Asura's Gaze, Second Martial Soul

The Plane Consciousness favored Gula greatly, gifting him a large amount of destiny to ensure he rose smoothly and would not die young halfway through. The hardships along the way would serve as training for the child.

Sensing that Gula had no martial soul within his body, it gathered Natural Force and condensed a green source.

She had originally wanted to directly form the martial soul, but under the system's interference, she failed. So she simply took the lazy route and let the child go make his own way.

After completing All of This, the newborn Plane Consciousness expended considerable strength and fell back into slumber, recovering her power and continuing to grow.

Detected plane gift. Converting to points... Conversion failed... Matching reward...

Gula frowned, instinctively unwilling to part with the Natural Consciousness's gift, and refused the system's conversion request.

His consciousness fell into Deep Meditation. Heaven and Earth Origin Energy poured into his body as if it cost nothing, and under the circulation of Mysterious Heaven Skill, it quickly transformed into pure soul power, filling his meridians and dantian.

At the same time, in the Divine Realm.

In the hall of the Divine Realm Committee, the Asura God was busy with the affairs of the Divine Realm when he sensed the shift in destiny on Douluo Star and felt a trace of surprise.

This was not easy. For the Asura God King, who had lived in the Divine Realm for hundreds of millions of years, anything that happened had traces to follow, and was not worth making him feel surprised.

But the sudden appearance of Plane Consciousness on Douluo Star was indeed an unexpected incident he had not anticipated.

"Plane Consciousness was reborn so quickly. As expected of the planet that produced the Dragon God."

Aside from his surprise, the Asura God had no intention of interfering.

Once a Child of Destiny grew up, he would most likely choose to become a god, which would benefit the Divine Realm by increasing its strength.

Therefore, the Divine Realm Committee adopted a policy of noninterference toward Plane Consciousness. As long as Plane Consciousness did not delude itself into breaking free from the Divine Realm's control, no matter how many Children of Destiny it created, it would only be making a Wedding Dress for the Divine Realm.

"However, the person I chose seems to have suffered an undeserved calamity. Some of his destiny has flowed away."

The Asura God pondered slightly, opened the Divine Realm Core, and quietly checked on Tang San. His expression eased a little.

"Even if a God King acts to create a Child of Destiny, in the end, he cannot compare to Plane Consciousness's expertise."

"After the Plane Consciousness made its move, Tang San lost quite a bit of his original plane destiny. But how is that not a blessing in disguise? He obtained Douluo Star's legitimacy and stabilized his own destiny."

"He lost some superficial destiny, that's all. At worst, he'll suffer a little more hardship. This newly born Child of Destiny of Douluo Star and Tang San are friends, so in the end, no accident should occur, and the result will not change."

After seeing the changes in destiny clearly, the Asura God paid it no further attention.

Minor trends could be changed, but the greater trend was irreversible.

A Child of Nature was rare, but most would eventually belong to the Divine Realm. If he had other thoughts, the five God Kings of the Divine Realm were not to be trifled with.

Tang San was incomparably matched with his Asura God position. With the boost from a Child of Destiny, there was no need to interfere; he would definitely walk the path of inheriting the Asura God position.

The Asura God King was full of confidence and continued handling the affairs of the Divine Realm.

Nuoding Academy

"What happened? What a strong wind."

Tang San walked out of Yu Xiaogang's dormitory and looked up at the sky. Seeing the fierce wind sweep the leaves away, he said in surprise.

He had not felt his destiny flowing away. He had only felt his chest tighten for a while, so he decided to come out for some fresh air.

Yu Xiaogang followed him outside the dormitory.

One afternoon was not enough to break Tang San's prejudice against him, but relying on his extensive Soul Beast Knowledge, he still made Tang San's attitude toward him a little more respectful.

"This kind of celestial phenomenon seems to be man-made."

Yu Xiaogang observed for a moment, looking incredulous.

Tang San also noticed something odd. The wind was all heading in one direction, very close to them.

"We'll know if we go take a look."

Tang San and Yu Xiaogang followed the wind to the garden and saw Gula sitting cross-legged in the center of the garden, cultivating.

He was the center of the whirlwind. Countless clear breezes gathered toward him, guarding him, as if clustering around a nature spirit.

Gula's Soul Power Fluctuation had already reached rank fifteen, and faint green light was still gathering toward him from all directions.

"This is..." Yu Xiaogang seemed to have thought of something, but for a moment, he did not dare to be certain.

A black shadow appeared behind them. It was Tang Hao. His tone was complicated as he said:

"Don't disturb him. This is the legendary Deep Meditation, a rare opportunity. He has already reached the level of drawing in the power of heaven and earth."

"Dad." Tang San happily moved closer.

Yu Xiaogang looked at the scruffy, bearded Tang Hao, his brows furrowing. Gradually, realization dawned, and he said in surprise, "You are Clear..."

"Silence." Tang Hao rudely cut Yu Xiaogang off.

Yu Xiaogang was not angry at all. Clear Sky Douluo was his idol.

Amid his excitement, he thought of how Tang San had addressed him, and his speculation about Twin Martial Souls surfaced once again.

If it was the Clear Sky Hammer, wouldn't it be able to form Twin Martial Souls with the Blue Silver King?

But after being struck down by Gula, Yu Xiaogang decided to be steadier this time and slowly let Tang San break free from Gula's influence, then take him as his master.

A quarter of an hour later, Gula slowly woke. The first thing he sensed was that he had broken through to rank sixteen soul power, and that for some reason, there was an additional Martial Soul Origin within his body, seemingly resonating with an item inside the system.

Gula opened the system and checked the prompts it had given while he was meditating.

Host received a gift from the plane. Request to convert it into points has been rejected. Title "Chosen One/Divine Beast Man" automatically Activated. Received a full set of random divine beast rewards.

Affected by the gift from the plane, the random reward has been changed to an adaptive reward. Congratulations, Host, for obtaining Pokémon: Celebi, equipment Time Flower (Level 1), Exclusive Skill Learning Machine *1 (Self-Select)

?

Gula was utterly baffled. What was going on? How had he suddenly received a gift from the plane? And that reward—out of all those ridiculously overpowered, modified Pokémon, why give him a Celebi? What was that supposed to mean?

Wait!

Gula found the Exclusive Skill Self-Select Learning Machine, opened it for a look, closed it, then looked again.

He was sure he had not seen wrong. Celebi was also known as the Time Pokémon, the guardian of the forest, and it possessed the ability of Time-Space Travel.

And among Celebi's exclusive skills, there was indeed a move called Time-Space Travel.

"I remember in the game, the Time-Space Travel move cost a four-digit top-up. Now they're actually giving it to me for free!"

Gula was puzzled. "Is it because of the Plane Consciousness's gift, or because of the title?"

He could not figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it and chose to receive the reward.

In an instant, Celebi appeared, with its green onion-like head and cute, petite body, letting out soft little cries as it fused with the natural origin Within the Body Gula, becoming his Second Martial Soul.

In the distance, Tang San asked in a low voice, "The wind has stopped. Why hasn't Brother Gu woken up yet?"

Tang Hao said calmly, "He's already awake. Perhaps he's stabilizing the Soul Power he just Broke Through."

Yu Xiaogang hesitated for a moment, then said, "But I remember reading in a book that Soul Power gained through Deep Meditation doesn't need cultivation to be stabilized. It's equivalent to having cultivated it oneself, with no side effects at all."

Tang Hao was left speechless. How would he know the details that clearly?

Even Deep Meditation was something Tang Hao had only heard his grandfather mention once when he was young, and he had long since forgotten all the details.
