"By the way, Rongrong, why don't you go study at Shrek Academy after some time? What do you think?"
Ning Fengzhi suddenly said to Ning Rongrong.
"Shrek Academy? That academy that claims to accept only monsters?"
Ning Rongrong asked with a frown.
"That's right. That academy is quite good," Ning Fengzhi replied with a smile.
"Really? Can Shrek Academy take out a two-hundred-thousand-year soul bone just like that?"
Ning Rongrong's words left Ning Fengzhi speechless.
"Rongrong, a two-hundred-thousand-year soul bone isn't as simple as you think. Look at your Bone Douluo and Sword Douluo—how old are the soul bones on them?"
Ning Fengzhi answered Ning Rongrong with a bitter smile.
"Rongrong, Fengzhi is right. We can't even gather a full set of soul bones for ourselves, much less two-hundred-thousand-year soul bones," Sword Douluo replied bitterly.
If he had a two-hundred-thousand-year soul bone, he would have gone to seek revenge long ago.
"Rongrong, soul bones aren't as simple as you think."
"Then why can the people on the Sky Screen take them out so easily?"
Ning Fengzhi, Bone Douluo, and the others had no idea how to answer.
They were not even from this world, so how could they know what was going on?
"Perhaps this is the future of a parallel world. Maybe that is what the future will be like."
Ning Fengzhi could only come up with an excuse.
But he knew in his heart that even if it was the future, how far into the future could it be?
He had seen that Spirit Hall's Titled Douluo were still around, which meant that time was not far from the present.
Deep within the Star Dou Forest, in its core region.
After seeing Xie Yue casually take out a two-hundred-thousand-year soul bone from the Sky Screen, Di Tian was furious.
"Damn it! That human must have killed one of our powerful kin!"
Di Tian angrily swung his claws at the trees beside him.
Boom!
Though it had only been a casual strike, all the trees dozens of meters ahead were obliterated by Di Tian's claw.
"Di Tian, what are you doing? Don't disturb that lord's rest."
The green-robed girl gently reminded the enraged, towering man.
"I just can't stand it. If I ever meet that man called Xie Yue, I definitely won't let him go." After Bi Ji's words, Di Tian's tone softened considerably.
"Didn't the Sky Screen say so? This happened in a parallel world and has nothing to do with us. The soul beasts killed there weren't from the Star Dou Forest here.
After all, all the soul beasts over one hundred thousand years old in the Star Dou Forest are gathered here." Bi Ji continued to remind him.
Di Tian really did have a violent temper. As expected of a dragon-type soul beast.
"That's right. And that two-hundred-thousand-year soul beast probably wasn't one of us. The youngest among us are already at least two hundred and fifty thousand years old."
Zi Ji, the purple-clad woman leaning against a tree nearby, spoke up.
"Do you think our lord can see this Sky Screen?"
Bi Ji's sudden question left everyone else stunned.
That was a good question. They wanted to know as well. If this Sky Screen was so powerful, could it let their lord see it too?
"Probably. Why don't you ask the Sky Screen?" The Dark Golden Terrorclaw Bear looked at Di Tian.
He hoped Di Tian would be the one to ask.
"Why should I?"
Di Tian shrank his neck. If he asked and angered their lord, they might very well be killed by her.
Besides, why should he be the one to ask the Sky Screen instead of someone else?
"Because you possess the Dragon God's power. Isn't that reason enough?"
"Not enough. If I anger our lord and she kills me, how will I protect this place from being discovered by other humans?"
"Enough, stop talking. There's no point in saying any of this. Keep watching the Sky Screen. If it truly possesses such great power, perhaps we can find a way to help our lord," Bi Ji said gently.
"Mm, we'll listen to Bi Ji."
Di Tian immediately changed his attitude and responded to Bi Ji, as if the Di Tian who had just flown into a rage had not been him at all.
The Sky Screen continued, and time arrived at the day Qin Li was to awaken her martial soul.
The night before, Qin Li had been so excited that she could not sleep, until Qin Feng and Hu Liena came to her room.
"What's this, Li'er? Are you worried?" Qin Feng teased Qin Li as soon as he entered.
"Dad, I really am worried. What if I can't awaken a martial soul?" Qin Li looked at Qin Feng anxiously.
"You will, Li'er. You are the child your father and mother had together. Your father and mother are powerful soul masters, and our martial souls are powerful too. You will definitely awaken a powerful martial soul." Hu Liena gently stroked Qin Li's head.
"Really? But after all this time, I've never seen Dad or Mom fight. I only ever see Mom handling Spirit Hall's affairs, while Dad stays home with me. I don't even know what Dad and Mom's martial souls are.
Even the elder grandpas refuse to tell me what Dad and Mom's martial souls are."
Qin Li looked at Qin Feng and Hu Liena as she spoke.
"Don't worry, Li'er. You will definitely awaken a powerful martial soul tomorrow," Hu Liena reassured her with a smile.
"Really? Are Dad and Mom's martial souls that powerful?"
"Of course. Back then, your father was invincible across the world. Not a single soul master was his match." As Hu Liena spoke of those days, her eyes shone.
She was also exceptionally gentle. Qin Feng had been most attractive to her back then. Meeting him had been the happiest and luckiest thing in her life.
"Then is Dad's martial soul even stronger than the Clear Sky Sect's Clear Sky Hammer?"
"Of course. The strongest weapon martial soul in the world today is your father's martial soul." Hu Liena proudly raised her head.
"Even your mother's martial soul is one of the strongest beast martial souls in the world, so don't worry, Li'er."
"Oho, Mom, whenever you talk about Dad, your eyes start sparkling. Looks like Mom really likes Dad."
Qin Li covered her mouth and grinned mischievously.
"You actually dared to tease your mother? Let's see how I teach you a lesson."
Hu Liena smiled and lightly smacked Qin Li's bottom.
"Ow, ow! Dad, Mom hit me! It hurts so much~"
Qin Li sprang up and jumped into Qin Feng's arms.
"That's enough, Nana."
"You spoil her too much."
"Hehe, Dad is the best."
Qin Li happily wrapped her arms around Qin Feng's neck.
"Li'er, I prepared a bowl of soup for you. Drink it. Once you do, you'll definitely get a good rest and won't be nervous at all."
With a smile, Qin Feng conjured a bowl of soup out of thin air. Its surface radiated a crystalline glow that drew the eye at a glance.
Anyone who saw it would know it was no ordinary soup.
"Drink it. It's delicious."
"Okay!"
Qin Li did not waste any words and drained the bowl in one gulp.
"Burp~ Delicious. It's sweet." Qin Li smiled.
"Then get some proper rest. Tomorrow, Dad and Mom will accompany you to awaken your martial soul."
"Okay! Bye, Dad and Mom."
Once she was placed on the bed, Qin Li began to feel sleepy.
Before long, she fell asleep.
"Is the soup you prepared really alright?"
"What, you don't trust me?"
Qin Feng raised an eyebrow at Hu Liena.
"It's not that I don't trust you. I just didn't expect time to pass so quickly." Feeling the hand around her waist, Hu Liena could not help rolling her eyes at Qin Feng.
"Exactly. Come on, let's go back too."
Qin Feng chuckled and carried Hu Liena out in his arms.
"Oh, we're an old married couple already, and you're still doing this."
Hu Liena's face flushed as she lightly patted Qin Feng's shoulder. She understood what they were about to do, but she still felt embarrassed.
"What does that matter? Even as an old married couple, we're still husband and wife."
Qin Feng carried Hu Liena away without a care.
