Progenitor of Power

Chapter 4: Progenitor of Power

"Roar!" A dragon's cry erupted, echoing relentlessly throughout the room. Even Grandmaster, waiting outside, could not help raising his brows. "What a powerful Martial Soul fluctuation!"

Sisi, who was responsible for awakening Lu Yuan's Martial Soul, fared even worse. A dignified Soul Grandmaster had actually been overwhelmed by the Martial Soul's Aura, collapsing face-down onto the floor.

Lu Yuan's eyes were tightly shut. Behind him loomed an enormous golden dragon, its radiant body seemingly forged from gold, dense muscles embodying the ultimate aesthetic of power. Its pair of golden dragon wings spread wide, stirring gusts of wind.

A diamond-shaped dragon scale on Lu Yuan's forehead glimmered with golden light, while tiny golden scales crept up both sides of his cheeks. A powerful force filled his body—this was the power bestowed by his Martial Soul.

"Ding. It has been detected that the host's Martial Soul has awakened. The Sign-in System is now activating!"

"Host information is as follows:"

Host: Lu Yuan

Age: Six

Martial Soul: Golden Dragon

Level: Innate Full Soul Power

Soul Rings: None

Soul Bones: None

Skills: Qingqi Sutra, Phoenix Dance Six Illusions, Mountain Sea Fist, Vast Sea Spear Art

Items: None

"Sign-in Task issued. Sign-in location: Papal Hall. Time limit: six months. Please complete the Sign-in Task as soon as possible!"

"System, you're done playing dead?" Awakening a Super Spirit like the Golden Dragon had already filled Lu Yuan with joy. With the system officially activating as well, it truly was a double blessing.

"The sign-in location is the Papal Hall. This task won't be easy. Looks like I'll have to join Spirit Hall after all!" Lu Yuan thought to himself.

His original plan had been to follow in the footsteps of Tang San, the protagonist of the original story. After all, protagonists enjoyed profound fortuitous opportunities, and since Lu Yuan was familiar with how the plot unfolded, it would be even easier for him to obtain some opportunities. But now, this Sign-in Task was something he had no choice but to complete. He had to join Spirit Hall.

Lu Yuan opened his eyes. The Golden Dragon's Aura had gradually receded. Such an imposing Aura only appeared during the awakening of a Martial Soul. Now that the awakening was complete, it naturally withdrew inward, though that tyrannical Dragon Might had never disappeared.

Lu Yuan was somewhat puzzled as to why he had awakened a Martial Soul like the Golden Dragon. Still, no matter what, the Golden Dragon was a top-tier Martial Soul.

On Grandmaster's Martial Soul ranking list, the Golden Dragon ranked first among the legendary Martial Souls. This showed just how highly he regarded the Golden Dragon.

"Grandmaster will surely be overjoyed!" A Super Spirit like the Golden Dragon existed only in legends. To a fanatical Martial Soul researcher like Grandmaster, its appearance was no less tempting than a lecher seeing a peerless beauty.

"Looks like I won't have any peace for a while!" Lu Yuan shook his head helplessly.

Given Grandmaster's personality, he would never rest until he had thoroughly investigated the Golden Dragon from beginning to end. Having known Grandmaster since childhood, Lu Yuan understood this all too well.

"Y-you... what Martial Soul is that?" Lingering fear remained on Sisi's face. The Golden Dragon's violent Aura had nearly torn her Martial Soul apart. That absolute suppression came from deep within her bloodline, the natural oppression of a higher life-form toward a lower one.

"The Progenitor of Power Golden Dragon," Lu Yuan said calmly.

"Golden Dragon, a dragon-type Martial Soul. No wonder it's so powerful!" Realization appeared on Sisi's face. As an ordinary Soul Grandmaster, she naturally knew nothing about the Golden Dragon Spirit, but that did not stop her from recognizing it as a powerful Martial Soul.

Leaving aside the immense Dragon Might from earlier, the name of the Martial Soul alone—Golden Dragon—made it undoubtedly a dragon-type Martial Soul.

On Douluo Continent, whether it was a Martial Soul or a Soul Beast, anything connected to dragons was unquestionably far stronger than ordinary Martial Souls and Soul Beasts. This was the shared understanding of all Soul Masters across the continent.

"Little friend, shall we test your Soul Power?" Sisi's attitude had improved considerably. If she had previously admired Lu Yuan's appearance, she now respected his talent.

Looking at the crystal ball before him, Lu Yuan gently placed his hand upon it.

A suction force came from the crystal ball, and the Soul Power within Lu Yuan surged into it like a tide.

As Lu Yuan's Soul Power poured in, the crystal ball began to emit an intense glow. Blue light filled the entire room.

"Heavens, it's actually Innate Full Soul Power!" Sisi's face was filled with shock. A dragon-type Martial Soul and Innate Full Soul Power—this was a true genius.

Lu Yuan casually withdrew his hand, his expression utterly calm. For a Martial Soul like the Golden Dragon, wasn't Innate Full Soul Power only natural? It would have been strange if it were not.

"Little friend, would you be willing to join our Spirit Hall?" Urgency filled Sisi's face. If she could recruit a Soul Master with a dragon-type Martial Soul and Innate Full Soul Power for Spirit Hall, she would receive an enormous reward. It would be greatly beneficial to her future.

Lu Yuan fell silent and said nothing. He did want to join Spirit Hall, but the time was not right yet. Sisi's status was still too low. What he wanted was for his talent to reach the ears of Spirit Hall's upper ranks.

Only by alerting those at the highest level would he have a chance to enter the Papal Hall. And he believed that, with the Golden Dragon Spirit and Innate Full Soul Power, he absolutely possessed the qualifications.

Such a person had to at least hold some influence in this Spirit Hall Branch, someone who could directly report the news to higher-ranking members of Spirit Hall. Sisi was clearly not such a person.

"Could I go back and think it over?" Lu Yuan did not refuse. Instead, he chose to delay.

"Of course. Spirit Hall will always welcome you!" Lu Yuan had not joined outright, which disappointed Sisi somewhat, but he had not refused either. She still held great expectations.

"This is Spirit Hall's certificate. Keep it safe!" Sisi swiftly completed the certificate, then opened the door. The two of them walked out together.

"How did it go? What Martial Soul did you awaken?" Grandmaster stepped forward and asked.

"Hehe, this little brother awakened a dragon-type Martial Soul, and he even has the rare Innate Full Soul Power!" Sisi said with a smile.

"A dragon-type Martial Soul? What specific kind of dragon Martial Soul?" Grandmaster looked at Lu Yuan rather than asking Sisi. Clearly, this female Soul Master did not understand Martial Souls.

"The Progenitor of Power Golden Dragon," Lu Yuan said.

"What? The Golden Dragon?" Grandmaster suddenly shouted, drawing the attention of everyone in Spirit Hall.

With everyone staring at him, Grandmaster felt a little embarrassed. He said softly, "Xiao Yuan, let's talk after we get back."

Lu Yuan nodded and followed Grandmaster outside.

At that moment, a young man in his twenties entered through Spirit Hall's entrance. He wore a fitted gray outfit and had side-swept bangs. The moment he entered Spirit Hall, he headed toward Sisi. "Sisi, I missed you so much."

Sisi was visibly stunned. "Su Yuntao, you're back?"

"Su Yuntao?" Lu Yuan, who had been walking toward the entrance, halted. The corner of his mouth twitched. "I finally know who this Sisi is!"
