Martial Soul Awakening Day

Douluo Continent, Spirit City.

Worship Hall, main hall.

The level-98 Golden Crocodile Douluo looked at the boy before him, his aged, clouded eyes brimming with affection and fondness.

"Feng'er, the Golden Crocodile Clan possesses the most powerful defensive martial soul on Douluo Continent."

"Once you awaken your martial soul, I believe you will surely surpass me and bring new glory to the Golden Crocodile Clan!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo spoke with a smile. Although the Golden Giant Crocodile martial soul was the strongest defensive martial soul on Douluo Continent, it had always been passed down through a single line. Unlike the Elephant Armor Sect and Defense Clan, they did not produce many descendants, which was why their fame was not particularly great.

Jin Lingfeng looked at his grandfather, Golden Crocodile Douluo, a faint smile always resting on his lips as he nodded.

"Rest assured, Grandpa. Once my martial soul awakens, I will cultivate diligently and never disappoint your expectations."

Back on Blue Star, Jin Lingfeng had been a Douluo fan. He had detested the hypocritical Tang San and Yu Xiaogang. Bibi Dong had done nothing wrong by hunting soul beasts as a soul master; Tang San's final victory had merely relied on the protagonist's plot armor.

The Two Great Empires placed nobles above all else, while Spirit Hall gave commoners opportunities to rise. Every year, it awakened martial souls for countless commoner children. In other words, only nobles would hate Spirit Hall, while nearly all commoners supported it. Spirit Hall's strength and growth were the inevitable trend.

At first, influenced by many Douluo harem novels, Jin Lingfeng had spent some time believing Spirit Hall was in the wrong. After all, Xiao Wu's legs were the most beautiful, Zhu Zhuqing's chest was the largest, and Ning Rongrong was the tiniest and cutest.

But in episode 154 of the Douluo Continent animation, Qian Renxue returned to her female attire, bathed in the holy radiance of the Angel Domain, Angel Holy Sword in hand and Angel Wings upon her back. That perfect figure had been utterly flawless, and Jin Lingfeng had fallen for her!

Shrek's Three Beauties? Get lost!

Shui Binger, Zhu Zhuyun, Dugu Yan? Step aside!

Tang San, go die! Yu Xiaogang, go to hell! Spirit Hall will win! Long live Qian Renxue!

Now that Jin Lingfeng had transmigrated into the Douluo world, he swore that in this life, he would protect Qian Renxue properly, make her happy every day, and ensure she would not have her godhood shattered by that hypocritical villain Tang San and suffer for the rest of her life...

Qian Renxue had always been cold toward him, but Jin Lingfeng did not care. As a transmigrator, once he awakened his martial soul today, he would surely conquer Qian Renxue. He had always believed one thing: the Golden Finger might be late, but it would never be absent!

After that came several minutes of waiting. Golden Crocodile Douluo listened to the other priests' flattery and was greatly pleased, becoming increasingly expectant of Jin Lingfeng's upcoming martial soul awakening...

Finally, at that moment, the main hall's doors slowly opened. A white-haired old man with a tall, imposing frame and an aura as vast and heavy as a mountain walked in, holding the hand of a six- or seven-year-old blonde girl on his left.

The old man was Spirit Hall's Great Priest, the level-99 Peerless Douluo, Qian Daoliu!

He was also one of Douluo Continent's three great Peerless Douluos, as famous as Tang Chen of the City of Slaughter and Bo Saixi of Sea God Island, known as the strongest soul master in the skies!

The girl appeared six or seven years old. Her long golden hair cascaded over her shoulders, making her look elegant and beautiful. Her slightly childish little face was incomparably exquisite, as though heaven had deliberately favored her. Though still young, she already possessed the bearing of a peerless beauty.

At that moment, the girl wore a short golden palace dress that wrapped around her petite, delicate body. She had slender, lotus-root-like arms, small budding breasts, a flat stomach without the slightest bit of excess flesh, and below that, a subtly rounded little bottom. Her pair of slender little feet wore heels around five centimeters high.

Everything about the girl was exceptionally perfect, enough to make women everywhere envy her. Coupled with the noble temperament innate to the Angel Clan, she seemed like a lofty fairy untouched by the mortal world. Even taking one extra look at her would inspire shame; she could not be profaned.

The girl was Qian Daoliu's granddaughter, the Angel Clan's inheritor, and Spirit Hall's Young Mistress—Qian Renxue!

The instant Qian Renxue entered the main hall, she sensed a scorching gaze from the right fixed upon her.

She slowly raised her head and discovered that it was actually that guy she hated, Jin Lingfeng. Her beautiful brows immediately furrowed.

As the Angel Clan's inheritor, Qian Renxue was always surrounded by endless glory wherever she went. Yet Jin Lingfeng alone showed her no respect at all, treating her as calmly as he would a friend. Did that guy deserve such familiarity?

With a cold snort, Qian Renxue wore a slightly chilly expression as Qian Daoliu led her to the seat of honor above, where she quietly stood at his side.

Jin Lingfeng smiled faintly at this. He believed that as a transmigrator, he would surely awaken a martial soul today that would shock Qian Renxue!

Qian Daoliu's arrival made the atmosphere in the main hall invisibly oppressive. His gaze swept around the room before ultimately settling on Jin Lingfeng.

Then he spoke in a deep voice.

"Everyone, today is Xue'er's martial soul awakening day. Let us witness it together."

"Of course... Golden Crocodile Douluo's grandson, Jin Lingfeng, will also awaken his martial soul today."

"Xue'er, Jin Lingfeng, come to the center. I will awaken your martial souls now."

"Yes, Grandpa."

"By your command, Great Priest!"

Qian Renxue lightly pursed her thin lips, her expression displeased as she reluctantly walked to the center.

As for Jin Lingfeng, under his grandfather Golden Crocodile Douluo's expectant gaze, he also walked over and took his place beside Qian Renxue.

Who would have thought that Qian Renxue, her face full of disgust, would actually move two steps to the right at that moment...

For a moment, the main hall became extremely quiet, and everyone's eyes turned toward Jin Lingfeng and Qian Renxue in the center.

The two had only just taken their positions when Qian Renxue shifted away with a disgusted expression, leaving Jin Lingfeng helplessly rubbing his nose.

Golden Crocodile Douluo watched this with a smile, while the other priests cast teasing looks his way. It was obvious that Jin Lingfeng had feelings for Qian Renxue, but whether the two would have a future together depended on what martial soul Jin Lingfeng could awaken today.

As for Qian Renxue, she was Spirit Hall's Young Mistress, inheritor of the Angel Clan. Her father was the former Pope, Qian Xunji, and her mother was the current Pope, Bibi Dong. Her future was limitless.

Above, at the seat of honor.

Qian Daoliu calmly watched the scene. Over the years, Golden Crocodile Douluo had always kept Jin Lingfeng by his side, and Qian Daoliu understood the boy somewhat. He knew Jin Lingfeng had always had feelings for his precious granddaughter.

But as a Peerless Douluo, he naturally had exceedingly high standards for choosing a grandson-in-law. The foremost requirement was extraordinary talent. Whether Jin Lingfeng could pass his first test depended on the martial soul awakening that followed...

"Xue'er, Jin Lingfeng, relax your entire bodies. Do not resist."

"Feel carefully for the martial souls hidden within each of your bodies."

Qian Daoliu spoke in a deep voice, sending out two streams of energy that flew into Qian Renxue and Jin Lingfeng's bodies.

The next moment, Qian Renxue slowly closed her eyes. Dazzling golden light bloomed from between her brows, and the soul power aura of a God-tier Martial Soul flowed out, bringing joy to every priest's eyes.

The Angel Clan's martial souls were divided into Two Wings, Four Wings, and Six Wings. The strongest among them was naturally the Six-Winged Angel. No one knew what level of angel martial soul Qian Renxue would awaken.

Feeling the powerful God-tier Martial Soul aura emanating from Qian Renxue beside him, Jin Lingfeng slowly closed his eyes. With the help of Qian Daoliu's energy, he began to sense the martial soul hidden within his body. Gradually, an evil aura of the Golden Giant Crocodile seeped out from within him.

Suddenly, Golden Crocodile Douluo's expression changed drastically. The Golden Giant Crocodile, the inherited martial soul of the Golden Crocodile Clan, possessed a domineering aura, but it could not be called evil. Yet an evil aura was now emanating from his grandson Jin Lingfeng. There was only one possibility—his Golden Giant Crocodile martial soul had mutated!
