Douluo: Wuhun Eats Iron Beast, Never Become a Slave

Chapter 5: Family Bonds, Thunder Bamboo
When Zhao Mu returned home, his mother Zhao Ru was still busy in the kitchen, and several dishes were already on the table.

Father Zhao Santai sat at the table, as steady as a rock, with a full wine glass in front of him, which was flowing freely.

There is no drama of parents offering sacrifices to the gods or having boundless magic powers, nor is there any drama of parents abandoning their children or the bloody story of "loving father and filial son". When Zhao Mu traveled to the Douluo Continent, both his parents were there, and there was nothing special about Zhao Mu's parents. They were just ordinary people, not soul beasts or monsters, nor were they hidden masters. They were just an ordinary couple.

The soul power is only that of his father, Soul King, and his mother, Soul Sect. If there is one bright spot, it may be that because Zhao Wuji left the Zhao family, Zhao Mu's father became the patriarch of the Zhao family because of the strength of the Soul King.

Other than that, there was nothing special. Of course, Zhao Mu hoped that one day his parents would stand in front of him and say with a smile, "Son, let's be frank. We are both Titled Douluo. You don't have to work hard!"

It’s a pity that no matter how Zhao Mu looked at it, he didn’t think that his parents had the temperament of masters. Moreover, in the original Douluo Dalu, apart from Zhao Wuji, there was no Titled Douluo like Mighty King Kong Bear, and there was not even a Soul Douluo.

Moreover, Zhao Wuji is considered a genius in the family, which shows that Zhao Mu’s father is not much better.

"It's not a festival, why is it so sumptuous?" Zhao Mu joked after taking a look at the food on the table which was obviously larger than usual.

His father, Zhao Santai, glanced at Zhao Mu and said seriously, "I heard from your uncle that your martial soul has mutated? And it's innately full soul power?"

At the same time as his father Zhao Santai spoke, his mother Zhao Ru also came out of the kitchen and looked at Zhao Mu with concern.

For the people of Douluo Continent, the awakening of the martial soul is no less important than Zhao Mu’s college entrance examination in his previous life, and it is even better than that. The college entrance examination may not determine a person’s future, but the awakening of the martial soul can really determine a person’s future in Douluo Continent.

Upon hearing about Zhao Mu's martial soul mutation, Zhao's father and mother were both shocked. After all, in Douluo Continent, most martial soul mutations become worse and worse, and it is rare for a mutation to be stronger than the original martial soul, so Zhao's father and mother were naturally worried from the beginning.

A rubbish martial soul really has no future in Douluo Continent.

what?
There are no rubbish spirits? Only rubbish spirit masters?
Haha, the person who said this is trash!

However, after learning that Zhao Mu actually had full innate soul power, Zhao's father and mother felt relieved. They knew that the innate soul power level indirectly represented the strength of the martial soul.

Therefore, Zhao Mu's innate full soul power means that his mutated martial soul is not a failure, but a successful mutation.

Successful mutations may not be called mutations; evolution may be more appropriate.

Facing his parents' eager gazes, Zhao Mu nodded naturally. His third uncle should have told his father the news as soon as possible.

After all, the Mighty King Kong Bear's martial soul has mutated, and it is innately full of soul power. No matter which one it is, it is shocking enough to the outside world, let alone the small Zhao family.

"I heard that your mutated martial soul is a..." Before Zhao's father, Zhao Santai, finished speaking, he suddenly stopped, and then his eyes fell on the big furry head that suddenly appeared behind Zhao Mu.

"What a cute little guy!" Compared to Zhao's father's daze, Zhao's mother, Zhao Ru, was much more enthusiastic. She came up and rubbed Hei Bai's big head.

Sure enough, girls often have no resistance to furry things, and the same applies to middle-aged women.

Then, Hei Bai was taken aside by Zhao's mother without any hesitation. Zhao's father then continued, "Is this your martial soul? Does it have innate full soul power?"

Zhao Mu nodded: "It is indeed my martial soul, with an independent life. I named it Black and White."

"Black and white? This name is quite descriptive!" Father Zhao took a look at the color of Hei Bai's body and muttered subconsciously.

"Oh, by the way, father, I don't have full innate soul power now," Zhao Mu continued.

However, before Zhao Mu could finish, his father was instantly worried again: "What? You said you don't have full innate soul power?" Innate soul power is equivalent to the college entrance examination score, which is very crucial.

Seeing his father suddenly become nervous and serious, Zhao Mu immediately explained: "Father, I am not saying that I am at full soul power now. When my martial soul awakened, I was indeed at full soul power, but now I am not only at full soul power, but my soul power level has reached level 15."

"So it's Soul Power 10. What?! What did you say? What's your Soul Power level?"

"Level 15. My current soul power level is level 15." Zhao Mu repeated.

"Fifteenth level soul power? Didn't you just awaken your martial soul?" After reaching the limit of each level, soul masters often need to absorb soul rings to break through and continue to practice, so Zhao Mu's fifteenth level means
As if he had guessed what Zhao's father was thinking, Zhao Mu simply spread out his palms.

As his own soul power was mobilized, a dazzling purple soul ring slowly rose from under Zhao Mu's feet and rhythmically moved around his body.

"Purple?"

"Millennium Soul Ring?!"

"The first soul ring is a thousand years old?!"

Seeing the purple soul ring on Zhao Mu, Zhao's father and mother were shocked to the point of losing their composure.

In fact, with their strength, the thousand-year spirit ring would not make them lose their composure like this. After all, they also have thousand-year spirit rings.

However, the location where Zhao Mu's thousand-year soul ring appeared shocked them. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would not have believed it even if they were beaten to death.

The thousand-year soul ring that should have appeared in the third soul ring position appeared in the first soul ring, which was simply unbelievable.

"Mu'er, how did you absorb this soul ring? Is your body okay?" Zhao Mu asked with a worried look on his face while checking Zhao Mu's body.

As a fellow soul master, Zhao's mother naturally knew how dangerous it was for a soul master to absorb soul rings beyond his level.

Although Mr. Zhao was not as direct as Mrs. Zhao, he could not hide the worry on his face.

Seeing the worry on the faces of his parents, Zhao Mu felt a warmth in his heart.

This is also the reason why Zhao Mu dared to reveal everything to his father and mother. He was not like someone who had to hide it from his parents and was afraid of killing people to silence them for fear of exposing the secret.

Zhao Mu then recounted in detail the awakening of his martial soul and the process of absorbing his first soul ring.

After listening to Zhao Mu's story, Zhao's mother looked in surprise at Hei Bai, who had squatted on the stool and was scratching for food with his front paws.

"You said that this little fellow ate a piece of purple bamboo, so you obtained your first spirit ring?"

Zhao Mu nodded truthfully.

Father Zhao standing by looked thoughtful, and after a moment, he seemed to remember something.

"The purple bamboo you're talking about is probably called Thunder Bamboo! It's planted by your second grandfather in the bamboo forest behind his yard."
