Douluo: Marrying a Wife to Become a God, Having Children for Blessings

"Hiss!"

Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu froze in place as if struck by a petrification spell, their eyes filled with shock. Their trembling bodies betrayed the terror within their hearts.

Their minds went utterly blank, leaving only the vision of that terrifying sword light—a strike that split the sea and cleaved the heavens and earth.

Indescribable.

Unimaginable.

Was this Zhou Yi's true power?

Qian Daoliu couldn't help but recall the punch Zhou Yi had delivered to him earlier. It seemed Zhou Yi had indeed held back; he hadn't used his full strength at all.

Had Qian Daoliu faced that sword strike, he would have been cleaved in two.

"High Priestess!"

The panicked cries of Sea Maiden Douluo and the others pulled Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu back to their senses. They turned to look at Zhou Yi, who had long since sheathed his sword and now stood silently.

Their gazes were complicated—tinged with fear and reverence.

Too powerful.

Too monstrous.

Suddenly, plop!

Sea Maiden Douluo and Xiao Bai dived into the ocean. One was a member of the merfolk clan, the other a Devil Soul Great White Shark. In the sea, they were like fish in water, naturally taking the lead in searching for Bo Saixi.

"Avenge the High Priestess!"

Sea Dragon Douluo, Sea Horse Douluo, and the others, their eyes red with fury, charged at Zhou Yi. Even though they knew Zhou Yi's strength was overwhelming, anger burned so fiercely in their hearts that they feared nothing.

"Scram!"

Zhou Yi's cold glare swept over them. Instantly, Sea Dragon Douluo, Sea Horse Douluo, and the other experts trembled as if struck by a heavy blow. Their minds went blank.

This was the Heavenly Stare Calamity, an attack imbued with soul-force.

[TL/N: Changed the simple Eye of Calamity to a "domineering" Heavenly Stare Calamity.]

Naturally, Zhou Yi hadn't used his full power; otherwise, they would have been killed outright.

Even so, the strike left Sea Dragon Douluo and the others bleeding from the corners of their mouths, collapsing to the ground clutching their heads in agony.

Splash! Splash!

At this moment, Sea Maiden Douluo leaped out of the ocean, cradling an unconscious Bo Saixi in her arms.

A deep sword wound ran across Bo Saixi's chest, starting from her right shoulder, slicing through her entire torso, and ending at her left side. The blood soaking her crimson robes made her appear even more ghastly.

She was completely unconscious.

"I'll fight you to the death!"

Xiao Bai lunged at Zhou Yi in fury, but he merely pressed a hand against her head. No matter how she struggled, she couldn't touch him.

"The High Priestess isn't dead yet. Why are you all so agitated? Do you want to save her or not?" Zhou Yi said indifferently.

Yet the crowd's fury did not diminish; instead, it grew even more intense.

The healing-type Soul Masters quickly unleashed their strongest soul skills to heal Bo Saixi.

However, to their astonishment, the wound on Bo Saixi's chest showed no signs of healing. It was as if a mysterious force was actively preventing recovery.

The healing-type Soul Masters frowned in confusion.

Their usually infallible healing soul skills were ineffective.

"The High Priestess' body still harbors the sword intent I left behind. You won't be able to heal her. Leave it to me."

Zhou Yi pushed Xiao Bai aside and walked up to Sea Maiden Douluo. Without hesitation, he reached out and took Bo Saixi from her arms.

"Let go of the High Priestess!"

Sea Maiden Douluo snapped out of her daze and glared at Zhou Yi, just like the others.

"Don't you want to save the High Priestess?"

Zhou Yi pushed Bo Saixi forward slightly. "If you don't, I'll leave."

At his words, the anger on their faces instantly subsided.

Zhou Yi's strength was undeniable.

Even if they risked their lives, they couldn't stop his sword, let alone detain him.

And their healing-type Soul Masters couldn't treat Bo Saixi's injury.

Sea Dragon Douluo, the strongest below Bo Saixi on Sea God Island, stepped forward, cupping his hands respectfully toward Zhou Yi. "Our apologies, Senior. Please, save the High Priestess. Sea God Island will forever be in your debt."

"Don't worry. I've already said I'm here for fun, not to kill anyone."

Zhou Yi cast a faint glance at Sea Dragon Douluo. "I didn't expect my sword strike to be this powerful. But rest assured, with me here, your High Priestess won't suffer any harm."

Hearing his words, the previously furious crowd sighed in relief. Their expressions softened as they looked at Zhou Yi.

"Thank you, Senior. Please take action!"

Everyone cupped their hands respectfully.

Though Zhou Yi appeared young, his strength marked him as a senior in their eyes.

"Find me a quiet place. No one is to disturb me!" Zhou Yi commanded.

"Senior, please follow me!"

Sea Dragon Douluo immediately stepped forward to lead the way.

Sea Horse Douluo, Sea Maiden Douluo, Xiao Bai, Tang Chen, and Qian Daoliu all followed closely behind.

At the City Lord's Mansion, Sea Horse Douluo quickly arranged the finest room for Zhou Yi.

"Alright, all of you, leave. No one is to interrupt me. If anything happens to your High Priestess, don't blame me!" Zhou Yi warned.

"Senior, perhaps Sea Maiden could stay to assist you?" Sea Dragon Douluo suggested hesitantly.

"Then why don't you stay instead?"

Zhou Yi placed Bo Saixi down and prepared to leave.

"Forgive us, Senior. We will leave at once. Please, you must save the High Priestess!"

Although Sea Dragon Douluo and the others were deeply worried, they had no alternative.

Bo Saixi's injuries were severe.

She was unconscious, her condition critical.

The wounds continued to bleed profusely.

Even the healing Soul Masters' techniques proved ineffective, leaving everything reliant on Zhou Yi.

Sea Dragon Douluo led the group out of the room, closing the door behind him.

They stood vigil outside.

Sea Dragon Douluo glanced at Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen and asked, "Do you know why our healing Soul Masters cannot treat the High Priestess' injuries?"

"This must be related to Brother Zhou's unique martial arts!"

Tang Chen pondered for a moment and then replied thoughtfully:

"Brother Zhou practices a self-created martial discipline. His strength comes from what he calls Martial True Qi. While it appears similar to the Soul Power we use, it is fundamentally different. That's likely why your healing Soul Masters cannot mend the High Priestess' wounds."

"Martial arts? Martial True Qi?"

Tang Chen's explanation left Sea Dragon Douluo, Sea Horse Douluo, Sea Maiden Douluo, Xiao Bai, and the other Seagod Island experts utterly bewildered.

Martial arts? Martial True Qi?

What on earth were those?

Especially Xiao Bai.

As a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast, her lifespan was extensive. Once the Sea God's mount, she had accompanied him in his conquests across the oceans for a millennium.

After the Sea God ascended to godhood and departed, she became Sea God Island's guardian beast, living through countless years. Yet she had never heard of anything resembling martial arts.

"Martial arts are entirely Zhou's own creation. Even ordinary people without innate Soul Power can cultivate Martial True Qi through his martial arts techniques, reaching a level comparable to Soul Masters…"

Tang Chen did not hold back, providing them with a broad overview of Zhou Yi's methods.

After all, this information wasn't classified.

It was already widely known across the continent.

"How is that possible?"

"Ordinary people can cultivate?"

The Titled Douluo-level experts of Sea God Island were stunned, their expressions filled with disbelief.

For thousands of years,

The ironclad rule that those without innate Soul Power could not cultivate was deeply ingrained in everyone's understanding.

And now, Zhou Yi's so-called martial arts techniques

Had shattered this ancient precedent in the history of Douluo Continent.

"Martial God Douluo Zhou Yi… Who would have thought he could be so remarkable?"

Sea Maiden Douluo's astonishment gave way to a trace of admiration.

Especially considering that Zhou Yi was only twenty-three years old and had once been dismissed as a possessor of a worthless martial soul with merely half a rank of innate Soul Power.

Yet in less than a year, he had risen to his current status as Martial God Douluo.

With a single sword strike, he had defeated the High Priestess she revered as a deity.

"Why does Zhou Yi sound even more extraordinary than the Sea God himself?"

Xiao Bai, feeling an existential crisis, couldn't reconcile that the rogue who had once ridden on her back was this formidable.

"How exactly is Zhou Yi treating Bo Saixi?"

Qian Daoliu ignored Tang Chen's boasting about Zhou Yi to the Sea God Island experts, his thoughts entirely focused on the room.

"He made all of us leave. He must be up to no good."

The more Qian Daoliu thought about it, the angrier he became.

He felt as if his goddess was slipping away.
