Qian Ren Shang Turns Six, the Time to Awaken His Martial Soul Has Arrived!

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, another three years had passed!

Over those three years, Qian Ren Shang had kept his promise, feeding Gu Yuena his blood at regular intervals to maintain her vital signs. If Aunt Bi Ji had not stopped him, he might have gone to feed Gu Yuena blood every single day.

Of course, Di Tian and the others had not been stingy either. Every time Qian Ren Shang finished feeding her blood, they gave him vast amounts of nourishing supplements, sparing no expense.

Over the past three years, Qian Ren Shang's selfless devotion had moved all the Beast Kings. As a result, they had truly become Qian Ren Shang's friends—perhaps even his elders.

Inside a brightly lit little room!

A six-year-old boy sat with a pale face, yet there was a stubborn determination and resilience about him.

He sat quietly at the bedside. Beside him, a Silver-Haired Girl remained asleep, her beautiful face now incomparably pale.

They were none other than the six-year-old Qian Ren Shang and Gu Yuena.

As usual, Qian Ren Shang had just finished feeding Gu Yuena his blood. Fresh and old scars crisscrossed his arm.

Three years. This had gone on for a full three years. Ever since he was three, Qian Ren Shang had continuously used his own blood to nourish Gu Yuena, hoping that a miracle might happen.

His eyes brimmed with anticipation as he stared fixedly at Gu Yuena, as though she might open her eyes the next second. A heavy atmosphere filled the room, broken only by Qian Ren Shang's soft breathing.

He reached out with his little hand and gently caressed Gu Yuena's cheek. Muttering to himself, he said, "Na Na, Older Sister, wake up soon. Xiao Shang really misses you..."

His childish voice echoed through the silent room, carrying endless longing and unwavering faith.

But... Gu Yuena still gave no response. She was like a sleeping beauty.

"Xiao Shang... stop the bleeding quickly, then drink this."

A gentle female voice came from beside him. It belonged to a mild-mannered woman in a green dress—Aunt Bi Ji. She held a golden Small Flask filled with the Spring of Life.

"Thank you, Aunt Bi Ji."

Qian Ren Shang took the flask and drained it in one gulp. Only then did a little color return to his face.

"From now on, you only need to come once every seven days. Master's condition has already stabilized considerably."

Aunt Bi Ji reminded him, but Qian Ren Shang shook his head.

"That's too long... I want Na Na, Older Sister, to wake up sooner. Let's keep it as before—once every three days."

Qian Ren Shang's little face was full of stubbornness and strength. Aunt Bi Ji sighed helplessly.

This little fellow was still as stubborn as ever!

Aunt Bi Ji's gaze was filled with complicated emotions as she quietly looked at Qian Ren Shang before her. He was still dressed in that pure white robe, and his appearance had barely changed compared to three years ago.

His golden hair gleamed brightly, his emerald-green eyes sparkled like gemstones, and his features carried a gentle yet stubborn air.

Yet what pained Aunt Bi Ji the most was that Qian Ren Shang was already six years old, but his body was still as small as before. At most, he looked like a four-year-old child.

The passage of time seemed not to have left any trace on him. Instead, it made him seem even more frail and lonely.

Every few days, he had to bleed himself for Gu Yuena. Even with all kinds of precious treasures supporting him, it still had an enormous impact on Qian Ren Shang's body. His growth rate might be far slower than that of ordinary children!

"Xiao Shang, you're already six this year, aren't you?"

Aunt Bi Ji asked as she watched Qian Ren Shang massage and work Gu Yuena's body.

"I think so. I don't remember clearly either."

Qian Ren Shang answered without turning around. Aunt Bi Ji reminded him, "Six should be the age when you humans awaken your martial souls... Today, I had Di Tian and the others prepare the things needed for a martial soul awakening in the human world. You can awaken your martial soul today."

"Awaken my martial soul?"

Qian Ren Shang finally raised his head. Had the time already come without him realizing it?

After transmigrating to Douluo Continent for so long, it would be a lie to say he had not been looking forward to awakening his martial soul. Qian Ren Shang also wanted to awaken a powerful martial soul, so that in the future... he could protect Na Na, Older Sister!

"Alright, I want to awaken my martial soul!"

Qian Ren Shang looked at Aunt Bi Ji with blazing eyes and spoke.

Half an hour later, after Qian Ren Shang finished massaging Gu Yuena, he finally came outside to the shore of the Lake of Life.

Di Tian and the others were already waiting there. After exchanging a few simple pleasantries with Qian Ren Shang, Xiong Jun crossed his arms, his face full of curiosity.

"Kid, I'm really curious what kind of martial soul you'll awaken. I think you shouldn't be too bad."

Ten Thousand Demons King also spoke up.

"I hear that human martial souls are inherited through bloodlines. This child will probably inherit his parents' martial souls."

"His parents' martial souls?"

At the mention of Qian Ren Shang's parents, the expressions of the Beast Kings became somewhat subtle, because Qian Ren Shang had not actually told them his parents' true identities.

According to him, he was afraid they would seek revenge. Qian Ren Shang no longer wanted anything to do with Bibi Dong and the others.

"What's the point of saying so much now? Won't we find out once his awakening succeeds?"

In the end, Di Tian interrupted Xiong Jun and the others' discussion. He looked at Qian Ren Shang, his expression showing a rare gentleness.

Over the past three years, Qian Ren Shang had thoroughly earned his approval!

"Kid... I hope you awaken a powerful martial soul."

Di Tian placed a large hand on Qian Ren Shang's shoulder, offering him earnest encouragement.

"Thank you, Uncle Di Tian."

Qian Ren Shang's bright eyes narrowed into crescents as he smiled.

"Come forward... then slowly guide your power..."

Di Tian began instructing Qian Ren Shang through his Spirit Awakening. With his talent, Qian Ren Shang quickly entered the proper state. He stepped into the formation, narrowed his eyes slightly, and his entire aura began to change.

Di Tian and the others watched Qian Ren Shang expectantly. They were genuinely curious about what kind of martial soul he would awaken.

"This child came to our Star Dou Great Forest, possesses the Golden Dragon King bloodline... and has become so deeply entangled with Master. I believe it must be fate."

"This child's future will certainly be far from ordinary. Perhaps he may achieve heights beyond even our imagination."

Di Tian suddenly spoke, and the moment he did, he expressed his admiration for Qian Ren Shang.

Xiong Jun, standing beside him, looked astonished.

"I never expected you to hold this child in such high regard, Di Tian?"

Xiong Jun knew just how proud Di Tian was. Other than their Master, the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena, there was hardly anyone worthy of his attention.

Yet this child had actually managed it!

"He's the first human I've ever seen who could spend three years giving blood to save others without fail, rain or shine... Even if his martial soul isn't ideal now, he won't remain insignificant in the future."

Di Tian stood with his hands behind his back and spoke indifferently. Xiong Jun was about to say something else when Di Tian suddenly cut him off in a low voice.

"Quiet. This child's Spirit Awakening is beginning..."
