God-level Martial Soul, Innate Soul Power Level 21

Douluo Continent, in a remote yet prosperous little city.

Knock, knock, knock! The gates of Lu Mansion were struck. Lu Leng opened the door, and a young woman stood outside.

"You're here?"

"I'm here."

"Come in."

"Who's going first?"

"I'll go first."

Inside the sealed room, the young woman frowned slightly. "You rich people are really strange. You're even being so secretive about awakening a Martial Soul."

"Hehe, I just don't want to embarrass myself. What if I awaken some trash Martial Soul? Wouldn't that disgrace me, Lu Leng, if word got out?" Lu Leng said with a grin.

Of course, that was not what he truly thought.

What Lu Leng actually feared was awakening an overly awesome Martial Soul and being forcibly taken away once Spirit Hall found out.

If I didn't know Spirit Hall would eventually be finished, would I be crazy enough to spend money hiring you for an awakening? Lu Leng snorted inwardly.

He sized up the woman. She was quite beautiful, with an alluring air about her. Well, this wasn't a loss either.

"Hurry up. After your awakening, I still have to go to my next client." The woman tossed six stones into the air. Golden light immediately appeared, signaling Lu Leng to begin the awakening.

"I didn't expect you wild boars to have such good business."

"What wild boars...?"

"Nothing."

Lu Leng stepped into the curtain of light and carefully sensed the marvelous changes taking place in his body.

"Extend your right hand."

Lu Leng immediately did so, and a long saber appeared in his palm.

The saber was long and slender, with a narrow blade and an ink-black body. Its appearance somewhat resembled a Tang Horizontal Saber. Yet compared to a Tang Horizontal Saber, it lacked that elegance and possessed far more dominance. The moment it appeared, a terrifying aura of destruction enveloped the entire room. It felt like suppression from the soul itself, and the woman instantly found it hard to breathe, as if she were about to suffocate.

Above the saber, thunderclouds churned, purple lightning serpents coiled around it, and flames and electric arcs flickered. Its thunderous might resembled heavenly punishment itself, making one's heart tremble.

"This is...?" The woman looked somewhat dazed. She did not dare guess. Only after a while did she continue, "This is a Tool Martial Soul, but I've never seen one like it. Still, its quality is definitely among the very best."

She looked at Lu Leng, her eyes filled with envy and astonishment.

"Hurry and put your Martial Soul away. It's too oppressive." The woman could barely endure it any longer. Then she took out a crystal ball. "Test your Soul Power."

Lu Leng withdrew his Martial Soul, then stretched out his hand and placed it on the crystal ball.

In an instant, brilliant light burst forth! "Innate Full Soul Power!!"

The young woman could not help crying out. Even the blinding radiance could not conceal the shock in her eyes.

But it was not over yet. Once the light reached a certain intensity, even more dazzling points of light began appearing on the crystal ball.

One, two, three...

The number of light points rapidly rose. Ten, eleven...

Nineteen, twenty, twenty-one! A full twenty-one!!

"Innate Soul Power Level 21!!" The woman's mouth hung open in shock. At that moment, Lu Leng stood before her like a monster.

Innate Soul Power Level 21—how was that possible?

Innate Full Soul Power alone was already the mark of a genius rarely seen once in a hundred years on Douluo Continent!

Level 21 was simply beyond anything she could imagine! Did someone with such terrifying talent truly exist in this world?

Thinking of this, the woman looked at Lu Leng with a burning, doubtful gaze.

Lu Leng immediately got goosebumps under that look. "What are you doing? Don't tell me you want to eat me? It's only Level 21. What's there to make such a fuss about?"

Lu Leng genuinely felt there was nothing wrong with it. As a transmigrator, wasn't it perfectly normal for him to obtain a top-tier Martial Soul and Innate Full Soul Power? If he couldn't even manage that, then everyone should be surprised.

Sigh, little girls were little girls. They startled so easily! "All right, you can leave now. Remember not to tell anyone about me, especially Spirit Hall!" Lu Leng began driving her out. This news absolutely could not reach Spirit Hall, so he issued a warning.

"Why?" The woman had been about to speak when she heard that, and immediately asked in confusion.

What was wrong with Spirit Hall? Did he look down on Spirit Hall?

So many people wanted to join Spirit Hall and could not even get in.

"Don't ask why. You wild boars took the money, so you have to keep your clients' secrets. That's your duty as well," Lu Leng said coldly.

"I'll help the others awaken first, then." The woman did not know why Lu Leng was so resistant to Spirit Hall, but given his talent and her current identity, she did not say much more.

"They've already awakened. I only arranged this as a cover to mislead others. Hurry up and leave."

As he spoke, Lu Leng pushed and ushered the young woman right out of Lu Mansion.

The woman looked at the closed gates and gave a cold snort. "Hmph. Now that I, Hu Liena, have discovered you, do you think you can still escape in this lifetime?"

"I need to hurry back and report to Teacher." Hu Liena did not waste another moment and immediately set off.

Meanwhile, inside the house, Lu Leng suddenly shuddered. "Strange. The sun's pretty bright, isn't it?"

Two days later, Spirit Hall, Pope's Palace.

"Nana, is what you said true?" Bibi Dong's slender, long legs abruptly rose from her seat, her expression somewhat excited.

"Teacher, Nana did not speak a single false word!" Hu Liena said. "I just don't know why Lu Leng is so resistant to our Spirit Hall. When awakening his Martial Soul, he would rather spend money hiring someone than let Spirit Hall awaken it for free. If I had not happened to be training nearby this time, I truly might not have discovered him."

"This is not up to him. On this continent, no one has ever defied my Spirit Hall!" Bibi Dong sneered.

"Yue Guan, come with me. I'll personally tie him up and bring him back!" Bibi Dong revealed her domineering side.

"But Teacher, what if he holds a deep grudge against Spirit Hall? Aren't you afraid he might do something extreme?" Hu Liena asked worriedly.

"It doesn't matter. Such a peerless genius—I will keep him in Spirit Hall even if I have to brainwash him." Bibi Dong's eyes burned with intensity. His talent was even greater than Qian Renxue's. Such a genius had to belong to Spirit Hall.

"Set off immediately. We must avoid complications!"

"Yes!"

Hu Liena could not help feeling a little embarrassed upon hearing this. No matter how talented he was, he was only a six-year-old child. Teacher, was such a grand display really necessary? But she must not forget—this was Bibi Dong. The Spirit Hall she commanded had always acted this domineeringly! Far away, Lu Leng looked at the sun in confusion and muttered, "How strange. I keep having a bad feeling."

Another two days later.

Outside Lu Mansion.

Lu Leng was being carried by Ju Yueguan like a chick.

He had a packed bundle of luggage on his back. Clearly, he had intended to run away, only to be caught by the arriving trio of Bibi Dong.

His face was full of frustration, and he gritted his teeth in hatred. "So that's why I've been feeling restless these past few days. Sure enough, nothing good happened. What a pity... I was still one step too late."
