[The Martial God Body possesses many special abilities.
The Martial God Domain is one of them.]
[This is a talent-based domain.
It does not appear when a martial soul awakens, but instead requires a soul master to possess an extremely firm belief before it can manifest.]
[This was something I could have obtained effortlessly in my previous life.]
[The Martial God Domain is extraordinarily powerful, and it is the most suitable domain for the Martial God Body in combat.
Within the domain, all attributes are enhanced, and its strength increases as the battle continues.
It sharpens combat instincts and can even allow one to anticipate an opponent’s attacks.]
[It is a purely combat-oriented talent domain—simple, direct, and brutal.]
[Once its realm is further developed in the future, it will become even stronger.]
[Zhu Zhuqing is truly my lucky star.
The very first time we met, she awakened my Martial God Domain.]
Zhu Zhuqing was slightly stunned.
He awakened a domain…?
Why don’t I feel anything at all?
Does it happen invisibly?
The book had already merged into Zhu Zhuqing’s spiritual sea.
She could view it directly with her spiritual power, without taking it out, which was both simple and convenient.
The other women were also surprised, though not entirely.
If the Martial God Body was really as powerful as Xu Fan claimed, then possessing a talent domain was only natural.
“By the way, what were you planning to do originally?” Xu Fan changed the subject.
Zhu Zhuqing quickly regained her composure.
“I’m already twelve, so I can enroll in an advanced Soul Master Academy.
I’m currently looking for a suitable one.”
“Oh.” Xu Fan stroked his chin, pretending to ponder.
“I heard there’s a Shrek Academy near Soto City.
Its admission conditions are rather strange—they claim to only accept monsters—but in reality… it’s just average.”
At its core, it was merely a Soul Master Academy relying on gimmicks.
“Have you considered going to Heaven Dou City?
The Heaven Dou Imperial Academy has better resources and a more suitable environment.”
Zhu Zhuqing glanced at him, but didn’t respond immediately.
The Heaven Dou Imperial Academy?
That was an option she had never seriously considered.
In his previous life, Xu Fan seemed to have been a student there.
“With my current identity, it might not be appropriate for me to go to the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy,” Zhu Zhuqing said with some hesitation.
[I plan to send Zhu Qing to the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, because I also intend to go there.
Heaven Dou City has Yan Yan, Ling Ling, and Xue’er—it’s lively enough, and the academy’s resources are indeed abundant.]
[Zhu Qing is worried because she comes from the Zhu family of the Star Luo Empire.
She fears she might be detained if she goes there.]
[In reality, her worries are unnecessary.
Shrek Academy later planned to attach itself to the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy to participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, only to be driven out by Xue Beng and Prince Xue Xing.]
Liu Erlong accepted them only because of Flender.
Even a member of the Star Luo royal family like Dai Mubai was never in danger in Heaven Dou City—let alone Zhu Qing.]
[I really don’t understand what the Heaven Dou Empire is thinking.
Their third prince is clearly within their borders, yet they don’t arrest him.]
Considering the succession laws of the Star Luo Empire, arresting Dai Mubai would indeed be pointless.
Davis was still alive, and the Star Luo Emperor clearly didn’t care about him.
[Tsk tsk… what a pathetic creature.]
Many of the girls laughed.
Dai Mubai might appear impressive to outsiders, but in truth, he was pitiful.
Looked down upon by his family, unable to live up to expectations, and then giving up on himself—such a person could only blame himself.
Seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing immediately made up her mind.
She would go to the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy.
Only by staying close to Xu Fan could she grow stronger.
Dai Mubai?
Who was that?
“I don’t know him.”
“Don’t worry,” Xu Fan said calmly.
“The Heaven Dou Imperial Academy is very safe.
You may be from the Star Luo Empire, but there’s no war between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire right now.
They won’t target you deliberately.”
Otherwise, the two great empires would be dragged into war—something the Heaven Dou Empire did not want.
“After all, the Heaven Dou Empire isn’t as strong as the Star Luo Empire,” Xu Fan added.
“…Alright.
I can try it,” Zhu Zhuqing nodded.
Xu Fan smiled teasingly.
“You trust me that much?
Aren’t you afraid I’ll betray you?”
Zhu Zhuqing snorted disdainfully.
“Your soul power isn’t even higher than mine.
How could you sell me off?”
Hearing this, Xu Fan suggested, “Then how about a one-on-one duel?”
He also wanted to experience fighting a Soul Master.
He had fought Soul Beasts before, but never another Soul Master.
“Okay!” Zhu Zhuqing agreed immediately.
She wanted to see for herself just how powerful Xu Fan’s Martial God Body martial soul really was.
“Let’s go.”
[Zhu Qing agreed to go to the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy with me, but she may need to go ahead first.
I still have my own matters to deal with.]
[However, I’ll soon have the chance to fight Zhu Qing one-on-one.
But in terms of actual combat strength, even two Zhu Qings wouldn’t be a match for me.]
[Zhu Qing longs for overwhelming power.
If I completely crush her, she might truly become my disciple.]
[A rebellious disciple like Zhu Qing… is actually quite interesting.]
A faint blush flashed across Zhu Zhuqing’s face.
This guy…!
What nonsense are you writing?!
How could I ever become a rebellious disciple?
I would never become your disciple in this lifetime!
Absolutely not!
Ning Rongrong burst into laughter.
“This guy actually has such a twisted sense of humor.”
The other women were also somewhat eager to see how a rebellious disciple–master storyline would unfold.
After all, in the Douluo Continent, the relationship between teacher and disciple was extremely strict.
In many people’s eyes, defying one’s master was practically a grave sin.
If it were me… never mind.
Xu Fan led Zhu Zhuqing straight out of the city, heading northeast.
They stopped in a wide, open area among rolling hills, far from the main road, with an unobstructed view.
“This place will do,” Xu Fan said, turning to face her, his expression calm.
“It’s far enough that it won’t cause too much disturbance.”
Zhu Zhuqing nodded slightly.
She needed to personally verify Xu Fan’s strength—and witness the power of his Martial God Body martial soul.
The two of them tacitly separated, standing about a hundred meters apart.
“Netherworld Cat, possess me!”
Zhu Zhuqing’s pupils changed color—her left eye turning dark green, her right eye icy blue, giving her an eerie appearance.
Her long black hair stirred without wind, then fell smoothly against her back.
Her gaze locked firmly onto Xu Fan.
In the next instant—
An ancient, majestic aura erupted from Xu Fan.
Zhu Zhuqing’s pupils contracted sharply, her heart pounding.
A phantom appeared behind Xu Fan.
Its mere presence exerted a heavy mental pressure, sending instinctive tremors through the depths of her soul.
As Xu Fan’s martial soul possession became more complete, Zhu Zhuqing felt fear rising within her.
This was reverence born of instinct.
And it was far too intense.
Her breathing grew unsteady.
This is… the Martial God Body martial soul?!
A storm raged in Zhu Zhuqing’s heart.
Even though she had been mentally prepared, the reality still far exceeded her expectations.
As expected… it’s terrifyingly powerful.
