Douluo Dalu: The World Suppressing Douluo

After obtaining the three martial arts techniques from the jade pendant, Lin Ye couldn't help but think of a new way to possibly uncover information about his parents.

He was quite pleased with his progress.

The Martial Soul awakening today had brought significant gains for Lin Ye. Even with just the non-offensive Nine Yang Divine Skill, he already possessed physical strength far surpassing that of an ordinary adult.

Now, with the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill for physical training, and Phoenix Dance Six Illusions for agility, along with the offensive sword technique Dugu Nine Swords, his combat abilities would be greatly enhanced.

It was said that Soul Masters were incredibly powerful, but Lin Ye believed that if he could master these three techniques, his strength would be on par with, if not surpass, even the most formidable Soul Masters.

And if he were to use his Martial Souls, perhaps even Soul Masters wouldn't stand a chance against him.

After breaking through the energy barrier in the jade pendant, aside from the three martial arts techniques, it seemed like there was something else hidden within.

Gazing at the jade pendant in his hand, Lin Ye recalled the dark space his consciousness had entered upon shattering the barrier. He furrowed his brow in thought.

Without hesitation, Lin Ye once again infused the pendant with his Nine Yang True Qi.

In an instant, everything went black, and his consciousness was pulled back into that same pitch-black space.

The space wasn't very large, roughly the size of a small room. Floating quietly in the center was a wooden box.

"As I thought..." Lin Ye muttered to himself, already suspecting that this was no coincidence.

"Could this box also be something left behind by my parents?"

The idea that this wooden box might have been left for him by his parents filled Lin Ye with anticipation.

The moment that thought surfaced, his consciousness was pulled out of the dark space.

When his senses returned, Lin Ye was surprised to find the wooden box had appeared in his hands!

"Is this… a storage space?"

The sudden experience reminded Lin Ye of stories his grandfather, Old Jack, used to tell—about powerful Soul Masters possessing special treasures that could store countless items within a large internal space. These were called "storage spaces."

"I wonder what's inside the box."

The thought of the storage space quickly faded, as Lin Ye's curiosity about the box took over. While the idea of such a treasure had fascinated him before, his attention was now entirely focused on what his parents might have left for him in this box.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Ye opened the box with a mix of excitement and apprehension.

Inside the wooden box lay a letter.

"Dear Son!"

As Lin Ye saw these words on the first line, his eyes began to redden. This letter was indeed from his parents.

"Dear Son,

by the time you're reading this, you should be six years old, having completed your Martial Soul awakening. You must have worked hard to achieve the first stage of the Nine Yang Divine Skill your father left you, and for that, both your mother and I are immensely proud of you.

We had to go to a very dangerous place, and as a result, we couldn't bring you with us. Leaving you in the care of others, unable to witness your childhood, is our greatest regret. But life is full of uncertainties.

Since you have this letter, it means you've also likely obtained the three martial arts techniques I left for you—Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill, Phoenix Dance Six Illusions, and Dugu Nine Swords. These three were carefully chosen for you.

Dragon Elephant Prajna will help you acquire better Soul Rings in the future. Phoenix Dance Six Illusions is an excellent movement technique—perfect for travel and combat alike. Sometimes, running away isn't cowardly; staying alive means you always have a chance.

Dugu Nine Swords is an extraordinary sword technique. Train diligently, and even if you only grasp the basics, combined with your Nine Yang Divine Skill, you'll be able to hold your own against a Soul Grandmaster. And if you use your Golden Sword Martial Soul, even a Soul Grandmaster would struggle to defeat you.

However, the Golden Sword Martial Soul consumes a great deal of True Qi. To sustain its use, you should combine it with your Nine Spirit Heavenly Begonia Martial Soul to last longer in battle.

Your current Martial Souls—the Nine Spirit Heavenly Begonia and Golden Sword—are the ones you can already access. The Golden Sword comes from me, while the Nine Spirit Heavenly Begonia is from your mother. But I've also passed down another Martial Soul to you—an immensely powerful Beast Martial Soul. To fully awaken it, you'll need to master the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill as soon as possible.

Now that you're six and have awakened your Martial Souls, it's time for you to begin your journey to becoming a Soul Master and attend a Soul Master Academy. Since you've inherited our Martial Souls, you're undoubtedly born with full innate Soul Power.

At the primary Soul Master Academy, you'll need to absorb your first Soul Ring to officially graduate. But before that, you must study the basics about Soul Beasts and the world of Soul Masters. Beneath this letter, inside the wooden box, you'll find two books. Read them thoroughly, and they'll give you a solid understanding of both.

The primary Soul Master Academy requires six years of study, but I believe you don't need to stay there for that long. With the martial arts techniques I've left you, the academy won't offer much beyond basic education.

Once you've learned what you need from the academy, you should leave and begin your journey across the continent.

When that time comes, you'll be a Soul Master, and you can attempt to break the next layer of the jade pendant's seal. You'll gain more of the items I left for you, which will ensure your safety while you travel.

Son, remember, 'A sharpened blade must be honed, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from bitter cold.'

Staying at the academy alone won't make you strong. And mastering the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill requires a great deal of wealth. If you remain at the academy, you won't be able to make much progress. That's why I hope you'll explore the continent, meet different people, and experience the world.

If you need to make money quickly, consider joining a Soul Hunting Group in places like the Soul Beast Forest. With the supportive abilities of your Nine Spirit Heavenly Begonia Martial Soul, many groups will be eager to have you.

But remember, never reveal your other Martial Souls unless absolutely necessary. And if anyone sees them, only trusted friends can be spared from secrecy.

When absorbing Soul Rings, start with the Nine Spirit Heavenly Begonia. Don't attach Soul Rings to your other Martial Souls until you've mastered the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill to a certain degree. Dugu Nine Swords will allow your Golden Sword Martial Soul to unleash its power without relying on Soul Rings for now.

This letter was written before we left, so there may be things you don't fully understand. That's perfectly fine. If you have any more questions about Soul Beasts or Soul Masters, read the books I've left for you.

Remember, we love you.

Mom and Dad."

After finishing the letter, Lin Ye gently set it down. His eyes were red, and his voice caught in his throat.

So it was true. His parents hadn't abandoned him.

Fighting back tears, Lin Ye carefully folded the letter and held it tightly in his hand.

Opening the rest of the wooden box, Lin Ye peeled back a thin layer inside and found two thick books lying beneath.

One was titled The Complete Guide to Soul Beasts, and the other was Common Knowledge of the Soul Master World.

After placing the folded letter back into the box, Lin Ye stored both the books and the box inside his jade pendant.

Looking up at the sky, he noticed it was nearly noon.

He had spent quite a bit of time here and figured it was time to head back.
