Unbreaking Douluo

When the Fire Phoenix Douluo saw the Awakening Master leading the way looking anxious yet not daring to speak, she said in a deep voice, "Let's leave the reminiscing at that. We can't keep Zheng Zhan waiting too long, and the two little ones still need to awaken their Martial Souls."

Amid the Awakening Master's grateful expression, Shangguan Wei'er nodded to the group with Ye Guyi before turning and leaving.

Seeing Liu Xing constantly fiddling with the pendant in his hand, Luan Yu said, "That woman is the leader of Mingdu's Ordinary Alliance, a Titled Douluo. She controls all of Mingdu's entertainment industry and most of its dining industry. The major noble families stand behind her, so she's a troublesome woman. Stay away from her in the future. It's just a pity about that little girl, following a woman like Shangguan Wei'er."

By the end, Luan Yu could not help clicking her tongue, clearly harboring considerable resentment toward Shangguan Wei'er.

Liu Xing nodded thoughtfully. The entertainment industry in this world could not compare to the one in his and Firefly's world. It was nothing more than gambling, Soul Fighting, brothels, and the like. Since Shangguan Wei'er controlled all of Mingdu's entertainment industry, brothels were certainly included. No wonder Luan Yu disliked her so much. Thinking of Shangguan Wei'er's seductive and enchanting appearance, one's first impression of her was that she was an unparalleled beauty rather than a powerful Titled Douluo. So her line of work was unusual.

Thinking of the little blonde girl, Ye Guyi, and Shangguan Wei'er's displayed affection for her, as well as the fact that she had personally brought her here for Martial Soul Awakening, Liu Xing realized there was clearly no need for them to worry about her. Shangguan Wei'er probably would not train her in that direction.

Soon, led by the Awakening Master, the group arrived at an Awakening Room within the Awakening Hall. The moment he entered, Liu Xing felt dazzled. The floor, walls, and even the ceiling were engraved with marvelous, gorgeous patterns. Faintly, he felt as though something inside his body was about to surge forth.

A middle-aged man dressed in an ancient-style robe was already waiting in the Awakening Room. When he saw people enter, he was just about to lose his temper when he spotted the Fire Phoenix Douluo and Luan Yu. The anger in his heart instantly vanished. As fellow Rank 9 Spirit Tool Masters, how could he possibly not know the Fire Phoenix Douluo and the Ice Phoenix Douluo?

The Ice Phoenix Douluo was manageable. She was merely a ninety-second-level Titled Douluo like himself, so he did not fear her. But the Fire Phoenix Douluo was different. Not only was she a ninety-fourth-level Titled Douluo, she was also the commander of the Fire Phoenix Spirit Tool Master Legion. Her combat strength was formidable enough that she could even fight a Super Douluo. He could not afford to provoke her, much less both of them.

"Sorry, Unbreaking Douluo. I exchanged a few words with that woman Shangguan Wei'er just now and delayed you. My apologies."

Luan Yu was the first to apologize. Though she did not fear the Unbreaking Douluo, there was no need to make an enemy of a Rank 9 Spirit Tool Master over such a trivial matter. Besides, he was the Unbreaking Douluo, Zheng Zhan, who specialized in crafting defensive Soul Tools. Known as the Unbreaking King, his defensive Soul Tools were said to be unbreakable even by Super Douluo. In the future, it would be better to seek out the Unbreaking Douluo, a master of defense, to prepare defensive Soul Tools for the two little ones.

Seeing Luan Yu's sincere attitude and knowing that she had not actually delayed him for long, the Unbreaking Douluo naturally did not dwell on the matter. He was not a narrow-minded person to begin with. In fact, he had only intended to scold the latecomers a little before awakening their Martial Souls as usual. He would not retaliate over such a minor issue.

Remembering Shangguan Wei'er, who had just left, the Unbreaking Douluo Zheng Zhan understood at once. He nodded and said, "It's fine. It's a small matter, and I haven't taken it to heart."

The Unbreaking Douluo then looked at Liu Xing and Firefly with a gentle smile. "Which of you little ones will go first?"

Liu Xing looked at Firefly and said softly, "You go first, Firefly."

Firefly nodded and sweetly stepped forward, stopping before the Unbreaking Douluo. Compared to Liu Xing, she was much calmer, without the slightest trace of nervousness.

The Unbreaking Douluo said softly, "Focus your mind and calm your breath. I'm about to begin."

Firefly nodded. Her eyes held only curiosity, without any nervousness, and the Unbreaking Douluo's expression turned appreciative. What he liked most was nurturing exceptionally talented juniors. Otherwise, with his status, he would not have come here to serve as an Awakening Master. He simply enjoyed watching these young geniuses awaken their Martial Souls under his guidance, which gave him a sense of fulfillment.

As Firefly stood still, a wisp of white light lit up in the Unbreaking Douluo's hand, irresistibly drawing everyone's eyes toward it. During his two years in this world, Liu Xing had long since seen this world's unique Soul Power and even studied it at close range. Mm! Thanks to our test subject, classmate Nan Qiuqiu.

The Unbreaking Douluo pointed his right hand into the air, and the white light that had been in his hands immediately shot upward. Like fireworks blooming in the sky, it filled the Awakening Room with dazzling radiance.

The beautiful patterns lit up one after another, beginning from the ceiling and extending downward along the four walls. It was as though they had regained their vitality, as though they had come alive, spreading all the way to Firefly's feet. In the end, all the light gathered where she stood.

Liu Xing tensed. Firefly's awakening represented his own. Because of the Life Sharing Ritual, when Firefly awakened her Martial Soul, there was a strong chance that Liu Xing would obtain the same Martial Soul.

That was why Liu Xing had let Firefly awaken her Martial Soul first. He was not sure whether he himself could awaken one, but Firefly, the legitimate inheritor of the Goddess of Life, certainly could.

A warm force with a faint tingling sensation entered Firefly's body through the soles of her feet, making her frown. Instinctively, she wanted to reject the Soul Power entering her body, but having been prepared, she suppressed the instinct to drive it out. She knew that force was helping her awaken her Martial Soul.

In the eyes of Luan Yu, Liu Xing, and the others, Firefly's body had already been suffused with a white halo. A faint glow radiated from her entire body. Under the effect of this ancient, traditional Martial Soul Awakening ritual, her Martial Soul was about to awaken.

When children awakened their Martial Souls, they normally would not feel much. However, a very small number of them were physically frail and could not endure the impact of the energy, putting them in danger. Thus, both Luan Yu and the Fire Phoenix Douluo stared at Firefly without moving, ready to act at any moment.

Although it was impossible for Firefly's physique to develop any problems, before a Martial Soul awakened, anything was possible.

As the ritual continued, the Unbreaking Douluo discovered in surprise that green veins began to emerge around Firefly's neck and spread toward her face.

While everyone's attention was focused on Firefly, a faint green light also appeared around Liu Xing's neck. Fine green veins emerged on his body as well, only far less noticeable and eye-catching than Firefly's.
