Overview

(The Mo Family all had white hair.)

Afterward, Mo Lin first familiarized himself with his elders. In his father's generation, the Mo Family had five siblings in total.

The eldest, Mo Wen, was the current family head, fifty years old and a rank ninety-three Title Douluo.

The second, Mo Wu, was fifty years old and a rank ninety-four Title Douluo.

The third, Mo Yun, was forty-two years old and a rank eighty-nine Soul Douluo. She was the only woman of her generation in the Mo Family and had now married the head of another family on the island.

The fifth, Mo Jia, was the one who had stepped forward to persuade Mo Wen when he had tightly held onto Mo Lin yesterday. He was also the strongest and most talented of his generation in the Mo Family, as well as the only one who still did not have a family of his own. He was thirty-eight years old and a rank ninety-five Title Douluo.

Mo Wen, Mo Wu, and Mo Di were Mo Teng's sons, while Mo Yun and Mo Jia were born to Mo Teng's brother. Of the older generation, only Mo Teng was still alive.

After getting a basic understanding of his elders, Mo Lin was taken by Mo Wen to meet those of his own generation.

At a training ground, two young people around twenty—a man and a woman—were sparring, with quite a few people watching nearby.

Both young people's martial souls were Non-Aggression, except the man's was in sword form while the woman's was in spear form.

"Fifth Soul Skill, Scorching Flame Slash!"

"Fifth Soul Skill, Violent Thunder Spear!"

Lightning and flames collided, immediately causing an explosion. The two leaped out of the smoke together.

"You two, come over when you've had enough." Mo Wen called out to them.

When the two young people saw that it was Mo Wen calling them, they hurried over.

"Father."

"Uncle."

Mo Wen pushed Mo Lin forward.

"He is your Fourth Uncle's son, Mo Lin. Mo Lin, this is my son, Mo Ning, and this is your Second Uncle's daughter, Mo Min. Get acquainted."

Mo Lin smiled and greeted them first.

"Hello, Big Brother. Hello, Second Sister."

Mo Ning and Mo Min's faces were filled with curiosity. Mo Di had left the island when they were only four or five years old, so they did not know much about him. Now, before they had even met Mo Di, they had met his son instead.

"You're Fourth Uncle's son!? Then Fourth Uncle..."

"Ahem—" Mo Wen coughed.

Mo Ning and Mo Min instantly understood. Something had happened to Mo Di. They were both shocked and surprised, and Mo Ning quickly apologized.

"I'm sorry, Third Brother."

Mo Lin kept smiling.

"It's fine. You didn't know, after all."

Mo Wen said, "Mo Lin, just ask them if there's anything you want to know. You young people should have more in common."

Mo Lin looked at the brother and sister he had suddenly gained.

"Big Brother, Second Sister, I just returned to the island. Could you introduce me to the situation here?"

Mo Min said, "Of course..."

Through their explanation, Mo Lin learned that this island was called Soul Beast Island. When the Mo Family's ancestors had first discovered this enormous island, they found that the density of soul beasts here was terrifying. After exploring it, they discovered that there were actually more than five soul beasts over a hundred thousand years old. However, those soul beasts did not get along with one another and could not be bothered to pay attention to the Mo Family or the people who had come with them. As long as no one intruded into their respective territories, there was basically no trouble. Moreover, over the past several hundred years, the Mo Family had reached agreements with two of those hundred-thousand-year soul beasts. If a new hundred-thousand-year soul beast appeared, or if an existing one tried to seize those two soul beasts' territories, the Mo Family would deal with it. That was how the Mo Family had been able to live in such a dangerous environment for five hundred years.

Besides the Mo Family, there were two other major families: the Zhou Family and the Fu Family. Their aunt, Mo Yun, had married the current head of the Zhou Family.

The Zhou Family's martial soul was the Bagua Disk, an auxiliary tool martial soul. The Fu Family's martial soul was the Savage Saber-Toothed Tiger, a beast martial soul. However, the strongest members of both families were only Soul Douluos.

The rest were scattered individuals.

There were currently four Title Douluos and five Soul Douluos on the entire island. In terms of top-tier combat strength, it could be considered the strongest force aside from Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect.

However, what Mo Lin cared about most was whether the island had any means of sending information to the outside world. He had long planned to stay on the island for some time after finding it, and judging from the current situation, Soul Beast Island was extremely suitable for cultivation. Without protagonist luck or any other cheats, his little uncle had reached rank ninety-five at thirty-eight, while his two older siblings had reached rank fifty-eight at just twenty. They had achieved this despite living in seclusion all along, without many enemies to pressure them. It could not possibly be due to talent alone. On this island, the circulation speed of soul power was likely faster than on the Douluo Continent. In addition, soul beasts could be hunted right beside their residence.

Thus, Mo Lin, who had originally planned to stay for around three months, decided to extend his stay a little longer.

But Mo Lin did not want Bibi Dong, his master, or Hu Liena to worry about him. So, after asking his brother and sister and receiving the answer, "No idea," he went to ask other people on the island. In the end, the only way seemed to be for him to return and tell them himself.

However, perhaps because Bibi Dong had been too lenient with Mo Lin a few years ago, she had spent the past two years trying every possible way to keep him in the Papal Palace. Mo Lin had only been able to leave this time because Bibi Dong had used every possible method to "deduct" a total of six months of leave from the past two years. She had only agreed because she felt she could no longer keep up appearances.

So Mo Lin estimated that if he went back, he definitely would not be able to leave again until the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament more than two years later.

For a time, Mo Lin could not think of any solution. He could only sit alone by the shore, pondering a way forward.

"You've only just returned, and you're already so troubled!"

Mo Lin turned around. It was his little uncle, Mo Jia.

"Hello, Little Uncle."

Mo Jia walked over and ruffled Mo Lin's hair.

"You brat, are you thinking about matters on the other side? If you need any help, just tell me."

"Uncle, don't joke around. You're a titled Douluo, busy with countless affairs every day. How could I trouble you with my matters?"

After Mo Lin finished speaking, silence hung between the two of them for a while.

"Xiao Lin, back then, your father—my fourth brother—once invited me to travel with him," Mo Jia suddenly began talking about his past with Mo Di. "I wanted to see what the outside world was like too. But at the time, I thought it would be safer to set out and travel only after gaining enough strength, so I didn't go with him. I tried to persuade Fourth Brother the same way, but unfortunately, he didn't listen. He even said that once he had traveled around, he would come back and ask me to go out with him."

Mo Lin looked at his uncle, Mo Jia. From his expression, it was clear that he and Mo Lin's father had truly been very close.

Mo Jia continued.

"When you brought back news of his death yesterday, it was the first time I had ever regretted something and felt powerless. So, if you really need anything, come find me anytime. I'll help you resolve it."

Mo Jia stood up and was just about to leave.

"Uncle, you said just now that any favor was fine, right?" Mo Lin asked.

Mo Jia turned his head.

"That's right. Any favor."

Mo Lin smiled.

"Then I'll be~ troubling~ you~."
