Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Ten Ferocious Heavenly Horned Ant

Dong Qing pondered to himself, but the next moment, he noticed Xiao Wu, who was still sleeping soundly in his arms, and slapped her on the back.

"Brother Qing, what are you doing?" Xiao Wu rubbed her eyes, still sleepy, looking like she hadn't had enough sleep.

"Today I'm taking you to the academy to register. Xiao Wu, you're mine now. Remember to behave well at the academy from now on." Dong Qing pulled Xiao Wu off him.

She was only a head shorter than him. Although she couldn't compare to her mature self yet, she was a grown woman now, and to say the least, she had a good figure.

Although she can't compare to Zhu Zhuqing in terms of figure, she's still on Ning Rongrong's level.

.....

On the way to the Spirit Hall Elite Soul Master Academy.

Dong Qing and Hu Liena walked side by side, with Xiao Wu following behind them. Although she felt a little jealous that Hu Liena had stolen her man, she didn't dare to speak up and accuse her.

Who told me I was just a concubine...

"Why are you bringing it with you?" Hu Liena asked.

"She likes the human world and wants to try life at the academy, so I brought her here to experience it," Dong Qing said calmly.

"Whatever you want, but it's best not to develop feelings for each other, otherwise you'll have a hard time making a move," Hu Liena reminded her.

Whether it's her, Bibi Dong, or most people, they wouldn't regard a 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast as a human. In their eyes, it's just a 100,000-year-old soul ring and a 100,000-year-old soul bone.

.....

With her status as the Holy Son of the Eastern Spirit Hall, Xiao Wu unsurprisingly joined the Spirit Hall Elite Soul Master Academy, where she made her first friend.

"Hello, my name is Xiao Wu, the 'Wu' in 'dancing'." Xiao Wu looked very happy. This was her first time getting to know the human world and her first time being a student.

"Zhu Zhuqing," Zhu Zhuqing said coldly.

"You're a freshman, right? I'm a freshman too." Xiao Wu extended her hand.

After thinking for a few seconds, Zhu Zhuqing reached out and gently shook hands with her.

"I saw him. He brought you here. Who are you to him?"

"I am Brother Qing's personal maid."

"Brother Qing? Is that what you usually call him?"

......

Leaving aside Zhu Zhuqing's shock, on the other side, Dong Qing was researching the Martial Soul Fusion Technique with Hu Liena.

The Spirit Hall Elite Soul Master Academy, Senior Area, Qingxin Garden.

There are many plum trees planted here. The plum trees are not tall, and the green leaves still have dewdrops from the morning. One by one, the green plums are gradually ripening.

On a flat grassy field, Dong Qing and Hu Liena sat facing each other, their respective martial spirits floating behind them.

The fiery red fox, transformed from the demon fox martial spirit, lay quietly behind Hu Liena, exuding a rich and eerie charm.

The humanoid creature transformed from the Heavenly Horned Ant Martial Soul hovered majestically behind Dong Qing, exuding an aura of fighting against heaven and earth.

I don't know how much time has passed.

The Heavenly Horned Ant Martial Soul remained aloof and indifferent, showing no interest whatsoever in the Demon Fox Martial Soul. Or perhaps, to it, this trashy Martial Soul held no interest whatsoever in merging with it.

"Junior brother, do you not like me at all? Our martial souls can't be fused together at all," Hu Liena said angrily.

This...this woman's thought process...Dong Qing was speechless, choked by her words.

"Senior Sister!"

"You're not allowed to call me 'Senior Sister' anymore. Junior Brother, you're just lying to me. You don't like me at all."

"Senior sister, please let me explain, this is a martial soul..."

"I won't listen! I won't listen!"

Even the Heavenly Horned Ant Martial Soul itself couldn't control this day. It feigned aloofness and refused to fuse with the lower body. Just when Dong Qing didn't know what to do...

On Douluo Star, in the endless void, the female ant's soul phantom, who had been silently watching Dong Qing, noticed Dong Qing's confusion and spoke for the first time.

A clear, ethereal voice echoed in Dong Qing's mind, simultaneously pulling him into a mysterious mental link.

"Your Highness, the Martial Soul is a unique creation of this world, and it is formed according to an individual's physique and bloodline. You can try to subdue it with your own spiritual power. You don't have to let the Martial Soul choose everything on its own."

"Who are you? Why are you helping me?" Dong Qing raised his head, looking at the sky with a puzzled expression. He felt as if the speaker was in the sky...

"I... am... keeping it a secret for now. As for why I am helping Your Highness, Your Highness will naturally find out in due time," the female ant's illusory soul said softly.

"Alright then, what's your name? You can tell me now, right?" Dongqing continued to ask.

“Yu Niang…” The illusory soul of the female ant uttered these two words.

After the mental link was severed, Dongqing's consciousness returned to reality.

"Speaking of which, is there such a deity in the Douluo God Realm as Yu Niang? Why is she helping me out of the blue? Could it be that she has taken a liking to me and wants me to inherit her godhood?"

Dong Qing had a million questions running through his mind, but he was certain of one thing: the person he had just communicated with was definitely some unknown deity.

Yu Niang's spiritual power is like the ocean, and she herself is like a lone boat floating on the ocean. This level of existence is probably only possible in the Douluo God Realm.

Although he didn't know what this mysteriously appearing deity wanted to do for him, Dong Qing now understood that martial spirits could be subdued with spiritual power.

[The Essence of Martial Soul]

A martial soul is like an extra body that grows out of the body. It is a benefit created by the laws of the Douluo world and belongs to every native of the Douluo Continent.

This is also why his body reversed back to infancy, because only by doing so could he obtain the current Heavenly Horned Ant Martial Soul.

In Douluo Continent, the reason why one needs to be six years old to truly awaken their martial soul is because there is no way to awaken one's own martial soul in advance; everyone needs six years to nurture their martial soul.

Otherwise, wouldn't the children of those Soul Master families, who awaken their Martial Souls at birth, be able to get a six-year head start over others?

For the Skyhorned Ant, the amplification effect of Martial Soul Possession is extremely powerful, as doubling its strength is an invaluable skill for it.

.....

As outsiders, their control over their martial souls is inherently inferior to that of the Douluo natives. To achieve martial soul fusion, they must completely subdue the martial soul itself.

After figuring out what to do, Dong Qing felt relieved. He could finally see a glimmer of hope for his and Hu Liena's Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

Under his control.

A powerful and terrifying mental force suddenly erupted, and a terrifying mental storm began to impact the Heavenly Horned Ant Martial Soul. At the same time, the pure bloodline of the Heavenly Horned Ant within his body unconsciously emitted a trace of the ferocious power from the Ten Ancient Fiends.

A two-pronged approach amplifies the power.

Dongqing felt that the Heavenly Horned Ant Martial Soul was gradually becoming clearer and more transparent. Its control over the Martial Soul had reached a new level. At least it would no longer reject the Martial Soul fusion with the Demon Fox Martial Soul.

Gradually, under Hu Liena's watchful gaze, the Heavenly Horned Ant Martial Soul and the Demon Fox Martial Soul showed a slight tendency to merge.

[Soul Fusion Progress: 10%]

"Hmph! Junior brother, you're finally practicing your spirit fusion technique seriously with your senior sister now. It makes me angry just thinking about it. Yesterday, she worked so hard, and you were completely unmoved. If I hadn't gotten angry today, I doubt you would have taken this seriously either," Hu Liena said angrily.

"How could that be? I just haven't figured it out yet. Senior Sister, don't be angry." Dong Qing reached out and hugged Hu Liena, gently pinching her fair cheek.

The couple sat side by side on the grass, bathed in the golden sunlight, looking like a match made in heaven.

Chapter 120, The Nine-Tailed Fox

Time passed by little by little, and in the blink of an eye, several months had vanished.

Timeline, Douluo Calendar, June 10, 2644.

Besides spending one night a week staying in Bibi Dong's room to increase his bloodline awakening level, Dong Qing also gets a peaceful sleep without having to cultivate his soul power.

At other times, he cultivated his soul power within the Blue Silver Domain opened by Blue Silver Emperor A Yin.

[Awakening level of the Skyhorn Ant bloodline: 36.313%]

[Soul Power Level: Level 43 Soul Master] Successfully advanced to [Soul Power Level: Level 45 Soul Master]

Unfortunately, Xiao Wu was a disappointing rabbit. She would often cultivate until midnight and then fall asleep without realizing it, collapsing onto Dong Qing and drifting off to sleep.

Even so, in the large-scale simulated cultivation environment of the Blue Silver Domain, it would only take her a maximum of three years to reach maturity in cultivating her soul power.

As we all know, some things taste better when cooked.

Thanks to Dong Qing and Hu Liena's persistent efforts in spirit fusion over the past few months, coupled with their constant displays of affection, their spirit fusion progress has reached its final stage.

[Soul Fusion Progress 99%]

The Spirit Hall Elite Soul Master Academy, Senior Area, Qingxin Garden.

“Junior brother, we are just one step away from completing the Martial Soul Fusion Skill. At that time, we, senior and junior brothers, will be the strongest on the continent.” Hu Liena’s pretty face was full of excitement.

"Okay, let's keep going! Just one last step."

Although Dong Qing didn't care about spirit fusion or need spirit fusion skills to enhance his strength, what was the point of walking alone?

What good is it to be a lonely and isolated ruler, to unify the world and become an emperor? To roam the stars, to dominate the world, to be a god feared by all—would that really bring happiness?

Looking back suddenly, there was no one around, and Dongqing didn't want to walk alone in the future.

...

[Soul Fusion Progress 100%]

Under Dong Qing's control, the Heavenly Horned Ant Martial Soul and the Demon Fox Martial Soul finally merged completely. Of course, this forced fusion, where a high-level Martial Soul merges with a low-level Martial Soul, essentially resulted in the Heavenly Horned Ant Martial Soul taking the lead.

However, Dong Qing didn't need the Martial Soul Fusion Skill to enhance himself, so he chose to relinquish control to Hu Liena. Suddenly, a strange and mysterious fluctuation spread outwards.

In an instant, the world changed color, the wind and clouds shifted, and a powerful and terrifying aura erupted from Hu Liena. At the same time, a mysterious space slowly unfolded, taking Dong Qing and Hu Liena into it.

Dong Qing looked around the space, which was about ten square meters in size. It was empty, desolate, and had nothing in it. He shrugged and casually found a place to lie down and rest.

Meanwhile, Hu Liena's aura continued to intensify, as if her demon fox martial soul had broken through a certain limit and was evolving into a higher level.

The distinctive whimpering of a fox rang out.

A fox phantom, hundreds of meters tall, slowly took shape and solidified, with snow-white fangs, a slender body, and four legs supporting it on the ground. It was lying quietly on the ground.

Its entire body is covered in fiery red fur, and it has nine tails on its back that are longer than its body. With a slight sway, it creates a terrifying storm, giving people a sense of the earth collapsing.

Witnessed by all the teachers and students of the Spirit Hall Elite Soul Master Academy, the hundred-meter-tall nine-tailed fox rose up and roared to the sky, possessing a terrifying aura that was no less than that of an ordinary Title Douluo.

Thanks to the high quality of Dong Qing's Heavenly Horned Ant Martial Soul, even though he relinquished control, the newly formed Martial Soul still possessed terrifying strength.

"Is this the result of the Holy Son and Holy Daughter's efforts over the past few months?"
