Chapter 1 ? He Qi and Zhu Zhuqing
Xingluo Empire, Zhu Family Marquis Mansion.
A teenager with black hair was chopping firewood in the backyard.
His eyes were dim and he felt that the future was dark.
The boy's name is He Qi, and he is a small servant of the Zhu family.
The Zhu family is the family where Zhu Zhuqing is located. They are the nobles of the Xingluo Empire. They have such a close relationship with the Xingluo Royal Family and have a deep background.
The ceremony of awakening the martial soul will be held tomorrow. Although he is a lowly servant, he must also participate in it as required.
Life was already hard enough, but tomorrow would inevitably be sarcastic.
Soul Master, the most noble profession in Douluo Continent.
Since his birth, He Qi has never dared to expect anything.
He just wanted to live a simple life, but the tree wanted to be quiet but the wind did not stop. This humble identity made him suffer from all kinds of rolling eyes and bullying.
It is the same in any world. The strong prey on the weak and the fittest survive.
No matter how optimistic you are, you may not want to live such a life, right?
"Boy, why are you dazed there?"
Just when He Qi was thinking, Zhu An entered the backyard with a big golden sword.
Zhu An, the housekeeper of the Zhu family, is over fifty years old and has a goatee with his eyes dripping. His quick personality and flattery skills are deeply loved by the Marquis Zhu.
"I said, you little bastard are in a daze here? Have you finished all the work you did?" Zhu An yelled at He Qi without hesitation.
"Ten tanks of water and fifty kilograms of firewood have been prepared."
Years of work have made He Qi's young body tough and strong, and even one-fifth of his age can't do it.
Zhu An's eyes dripped around: "What's wrong? Is it amazing after finishing it? I'm asking if you have some gamblers? The young men of the Dai family will come tomorrow. That's the royal family! Do you have the brain? Can these be used? Then pick up ten tanks of water and make fifty kilograms of firewood!"
After hearing this, He Qi frowned: "Butler, are you a little too much? This is more than twice the workload of the usual work!"
"Yo roar! You little girl, you learned to talk back. If the lady hadn't protected you, I would have beaten you to death now?" Zhu An said, raising his hand and slapped him in the face.
He Qi clenched his fists tightly and prepared to fight back.
"Zhu An, stop me!"
Before Zhu An's palm fell, a purple figure came with a gust of fragrant wind, and his fair and tender little hands grabbed Zhu An's wrist.
A girl in purple dress has black hair and jade-like skin. Although her complexion is cold, she cannot cover her delicate face.
Zhu Zhuqing, the youngest daughter of Marquis Zhu.
"Little... Miss..." As soon as he saw Zhu Zhuqing, the housekeeper seemed to have immediately shortened three points, and his arrogant and arrogant attitude towards He Qi was wiped out.
"Butler Zhu is so majestic. The members of the Dai family of the royal family are coming tomorrow. There are so many things waiting to be prepared outside. Are you actually training people here?" Zhu Zhuqing's originally cold face became even more majestic.
Zhu An immediately became nervous and terrified: "Little... the lady said, the old slave left immediately."
After saying that, he ran away like a gust of wind.
He Qi: "Thank you, for helping me again."
"It's okay, the people here are bullying the weak and afraid of the strong, and I'm used to it."
For some reason, Zhu Zhuqing had a natural affection for He Qi. She often came to him, and he would tell her some fun stories. Whenever he saw her laughing, he felt sincerely happy in his heart.
She seemed as cold as ice, and she talked more when she was with him.
One of the reasons is that Zhu Zhuqing was disappointed with the Zhu family from the bottom of her heart.
There is an unwritten iron rule among the royal family and nobles of the Xingluo Empire.
In order to make the family heirs better, they will train other candidates as enemies. The winner can inherit the family, but the loser will have a very bad ending.
In order to prevent the family from strife, they will directly erase the losers.
The senior executives of the Xingluo Empire are so cruel.
Dai Mubai, the boss of the Shrek Seven Monsters, went to the Tiandou Empire because he was extremely disappointed with his family and was afraid of being wiped out by his family.
The coldness of the family and the perverted people around her made her feel more and more disgusted, and she could only feel a hint of warmth from He Qi.
Whenever the young men and housekeepers of the Zhu family bully him, Zhu Zhuqing always protects him openly and secretly.
He wants to become strong and protect her.
I have fantasized about gaining powerful martial souls and power countless times, but they all burst like bubbles.
That night, he had a dream.
In a daze, he heard a sound that seemed to be there and not be there.
"Boy, do you want to gain strength?"
Although the consciousness is half asleep and half awake, the sound is extremely clear.
"Um?"
"Congratulations to the host for being selected by God and receiving a gift package for beginners."
"The Golden Holy Dragon Martial Spirit is being bound..."
"The King of Realms is being bound..."
"The dragon-type thousand-year soul ring is being bound..."
"Binding is complete!"
After saying that, the sound disappeared.
There is something to think about the day and dream about the night.
I must be dreaming again, right?
Thinking of this in confusion, He Qi couldn't help but smile bitterly, turned over and fell asleep...
The next day.
Many people came to the Zhu family Marquis' Mansion, which was much more lively than usual.
Many of them were from the Dai family and many other noble children from the Xingluo Empire.
As a royal family, the Dai family came to the Zhu family to perform such a ceremony at this time of year. This shows that the relationship between the two families is extraordinary, and the Zhu family is also highly valued by the Xingluo royal family.
In the Zhu Mansion Hall, a ceremony of martial soul awakening and soul power testing began.
The first thing that went up was a blond boy with a handsome face. As soon as he got on the stage, two yellow and one purple soul rings floated.
Two hundred-year soul rings and one thousand-year soul ring.
"Davis, Martial Soul White Tiger, Level 31 War Soul Lord."
The person in charge of the awakening and testing of martial souls was a great soul master from the Dai family. The martial soul was also a white tiger. He nodded with a pleasing intention.
Davis is a elder brother six years older than Dai Mubai. His martial soul has already awakened. This time, he will be a special test of his soul power.
He reached the state of Soul Lord in his teens and was very favored by his family. The Dai family had long intended to make him the heir.
However, this is also the reason why Dai Mubai ran away from home and went to the Tiandou Empire alone. Once the Dai family or the Zhu family chooses heirs, the lives of the remaining children will be in danger.
Then a girl wearing purple clothes and looking very similar to Zhu Zhuqing stood up.
Like Davis, two yellow and one purple soul rings floated on his body.
"Zhu Zhuyun, martial soul Netherworld Spirit Cat, level 29 great soul master."
Zhu Zhuyun is Zhu Zhuqing's sister, seven years older than Zhu Zhuqing. She and Davis are a pair of CPs.
The two were once favored by the nobles of the Xingluo Empire and became the key training targets.
After taking back his martial soul, Zhu Zhuyun looked at his sister with a show-off look.
Several teenage soul masters from the Zhu family of Dai family have completed the martial soul test, and the worst one is also a level 17 soul master. Next, it is the turn of a smaller guy to perform the martial soul test.
