Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Young Gilas, Sandstorm King!

Chapter 114 Zhu Yu!

She covered her mouth and chuckled softly, her eyes and brows brimming with a lively smile.

"Alright, alright, it was my fault for saying that."

She actually squatted down, not caring at all about the scorching sand and dust, and stretched out her slender hand, with a natural and friendly touch, to gently stroke Young Gilas's hard yet smooth little head.

Her movements were gentle, carrying a peculiar calming power.

Young Gilas's sullen state was instantly disrupted by this sudden, gentle apology and soft caress.

The little guy stiffened, a clear look of panic and helplessness flashing in his scarlet eyes, and his previous "fierce" aura vanished in the blink of an eye.

It seemed embarrassed by this sudden act of kindness, and let out a short "Oh...".

Then, with a "whoosh," it nimbly darted back behind Lin Xia, peeking out only half its head. With its big, curious, and slightly shy eyes, it secretly sized up the beautiful older sister who had just "offended" it and was now making it a little embarrassed.

Seeing the adorable way Young Gilas was "secretly observing," the woman's smile deepened, as if filled with starlight.

She stood up, and her gaze towards Lin Xia softened considerably, tinged with a hint of emotion.

"Not only does a martial spirit possess a completely independent physical form, but it also has such clear intelligence and emotions... Little guy, your martial spirit has truly opened my eyes."

She paused, her smile fading slightly, and then said to Lin Xia seriously:
"Since you're here to obtain a spirit ring, do you need my help? I see you have no elders to protect you, and it's too dangerous for you to be alone in the depths of this western desert."

Her suggestion was made with genuine goodwill, clearly treating Lin Xia as a gifted but unprotected and ignorant child adventuring alone.

Lin Xia felt a warmth in his heart, but his vigilance did not waver. He shook his head decisively, his young face displaying age-appropriate politeness, but his tone was unusually firm.

"Thank you for your kindness, sister. However, I have already successfully obtained my spirit ring, so I won't trouble you any further."

To dispel any possible doubts or potential troubles the other party might have, Lin Xia added, emphasizing her words.

"Besides, my elders are investigating other things in the nearby area and will be back to find me soon, so there's really no need to worry."

Lin Xia cleverly fabricated an "elderly person living nearby," both to make the other party hesitate and to subtly express that she did not need to accompany him.

Upon hearing this, a knowing glint flashed in the woman's eyes.

She nodded understandingly, seemingly accepting Lin Xia's statement.

It makes sense that a child with such a unique martial spirit would have elders secretly protecting him.

Looking at Lin Xia's composed demeanor, a hint of admiration appeared in her eyes. She couldn't help but reach out again, wanting to gently stroke Lin Xia's hair as if stroking Young Gilas, as a farewell gesture.

"What an amazing little guy, he can do it all by himself..."

Her fingertips, slightly cool, were about to touch the top of Lin Xia's head—

hum!
Like the most sophisticated soul power detector being overloaded in an instant, a powerful, condensed, and unimaginable soul power fluctuation suddenly awakens like a dormant volcano under your fingertips!

The purity and profundity of this soul power produced a strong response the moment it came into contact with the trace of probing energy contained in her fingertips!

The gentle smile on the woman's face froze instantly, like the surface of a lake being frozen in time!

Her outstretched hand froze completely, hovering just inches above Lin Xia's head!

Those clear, star-like eyes, as cold as a deep pool, suddenly contracted to two pinpoints in utter shock!

How can it be? !
Seven years old!

With her extraordinary and insightful perception, Lin Xia's bone age was clearly reflected back—seven years old!
But this soul power...

Level 25?!
A level 25 Great Soul Master?! These two pieces of information struck the woman's mind like two bolts of divine thunder from the heavens, carrying earth-shattering power!

Her past understanding, common sense, and even her definition of geniuses in the Soul Master world were instantly shattered!

A seven-year-old Great Soul Master?!
Since the establishment of the Spirit Hall and the existence of clear records, there has never been such an absurd and terrifying record in the Douluo Continent!

Even if it were a legendary reincarnation of a god, at the age of seven, when the body and meridians are far from mature, it would be impossible for him to withstand the soul power of a Great Soul Master!

This violates the most fundamental principle of soul power cultivation!
Under the immense impact, her breathing, for the first time, lost its usual long and steady rhythm, becoming rapid and disordered.

Her full breasts heaved violently, as if an invisible giant hand were gripping her throat, each breath carrying an unbelievable burning sensation. She could even clearly hear her heart pounding wildly in her chest like a heavy drumbeat, as if it were about to burst out of her chest!

Shocked!

Unparalleled shock!
It swept over her entire mind like a raging storm!

This cannot be described simply by the word "genius"! It completely overturns the universally accepted, ironclad common sense in the world of Soul Masters!
It is a forbidden existence that has broken the laws of life and soul power!

"you……"

The woman's voice was extremely dry, with a tremor that she herself was unaware of.

She forcefully suppressed her surging blood and turbulent emotions, her gaze, like the most precise probe, focused on Lin Xia once again with unprecedented solemnity and scrutiny.

This time, her gaze was no longer gentle, but penetrating, as if she wanted to see right through him, inside and out!
She needed to confirm it! To confirm this unbelievable fact!

Her spiritual power, like an invisible tide, instantly enveloped Lin Xia.

This is not an attack, but the purest and most advanced form of sensory exploration.

Soul Power Level - Level 25!
Condensed like mercury!

The foundation is incredibly solid!

This is absolutely not a case of forcing growth!

Bone age – seven years old!
Absolutely certain!

Every line of bone structure proclaims the naivety and authenticity of this body!

The combination of seven years old and a level 25 Great Soul Master has created an impact that has completely shattered its worldview!

She looked at the boy before her, his youthful yet unusually calm face, the profound and composed depth in his dark golden eyes that belied his age, and the equally mysterious, yet wary and curious, young spirit beside him, Young Giras…

At that moment, she finally understood why this child could appear alone in the heart of this deathly desert!
Why is his "Martial Soul" so unique?

Everything that seemed illogical found a breathtaking explanation in the face of this astonishing talent.

The woman slowly and solemnly withdrew her hand, which had been frozen in mid-air.

She straightened up, and the lazy, casual aura around her vanished without a trace, replaced by an indescribable solemnity and... a burning light as if she had seen a priceless treasure.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm her still turbulent emotions, her eyes becoming extremely serious, even carrying a hint of awe.

She looked at Lin Xia and asked, word by word, in a clear and solemn voice:

"Little friend... my name is Zhu Yu, from the Star Luo Empire. What's your name? Which faction do you come from? And who is your elder...?"
