"So that was how it was."
"Across the entire continent, there were as few as five or six and as many as a dozen or so people with Innate Full Soul Power every hundred years. Basically, the number would never exceed twenty. On average, one appeared only every five, ten, or even twenty years. Its rarity was obvious."
Chen Xiaojun secretly gave him a thumbs-up. As expected of a family with such an ancient inheritance. In the original Douluo I, the Three Peerless Douluo, Gu Rong, and possibly Golden Crocodile Douluo belonged to the previous century. In the century of the protagonist group, there were Tang San, Oscar, Feng Xiaotian, Qian Renxue, Bibi Dong, and possibly Tang Hao—only six. Xiao Wu was a soul beast, so she didn't count as human.
There were probably others too, maybe hidden and never revealed. After all, this was a real world. But in any case, what grandfather said was true.
"In conclusion, as long as soul masters with Innate Full Soul Power grew up, they basically all became Titled Douluo. If they belonged to small factions, then that was one thing. Most likely, they would only become ordinary Titled Douluo."
"But if they came from top Martial Soul families with long-standing inheritances, breaking through to Super Douluo was very possible. If that were all, some major factions might still be able to tolerate it."
"But for inherited families like ours, which have a long history and the foundation of a Peerless Douluo inheritance, the situation was different again."
"If one broke through to Peerless Douluo, then one was already a demigod, possessing the ability to change the overall balance of the continent."
"That was not something those major factions would allow!!!"
"All the bustle in the world is for profit; all the clamor in the world is for gain. Everything comes down to the word 'interest.' Jin Wengong blocked their path." Chen Xiaojun breathed out and sighed.
Everyone shuddered, staring straight at Chen Xiaojun.
"All the bustle in the world is for profit; all the clamor in the world is for gain. Those words cut to the heart of it," Chen Hong sighed inwardly.
Grandfather looked deeply at him, thinking, A six-year-old child actually has this kind of insight. He really is monstrous. The ancestors truly blessed us. My Chen Family has a successor!
"Our Chen Family once had Peerless Douluo among our ancestors?"
"Yes. Ancestor Xi Li and Ancestor Fei Yi were both Peerless Douluo."
"As the first Intermediate Ancestor, Ancestor Xi Li slew the Evil Church and the Crimson Church's Grand Elder, who was at the Peerless Douluo level. He played a decisive role in that catastrophe, changed the mainstream Soul Master World's view of our Chen Family, and had us accepted again."
"As the Restoration Ancestor, Ancestor Fei Yi led the destruction of the Heaven Holding Sect, the overlord sect of the world at the time. He shook the entire Soul Master World, and it could be said that he truly changed the structure of the continent."
"The two of them shared three traits. First, they both had Innate Full Soul Power. Second, their Martial Souls possessed an Ultimate Attribute and were Super Martial Souls. Third, they both possessed 100,000 Year Soul Rings. It was possible that all three helped them break through the final bottleneck to become Peerless Douluo."
"According to the insights left behind by Ancestor Fei Yi, among those factors, Innate Full Soul Power played the main role in breaking through the final bottleneck. Of the three, it was the most important."
"As for Martial Soul sublimation and 100,000 Year Soul Rings, those could be obtained through acquired opportunities, but Innate Full Soul Power could only depend on luck."
"Unfortunately, both ancestors had Innate Full Soul Power, so their experiences were not very suitable for soul masters like us who were born with Innate Soul Power at rank eight or nine. Over the past several hundred years,"
"our Chen Family has had Level 97 Peak Douluo, and we have had Level 98 Supreme Douluo, but no one has broken through to Peerless Douluo."
"In addition, Ancestor Fei Yi passed away too long ago, so later generations were unable to personally experience the might of a Peerless Douluo."
"For the sake of breaking through, several generations of ancestors repeatedly challenged Peerless Douluo, hoping to find a path for later generations—a path for soul masters without Innate Full Soul Power to reach Peerless Douluo, a path that belonged solely to our Sword Dao Chen Family."
"But the results were often unsatisfactory. Some were even severely injured and died. It could be said that they died as martyrs for the Chen Family!"
Hearing this, Chen Xiaojun stood solemnly and declared in a resounding voice, "May the ancestors be remembered through the ages!" After speaking, he bowed toward the main hall.
A trace of admiration flashed through Chen Yu's eyes. As if blessed with sudden understanding, he also stepped forward and bowed toward the main hall. "May the ancestors be remembered through the ages!"
Seeing this, everyone likewise rose, bowed, and chanted in a long voice, "May the ancestors be remembered through the ages!"
"Grandfather, I will definitely become a Peerless Douluo. I will definitely find a viable path for our Chen Family, to comfort the spirits of our ancestors in heaven!" Chen Xiaojun secretly pondered, In that case, among the protagonist group, those few whose soul power wasn't full might have eaten immortal herbs to make up for Innate Full Soul Power. Or perhaps divine inheritances made up for their Innate Soul Power. Or maybe they could ignore that point.
Chen Yu, his grandfather, nodded with a gratified smile. "Rest and adjust yourself today. Starting tomorrow, come to the Martial Arts Hall beside the Ancestral Hall. Your second granduncle will begin teaching you knowledge about Martial Souls."
"Grandfather, I already have full soul power. Aren't we setting out to hunt soul beasts and obtain a soul ring?"
"Haha, good lad. Yours is a Mutated Martial Soul. Do you understand your own Martial Soul Traits? Do you know which soul beasts are suitable for you? Besides, have you decided what type of soul master you want to become?" Second granduncle Chen Cong said with a laugh.
These three soul-searching questions left Chen Xiaojun stunned. Sure enough, a top Martial Soul inheritance family really is different. They're much more rigorous than the academy in the original work. They're not rushing to add a soul ring.
Second granduncle thought Chen Xiaojun was worried about something and said, "Don't worry. Although you haven't added a soul ring, if you continue cultivating, your soul power will still be stored up and released after you attach a soul ring. There's no need to fuss over such a short amount of time and add a soul ring at random."
"Your grandnephew understands."
"Xiao'er, go back first. Grandfather still has matters to attend to here," grandfather instructed.
"All right. Elders, Xiaojun will take his leave." Chen Xiaojun bowed and slowly withdrew from the side hall.
After watching him leave, Chen Cong asked, "Back then, was the mastermind who plotted against Jin Wengong found?"
"It was either this side or the other, that's all," Chen Wenchao said slowly.
"We'll remember this grudge. It will be settled in the future." Chen Yu raised his hand slightly. "For now, let's first talk about the news Xun Er brought back..."
Chen Xiaojun returned to his family's courtyard. His elder brother Chen Jianjun was not home; he should have been cultivating with the clansmen at the Martial Arts Hall. Ye Xiuxin was busy in the kitchen, carefully preparing the Awakening Feast.
On Douluo Continent, on the day of a Martial Soul awakening, people would always set out a table of abundant dishes. If the Martial Soul awakening succeeded, it served as a celebration feast. If the awakening turned out poorly, it served as comfort for the child. This was called the Awakening Feast, and the great roc Chen Jianjun had brought back happened to be put to use.
Her son had awakened a Top Martial Soul no weaker than the Seven Kill Sword, and it was Innate Full Soul Power as well. The smile on Ye Xiuxin's face had never stopped, and she was in excellent spirits.
The moon at night was clear and bright, lightly scattering pure silver radiance like water.
Chen Xiaojun watched the Sword God Pearl in his hand spin without stopping. Its brilliant, colorful hues gave it a smooth, rounded feeling, as if it were vying with the bright moon in the sky.
