Douluo: Jianmu Martial Soul, Am I an Abomination of Abundance?

Author: Puhuo de Feiying

Synopsis:

[Multiple Female Leads] [Torment Tang San]

Mu Ci, who had died suddenly while gaming, arrived in Douluo Continent. He had originally planned to cultivate while enjoying a sweet romance, but he never expected to nearly be killed by the Clear Sky Hammer right from the start. Filled with rage, he embarked on a path of hammering Tang San and destroying Clear Sky Sect. Yet later, he discovered that this Tang San seemed a little different.

"Abundant World Tree? I became an Abomination of Abundance?"

"Reborn God King Tang San? I thought he was just some little punk."

"Asura Demon Sword? Honestly, it wasn't much different from a toothpick to me."

Several decades later, an Undying Ambrosial Arbor towering into the heavens shot toward the sky. Mu Ci stood at its peak, gazing at the God Realm in the distant universe.

"The God Realm is the cancer of all worlds. It needs to be healed by Abundance."

Mu Ci, Clear Sky Sect Comes Knocking

Godwood City, Mu Mansion.

A man holding an enormous pitch-black hammer stood domineeringly in Mu Mansion's courtyard, his fierce gaze fixed on the family of four opposite him.

Eight spirit rings in the optimal configuration—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black—circled the hammer. The terrifying fluctuations of Soul Power displayed the might of a Spirit Douluo.

Mu Changsheng stood at the front. Also an eight-ringed Spirit Douluo, he resisted the pressure bearing down on everyone from across the courtyard.

Three-year-old Mu Ci was held in his mother Li Qin's arms, while his father Mu Sheng stood beside them.

The scene within Mu Mansion was utterly terrifying. The Soul Power of two top-tier Spirit Douluos collided, shattering the surrounding houses and masonry. Flowers, grass, and trees were sent flying everywhere. Low-level Spirit Masters would likely have fainted outright in such a situation.

Yet Mu Ci, sheltered in his mother's arms, was barely affected. Watching the scene before him, his ruby-like eyes were filled with confusion.

Unable to understand, he silently thought, What exactly is going on? The books never mentioned any conflict between Plant Academy's Mu Family and Clear Sky Sect. Was this just an accident?

Mu Ci had originally been a medical student who had just entered his sophomore year. During one vacation, he had suddenly blacked out while playing games and knew nothing after that.

His hazy consciousness seemed to have crossed endless void. He did not know how much time had passed before he opened his eyes and arrived in this world.

When Mu Ci had first arrived, his consciousness had been muddled, and he had not awakened the memories of his previous life.

However, as he grew older, the memories in his mind gradually revived. Relying on those fragmented recollections, he recognized exactly what world this was.

Douluo Continent.

The sight of people with rings hanging off their bodies made it impossible not to recognize it. This cultivation system was so distinctively stylized that one glance was enough to make it unforgettable.

Over the past three years, he had also learned his family's identity through what he saw and heard.

Plant Academy.

It was the minor advanced academy from the novel, full of beautiful women and mainly focused on plant-type Tool Martial Souls, completely countered by Ma Hongjun's Evil Fire Phoenix.

The Mu Family he had been born into was the family that had founded Plant Academy thousands of years ago. It was an academy family much like Skywater Academy's Shui Family, Godwind Academy's Feng Family, and Blazing Fire Academy's Huo Family.

They built the family's prestige and maintained its inheritance through teaching and educating others.

Violent winds surged as the two Spirit Douluos stared each other down.

The black-robed Spirit Douluo holding the black hammer glared viciously at Mu Changsheng and spoke.

"Old bastard Mu, a life for a life. Your people caused a disciple of my Clear Sky Sect to die in the jaws of a soul beast. You must pay the price today!"

Mu Changsheng sneered. Looking disdainfully at the burly middle-aged man opposite him, he began to stir his Soul Power and declared loudly, "Tang Gu, stop deceiving yourself. You simply refuse to accept that your own poor protection led to one of your disciples dying an unjust death."

"At the time, we were the closest to you in Star Dou Forest, so you set your sights on us."

"You make it sound so righteous, but you only want our Mu Family to take the blame so you can give your sect master an explanation."

Tang Gu's expression darkened, and the killing intent in his eyes became even more obvious as he stared fixedly at Mu Changsheng.

He truly did intend to make the Mu Family take the blame. While hunting soul beasts, he had wanted his disciple to temper himself, so he had let him face that ten-thousand-year soul beast alone.

He had thought that nothing could possibly go wrong with the power of the Clear Sky Hammer. Using a soul beast's life to temper a disciple—what a wonderful idea. But something had gone wrong. One moment of negligence had caused a promising Spirit Douluo to die in the jaws of a soul beast.

Everyone in Clear Sky Sect was blood-related. He could not explain himself to the sect master, nor could he explain himself to the child's parents.

So he could only come up with an excuse and make Mu Changsheng, who had been hunting soul beasts nearby at the time, take the blame. After all, they had been the closest.

Furthermore, the Mu Family had close ties with Spirit Hall. Surely that would be enough to satisfy the sect master.

However, despite hurrying the entire way, he had still failed to intercept Mu Changsheng before they entered Godwood City.

But he could not simply leave like this. He still had to put on a show. Even if he failed, at least he would have something to explain, would he not?

Still, Tang Gu was in an exceptionally bad mood. His eyes were filled with killing intent as he looked at Mu Changsheng, and he silently cursed, Fine, you know. But why did you have to transmit your voice through Soul Power? Now the entire city knows. Damn it!

Spirit Hall Main Hall must have received the news too. This old man's wife is the Red Cardinal of Godwood City's Spirit Hall Main Hall, and she is also a Spirit Douluo. I can't stay long. I'll leave after this fight.

Tang Gu immediately stopped concealing himself. His eyes turned bloodshot, his breath came like a bull's snorts, and he swung his vat-sized hammer straight at Mu Changsheng.

His Sixth Spirit Ring flashed, and the vat-sized hammer expanded in midair until it was as large as a small house.

"Sixth Soul Skill, Force Breaking Ten Thousand Armies!"

Seeing Tang Gu stop speaking and charge at him like a tyrannosaurus, Mu Changsheng also summoned eight spirit rings in the optimal configuration from beneath his feet. Two thousand-year spirit rings began to shine as an enormous Everlasting Tree appeared behind him.

At the same time, he transmitted his voice to the family of three behind him. "Mu Sheng, protect Li Qin and Mu Ci and head to the back courtyard. Get away from the battlefield. Your mother must have heard the voice I just transmitted. She will need some time to get here from the main hall. I'll hold him off first."

"Third Soul Skill, Tree of Resilience." "Fourth Soul Skill, Cage Barrier."

Countless steel-like roots rose from the ground, forming one net of trees after another.

Under the pitch-black gale of the Clear Sky Hammer, the tree nets exploded layer after layer.

But the trees formed from Soul Power were endless. As they shattered, more trees grew to replace them. With countless vines rushing forward one after another, the Clear Sky Hammer finally came to a halt.

At the same time, vines climbed up from beneath Tang Gu's feet. Like pythons coiling around his body, they restrained him in place while constantly crushing his flesh.

Noticing this, black light surged across Tang Gu's entire body. He tried to break through the blockade with his powerful Soul Power, but no matter how he struggled, layer upon layer of vines still covered him.

"Damn it, control-system Spirit Masters are so annoying. Clear Sky Avatar!"

Tang Gu's Seventh Spirit Ring blazed with black light as the core ability of a Spirit Master activated.

The countless vines wrapped around Tang Gu were torn apart by his immense Soul Power, breaking into countless fragments before turning into Soul Power and dissipating into the air.

Damn it, I can't delay any longer. His woman is about to return. I'll leave after this strike.

From the distant horizon, in the direction of Godwood City's Spirit Hall Main Hall, a crimson light illuminated the sky as it sped toward them.

Tang Gu cursed inwardly when he saw it.

There was not much time left, and Mu Changsheng happened to be a control-system Spirit Master. The offensive power of control-system Spirit Masters might not be the highest, but they were certainly the most troublesome.

In any case, he had done everything he needed to do. The sect master probably would not have anything to criticize him for now.

Since that was the case, he would force Mu Changsheng to return to defend his family, then leave the city directly. With only his woman, a single Spirit Douluo, she could not possibly stop him.

Once the matter became a foregone conclusion, Tang Gu did not believe this family would dare go to Clear Sky Sect to seek trouble.

"Eighth Soul Skill, Heaven-and-Earth Throw!"

Tang Gu's eighth spirit ring, black as ink, lit up as all the Soul Power in his body poured madly into the Clear Sky Hammer.

The Clear Sky Hammer, originally as large as a house, began shrinking rapidly instead. It spun at high speed in Tang Gu's palm, wrapped in blackish-purple lightning that struck fear into the heart.

Seeing this, Mu Changsheng did not dare let down his guard and activated his Martial Soul Avatar as well.

A giant tree supporting the heavens solidified behind Mu Changsheng. The hundred-meter Everlasting Tree released an azure radiance that illuminated the land for several kilometers.

At that moment, everyone in Godwood City could look up and see this sight.

As Mu Changsheng watched Tang Gu's aura rise to its peak, the spirit rings around his body flashed wildly as he unleashed multiple soul skills in tandem.

Countless vines grew from the earth once more, but this time they surged like waves, layer upon layer, crashing toward Tang Gu.

Tang Gu was not surprised by this. The Clear Sky Hammer in his hand had already shrunk to the size of his palm, its power condensed to the limit.

He leaped into the air. Layers of force surged around him, and his powerful Soul Power allowed Tang Gu to stand in the void as he directly hurled the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand.

Ling Yuan, A Race Against Death

But Tang Gu's strike was not aimed at Mu Changsheng.

Instead, it flew through the air, locking onto Mu Ci's family as they fled toward the back courtyard.

They were only a few hundred meters apart. To a Spirit Douluo-level expert, that was a distance he could target in the blink of an eye.

The pitch-black Clear Sky Hammer carried boundless force. In the air, it transformed into a black dragon and tore through the sky like a meteor.

Mu Changsheng's face twisted in fury when he saw this, his eyes nearly splitting open.

He had clearly never expected Tang Gu, a Clear Sky Sect Elder, to be so utterly shameless.

"Old bastard, you deserve to die!"

But Mu Changsheng, who was unleashing his soul skills with all his strength, found it difficult to support the rear in such a short time. He could only attack Tang Gu even more frantically, hoping to force his enemy to defend.

Tang Gu had no such intention. After launching that strike, he turned and fled toward the city outskirts without pausing for even a moment. He did not even look at the soul skills Mu Changsheng sent at him.

Mu Changsheng had intended to return and defend, but he suddenly received a voice transmission. His expression immediately changed, and he pursued Tang Gu with murderous intent.

The family of three fleeing toward the back courtyard also sensed the terrifying might of that attack.

The thick aura of death closed in. Spirit rings rose from Mu Sheng and Li Qin's bodies, each ring shining brightly.

One was a six-ringed Spirit Emperor, and the other a five-ringed Spirit King.

The six spirit rings around Mu Sheng lit up. His soul skills were identical to those of his father, Mu Changsheng, as layers upon layers of vines formed tree nets.

"Li Qin, take Mu Ci and go! I'll stop this attack."

Li Qin, holding Mu Ci, said nothing after hearing him. The enhancement-type soul skills among her five spirit rings all strengthened her body as she raced into the distance.

In truth, both of them knew that this was merely a futile effort. A full-powered strike from a Spirit Douluo's Eighth Soul Skill, with no one to block it, was enough to level the entire Mu Mansion.

But for the chance that their child might survive, they still desperately fought for that final sliver of hope.

In his mother's arms, Mu Ci stared fixedly at the incoming Clear Sky Hammer, his heart filled with bewilderment.

He could not accept that he was about to die before he had even properly seen this vibrant world.
