Martial Soul Awakening

Six years were enough to change many things. When the time came, he would crush Tang San with absolute strength, leaving him no room to resist.

Before long, Qian Xunji would set out to hunt Ah Yin and return severely injured. Bibi Dong would seize the opportunity to assassinate Qian Xunji and ascend to the position of Pope.

At that thought, Luo Chen looked at Qian Renxue with complicated eyes. She would lose her father at such a young age; he wondered whether she could bear it.

However, Qian Xunji truly deserved to die and was not worthy of sympathy. If he had arrived on Douluo Continent a year earlier, perhaps he could have stopped Qian Xunji's scheme.

Logically speaking, Qian Renxue should not have been this young at her current age.

It seemed that, just as the system had said six years ago, his arrival had caused the timeline to become distorted. He had no idea what adverse effects it might bring later.

Just then, an elderly figure silently appeared before Luo Chen. Dressed in a black robe, he radiated the aura of a Titled Douluo from within.

This old man was an elder of Spirit Hall and also Qian Renxue's guard: Stingray Douluo Elder, who possessed level ninety-two Soul Power.

"Young Lady, today is the day of your martial soul awakening. Please come with me to the Spirit Hall Sanctuary."

Stingray Douluo Elder glanced at Luo Chen, then spoke to Qian Renxue with a kind and benevolent expression.

"Great! It's finally time to awaken my martial soul. Brother Chen, let's go together."

Upon hearing the news, a breathtaking smile bloomed across Qian Renxue's fair face. She rose and grabbed Luo Chen's hand, preparing to leave with him.

"Young Lady, go to the Spirit Hall Sanctuary first. I have some matters regarding martial soul awakening to tell Xiao Chen."

At this, Stingray Douluo Elder crouched down, patted Qian Renxue's head, and spoke softly.

"Alright, then I'll go first. Brother Chen, remember to come soon."

Qian Renxue lowered her head, thought for a moment, then spoke to Luo Chen with a serious expression.

"Alright, I'll be there shortly."

Luo Chen smiled faintly.

After Qian Renxue left, Stingray Douluo Elder's expression turned solemn.

Turning to Luo Chen, he reminded him, "Xiao Chen, I hope you know your place. Even though you are Her Royal Highness, the Saintess's disciple, there is a world of difference between you and the Young Lady in status, talent, and every other aspect. You are destined to be unable to be together. I hope you conduct yourself properly."

"Stingray Douluo Elder, it is still too early to say such things. My martial soul has yet to awaken. Do you think my martial soul is destined to be a useless one?"

Luo Chen spread his hands and sighed helplessly.

"The difficulty of awakening a top-tier martial soul is beyond imagination. What's more, the Young Lady's father is the current Pope of Spirit Hall. Unless something unexpected happens, the Young Lady will certainly awaken a Divine Martial Soul: the Six-Winged Angel."

"Xiao Chen, from today onward, I hope you will keep a certain distance from the Young Lady, lest you bring unnecessary trouble upon yourself."

Stingray Douluo Elder spoke solemnly. He sincerely hoped that Luo Chen could awaken a powerful martial soul.

After all, over the years, he had seen how Luo Chen cared for Qian Renxue. But on Douluo Continent, martial souls were the foundation that determined a Soul Master's standing. He did not know who Luo Chen's parents were.

Thus, the chances of him possessing a top-tier martial soul were full of uncertainty.

After saying this, Stingray Douluo Elder strode after Qian Renxue, leaving Luo Chen standing alone where he was.

Luo Chen picked at his ear, utterly unconcerned. Over the past six years, he had been inseparable from Qian Renxue and had no idea how much jealousy he had drawn.

Luo Chen blew the dust from his hand, his expression gradually becoming incomparably resolute. He silently made up his mind that he would change Qian Renxue's future fate.

Spirit Hall Sanctuary.

The place was densely populated, and even those with the lowest cultivation were at the Soul Douluo level. It was terrifying beyond measure.

This awakening involved Qian Renxue, the current Pope's daughter, as well as Luo Chen, Her Royal Highness, the Saintess's disciple. It was being treated with unprecedented importance.

Qian Xunji sat at the head of the hall, while Bibi Dong sat beside him. The atmosphere between them was exceedingly strange, making everyone present afraid to even breathe loudly.

The six-year-old children of Spirit Hall entered through the doors with joyful anticipation, lining up in orderly rows as they held their breath and awaited the coming judgment.

The moment Qian Renxue entered, Bibi Dong's brows furrowed slightly, and a cold gleam flashed through her dark pupils.

Soon afterward, Luo Chen entered as well. At that moment, a rare smile of genuine happiness appeared on Bibi Dong's face.

Seeing this, Qian Renxue could not help but reveal a disappointed expression.

When Luo Chen behind her saw the sorrow on Qian Renxue's face, he immediately understood. He patted her shoulder and comforted her.

"Don't worry. In Master's heart, she still likes you very much. She's just not good at expressing it."

Knowing the reason, Luo Chen had spent the past six years quietly mediating the relationship between the two.

Heaven did not disappoint those who persevered. Bibi Dong's attitude toward Qian Renxue had changed greatly from the original story. Though it could not be called affection, she no longer disliked her either.

Luo Chen swept his gaze around. More than thirty children had come to awaken their martial souls, each of them wearing an expectant expression, hoping to awaken a powerful martial soul and change their own fate.

"Silence. Today is the day you awaken your martial souls. I am Fu Tianxing, the Soul Douluo overseeing your awakening this time, at level eighty-three. My martial soul is the Blood Moon Vine."

"Now, all of you will line up and enter the Awakening Array one by one. After that, focus on sensing the Origin Power of the martial soul deep within your bodies. Remember, you must not interrupt the process midway, or all your previous efforts will be wasted."

With a smile, Fu Tianxing explained the precautions for martial soul awakening to the children. With a wave of his hand, six stones formed a Hexagram Array.

"The first person, come awaken your martial soul."

Fu Tianxing spoke to the little girl at the front of the line. At the same time, he summoned his martial soul, and eight soul rings of different colors appeared in succession.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black.

Fu Tianxing infused the array with Soul Power, activating the Awakening Array.

Buzz!

The little girl nervously walked up to Fu Tianxing, her hands trembling as she stepped into the Awakening Array.

All of a sudden, the entire Awakening Array emitted a faint glow. A purple flower quietly emerged from her right palm.

"Bei Mingxue. Plant-type martial soul: Purple Origin Flower. Innate Soul Power, level five."

"Not bad. Barring any accidents, you should be able to become a Soul King in the future. Next."

Fu Tianxing spoke indifferently. Spirit Hall had far too many geniuses; Innate Soul Power at level five was still considered decent.

"Next!"

"Li Yun. Tool Martial Soul: Azure Cloud Blade. Innate Soul Power, level six."

"Cui Jian. Beast Martial Soul: Heavenly Moon Wolf. Innate Soul Power, level six."

"..."

As the children were tested one after another, not a single genius with Innate Soul Power above level eight appeared. The elders present could not help but feel greatly disappointed.

Of course, most of the elders had come to watch Qian Renxue and Luo Chen awaken their martial souls, wanting to know what martial souls the two possessed.

"Alright, children. Your martial soul awakenings have been completed. You may leave first."

Fu Tianxing spoke to the children who had awakened their martial souls.

After all, he would next help Qian Renxue and Luo Chen awaken their martial souls. The matter was of great importance, and too many outsiders could not be allowed to watch.

After all the children and the Spirit Hall personnel below the rank of Titled Douluo had left,

Everyone remaining in the Spirit Hall Sanctuary besides Fu Tianxing and Bibi Dong was a Titled Douluo expert of Spirit Hall.

"Next, Qian Renxue."

Fu Tianxing continued. In an instant, a thick look of anticipation appeared on his face. The current Pope's martial soul was the Divine Martial Soul, the Six-Winged Angel.

Unless something unexpected happened, Qian Renxue's martial soul would be the same. The only question was how high her Innate Soul Power would reach.

"Go on."

Luo Chen patted Qian Renxue's shoulder encouragingly. Having read the original story, he naturally knew that Qian Renxue's martial soul was the Divine Martial Soul, the Six-Winged Angel, and that she possessed level twenty Innate Soul Power.

"Mhm!"

Qian Renxue's eyes lit up. She nodded fiercely and walked with light steps into the Awakening Array.

With that single action, the atmosphere among everyone changed, and different expressions appeared on their faces.
