But I'm certain that things changed when I traveled here.
At least that's how her father was. The original work didn't mention the owner of the Dark Dragon Staff. According to the timeline of the original work, her father was at least a Title Douluo.
"Could he have died on the way to Qian Xunji's campaign against Tang Hao?"
Ling Feng did not rule out this possibility. After all, if his father did not have a soul bone a few years later, he would only be around level 87. Facing Tang Hao, who possessed the secret techniques of the Haotian Sect and was fighting desperately, it was not impossible for him to be eliminated.
"Tang Haozi, this life is different, you have no chance."
Ling Feng had heard a lot about the name of the Haotian Twin Stars on the mainland. At most four years later, A Yin's identity would be exposed, which would be when Ling Feng was about ten years old.
I am the same age as Qian Renxue, and in the original novel, Qian Renxue is eleven years older than Tang San. After A Yin's identity was exposed, she hid for a period of six months to a year, so this timeframe is roughly correct.
After sorting out the timeline, Ling Feng had a general idea of what was going on.
Hu Liena, Yan, and Xie Yue are estimated to be around two years old in this timeline.
"Given Hu Liena's background, it's likely that all three of them are in the Spirit Hall's orphanage. These three are quite talented, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to recruit them."
Thinking this through, Ling Feng made up his mind to take Hu Liena and the others under his wing, since three geniuses with innate soul power at level nine were definitely rare in this era.
As for the personalities of the three characters in the original work, Ling Feng has a way to reform them.
"Brother Feng? What are you thinking about?"
"I'm not afraid of hardship, I'm sure I can absorb the first ring of the millennium!"
While Ling Feng was still in a daze, Jin Chen patted his chest and assured him.
"Okay, keep it up. I was thinking about something else just now."
"It's getting late, let's go to sleep."
The two little ones quickly fell asleep, while Ling Feng tossed and turned in bed.
"The sooner we get around Hu Liena and the other two, the better. After all, they are only two years old. Four years of brainwashing will be enough for them to become loyal to me."
"We must take down Dugu Bo and the Immortal Herb, even if it means using force."
The Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire held immense appeal for Ling Feng.
Not only are there various immortal herbs growing inside, which can increase the strength of the Spirit Hall's higher-ups by at least one level, but there are also the Ice and Fire Twin Dragon Kings below.
Those are divine beasts that are millions of years old. Even if their attributes aren't quite right, Ling Feng still wants to absorb the soul rings and soul bones of the two divine beasts.
"And then there's Uncle Qian Xunji. He's been quite good to me, so at the very least, I should save his life. The Grand Elder gave my father such a fine soul bone; it wouldn't be right not to save him."
Of course, the most important person is Qian Renxue. Qian Renxue is somewhat dependent on Qian Xunji, so Ling Feng naturally cannot just stand by and watch Qian Xunji die.
"If four years is enough time for me to take down Dugu Bo and the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, then each of the grandfathers in the Hall of Worship will at least be promoted by one level."
"My father has reached the Title Douluo realm, my mother has broken through to the Soul Douluo realm, and Xiaoxue, Xiaochen, and I can also take this opportunity to advance further."
"This is a real headache. After all, Spirit City is closer to Star Dou Great Forest, so I have no reason to go to Sunset Forest to obtain a spirit ring."
"After all, in terms of distance and the variety and quality of soul beasts, Sunset Forest cannot compare with Star Dou Great Forest."
Ling Feng was still a child in this life, and as he thought about it, his eyelids grew heavy, and he fell into a deep sleep without realizing it.
After he fell asleep, two dragon-shaped phantoms suddenly appeared inside his body, one gold and one black, complementing each other perfectly. The golden threads and ink light they produced continuously merged into Ling Feng's sea of consciousness, causing him to groan in comfort unconsciously.
Nothing more was said that night…
The next morning, Ling Feng was the first to wake up and quickly noticed the changes in himself.
My eyesight has improved, my mind is clearer than ever before, and my whole body feels like it has been reborn.
"This is... a visualization diagram that comes with the Martial Soul?"
A totem appeared in Ling Feng's sea of consciousness, engraved with the totems of the Holy Dragon of Light and the Holy Dragon of Darkness.
If Ling Feng focuses his attention on it, he will find that the totem, which was originally motionless, becomes dynamic after he concentrates his attention.
This is a cultivation method that involves visualizing a sacred dragon to enhance one's understanding of martial spirit and the strength of one's mental power.
Moreover, the amplification effect is extremely impressive. If this continues, Ling Feng's mental strength will far surpass that of his peers.
"I remember that ten thousand years later, Mu En of the Sea God Pavilion used the Holy Dragon Martial Soul of Light and his powerful spiritual energy to create a self-created spiritual soul skill called 'Reign Over the World'."
"Then there's no reason why I can't do it."
Ling Feng stretched and woke up Qian Renxue and Jin Chen, who were sleeping soundly.
"Wake up, you two little sleepyheads, it's time for your morning exercise."
The so-called morning exercise was tailor-made for the little ones by the worshippers. It basically involved running around the worship hall, engaging in close combat with people, and then being thrown into a medicine barrel.
Although it was the most primitive method, it was indeed effective, and the physical strength of the three was comparable to that of an ordinary Great Soul Master.
"Let's go. We've all awakened our martial spirits today. With our martial spirits in possession, we probably won't get beaten up as badly as before."
"..."
The three of them quickly finished their morning exercise and each lay down in a medicinal bath filled with rare herbs, with Tuoba Yue'er guarding them.
"Mom, where did Dad go?"
"Your father went to find whale glue, and the elders are discussing your cultivation plan."
Ling Feng said "oh," and planned to take this opportunity to visit the orphanage in Wuhun City.
"Mom, we'll be starting our cultivation in a few days. Can you take us out to town for some fun today? It's been so long since we've been."
Upon hearing about playing, Qian Renxue and Jin Chen also became interested and begged each other to join.
"Auntie, come on, come on! The Mid-Autumn Festival is just a few days away. I heard there are already many vendors selling lanterns and mooncakes on the streets."
"Okay, okay, we'll do whatever you say. We'll set off after we change our clothes."
Tuoba Yue'er had no problem with it, since no one in Wuhun City could touch these three children anyway.
Chapter 9: Heading to the Orphanage and Subduing Hu Liena
The three children got dressed, and at that moment the sun was rising, the sky was bright, and the orange sunlight shone on them, making them feel comfortable all over.
Tuoba Yue'er walked in front, with the three little ones following behind, until they arrived at the most bustling street in Wuhun City.
The streets were decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, with various large red lanterns hanging in the shops, and many vendors setting up stalls.
These are all Soul Masters from other places, and the stalls mostly sell Soul Beast materials, such as fur and claws.
There are places that sell fresh meat from spirit beasts, but not many.
After all, the cost of transporting soul beast meat to Wuhun City is too high. It requires at least a Soul Master level expert to oversee the operation, and there isn't much meat available. It's a case of high price but no market, and ordinary people wouldn't buy it.
Qian Renxue and Jin Chen were only six years old, and after seeing the lively scene on the street, they quickly joined in.
Qian Renxue held a candied hawthorn in her left hand and a freshly baked, expensive Aikun chicken leg in her right, enjoying it immensely.
Jin Chen only eats meat. Anyway, Golden Crocodile Douluo is no less capable than him in terms of gold soul coins, and he can easily take out some to eat his fill.
Ling Feng did not do that. Instead, he kept observing the street and even intentionally or unintentionally walked towards less crowded areas.
His actions naturally caught the attention of Tuoba Yue'er. "Xiao Feng, is there a problem?"
"Mother, are there any places in Wuhun City that take in orphans?"
"There are places that adopt orphans a few streets away from here. They are the Spirit Hall's welfare homes, where most of the children are descendants of Spirit Hall spirit masters who were adopted due to accidents."
"The dean is a Soul Saint, and His Holiness the Pope values him highly, personally allocating funds to these children. In general, these children are well-fed, clothed, and have no shortage of necessities."
"When they turn six, the Spirit Hall will arrange for them to awaken their spirits. If their spirit power level meets the requirements, they can join the Spirit Hall Academy to study."
"As for those who are not well provided with food, clothing and other necessities, the orphanage will continue to provide them, and once they are able to do so, they will be sent down to various grassroots levels to gain experience."
Ling Feng nodded to himself after hearing this.
The era with the Spirit Hall was not bad; at least their basic living conditions and the right to awaken their spirits were guaranteed.
As for what happens ten thousand years after the destruction of the Spirit Hall…
A genius with innate full soul power actually had to sell his body to earn money to save his mother's life.
If this were in this era, as long as someone with innate full soul power appeared, not only would they need money to save their lives, but they might even be personally taught by a titled Douluo.
Of course, even ten thousand years later, there will still be many people who don't even have the right to awaken their martial soul.
Awakening a martial soul requires paying a sum of gold soul coins, which is nothing to nobles, since they can easily exploit the common people.
Ordinary people, who originally had the hope of changing their fate with the help of mutated martial souls, can only stay at the bottom of society for life because they cannot afford the expensive awakening fee.
"The compassionate Tang God King is truly a hypocrite."
"But since you've met me in this life, don't even think about anything else. Just obediently go and die with the rat."
Ling Feng muttered to himself, "Although there are many corruption problems within the Spirit Hall, they are all in the upper and middle levels. They deal with nobles and city lords, but rarely with ordinary people."
The various deacons of the Spirit Hall, and the heads of the smaller branch halls, are quite good.
After all, this can be seen from the fact that Su Yuntao, a great soul master in the original work, visited various villages and helped them awaken their martial souls.
"By the way, Mom. Does the orphanage have an adoption program? For example, after proving that you are capable of adopting a child from the orphanage?"
"I don't know much about this, but it's unlikely. The parents of these people all sacrificed themselves for the Spirit Hall, and the Spirit Hall won't let any of their children get hurt."
"Of course, this is from the surface. The underlying interests are much more complicated. Since these people are Soul Masters who have joined the Spirit Hall, they are at least Great Soul Masters. And most of their descendants also have Soul Power. They are an indispensable backbone of the Spirit Hall."
"Furthermore, these people have grown up eating food from the Spirit Hall since they were young, so they are naturally extremely loyal to the Spirit Hall. It is unlikely that any family would adopt them at this time."
Analysis by Tuoba Yue'er.
These people are all under the command of the Pope alone, and it is unlikely that they would be adopted by other families of the Spirit Hall.
"However, it's not impossible. After all, our family has a very special relationship with His Holiness the Pope. They're just a few children, so they should be able to make an exception."
"What's wrong, Xiao Feng? Are you thinking of adopting your own group? I remember that the orphanage is holding a unified martial soul awakening ceremony in a couple of days. It would be perfect to go there then."
Tuoba Yue'er thought that her son wanted to select a few talented followers.
After all, this is inevitable. A person's energy is limited. Ling Feng will definitely focus his energy on cultivation in the future, and someone will have to arrange other trivial matters.
“No, Mother. We won’t look for people who have lived in an orphanage for several years.”
"I'm looking for children who have just entered the welfare home, for example, two or three years old. There won't be many, about two or three."
"I will personally train them and make them loyal only to me, like Deadpool."
