuhao was being lectured by Tian Meng.

"Be careful next time, kid! Get out now, someone else is coming outside."

After saying this, he didn't wait for Huo Yuhao to respond before kicking him out of the Sea of Consciousness, sinking into a deep slumber himself.

Huo Yuhao: "..."

Outside.

Zheng Li woke up first. Xiao Nai told him that someone was waiting for them outside, and after kissing his forehead, she let him leave.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the white-clothed teacher who had healed them.

Upon seeing Zheng Li wake up, the white-clothed teacher spoke indifferently, saying nothing more than the words Zheng Li remembered Huo Yuhao was supposed to forget.

He then tossed four green objects to Zheng Li and said, "This is compensation, one for each of you. I believe you are smart people. Once they wake up, go to class."

After the white-clothed teacher finished speaking, he rose into the air and flew toward the center of the lake.

Zheng Li only reacted after catching the four walnut-sized green pills.

"Is this a Soul Ascension Pill? It smells quite good, and the appearance is decent, though it's a bit large."

Zheng Li muttered to himself in his heart, then woke up Ling Nan. Huo Yuhao woke up immediately after and proceeded to wake up Wang Dong.

As soon as Ling Nan realized what had happened, he shouted, "Damn! What was that just now? I felt like I was almost dead!"

Wang Dong also wore an expression of anger.

Zheng Li stepped forward to explain, "It should have been an inner court senior whose cultivation went wrong. Our injuries were healed by the white-clothed teacher with the Tree of Life martial soul from yesterday. He gave us four pills and told us to forget about this, otherwise, we'd be expelled. I imagine that senior's status is not low."

As he spoke, Zheng Li tossed each of them a Soul Ascension Pill and said, "One for each."

Wang Dong's eyes lit up instantly: "It's actually a Soul Ascension Pill."

Ling Nan was also stunned, then filled with surprise, "Soul Ascension Pill, good stuff!"

Clearly, Ling Nan recognized it as well.

Only Huo Yuhao asked with a blank expression, "What is a Soul Ascension Pill?"

Wang Dong: "I'll tell you later. It's almost time for class, let's go."

"Oh, oh." Huo Yuhao nodded, "Classmate Zheng Li, see you next time."

"Alright, remember to keep this matter buried in your stomach."

Zheng Li nodded and gave a reminder.

After the two of them left, Zheng Li turned to look at Ling Nan, who was sniffing the Soul Ascension Pill. His mouth twitched as he said, "Gluttonous Cat, let's go, get to class first. You can study it after class."

Hearing Zheng Li's words, Ling Nan suppressed his excitement and sprinted toward the New Student Teaching Building with Zheng Li.

After they left, a White-Clothed Elder appeared out of thin air, as if crossing through space. His slightly narrowed eyes landed on Zheng Li: "Is that the child Wei Lun mentioned, the one with Twin Martial Souls? Not bad..."

Chapter 16, Ling Nan and the Sharp-Tailed Swift

Class Five.

Just as Zheng Li and Ling Nan stepped into the classroom, the bell rang.

As soon as Ling Nan sat in his seat, he couldn't help but pat his chest and say, "That was close, almost late."

However, looking closely, one could still see the joy in his eyes.

Zheng Li, on the other hand, had a calm expression; he had already placed the Soul Ascension Pill into his System Space upon arriving.

He was unaware that he had just been tested by Yan Shaozhe.

He had the perfect opportunity to swallow all four Soul Ascension Pills for himself.

A Soul Ascension Pill can only be taken once in a person's lifetime, but Yan Shaozhe didn't think a "lonely orphan" like Zheng Li would know the name, effects, or limitations of the pill.

He assumed that in Zheng Li's eyes, these four pills must be precious treasures, and he wanted to see if Zheng Li would keep them for himself.

Later, the calmness Zheng Li displayed when taking the four pills was mistaken by Yan Shaozhe for composure, and his subsequent act of sharing them with the other three was seen as having an upright character.

If Zheng Li knew Yan Shaozhe's thoughts, he would definitely be speechless.

Zheng Li knew the effects of the Soul Ascension Pill very well, so taking more was useless to him. Even if they could be stacked, he wouldn't do it.

Not to mention the possibility of being exposed later, there was also Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eyes could record everything even when he was unconscious or his consciousness was in chaos, provided his eyes were open.

At that time, Huo Yuhao hadn't opened his eyes, but his Sea of Consciousness contained Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Electrolux; either one could have observed the outside world while Huo Yuhao was unconscious.

Furthermore, there was Wang Dong.

She was Tang San's daughter, and he doted on her greatly. Although gods have their own affairs, what if Tang San happened to be observing his daughter?

At this moment, Shen Lan walked in, but she didn't even step onto the podium. Instead, she said indifferently, "Everyone, gather in front of the Soul Fighting District now. I want to see everyone there within ten minutes."

"Teacher, what are we doing at the Soul Fighting District?"

A male student raised his hand and asked.

"Completing the practical combat we didn't finish yesterday afternoon!" Shen Lan explained before walking out of the classroom.

Everyone in the class looked at each other in dismay. Hadn't the class monitor already been chosen?

However, there was more excitement than anything else.

At this age, their hearts were full of hot-bloodedness and a competitive spirit. Naturally, they preferred to spar rather than sit in a classroom listening to boring theoretical knowledge or doing tedious physical conditioning.

Everyone rushed out of the classroom excitedly, heading toward the Soul Fighting District.

Zheng Li shook his head as he saw this scene.

This scene was exactly like when he was in middle school and about to head to physical education class.

Of course, it was the kind of PE class where they would run a few laps and then be dismissed for free time.

Zheng Li, Ling Nan, and Su Yunqing walked together.

Su Yunqing was as excited as a little girl, while Ling Nan looked listless.

"What's wrong with you?" Zheng Li patted Ling Nan on the shoulder and asked.

"Sigh... I don't want to do practical combat, what else could it be?" Ling Nan said powerlessly.

"Hm? Why?"

Ling Nan spread his hands and said, "I don't have any offensive Spirit Skills, and I'm an agility-attack type Spirit Master. My strength isn't high; I'm just a bit fast. Are you expecting me to dodge until I lose?"

"I see. Actually, you could just dodge until the opponent runs out of Spirit Power," Zheng Li suggested with a shake of his head.

"Uh... forget it. Not to mention that the opponent's Spirit Power might be stronger than mine, just doing what you said is exhausting," Ling Nan refused.

Beside them, Su Yunqing glanced at Ling Nan with disdain and said, "Are you even a man? You can't even last through one fight!"

Ling Nan didn't mind, pointing to his own cute face, "Do I look like a man to you?"

"..." Su Yunqing was speechless. "What about your dignity as a man?"

"Is that something you can eat?" Ling Nan spread his hands.

"...Then why are you even alive?"

Su Yunqing rolled her eyes and asked.

"I'm alive to eat!" Ling Nan said as if it were a matter of course.

Su Yunqing stopped talking, completely choked up.

"Practical combat, huh..." Zheng Li muttered to himself. He knew exactly what he was capable of; how could he possibly know anything about combat awareness or fighting techniques?

Be a mage?

His Martial Soul did allow for that.

Speaking of his Martial Soul...

Zheng Li looked at Ling Nan, "Gluttonous Cat, I haven't asked you yet, what's the deal with those wings of yours?"

A cat with wings?

Or a cat growing out from under wings?

Regardless, it was all quite normal; after all, this wasn't his original worldview.

"You mean the wings? My Martial Soul had them from the start."

"A Li, you might not know, but my Martial Soul is a mutated Martial Soul called the Black and White Winged Cat. If you really want to count it, it's already considered a high-level Martial Soul. After all, it could carry me in flight as soon as it awakened," Ling Nan introduced with a smile.

"But... it didn't give me a particularly powerful talent for cultivation. My cultivation talent isn't that great. Don't look at me like this, but I actually spend quite a lot of time cultivating my Spirit Power."

"My family's ancestral Martial Soul is the Black and White Raccoon Panda..."

"Wait." Su Yunqing interrupted Ling Nan, "You're from the Black and White Sect?"

"You know it?" Ling Nan was surprised; he didn't think his sect was that famous.

"I know it. I'm also from the Heaven Dou Empire, and my home is in Yudou City," Su Yunqing replied indifferently.

"Yudou City? Gluttonous Cat, where is that?"

"It's a city adjacent to the east of Mingdou City. My family's sect also has businesses in Yudou City."

Zheng Li nodded, "Mm, go on."

"A Li, do you know what type of Martial Soul the Black and White Raccoon Panda belongs to?" Ling Nan asked Zheng Li a question instead.

"Isn't it an agility-attack type?"

Su Yunqing shook her head and explained, "Yes and no. The body of a Black and White Raccoon Panda is extremely sturdy, and its strength is also incredibly powerful. You could say it can develop into either a power-attack or an agility-attack type."

Zheng Li nodded. He didn't know much about Martial Souls or Spirit Beasts; after all, he had only been exposed to the knowledge of the Douluo world for a few days.

"Su Yunqing is right. My father's direction of development is agility-attack. And my Martial Soul, after mutating, can only develop toward agility-attack; my strength and physical aspects aren't that formidable..."

"Do you know about the Tang Sect?"

As he spoke, Ling Nan suddenly asked a question.

"Yes," they replied in unison.

Zheng Li and the other person answered simultaneously.

"Then do you know about the Min Hall, one of the five halls of the Tang Sect?" Ling Nan asked again.

A complex look appeared in his eyes when he mentioned the Tang Sect.

"I don't," and "I do."

This time, there were two different voices; the latter was Zheng Li's.

Zheng Li actually had some impression of the five halls of the Tang Sect, though only the five halls that Tang San had just founded.

Ling Nan looked at Zheng Li with some surprise, as there were truly not many people who knew about this nowadays.

"The signature Martial Soul of the Tang Sect's Min Hall is the Sharp-Tailed Swift. Later, as the Tang Sect declined, the Min Hall naturally declined as well. My grandmother was someone from the Tang Sect who possessed the Sharp-Tailed Swift Martial Soul."

"My father said that the mutation of my Martial Soul and the growth of wings should be due to this Sharp-Tailed Swift bloodline."

"Actually, when I was very young, our clan still had some connections with the Tang Sect." Ling Nan's voice carried a hint of melancholy.

His family did not forbid marrying and having children with outsiders.

"So that means a Black and White Raccoon Panda plus a Sharp-Tailed Swift."

Zheng Li rubbed his chin. The Sharp-Tailed Swift... Ma Hongjun's wife, Bai Chenxiang, had this Martial Soul, and he had a deep impression of it.

Now that he thought about it, the wings did indeed look somewhat like those of a wild goose.
