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

“Well said, but I’m not afraid. I’d like to ask you, aren’t you afraid that the people who died in the Martial Soul Branch Hall will come looking for you?” Dong Qing’s eyes were calm and unwavering.

“We made a mistake, we can make amends, we are willing to hand over the ringleader, can’t your Spirit Hall understand this? Why do you have to be so ruthless?” the man in black said, clenching his fists.

"You mean, you're just going to let bygones be bygones by handing over the ringleader, and the deaths of dozens of deacons and hundreds of guards from the Spirit Hall in Soto City?" Dong Qing's tone grew increasingly cold.

"Why not? Heaven cherishes life. As the number one soul master organization on the continent, does your Spirit Hall lack even this much magnanimity?" the man in black questioned.

"I'm sorry, I don't have that kind of magnanimity, because I'm afraid that these dead deacons and guards will question me in my dreams, asking why I, the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, didn't avenge them."

After Dong Qing finished speaking, he turned his head, nodded slightly, and the hundreds of elite cavalrymen around him immediately raised their soul power to the maximum, summoned their martial souls, and charged forward.

These men in black were not very strong. In a single exchange, they were killed by the charge of hundreds of cavalrymen without even making a ripple.

The reason is simple: powerful Soul Masters are all intelligent, and they would never do something so suicidal.

At this moment, on a hillside outside the city of Soto.

"Dean, Vice Dean, the Spirit Hall has gone too far. Shouldn't we teach them a lesson?" Ma Hongjun asked in a low voice.

He was somewhat angry, not only at the Spirit Hall, but also at Dong Qing's handsome appearance and the beautiful woman who followed him.

“Yes, with the strength of the dean and vice dean, they have nothing to fear from this 5,000-strong cavalry,” Oscar exclaimed.

There are differences between Soul Masters. Even though this elite cavalry force of five thousand men was composed entirely of Soul Masters around level thirty, they were still no match for Soul Masters above level seventy.

For Soul Masters, level 70 is a qualitative leap. After activating their Martial Soul True Body and Weapon Soul True Body, they can completely crush Soul Masters below level 70.

"Dean, I wouldn't do something so stupid. The Spirit Hall's Holy Son Dong Qing is backed by the Spirit Hall's Pope Bibi Dong. If I were to teach him a lesson, he could just send any Title Douluo to beat me to a pulp." Flander quickly shook his head.

He is the founder and first dean of Shrek Academy, the flying corner of the Golden Iron Triangle, possesses the martial soul Cat Owl, and is an 83rd-level agility-attack type Battle Soul Douluo, nicknamed "Four-Eyed Cat Owl".

"Hongjun, Oscar, you two shut up. Can't you learn to be a little more composed like Mubai?" Zhao Wuji casually punched Ma Hongjun and Oscar, sending them sprawling to the ground.

He is a teacher and vice dean of Shrek Academy, possessing the martial soul Mighty Vajra Bear, an 81-level power attack type battle soul Douluo, and nicknamed "Immovable King".

Meanwhile, the seemingly composed Dai Mubai stood there dumbfounded, staring at Zhu Zhuqing with a strange expression. His fiancée was actually with another man, and her eyes seemed to show that she had a good impression of him.

"Zhu Qing, is this the person you chose? Well, well, as expected, you are also a vain woman." Dai Mubai cursed inwardly.

During his time in Soto, he would date the beautiful girls in town every night, spending money like water, and basically draining himself and them dry every night.

Unlike the penniless Ma Hongjun, who could only choose girls of slightly lower social standing, Dai Mubai was tall, strong, and handsome, making it easy for him to pick up girls.

Chapter 151, A Trip to Heaven Dou City

the other side.

Zhu Zhuqing seemed to sense Dai Mubai's gaze. She turned around and spotted Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and their group on a hillside.

Although she saw Dai Mubai, she had no intention of going up to greet him. After all, they were no longer on the same path, and she was no longer his fiancée.

Dai Mubai, who spent his days indulging in romance and pleasure in the Heaven Dou Empire, was unaware that his engagement to Zhu Zhuqing had actually been canceled not long ago by the Zhu family patriarch, the Empress of the Star Luo Empire.

After all, in her opinion, Zhu Zhuqing, who had climbed the social ladder to become the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, was far better off than following Dai Mubai, since Dai Mubai would most likely be killed by her brother, Davis.

.....

"Zhuqing, what are you looking at?"

Dongqing led his horse and curiously approached. Following her gaze, he spotted several people on a hillside, including an old man, a young man, and a fat man.

After thinking about it, the fat man's features were quite distinctive, so he was probably one of the group from Shrek Academy, since Shrek Academy was located in a village outside Soto City.

"I didn't see anything, Your Highness, let's go." Zhu Zhuqing shook her head and said.

She didn't want to introduce Dai Mubai's identity. Unlike herself, who was already a member of Dongqing and under their protection, it was uncertain whether Dai Mubai could survive against Davis.

A mournful neighing sound rang out.

Zhu Zhuqing's tall horse suddenly fell to the ground. At that moment, Dong Qing quickly pulled her onto his horse and let her sit in front of him.

"Zhuqing, what's going on?" Dongqing asked, puzzled.

"Perhaps... when we were eliminating the three major families of Soto City, I failed to protect it and got injured. Now it can't carry me," Zhu Zhuqing stammered.

Left with no other choice, Dongqing and Zhu Zhuqing rode together on one horse, making a long journey through more than a dozen cities. They had already used up all their spare horses, and they would have to go to the next major city to get a new one.

"Zhuqing, don't you have any strength?" Dongqing said helplessly. As he spoke, he smelled the fragrance of Zhu Zhuqing's hair. At this moment, she was completely limp in his arms.

"I... have consumed a lot of soul power," Zhu Zhuqing explained.

A hundred meters above the sky, Bai Chenxiang flew freely. Under the influence of her martial spirit, she had a pair of beautiful wings on her back and wore a light pink dress.

As she flapped her wings and rested her chin on her hand, she pondered, "I remember when Zhu Qing led people to eliminate the three major families of Soto City, she didn't seem to be riding a horse at all. If that's the case, when did her horse get injured?"

In Bai Chenxiang's memory, Zhu Zhuqing dismounted and rushed in as soon as she arrived at the place. Having awakened the Netherworld Intent, her speed increased dramatically, making her the most terrifying assassin in the world. She didn't need to ride a horse to fight at all.

Time flies, and more than three months have passed.

During this time, Dong Qing led 5,000 elite cavalrymen and traversed all the major cities of the Heaven Dou Empire. All the Soul Master families and imperial nobles who took advantage of the chaos received their due punishment.

Of course, Dong Qing wasn't a bloodthirsty maniac who would kill everyone like the three major families of Soto City. He would also observe whether they went too far when they took advantage of the chaos. Simply robbing gold soul coins and soul bones was one thing.

Money is just an external thing. As long as these Soul Master families and nobles are willing to return 200% of it, then everything is fine. However, if any bloodshed is caused, the family will be completely destroyed.

On his way back to Wuhun City, Dong Qing stopped by Tiandou City to visit Qian Renxue before returning, in order to avoid any uncontrollable accidents.

He didn't bring Zhu Zhuqing and Bai Chenxiang with him this time; he just told them to wait patiently in the room for him to return.

The Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace, the Crown Prince's Hall.

Qian Renxue had already dismissed her maids and guards. In order to welcome someone's arrival, she removed her disguise and revealed her true form. She looked at Dong Qing, who was unharmed, and a faint smile appeared on her face.

"Xiaoqing, you're alright, that's so good. That girl..." Qian Renxue hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but was too shy to say it.

"Thank you for your concern, sister. Don't worry, although the teacher is injured, he's fine. Don't worry too much." Dongqing understood Qian Renxue very well.

She was the kind of stubborn woman who refused to admit defeat. Even though she was very worried and wanted to ask about Bibi Dong's situation, she just couldn't say anything.

"Who's worried? Xiaoqing, don't talk nonsense. I'm not worried about her at all." Qian Renxue raised her snow-white neck, her tone extremely arrogant.

They talked for a long time afterward, mainly about what Dong Qing had witnessed and heard on the day the [Heavenly Calamity Light] descended upon Wuhun City.

"Sigh...this is human nature! I never imagined that humans would behave so poorly in the face of natural disasters. Before the disaster has even fully arrived, humans have already started killing each other," Qian Renxue sighed.

Dongqing had just told her about the story of more than a dozen level 80 Soul Douluo-level powerhouses who sacrificed themselves to civilians and begged for the gods' forgiveness, which made her feel somewhat down.

"Although my strength has greatly increased with the help of Sister A Yin and others, and I have successfully killed all the evil Soul Douluo-level powerhouses, the civilians who died because of them can never come back," Dong Qing said in a low voice.

He was really angry at the time. Why do people always treat ordinary people like ants? Does that mean... ants don't deserve to live in this world?

Having experienced the chaos in Martial Soul City and the past few months of inspecting the Martial Soul Branch Halls in all the major cities within the Heaven Dou Empire, Dong Qing's temperament is gradually maturing.

At least he learned that without power, he couldn't protect those around him.

"It's not your fault, don't feel too guilty," Qian Renxue comforted her.

Looking at Dong Qing's handsome face, now etched with the marks of time, she felt a pang of sympathy for his months of toil and struggle, standing up for all the Martial Soul Branch Halls that had been robbed in their time of need.

"But I... in the end, it was me who failed to protect them." Dong Qing lowered his head, his tone filled with remorse.

He was a boy with a heart full of justice and light, and he couldn't bear to see people suffer.

This doesn't mean he was naive or couldn't see the cruelty of the world. If his heart were full of selfishness and evil, how could Bibi Dong have been close to him?

The darker a person's personality, the more they tend to be attracted to those with a pure and innocent heart. This is probably a true reflection of someone who, though living in darkness, yearns for light in their heart.

Even Bibi Dong, a woman exuding an aura of darkness, was captivated by the clean and pure aura emanating from Dong Qing.

That's why Dongqing was able to attract Blue Silver Emperor A Yin, and pure-hearted 100,000-year-old soul beasts like Xiao Wu unconsciously became close to him. Even a girl as ethereal and pure as Zhu Zhuqing couldn't escape the attraction of his temperament.

Although Xiao Wu appears clever and witty on the surface, giving the impression that she has a complex inner world, her mind is absolutely pure and innocent. This is because a person with a complex mind would never use a soul sacrifice, a sacrifice that completely abandons everything.

.....

Chapter 152, Another Competition

Seeing Dongqing's dejected appearance, Qian Renxue didn't dislike him at all. After all, normal women like boys who are upright and have a bright heart, rather than those with a belly full of filthy and evil thoughts.

Qian Renxue stepped forward, her lotus-like steps light and graceful, and came to Dong Qing's side. She was like an intelligent and beautiful older sister, gently massaging Dong Qing's head with her hands. Her black hair fell down, moving with the wind, like a thin veil, revealing her exquisite face.

Her gentle, watery eyes gazed at the man before her with a hint of affection, a faint smile playing on her lips, as if she truly enjoyed being alone with him.

"It's alright! The future angel has forgiven you," Qian Renxue said softly.

"I'm still the future angel god, and I'm still the future sea god!" Dongqing said with a shrug.

He will definitely not be a god in the future. Besides, the more gods there are, the better, since each god represents a kind of law power.

To become a supreme being, a deep understanding of the power of laws is naturally essential.

"Xiao Qing, do you want to become the Sea God?" Qian Renxue asked curiously.

Dong Qing seemed to have thought of something strange. A faint smile appeared on his lips as he said, "Hmm, I want to study how to become the Sea King."

"What is a Sea King?" Qian Renxue seemed to smell something unsettling. A dangerous glint appeared in her clear, cold eyes, and her hands unconsciously reached for Dongqing's ears.

The next moment could be a 180-degree rotation.

"Sea King... is probably the final form of the sea god!" Dong Qing didn't know how to say it; he couldn't very well say that he wanted to raise fish.

"What final form? It's obviously just trying to fool me." Qian Renxue showed no mercy and directly used one of the woman's signature techniques: ear twisting.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch... Sister, let go!" Dongqing quickly begged for mercy.

Women are all the same, Hu Liena is like that, and so is Qian Renxue.

"Hmph, let's see if you dare to fool me again." Qian Renxue snorted a few times, her mood brightening.

.....

Woman, how dare you bully me!

Dong Qing became increasingly annoyed. She wasn't even his woman, yet she dared to pinch his ear. He immediately decided to teach Qian Renxue a lesson, challenge her to a fight, and let her know who the boss was.

Qian Renxue once lost a bet to Dong Qing at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and had three unconditional requests, provided they weren't excessive. Her first unconditional request was for Qian Renxue to come back and celebrate Bibi Dong's birthday.

Today he made his second unconditional request, asking Qian Renxue to fight him again. She readily agreed, because she didn't think she would lose again.

Half a day later.

Outside Tiandou City, in Sunset Forest, on the outskirts of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye Valley.

Having consumed numerous celestial herbs, Qian Renxue is now an 83rd-level, powerful attack-type Soul Douluo. Given time, she will become a Title Douluo and begin the Nine Trials of the Angels.
