White Tiger Duke's Mansion

Luan Yu smiled as well. "Firefly has Innate Full Soul Power. A Titled Douluo isn't like those low-level Soul Masters; they still need a Soul Power Crystal to test Innate Soul Power."

Liu Xing's mouth twitched. So what if she was a Titled Douluo!

Ah! Right, a Titled Douluo really was impressive. Depressed, Liu Xing stood before Unbreaking Douluo and repeated Firefly's earlier experience.

His martial soul had already awakened along with Firefly's, so he was not nervous at all and behaved very naturally.

As crimson flames, distinctly different from Firefly's green flames, burst forth, Liu Xing's body transformed into a silver-white mecha. It was likewise a humanoid mecha martial soul, but unlike Firefly, whose Martial Soul Possession erupted with green flames, his erupted with crimson flames. Firefly's martial soul was silver-white tinged with green, while his was silver-white tinged with red.

Perhaps this subtle difference was because Firefly possessed a trace of the Goddess of Life's divinity. Or perhaps Liu Xing's was the male version, while Firefly's was the female version?

"Sure enough, they have the same martial soul."

Luan Yu revealed a smile that said she had expected this. Though the two little ones repeatedly insisted that they were not biological siblings, in her eyes, they looked so alike, had the same hair and eye colors, and even had such similar names. How could they not be siblings? Their identical martial souls only further confirmed her guess.

Fire Phoenix Douluo remained silent throughout. Among everyone present, only she understood just how powerful the two children's martial souls were. They were not merely top-tier martial souls with Innate Full Soul Power, as Unbreaking Douluo and Luan Yu believed.

"Thank you, Unbreaking Douluo. I'll take these two children and leave first. There are still people waiting in line behind us."

Fire Phoenix Douluo directly bade him farewell. She did not want Unbreaking Douluo to discover anything more. Exceptional talent could earn attention and cultivation, but it could also attract those with ulterior motives. For the two children, who were still weak, that was hardly a good thing. Fortunately, only a small number of people could access the Awakening Hall's awakening records, so there was no need to worry about them being exposed to the public for the time being. Besides, top-tier martial souls and Innate Full Soul Power alone would not draw too much attention. After all, a genius who had yet to grow was nothing.

Only their humanoid mecha martial souls were too unusual and might attract the attention of Soul Engineers researching Humanoid Soul Tools. But with her and Luan Yu protecting them, those people would not dare go too far.

Although Unbreaking Douluo still wanted to study Liu Xing and Firefly's martial souls, he took his duties seriously. He was an Awakener, and there were still people waiting for their martial souls to awaken. Naturally, he would not waste any more time and simply allowed Fire Phoenix Douluo to take Liu Xing and Firefly away.

Seeing that Elder Sister's expression was off, Luan Yu hurried out of the Awakening Hall after her, boarded Fire Phoenix Douluo's vehicle, and headed toward her villa.

While Liu Xing and Firefly were awakening their martial souls, a martial soul awakening ceremony was also taking place at the White Tiger Duke's Mansion in the distant Star Luo Empire.

"Roar!"

Following a tiger's roar, a golden-haired child let out a low growl. A pair of white tiger claws appeared on his hands, replacing his original arms, while his body abruptly swelled several sizes, becoming taller and more imposing.

"Good! Dai Huabin, White Tiger Spirit, Innate Full Soul Power."

A Soul Saint Level expert presiding over the martial soul awakening ceremony beamed as he announced the result.

The golden-haired boy, Dai Huabin, dispelled his Martial Soul Possession. Having only just awakened his martial soul, maintaining the possession continuously was no easy task for him.

Pride filled his face as he happily looked toward the elegant, richly dressed beautiful woman seated in the place of honor. "Mother, I didn't disappoint you, did I?"

"Good, good, good! As expected of my son. If your father learns of this, he will surely be delighted as well."

The beautiful woman looked at him with doting affection and stroked Dai Huabin's golden hair.

"Congratulations, Duchess! Congratulations, Second Young Master! A tiger father begets no dog son!"

The Awakener at the side hurriedly offered his congratulations. He was originally a subordinate of the White Tiger Duke; otherwise, he would never have been granted the opportunity to awaken the martial souls of the White Tiger Duke's children.

As a staunch supporter of the White Tiger Duke, the stronger the White Tiger Lineage became, the better. Innate Full Soul Power meant he had hope of becoming a Titled Douluo in the future! Not to mention that the eldest young master had already been admitted to Shrek Academy and was equally gifted.

Amid the jubilant atmosphere, a beautiful woman dressed plainly, like a maid, entered while holding the hand of a timid black-haired boy.

She looked at the Duchess seated high above them, then finally gathered her courage and said, "Um, Duchess, Yuhao has also reached the age to awaken his martial soul this year."

Upon hearing the beautiful woman's words, the Duchess's previously beaming face turned cold. She gave the woman and the black-haired boy at her side an icy glance, then closed her eyes expressionlessly.

The lively atmosphere instantly froze. Whether it was the Soul Saint Level Awakener or the surrounding servants, all fell silent, not daring to utter a word.

In the end, Dai Huabin disdainfully glanced at the black-haired boy and said to the Duchess, "Mother, let this little trash try awakening his martial soul. I'd like to see what martial soul this little trash can awaken."

The Duchess opened her eyes. She truly despised that woman and her child and oppressed them at every turn, but martial soul awakening was a matter of great importance. No matter how worthless that little trash was, he was still of the White Tiger Duke's bloodline. If she refused to let him awaken his martial soul, the elders of the White Tiger Lineage would be the first to step forward and condemn her.

Even the Soul Saint Awakener, who had just been so respectful toward her, would likely object. He might even bypass her and report the matter to the White Tiger Duke far away at the border.

That was not something she wanted to see. The White Tiger Duke absolutely could not learn about the affairs of this mother and son.

In the end, the Duchess nodded to the Soul Saint Awakener. "Go ahead."

The Soul Saint Awakener also breathed a sigh of relief. He had no desire whatsoever to get involved in the White Tiger Duke's family affairs. But if someone of the White Tiger bloodline was not even given the chance to awaken a martial soul, he, as the Awakener, would also be in trouble. If the White Tiger Duke found out and settled accounts afterward, he would never escape blame.

Fortunately, the Duchess still had her wits about her and had not done anything foolish.

The Soul Saint Awakener beckoned to the black-haired boy. His attitude was neither good nor bad. After all, the boy carried the White Tiger Duke's bloodline. Though he was currently being suppressed by the Duchess, if he awakened the White Tiger Spirit, then even if his Soul Power Level was not high, his treatment would become vastly different from what it was now.

Even if the Duchess hated him, a Dai Family descendant who had awakened the White Tiger Spirit was not someone she could easily control. After all, elders of the White Tiger Lineage still remained. She was not yet capable of covering the sky with one hand.
