Zhao Yun, a humble general, pays respects to my lord!

Zhuge Ming immediately sensed that his martial soul had suddenly undergone a change.

He hurriedly looked at the Records of the Three Kingdoms martial soul in his hand.

A string of golden words rapidly appeared on what had originally been a blank first page:

[Zhao Yun]

[Level: 96]

[Martial Soul: Dragon-Gallbladder Silver Spear]

[Title: Cloud Dragon Douluo]

[First Soul Skill: Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix] (Thousand-Year)

[Second Soul Skill: Night-Illuminated Jade Qilin] (Thousand-Year)

[Third Soul Skill: A Body Full of Courage] (Ten-Thousand-Year)

[Fourth Soul Skill: Spear Strikes Like a Dragon] (Ten-Thousand-Year)

[Fifth Soul Skill: Seven Advances, Seven Retreats] (Ten-Thousand-Year)

[Sixth Soul Skill: Severing the River and Stopping the Current] (Ten-Thousand-Year)

[Seventh Soul Skill: Dragon Soul True Body] (Ten-Thousand-Year)

[Current Soul Power Soldiers: 100]

[Soul Power Soldier Level: 1]

[For every 1 level of soul power gained, 100 soul power soldiers can be obtained, and the soldiers' levels will rise accordingly.]

[Number of fallen soldiers that can be revived each day: Soul power level × 10.]

[Each time a certain amount of territory is occupied, soul power level can be increased according to the size of the territory and its population!]

...

This was what was written on the first page of the Records of the Three Kingdoms martial soul.

The moment he saw the name Zhao Yun, Zhuge Ming became excited!

As the most perfect military general of the Three Kingdoms era, Zhao Yun was undoubtedly one of the favorite figures of countless Three Kingdoms fans!

But why had his name suddenly appeared on Zhuge Ming's martial soul?

And he was even a level 96 Super Douluo!

With such strength, he could basically walk sideways across the continent, right?

Could it be that he could summon Zhao Zilong of Changshan to serve him?!

The moment that thought surfaced, his martial soul suddenly shone with golden light!

The two words "Zhao Yun" on the Records of the Three Kingdoms martial soul flew straight out of the pages, merged into a sphere of light, and landed directly before him!

The ball of light swiftly grew larger, transforming into a burly figure kneeling on one knee. The man cupped his fists toward him in salute.

"Your humble general Zhao Yun pays respects to my lord!"

Zhuge Ming's entire body began to tremble uncontrollably as he looked at the man who had suddenly appeared!

Not from fear, but from excitement!

He knew it!!

His martial soul was definitely not a useless martial soul!

He had never expected it to be able to summon famous generals from the Three Kingdoms to serve him!

And this famous general was even a super expert with the strength of a Titled Douluo!

With this super thug at his side, his fate of becoming cannon fodder could finally be changed!

Zhuge Ming suppressed the excitement in his heart and hurriedly helped Zhao Yun up as he studied him.

The man was extremely tall, broad-shouldered and narrow-waisted, standing proudly like a solitary pine.

His black hair was not bound beneath a crown, but merely tied into a high ponytail behind his head with a strip of green cloth.

Several loose strands hung over his forehead, revealing a full brow and sword-like eyebrows.

Though the sharp edges of his brows were like blades, the corners of his eyes drooped slightly, lending him an unexpectedly gentle, jade-like air.

Looking at this heroic and fierce general dressed in casual clothes, Zhuge Ming's heart surged with passion!

His voice trembled faintly as he asked,

"Are you really... Zhao Zilong of Changshan?!"

Zhao Yun gave Zhuge Ming a warm smile.

"In answer to my lord, genuine in every respect!"

Zhao Yun then clenched his fist, sensing the unfamiliar power within his body, and could not help sighing.

"However, this extraordinary power is something I have encountered for the first time... I will need some time to adapt to it."

Zhuge Ming was finally certain that the man before him was not only the renowned Zhao Zilong of Changshan, but had also become a powerful Titled Douluo in Douluo Continent!

At that moment, his heart was already filled with wild joy!

However, his older sister Zhuge Tong's voice suddenly came from outside.

"Xiao Ming, was there some commotion in your room just now? Are you all right?"

Zhuge Ming had originally wanted to tell his sister the truth.

But on second thought, he had yet to figure out everything about Zhao Yun and his martial soul.

He still did not know how long Zhao Yun could fight for him.

It would not be too late to tell them once he had figured everything out.

Otherwise, if they became too excited and let something slip, it might bring trouble upon them.

He immediately replied through the door,

"Oh, it's nothing. I just flung one of my shoes away while taking them off.

"Big Sis, I'm going to sleep for a while. Remember to call me when the food is ready."

"All right. It's good that you're fine."

Zhuge Tong's footsteps gradually faded away.

Zhuge Ming let out a slight sigh of relief.

It seemed that this sister, who was ten years older than him, had been worried that he was grieving alone in his room.

Zhuge Ming could not help smiling.

If she knew the truth, she would probably be frightened by his ability, wouldn't she?

Zhuge Ming looked at Zhao Yun again and asked in a low voice,

"If I'm not mistaken, there should be some restrictions on you, right?

"How long can you fight for me at present?"

Zhao Yun had come from his martial soul, so the energy he consumed should be closely related to Zhuge Ming, his "lord."

With his current level 1 soul power, he might not be able to support Zhao Yun in prolonged high-intensity combat.

Just as he had expected, Zhao Yun answered directly.

"If I do not fight, I can remain present indefinitely.

"Once battle begins, however, I can currently only last ten minutes per day.

"Of course, as my lord's soul power level rises, that time will grow longer and longer.

"Every increase of 1 level extends it by ten minutes!"

Only ten minutes...

Wasn't that far too short-lived?

Zhuge Ming could not help complaining inwardly.

Still, for a level 96 Super Douluo to fight for ten minutes, unless he encountered an enemy of the same level or higher,

it would generally be more than enough to handle any situation.

The only concern was running into top-tier Titled Douluo such as Tang Hao, Qian Daoliu, or Bibi Dong.

As he learned more about Zhao Yun's abilities and limitations, he gradually calmed down.

Relying on Zhao Yun alone could change his current fate, but it was still impossible for him to sweep across the entire continent.

Especially that hypocritical bastard Tang San.

Even if Zhuge Ming did not go looking for trouble with him, once Tang San became strong enough, he might still come looking for trouble with Zhuge Ming.

He had to keep raising his soul power level, ensuring that he and his family could survive in absolute safety no matter what they encountered!

Therefore, increasing his soul power level was something he had to do now!

Not only would it increase the length of time Zhao Yun could fight, it would also allow him to summon more famous Three Kingdoms generals and soul power soldiers!

The more helpers he had, the safer he would feel!

And according to the Records of the Three Kingdoms martial soul,

his method of increasing his soul power level was not cultivation, but occupying territory!

That was also why his soul power level had suddenly risen to level 1 after he returned to the room that belonged exclusively to him.

But from then on, he would have to occupy larger territory in order to continue raising his soul power level.

Zhuge Ming glanced around the crude room, then looked toward the wooden door leading outside.

Just occupying this room had raised him by one level.

What if he occupied the entire house?

Although this house was his home, the one who truly occupied it should probably be his mother?

After all, after his father had died on the battlefield, it was his mother who had held the family together.

As the new head of the household, she was naturally the ruler of this home as well.

After thinking it over, Zhuge Ming chose to give up on the idea.

This was his home, after all. How could he compete with his own mother for ownership of the house?

It would be better to have Zhao Yun directly occupy the entire village. That way, he could skip this step and obtain even more territory right away!

Just as Zhuge Ming was making this plan, a man's voice he loathed suddenly sounded from outside.

"Tong'er! I heard your younger brother awakened a useless martial soul?

"Then according to the rules, either you or your mother must marry me!"
