Star Sword, Body Martial Soul, Innate Full Soul Power

As his consciousness returned, Lin Yao sensed a warm current continuously emerging within his body, flowing through him and nourishing his limbs, bones, organs, and entrails.

This warm current was several times stronger than it had been during his Martial Soul awakening. It constantly strengthened his body, gradually improving every aspect of it and consolidating his physical foundation.

At the same time, after the warm current flowing through his body had nourished and strengthened all his flesh, blood, and Meridians to a certain extent, it seemed to reach saturation.

Then, it began gathering toward his palms and chest.

The power converging in those two places was rich and pure, yet brimming with powerful vitality. What it nurtured felt like tender bamboo shoots, on the verge of breaking through the earth.

A trace of delight flashed through Lin Yao's eyes at the changes within his body. He felt fortunate, and also expectant.

He was fortunate that he had entered that palace connected to the myriad worlds during his Martial Soul awakening and obtained his greatest trump card. From then on, the sky was the limit.

What he anticipated was that, with his understanding of Soul Land, he naturally knew that the warm currents gathering in those two places were forming the exceedingly rare Twin Martial Souls.

Moreover, judging from the increasingly powerful and majestic aura emanating from his hands and chest, they were clearly stronger than his father's Green Peak Sword, an Attack Type Martial Soul that had already broken through to Soul Ancestor.

A newly awakened Martial Soul possessed such a formidable foundation and aura even without a single Soul Ring attached. It was obviously a top-tier Martial Soul.

As for his current talent, possessing Twin Martial Souls with two top-tier Martial Souls made him a monstrous genius. In terms of pure talent alone, he was already among the top ten on the continent.

Of course, that was only compared with the first Soul Land era. By the time of Huo Yuhao, or even the Legend of the Dragon King era, one would be embarrassed to call oneself a genius without two or even three Martial Souls.

Still, Lin Yao was already quite satisfied.

For his original self, such talent would have been impossible. At best, he would have been only slightly stronger than the Martial Souls inherited from his father and mother.

In the original work, even a Martial Soul like the Hell Spirit Cat, somewhere between high-tier and top-tier Martial Souls and among the weakest after becoming a god, had been utterly beyond the reach of his original talent.

Yet merely by fusing with his counterparts from Academy World and Hong Kong Movies, along with his own potential, he had gained such talent from the very beginning.

It was hard to imagine how explosively his talent and strength would grow when more worlds arrived in the future, perhaps even worlds with powerful figures capable of overturning mountains and seas or destroying stars with one hand!

He looked forward to it.

Things were different now. Everything was different. Lin Yao's entire bearing had changed.

For example, Lin Yuyang, who had been watching his son all this time, could clearly sense some of those changes.

At times, he seemed like a sword light with its edge fully revealed; at others, he gave off the feeling of deep valleys concealing rivers, restrained and profound like an abyss, standing firm as a mountain.

However, those impressions vanished in an instant, and he returned to calmness.

"As expected of a top-tier Martial Soul!"

Lin Yuyang sighed inwardly once more.

He believed Lin Yao's changes were simply caused by the influence of awakening a top-tier Martial Soul, which had altered his temperament before he quickly brought it under control.

Meanwhile, after suppressing the turbulent emotions in his heart, Lin Yao prepared to adapt to the power flowing through his body and examine the condition of his Martial Souls.

Naturally, even though everyone present was a peer he knew, Lin Yao had no intention of displaying both of his Martial Souls. It was best to keep something in reserve.

Even though his potential was immense, before turning that potential into strength, revealing his talent of possessing a top-tier Martial Soul was already the limit.

Even so, Lin Yao thought that he needed to find a force capable of protecting him in the early stages as soon as possible. At the very least, it needed a Soul Fighting Douluo expert, or he could easily be snuffed out.

The Douluo Continent was so vast. Why were there only a few people who ever rose to prominence? Aside from the fact that truly talented people were scarce, more geniuses died at the whim of others.

Once such geniuses died, no matter how valuable or promising they had been in life, they became as worthless as weeds by the roadside.

With that thought, Lin Yao compared the changes in energy within his hands and chest, then chose to conceal the stronger change in his chest.

Fortunately, after stacking the spiritual power of his counterparts from Academy World and Hong Kong Movies in that palace, he could easily use his strengthened spiritual power and enhanced control over himself to hide the changes in his chest.

Then, his hands slowly came together before him before gradually separating. A silver longsword shimmering with starlight appeared.

The blade seemed to contain the radiance of countless stars, while constellations such as the Big Dipper appeared reflected within it.

Its cold gleam was dazzling against those constellations. At its peak, it seemed capable of bringing down a single slash and causing all stars to fall.

"This is... the Star Sword!"

As Lin Yao looked at the Star Sword Martial Soul before him, a thought stirred in his mind, and the relevant information naturally surfaced.

The Star Sword was a powerful Martial Soul awakened through the fusion of his parents' Martial Souls, his own foundation, and what he had gained from the palace.

Based on Lin Yao's understanding of the power systems across the myriad worlds, Star Power was the hallmark of top experts even in the highest worlds.

In low, middle, and High Martial worlds, it was an overwhelming force capable of slaughtering everything with a dimensional advantage.

In the Douluo World, the Star Sword was connected to Star Power and could even draw upon the power of the stars filling the heavens to nurture and strengthen itself. It held an enormous advantage.

That was, it would not suffer bloodline suppression from the Dragon God in Dragon Valley on the other continent of Douluo Star, nor from creatures like those utterly shameless little dragonfolk from the fourth Soul Land era.

As for the transformation that began from his chest and spread through his entire body, a name unconsciously surfaced in Lin Yao's heart.

Body Martial Soul.

A Body Martial Soul even more powerful than the Star Sword, a weapon Martial Soul—the true essence of the Douluo World, akin to the embryonic form of sacred and divine bodies among the myriad worlds.

"A top-tier Martial Soul. Yao, I never expected you to encounter such fortune."

At that moment, after personally witnessing the Martial Soul Lin Yao had summoned and sensing its powerful aura, the last trace of uncertainty in Lin Yuyang's heart vanished. He could not help but praise him.

"Judging by the aura your sword displays, it clearly possesses some traits of my Green Peak Sword Martial Soul while also combining the power of your mother's Star Radiance Martial Soul. This is a Martial Soul mutation during awakening—and an exceptionally perfect, beneficial mutation at that."

"Father truly is knowledgeable. I was merely lucky."

Coming back to his senses, Lin Yao heard the praise and pride in his father's words and replied modestly.

That was not entirely wrong. Aside from inheriting Martial Souls from both parents, Martial Soul awakening also involved Martial Soul mutations that could turn heaven into hell and hell into heaven in a single thought.

Compared to Yu Xiaogang, he had been luckier. During his Martial Soul awakening, he had entered the Cheat palace and stacked the power of his counterparts from two worlds.

Otherwise, after repeatedly comparing and confirming it, Lin Yao knew that his Martial Soul would have been, at most, a high-tier Martial Soul. In the first Soul Land era, he would have been an insignificant extra who might have had a name.

As for the Peerless Tang Sect era ten thousand years later, or the Legend of the Dragon King era twenty thousand years later, awakening only a high-tier Martial Soul would make him a nameless passerby unworthy of even a mention.

"Haha, you brat!"

Hearing Lin Yao's modest words, Lin Yuyang laughed heartily and patted him on the shoulder.

As for the extraordinary sword in Lin Yao's hand, Lin Yuyang now had only one thought in mind.

As long as the child before him grew up safely, the Lin Family would certainly produce a powerful Soul Saint.

If his luck was good in the future, breaking through to an eight-ring Soul Fighting Douluo or even a nine-ring Title Douluo might not be impossible.

Using that as a foundation, they could establish a family with a top-tier Martial Soul inheritance and a renowned name across the continent. That would directly skip the accumulated efforts of dozens of generations.

The existence of a genius truly gave limitless hope to a household, even an entire family.

Once they grew up, they could bring earthshaking changes.

Lin Yuyang sighed inwardly, setting aside the fantasies inspired by Lin Yao's talent, and began asking him about his Martial Soul.

"Yao, this Sword Martial Soul of yours, fused with Star Radiance, should never have appeared on the Douluo Continent before. As its owner, you should possess the relevant information. What is this sword called?"

"Father, the sword is called Star Sword. It is a top-tier Martial Soul."

Holding the Star Sword, Lin Yao looked at the Big Dipper flickering faintly within it, along with what seemed to be other constellations. His gaze shifted slightly as he answered softly.

"Star Sword. A fine name. Come, test your Soul Power. For your Martial Soul to undergo a beneficial mutation into a top-tier Martial Soul, the prerequisite is that your own potential must be powerful. Your Soul Power cannot be low, so don't worry."

Lin Yuyang handed over the Crystal Ball used to test Soul Power.

He was eager to share this joy with his wife and simply wanted to finish quickly.

"Alright."

At his words, Lin Yao withdrew the Star Sword in his hand and placed his right hand on the Crystal Ball.

In an instant, the Crystal Ball emitted an incomparably dazzling light, several times more brilliant than Lin Jing's, whose Soul Power had been the highest among those awakened earlier.

"Good! Innate Full Soul Power! Innate Soul Power rank ten! Once he obtains his first Soul Ring, Yao will become a true Soul Master. He is far ahead of where I was at his age. Truly, each generation surpasses the last."

Standing before Lin Yao, Lin Yuyang saw that everything had finally settled and no further surprises arose. He could not help clenching his fists in excitement.

"A large part of it is thanks to the foundation you and Mother laid, Dad."

Lin Yao was not surprised that he had awakened the protagonist-standard Innate Full Soul Power. Hearing Lin Yuyang's excited words, he replied softly.

"Yao, this is all your fortune. What enviable talent—top-tier Martial Soul and Innate Full Soul Power.

"According to certain records, the strength of one's Innate Soul Power is linked to the strength of one's Martial Soul. A top-tier Martial Soul does not necessarily come with Innate Full Soul Power.

"However, a top-tier Martial Soul with Innate Full Soul Power is undoubtedly an exceedingly rare existence across the entire continent.

"The former signifies cultivation speed, while the latter signifies combat ability. The two complement each other. Only with personal effort added to the equation can one have a chance to become a true powerhouse.

"It would not be an exaggeration to say you possess the potential to become a Title Douluo."

Yet after seeming to think of something, Lin Yuyang patted Lin Yao's shoulder as he instructed him. A hint of disappointment flashed deep within his eyes.

His child's talent was simply too strong.

Though he was only a Soul Ancestor now, he still had a chance to obtain a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring in the future and become a Soul King powerful enough that even the lord of a great city could not slight him.

However, for a continent-level top genius like Lin Yao, whose Innate Full Soul Power defied all reason, it would likely take only a few years for him to surpass his father.

At the same time, because Lin Yao's talent was too extraordinary, Lin Yuyang's strength as a Four-Ring Soul Ancestor was simply insufficient to protect his child and ensure his smooth growth.

As a sense of helplessness rose within him, a thought that had long existed in his heart grew ever stronger.

The children who had awakened their Martial Souls on the other side had already worn expressions that said it was only natural when Lin Yao awakened a top-tier Martial Soul.

Still, after understanding the significance of Innate Full Soul Power, even though they had been mentally prepared by Lin Yao's earlier display, they continued staring at him in shock.

To obtain a Soul Ring immediately upon awakening and become a true Soul Master—Boss Lin Yao was about to soar into the heavens.

That was the thought in the hearts of most of the children present. As for Lin Jing, who ranked just behind Lin Yao, she was happy for him but also felt somewhat dejected.

Was she never going to beat that guy Lin Yao in this life?!
