Douluo Continent.

Shrek City, outer district.

Inside a small villa.

"Sigh, I haven't even awakened my Martial Soul yet. How could you already be gone?"

A small child sat on the floor, holding a framed photograph as he muttered blankly to himself.

Being able to own a small villa in Shrek City, where every inch of land was worth a fortune, showed that the child's family had been well-off. Yet something had apparently happened. Overnight, Xu Yuan had lost far too much from his once harmonious and happy family.

Xu Yuan looked at the photograph in his hands, at the young couple in the frame, and his vision gradually blurred.

He had been transported into this world and had lived under the couple's care for five years. He had thought that, with something akin to an omniscient perspective, he would remain cold-hearted through it all.

But at this moment, Xu Yuan had to admit that he had completely immersed himself in these feelings.

Humans were not plants or trees; who could be without emotions? He could cry his eyes out just reading novels, let alone personally experiencing all of this for real.

Noisy voices came from outside.

Soon, more than a dozen Soul Masters emanating powerful Soul Power fluctuations stormed into the house, their attention fixed on Xu Yuan sitting on the floor.

"Xu Zhi fled with important research materials and has already been apprehended. Kid, the Spirit Pagoda is taking back this house as well. Pack your things and leave at once."

Sitting on the floor, Xu Yuan's tiny figure looked helpless.

"My father was the deputy director of the Spirit Pagoda research institute. He wasn't stupid. How could he possibly flee?"

"The Pagoda Master personally gave the order. Kid, are you questioning the Pagoda Master?"

Xu Yuan did not continue to "talk back."

The Spirit Pagoda's Pagoda Master was no good person.

He could not make a scene right under the man's nose.

First, he needed to find a way to stay alive. If he had the chance in the future, then he could investigate the truth.

Xu Yuan was very rational. He knew that in this seemingly peaceful and orderly world, the strong still reigned supreme. So-called Order was made by the strong.

A crimson figure rapidly approached from the horizon and landed outside the door in the blink of an eye.

The dozen or so Soul Masters all stepped back, clearing a path for him.

He was a middle-aged man who exuded an air of authority. When he looked at Xu Yuan, there was a hint of pity in his gaze.

"I don't know what Xu Zhi did, but Xiao Yuan is only five years old. He's just a child. He knows nothing." Xu Shengqun spoke in a tone that allowed no doubt.

The leader of the Soul Masters respectfully bowed and said, "Lord Spirit Transfer Envoy Xu, the Pagoda Master is not an unreasonable man. Xu Zhi has already been executed, and we will not keep pursuing a child like this. However, we must reclaim this villa, along with any materials that may be here. After all, Xu Zhi was previously the deputy director of the research institute, and much of the information he possessed may have been stored at home."

Xu Shengqun frowned and impatiently waved his hand.

He turned to Xu Yuan, his gaze softening. With a sigh, he stepped forward and crouched beside him.

"Xiao Yuan, let's go."

Xu Yuan said nothing and followed Xu Shengqun out.

"I don't know what your father did to offend them, but they silenced him directly. Even I couldn't react in time. Don't worry. I'll demand an explanation from Qian Gu Dongfeng." Xu Shengqun spoke as they walked, and by the end, his voice was filled with anger.

Xu Yuan did not say anything on his own.

He simply listened as Xu Shengqun vented his anger.

However, he did not gain any useful information.

Clearly, Xu Shengqun truly did not know much about the inside story.

Three days later.

Xu Shengqun returned home in a fury.

"Xiao Yuan, let's go. We're not putting up with this nonsense in Shrek City anymore. Come back to Skysea City with me!"

As a Spirit Transfer Envoy, Xu Shengqun was stationed in Skysea City. He was considered an Overlord there. After bottling up his anger for several days, he no longer intended to waste words with Qian Gu Dongfeng and prepared to return to his own territory to live freely.

As for Xu Zhi's matter, it could only be investigated slowly.

A year later.

Skysea City Spirit Pagoda.

"Xiao Yuan, today your uncle will personally awaken your Martial Soul."

Xu Yuan nodded. Rather than being as lively as an ordinary child, he appeared remarkably steady.

Although Xu Yuan did not show any excitement at the moment, the anticipation in his eyes was impossible to conceal. Xu Shengqun could feel how seriously he took this Martial Soul awakening.

This was, after all, a world where strength was revered. Without strength, one did not even have the right to speak.

Even as the deputy director of a research institute, hadn't Xu Zhi been killed on the spot without even a chance to defend himself because his own strength was too weak?

Someone who had seemingly already attained such a high status had still died so inexplicably, so—insignificantly.

He had even died too quickly, so quickly that Xu Shengqun had no way to investigate or appeal.

Thinking of Xu Zhi and his wife's Martial Souls.

Xu Shengqun knew his own family's circumstances well. The Xu Family was not some great clan and possessed no bloodline of powerful Martial Souls. His own Martial Soul had mutated, but even so, if Xu Zhi—a researcher deeply involved in Soul Spirit studies—had not mapped out his Martial Soul's development path, provided information on the best Soul Spirits, and steadily reinforced his Martial Soul's mutation, he would not be where he was today.

Xu Shengqun and Xu Zhi were brothers, though only cousins. One had taken the research path while the other had pursued cultivation. They had joined the Spirit Pagoda together and supported one another, each eventually achieving something.

Their blood relation was somewhat distant, but after supporting each other for so many years, they had become very close.

Xu Shengqun had no children of his own, which was why he cared for Xu Yuan so much. After Xu Zhi and his wife died, he had treated Xu Yuan as his own son.

The Xu Family's Martial Souls.

It would already be good enough if one awakened Soul Power.

Xu Shengqun did not want to discourage Xu Yuan further.

He released his Soul Power.

Gentle white light flowed from him into the Soul Guidance Array in the Awakening Room. Brilliant patterns immediately lit up throughout the room.

"Carefully sense the changes in your body. If you feel anything unusual, don't suppress it. Guide it out."

Xu Yuan closed his eyes and sensed the changes within his body.

First, there was—

My brain seems to be changing. Could it be a brain Body Martial Soul? Xu Yuan's heart stirred, and he felt a glimmer of light in his future.

The hatred of one's parents was irreconcilable. Even if he was a soul from another world, he could not completely ignore the kindness of five years of parental care. It was not that he had to fight Qian Gu Dongfeng to the death or insist on revenge, but if revenge was possible, who would give it up?

And the prerequisite for all of that was a powerful Martial Soul!

Spirit Guidance Technology on Douluo Star was developing rapidly. Even those who were not Soul Masters could wield tremendous power, but that power did not truly belong to them. Moreover, if ordinary people could wield such power, what would happen if it were combined with research and integrated into the bodies of already powerful Soul Masters?

They would only become stronger!

Thus, times had changed, but in the end, the group that held power was still the same.

Xu Yuan sensed the changes in his own brain and could almost confirm that his brain was his Martial Soul.

However, there was another unusual movement within his body.

He stretched out his right hand, and faint golden light flickered around it. The light was not dazzling, but it was exceptionally dense, enveloping half of Xu Yuan's body. After a long while, the light faded, and a black-and-white brush appeared in his hand.

This was his mother's Martial Soul.

The brush had no particularly remarkable features. It seemed to be an ordinary writing brush, only appearing somewhat different when enhanced by Soul Power.

That was right. Xu Yuan could be certain that he had awakened Soul Power.

When Xu Shengqun saw the dense pale-golden light that had appeared during Xu Yuan's awakening, he sighed in relief. At the very least, it confirmed that Xu Yuan possessed Innate Soul Power and could cultivate.

However, when he clearly saw the brush in Xu Yuan's hand, his gaze dimmed somewhat.

This was Xu Yuan's mother's Martial Soul. Xu Yuan's mother had not lacked Soul Power, but she had possessed only level two Innate Soul Power. There had been nothing miraculous about this brush Martial Soul either.

The brush in Xu Yuan's hand looked identical to his mother's Martial Soul, as though it had been cast from the same mold.

It seemed to be nothing more than an utterly ordinary writing brush.
