Beware of Women with the Star Crown Martial Soul

Hearing the exaggerated tone of her sister's voice and seeing her expression, Zhu Zhuqing seemed to realize something. Her little fists clenched tightly as well.

The death of her sister's fiancé must have had something to do with Spirit Hall. Otherwise, she would never have worn that expression.

In the future, Spirit Hall would reveal its ambitions. Pope Bibi Dong would launch an all-out assault on the Heaven Dou Empire, and the Star Luo Empire would go to war against it as well.

When that happened, the Hell Spirit Cat Family would surely charge to the very front lines to hold off the enemy, because its current clan leader-her father in this life-was the Star Luo Empire's foremost general.

"Zhu Zhuqing, always remember this: Spirit Hall is no benevolent force. Beware of women with the star crown martial soul!" Zhu Zhulin said through gritted teeth.

As she spoke, her hand gripped the table tightly. Sharp claws emerged from beneath her fingernails, gouging several marks into the hard tabletop.

"Mm." Zhu Zhuqing nodded to herself, showing that she understood.

Zhu Zhuqing remained silent at her side. She knew this was the time to let her sister vent her anger.

As far as she knew, the Star Luo Empire's throne had always alternated between the Dai Family and the Xu Family. Whether that was due to an agreement between the Evil-Eyed White Tiger clan and the Star Crown Sect or something else, she did not know.

After a long while, Zhu Zhulin's angry expression finally began to calm. With her little face still slightly flushed, she resumed explaining the distribution of the Star Luo Empire's other factions and its geography to Zhu Zhuqing.

And so a day passed as Zhu Zhuqing studied diligently.

In that single short day, Zhu Zhuqing learned how the major factions of the Douluo Continent were distributed.

The Douluo Continent's powers were broadly divided into the two great empires, Spirit Hall, and Sea God Island out in the ocean.

There were also several great soul beast forests on the Douluo Continent. The largest and most expansive was the Star Dou Great Forest, which stretched across three great empires.

There were countless sects of every kind as well, with the Upper Three Sects and the Lower Four Sects being the most renowned.

The Clear Sky Sect, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon were the Upper Three Sects. All three families were located in the Heaven Dou Empire.

The White Tiger Sect, the Wind Sword Sect, the Elephant Armor Sect, and the Fire Leopard Sect were the Lower Four Sects. Of these, only the Elephant Armor Sect was based in the Heaven Dou Empire. The other three were all in the Star Luo Empire.

"Sister, is our Hell Spirit Cat Family really weaker than those sects? Why isn't our family ranked among them?" Zhu Zhuqing asked in confusion.

That question left Zhu Zhulin utterly stumped. How was she supposed to know? She was only repeating what she remembered her teachers explaining in class to her little sister.

Seeing her sister's adorably bewildered expression, Zhu Zhuqing understood.

"Hehehe, Sister, tell me about the Clear Sky Sect. From what you just said, it sounds really powerful."

Zhu Zhulin rolled her eyes and continued her earnest explanation. In all fairness, when she became serious, she really did look like a little teacher. All she lacked were a little blackboard and some chalk; with those, she would have been the very picture of a beautiful teacher.

"Listen carefully and pay attention. No more random questions, all right? I'm only explaining what I remember my teachers teaching me."

The Clear Sky Sect stood at the head of the Seven Great Sects. Its inherited martial soul was the Clear Sky Hammer, known as the continent's foremost tool martial soul. With its immense strength and explosive power, the Clear Sky Hammer could crush ten clever techniques with a single overwhelming blow. Six years ago, a Titled Douluo with a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring had emerged from the Clear Sky Sect.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's martial soul was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, known as the continent's foremost support martial soul. Each additional soul ring granted the pagoda another support ability and increased its support effects by ten percent. However, the members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's family were all very weak and needed other combat soul masters to protect them.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon was the continent's foremost beast martial soul. Not only did it possess formidable defenses, but its attack power was also no weaker than the Clear Sky Hammer's. Supposedly, a divine sacred dragon martial soul had once appeared in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan-an existence that could rival a god-level martial soul.

The Elephant Armor Sect claimed to have the strongest defenses of any sect. Its martial soul was the Diamond Mammoth, whose strength and defense were both among the very best.

The Fire Leopard Sect's martial soul was the fire leopard. It possessed extreme speed and exceptionally powerful attacks.

The White Tiger Sect possessed the royal martial soul of their Star Luo Empire. The white tiger martial soul's combat power was on par with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon's, and it could even form a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with the Hell Spirit Cat Family's martial soul.

When she mentioned the martial soul fusion skill, Zhu Zhulin's voice noticeably grew quieter, and tears were already gathering in her eyes.

Zhu Zhuqing comforted her sister with complete seriousness. "Sister, don't cry. Once I become a god, I'll help you bring him back to life."

"Uh..."

Zhu Zhulin instantly lost the urge to cry. What was going on with her little sister? She had been so adorable before awakening her martial soul. Why had she become so silly afterward?

All day long, she kept saying things I couldn't understand. Weren't gods beings from ancient legends? Could humans really reach that level?

Zhu Zhulin leaned forward and felt her little sister's forehead. "Zhu Zhuqing, why don't we go see that auntie in the clan? You haven't come down with a fever, have you?"

Speechless, Zhu Zhuqing pushed away her sister's mischievous little hand. Feeling her forehead was one thing, but this girl had actually started tickling her.

"Sister, let go! I'm perfectly healthy. Look at the muscles on my arms! Trust me, in less than ten years-oh, fifteen years-I'll become a Titled Douluo and show you. Then, after another twenty years, I'll become a god and take you on a tour of the Divine Realm."

Zhu Zhuqing had the confidence to make such bold claims. In the original story, she had become that God of Speed, which meant her original talent had already been quite good.

Now that she had awakened twin martial souls and had the miraculous destiny system as well, wouldn't a divine seat be hers for the taking?

Thinking of how her original self had become a god simply by tagging along with Tang San, Zhu Zhuqing began to get carried away.

"Come on. While it's still early, let's go see Auntie. I'm a little worried!"

Zhu Zhulin still could not feel at ease about her youngest sister. She was beginning to suspect that some evil spirit had possessed her. How could she seem like a completely different person after just a few short days?

"Sister, let go!"

Zhu Zhulin forcibly scooped Zhu Zhuqing into her arms and dashed out the door. No matter how Zhu Zhuqing struggled, she could not break free. Even her yoga flexibility techniques proved useless.

The gap between their soul power levels was simply too great. Her sister was, after all, a Soul Grandmaster with two soul rings, and she was already at the peak of level twenty-three.

Although Zhu Zhuqing had innate full level 10 soul power, she had yet to acquire a single soul ring. Thus, her sister completely overpowered her.

The sun sank slowly toward the horizon, bathing the sky in red. At the edge of the heavens, the setting sun resembled a fiery phoenix soaring through the nine skies.

Along the way, the sisters' peculiar manner of moving drew the attention of many members of the Zhu Family. The men in particular, both old and young, all began passing judgment.

Their discussion mainly revolved around two points.

The first was the two girls themselves.

The second concerned Zhu Zhuqing: they were discussing how her fiancé, Dai Mubai, had fled the Star Luo Empire.

"Look at how spoiled and willful she is. No wonder Dai Mubai abandoned her and ran away alone."

"Exactly. She's so young, yet her eyes are already so vicious. Our Zhu Family has suffered a completely undeserved calamity this time. She's a harbinger of disaster."
