"Hello."
After Meng Hongchen saw that Morax matched the photograph in the Diary exactly, she knew she had found the right person. Morax was the one she had been looking for.
Then Meng Hongchen looked at Paimon beside him. According to the Diary, she was a Martial Soul created by Morax, but calling a little girl a Martial Soul was honestly rather hard to accept.
Martial Souls were generally divided into tool Martial Souls, beast Martial Souls, body Martial Souls, elemental Martial Souls, and so on. Yet Morax had somehow created a Martial Soul, and it was a little girl who looked just like a real person. That was simply too difficult to accept.
If it were a God Level Martial Soul, it would be easier to understand.
After all, God Level Martial Souls had indeed existed in the history of the Douluo Continent, such as the Angel Martial Soul and the Sea God Martial Soul. According to the records of the Douluo Continent, there had been two Ultimate Douluos ten thousand years ago: Sea God Douluo Bo Saixi and Angel Douluo Qian Daoliu.
Legend had it that these two Ultimate Douluos from ten thousand years ago, one had been a human blessed by the Sea God, while the other had been a descendant of the Angel God—a descendant of a god.
Their Martial Souls were gods!
But according to Morax's Diary, Paimon was also a Martial Soul. Even the Martial Souls of those two Ultimate Douluos merely represented those two gods; they could not speak like Paimon.
No matter how Meng Hongchen looked at her, Paimon looked like a person. Calling her a Martial Soul was simply absurd!
"May I ask who you two are?"
Seeing Meng Hongchen, his younger sister, like this, Xiao Hongchen understood that she had found the person she was looking for. But why was she looking for this handsome man before them? He had no idea. The man was indeed good-looking, handsome, and well-dressed, but what was her purpose in seeking him out? That was what Xiao Hongchen wanted to know.
"My name is Morax D. China. I am merely a traveler."
Morax explained himself. After all, he had neither a house nor an identity in this world, though this fantasy world had no identity documents.
Still, someone like Morax, with no family, no friends, no identification, and no money... calling him a vagrant would not have been an exaggeration.
However, Morax was different from a vagrant. He had Martial Souls, strength, and the power of a First-Class God—power comparable to a God King.
Even if the entire God Realm attacked Morax together, his powerful Godslaying ability, combined with Douluo Star's enhancement while he remained on Douluo Star, gave him confidence that he could kill every god.
Moreover, his martial arts were exceptionally powerful. His martial arts ability was on par with the true Morax, Rex Lapis.
So he could be said to possess a treasure. The problem was that he did not know how to unlock it.
Morax D. China?
Hearing that name, Xiao Hongchen found it somewhat strange. Neither the Sun Moon Empire nor the Douluo Continent seemed to have names like that.
"Hello, my name is Paimon. I am this guy's Martial Soul."
"Hello, Paimon... Wait, did you say you are this person's Martial Soul?!"
Xiao Hongchen stared at Paimon. No matter how he looked at her, he could not see this young, beautiful little girl as a Martial Soul. That was too outrageous!
"I am not lying. I really am Morax's Martial Soul."
"Let me show you two."
Morax immediately demonstrated his ability to retract his Martial Soul. Right before their eyes, Paimon was drawn back into Morax's body, then released again.
"This cannot be real, can it?"
Xiao Hongchen simply could not believe his eyes. Only after personally witnessing Paimon being retracted into Morax's body and released again did he believe that Morax's Martial Soul was the little girl before him, Paimon.
"Then, Mr. Morax, may I ask what abilities you possess? Are you a Soul Master?"
After Xiao Hongchen asked this, Morax found himself in a slightly difficult position. He did indeed possess Martial Souls.
One was Paimon, and the other was the Heart of the Geo Archon.
If they were rated, one ranged from A-rank to god-rank, while the other was a question mark.
But neither of these Martial Souls had Soul Rings. Morax had never killed a Soul Beast since arriving in this world, so naturally he had no Soul Rings. He was also curious about what kind of Soul Beasts would suit these two Martial Souls. Thus, he had not absorbed any Soul Rings, and his own cultivation had already reached the level of a First-Class God.
Furthermore, with his Godslaying ability, he did not fear the Five God Kings at all. Why would he need to add Soul Rings to his Martial Souls? That was something he himself wondered about. So on his way to the Sun Moon Continent, he had not added any Soul Rings.
The main reason was that he did not need them, and adding them would not necessarily produce any good results.
So, he had Martial Souls, but he was not a Soul Master. Calling him a god would be more accurate—though he was probably a demon god.
"I am not a Soul Master, merely a traveler. I came to the Sun Moon Empire only because I wanted to see Soul Tools. Although there are many Soul Tools in the Three Douluo Kingdoms, the Sun Moon Empire has developed them the best, so I wanted to come and see the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Tools."
"So you are merely a traveler. The Sun Moon Empire welcomes travelers like you to visit and admire the Sun Moon Empire."
There were many travelers on the Douluo Continent, and many of them often journeyed through different countries.
Therefore, Xiao Hongchen was not particularly guarded against travelers. Looking at Morax before him, he had no suspicions either. Still, he was very curious why Meng Hongchen wanted to meet Morax. Judging from her expression, his younger sister had come specifically to see Morax.
But Morax was supposedly only a traveler, albeit one with a somewhat unusual Martial Soul. Why would his younger sister want to meet someone like him?
Meng Hongchen said nothing at this moment, for reasons unknown.
[I've already met Meng Hongchen from the original work. Honestly, this character should be one of the more normal people in the Douluo Continent. But she did not get much description, so I do not know much about her. I do not know what is going on with me, but my strength and cultivation are comparable to a First-Class God of the God Realm, and I am not afraid of the Five God Kings. Still, honestly, how should I find a place in the Sun Moon Empire where I can develop?] [And at this point, I added D and the name of my homeland to my own name. Honestly, I feel like a character from One Piece! I only wanted to have a little fun, but it feels like I may have taken it too far.]
As Meng Hongchen read what Morax had written in the Diary, she understood that these were his inner thoughts.
"Mr. Morax, may I ask what you are good at?"
"I know martial arts."
Morax spoke of this ability. It was also comparable to Rex Lapis's incredibly formidable martial arts ability; he was proficient in every kind of martial art.
"Could you demonstrate it?"
Meng Hongchen asked.
"Then I shall demonstrate."
Morax then conjured a small knife in his hand—or rather, a dagger—and gave it a light swing. In an instant, a blast of air appeared.
"Bang!"
Then, before the siblings' eyes, a massive boulder-like hill was instantly split in two!
"!!!"
When Xiao Hongchen saw this scene, he was completely dumbfounded. How powerful was that?! He was not a Soul Master, yet he possessed martial skill comparable to one. No, this could no longer even be described as martial skill!
"Mr. Morax, could you teach me?"
"I can."
"But I hope to learn Soul Tool technology."
"I can."
Morax very much wanted to experiment and see whether he could create Soul Tools. Though he also had Martial Souls, he was not a Soul Master. Yet his strength was comparable to that of a First-Class God.
And since he possessed Martial Souls, he should be able to create Soul Tools.
