Xiao Men's Martial Soul
Yu Yuanzhen stroked his beard helplessly and looked at the elders beside him. "If Innate Soul Power above level nine were so easy to awaken, then the birth of the Haotian Twin Stars would not have shaken the world."
During Tang Chen's era, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had been completely suppressed by the Clear Sky Sect for an entire generation. They had finally thought Tang Tian's aptitude was lacking, only for the sect to produce worthy successors in the next generation. Tang Hao and Tang Xiao had both awakened the Clear Sky Hammer with Innate Full Soul Power. Either of them had the potential to become the next Tang Chen.
The Clear Sky Sect's good fortune was something the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan could only envy. Yu Yuanzhen sighed. "Now, the only one we can hope for is Xiao Gang."
How similar was this to his own situation? His brothers, now the four great elders, had talents of only level seven or eight. They had reached the Soul Douluo realm, but only he had entered the ranks of Title Douluo, supporting the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's standing.
Compared to the sect elders' worry and helplessness, Yu Xiaogang was inwardly delighted. His cousins had talents of only level seven or eight. While decent, they were not enough to become the face of one of the Upper Three Sects. With these green leaves to set him off, he would shine brightly enough when it was his turn to awaken.
"Next, Yu Xiaomen."
Upon hearing his name, the elders merely glanced at Yu Xiaomen without holding much hope for him. Although Yu Yuanzhen's blood ran through his veins, his mother, Yun Niang, was not even a Soul Master. How much talent could he awaken? At most, he would be nothing more than an extra.
Yu Xiaomen had long grown accustomed to the sect's cold stares. Yet at this moment, he still could not conceal the excitement in his heart—he could finally awaken his Martial Soul. His father's indifference, the humiliation and tragic death his mother had suffered, and the bullying from the sect's disciples had long planted seeds of hatred in Yu Xiaomen's heart. As long as he became a Soul Master, as long as he possessed Innate Soul Power, then once he had sufficient strength, he intended to leave this cold and heartless sect.
Yu Xiaomen stepped onto the awakening platform and stood still as the awakener helped him awaken his Martial Soul.
Below the platform, Yu Xiaogang watched Yu Xiaomen. He knew there was an eighty or ninety percent chance that Yu Xiaomen's Martial Soul would be the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, and he also knew Yu Xiaomen's awakened Innate Soul Power would not be very high. Even so, Yu Xiaogang could not help but curse viciously in his heart, You bastard born from the bloodline of a servant, which polluted my noble Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon bloodline. Your Martial Soul had better undergo a malignant mutation, and your Innate Soul Power had better be below level three. Trash belongs where trash belongs.
However, Yu Xiaogang's expectations fell through.
A dragon's roar rang through the entire Awakening Hall. Behind Yu Xiaomen emerged the incomparably domineering phantom of a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, its majesty surpassing that of his three cousins who had just awakened their Martial Souls. The elders all looked at Yu Xiaomen in shock and uncertainty.
Yu Xiaogang also stared blankly at Yu Xiaomen, his mind going blank for a moment before he thought, Impossible. Absolutely impossible. That was just an impressive display with no substance.
Filled with excitement, the awakener took out the Crystal Ball. "Come, test your Innate Soul Power."
Yu Xiaomen pressed his hand against the Crystal Ball, his heart full of anticipation. Yu Yuanzhen and the elders all fell silent, holding their breaths as they watched it.
In an instant, dazzling light burst from the Crystal Ball, enveloping the entire Awakening Hall.
"Martial Soul, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. Innate full..." The awakener stared at the Crystal Ball, repeatedly confirming the result before saying, "Innate Soul Power, level 9.5."
Upon hearing this, Yu Yuanzhen sprang to his feet and laughed loudly. "Good, good, good! When I awakened my Martial Soul back then, it was about the same. This child takes after me indeed—he is worthy of being my son!"
"The Sect Leader's bloodline truly is exceptional. Even a child born by a servant possesses such high Soul Power. He is destined to become a Title Douluo in the future, perhaps even touch the level of a Super Douluo," Yu Luoguan praised.
"Xiao Men's Innate Soul Power is already this high. When Xiao Gang awakens his Martial Soul later, won't he astonish everyone?" Yu Luotang said with a chuckle. "It seems the era of twin stars belonging to our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is about to arrive as well."
Everyone present looked at Yu Xiaomen with satisfaction, envy, or jealousy. Only one person—Yu Xiaogang—stared at the light pouring from the Crystal Ball with utter disbelief.
Impossible, absolutely impossible! That guy is a bastard born from a servant. All these years, Mother secretly mixed herbs that would destroy his foundation into his food, and I constantly bullied and suppressed Yu Xiaomen in secret, leaving his innate development incomplete. And you're fucking telling me that even after all that, he can awaken level 9.5 Soul Power?!
Yet no matter how unbelievable reality was, it remained reality. Yu Xiaogang clenched his fists tightly and glared at Yu Xiaomen with resentment. He had kept that fellow around only so this piece of trash could serve as a backdrop to his own brilliance, but he had been careless. That bastard actually possessed such high talent.
Yu Xiaogang had never doubted that he possessed supreme talent, but what could that change? Even if he had Innate Full Soul Power, it would not change the fact that Yu Xiaomen had entered his father's sight, would receive the sect's focused cultivation, and would have a place among future Title Douluo as his greatest rival.
"Next, Yu Xiaogang."
Yu Xiaomen hid his shock and excitement well, then calmly stepped down from the platform.
On the other side, when Yu Xiaogang heard his name called, he put away his shock and displeasure before walking onto the platform.
As Xiao Gang and Xiao Men were about to pass each other, Yu Xiaogang looked coldly at Yu Xiaomen. "Don't get cocky. If a servant's son like you can awaken such high Soul Power, then mine will only be higher."
"Then I wish Elder Brother may awaken the talent of Innate Full Soul Power as you desire." Yu Xiaomen smiled and offered his blessing.
"Don't call me Elder Brother. In the sect, you are to call me Young Master Xiaogang," Yu Xiaogang corrected him.
With that, he turned and walked toward the awakening platform.
At that moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on Yu Xiaogang, filling him with immense pride. So what if Yu Xiaomen has the potential to become a Title Douluo? Isn't the sect's attention still focused on me, Yu Xiaogang? Your talent is high, but mine will only be higher.
Yet even so, Yu Xiaogang's heart remained gloomy. His greatest wish had been for that bastard to remain trash, looking up at him for the rest of his life, but that hope had been shattered. Even if he awakened Innate Full Soul Power, it would not change the sect's regard for Yu Xiaomen. Should I find an opportunity to cripple him?
Once the thought arose, it could no longer be stopped. But Yu Xiaogang also understood that if he wanted to cripple Yu Xiaomen without being punished by the sect laws, he needed to prove that he had even greater value. An Innate Full Soul Power Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon was not enough. He needed to go a step further, awakening the Golden Sacred Dragon Martial Soul like that ancestor.
That's right. Golden Sacred Dragon, Innate Full Soul Power, then cripple Yu Xiaomen and turn that bastard into trash. Yu Xiaogang thought darkly.
As he thought, Yu Xiaogang stepped into the Awakening Array.
