Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Jianmu Tree, Am I a Bumper Monster?

With violence as a backdrop, Mu Ci didn't need to resort to verbal attacks like Tang San.

They could simply make a deal with Dugu Bo, who only wanted to resolve the poison in his family's martial soul inheritance.

Mu Ci also had several methods to deal with this, and Tang San's method was one of them, but it only treated the symptoms and not the root cause.

Spirit mutation is also a method. Dugu Yan is young and her spirit rings are not yet fixed. She can take the Earth Dragon Golden Melon from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and mutate into a dragon-type spirit.

As for Dugu Bo, his martial soul had already transformed into the Azure Serpent Emperor, and his soul rings were fixed, so a special method would be needed.

However, this requires the power of abundance and certain biological experiments, so we can only consider it later.

As for his grandmother Lin Ya, she shouldn't have to wait too long, since the power of destiny improves relatively quickly in the early stages.

Once you reach the second stage, you just need to condense another divine essence, which will only take a few years. With the addition of the immortal herbs from the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, achieving the title will be a piece of cake.

Having thought everything through, Mu Ci was struggling with how to give the divine item to her grandfather.

This is a real world. It's not like in novels where everyone believes whatever the protagonist says. My grandfather has been the dean for decades, so he can't be fooled by any little tricks.

After thinking for a moment, Mu Ci decided to attribute the matter to the gods, saying that it was a reward bestowed upon him after being chosen by the gods. After all, there are gods in this world, and the Spirit Hall worships one, doesn't it?

Moreover, this statement is not entirely wrong. Isn't the God of Abundance a god? It's just that this god is slightly more powerful and more selfless.

Mu Ci sat on the bed, carefully considering what she should say to avoid revealing any flaws, then got out of bed, opened the door, and walked towards the next room.

Chapter 10 Mu Changsheng's Breakthrough

"Boom, boom boom!"

Mu Ci lightly approached Mu Changsheng's door, took a deep breath, and knocked on the door a few times.

With a creak, Mu Changsheng opened the door, looked down at Mu Ci standing in the doorway, and asked with some confusion, "Xiao Ci, is something the matter?"

Mu Ci glanced around, then mysteriously slipped into Mu Changsheng's room and said, "Grandpa, close the door quickly, I have something important to tell you!"

Mu Changsheng closed the door with a puzzled look on his face, sat down on the sofa, and looked at his eldest grandson with a puzzled expression, wanting to hear what important thing he had to say to him.

Mu Ci stopped in front of Mu Changsheng, released the Abundant Divine Fruit in her hand, and said something that shocked Mu Changsheng.

"Grandpa, I have been chosen by a god."

"what!"

Upon hearing his grandson's words, Mu Changsheng suddenly stood up, his face and body filled with disbelief.

"Xiao Ci, tell me your story."

"Grandpa, it's like this. Ever since I absorbed my first spirit ring, my spirit has been sending me a special feeling. It wasn't until I returned to the inn and rested for a while that I finally understood."

Afterwards, Mu Ci told Mu Changsheng the whole story she had prepared, except that she described the Abundant Star God as someone similar to the Angel God of the Spirit Hall.

Ever since Mu Ci awakened the Abundant Jianmu, that deity has been watching over him.

It wasn't until the first soul ring was fully absorbed that they finally made contact, and the God of Wood was given the test. The fruit in his hand was a gift from that deity.

Mu Ci handed the bountiful divine fruit in his hand to Mu Changsheng, and said with a smile:

"Grandpa, if you eat this divine fruit and regain your youth, you will definitely be able to break through to the Title Douluo level. At that time, our Plant Academy will be able to surpass all the advanced Soul Master academies in the Heaven Dou Academy."

Currently, the Heaven Dou Advanced Soul Master Academy does not have any teachers or deans at the Title Douluo level.

Even the Thunder Academy, which is supported by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, has a dean who is only a Soul Douluo, just like the deans of other elemental academies.

Upon hearing this, Mu Changsheng shook his head solemnly and said earnestly:

"Xiao Ci, since this is a treasure bestowed upon you by the gods, you should consume it. Your grandfather is already old and won't waste this divine object!"

After saying that, Mu Changsheng sighed, feeling deeply powerless about his age.

“Grandpa, that’s why you should eat this fruit. Its effect is to restore youth and extend lifespan, and only you and Grandma in the family need it.”

"I'm still young, I don't need this right now, and I'll get it again in the future if I pass the assessment."

Grandma and Mom will have them too. By then, you and Grandma will both be Title Douluo, and you can stay together for hundreds of years.

When Mu Changsheng heard his eldest grandson mention Lin Ya, his face immediately showed hesitation, as if his lifeline had been seized.

Seeing the hesitation on his grandfather's face, Mu Ci's smile grew even brighter. He knew that as long as he mentioned his grandmother, Mu Changsheng would not be able to refuse.

In the Douluo Continent, a land cursed by the god of love, regardless of relationship or stance, everyone must step aside when it comes to lovers.

“Alright, Xiao Ci, let’s wait a few days before going back. It’s better to do this sooner rather than later. If good things aren’t consumed directly, they’ll end up benefiting others sooner or later.”

Mu Changsheng accepted the Abundant Divine Fruit, nodded solemnly to Mu Ci, and then his azure soul light surged as he summoned his Martial Soul.

"Possessed by a martial spirit."

The phantom of the Tree of Immortality appeared behind him, and the eight soul rings of optimal proportion began to emerge beneath his feet.

"Third Soul Skill, Resilient Tree." "Fourth Soul Skill, Cage Barrier."

The third and fourth purple soul rings beneath Mu Changsheng's feet flashed, and countless brown roots began to climb along the bedroom wall.

In the blink of an eye, the entire room was enveloped by countless tree roots, and not a single ray of light could penetrate.

At the same time, under the effect of the third soul skill, they overlap and intertwine with each other, forming an impenetrable wall.

“Xiao Ci, we’ll stay here from now on. With my two great soul skills, even a seven-ring Soul Saint won’t be able to break into this room in a short time.”

After greeting Mu Ci, Mu Changsheng began to consume the Abundant Divine Fruit. The golden fruit was not as hard as it looked; as soon as it entered his mouth, it turned into a golden stream of light and flowed into his stomach.

Instantly, Mu Changsheng felt a warm sensation throughout his body, as if he were soaking in a hot spring, and every inch of his flesh and blood was glowing.

Cells become plump, muscles begin to swell, skin regains its firmness, and bones become stronger.

The wrinkles on his face began to disappear, and his gray hair began to turn black from the roots. He looked as if he had returned to his thirties, the peak state of his physical condition. Under the influence of the Abundant Power, Mu Changsheng's spirit also began to fall into the deepest sleep.

All these changes were visible to Mu Ci. From the moment he swallowed the abundant divine fruit, Mu Changsheng seemed to be transformed into gold, then enveloped in a golden light, as if he had become a fetus, his breath weak but long.

With nothing else to do, Mu Ci began to meditate. Time passed little by little. When he was thirsty or hungry, he used the storage in his soul tool. After about two days, the cocoon of light finally showed signs of movement.

"Click-clack~".

The cocoon of light emitted a sound like an eggshell breaking, and fine cracks appeared on its surface.

"Hahaha~"

Amidst a loud laugh, the cocoon of light exploded into countless points of light, scattering in all directions.

At this moment, Mu Changsheng's body was like cast iron, his face was without a single wrinkle, his flowing hair was black and thick, and he looked even younger than Huo Kuang, whom he had met a few days ago.

"Grandpa, please put your clothes on first." After the cocoon exploded, Mu Ci turned her head to the side. Even though it was her grandfather, she didn't really want to see such a scene.

Still immersed in the breakthrough of his youthful body and soul power, Mu Changsheng's laughter stopped abruptly when he heard his grandson's words. He looked down and his old face immediately turned red. He hurriedly took out his clothes from his personal soul tool and put them on.

"Ahem, my dear grandson, I'm in excellent condition right now. My soul power has already broken through to level 89, and I'm not far from level 90. I should be able to break through within two years at most."

"At that time, my Mu family will finally have a Title Douluo again after more than a thousand years!"

Mu Changsheng awkwardly changed the subject, steer the conversation towards himself, and began to talk about the changes he experienced after taking the Divine Fruit.

Seeing his grandfather talking about his current situation, Mu Ci began to listen carefully. After all, this was a bountiful divine product produced by the Douluo Universe, and he couldn't help but pay attention.

Mu Changsheng recounted the subtle changes he had undergone, from the inside out, without holding anything back. After all, his wife would be taking the medication later, and he couldn't afford any mishaps.

After listening to Mu Changsheng's account, Mu Ci nodded in relief. The information was almost identical to what her martial soul had reported, so she finally felt at ease and began to ask about what happened next.

"Then Grandpa, you can start thinking about your ninth spirit ring."

"Then you don't need to worry about it. When it comes to the ninth spirit ring, your grandmother can ask Spirit Iris Douluo for help. There will be absolutely no problem."

"Alright, let's pack up and bring the good news home."

After saying that, Mu Changsheng waved his hand to cancel the root barrier he had set up two days ago, which then dissipated into the air as soul power.

After tidying up, they boarded a carriage and began their journey to and from Shenmu City.

Chapter 11 Explaining the Divine Test

"Grandpa, we're almost there."

Mu Ci opened the side window of the carriage and leaned out to look into the distance.

The distant city of Shenmu sits like a colossal beast in the mountains of Lorraine Province. Its walls, which are twenty or thirty meters high, cannot conceal their historical charm despite years of repairs.

This nearly two-week-long soul-hunting journey allowed him to truly experience the vastness of Douluo Continent, which could not be described by just a few lines of text in the book.

A place of great calamity, never to be seen in the world, unknown to anyone.

The Sun and Moon Continent, suspended overseas, has a Soul Guidance System that is completely different from that of the Douluo Continent.

The discovery of the Star Luo Continent, which was not found until more than 10,000 years later, and other such things filled Mu Ci with endless longing.

The carriage moved slowly along the bluestone-paved road, passing through the entire Shenmu City and heading towards the Mu Mansion.

"Squeak~"

The carriage stopped at the door, making a sound like it was crushing the earth.

The servants guarding the gate had already seen him and hurried up to greet him, but when they saw the middle-aged man coming down, they started to stammer.

"Master...Master?" The servant was filled with disbelief. If he hadn't served the Mu family for decades and seen Mu Changsheng's appearance when he was young, he probably would have called for help long ago.

"Yes, it's me. Where is Madam now?" Mu Changsheng wasn't surprised to see the servant like this. After all, anyone familiar with him would be suspicious of him in his current state.

Upon hearing Mu Changsheng's words, the servant hurriedly replied, "When we saw the carriage earlier, we already sent someone to inform the old lady. She is now waiting for you in the main hall."

Upon hearing that his wife was already in the lobby, Mu Changsheng hurriedly pulled Mu Ci along, not wanting to wait a moment longer, and wanted to share his joy with Lin Ya right now.

The main hall of the Mu Mansion.

Lin Ya and Li Qin waited in the main hall after hearing the servant's report.

"Tap tap tap~"

A series of rapid footsteps reached their ears, and they immediately stood up from the sofa to greet them.

"Mom!" "Xiaoya!"

Before they could react, two figures, one tall and one short, embraced their loved ones.

Li Qin looked down at her son, who had grown a lot, her eyes filled with heartache.

Since Mu Ci was born, she had never been away from him for so long, let alone this time when they were going to the most dangerous place on the entire continent, the Star Dou Great Forest.
