At this moment, Wang Tian started to calculate in his mind. If he were to go to the urban management team to get the items, with his current strength, he could definitely crush them. However, the urban management team is part of the government, and he couldn't just use force. It seemed he would have to rely on his senior sister. She was a police officer, and the urban management team would probably give her some face.

"How come you haven't gone yet?"

"Do you think it's that easy to get? To deal with these terrifying beings, I need to make a detailed and meticulous plan."

"You have a point." Dugu Yuntian said, feeling a bit embarrassed. He had been too hasty.

"I'll go cook first. You can watch TV for a while." Wang Tian walked back into the kitchen. The dishes he had made earlier were all eaten by him, and if he didn't cook again, his sister wouldn't have anything to eat when she came back.

"You go ahead and get busy." Dugu Yuntian sat back on the sofa, lying down in the most comfortable position, resting his legs on the small table in front of him, and started watching TV. After a while, he found this position not very comfortable. Seeing a pillow on the chair, he waved his hand, and the pillow flew over to him.

At this moment, a faint sound came from the door lock, and then a girl with long hair walked in.

"N... NPC!"

Dugu Yuntian was startled, and cold sweat broke out on his face. If he used his interdimensional abilities and was seen by an NPC, the system would reduce his attributes by half as punishment!

Thinking of the terrifying punishment, his body went limp, and he fell directly under the sofa, staring in fear at the beautiful NPC girl in front of him.

Wang Yu was taken aback at first, then she laughed, her curved eyebrows forming a crescent moon, her large eyes becoming almond-shaped. "Am I that scary?"

"Brother, where are you?" Wang Yu put her schoolbag on another sofa and called out.

"You can watch TV for a while. I'm cooking." Wang Tian said from the kitchen.

Wang Yu went directly to the kitchen and asked, "Brother, who is this person? Why is he in our house?"

"He's a homeless man I picked up on the street. Just treat him like air and ignore him." Wang Tian whispered.

"Who are you calling a homeless man? I am a noble..." Although Wang Tian spoke softly, Dugu Yuntian heard every word clearly. With his martial god strength, he could sense the buzzing of mosquitoes within ten miles.

"What does he want to say?" Wang Yu asked curiously.

"Ignore him, he's a lunatic!"

Lunatic!?! How dare he call me a lunatic! Dugu Yuntian wanted to explode. But considering Wang Yu, the NPC, was there, he had to suppress his anger. Even if he did explode, Wang Tian, a level 4 newbie, wouldn't be able to hit him.

Wang Tian made a few more dishes and started eating with his sister at the table.

"What are you looking at? There's no food for you!" Wang Tian saw Dugu Yuntian staring at the table and gave him a disdainful look.

"Brother, this homeless man looks quite pitiful. Give him something to eat." Wang Yu, seeing Dugu Yuntian swallowing his saliva, felt a surge of sympathy.

"Do you think I haven't given him anything? He already ate a plate of sweet and sour ribs, a bowl of braised pork knuckle, a plate of braised pork, and a large bowl of soup. Should I give him more?" Wang Tian said.

"Eat so much!?" Wang Yu was surprised and then said, "So this person is a glutton."

Hearing this, Dugu Yuntian rolled his eyes in anger, almost fainting.

In the end, Wang Yu couldn't bear it and threw him a chicken leg like she was throwing it to a dog. Dugu Yuntian gratefully accepted it.

After eating, Wang Yu watched TV for a while. When it was time to go, she picked up her schoolbag and was about to leave.

"Goodbye, brother!"

She then waved to Dugu Yuntian, "Goodbye, homeless man!" and walked out.

"This NPC is quite cute." Once Wang Yu was far enough away, Dugu Yuntian said.

"Of course." Wang Tian was very pleased that someone praised his sister.

"Not only is she beautiful, but in our martial soul plane, there are very few NPCs as beautiful as her. Her figure is also top-notch, and she's still a virgin... When do you plan to 'take her down'?" Dugu Yuntian could tell this female NPC was still a virgin.

"Take down my sister? She's my real sister." Wang Tian said irritably.

"You're from the Divine Eagle Star, and you came to Earth to play a game. The Divine Eagle Star is millions of light-years away from Earth. How can you have any blood relation with an NPC?" Dugu Yuntian rolled his eyes.

"None of your business! If you keep talking nonsense, I won't get your equipment." Wang Tian was angry.

"Alright, I'll shut up." Dugu Yuntian had to surrender when Wang Tian threatened him with the equipment.

Wang Tian ignored this unscrupulous guy, picked up the remote control, and changed the channel.

The commercial on TV was over, and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" continued.

This scene showed Guan Yu warming wine and slaying Hua Xiong. Cao Cao poured a cup of wine for Guan Yu, saying he wanted to see him off. Guan Yu proudly stroked his three-foot-long beard: "Put the wine aside, I'll be back soon."

With the sound of drums, Guan Yu rode his horse out of the city gate.

"Since I can't ask you about this NPC, is the scene on TV real or fictional?" Dugu Yuntian suddenly said.

"Romance of the Three Kingdoms" describes a period of history in our country over a thousand years ago, most of which is real." Wang Tian said.

"That's strange. The people on TV clearly have martial souls. Was Earth once a martial soul plane?" Dugu Yuntian muttered to himself.

"You mean they have martial souls!?" Wang Tian was surprised. Martial souls for the Three Kingdoms generals!? This was beyond his comprehension.

"Would I, a martial god from the martial soul plane, be wrong? For example, the one with the large knife, his martial soul is quite good." Dugu Yuntian pointed to Guan Yu.

"What martial soul does he have? Tell me." Wang Tian was interested.

"His martial soul is a large turtle!" Dugu Yuntian said.

"A large turtle!?" Guan Yu's martial soul is a big turtle! Wang Tian was speechless, "Are you kidding me?"

"What's the point of kidding you? Why do you look so pained? A turtle martial soul is actually a pretty good one. Not only does it have extremely high defense, but when it attacks, it's like a turtle looking for food, with its head extending out like lightning. A turtle martial soul is both offensive and defensive..." Dugu Yuntian was puzzled by Wang Tian's strange expression and rolled his eyes.

Wang Tian was stunned. Listening to his explanation, it seemed to make sense. Thinking about it, it did have some logic. If Guan Yu had a turtle martial soul, his preferences and experiences could be explained.

First, he ran slowly, so he loved horses. Cao Cao gave him a beautiful woman, and he didn't like it, but when he gave him the Red Hare, he was extremely grateful. Even Cao Cao was puzzled: Why do you value animals more than people? Second, when Hua Tuo was scraping the poison from his bone, he showed no signs of pain and even played chess with Ma Liang with his other hand. This can be well explained by Guan Yu having a turtle martial soul. Your knife, no matter how sharp, can't hurt a turtle's shell. Of course, the most important point is: he always wore a green hat!

This method is called using poison to fight poison. It's like a student with poor grades, where teachers want to scold you every time they see you, but if you wear a sign saying "I'm a poor student," the teachers won't bother you. Similarly, Guan Yu wearing a green hat can effectively prevent his wife from being unfaithful.

"What martial soul does Hua Xiong have?" Wang Tian asked.

"You mean the one Guan Yu killed? His martial soul is a wild chicken!" Dugu Yuntian said casually.

"Wild chicken?"

As they were talking, the TV scene changed. Lü Bu came out of the Hu Lao Pass, holding his halberd, looking extremely imposing.

"This person's martial soul is incredible, and it's even a dual martial soul!" Dugu Yuntian praised sincerely.

Of course, the first person of the Three Kingdoms period wouldn't be any less. Wang Tian thought and asked, "What martial soul does he have?"

"A flying horse and a dragon!" Dugu Yuntian said, "His dual martial soul works perfectly together. If he were in our plane, he would definitely grow into a martial god!"

Lü Bu, the hero among men, and Red Hare, the horse among horses! Indeed, he is not lacking.

At this moment, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei came out and surrounded Lü Bu. Lü Bu showed no fear under their attack! The battle of the Three Heroes against Lü Bu began.

"What martial soul does Zhang Fei have? The one with the snake spear." Wang Tian knew Dugu Yuntian didn't recognize Zhang Fei, so he described his characteristics.

"A black leopard."

"What about the other one?" Among Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, Wang Tian had seen Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, leaving only Liu Bei.

"His martial soul is... hahaha!" Suddenly, Dugu Yuntian burst into laughter, pointing at Liu Bei, "He... is... this martial soul! I'm dying of laughter! Hahaha!" He laughed so hard he bent over.

"What martial soul does he have? Is it that funny?" Wang Tian frowned and asked.

"Look for yourself!"

Dugu Yuntian finally managed to suppress his laughter and sent a thread of divine consciousness to Wang Tian's mind. Wang Tian couldn't help but laugh when he saw the image, finding it increasingly hilarious and joining in the laughter.

Liu Bei actually had this martial soul! No wonder... no wonder he followed so many warlords when he was not in power, and none of them tried to kill him. No wonder Tao Qian offered him the territory of Xu Province three times! And the famous generals like Zhao Yun, Zhuge Liang, and Pang Tong were completely loyal to him from the moment they met. Even the hunter Liu An killed his wife to feed him meat... This martial soul explained all the incredible things that happened to Liu Bei.

Wang Tian originally wanted to ask about the martial souls of others, but Dugu Yuntian was getting impatient. "When are you going to help me get my equipment back?" Dugu Yuntian reminded him, fearing he would forget the main task.

"Alright, I'll go now."

It was afternoon, and if he went too late, the urban management team would probably be off duty.

"If I come back late this afternoon, don't bully my sister." Wang Tian said as he walked out the door.

"Do you think I have the guts to provoke an NPC from another dimension?" Dugu Yuntian rolled his eyes.

"I don't think you do." Wang Tian ignored him and left the house. He decided to drive to the police station to find his senior sister and then go with Li Shuang to the urban management team to get his 'equipment' back.

While driving, Wang Tian thought about the TV show. Dugu Yuntian said the generals of the Three Kingdoms period had martial souls, which probably wasn't nonsense. According to "Records of the Three Kingdoms," these mighty generals could take the head of a general from an army of a million as easily as taking something from a pocket. Without martial souls, how could mere mortals do that?

When Zhao Yun fought at Changban Slope, he entered and exited Cao Cao's camp seven times without a scratch. Could he have done that without a martial soul? When he entered and exited the camp, he wasn't alone; he was carrying the burden of A Dou.

He originally wanted to ask about Zhao Yun and Zhuge Liang's martial souls, but the show hadn't reached the episodes where they appeared.

If the Three Kingdoms period was a time when martial souls were prevalent, then the Shang Dynasty, when Jiang Ziya sealed the gods, should have been a time when cultivation was prevalent. In ancient times, there were powerful figures like Nüwa, Fuxi, and Donghuang, which should have been the most abundant period of earth's primordial energy.

The closer to modern times, the thinner the 'primordial energy' on Earth became, and by the modern era, it was almost completely gone. What happened to Earth?
