Picking Up Zhang Lexuan by the Roadside

"Sure enough, Innate Full Soul Power. Not bad, not bad."

Du Busi nodded in satisfaction. "Xiao An, let me first explain the cultivation of Twin Martial Souls. Though Twin Martial Souls were rare throughout history, many peak powerhouses had still appeared. The most famous were Tang San and Bibi Dong, who fought in the War of Two Gods ten thousand years ago. Both possessed Twin Martial Souls."

"It was because of those two that the cultivation method for Twin Martial Souls was fully revealed to the world. You had to focus on one Martial Soul first and attach Soul Rings to it. After absorbing Soul Bones and consuming various treasures that could enhance your physique, once your body had been strengthened, you could then attach Soul Rings to the other Martial Soul."

"That way, the second Martial Soul could gain ten-thousand-year Soul Rings, or even ones beyond that level."

As he spoke, Du Busi considered his words briefly before saying, "Although both of your Body Martial Souls are top-tier Martial Souls, the Heart Martial Soul is undoubtedly more important. Therefore, I suggest that you focus first on cultivating the White Bone Martial Soul before attaching Soul Rings to the Heart Martial Soul."

Ye An listened quietly, nodding from time to time.

Du Busi's thoughts completely matched his own plans.

Although Du Busi had not received much attention in the original work, as the sect master of the Body Sect and the man who had nurtured a supreme genius like Long Aotian, his understanding of Body Martial Souls was undoubtedly among the greatest in the world.

Joining the Body Sect really had been the most correct decision!

"Our Body Sect has always been known as the most mysterious sect in the world. The main reason is the location of our sect grounds. The Body Sect lies in a natural chasm several hundred li from Heaven Dou City. Mountain fog lingers there year-round, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. Furthermore, Soul Masters with Body Martial Souls rarely travel the continent, so we appear extremely mysterious to outsiders."

"As long as we continue in this direction, we'll soon enter a mountain range..."

Du Busi's voice paused slightly, and a trace of uncertainty flashed through his eyes.

He could not help lifting the carriage curtain and looking outside.

A faint scent of blood hung in the air. Though it was very light, it could not escape Du Busi's senses.

"Teacher, over there..."

Following Ye An's voice, Du Busi looked toward the carriage curtain on the other side. In the wilderness not far away, he saw a figure—a young girl kneeling on the ground, radiating despair and the aura of death.

"Teacher, I want to go take a look."

"Oh?"

Du Busi raised an eyebrow, glancing at Ye An with a hint of interest in his eyes.

Before long, Ye An followed Du Busi to the girl.

She looked no more than eleven or twelve, yet she was already the makings of a peerless beauty, with delicate features and a well-proportioned figure. However, her exquisite face was covered in tear stains, and her amber-like eyes brimmed with despair and lifelessness.

Ye An had already guessed the girl's identity, though he could not be entirely certain.

"I sense a deathly aura around you, and there is also a trace of blood in the air. Did something happen?"

Du Busi stood with his hands behind his back, his brows slightly furrowed.

With his insight, he could naturally see that the girl had completely fallen into despair and had even developed a wish to die. But... what could have happened to make such a young girl wish for death?

Originally, Du Busi had only taken an interest because Ye An had asked, but now he was genuinely curious.

Hearing Du Busi's voice, the girl finally came back to her senses. A little light returned to her eyes, but her face remained full of sorrow. "They... they're all dead. Mother is dead... everyone in my family is dead... I'm the only one who survived."

A family massacre?

Du Busi frowned, while understanding flashed through Ye An's eyes.

This experience could only belong to Zhang Lexuan.

Zhang Lexuan had originally been a noble of the Heaven Dou Empire, but her family had been persecuted and exterminated by another noble family. Zhang Lexuan had been the only one to survive, hiding beneath a bed.

After surviving, Zhang Lexuan had wandered in a daze until she encountered Mu En.

Mu En helped her avenge her family. In exchange, Zhang Lexuan joined Shrek Academy, became Bei Bei's child bride, and eventually became the senior disciple of the Inner Court.

Who would have thought... he had stumbled across Zhang Lexuan by pure chance!

Ye An naturally knew how terrifying Zhang Lexuan's talent was.

A Soul Douluo in her twenties—setting the protagonist aside, that cultivation speed absolutely qualified her as a top-tier genius.

There was naturally no reason to let such a genius go to Shrek Academy.

Before Ye An could ask Du Busi to bring Zhang Lexuan back to the Body Sect, Du Busi frowned and said with slight hesitation, "Are you from the Wangyue Viscount Family? Moonwatch Viscount's family was wiped out?"

At this, Zhang Lexuan nodded, tears streaming down her face.

"Who committed this massacre?"

Zhang Lexuan raised her head slightly, and a glimmer of hope seemed to appear in her eyes. "It was... an earl in Heaven Dou City."

Du Busi immediately sneered. "I never expected that the moment I left Heaven Dou City, such a massacre would occur. Heh, they really have some nerve!"

"Just tell me who that earl is! I want to see who has such audacity that, knowing I was in Heaven Dou City, he still dared to do something like this!"

Zhang Lexuan's expression tightened slightly.

Without even having time to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, she knelt directly before Du Busi. "Senior! Please, avenge my family!"

Avenge your family?

Du Busi glanced at Zhang Lexuan kneeling before him, then at Ye An beside him, who seemed to have taken pity on her. A thoughtful look immediately appeared in his eyes.

"Release your Martial Soul first and let me see it. If I remember correctly, the inherited Martial Soul of the Wangyue Viscount Family should be the moon, right?"

The moment he finished speaking, Zhang Lexuan released her Martial Soul without the slightest hesitation.

In an instant, a silver full moon appeared above Zhang Lexuan's head. Mysterious silver radiance poured over her body, while a distinct shade of silver appeared in her black eyes.

As her Martial Soul emerged, two yellow Soul Rings slowly rose from beneath Zhang Lexuan's feet.

Du Busi nodded to himself. He stared at the Martial Soul behind Zhang Lexuan for a moment before suddenly asking, "How old are you this year?"

"Senior, my name is Zhang Lexuan. I am eleven years old, and my Soul Power Level is twenty-eight."

Twenty-eight at eleven?

Du Busi was slightly startled. He subconsciously asked, "You have twenty-eight levels of Soul Power at only eleven? How much Innate Soul Power did you have?"

Hearing this, Zhang Lexuan hesitated briefly, but she still answered softly, "I had Innate Full Soul Power."
