The Hydro Dragon King Is Actually Me!

Lakesius had never imagined that one day, helping someone awaken their Martial Soul would leave him drenched in sweat!

He was completely numb!

"Hiss..."

Lakesius sucked in a cold breath, inwardly calling it terrifying. It was just a Martial Soul awakening—was this really necessary?

Simply maintaining the awakening ceremony had consumed eighty percent of his Soul Power!

"What is going on? What the hell is going on?!"

Neuvillette was like a bottomless pit, continuously absorbing his Soul Power. If it had been anyone else, Lakesius would have cut off the flow long ago—but this was his grandson!

How could he ruin the boy's future?

The stranger the phenomenon, the more powerful the Martial Soul would be after awakening!

But he was about to lose control!

Just as Lakesius was sweating profusely and preparing to leave it to fate, Neuvillette, floating a meter above the ground, changed.

A faint Hydro Blue "figure" appeared behind him. It bore a seventy-percent resemblance to Neuvillette, who was currently awakening his Martial Soul. The figure had a righteous expression, held a "cane," and had two strands of Hydro Blue hair resembling dragon horns amid his white hair...

At the same time, Neuvillette's hair turned from black to white, and two Hydro Blue strands of hair likewise emerged atop his head. They were actually the Hydro Dragon King's dragon horns. However, after the Hydro Dragon King took human form, the shape of his horns had changed from what they had once been. As for the "cane," it did not appear, indicating that it was not part of the Martial Soul.

Lakesius's eyes widened as he muttered in disbelief, "A... a humanoid Mar... Martial Soul?"

Humanoid Martial Souls were not unheard of on Douluo Continent.

They existed, but they were exceedingly rare. Every one of them was incredibly powerful!

The most representative example was Spirit Hall's inherited Martial Soul: the Six-Winged Angel!

Lakesius looked at Neuvillette, then at the figure behind him. They looked alike—far too alike!

It could be said that this figure was Neuvillette after growing up!

"How could this be? Could it be that Little Neuvillette truly has an extraordinary background?"

He could not make sense of it. It was simply too strange.

Since he could not understand it, he stopped dwelling on it. Martial Souls came in all kinds of strange forms. Perhaps this was a Mutated Martial Soul?

On Douluo Continent, anything that could not be explained could be attributed to mutation.

Mutated soul skills, Mutated Martial Souls, mutated soul rings, soul bones, and so on!

Lakesius was already more than satisfied that Neuvillette had successfully awakened his Martial Soul. Why think so much about it?

The Martial Soul had already awakened, so Lakesius no longer needed to maintain the flow of Soul Power.

Just as he was about to cut it off, another abnormal change occurred!

A Hydro Blue "book" slowly appeared before Neuvillette, then landed in his right hand.

Its surface bore wave-like patterns, making it look exceptionally extraordinary.

Lakesius froze. He rubbed his eyes with his left hand, shook his head in disbelief, and muttered, "Tw... Twin Martial Souls?"

First a humanoid Martial Soul, then a book-like Martial Soul—what, what was going on?!

Neuvillette actually had Twin Martial Souls?

Had he stumbled upon a treasure?

At that moment, Neuvillette opened his eyes, still somewhat dazed.

Focalors had not died. She had even transmigrated to Douluo Continent with him. However, she was currently in some trouble and could not maintain her human form. She needed sufficient energy before she could take human form again.

For now, she could only temporarily "reside" in his Sea of Consciousness. Once she gathered enough energy, she would be able to leave his Sea of Consciousness and regain human form.

This was not something that could be accomplished overnight.

Neuvillette felt somewhat heavy and gloomy. Focalors not being dead was a good thing for him. This short-lived wife of his had been his favorite two-dimensional character in his previous life... Ahem.

Well, he had not expected Focalors to actually exist.

"Focalors, I will help you rebuild your body."

Neuvillette silently vowed.

Beyond the house was the sky. At that moment, the drizzling rain stopped, and sunlight pierced through the dark clouds, shining upon the earth once more.

"Little Neuvillette, you still love crying so much!"

Neuvillette did not hear Focalors's teasing words.

"My grandson has the bearing of one who will be invincible!"

At those words, Neuvillette nearly threw out his back. With a jolt, he came back to his senses.

He looked at Lakesius in confusion. What was going on?

The old man was this excited?

Saying that he had the potential to become a Soul Master would have been one thing.

Saying that he had the potential to become a Titled Douluo would have been acceptable too.

But where had this "bearing of one who will be invincible" come from?

Earlier, Neuvillette had yet to recover from learning that Focalors had not died and had transmigrated to Douluo Continent with him, so he had not noticed the changes in himself.

Now, he sensed that his entire body was brimming with strength, and a book had appeared in his right hand...

"Tome of Eternal Flow?"

He knew this book!

Was this not the signature weapon of Neuvillette, the Hydro Dragon King?

What was going on?

That blood-connected feeling was not an illusion.

"My Martial Soul is the Tome of Eternal Flow?"

Neuvillette blinked, then felt that something was wrong. He himself seemed to have changed as well!

He could only feel that the water molecules around him were abnormally active. It was as though he could sense their emotions, gather them, and control them...

"Twin Martial Souls! Grandson, you have the bearing of one who will be invincible!"

After excitedly saying this, Lakesius did not care whether he was drenched in sweat or whether he would embarrass himself before Neuvillette. He directly took a crystal mirror from his Storage Soul Tool and placed it in front of Neuvillette.

Neuvillette: "???"

"Hiss~"

Good heavens, how had he become exactly like Neuvillette, the Hydro Dragon King?

Looking at the figure behind him, he became even more certain of one thing: the other "Martial Soul" was Neuvillette himself!

"Is this... really just a Martial Soul?"

Neuvillette wondered, but unfortunately, the figure behind him would not answer his question.

"No wonder Focalors thought that I was Neuvillette, the Hydro Dragon King..."

Neuvillette silently thought. At that moment, he seemed to understand something.

Under Lakesius's guidance, Neuvillette quickly learned how to withdraw his Martial Soul. Yet strangely, after withdrawing it, his appearance remained exactly the same as when he had undergone Martial Soul Possession.

"Grandson, remember this: unless absolutely necessary, never use your second Martial Soul!"

After saying this, Lakesius seemed to think of something. He shook his head and continued, "No, that is not right. If someone is protecting you and they still cannot stop you from using your second Martial Soul, then using it would not change anything either..."
