The Unkillable: Family, who understands? Went out for barbecue, found an ultimate heir!

Lin Rui felt a warmth spreading throughout his body as a force within him began to loosen. Meanwhile, Golden Body Douluo and Du Busi, who were awakening his martial soul, felt as if they were being drained dry; their soul power was being frantically absorbed by the six-year-old child before them.

"What on earth is this little guy's martial soul?" Du Busi couldn't help but exclaim. He had no choice but to activate his martial soul, instantly entering its second form. He transformed into a muscular powerhouse as nine dazzling soul rings rose from beneath his feet—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, red, red, red—and the formidable aura of a level 98 powerhouse erupted instantly.

He wanted to see just how much this kid could absorb.

Caught in the middle, Golden Body Douluo felt truly miserable.

The absorption stopped as quickly as it had begun. Du Busi noticed it immediately, withdrew his hand, and looked over with curiosity.

Golden Body Douluo also stood up at once; he felt as though he had been sucked dry by Lin Rui and was about to be burst apart by the Sect Master's soul power.

Ignoring Golden Body Douluo, Du Busi stepped forward, his gaze fixed on Lin Rui. A moment later, a look of shock and excitement appeared on his face. "Old Jin, come here."

Hearing the Sect Master's summons, Golden Body Douluo stopped adjusting his soul power and walked over immediately. Seeing the changes in Lin Rui, he wore the same expression as Du Busi. "Sect Master, did we just hit the jackpot?"

Smack!

Du Busi slapped him directly and retorted, "What jackpot? This is a blessing from the heavens for our Body Sect!"

He had assumed that the martial soul of a six-year-old like Lin Rui would be something like a Big Stomach—a stomach-type Body Martial Soul—but he never imagined that the kid's martial soul was his own body, just like his own. How could this not be his successor, the future Young Sect Master of the Body Sect?

Lin Rui soon woke up. Seeing the two men staring at him with such excitement, as if looking at some precious treasure, he felt goosebumps rise all over his skin and backed away. "You aren't going to eat me, are you?"

"Quick, quick, bring out the soul power tester." Du Busi immediately ordered Golden Body Douluo to hand over the crystal ball. After taking it, he stepped forward and said in a very gentle tone, "Come, little one, let's test your soul power."

"..." Lin Rui found Du Busi's tone truly unbearable.

He still reached out his hand, surprised that his martial soul was actually himself.

It made sense; having inherited the Authority of Life, his martial soul was naturally his own body—a Body Martial Soul with the attribute of life.

No wonder these two were so enthusiastic. With his talent, he was the perfect candidate for a future successor in the Body Sect.

The moment Lin Rui placed his hand on the crystal ball, his soul power instantly manifested within it.

"It really is Innate Full Soul Power." Du Busi didn't even dare to breathe, his eyes growing even more fervent as he looked at Lin Rui.

Who could understand this feeling!

He and Old Jin had just come to the forest to eat some barbecue and ended up picking up a top-tier successor. It was as if the ancestral graves of the Body Sect were smoking with good fortune; he was thrilled to the core.

"Hoo~" Du Busi exhaled, suppressing his immense excitement. He tossed the crystal ball aside and looked at Lin Rui as if he were his own child. "Little one, what is your name?"

"Lin Rui."

"A good name." Du Busi nodded, then asked, "Do you know what your martial soul is?"

"Myself."

"And what is its attribute?"

"Life attribute," Lin Rui replied.

"Life attribute." Upon hearing this, Du Busi and Golden Body Douluo exchanged a glance. If they weren't mistaken, it was that rare life attribute, right?

This attribute was as rare as spiritual power, perhaps even non-existent; the only person on the continent with such an existence was that individual in the Star Luo Empire.

No wonder this little guy could eat so much.

Golden Body Douluo looked at Du Busi. "Sect Master, he's a gem!"

Du Busi nodded and looked at Lin Rui. "Can I call you A-Rui?"

"Sure." Lin Rui nodded. He understood that he was going to join the Body Sect today, so he might as well; it was better than starving to death out there.

"Then, little one, do you know about the Body Sect?" Du Busi asked again. He was determined to bring Lin Rui back to the Body Sect today, even if he had to kidnap him—this was the future successor of the Body Sect!

"I don't," Lin Rui shook his head. "Is it a good place?"

Hearing this, Golden Body Douluo immediately stepped forward. "Good? Of course it's good, and your martial soul is perfectly suited for it."

"Do they provide food and housing?"

"Yes, of course! I'll go catch whatever you want to eat myself." For the sake of this future precious disciple, Du Busi was willing to go all out. When the time came for soul rings, he would lead the hunt himself.

He and Old Jin had been worrying about where the future successor of the Body Sect was, and now the heavens had sent one. If he didn't treat this little guy like an ancestor, he wouldn't be called Du Busi!

Hearing this, Lin Rui thought for a moment and replied, "Fine, I'll join."

Du Busi and Golden Body Douluo hadn't expected Lin Rui to agree so quickly. They were stunned for a moment before bursting into joyful laughter.

"Good, good, good." Du Busi gently patted Lin Rui on the shoulder, fearing he might break the little ancestor. "Let's go. We'll take you back to the sect first, and then we'll take you to hunt soul beasts."

"Okay." Lin Rui nodded. He felt a bit sleepy; he hadn't slept well these past few days, and with the recent exertion, he really needed to rest.

Noticing Lin Rui's condition, Du Busi immediately crouched down. "Little one, come, I'll carry you back to the sect."

Lin Rui didn't expect Du Busi to be so enthusiastic, so he didn't stand on ceremony. He leaned against Du Busi's back and fell into a peaceful sleep.

"Let's go, Old Jin." Sensing that Lin Rui had fallen asleep on his back, Du Busi called out to Golden Body Douluo and flew toward the Body Sect with Lin Rui in tow.

Today was truly a joyous day. He had gone out for barbecue and picked up a top-tier successor; it seemed the Body Sect no longer needed to remain in seclusion.

Within the Sea of Consciousness, the gazes of Lin Fan and the others suddenly locked onto that familiar figure.

Lin Rui's silhouette gradually became clear. Their tense nerves relaxed instantly, and even their breathing became a little lighter.

Lin Fan was the first to lose his composure. His tone carried a hint of teasing, though a smile he couldn't hide tugged at the corners of his mouth: "I really thought you were going to starve to death on the streets."

Lin Rui, having just steadied himself, did not take offense at these words. A glimmer of relief at having survived the ordeal shone in his eyes as he waved his hand with a smile, "To be honest, it was close. I almost couldn't hold on any longer."

"But heaven was on my side; I stumbled right into Poison Undying and the Golden Body Douluo!"

Lin Nuo's eyes lit up instantly. He leaned forward half a step, his tone brimming with curiosity, "And then what happened?"

Lin Rui stood up straight abruptly, hands on his hips, his laughter hearty and smug, "What else could happen? I became the heir to the Body Sect! I had already prepared myself for a hellish start, but who knew it would turn out to be such a top-tier beginning? It was truly a case of finding a new path through the dark!"
