Martial Soul Awakening

Even at only six years old, Yu Diming knew what a mutated Martial Soul meant!

Within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, especially among the direct line, they looked down on clansmen whose Martial Souls had mutated.

Only the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul was the strongest!

If the upbringing he had received since childhood had not forbidden Yu Diming from crying, he would probably have broken down in tears by now.

He slowly stepped out of the awakening formation and walked toward the crystal ball used to test Innate Soul Power.

Water Dragon was still a dragon-type Martial Soul. The possibility of having no Innate Soul Power was almost zero, which was why Yu Dagang and the others had merely changed expressions.

Stretching out his right hand, Yu Diming closed his eyes in anguish. He was enduring pain no child his age should have to bear!

As the light within the Soul Power crystal flickered, Yu Dagang said, "Innate Soul Power Rank Five. You may step down."

Innate Soul Power Rank Five was neither high nor low. If he cultivated diligently, he might one day reach Soul Emperor or Soul Saint.

But was the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan lacking Soul Emperors and Soul Saints?

What they needed was hope—hope of producing a Titled Douluo!

Besides, this child's Martial Soul was not the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. Before long, his surname would be changed, or rather, stripped away. If his father's surname was Yu, he would take his mother's surname. If his mother's surname was Yu, he would take his father's surname.

If both parents were surnamed Yu, his Martial Soul would not have turned out like this!

"Yes, Grandpa Dagang..."

Yu Diming paused before continuing, "Yes, Young Clan Leader!"

Having lost his status as a direct-line member, his relationship with Yu Dagang was clearly no longer so close.

"Mm."

Yu Dagang nodded and did not make things difficult for the unlucky child.

Compared to his younger brother, Yu Xiaogang, this child was practically blessed!

If Yu Xiaogang had possessed even Rank Two Innate Soul Power, as the clan leader's son, he would not have been driven out of the clan!

"Next..."

"Yu Ditie, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, Innate Soul Power Rank Five!"

"Very good!"

Though both had Rank Five Innate Soul Power, Yu Ditie's treatment was clearly different.

Because his Martial Soul was the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, he was naturally a cut above others.

"Yu Tianjie, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, Innate Soul Power Rank Six!"

"Cultivate well!"

"Yu Tianyan, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, Innate Soul Power Rank Seven!"

"Hahaha, this boy truly belongs to our branch! His future is promising!"

Rank Seven Innate Soul Power meant he had the potential to become a Soul Douluo. With a bit of luck, becoming a Titled Douluo was not impossible!

"Zhang Hu, Flame Dragon Martial Soul, Rank Six Innate Soul Power."

"Li Si, Earth Dragon Martial Soul, Rank Three Innate Soul Power."

"Wang Wu, Lightning Eagle Martial Soul, Rank Four Innate Soul Power."

As one child after another awakened their Martial Souls, the most outstanding so far was Yu Tianyan. His Martial Soul was the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, and his Innate Soul Power had reached Rank Seven!

He could be considered a fairly decent genius.

Before long, it was finally Kong's turn. At this moment, aside from Yu Yuanzhen, no one else looked pleased.

They had no expectations for Kong whatsoever.

They only hoped that when Kong went out in the future, he would not disgrace himself like Yu Xiaogang had!

"Dagang, go rest! After helping so many children awaken their Martial Souls, you must be tired, right?"

Yu Yuanzhen suddenly said to Yu Dagang.

Yu Dagang was slightly stunned. As a mighty Soul Saint, how could he possibly be tired after helping just over a dozen children awaken their Martial Souls?

Just as he was about to say something, Yu Yuanzhen came to his side, pushed him away, and said,

"Martial Soul awakening cannot be taken lightly. You are tired. It would be better for this old man to personally handle Kong's awakening ceremony!"

If Yu Dagang still failed to understand Yu Yuanzhen's meaning at this point, then he had lived all these years for nothing.

If Yu Yuanzhen said he was tired, then he had to be tired!

Father, when I awakened my Martial Soul back then, you did not personally do it!

Yu Dagang cried out inwardly, his gaze toward Kong filled with jealousy.

The corners of Yu Luomian and the others' mouths twitched. Yu Yuanzhen's doting on Yu Tiankong had already surpassed even that of his own biological grandson!

Seeing this, the children who had just awakened their Martial Souls felt indignant. Why could Yu Tiankong have the clan leader personally help him awaken his Martial Soul?

"Kong, come. Stand in the center of this awakening formation. Do not be afraid. Close your eyes and feel carefully."

Kong nodded without speaking. Imitating what he had seen, he walked to the center of the awakening formation and closed his eyes.

His attitude once again provoked Yu Luomian and the others' dissatisfaction!

But with the Martial Soul awakening about to begin, they did not dare speak up at such a time. They truly disliked Kong, but they could not bring themselves to interfere with his Martial Soul awakening.

They could only wait until after he had awakened his Martial Soul to find fault with him.

As Yu Yuanzhen guided him with Soul Power and activated the awakening formation, Kong's body slowly rose from the ground. He only felt two forces hidden deep within his soul.

The two forces shared the same origin, as though they were one and the same.

Could it be that I have Twin Martial Souls too? A perk for transmigrators?

Kong thought to himself. He was not some clueless Little White; he understood the matter of Twin Martial Souls.

With his eyes closed, Kong naturally had no idea what was happening outside.

Strands of Purple Thunder slowly emerged across his body, making Yu Luomian and the others widen their eyes. What was going on with this child?

He had a lightning attribute too?

Subconsciously, they glanced at Yu Yuanzhen. When they saw the "shocked" expression on Yu Yuanzhen's face, Yu Luomian and the others became even more confused.

What was going on? Wasn't this child brought back by you? Why were you so shocked?

"That's right, that's right!"

Yu Yuanzhen muttered, the shock on his face transforming into wild delight!

Suddenly, the Purple Thunder around Kong's body surged. A violet figure slowly appeared behind him.

She showed neither sorrow nor joy, her eyes simply fixed upon Kong before her.

"???"

"???"

As the figure appeared, thunderclouds roiled above the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and Purple Thunder formed a vortex of lightning.

The sky was torn open by a rift, like an eye staring down at the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's Awakening Hall.

Yu Luomian and the others: "..."

Was it still too late to regret what they had done before?

A bolt of Purple Thunder descended from the thunderclouds, piercing through the transparent glazed tiles above the Awakening Hall and striking the awakening formation without deviation.

Then, a purple longsword flickering with lightning appeared beside Kong.

Yu Yuanzhen was the closest person to Kong. Feeling the imposing aura radiating from the violet figure and that longsword, cold sweat could not help but break out on his forehead.

That longsword gave him the feeling of a divine artifact that had slaughtered gods...

"Child of man, this body is noble and exalted, yet if it is entrusted to you..."

After saying this, the violet figure did not continue. Instead, she transformed into a bolt of Purple Thunder and returned to Kong's body...
