Azure Dragon Emerges from the Sea, Demon Armor Descends (Part Two)

In a place like the countryside, reaching Innate Soul Power level five meant her talent was truly excellent. Calling her one in a thousand would not be an exaggeration.

Soon, the second child also stretched out her right hand. She was likewise a girl.

Only, this girl did not have the same talent as the first.

Her martial soul was a snow-white rabbit, and her Innate Soul Power was level three.

Although she was far behind her good friend, the little girl was not disappointed. On the contrary, she was especially happy.

Having soul power meant that as long as she worked hard, she could become a Soul Master. Once she became a Soul Master, her father and mother would not have to work so hard.

The third was a boy. His martial soul was a sickle, and his Innate Soul Power was level three.

The fourth was still a boy. His martial soul was a sausage, and his Innate Soul Power was level three.

The fifth was a girl. Her martial soul was a lark, and her Innate Soul Power was level three.

The sixth was a girl. Her martial soul was a lark, and her Innate Soul Power was level three.

They were a pair of twins.

Soon, it was the seventh child's turn. He was a sturdy, lively little boy.

His martial soul was a chopping knife, and his Innate Soul Power was level three.

"This really is strange. Aside from the first child, everyone else has Innate Soul Power level three." Shen Tianlei's expression grew more and more odd. Starting six years ago, whenever children in this village awakened their martial souls, they all possessed soul power, and it had even been unusually consistent. Today, it had even surpassed the previous level two and directly reached level three.

"When I have children in the future, should I send them here to awaken too?" Shen Tianlei suddenly had an idea.

Soon, it was the eighth child's turn. Seeing that his little friends had all awakened martial souls, he was a little nervous too. After he stretched out his hand, the points of light inside the light barrier flowed into his palm.

The next second, a huge black shadow appeared behind the boy. Shen Tianlei hurriedly looked over, surprise in his eyes. "Lone Wolf Martial Soul!"

"A wolf!"

The other children sitting on the stools were all startled and hurriedly stood up to hide to one side.

The Lone Wolf was also considered an upper-middle-grade martial soul, a type with extremely powerful offensive strength.

"Come test your soul power." Shen Tianlei picked up the crystal and placed it in front of the boy.

The boy reached out in a daze and placed his hand on the crystal. Soon, the inside of the crystal was rapidly covered by blue light. In the end, it actually filled sixty percent of the crystal's interior.

Innate Soul Power level six!

The corner of Shen Tianlei's mouth twitched.

"Sir!" the boy called out weakly.

"Your martial soul is the Lone Wolf, and your Innate Soul Power is level six." Shen Tianlei wiped the nonexistent sweat from his forehead. Innate Soul Power level six—even in Baihe City, it had appeared no more than five times.

This was already quite a high soul power level. In the future, as long as he cultivated diligently, he might not be unable to reach Soul Emperor, and might even have a chance to push toward Soul Saint.

Only, Shen Tianlei thought of something and could not help sighing.

On the path of Soul Master cultivation, besides diligence, external resources were also extremely important. But children from the countryside—how could they have that many resources to support them?

The boy returned to the stool excitedly. Only then did the little friend beside him tentatively kick him a few times. "Are you a wolf or a person?"

Hearing this, the boy rolled his eyes at him.

In the end, only one person was left who needed to awaken his martial soul.

Qin Ze looked calmly at Shen Tianlei, and Shen Tianlei also looked at Qin Ze.

Faced with the boy's calmness, Shen Tianlei could not help taking a few more looks at him.

He said gently, "Come, stretch out your right hand."

Qin Ze nodded and walked up to the awakening platform. Looking at the awakening stones before him, he could not help taking a deep breath. Then he reached out his hand.

Whoosh!

The light barrier covered him. A warm, gentle current surged through his whole body, as comfortable as soaking in a hot spring.

Points of light spread out from within the light barrier, finally appearing in Qin Ze's right palm.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a strange scene occurred. Qin Ze's water-blue eyes actually turned into Vertical Pupils.

Shen Tianlei naturally noticed all of this. Before he could think further, his pupils suddenly shrank.

On Qin Ze's body, countless blue crystal particles gathered together. In the end, they actually transformed into a suit of silver-blue armor covering his whole body. Strange blue halos swept across the armor. On the armor's left arm, a sharp blade was hooked backward, and where the biceps were located, there were two shoulder plates. Behind his head were several rhombus-shaped crystals combined together like a ponytail.

What Shen Tianlei could not understand most was that in Qin Ze's right hand, he was also holding a huge, strangely shaped blade in a reverse grip. Cold light flickered on the blade, and a suffocating aura spread from it.

"What martial soul is this?" Shen Tianlei kept searching through the martial souls he knew in his memory.

While Shen Tianlei was thinking, Qin Ze was already stunned. This was the Demon Armor?

The armor's shape, as well as the great blade in his hand—others might not recognize them, but how could he not?

"Roar!"

Suddenly, a change occurred. Inside the awakening room, the light dimmed in an instant, and layer after layer of ripples appeared for no reason, like a calm water surface being stirred.

An azure dragon shadow actually coiled and slowly appeared beside Qin Ze. The dragon shadow was very illusory, making it hard to see its exact appearance clearly.

But those dragon eyes were almost identical to Qin Ze's eyes.

"Azure Dragon?" Qin Ze turned his head to look, and his body instantly froze.

The dragon shadow did not last long, only a few short seconds, and then it disappeared without a trace.

The awakening room soon returned to its usual appearance.

But at this moment, inside the room, it was so quiet that even the drop of a needle could be heard.

Shen Tianlei's gaze had frozen. He stared blankly at the place where the dragon shadow had vanished, completely motionless.

"Ugh!" Qin Ze let out a muffled groan. In the next instant, the armor on his body automatically transformed into tiny crystal particles and scattered.

That blade disappeared along with it.

Thud!

Qin Ze's breathing became extremely rapid. He dropped directly to one knee on the ground, his face flushed red. Sweat dripped from his forehead, as if he had borne some indescribable pressure.

"Demon Armor and Azure Dragon—why would my martial soul be this?" Qin Ze's Vertical Pupils also returned to normal. At this moment, countless thoughts raced through his mind, and he could not make sense of them.

Buzz!

Suddenly, a golden light flashed from Qin Ze's heart. Time seemed to pause. Qin Ze stared blankly in place. In his mind, at some unknown point, an Illusory World had appeared.

Within the world floated piece after piece of equipment he knew well, and all of this equipment was covered by some peculiar energy.

Qin Ze looked over them one by one.

Eye of the Phoenix, Thorned Armor of Retaliation, Guardian of Eternal Night, Armor of Explosions... all of them were equipment from Honor of Kings.

But apart from these pieces of equipment that seemed to be sealed, there was nothing else in the Illusory World.

"System?"

Qin Ze tried calling out, but no answer appeared.

This also meant that a system did not exist.

Buzz!

A trembling sound startled him. The world spun before Qin Ze's eyes. In a daze, he came back to his senses, only to see that the void world before him had already disappeared. What appeared before his eyes was Shen Tianlei's worried face.

"You suddenly fainted. How is it? Can your body hold on?"

Qin Ze suddenly became alert. He was not sure whether Shen Tianlei had seen anything just now.

"Master, what happened to me just now?"

Shen Tianlei calmed himself, then said in a somewhat strange tone, "After the dragon shadow and armor disappeared, you passed out. Can you tell me what your martial soul is exactly?"

Shen Tianlei considered himself fairly knowledgeable, but what had happened today had still shocked him. The aura emitted by that armor and blade had even made him tremble. This was not trembling because of strength, but martial soul suppression!

His martial soul was actually extremely afraid of this armor martial soul. And what was that dragon shadow?

Qin Ze looked at Shen Tianlei and said, "My martial soul is called Demon Armor!"

"Demon Armor!" Shen Tianlei nodded. After saying this, he added, "Come, stretch out your left hand. I believe you are very likely the most astonishing Twin Martial Souls in the Soul Master world."

Listening to him, Qin Ze directly stretched out his left hand. Inside the light barrier, the points of light flowed into his left hand. Several seconds passed, and nothing happened.

"What's going on!" Doubt appeared on Shen Tianlei's face. His guess had actually been wrong.

Qin Ze's display was not at all like Twin Martial Souls.

"That dragon shadow seems to be one with my Demon Armor Martial Soul," Qin Ze suddenly said.

Hearing this, Shen Tianlei froze. The Demon Armor and the dragon shadow were one, which meant this boy did not have Twin Martial Souls.

However, the martial souls of Douluo Continent came in all kinds of strange forms, so Shen Tianlei did not find it too hard to accept. It was just a pity. He had thought that in his lifetime, a peerless genius with Twin Martial Souls might emerge from his own hands.

Shen Tianlei said, "Your Demon Armor Martial Soul is very strong, but I don't know exactly what grade it belongs to. In the future, you can only explore it yourself."

"I understand!" Qin Ze nodded.

"Come on, let's test your Soul Power Level," Shen Tianlei said.

Looking at the crystal before him, Qin Ze directly reached out and placed his hand on it.

Whoosh!

In an instant, an extremely strong suction force came from his palm. Qin Ze felt the energy inside his body rapidly surging.

Inside the crystal, countless blue lights appeared. Almost in the blink of an eye, the entire large crystal was covered by light, not leaving even the slightest gap.

The crystal emitted a dazzling radiance, like a brilliant blue gemstone.

"Innate Full Soul Power!"

Shen Tianlei took a deep breath and pronounced it word by word.

No system, no system, no system.

Not Twin Martial Souls, not Twin Martial Souls, not Twin Martial Souls!
