On the Douluo Continent, deep in the night, a flash of light suddenly appeared within the empty courtyard of the Jun family estate, then vanished without a trace.
A moment later, the light faded, and Jun Lin, Shui Linglong, Yan Fei, Yue Shen, Black White Xuan Jian, Jing Ni, and the Six Sword Slaves replacing Yan Ri—Zhen Gang, Duanshui, Luan Shen, Wangliang, Zhuanpo, and Miehun—appeared out of thin air.
What surprised him the most was that Black White Xuan Jian and Jing Ni had not yet gone to the Wei state to carry out their mission, and naturally could not have crossed paths with Wei Xianxian and Wei Wuji. As for Yan Ri, he had been conveniently dealt with by Shui Linglong back when she knifed Lü Buwei in the back.
At this moment, the group that had arrived from The Legend of Qin to the Douluo Continent looked around, shock and confusion written across all their faces. They exchanged glances in silence, yet their eyes also betrayed curiosity and unease toward this new world. One by one, they cast their gazes toward Jun Lin, waiting for further explanation.
Seeing their reactions, Jun Lin understood their bewilderment. He cleared his throat and slowly said, "Everyone, you should already have a basic understanding of this world through the contract. This is an entirely new world, known as the Douluo Continent."
"This is a world belonging to martial souls. There is no flashy magic; what exists here is soul power developed to its peak! Everyone in this world awakens a martial soul at the age of six. The types of martial souls are vast, so I will not list them one by one. This profession is called a 'soul master' on the Douluo Continent. Soul masters have strict rank divisions, ranging from lowest to highest: soul scholar, soul master, soul grandmaster, soul elder, soul ancestor, soul king, soul emperor, soul saint, soul douluo, and titled douluo. What soul masters cultivate is soul power, which shares wonders similar to the inner qi of your world. Elevating every single rank requires massive cultivation and accumulation, and the growth of soul power is the critical point. Moreover, the language and some basic information of this world have already been transmitted into your minds through the power of the contract. You can slowly digest the rest yourselves; I will awaken your martial souls first."
Subsequently, Jun Lin helped everyone awaken their martial souls. As expected, Black White Xuan Jian, Jing Ni, and the Six Sword Slaves all awakened martial souls representing their respective weapons; Yan Fei awakened the Three-Legged Golden Crow, and Yue Shen awakened the Jade Rabbit of the Jade Palace.
After awakening her martial soul, Yue Shen was initially overjoyed to have awakened the legendary Jade Rabbit of the Jade Palace martial soul. However, when she saw Yan Fei's Three-Legged Golden Crow martial soul representing the sun, her joy was instantly dampened by more than half.
Ever since she was a child, she had always been suppressed by Yan Fei. Now, having arrived on the brand-new Douluo Continent, she had thought she could shake off this predicament, yet she never expected that after awakening their martial souls, her Jade Rabbit of the Jade Palace would still be overshadowed by the radiance of Yan Fei's Three-Legged Golden Crow martial soul. Her already slightly pale face took on a few more shades of gloom at this moment. Jealousy welled up in her heart once again, and she secretly vowed that she must change her destiny of being suppressed by Yan Fei.
Right away, she looked at Jun Lin. When she saw his succubus-like good looks, a thought instantly popped into her mind: Since I am always suppressed by Yan Fei in strength, why not start from other aspects? Yan Fei's man is so outstanding; if I can snatch Jun Lin away from her side, it will surely deal a heavy blow to her, and perhaps I can use this to change my perpetual disadvantage. Thus, Yue Shen's gaze held an extra hint of calculation and determination.
After everyone finished awakening their martial souls, Jun Lin had Shui Linglong lead the others to rest in vacant rooms, while Jun Lin naturally shared a room with Yan Fei.
Only then did Jun Lin in the room activate the system, taking out the reward for completing Yan Fei's wish list task in The Legend of Qin world previously.
[System Profile] [Yan Fei] [Age: Eighteen] [Martial Soul: Three-Legged Golden Crow] [Soul Power Level: Level Eighty (Inner Qi converted to Soul Power)] [Soul Ring: None] [Wish List: Unique, To hold hands with you, and grow old together with you.] [Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing Yan Fei's unique wish list, To hold hands with you, and grow old together with you. The host receives Mysterious Gift Bag x2] [1, A set of hundred thousand year adaptive soul bones, upgradable!] [2, Hundred thousand year adaptive soul rings x9, upgradable!]
"Tsk tsk tsk, should I say as expected of the number one heroine of The Legend of Qin! This reward is truly jaw-dropping. That set of hundred thousand year adaptive soul bones can adjust according to the user's needs and characteristics, exerting maximum utility; it can be called a rare treasure that can only be met by chance and never sought. And those nine hundred thousand year adaptive soul rings—with these, Yan Fei won't need to worry about soul rings and soul bones from now on."
"It's unimaginable. Once Yan Fei fully absorbs and digests all these system rewards, her soul power will soar to an unreachably high level. Perhaps she will become the youngest titled douluo on the Douluo Continent. With these, Yan Fei's strength will definitely receive a massive boost," Jun Lin muttered to himself.
"Yan Fei, this is for you." Jun Lin took the soul bone from the system space and handed it to Yan Fei, his gaze filled with complete tenderness and doting. "This is a gift prepared for you. With it, your strength will rise to the next level."
"This is? A hundred thousand year soul bone?" Unlike Luo Wang and Yue Shen, those newcomers to the Douluo Continent who were clueless, ever since Jun Lin and Yan Fei got together, except for the existence of the system, Jun Lin shared everything with Yan Fei down to the smallest detail.
Jun Lin had told Yan Fei many times about the wonders of the Douluo Continent, and that included this unimaginably precious hundred thousand year soul bone. Therefore, Yan Fei recognized the item at a single glance. Her beautiful eyes were filled with shock and deep emotion; she knew the value of this soul bone all too well, and she could hardly imagine how much effort Jun Lin had expended to obtain it.
She never expected that Jun Lin would actually prepare such a generous gift for her. She raised her gaze slightly, looking into his deeply affectionate eyes, and a warm current surged in her heart. "No, Lin, this thing is simply too precious. You need it more than I do."
Jun Lin shook his head slightly, his gaze full of firmness and tenderness. "Yan Fei, in my heart, nothing is more important than you. To me, this soul bone can only exert its maximum value when it's on you. I believe that with your talent and strength, you will definitely be able to wield it to perfection."
Looking at Jun Lin's persistent gaze, Yan Fei was moved beyond measure. She knew his mind was made up and that further refusal would be useless. "Lin, since it's like this, then I accept it. Your worries are my worries, your joys are my joys; I will certainly not let down your expectations, and I will strive to improve myself and march forward side by side with you," Yan Fei said softly, her eyes filled with determination.
Jun Lin revealed a gratified smile and gently pulled Yan Fei into his embrace. "It's truly wonderful to have you by my side," he murmured softly beside her ear.
"Lin...!" Yan Fei looked at Jun Lin with such deep affection, feeling her heart grow warm. She rose slightly on tiptoes, leaned gently close to him, and planted a tender kiss on his cheek.
Seeing this scene, Jun Lin swept Yan Fei up into his arms, walked toward the bedside, and gently laid her down. The breeze tonight was quite boisterous, rustling the gauze curtains by the window with flapping sounds, as if they too were dancing for their deep affection.
