Time flew by, and days ago, far away on the Continent, the Blue Lightning Overlord Sect was about to experience a major event.

During a ceremony held at the Blue Lightning Overlord Sect, Yu Xiao Gang, the eldest son of Yu Zhen, stood among the many direct lineage disciples. All the direct lineage disciples wore expressions of excitement, because today was the most important day of their lives—the day they would awaken their Martial Souls. Awakening a Martial Soul was the most important thing in any Soul Master's life, so the direct lineage disciples chattered amongst themselves.

"Do you think I'll awaken the Blue Lightning Overlord Dragon Martial Soul?"

"Of course! Your father's Martial Soul is the Blue Lightning Overlord Dragon Martial Soul, and your mother also has a dragon-type Martial Soul. You'll definitely awaken the Blue Lightning Overlord Dragon Martial Soul."

"That's right, don't worry. Even if you don't awaken the Blue Lightning Overlord Dragon Martial Soul, it'll definitely mutate in a direction that leads towards it."

"That's true. He's just overthinking it. Maybe he'll even test for a high level of Innate Soul Power."

"That's what I'm saying. You guys are right to educate him. I have a better feeling about someone among us!"

"You mean Yu Xiao Gang?"

"Does that even need to be said? The Sect Leader's eldest son, who has received countless resources since birth for cultivation."

Listening to the crowd's words, a young child dressed in luxurious clothing stood out amongst the people, listening to the others' flattery. Yu Xiao Gang's lips curved into a slight smile, and he rejoiced in his heart: "Hmph, these guys are just setting the stage for me to pull away from them today."

"I'll make you all see that when you look at me, the first thing that comes to mind won't be the Sect Leader's eldest son, but my name, Yu Xiao Gang."

Yu Zhen, standing on the high platform, looked at his son below and felt an infinite sense of expectation for Yu Xiao Gang, hoping that he would awaken the Blue Lightning Overlord Dragon.

The Blue Lightning Overlord Sect's Grand Elder looked at the disciples chattering below, circulated his Soul Power, and addressed the disciples: "Everyone, stand properly and prepare to awaken your Martial Souls."

The chattering disciples quickly stood together in an orderly fashion. Yu Xiao Gang was at the back of the line. He felt that, as the Sect Leader's eldest son, he should be the last to appear in this Martial Soul awakening, then awaken the Blue Lightning Overlord Dragon and amaze everyone.

A Soul Master of level fifty walked in front of the disciples, circulated his Soul Power, and a Blue Lightning Overlord Dragon appeared behind him, with five Soul Rings floating around him: yellow, purple, purple, black. He addressed the disciples: "Please each of you step into the Awakening Array. I'll be responsible for helping you awaken your Martial Souls."

Hearing the Soul Master's words, the disciples walked forward one by one in an orderly fashion to awaken their Martial Souls.

"Yu Feng, Martial Soul: Blue Lightning Overlord Dragon, Innate Soul Power level seven."

"Yu Lin, Martial Soul: Blue Lightning Overlord Dragon, Innate Soul Power level six."

"Yu Xiaohuo, Martial Soul: Fire Dragon, Innate Soul Power level seven."

"Yu Xiaoshan, Martial Soul: Earth Dragon, Innate Soul Power level five."

…………

As the Awakening Master announced the Martial Souls of the sect disciples, it finally came to the last one, also the son whom the Sect Leader held high hopes for—Yu Xiao Gang.

"Yu Xiao Gang, please step into the array." The Soul Masters respectfully invited him forward.

Seeing this, Yu Xiao Gang's vanity was greatly satisfied, but his face was expressionless. He simply gave a slight nod and walked into the Awakening Array, putting on a show.

Upon seeing Yu Xiao Gang enter the Awakening Array, the Soul Master began to awaken his Martial Soul.

Suddenly, countless points of light appeared around Yu Xiao Gang, and a giant dragon emitting a holy light slowly materialized in his hand.

"Golden Holy Dragon!"

"It's actually a Golden Holy Dragon!"

The sect leaders sitting on the high platform exclaimed in unison.

Sect Leader Yu Yuanzhen also stood up and shouted: "Haha, the heavens favor the Blue Lightning Overlord Sect!"

"My son has actually awakened a Golden Holy Dragon Martial Soul."

"The sect has a successor!"

The sect disciples also shouted in unison:

"Yu Xiao Gang!"

"Yu Xiao Gang!"

Yu Xiao Gang in the Awakening Array saw this scene, his lips curved into a slight smile, and he fantasized about showcasing his talents on the Continent in the future, becoming famous throughout the Continent, and being revered by all, reaching the pinnacle of his life.

Just as everyone was excited, a sudden change occurred in the Awakening Array. The Golden Holy Dragon's illusory form suddenly became blurred, began to fade, and finally completely disappeared, transforming into a purple little pig.

"What's going on!"

"That's right, why did the Golden Holy Dragon's illusory form disappear and turn into a little pig?"

Faced with this sudden situation, everyone below began to whisper and discuss.

The elders on the stage were filled with despair. A perfectly good Golden Holy Dragon Martial Soul had turned into a pig Martial Soul. They all mentally screamed, "The heavens do not favor the Blue Lightning Overlord Sect!"

Yu Yuanzhen felt despair in his heart and slumped into the Sect Leader's chair, shouting to the heavens, "Why? Why is this happening to my son? Why is he being treated so unfairly!"

Yu Xiao Gang's relative stepped forward and addressed the crowd: "What's the panic?"

"It's not like he failed the awakening, is it?"

"Isn't there still his Innate Soul Power to test?"

"If his Innate Soul Power is high, then his Martial Soul definitely won't be simple."

Many of the Blue Lightning Overlord Sect's leaders came to their senses. The Fourth Elder addressed the Soul Masters below: "Immediately test Yu Xiao Gang's Innate Soul Power."

The Soul Masters below heard the words and softly called out to Yu Xiao Gang, who was standing blankly: "Yu Xiao Gang, place your hand on the Soul Power Testing Crystal. We're going to test your Innate Soul Power."

Yu Xiao Gang, as if he hadn't heard a thing, kept muttering to himself: "Why? Why did my Golden Holy Dragon turn into a pig?"

Everyone fell silent at the sight, and Yu Yuanzhen on the stage shouted, "Yu Xiao Gang, what are you still standing there for? Test your Innate Soul Power!"

The sudden shout of his father jolted Yu Xiao Gang back to reality, and a spark of hope ignited in his heart. He reassured himself repeatedly, "I must awaken a higher level of Innate Soul Power, Innate Full Soul Power would be best."

Looking at his serious father on the high platform and the expectant faces of his relatives, Yu Xiao Gang confidently placed his hand on the Soul Power Testing Crystal.

But the expected burst of light from the crystal didn't appear. Instead, a faint glimmer, barely visible, emanated from it. The Soul Master assisting with the awakening shook his head at the sight, then said with a sigh, "Yu Xiao Gang, your Martial Soul is a Dragon Pig, and your Innate Soul Power is 0.5 level."

Adding "Dragon" before "Pig" was a subtle gesture from the Soul Master, hoping to give Yu Xiao Gang some face.

The Soul Master's disappointed voice was like a boulder dropped into a still pond, creating a wave of shock among the crowd. People below began to murmur.

"It's over, Yu Xiao Gang is finished."

"Right, a Golden Holy Dragon turned into a pig!"

Yu Yuanzhen on the stage sighed in disappointment. Yu Xiao Gang's relatives fainted from the shock. Seeing this, Yu Yuanzhen had someone help them to a room.
