Spirit Awakening

Douluo Continent, Heaven Dou Empire, Heaven Dou City, Imperial Palace.

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

Bai Ge himself was still wearing a completely bewildered expression.

He began recalling what had happened.

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

He had been watching "Saint Seiya" on his computer and following "Douluo Continent" on his phone.

Then, he seemed to have fallen asleep?

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

He had just happened to appear in the middle of a street in Heaven Dou City.

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

What was going on?

Then, just after he realized that he had transmigrated and become smaller, he ran into Qian Renxue's carriage head-on.

After that, Qian Renxue had brought him back.

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

As she spoke, Qian Renxue placed six black stones in position, forming a magic array.

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

Since he had already transmigrated, even if he did not have a system, he should still have a martial soul.

The possibility of having no martial soul was extremely low.

Qian Renxue rapidly clapped both hands, sending six faint golden beams of light into the six black stones on the ground.

At once, a layer of hazy golden radiance was released from the six stones, forming a pale-golden light shield that enveloped Bai Ge.

Immediately afterward, accompanied by a clear, ringing clang, a gorgeous, dazzling suit of golden armor appeared, radiating the sun's brilliant light.

Then, under Bai Ge's stunned gaze, it broke apart into more than a dozen differently shaped pieces of armor. Like birds returning to their nests, they instantly covered his entire body!

"Golden... Saint Cloth!?" Bai Ge now understood why Qian Renxue had brought him back the moment she saw him, and had even personally helped him awaken his martial soul.

There was no doubt about it. It could only have originated from the resonance and mutual attraction between martial souls!

Or rather, a Martial Soul Fusion Skill!

The next instant, an electronic notification sounded in Bai Ge's mind: "Spirit Awakening complete. Dimensional Godhood System activated!"

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

Bai Ge instinctively did as she said.

In an instant, the Crystal Ball seemed to transform into a sun, illuminating the originally dim and chilly room with dazzling golden splendor, as if the entire room had been forged from gold!

Fortunately, Qian Renxue had prepared in advance and set up a barrier. No one noticed the strange phenomenon.

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

"But remember this." Qian Renxue revealed a gentle smile, yet what she said was terrifying. "From now on, you belong to me!"

After saying that, Qian Renxue smiled and rubbed Bai Ge's head. "All right, Xiao Bai. Don't overthink it. Get a good night's sleep first. Tomorrow, I'll take you to obtain a Spirit Ring."

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

At midnight, Bai Ge sat cross-legged on the bed, meditating as he examined his system.

The beginner's gift pack contained two items. One was the Golden Saint Cloth that had now become Bai Ge's martial soul, with the Virgo Golden Saint Cloth as its main body and the wings of the Sagittarius Golden Saint Cloth added on.

For every additional Spirit Ring, he could obtain the battle technique of a Golden Saint Cloth.

Excluding Cancer, whose attribute was undead-based and therefore incompatible, as well as Leo and Sagittarius, whose zodiac battle techniques were identical, one had to be subtracted.

In addition, Capricorn's battle technique, "Sacred Sword," did not require a Spirit Ring. It came innately with the martial soul.

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 Aura and the Knight Aura.

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

Of course, transforming into an Ultraman was impossible. In terms of the power level of the Douluo world, an Ultraman capable of destroying stars already completely surpassed the so-called god level.

Not to mention that the Poseidon Trident weighed 108,000 jin, or 50.4 tons, while Ultraman Mebius had an arm strength of 90,000 to 200,000 tons. How could they compare?

He would be crushed into dust instantly.

Thus, to Bai Ge, they were equivalent to gaining two additional lightsabers.

More accurately, Bai Ge could be considered capable of releasing skills while in Ultraman's human-host state.

Bai Ge kept the Knight Aura as his second martial soul.

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

And as for what the Mebius Aura was—did that even need explaining?

Apart from a Soul Guidance Device, was there any better explanation?

After obtaining the system, Bai Ge could finally put his mind at ease.

From the very beginning, he had never been fixated on remaining in the Douluo world.

The Douluo world's combat power was truly pathetic.

If he really wanted to become a god, wasn't the "Coiling Dragon" world much better?

In the original story, Qian Renxue's ending was truly hard to accept.

Have Qian Renxue inherit the Angel God Position and remain trapped in this world?

Sorry, Bai Ge refused!

As for Tang San, Bai Ge did not care about him.

If the two of them became enemies in the future, they could simply fight!

They were both transmigrators. One had a cheat, while the other had a system. Who was afraid of whom?

As for Tang San's values, Bai Ge did not find them strange at all.

Let's not forget that apart from being a technology nerd who studied hidden weapons, Tang San's true profession was a member of the Tang Sect!

In other words, he was a professional assassin who killed for money!

Using the values of an ordinary person from Bai Ge's previous life to measure the values of a professional assassin—wasn't that ridiculous?

As for the gatekeeper at Notting Academy, he was just an ordinary person who had tried to extort a Spirit Master—a killer, no less. The fact that he did not die meant he was lucky!

On the Douluo Continent, when ordinary people offended Spirit Masters, it was a capital crime!

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

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

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

In other words, Qian Renxue had already been infiltrating Heaven Dou since she was nine.

At that time, Qian Renxue should have been approaching Xue Qinghe and imitating his speech, mannerisms, living habits, and other details.

Once the time was right, she would replace him.

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

As for why Qian Renxue had chosen Xue Qinghe as her target, Bai Ge had thought about it repeatedly and concluded that the two of them were probably close in age.

Judging from her appearance, Bai Ge estimated that Qian Renxue was around twelve.

First, replacing someone required an opportunity. The most common one was something like suffering a serious illness.

And if she had just replaced Xue Qinghe and then immediately made a move against the Second Prince, it would have been far too rushed.

The First Prince had just recovered from a serious illness, and then the Second Prince died as well. That would have aroused too much suspicion.

Furthermore, Xue Qinghe's original talent and abilities were inferior to those of the Second Prince, and changing that impression also required time.

On top of that, fine-tuning his behavior, mannerisms, and habits all required time.

As for why Qian Renxue had not sent herself to Spirit Hall, the reason was simple as well. Qian Renxue was on bad terms with Bibi Dong, so how could she possibly strengthen an enemy?
