Soul Land: Raiden Shogun Is My Martial Soul

Can you blame him for this?

Just who was it that destroyed his martial soul?

Who was it that crippled his soul power?

Fine—even if he still had his soul power and martial soul, he still wouldn't have been able to open this stone door.

He wasn't a power-type soul master, and his martial soul was an external one. His physique was barely stronger than that of a support-type soul master.

"Hmph…"

Yu Xiaogang snorted and finally walked out of the secret chamber.

As soon as he left, the door closed behind him, as if the other party didn't even want to see him anymore.

"Sigh…"

Moving slowly out of the Pope's Hall, Yu Xiaogang's mind was filled with more and more questions.

How could such a grand Pope's Hall not have a single guard?

And not just that, but even the sign at the entrance had changed?

It wasn't until he walked down from Spirit Hall Mountain that he finally saw two guards—compared to him, their physiques were utterly overwhelming.

"Aren't these members of the Elephant Armored Clan?"

"It's not surprising they joined Spirit Hall. After all, the Lower Four Clans were always lackeys for Spirit Hall."

Yu Xiaogang muttered this, not loudly, but in the quiet surroundings, his words sounded especially jarring.

"Hey, don't talk nonsense like that! Be careful or I'll sue you for slander!"

A member of the Huyan family pointed at Yu Xiaogang and said angrily.

Yu Xiaogang, who now had nothing left to lose, certainly wasn't going to be scared of him!

Obviously, it was impossible!

"How am I talking nonsense?"

"On this continent, the Upper Three Clans stick together, and the Lower Four Clans rely on Spirit Hall—they're all Spirit Hall's lackeys. How is that something I made up?"

Yu Xiaogang spoke boldly, with no fear at all.

The Huyan family members exchanged glances, looking at Yu Xiaogang as if he were a fool.

Was this guy still living in the past?

Did his family not have internet or something?

Well, actually, the whole Douluo Continent didn't have internet yet, because Kong was still working on building satellites…

At first, he thought making these things would be simple, but he never expected it to be so hard!

Because it was a "fantasy" world, even the satellites had to have a fantasy twist.

They had to come with their own defensive capabilities…

Back to the main topic.

"That was a long time ago."

"Our Elephant Armored—no, our Huyan family—was the first to respond to the Douluo Federation's call, joining the Federation and disbanding the clan's power."

After saying this, the Huyan family member looked very proud. Because they joined first and were sincere, many important positions were now held by their family.

Their treatment was just a little better than other Federation members.

This was an honor for the whole family!

Last time, after the clan leader led troops to wipe out rebels and returned, he was promoted from captain to deputy minister.

You know, the former Pope herself is now just a minister!

If you're going to be a lackey, you have to choose the right master.

"???"

Yu Xiaogang was completely dumbfounded. The Elephant Armored Clan had disbanded?

Wait, what the heck was the Douluo Federation?

Just then, a child who looked five or six years old came running over, crying.

"Uncles, I—I'm lost. Can you help me find my mom and dad?"

The little kid looked very aggrieved. He'd wandered a bit too far while playing today and gotten lost.

His mom had told him before, if he ran into trouble, like getting lost, he should look for uncles in heavy armor or anyone with the "Eye of God" emblem—they would help him.

"Little one, what's your name?"

When the Huyan family member heard this, his whole demeanor changed. He forced a friendly smile and squatted down to speak gently to the child.

"???"

Yu Xiaogang was bewildered, full of questions.

Were these really members of the Huyan family?

Weren't they supposed to be fierce and brutal?

Why would they be so gentle with a child?

"They're pretending, they must be pretending!"

"Uncle, my name is Xiao Shitou, and my father is…"

The little kid answered honestly.

"All right, kid, you wait here for a bit. Uncle will go ask around and then take you home."

"Okay, thank you, Uncle."

"???"

Yu Xiaogang stood there in a daze, staring in disbelief at the man before him.

This man was about two and a half meters tall and looked fierce and intimidating—how could a child not be scared of him?

What was even more surprising was that the child had actually approached him on his own!

"A'Li, go check this child's address. After the shift change, I'll personally take him home."

"All right, uncle."

This young man named A'Li was actually Huyan Zhen's grandson.

After agreeing, Huyan Li walked away.

Within Spirit City, all residents were registered. Even if there were people with the same name, their family members would be different.

So, finding the child's family wasn't difficult at all.

Yu Xiaogang stood there for a long time, not knowing what to say.

Just from his physique, this middle-aged man's soul power level was surely no less than Soul King…

What Yu Xiaogang didn't know was that the man before him was actually a Soul Sage-level powerhouse!

Otherwise, he wouldn't be on guard duty here.

As for Huyan Li, he was actually a Soul King…

After a long silence, Yu Xiaogang finally asked, "Can you tell me about the Douluo Federation?"

At this moment, Yu Xiaogang's tone was much gentler than before.

"Hey, scruffy uncle, you don't even know about the Federation?"

Xiao Shitou spoke up first.

Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang's eye twitched, and he looked at himself. He really did look a bit scruffy now.

"Even I know about the Federation!"

"My family conditions aren't that great, and since I didn't awaken soul power, I wouldn't have been able to go to school."

"But because of the Federation, I had the chance to study…"

Xiao Shitou said happily.

His grandfather was a soul master, so the family moved to Spirit City.

But his father and mother weren't soul masters, and he hadn't inherited or mutated any talent, so he didn't awaken soul power.

Given his family's circumstances, if not for the Federation, he'd probably be working the land outside the city by now.

"Xiao Shitou, you must study hard and not waste this rare opportunity. If you graduate successfully, come see me again and I'll give you a gift!"

This man didn't even know how to promise big things…

"The Douluo Federation was founded by the Minister—actually, let me start from the beginning."

"It was established jointly by Her Holiness the Pope, along with the Hall of Consecration, the Hall of Elders, and the Saints of the Hall of Thunder."

"..."

After listening to the explanation, Yu Xiaogang frowned.

The Hall of Thunder?

He'd never heard of it before he was arrested, so it was normal not to know about it.

"Uncle, I found it!"

"All right, let's get going—we're still busy."

"By the way, don't talk nonsense about the Lower Four Clans."

"Before the Elephant Armored Clan disbanded, they became the head of the Upper Three Clans!"

"???"

Yu Xiaogang felt like he couldn't keep up with the times anymore.

The Elephant Armored Clan, head of the Upper Three Clans?
