Not only Gu Na'er, Qian Renxue, and Ning Rongrong—everyone encountered their own moment of extreme shock within the illusion.
For example, Dugu Yan picked up two biographies. One was an officially published edition, while the other was handwritten.
Hu Liena learned from ancient texts that the Spirit Hall was an utterly evil organization that committed countless atrocities and sought to enslave everyone, and was ultimately destroyed by the great Sea God.
That's right.
The illusory world Nanggong Lingyun created for the trainees was precisely the Douluo Continent ten thousand years after the original timeline, under the rule of the Tang God-King.
An era in which the Spirit Hall had been annihilated; awakening one's martial soul required payment; even attending school needed a noble's letter of recommendation; soul master subsidies were discontinued; evil soul masters ran rampant across the land; slaughter was everywhere;the people could not survive—most soul masters couldn't either. Only the faith of the Sea God flourished unchecked, while the Tang Clan's lineage ruled eternally.
The illusion continued.
In a mountain village, when it was discovered that the soul master before them intended to raise the awakening fee to twenty gold soul coins, all the villagers fell silent.
Ten coins already required years of risking their lives to scrape together. Twenty coins— even selling themselves wouldn't be enough.
After a moment, seeing the soul master's expression turn impatient, the village chief mustered his courage and tried to send him away:
"Honored Soul Master, our land here is barren and produces almost nothing of value.Twenty gold soul coins is truly beyond us. Could you please—"
Before he could finish, a rough roar cut him off.
"Oh? What's this supposed to mean—are you trying to go back on your word?I heard everything when I came in. You were the ones begging me to help awaken martial souls. Now you want to regret it? Isn't that a little too late?
Either pay twenty gold soul coins to awaken a martial soul, or give me ten as travel expenses—otherwise I'll teach you what it means to insult a soul master.
If you don't have enough money, two families can pool together to awaken one child. Anyway, most of them will be trash with zero soul power—awakening or not makes no difference."
Midway through his tirade, he suddenly kicked the village chief in the chest.
The elderly man, already past fifty, was sent flying several meters, slamming heavily into the wall and going completely still.
After casually killing someone, there wasn't the slightest ripple on the soul master's face, as if it were nothing out of the ordinary.He merely looked at the panicked villagers, the mockery in his eyes growing a little stronger.
The sight instantly ignited Gu Na'er's fury.
She clenched her fists, her chest heaving.
However, she wasn't blinded by anger. Instead, she quickly retreated back into the house and carefully assessed her current condition—soul power, martial soul, cultivation methods, divine artifacts, and so on.
Genius Training Camp Manual, Article Thirteen: Remain calm at all times.Article Sixteen: Know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated.
As expected—six years old, martial soul not yet awakened, no trace of cultivating any martial techniques. The Silver Dragon Spear and soul tools were out of the question.
But before long, as she meditated, she gradually sensed a faint strand of soul power scattered through her meridians.
And for a monster who ranked overwhelmingly first in nearly every project of the Genius Training Camp, having soul power alone was already enough to do many things.
Gu Na'er rummaged around the house for a moment, removed the wooden handle from a grass-cutting sickle, tucked the blade into her clothes,then walked out openly toward the middle-aged soul master, her face completely expressionless.
Seeing it was just a child, the man let his guard down entirely. Thinking she wanted to awaken her martial soul, his face lit up with delight.
"Hey, you're here to awaken your martial soul? Hurry up and take out the money."
But the very next second, the person before him vanished into thin air.
Flash Step!Instant Burst!
Gu Na'er silently recited the names of the most basic soul power circulation techniques. Her feet flickered lightly—in an instant she moved from the front of the soul master to his side. Another flicker, and she was already behind him.
In a split second, she gripped the rusty sickle blade with both hands. Power surged from her legs through her waist, and she drove it viciously into the man's lower back.
Then Flash Step activated a third time. She landed empty-handed several meters behind him, preventing herself from being caught in any enraged AOE backlash.
"Ah—!"
The soul master let out a scream of agony.
Under the intense pain, forget resisting— even the soul rings he would normally release to show off disappeared automatically.
Gu Na'er had expected a proper fight would be needed to fully subdue him. Seeing this, she was deeply dissatisfied and cursed coldly:
"Trash."
"You… you're a soul master? A soul master so young—who… who exactly are you?"
His kidney had taken a devastating blow. The man's face twisted in pain, flushed red, his speech broken and stuttering.
"You'd better not move. Otherwise, you'll die. Understood?"
"Understood, understood, completely understood. I guarantee I won't move."
Gu Na'er took the awakening stones from his backpack and arranged them into a simple hexagram formation.Standing inside it, she said coldly:
"Inject soul power."
Now that she could already sense soul power, even without help she could awaken naturally after cultivating for a while.But she didn't want to wait—she urgently wanted to know what had happened to this world.
The soul master stared blankly at the bizarre scene, his brain almost crashing.
You've already defeated a two-ring Great Soul Master—yet you haven't even awakened your martial soul?
But seeing the little girl's cold gaze, clearly not an act, and feeling the sickle blade still embedded in his back,he ultimately endured the pain and obediently complied.
Moments later, a silver giant dragon soared into the air. Familiar power returned.Gu Na'er immediately finished off the middle-aged man with a single move.
Then she turned to the terrified villagers and promised:
"Within one month, I'll come back and help all of you awaken your martial souls for free."
Just as she was about to set off to hunt a soul beast,a young man among the villagers—dressed relatively neatly and decently—suddenly stepped forward and warned her:
"Child, don't come back. Never come back. No matter what happens, remember what I'm about to say—never come back."
Having never experienced much of the darkness of human nature, Gu Na'er didn't really understand what he meant.But out of gratitude for his kindness, she still nodded instinctively.
Time passed quickly within the illusion.
In the blink of an eye, she had re-entered the cultivation of the Longevity Art and, after countless hardships, successfully hunted a seven-hundred-year water-attribute alligator dragon—essentially, a crocodile.
The skill effect was, of course, far inferior to the elemental control soul ring bestowed by her true self,but it was more than enough to break through her bottleneck and allow her to continue cultivating.
Remembering her promise, Gu Na'er planned to return to the village to help everyone awaken their martial souls.However, while resting at a teahouse, she accidentally overheard nearby patrons talking.
"Did you hear? Another village was wiped out. Over a hundred households—no survivors."
"Damn those evil soul masters."
"This time it wasn't an evil soul master. Evil soul masters drain blood and leave dried corpses behind.But the people in that village weren't like that—their bodies were mutilated beyond recognition, as if someone was venting their rage."
Gu Na'er suddenly recalled the warning from the village chief's son. Suppressing her fear, she asked:
"What's the name of that village? Where is it?"
"Han Family Gully. It should be over a hundred li north of here.My aunt has relatives in the neighboring village—they came back so terrified their minds were nearly shattered."
