Douluo Continent: I ushered in this era

Therefore, many people believe that Bai Tianzhe will become an evil spirit master and demand that the harm be nipped in the bud.

Bai Tianzhe was an orphan. He was powerless to resist the malice of the crowd and could only escape from Tianhai City and wander all the way to Aolai City.

However, a group of evil spirit masters discovered the special nature of his martial spirit and constantly tormented him, trying to make his martial spirit Nightmare absorb negative emotions and corrupt his mind, turning him into a member of the evil spirit masters.

Fortunately, they were discovered by Chu Ci's family, and Bai Tianzhe was rescued.

Chu Ci still remembered that day. Looking into Bai Tianzhe's eyes, she saw the deep-seated hatred and knew that if she let him go, he would most likely go astray. Bai Tianzhe possessed innate full soul power and an extremely strong martial soul; this would be a disaster.

Chu Ci couldn't possibly kill Bai Tianzhe, since Bai Tianzhe was innocent and couldn't decide what martial soul he awakened. Moreover, awakening an evil martial soul didn't necessarily mean becoming an evil soul master; for example, Yuanen Yehui, who possessed the Fallen Angel evil martial soul, wasn't classified as an evil soul master.

Finally, the Chu family decided to have Li Zonglei adopt Bai Tianzhe, so that Chu Ci could "train" him and put him on the right path.

Chapter 3 Na'er, Soul Technology

"Tianzhe, you... sigh!" Chu Ci sighed helplessly, rubbing his forehead. After two years of being cared for by Chu Ci's family, Bai Tianzhe, who had suffered greatly, had become extremely dependent on them, especially Chu Ci herself. Moreover, perhaps due to the influence of his martial spirit, he would become somewhat extreme whenever Chu Ci was involved.

"Young Master," Li Zonglei appeared beside the two.

"Uncle Li, clean up the scene," Chu Ci instructed, then said to Bai Tianzhe, "I'll deal with you later."

Bai Tianzhe nodded without saying a word, simply following silently behind Chu Ci. In his memory, his boss was a very gentle person; his boss had said this many times, but had never put it into practice.

……

As soon as Chu Ci opened the door, a small figure with silver hair rushed into Chu Ci's arms.

"Brother, you're finally back." A soft, sweet female voice rang out in Chu Ci's arms.

Chu Ci looked at the silver-haired, purple-eyed little girl in his arms, his eyes full of tenderness. He gently stroked her silver hair and said softly, "Brother is back. Has Na'er been a good girl at home?"

This little girl is none other than Na'er, the alter ego of the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena.

Thanks to her precognitive knowledge of the original work, Chu Ci brought Na'er home before Tang Wulin could.

In response, Chu Ci admitted that he was lusting after Gu Yuena's body.

However, now that we've reached the third stage of the Douluo Continent series, it would be unreasonable not to have some designs on Gu Yuena.

Bai Tianzhe went to the cultivation room to practice the Heart-Cleansing Technique to suppress the evil thoughts surging within his martial soul. The Heart-Cleansing Technique was also a cultivation method created by Chu Ci, which has the effects of purifying the mind, calming the spirit, dispelling evil, and enlightening the heart.

Chu Ci took a shower, changed his clothes, and headed to the Soul Guidance Laboratory beneath the Chu family villa.

"Don't stay up too late studying the soul tool today. Your aunt is coming tomorrow morning," said the middle-aged man sitting on the sofa in the living room.

Chu Tiannan, Chu Ci's father in this life, is a level 54 Soul King and the controller of the Chu Group.

The Chu Group mainly sells soul guide devices for people's livelihood. Originally, the group mainly sold its products in several coastal cities, but after Chu Ci began to learn about soul guide devices, it designed new soul guide devices such as soul guide mobile phones and drones as group products.

Subsequently, leveraging its product advantages, the Chu Group began to expand rapidly, and its business scope has now subtly extended to the entire Federation.

However, the reason why the Chu Group was able to expand so smoothly and without hindrance was mainly because the Chu family had powerful backing, and the arrival of my aunt tomorrow was related to this.

"Okay, Dad," Chu Ci replied, rubbing his temples. Thinking about what would happen tomorrow, he couldn't help but sigh.

Chu Ci entered the study and opened a hidden door. The door, made of extremely hard metal, opened to both sides, revealing an elevator. Chu Ci then took the elevator to the underground soul guidance laboratory.

"Welcome, Young Master Chu Ci," Taiyi's mechanical voice announced.

"Hmm, have I received any unread messages in my Soul Messages lately?" Chu Ci asked. Soul Messages was a chat software developed by Chu Ci, which was very popular among people in Douluo Continent.

"Mr. Tang Wulin sent a message saying he is very grateful to you, Chu Ci, for purchasing the Hundred-Year Soul Spirit for him, and he will definitely repay you in the future," Taiyi said.

As Tang San's son, Tang Wulin carries many arrangements made by Tang San, which Chu Ci needs to be aware of.

Most importantly, Tang Wulin is still young and has no contact with Tang San, which means that Tang Wulin's values ​​are highly malleable.

By interfering with Tang Wulin's growth, there is a high probability that Tang Wulin will be able to use the signal axe to attack Tang San.

So on her first day of school, Chu Ci started getting to know Tang Wulin, and the two became good friends.

Knowing that Tang Wulin's family couldn't afford to buy a soul spirit, Chu Ci offered to give him one million.

Tang Wulin initially refused, but Chu Ci leaned closer and said in a sinister tone, "Wulin, you don't want your father to feel sad and guilty because he can't afford to buy you a soul spirit, do you?"

Tang Wulin was startled, remembering his father's sighs day and night because of money problems. He gritted his teeth, took out the bank card, and said, "Chu Ci, I am learning forging. I will definitely pay you back when I earn money in the future."

Chu Ci knew, of course, that Tang Wulin was learning forging, and that Tang Wulin had an exceptional talent for forging, which was something Chu Ci valued highly.

Moreover, if Tang Wulin had that million, Tang Ziran wouldn't have participated in the Spirit Pagoda experiment and ultimately died in front of Tang Wulin.

Saving Tang Ziran and his wife's lives can be considered a good deed.

Chu Ci arrived at an experimental table. The table was filled with complicated instruments and engraved with intricate soul-guiding arrays. Several mechanical arms were supporting a transparent sphere.

Inside the transparent sphere coiled a black dragon covered in jet-black scales, its eyes closed as it quietly received energy flowing from all directions along the mechanical arm.

Chu Ci stared intently at the sphere, which was actually a special spirit designed by Chu Ci.

That's right, it's a soul spirit. The artificial soul spirit, capable of bestowing soul rings upon soul masters, is the technology that Chu Ci is most interested in regarding Douluo Continent.

To acquire this technology, Chu Ci not only purchased several spirits but also secretly hacked into the Spirit Pagoda's internal network to search for information. However, the Spirit Pagoda was very cautious in this regard; only a few artificial spirit technologies were found on the network, and nothing related to the Spirit Ascension Platform was visible.

However, Chu Ci was no pushover. With his talent and the Sage's Time, Chu Ci successfully created a soul spirit.

After figuring out how to create soul spirits, Chu Ci was surprised to find that the cost of creating soul spirits was terrifyingly low. The price of one million for a hundred-year-old soul spirit at the Spirit Pagoda was so high that even real estate in his previous life couldn't compare to that.

The only relatively precious material among artificial soul spirits is the soul beast gene, because soul beasts are gradually becoming extinct, and their genes are constantly being lost.

But this wasn't a problem for Chu Ci. The Divine Balance's substitution ability was more than sufficient; he could obtain any type of soul beast gene he desired. Therefore, Chu Ci conducted a deeper study of soul spirits.

The strange dragon-shaped spirit before him was Chu Ci's latest achievement, but Chu Ci would not absorb it to give himself a spirit ring, because it would serve another plan - "Weapon Spirit".

"Taiyi, how's the analysis of Na'er and Tang Wulin's blood coming along?" Chu Ci asked.

"I'm sorry, Young Master Chu Ci, given the current performance of the supercomputer Hetu, the analysis process has made almost no progress," Taiyi replied.

Sigh, as expected, Chu Ci rubbed his temples. The blood of the Douluo Soul Beast Ancestor was indeed not so easy to study, and the power of the Dragon God was indeed not so easy to fathom.

Chu Ci can only study the relationship between the blood of the Golden and Silver Dragon Kings and other soul beasts, and deduce the basic soul beast creation technology. The dragon-shaped soul spirit on the experimental table is a new type of soul beast created by Chu Ci.

"Taiyi, continue to use the Hetu to deduce the possibility of new soul beast genes."

"Yes, Young Master Chu Ci."

Chapter 4 Su Mengjun's Arrival

Chu Ci sat down at another experimental table and continued to inscribe a soul-guiding array on this table, which had a peculiarly shaped alchemy furnace.

Because I have guests coming tomorrow, I didn't study the Chu Ci until too late and went upstairs to rest.

The next morning, under the bright sunshine, Chu Ci was still fast asleep in his bedroom.

At that moment, the bedroom door clicked open, and a silver-haired figure sneaked in, letting out a "woof" as he pounced on Chu Ci.

Chu Ci, who was in the middle of a dream, was suddenly awakened and almost got kicked away by Na'er.

Chu Ci was panting heavily. He opened his mouth as if to curse, but looking at Na'er who was clinging to him like a koala, he said helplessly, "Na'er, don't suddenly pounce on me like that next time!"

"Oh, Na'er understands." Na'er nodded cutely and continued, "Mom said the guests are arriving soon, so brother needs to get up quickly."

"Okay," Chu Ci said, nuzzling against the soft pillow and struggling to sit up in bed.

After getting up, washing up, and having breakfast, the family gathered in the living room.

Chu Ci's mother, Su Shuyun, said, "Tian Zhe, why don't you take Na'er to play in the garden behind the villa for a while?"

Bai Tianzhe understood immediately and pulled the bewildered Na'er away from the living room.

A short while later, Li Zonglei led a stunningly beautiful woman into the living room. This woman was exceptionally beautiful; although her face bore the marks of time, it was still evident that she must have been a breathtaking beauty in her youth.

Upon seeing this, Chu Tiannan and Su Shuyun smiled and stood up to greet her, calling her "cousin" repeatedly with great enthusiasm.

Chu Ci secretly observed this cousin he had never met before. Her breathing was deep and steady, her steps were firm, and her temperament was extraordinary. Her strength was probably quite remarkable.

After exchanging pleasantries, Chu Tiannan pushed Chu Ci in front of him and introduced her, "Ci'er, this is your cousin, Su Mengjun."

"Your aunt is an extremely powerful Title Douluo, a Title Divine Sword."

Chu Ci then suddenly realized that he remembered the record of his cousin in the original work.

Su Mengjun, the thirteenth War God of the War God Hall, a level 92 Title Douluo, and wields a Title Divine Sword. She is married to Long Tianwu, the second War God of the War God Hall and a level 98 Super Douluo. They possess the Martial Soul Fusion Skill—Heavenly Dance Dream Monarch Emperor Divine Sword, whose combined power rivals that of the ultimate.

"Hiss," Chu Ci gasped. Chu Tiannan had said his aunt was very strong, but he hadn't expected her to be this strong. Although Su Mengjun was only level 92, her husband was level 98.

Su Mengjun looked down at her nephew with great interest. As someone whom Vice Hall Master Guan Yue cared about so much, Su Mengjun was also very curious.

In fact, although Chu Ci's mother and Su Mengjun were from the same clan, their relationship was rather distant. Especially after Su Shuyun married into Aolai City, the relationship between the two families basically stopped at the point where they knew of each other's existence.

Until two years ago, Chu Tiannan suddenly contacted Su Mengjun, seeking cooperation between the Chu Group and the Temple of War.

After some twists and turns, Chu Tiannan met with Vice Hall Master Guan Yue. After their conversation, the two reached a series of agreements.

"Hello, Auntie," Chu Ci greeted politely. Su Mengjun nodded in response.

Chu Tiannan gestured for everyone to sit down and asked Li Zonglei to make tea. After everyone was seated, Chu Tiannan asked with a smile, "Cousin, what brings you here today?"

Su Mengjun took a sip of the brewed tea and said slowly, "Tiannan, you should know best why I came here."

Upon hearing this, Chu Tiannan remained expressionless, but the hand on his thigh gradually tightened.

Chu Ci also lowered his head and remained silent. He naturally knew that Su Mengjun had come here for him.

During these three years, Chu Ci needed to consume a lot of resources, whether he was researching soul tools or accelerating his cultivation speed through the Scales of God.

The original Chu Group was just a small company in Aolai City, and it couldn't withstand Chu Ci's constant drain.

In order to meet Chu Ci's resource needs, Chu Tiannan began to use some new soul tools that Chu Ci had casually developed to expand the market and earn more money.

The rapid expansion of the Chu Group naturally affected the interests of other soul tool companies, and the strongest member of the Chu family was only a Soul Saint, Li Zonglei.

Therefore, Chu Tiannan contacted Su Mengjun, hoping to get help from the War God Temple.

Upon hearing this, Su Mengjun also became interested. Since she and her husband happened to be passing through Aolai City on a mission, they decided to stop by the Chu family for a visit.

At that time, Chu Ci was immersed in cultivation, and Chu Tiannan did not call him, so Chu Ci had no idea that Su Mengjun and Long Tianwu had come, let alone that Long Tianwu had observed him while he was cultivating.

What's particularly interesting is that during that time, Chu Ci had just used the Sage Time to deduce a set of self-created soul skills.

The self-created soul skill amazed Long Tianwu. Especially after learning that Chu Ci's martial soul was extremely strong, and that a soul master of only a dozen levels could create a level three soul tool, she immediately realized that Chu Ci was a rough gem that could shine brightly with just a little polishing.

After returning to the Temple of War, Long Tianwu introduced Chu Ci to the Vice Temple Master Guan Yue.

Guan Yue naturally trusted the judgment of her longtime comrade-in-arms, Long Tianwu. Therefore, Guan Yue reached an agreement with Chu Tiannan: the War God Temple would strongly support the Chu Group, but Chu Ci would become a prospective member of the War God Temple. After Chu Ci graduated from the Junior Soul Master Academy, the War God Temple would make arrangements for his future development.
