Purple Gold Dragon Emperor

Three soul rings floated beside him—yellow, yellow, purple. The aura unique to a Soul Elder erupted, and his martial soul, the Heart Moon Sword, appeared in his hand.

Yet even so, Xin Ya's face remained pale. He could not understand why a child who had only just awakened his martial soul could unleash such overwhelming might. Even a top-tier martial soul should not have been capable of this.

"What happened...?" Shen Yue rushed into the awakening room. Looking at the wrecked room and the children crying and running everywhere, she was at a loss.

Just as the two of them were helpless, the aura of destruction and annihilation gradually calmed. A bright beam of light emerged from Gu You's body. At the same time, a pale purple dragon shadow appeared behind him, carrying waves of Dragon Might.

Innate Full Soul Power!

Shen Yue might not have been able to sense such dense Soul Power fluctuations, but Xin Ya, already a Soul Elder, certainly could. This fluctuation was even far greater than ordinary Innate Soul Power.

His heart could not settle for a long time. Skysea City had actually produced someone with Innate Full Soul Power. Even he had only possessed Level Seven Soul Power in the past. This matter had completely exceeded what he could handle.

Gu You's body fell, and Xin Ya reached out to catch him. Looking at the boy in his arms, whose face was full of pain, Shen Yue hurriedly activated her Soul Guide Communication and called Tianhai Holy Soul Hospital. Afterward, she continued comforting the frightened children.

In the corner...

Earth-yellow scales covered Yue Tian's arm. His entire body trembled uncontrollably, and his eyes were no longer filled with that ignorant "wisdom." Instead, they had become much clearer.

During this time, Gu You had remained immersed in one ancient scene after another. Of course he knew who that nine-colored dragon shadow was—the Dragon God, the former supreme God King. Yet he had no impression whatsoever of that purple dragon shadow.

Perhaps my transmigration was not an accident. Gu You's lashes lowered slightly. Those scenes clearly told him that neither he nor his martial soul could escape the main storyline of Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena's Dragon King tale in the future. But he did not care. In his previous life, he had been an orphan abandoned by the world. He was the same in this life, but at least someone had once cared for him.

Time passed in an instant. When Gu You woke up, he was already in the hospital. All sorts of unfamiliar Soul Tools, along with a Soul Wave Detector, continuously scanned his body.

"You're awake," the doctor beside him said slowly.

"Mm." Gu You's face was somewhat pale. He looked around. Apart from several doctors, there was also a middle-aged man dressed in unusual attire.

"Child, your martial soul is unusual. There is no record of it, not even in history. For this type of dragon martial soul, I would like to ask on behalf of the Tianhai Spirit Controlling Tower whether you would name your martial soul so we may register it within our Spirit Pagoda." His expression was solemn, and his formal attire was immaculate. The doctors around him looked at him with great respect.

Gu You nodded. So he was from the Spirit Pagoda. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Purple Gold Dragon Emperor!"

The treatment room fell silent. Throughout history, how many martial souls had dared call themselves emperors? It seemed that the boy before them possessed extraordinary ambition. Yet in Gu You's heart, he simply thought it sounded incredibly cool. After all, a dragon capable of contending with the Dragon God needed an imposing name.

"I will register it. Child, are you interested in joining the Spirit Pagoda?" Before the middle-aged man could finish speaking, the door to the treatment room was pushed open. A young man dressed in formal clothes entered, with Xin Ya following beside him.

"Why is your Spirit Pagoda openly poaching people?" the young man asked with a smile.

"Haha, in that case, let us compete fairly. Child, if you join our Spirit Pagoda, we will provide you with resources guaranteeing a one-hundred-percent chance of breaking through to Super Douluo. We will also hire at least an eighth-level teacher for your secondary profession and send you to the best academy under our banner." The middle-aged man laughed heartily.

The doctors exchanged glances. The situation was obviously not right, so they decided it was best to slip away first.

Gu You's expression appeared completely calm, but inwardly he was already bursting with joy. Resources to reach Super Douluo, an eighth-level teacher for a secondary profession—wasn't this the peak of life? He had originally thought his martial soul was poor, but now there was only one word to describe how he felt: awesome!

Just as he was about to agree, the young man spoke. "The Federation will not restrict you. We can offer everything he promised, and we can also give you a place to enroll directly at Shrek Academy. The only requirement is that we hope you will pledge loyalty to the Federation."

His words rang out forcefully. The man was stunned, and Gu You even more so. Direct admission into Shrek, with the same resources and teachers, yet without the restrictions imposed by the Spirit Pagoda. The only requirement was merely a verbal pledge of loyalty.

Naturally, Gu You understood the pros and cons involved. The fact that the Spirit Pagoda dared compete with the Federation for talent showed that the three great powers were gradually slipping out of the Federation's control. Innate Full Soul Power might not amount to much on its own, but to major powers, it meant a future Titled Douluo. That was why the Federation had intervened to restrict them. But if so, why would they still let him join Shrek...? Gu You pondered for a long time without finding an answer. The Spirit Pagoda was ultimately only a faction, while the Sun Moon Federation would later even develop weapons like star-destroying warships, capable of instantly killing a Limit Douluo. The answer was already obvious. Gu You raised his fist and immediately swore, "I am willing to be loyal to the Federal Government, loyal to the Douluo Plane, and loyal to the people of Douluo."

The young man smiled. Xin Ya's expression beside him was rather complicated. Before awakening, no one knew him; after awakening, everyone wanted him. And it was even a contest between the government and a top-tier power. Xin Ya truly felt a little envious.

The middle-aged man from the Spirit Pagoda snorted coldly and left in anger.

"Since that is settled, I will take my leave. This is my business card, child. Keep it safe. If anything happens in the future, you can come find me. I will have Xin Ya stay with you. Once the procedures are completed, he will notify you and take you to Shrek Academy." The young man stroked Gu You's fringe, then left without hesitation.

Looking at the business card in his hand, Gu You froze. Chen Shilin, official councilor of Heaven Dou City. He was a major official. Every vote cast by a councilor in the Federal Council could potentially determine the future development of the Sun Moon Federation.

What puzzled Gu You, however, was that Heaven Dou City was incredibly far from here. Could the Federation really recruit him solely because of his Innate Full Soul Power?

Perhaps seeing Gu You's confusion, Xin Ya let out a long sigh. "I reported your situation to the Skysea Government. I did not expect it to cause such a commotion. Councilor Chen was probably here on an inspection assignment and happened to hear people discussing you, so he specifically asked me to bring him here to see you personally."

Gu You nodded. That did make sense.

"What about Teacher Shen Yue?"

"She should still be at the orphanage, taking care of the children," Xin Ya replied.

"Alright, then let's go back." Gu You got to his feet. He wanted to tell someone this news. Ever since he was little, Gu You had often heard Shen Yue say that if Grandma had not found him by the seaside, he would not be who he was today. That was worth remembering. She was also his only family in this unknown world.

"Not yet. Your injuries have not healed." Xin Ya shook his head helplessly. Given Gu You's current status, if he went out before being fully treated and something happened, Xin Ya would be the one punished.

Seeing Xin Ya's insistence, Gu You could not say much more. "Then teach me how to meditate. And tell me some basic knowledge about martial souls..."

Xin Ya nodded. Even if he refused now, Gu You would have to learn it eventually. It would be better to teach him in advance.
