Martial Soul Awakening

Douluo Continent, Heaven Dou Empire, Heaven Dou City, imperial palace.

More precisely, this was the room of Heaven Dou Empire's eldest prince, Xue Qinghe—or rather, Qian Renxue.

Bai Ge himself was still utterly bewildered.

He began recalling what had happened.

First, he had stayed up all night binge-watching anime.

Saint Seiya had been playing on his computer, while he had been following Douluo Dalu on his phone.

Then, he seemed to have fallen asleep?

When he woke up, he had arrived in this world.

He had happened to be standing right in the middle of a street in Heaven Dou City.

What confused him even more was that he had turned into a six-year-old little brat?

What was going on?

Then, just as he had realized that he had transmigrated and become younger, he had run into Qian Renxue's carriage head-on.

After that, Qian Renxue had brought him back.

"Stop spacing out. Stand in the center of the Magic Array." Qian Renxue's voice rang out.

As she spoke, Qian Renxue arranged six black stones, forming a Magic Array.

"Ah! Okay." Bai Ge answered and hurriedly did as told.

Since he had already transmigrated, even if he did not have a system, he should at least have a Martial Soul.

The odds of having no Martial Soul were not high.

Qian Renxue swiftly formed seals with both hands, sending six faint golden rays into the six black stones on the floor.

At once, a hazy golden glow spilled from the six stones, forming a pale golden barrier that enveloped Bai Ge.

Immediately afterward, accompanied by a clear metallic cry, a magnificent and dazzling suit of golden armor appeared, radiating the brilliant light of the sun.

Then, under Bai Ge's stunned gaze, it split into more than a dozen pieces of armor of different shapes and instantly covered his entire body like birds returning to their nest!

"Golden... Saint Armor!?" Bai Ge finally understood why Qian Renxue had brought him here the moment she saw him, even personally helping him awaken his Martial Soul.

Without question, it could only have come from the resonance and mutual attraction between their Martial Souls!

Or rather, a Martial Soul Fusion Skill!

The next instant, an electronic notification sounded in Bai Ge's mind: "Martial Soul Awakening. Dimension Godhood System activated!"

Before Bai Ge could inspect the system in his mind, Qian Renxue's voice rang out beside his ear again. "Put your hand on this Crystal Ball."

Bai Ge did so instinctively.

In an instant, the Crystal Ball seemed to turn into a sun, illuminating the somewhat dim and chilly room in dazzling gold, as if the entire room had been forged from gold!

Fortunately, Qian Renxue had been prepared. She had set up a barrier in advance, so no one noticed the phenomenon.

"Innate Full Soul Power. Little fellow, your talent is excellent, and my luck is quite good as well."

"But remember," Qian Renxue said with a gentle smile, though her words were terrifying, "from now on, you belong to me!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Qian Renxue smiled and rubbed Bai Ge's head. "All right, Xiao Bai. Don't overthink it. Get some proper sleep first. Tomorrow, I'll take you to obtain a Soul Ring."

Cold sweat instantly broke out across Bai Ge's forehead. What should I do if my future designated girlfriend is a yandere? Waiting online, urgent!

In the middle of the night, Bai Ge sat cross-legged on his bed, meditating while examining his system.

The beginner's gift pack contained two items. One was the Golden Saint Armor that had now become Bai Ge's Martial Soul, with the Virgo Gold Saint Armor as its main body and the wings of the Sagittarius Gold Saint Armor added to it.

For every additional Soul Ring, he could obtain the combat technique of one Gold Saint.

Cancer was excluded because it belonged to the undead type, and its attribute did not match.

Sagittarius, meanwhile, required a hundred-thousand-year Light Attribute arm Soul Bone to unlock.

In addition, Capricorn's main combat technique consisted solely of "Holy Sword." It did not require a Soul Ring to unlock and came with the Martial Soul itself.

That worked out perfectly.

Besides that, the other item in the beginner's gift pack was a pair of bracers.

More precisely, they were the Mebius Breath and Knight Aura.

In other words, the transformation devices of Ultraman Mebius and Ultraman Hikari.

Of course, transforming into an Ultraman was impossible. Given the power level of the Douluo world, an Ultraman capable of destroying planets would already utterly crush so-called God-level beings.

To say nothing else, Poseidon's Trident weighed one hundred and eight thousand jin—only fifty-four tons—while Mebius's arm strength was ninety thousand to two hundred thousand tons. How could those even compare?

It would be instantly reduced to scraps.

So, to Bai Ge, they were equivalent to gaining two additional light swords.

More accurately, Bai Ge was like an Ultraman using skills while in his human form.

Bai Ge would keep the Knight Aura as his second Martial Soul.

As for the Mebius Breath, its attributes happened to be light and fire, so he naturally intended to give it to Qian Renxue.

And as for what the Mebius Breath was? Did that even need explaining?

Other than a Soul Tool, was there any better explanation for it?

Having obtained the system, Bai Ge finally put his mind completely at ease.

From the very beginning, he had never intended to remain confined to the Douluo world.

The Douluo world's power level was truly pathetic.

If he really wanted to become a god, wouldn't the Coiling Dragon world be far better?

Qian Renxue's ending in the original story had truly left people dissatisfied.

Let Qian Renxue inherit the Angel Godhood and remain trapped in this world?

Sorry, Bai Ge refused!

As for Tang San, Bai Ge did not particularly care.

If the two became enemies in the future, then they would fight!

Both were transmigrators—one had cheats, the other had a system. Who was afraid of whom?!

As for Tang San's values, Bai Ge did not find them strange in the slightest.

Don't forget that besides being a tech geek obsessed with researching Hidden Weapons, Tang San's real profession was as a member of the Tang Sect!

In other words, he was a professional assassin who took money to kill!

Wasn't it absurd to judge a professional assassin's values by the values of an ordinary person from Bai Ge's past life?

As for the gatekeeper at Notting Academy, an ordinary person who tried to extort a Soul Master—an assassin, no less—was lucky not to die!

On Douluo Continent, for an ordinary person to offend a Soul Master was a capital crime!

Shaking his head, Bai Ge began recalling the plot again—

In the original Douluo story, Ning Fengzhi stated that Qian Renxue was twenty-nine when her identity was exposed.

Although the original story never said how long Qian Renxue had disguised herself as Xue Qinghe and infiltrated Heaven Dou Empire, only that it had been at least more than a decade, the Douluo Continent anime gave an exact time: twenty years.

In other words, Qian Renxue had already infiltrated Heaven Dou Empire from the age of nine.

At that time, Qian Renxue should have been getting close to Xue Qinghe, imitating the details of his speech, mannerisms, habits, and so on.

Once the time was right, she would replace him.

Incidentally, Xue Qinghe poisoned the Second Prince to death at fourteen. In other words, Xue Qinghe had been replaced by then at the latest.

After thinking it over, Bai Ge concluded that Qian Renxue had chosen Xue Qinghe as her target because they were close in age.

Judging by her appearance, Bai Ge estimated that Qian Renxue should be twelve years old.

First of all, replacing someone required an opportunity, and the most common one was something like a serious illness.

And if she had only just replaced Xue Qinghe before immediately making a move against the Second Prince, that would have been far too rushed.

The eldest prince had just fallen seriously ill, and then the Second Prince suddenly died as well. That would have aroused far too much suspicion.

Furthermore, Xue Qinghe's original talent and abilities had been inferior to the Second Prince's. Changing that impression would also take time.

On top of that, slight adjustments to his behavior, mannerisms, and habits all required time.

As for why Qian Renxue had not sent him to Spirit Hall, the reason was simple. Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong were on bad terms, so how could she possibly strengthen her enemy?

I've also started a new book, Great European Emperor of the Heavens. Everyone can go take a look.
