As Yang Wudi activated the Spirit Awakening Ceremony, the golden curtain of light appeared once more.

Warmth and comfort—those were Yang Ming's first sensations. It felt as if his whole body were bathing in sunlight. Then, he felt something within him crack, as though something had shattered, and all the Golden Light Dots immediately surged toward his right palm.

A flicker of astonishment crossed Yang Wudi's eyes, while the elderly men erupted in wild joy. This time, there were especially many Golden Light Dots within the golden barrier—fully three times as many as when the Soul Breaking Spear Martial Soul had awakened earlier. During the Spirit Awakening Ceremony, the number of Golden Light Dots was directly proportional to the quality of one's Martial Soul. The Soul Breaking Spear was already one of the finest Weapon Spirits in the entire Soul Master World, not much inferior to the Clear Sky Sect's Clear Sky Hammer. Yet Yang Ming's Martial Soul had drawn forth so many light dots. How extraordinary would the Martial Soul he awakened be?!

In that instant, a vaguely spear-shaped Martial Soul appeared in Yang Ming's right hand. Although it had not fully manifested and was merely an indistinct outline, Yang Wudi and all the other possessors of the Soul Breaking Spear Martial Soul present felt their own Martial Souls tremble. This was the reaction of an inferior Martial Soul when facing a superior one. Though they had never experienced it before, the instinct of their Martial Souls conveyed the truth to them with absolute clarity!

Just as Yang Wudi and the others of the Breaking Clan were shocked and awed by Yang Ming's Martial Soul, Yang Ming's consciousness fell into an apocalyptic scene.

The sky had been divided into purple and green, painted into two sharply distinct halves. The heavens in turn dyed the earth in their respective colors. What was terrifying was that wherever the green and purple passed, all things vanished, everything returning to Void, as if the world were about to be destroyed.

Just as everything was about to end, Yang Ming felt "himself" move beyond his control. No, rather, the body he currently occupied moved, because the tall, powerful figure clad in golden armor like a god of war was clearly not his own body. The golden figure raised the spear in his hand, upon which the ancient characters "Heaven-Piercing" were faintly inscribed and whose sharp edge spat White Incandescent Flame. Golden light erupted from its entire body in an instant, rising to pierce the heavens and standing in opposition to the green and purple colors in the sky.

"Heaven-Piercing, Sun Shooting!"

Yang Ming heard the golden figure release a majestic roar, and then there was nothing more. The scene vanished, and the entire world sank into darkness. In his final glimpse, Yang Ming only saw what seemed to be a streak of golden light burrow into his body.

Yang Ming's consciousness returned, and he felt a weight in his hand. Looking down, he saw a spear that glowed with a white-hot radiance, its shaft seemingly transparent. It had a blade at only one end, but the blade was exceptionally long, nearly taking up a third of the spear's entire length. Flame flickered along its edge. At the point where the shaft connected beneath the blade, two ancient characters were engraved: Heaven-Piercing. Most importantly, it was exactly the same as the spear he had seen in that apocalyptic vision.

Yang Wudi also came back to his senses. Seeing Yang Ming staring thoughtfully at his Martial Soul, he spoke.

"Ming Er?"

Yang Wudi's voice also awakened the others.

Yang Ming came back to himself and looked at his Grandfather.

"I'm fine. I was just distracted."

Although Yang Wudi felt that something was off after hearing Yang Ming's answer, he did not ask further. As long as Yang Ming was all right, that was enough.

The Martial Soul had awakened. Next came the test of Innate Soul Power. Yang Wudi placed the Soul Power Test Crystal before Yang Ming.

"Ming Er, come on!"

Having set aside his worries, Yang Wudi was now extremely curious about Yang Ming's Innate Soul Power. The other members of the Yang Family present waited eagerly as well.

Yang Ming's expression remained unchanged. With a thought, he recalled the spear, the process incomparably smooth, as natural as breathing. Then, like the two before him, he placed his hand on the blue crystal. The moment his palm touched it, Yang Ming felt a powerful suction force coming from the crystal before him. Then, he sensed a cold current within his body flowing into the crystal. Instantly, the crystal shone brilliantly, making the crystal sphere resemble a glittering gemstone. Its radiance was far more dazzling than Yang Lin's had been.

"Innate Full Soul Power? It's Innate Full Soul Power!"

Several elders of the Yang Family beside them cried out in shock. When Yang Ming's Martial Soul had awakened earlier, they had boldly guessed that he might possess Innate Full Soul Power. But now that it had truly happened before their eyes, the elders were still so excited that they could barely contain themselves.

One of the elders was so moved that tears streamed down his face as he repeatedly shouted.

"The gods have blessed us!"

"Heaven protects the Breaking Clan!"

Yang Wudi was beside himself with joy. Even a smile could not help appearing on his usually cold face. But when he thought of the oath Yang Ming had made earlier, as well as Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect, he suppressed his delight and wiped away his smile. He solemnly commanded everyone present.

"Today! No one is to reveal anything regarding Yang Ming's Martial Soul!"

"Otherwise—"

"Clan rules will deal with you!" As he spoke, Yang Wudi released the pressure of a Soul Douluo, making clear just how seriously he regarded this order.

The others present immediately bowed in acknowledgment.

"Yes, Clan Leader!"

Yang Wudi swept his gaze around, and only after confirming that everyone understood the gravity of the matter did he withdraw his pressure and speak.

"Today's Spirit Awakening Ceremony has concluded perfectly!"

"You may all leave!"

Having received the order, everyone bowed and withdrew. Only Yang Wudi and Yang Ming, grandfather and grandson, remained in the Ancestral Hall.

Once the clan members had left, Yang Wudi had Yang Ming summon his Martial Soul again.

"Ming Er, summon your Martial Soul!"

Hearing the faint excitement in Yang Wudi's voice, Yang Ming summoned his Martial Soul once again. The ancient, entirely transparent spear reappeared in his hand, except the white-hot flame that had shrouded its tip before was gone.

This time, Yang Wudi did not feel the Soul Breaking Spear's fear, but he was certain that was because Yang Ming's Martial Soul had concealed its might. He carefully examined the spear in Yang Ming's hand. Seeing that its appearance was entirely different from the Soul Breaking Spear, he said,

"Your Martial Soul appears to be a mutated Martial Soul! Does it have any special properties?"

Yang Ming carefully sensed his Martial Soul upon hearing this. After a long while, he answered,

"Other than being more sensitive to the surrounding space, it seems to have another trait that I can't use yet."

Yang Wudi pondered for a moment before speaking calmly.

"Is that so?"

"It doesn't matter! Since you can sense that power, you'll always be able to control it as your strength grows."

Hearing his Grandfather's words, Yang Ming nodded. Looking at the spear in his hand, he thought of the apocalyptic scene he had just witnessed and the conflicts he would face in the future. He murmured softly,

"Heaven-Piercing, please take care of me from now on!"
