Lu Xuan's Flaw, Two Partners in Mischief! The Fire God's Gaze, a Gift from a God!

[A quick patch: Leng Yaozhu knew she had arrived in Douluo I. Don't ask why. If you do, the answer is the system's divine power!]

Leng Yaozhu recovered from her shock.

Then she extended a slender finger and gently tapped the helmet. "All right, you can take it off now!"

"Big Sister, how was it?" Lu Xuan removed the helmet, tilted his little face up, and looked at Leng Yaozhu expectantly.

Leng Yaozhu looked at him with a complicated expression and sighed softly.

"Your Spiritual Power far exceeds that of your peers. It's downright monstrous."

"But your physical strength falls below that of Soul Masters your age who have awakened beast martial souls."

"Your Spiritual Power could have supported a thousand-year first soul ring, but your physical strength has dragged that limit down."

"Right now, you can absorb a soul ring of three or four hundred years at most. Anything higher would be more than you could withstand."

"If your first soul ring isn't a thousand-year one, you'll be squandering your innate rank-twenty soul power and Spiritual Power that far surpasses your peers!"

"The most important thing now is to build your body back up!"

With that, Leng Yaozhu turned her wrist.

She took an old-fashioned booklet from her Storage Soul Tool and handed it to Lu Xuan.

"This is a Spiritual Power cultivation method. Since you have such an enormous advantage in Spiritual Power, you must keep it ahead of the pack."

"I'll teach you how to use your Spiritual Power later!"

Leng Yaozhu's gaze grew more solemn than ever as she stressed each word.

"Whatever you do, don't lose it. Spiritual Power cultivation methods are extremely rare. I only obtained this one by chance!"

It was rare for anything to make Leng Yaozhu, a Limit Douluo, so solemn.

That alone showed just how rare Spiritual Power cultivation methods were.

Lu Xuan accepted the booklet with both hands and nodded solemnly.

For now, the most important thing was to help Lu Xuan build his body back up.

The villagers of Holy Soul Village were simple, honest people, and with everyone pitching in to feed him, Lu Xuan had never gone without a meal.

But this was still a poor, remote village.

Every household barely had enough to eat and wear.

How could they afford fine ingredients or medicinal herbs?

Leng Yaozhu wanted to pour her own money into the matter, but she suddenly realized something exceedingly awkward.

The Federation Coin she had brought seemed to be... a pile of wastepaper in this era twenty thousand years in the past?

"Xiao Xuan..." A rare trace of embarrassment appeared on Leng Yaozhu's stunning face. She cleared her throat and asked,

"Do you use Federation Coin here?"

"No, Big Sister." Lu Xuan shook his head and explained patiently.

"We use soul coins here. One hundred Copper Soul Coins equal ten Silver Soul Coins, which equal one Gold Soul Coin."

"Gold Soul Coins are the most valuable currency in circulation."

Leng Yaozhu: ...

I'm the mighty master of the Spirit Pagoda, the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo, with wealth to rival a nation.

And after crossing time and space, I've become a penniless pauper in a single day!

Folks, is there any hope left for me?

For a moment, an uncanny silence settled over the shabby wooden cottage.

The two of them, one grown and one small, began worrying about money.

"How about... we go rob someone?"

Leng Yaozhu blurted it out without warning, a dangerous spark flashing through her beautiful eyes.

Judging by that attitude, this lofty Limit Douluo must have been an utterly lawless little hellion in her youth!

"Oh!"

Lu Xuan's eyes lit up, and he slapped his thigh.

He now had the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record in his possession.

No matter what, he had to visit the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in Sunset Forest.

Working out the timing, that old poison master Dugu Bo had most likely already claimed that treasure land for himself.

Since they needed money and medicine, why not just rob Dugu Bo?!

Besides, among the immortal herbs at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, there were some that could strengthen his body.

Two birds with one stone!

No wonder the system's random guardian selection had landed on Leng Yaozhu.

It turned out that, deep in their bones, these two were both little hellions who wanted nothing more than to throw the world into chaos!

All one could say was that birds of a feather flocked together.

They exchanged smiles, a hint of cunning and mutual understanding in their expressions.

They hit it off immediately and decided to rest for the night, then set out for Sunset Forest first thing the next morning!

The Divine Realm.

Inside the towering Fire God Palace, surrounded by flowing magma.

The Fire God was lounging lazily on his divine throne.

Then his keen senses picked something up.

An extraordinarily unusual aura on Douluo Star was drawing him in.

He had left a legacy site on Douluo Star.

Some talented fire-attribute Soul Masters had found that place before.

But none had ever been enough to catch his interest.

This attraction, however, was unlike anything he had experienced in his long life as a god.

The Fire God sat upright.

Silently, he parted the clouds and mist of the Divine Realm and turned his gaze toward the lower realm.

"Hmm? A Golden Crow Martial Soul, and ultimate fire?!"

A fervent light burst into the Fire God's eyes, but then he frowned.

"Huh? Why does he have another martial soul inside him?"

"This aura, brimming with slaughter and judgment... why is it so much like that killing fiend, the Asura God?"

The Fire God rubbed his chin and snorted.

"Who cares! I found this child first, so he's my successor!"

"Even if that fellow Asura comes knocking, it won't change a thing!"

In the Divine Realm, other gods might hold the Asura God, the God King of Law Enforcement, in the utmost awe.

But as a hot-tempered First-Level Deity and one of the Seven Elemental Gods, he had no fear of the Asura God.

If he joined forces with the Water God, their combined strength would certainly let them go toe-to-toe with the Asura God!

"Little fellow, since fate has brought you to me, I'll grant you an opportunity first!"

The Fire God laughed heartily and casually waved his hand.

A brilliant crimson streak pierced the barrier of the Divine Realm.

It became a shooting star and silently fell into the lower realm.

Inside the wooden cottage in Holy Soul Village.

Lu Xuan had already closed his eyes to rest.

Suddenly, a warm, sacred red glow enveloped him completely.

An exceptionally pure surge of energy flowed into every limb and bone.

Lu Xuan felt warm all over.

As though he were soaking in a hot spring, he unconsciously let out a soft, contented hum in his sleep.

Naturally, this sudden change did not escape Leng Yaozhu's senses.

"What's going on?"

Leng Yaozhu's Spiritual Power instantly swept over Lu Xuan's entire body.

The next second, her beautiful eyes went wide.

"Wait! This power... is constantly dissolving the impurities inside Little Xuan?"

"His muscles, bones, and meridians are all changing?!"

Leng Yaozhu was utterly stunned.

In all her years, she had seen all kinds of heaven-blessed geniuses, yet never such a miraculous sight.

He could cleanse his marrow and sinews, shed his old body, and be reborn just by sleeping?

If those strength-focused Soul Masters learned of this, they would probably weep with envy on the spot!

I sweat buckets every day, painstakingly tempering my body, and you get it all done with a nap?

Then what does all my time spent training my body amount to?

Inside the divine palace.

The Fire God watched everything happening in the lower realm with satisfaction, an expectant smile curling his lips.

"Little fellow, there's no need to thank me."

"Once you're strong enough, that thing inside you will guide your way."

"I... look forward to meeting you in the Divine Realm one day!"

It continued until early the next morning.

As threads of sunlight fell across the windowsill.

The red glow shrouding Lu Xuan gradually faded.

Before disappearing, it also carried away the grime on Lu Xuan's skin.

"Mmm—ah!"

Lu Xuan stretched, feeling refreshed and clearheaded.

That had been one wonderfully comfortable sleep!
