Zhuge Ming's eyes immediately lit up!
This feeling... it was the feeling of his soul power increasing!
Sure enough, his soul power level had risen from level 3 to level 6!
At the same time, his Records of the Three Kingdoms martial soul underwent another change!
But there were people all around, so it was inconvenient for him to summon his martial soul directly.
He immediately issued an order to Zhao Yun in his mind.
Having finished delivering the news, Zhao Yun immediately said to everyone:
"This general has said all he needs to say. From today onward, you are free people!
"You may enter and leave the village freely, but as I said, your village is currently only a trial site.
"If people from other villages learn of your village's situation, they will surely express their dissatisfaction to those above.
"When that happens, this general may revoke the current policies and make you follow the same rules as them!
"Also, from now on, you must live for yourselves, but that does not mean you may completely lie flat.
"If anyone is too lazy and displeases this general,
"This general will likewise revoke your village's privileges. Do you understand?"
"We understand!"
Everyone responded in unison.
Zhao Yun dismissed the crowd, and they headed home chatting and laughing.
Zhuge Ming also returned home with his mother and sister.
Zhou Xuan still looked utterly incredulous. "Do we really no longer need to work ourselves to the bone like before?
"We won't have to worry about other men coveting our bodies anymore?
"And Little Ming won't be forced onto the battlefield anymore?"
"That's right, Mother!"
Seeing his mother's smiling face, Zhuge Ming felt sincerely happy as well.
If he had not awakened the Records of the Three Kingdoms martial soul and happened to discover its marvelous use,
he would probably still be stuck in the predicament of being pushed onto the battlefield at any moment...
At that moment, Zhou Xuan suddenly burst into tears of joy and could not help looking up at the sky. "Brother Gui, did you see that? Our Little Ming won't have to go to war like you did anymore...
"This is truly... truly wonderful!
"If only you had held on for another year... just one more year... you wouldn't have had to die either..."
As she spoke, Zhou Xuan's tears fell ceaselessly like tiny pearls.
Zhuge Tong hurried forward and embraced her mother, wiping away her tears with reddened eyes.
Zhuge Ming also stepped forward and took his mother's hand.
The image of the man who had once carried the entire family on his shoulders surfaced in his mind.
A trace of sorrow rose in his heart as well.
Yet a brand-new goal also took shape within him!
Since Tang San could resurrect Da Ming and Er Ming after becoming a god, even though they had already become soul rings and soul bones,
did that mean he might also have a chance to resurrect his deceased father?
Though his father could not compare to two hundred-thousand-year soul beasts,
he could directly summon the martial souls of Title Douluo. That was not something Tang San's martial soul could rival.
Perhaps he really could find a way to revive his father and reunite the family in happiness...
Still, he did not promise his mother anything. After all, he had no absolute certainty.
He merely tightened his grip on her large, callused hand, letting her feel his care.
Fortunately, Zhou Xuan was far stronger than he had imagined.
She quickly composed herself, took her daughter's and son's hands, and revealed a sunny smile...
After returning home, Zhuge Ming immediately found an excuse to head to the outhouse in the backyard.
This left Zhuge Tong, who wanted to ask him some questions, with no choice but to sigh and sit by the back door to wait for him.
Once inside the toilet, Zhuge Ming immediately released his martial soul.
On the first page of his martial soul, the number of soul power soldiers had risen to 600!
The soldiers' level had risen to level 6, and the number of soldiers that could be revived each day had reached 60.
The amount of time Zhao Yun could fight each day had also increased to 60 minutes—one full hour!
Of course, that was no longer the most important thing.
Most importantly, new text had appeared on the second page of his martial soul!
He hurriedly flipped to the second page and saw the following written there:
[Guan Yu] [Level: 96] [Martial Soul: Green Dragon Crescent Blade] [Title: Martial Saint Douluo] [First Soul Skill: Rapid Slash] (Thousand-Year) [Second Soul Skill: Azure Dragon Ward] (Thousand-Year) [Third Soul Skill: Offer Your Head] (Ten-Thousand-Year) [Fourth Soul Skill: Single Rider for a Thousand Miles] (Ten-Thousand-Year) [Fifth Soul Skill: Righteousness Soars to the Heavens] (Ten-Thousand-Year) [Sixth Soul Skill: Scraping Bone to Cure Poison] (Ten-Thousand-Year) [Seventh Soul Skill: Martial Saint True Body] (Ten-Thousand-Year) [Eighth Soul Skill: Flooding the Seven Armies] (Hundred-Thousand-Year) [Ninth Soul Skill: Blade Drinks Azure Dragon Blood, Steed Tramples Treacherous Ghost Souls] (Hundred-Thousand-Year)
Seeing the name on the second page, Zhuge Ming's heart jolted violently!
It was actually Guan Yu, the Martial Saint whose might had shaken all of China?!
He had considered the possibility that this name might appear in his martial soul.
But he had never expected it to happen so soon!
Though he was thrilled beyond measure, he did not rush to summon him in the cramped toilet.
That would have been somewhat disrespectful to Guan Yu.
Still, he now had another super expert, one who, like Zhao Yun, could fight continuously for an hour.
The safety of him and his family had received even greater protection!
Moreover, he could have Guan Yu or Zhao Yun seize even more territory!
Zhuge Ming suppressed his excitement and walked out of the toilet.
Only to find his older sister staring at him with smiling peach-blossom eyes.
Zhuge Ming's heart skipped a beat.
But considering the strength he now possessed, he could reveal a few secrets to her.
Otherwise, knowing nothing, she would surely let her imagination run wild.
He immediately pulled his sister back into the front room, shut the door, and said to Zhou Xuan and Zhuge Tong, who stood before him:
"Mother, Sis, you must be wondering why I predicted Zhuge Yan's death, right?"
Zhou Xuan and Zhuge Tong nodded at the same time.
Zhuge Ming curled his lips into a smug smile. "Actually, it wasn't a prediction. I had General Zhao Yun kill him!"
"What?!"
Zhou Xuan immediately covered her mouth in shock.
Zhuge Tong had already suspected as much, but hearing her younger brother say it himself still left her in disbelief!
"So... your martial soul isn't a useless martial soul?"
"Of course not!"
Zhuge Ming raised his left hand with a smile and summoned the Records of the Three Kingdoms martial soul!
This was the first time he had displayed his martial soul before his family.
Zhou Xuan and Zhuge Tong both revealed astonished expressions as they looked at this peculiar martial soul, blue-covered and black-lettered!
At that moment, Zhuge Ming raised his right hand, and with a thought, a sphere of light formed from soul power appeared in his palm!
"This is... soul power?! You actually possess soul power?!"
Even though their village no longer needed to have its fate decided by whether one possessed soul power,
there was still an enormous difference between having soul power and not having it.
Zhuge Ming laughed brightly. "This is nothing. I have something even more shocking to show you!"
As he spoke, he withdrew his soul power and snapped his fingers!
The man who had just publicly announced Nanyang Village's liberation appeared before the mother and daughter!
