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

At this critical moment of life and death, a clear phoenix cry rang out.

Crimson-gold Soul Power enveloped the entire backyard, dyeing it into a fiery red world.

A breathtakingly beautiful figure appeared before the three of them, her graceful body swaying, pale red hair draped over her shoulders, and skin as fair as snow.

Even more shocking were the spirit rings circling her body—there were nine of them.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black!

A Title Douluo!

"His/Her Excellency Ling Yuan!"

Upon seeing her, Mu Sheng and Li Qin cried out in surprise, though they also let out long sighs of relief.

Spirit Kite Douluo nodded to them with her back turned, acknowledging them.

Her phoenix eyes fixed on the black dragon formed from the Clear Sky Hammer. She raised a jade-like hand and pressed it straight toward it.

Blazing Spirit Kite Possession!

Crimson-gold flames flared around her body. A pair of metallic wings spread behind her, clanging sharply.

Her second, third, and Fifth Soul Rings lit up. The three enhancement-type soul skills elevated Spirit Kite Douluo's aura to another level.

The Blazing Spirit Kite behind her became even more tangible, as though a true flaming phoenix had descended upon the world.

Boom!

The collision between the black dragon and the Spirit Kite produced an earth-shaking roar.

Other than that, there was no further disturbance.

Everyone and everything in the courtyard remained completely unharmed beneath Spirit Kite Douluo's powerful Soul Power protection.

Like a valkyrie, Spirit Kite Douluo looked at the black dragon beneath her jade-like hand. Her gaze sharpened as she pressed down fiercely.

Terrifyingly scorching Soul Power instantly covered the dragon's body, burning fiercely.

The massive body let out an unwilling wail before shattering at once, turning into countless specks of Soul Power that dispersed into the air.

Tang Gu, who was in the city, also suffered backlash from his soul skill. He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, and his aura plummeted by an entire level.

This made Mu Changsheng's attacks even harder for him to withstand, not to mention that Mu Changsheng's wife had long since caught up and was now attacking alongside him.

"Backlash from a soul skill! Changsheng, kill him!"

When Lin Ya saw Tang Gu suddenly cough up blood, she knew her niece's side was fine. She immediately shouted at Mu Changsheng.

Her Seventh Spirit Ring lit up at once, and she transformed directly into a massive Blazing Spirit Kite. A sky full of fire rain condensed around her and crashed down toward Tang Gu.

Mu Changsheng did not answer. His eyes brimmed with killing intent as the Endless Roots in his hand danced even more wildly.

He would not rest until he saw Tang Gu dead.

In the courtyard.

Seeing that they had finally survived this deadly calamity, Mu Sheng and his wife hurriedly carried Mu Ci forward to express their gratitude.

"Enough. We're family, so there's no need for such formalities."

Spirit Kite Douluo raised her jade-like hand, interrupting their words of thanks.

Looking at Mu Ci in Li Qin's arms, she reached out and pinched his tender little cheek. Smiling, she said, "So this is my little nephew? Come on, call me Great-Aunt."

"Great-Aunt!" Mu Ci's cheeks were pinched between her fingers as he widened his eyes and called out in a muffled voice.

Yet he was deeply shocked inside. He had never expected his family to be related to Spirit Hall's Spirit Kite Douluo.

"Great-Aunt? Then that means she's related through Grandma's side."

"I only knew that Grandma was the bishop of the Spirit Hall Main Hall in Godwood City. I never imagined she had been born into one of Spirit Hall's great families."

"Even without what happened today, the Clear Sky Sect still had to die!"

Thinking of the life-and-death crisis they had faced today, Mu Ci nearly failed to catch his breath. Boundless fury and hatred toward the Clear Sky Sect surged uncontrollably within him.

If Spirit Kite Douluo had not happened to be visiting her aunt in Godwood City, their family of three would likely have died on the spot today.

Just as Spirit Kite Douluo was teasing Mu Ci, a disturbance came from the front hall of Mu Mansion.

With a sweep of her spiritual power, Spirit Kite Douluo sensed that her aunt Lin Ya and uncle Mu Changsheng had entered the residence carrying a corpse.

"Come on. Auntie and Uncle are back. Let's go take a look."

After telling the others, she headed toward the front hall with them.

Inside the main hall.

Mu Changsheng sat cross-legged on the ground. Green Soul Power surged around his body as it frantically healed a sunken wound in his chest.

Lin Ya stood beside him, her eyes full of heartache, though she was not overly worried.

The injury looked rather terrifying. On an ordinary Spirit Douluo, it would have cost at least half his life. But for an Everlasting Tree Spirit Master with powerful vitality, it was only a little more serious than a minor injury. He would recover after resting for a while.

Hearing approaching footsteps, Lin Ya turned her head.

She saw Spirit Kite Douluo and her son's family of three.

She let out a long breath of relief and smiled at Spirit Kite Douluo. "Yan'er, we have you to thank for today. Without you, things might truly have turned out disastrously."

"Is Uncle alright?"

Lin Ya shook her head. "He's fine. Tang Gu's final counterattack injured him a little, but he'll be fine after resting for a month or two. What about you? You weren't injured by Tang Gu's full-force attack, were you?"

Spirit Kite Douluo, Lin Yan, shook her head. Looking at the corpse on the ground, she frowned slightly. "You killed the Clear Sky Sect man?"

Lin Ya looked at the corpse, her eyes filled with killing intent. "Your uncle and I went all out. Otherwise, we couldn't have swallowed this anger. Will this cause you any trouble over in Spirit City?"

Lin Yan shook her head casually. "It's nothing serious. Since the old sect master Tang Chen disappeared, the Clear Sky Sect has long since declined from its former glory."

"Besides, we were in the right today. I doubt the Clear Sky Sect would dare say much."

Then, recalling the recent changes at Pope Palace, Lin Yan let out a cold laugh.

"Besides, the Clear Sky Sect has been too busy dealing with its own problems lately. It has no energy to concern itself with this matter. Auntie, you can rest easy."

Lin Ya frowned in confusion. "Did something happen to the Clear Sky Sect recently? I haven't received any news here."

"I don't know the details either. I only know that Tang Hao, one of the Clear Sky Twin Stars, seemed to have fallen out with his father and left the mountain."

"And His Holiness the Pope has begun sending people to investigate Tang Hao's whereabouts. I don't know why."

Mu Ci listened to their conversation from the side, but thought to himself, You don't know, but I do!

Yet he sat in his mother's arms, unable to say a single word. He could only sigh inwardly that the era was about to arrive.

Martial Soul Awakening

Over the next two months.

To prevent anything unexpected from happening to her aunt's family, Lin Yan stayed directly at Mu Mansion instead of returning to Spirit City.

After all, everyone in Godwood City had witnessed the battle two months ago. The Clear Sky Sect would learn of it as soon as it investigated, and there was no guarantee it would not send people to attack the Mu Family.

Aside from its own sect, the Clear Sky Sect also had the Four Affiliated Clans at its disposal. Their strength was considerable, so they had to remain vigilant.

Normally, Title Douluo-level elders had few duties besides cultivation. Thus, Lin Yan treated her days at the Mu Family as a vacation.

She often teased her little nephew, and Lin Yan had been in an excellent mood these days.

That lasted until a message arrived from Spirit City, ordering all elders and bishops to head there. Only then did the Mu Family become busy.

The aunt and niece received the summons and went to Spirit City together.

More than ten days later, Lin Ya returned from Spirit City with earth-shattering news.

Tang Hao, one of the Clear Sky Sect's Clear Sky Twin Stars, had a wife who was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. His Holiness the Pope discovered her and led people to capture her.

However, when the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was surrounded, she realized she could not escape being killed. She directly chose to sacrifice herself to Tang Hao. Tang Hao used the Soul Power from the sacrifice to break through to nine rings on the spot, then used the Clear Sky Sect's secret technique, Ring Detonation, to break through the encirclement and severely wound Pope Qian Xunji.

Several days later, Qian Xunji died in Spirit City from his severe injuries, and his disciple Bibi Dong succeeded him as Pope.

Under Pope Bibi Dong's leadership, and in the name of avenging her master, Spirit Hall forced the Clear Sky Sect to seal its mountain and close its sect. The Four Affiliated Clans scattered, while Tang Hao's father, the current sect master, suffered a relapse of an old illness and died after rage caused his blood and energy to surge.

Thus, a new era began!

Three years later.

Heaven Dou Empire, Luolin Province, Godwood City.

Within a large estate spanning dozens of acres, a boy about six years old was undergoing physical training on the practice grounds.

The boy had white hair, red eyes, and healthy wheat-colored skin. Beneath the blazing sun, beads of sweat glimmered like rain.

"Four hundred ninety-eight, four hundred ninety-nine, five hundred!"

Mu Ci silently counted his training sets. Since that day three years ago, he had begun systematically training his body.

The wheels of the era had begun to turn. He could not afford to relax in the slightest.

Qian Xunji's death represented an unprecedented upheaval on Douluo Continent. The future God King Tang, who would possess both the Sea God and Asura God, had been born. Bibi Dong, the future Rakshasa Empress who appeared normal but was truly insane, had ascended to power. She would lead the Angel Family's Spirit Hall, which had been passed down for over ten thousand years, into its grave.

Whether he wanted to avenge that hammer blow from the Clear Sky Sect in the future, participate in that divine war, or ensure his family's safety, all of it required sufficient strength.

There were far more Deity inheritances on Douluo Continent than the few known to the public. If the Shrek Seven Devils could become gods, then so could he.

"Young Master, the old madam sent me to notify you. It is time to go to the main hall for your martial soul awakening." A maid hurried over and spoke to the boy on the practice grounds.

"Understood. I'll be there shortly." Mu Ci had just finished his training quota for the day and was heading toward his room.

Hearing this, he nodded and said to the maid who had come over, "I'm going to bathe and change clothes. Go back first and tell Grandma."

"Yes." After receiving his answer, the maid respectfully bowed and quickly headed back toward the main hall.

A quarter of an hour later.

After washing up, Mu Ci arrived at the hall for the martial soul awakening. Seeing his waiting family members, he respectfully bowed. "Grandfather, Grandmother, Father, Mother, I'm late."

His grandfather Mu Changsheng and grandmother Lin Ya sat at the head of the hall, looking kindly at their beloved eldest grandson. His father Mu Sheng stood nearby, while his mother Li Qin walked over to Mu Ci and fussed over him worriedly.

"You little rascal, you exhaust yourself like this every day and never even think to rest." Li Qin looked at her son with a heartbroken expression and rubbed his head.
