Douluo Dalu (Soul Land): I Am Invincible

"Alright, let's go check on the work-study students." Fu Ye playfully pinched Xiao Wu's rabbit ears.

"Ah! Brother Fu Ye, you're so mean! You can't just touch a rabbit's ears like that!"

Despite her words, Xiao Wu leaned into his touch, her ears twitching slightly.

Tang Chuan's chest tightened as he watched their intimate exchange. The resemblance was uncanny—too uncanny.

She looked exactly like his Xiao Wu!

But that was impossible!

His Xiao Wu shouldn't have matured so soon, nor should she be with a man whose strength he couldn't even gauge!

Yet, Tang Chuan quickly steeled himself. He needed to return to the work-study dormitory to see if his Xiao Wu had arrived.

He remembered—she had come shortly after his own arrival!

For now, the God King clung to a sliver of hope. But if Xiao Wu truly wasn't here… then he would kill that man without hesitation.

Xiao Wu was pure and innocent—only he, the noble and righteous God King Tang San, could protect her!

Though he held the dual divinity of the Sea God and Asura God, the other gods of the Divine Realm secretly called him the God of Wisdom!

With his brilliant mind and flawless schemes, he would ensure this young man met a gruesome end within six years—and Xiao Wu would escape his clutches, returning safely to Tang San's embrace.

His plan was set: after obtaining his first and second spirit rings, he would head to Sunset Forest.

Dugu Bo was a fool who knew nothing of pharmacology. What a waste for him to hoard those precious spirit herbs! Only he, the wise and mighty Tang San, could utilize them to their fullest potential!

This time, he would manipulate Dugu Bo with pills—first purging the poison from his body, then refining pills to stabilize him. With a Titled Douluo as his loyal dog, his path would be much smoother.

Though he no longer wielded the power of the Sea God or Asura God, the brilliance of his wisdom still outshone the entire continent!

Hadn't he already proven it? His meticulous planning had secured him the dual godhood and will allowed him to amass wives and concubines, and even stand against the rigid God of Destruction!

…

Nuoding Academy had only one dormitory building, shared by students and teachers alike. The structure was simple—a square layout with seven rooms, modest but warm.

Given the academy's limited funding as a junior soul master institution, the dormitories were far from luxurious. The beds were plain, the facilities sparse, and shared spaces like bathrooms were communal.

"Oh my, isn't this the beautiful young man who sells milk tea on the streets? Young master, how about becoming my pet? I'll pay you ten gold soul coins a month! Hahahaha!"

A cold-faced girl was surrounded by a group of noble students from Nuoding City. Though she maintained a calm facade, panic flickered in her eyes.

"Hey, Beautiful Young Master, just submit to our boss. He's the strongest in the academy—an eleventh-level soul master and a noble! You're lucky he's taken an interest in you!"

"Yeah, yeah! Consider it an honor!"

As they closed in, the girl stopped retreating. A spectral peacock—black and white—materialized behind her.

The noble students sneered, summoning their own spirits: kitchen knives, spatulas, wooden sticks—crude and laughable.

The young master activated her spirit, using its innate agility to slip past their encirclement.

From a distance, Fu Ye and Xiao Wu observed the scene.

Xiao Wu's eyes widened. "Brother Fu Ye, she—"

She tugged his sleeve, pointing at the girl now fleeing from a dozen pursuers.

"You comfort her. I'll handle the rest."

Fu Ye patted her head before turning his gaze to the besieged girl.

[Spirit Power: Level 10]

[Martial Spirit: Light and Dark Peacock]

[Background: Born to a noble and a commoner, she lost her mother at three. Disowned by her father, she survived by running her mother's milk tea stall.]

[Spirit Description: A benign mutation of the Peacock Martial Spirit, fused with a trace of divine blood. Its quality rivals the Holy Dragon of Light.]

[Author's Note: Xiao Wu's martial spirit follows Soul Land's lore—no twin spirits here, so the White Tiger was replaced with dual attributes. As for Tang San's bloodline, since only one Blue Silver Emperor exists per era and Ah Yin already holds that title, his martial spirit regressed to the Blue Silver King.]

As the girl neared, Fu Ye noted her striking resemblance to Xiao Wu—like Wang Dong'er and Wang Qiu'er of the Unrivaled Tang Sect era. Similar, yet distinct.

At Xiao Wu's wave, the girl hesitated—then darted toward her.

The noble boys, however, remained undeterred.

"Big bro, there's someone over there!"

"Who cares? My father rules Nuoding City! I'll take the blame if needed!"

"Listen to the boss! Let's tie up that pretty sister and bring her home tonight!"

Fu Ye nearly scoffed. 'Are kids on the Douluo Continent really this depraved at six years old?'

The young master clutched Xiao Wu's hand, trembling. Her earlier composure had been a facade.

Fu Ye released a fraction of his aura.

"BOOM!"

Thunderous pressure crashed into the students' minds. Their vision swam—then darkness.

"Thud! Thud! Thud!"

Bodies hit the ground. The girl, eyes squeezed shut, shuddered behind Xiao Wu.

"It's okay now. Brother Fu Ye took care of them."

Xiao Wu felt an inexplicable kinship with the girl.

Cautiously, the girl opened her striking black-and-white eyes. Relief washed over her at the sight of the unconscious bullies.

"Thank you, sister!" She bowed deeply to Xiao Wu, then turned to Fu Ye. "Thank you, brother!"
