Martial Soul Awakening-Emperor Aurora Sword!

After a while.

"You two little brats, sneaking around and eating my soul beasts again! Just watch how I teach you both a proper lesson today!"

Gong Changlong's furious voice came from nearby.

The moment Ye Chen saw that Gong Changlong had discovered them, he immediately played the victim and said to Qian Duoduo.

"Elder Gong, it was all Brother Beibei's idea. He said this Spicy Rabbit was delicious and wanted me to try it. Are these soul beasts raised by you, sir? I didn't know anything."

Ye Chen's adorable appearance, coupled with his bewildered, remorseful expression, made him seem like an award-winning actor reborn. It was devastatingly effective.

At the sight of this, Gong Changlong's eyes nearly overflowed with affection. He then turned a fierce glare on Beibei.

"Little Chen, stand to the side for now. Once I'm done teaching Beibei a lesson, I'll personally catch two soul beasts for you as snacks."

Beibei could neither laugh nor cry. "No, little brother, are you treating your big brother like some Sun Moon Person?"

Just as Beibei was about to say more, Gong Changwei had already arrived before him and smacked him on the head.

"Beibei, you've truly disappointed me. You set a bad example for your little brother every day. I need to give you a proper lesson on Mu En's behalf."

With that, he lifted Beibei up, laid him across his lap with his backside flat against it, and began smacking him with his large hand.

"No! Elder Gong, I know I was wrong! I wasn't the one stealing food—it was Little Chen! Little Chen brought me along to steal it!"

It would have been better if Gong Changlong had not heard that. Once he did, his hand became even more vigorous.

"Beibei, you're still making your little brother take the blame for you? Looks like I didn't hit you hard enough."

Watching Beibei's miserable state from the side, Ye Chen could not help swallowing.

"Brother Beibei, sorry about this. The capable ones should do more work. You're almost a Soul Grandmaster anyway. Take a couple hits for me, and it'll be over soon."

After disciplining Beibei, Gong Changlong's anger had subsided somewhat.

He then said to Ye Chen, "Little Chen, today is the day of your Martial Soul Awakening. Mu En has been waiting for you for a long time. Come with me shortly to awaken your Martial Soul."

Ye Chen had reached the age for Martial Soul Awakening this year. Today was precisely the day of his awakening.

Ye Chen still felt somewhat anxious about it. After all, he had no idea what kind of Martial Soul he would awaken.

If he awakened a Trash Martial Soul, he would be finished. On the Douluo Continent, the quality of one's Martial Soul was of the utmost importance.

Not everyone was like Huo Gua, starting out with a Million-Year Soul Beast, followed by a four-hundred-thousand-year Ice Emperor Scorpion as his Second Martial Soul.

And even Huo Gua at least possessed a Body Martial Soul, which could undergo Body Martial Soul Awakening in the future and allow him to defy fate.

As for himself, he had been picked up by Mu En. That counted as the greatest benefit he had gained since his rebirth.

His grandfather was among the strongest soul masters on the continent—a Limit Douluo. Although Mu En had suffered wounds that were difficult to heal after his battle with Poison Must Die back then—

With the Golden Ancient Tree at his back, Mu En could be called the strongest soul master alive. Within Shrek Academy, Mu En could even measure himself against Di Tian, though he would most likely still be unable to defeat Lao Di.

Since you sent me here, at least give me a good Martial Soul. I don't want to be trash.

Ye Chen prayed silently, hoping that he would awaken a good Martial Soul shortly.

He was not asking for some God-tier Martial Soul or Ultimate Martial Soul. A Top-Tier Martial Soul with rank eight or nine Soul Power would be enough. Ye Chen was easy to satisfy.

Ye Chen had already made detailed plans for the future. If his Martial Soul's quality was average, or even a Trash Martial Soul, then he would live an ordinary life.

With the identity of Mu En's adopted grandson, Ye Chen believed he could still live out his life safely.

If he awakened a good Martial Soul, then he would marry several women favored by heaven to warm his bed, have a few children, and live happily for the rest of his life.

But if he awakened a Martial Soul powerful enough to be called cheat-level, one capable of competing with Great Buddha Tang—

Then Ye Chen would learn from the Great Sage: "God Kings take turns ruling. This year, it's my family's turn."

Upon arriving at the Sea God Pavilion, Mu En, Xuan Zi, Yan Shaozhe, and the other Sea God Pavilion Elders all turned their gazes toward Ye Chen.

"Little Chen, you're here."

When Mu En saw Ye Chen enter, a delighted smile appeared on his face.

"Today is the day of your Martial Soul Awakening. Let me help you awaken it, cough, cough."

Mu En looked at the child he had raised himself and spoke to Ye Chen with doting affection.

Then, dragging his hunched body along, he took Ye Chen's small hand and walked toward the awakening platform.

As Ye Chen watched the awakening platform draw closer, he took a deep breath and silently prayed that he could awaken a good Martial Soul.

"Little Chen, don't be nervous. Even if you don't awaken a good Martial Soul, with this old man's standing, I can still ensure you live a carefree life."

Mu En looked at Ye Chen, whose hand he held, and clasped his trembling hands. He gave Ye Chen a warm smile, signaling for him not to be nervous.

"Little Chen, spread your hands, relax, and feel your Martial Soul with your heart."

Ye Chen followed Mu En's instructions, spreading his smooth little hands. Guided by Mu En's Light Soul Power, he sensed the Martial Soul that was about to emerge.

Suddenly, he seemed to hear something—and see something.

"I'll give you one last chance. Leave..."

Then Ye Chen saw that incomparably massive Golden Armor. It was so dazzling, so radiant, as though it could cleanse all evil from the world.

Suddenly, the Golden Armor looked at Ye Chen and gave him a slight nod.

A Golden Beam shot toward Ye Chen. At first, Ye Chen still had his eyes closed, but after a while, he slowly opened them and found a Golden Longsword in his hand. It looked incomparably domineering.

"Little Chen! Little Chen, wake up!"

Ye Chen abruptly opened his eyes and found Mu En and the other Sea God Pavilion Elders outside.

Only then did Ye Chen realize that he had just been in an illusion. Yet that illusion had felt so real!

Then Ye Chen felt as though something was about to emerge from his hand. Following the guidance of Mu En's Light Soul Power, a Miniature Golden Longsword appeared in Ye Chen's hand.

The longsword radiated an aura of light, as though it intended to purge all evil from the world.

Patterns were engraved upon its blade, which also had raised and recessed sections. A gemstone was embedded in the hilt, giving it a noble yet powerful feeling.

"This... this is the Emperor Aurora Sword!"

Ye Chen looked at the Miniature Golden Longsword in his hand. Though his face remained expressionless, waves had already risen within his heart.

Mu En, standing nearby, was even more shocked. He could not help throwing his head back and letting out a long cry.

"Heavens bless Shrek! Extreme Light! Today, Shrek has produced another soul master with an Extreme Attribute!"

Feeling the aura of the Aurora Sword in Ye Chen's hand, even Mu En's hand, as steady as Mount Tai, could not help trembling.

"As expected! It truly is Extreme Light!"
