Douluo Continent, Sun Moon Federation.
Aolai City.
Today marked the annual Martial Soul Awakening Day.
The entirety of Aolai City was immersed in an exceptionally lively atmosphere.
Though it was still early in the morning, the streets outside Red Mountain Academy were already packed, filled with parents bringing their children to undergo Martial Soul Awakening.
Red Mountain Academy, outside the awakening room.
"Next, Fang Yang!"
A Teacher at the academy called out a name as he looked at the form in his hand.
"Here." Fang Yang immediately answered.
The Teacher gave him an indifferent glance before opening the door to the awakening room. "You, go in."
It had been a full six years since Fang Yang had transmigrated to Douluo and been adopted by Lin Ximeng.
However, there was one piece of good news and one piece of bad news!
The good news was that Fang Yang had transmigrated. The bad news was that he had transmigrated into the gutter of fantasy worlds.
"Douluo Continent!"
"You already have a death wish," "Watch my Blue Silver Grass Entanglement," and "Revive, my love"...
Those words were no joke!
Of course, compared to being in Douluo, Fang Yang would rather follow the humanities student Flame Emperor, or the martial arts student Martial Ancestor. Either would be better than this place!
His thoughts vanished in an instant, and Fang Yang regained his composure.
Still, since he was here, he would make the best of it.
This was the best of times, and this was the worst of times...
The Dragon King Era: the Golden Silver Twin Dragons descended into the world, the Holy Spirit existed in the world, the Soul Beast Clan sought revenge, and the Abyss Plane invaded.
Actually, those were all manageable. After all, none of those dangers compared to God King Tang and his Ten Thousand Year Plan!
Now, it was finally time for Martial Soul Awakening.
Fang Yang took a deep breath and slowly walked into the awakening room. The door closed behind him.
Inside the awakening room, the sight of the runes filling the room made Fang Yang dizzy.
Those runes stirred a strange feeling within him.
The feeling was subtle, as though something inside his body was restless and eager to move.
"Child, don't be afraid. Come here."
A middle-aged Spirit Transmitter, dressed in an ancient-looking robe and wearing a gentle smile, spoke to him.
Hearing the Spirit Transmitter's words, Fang Yang nodded and walked over.
The next moment, the Spirit Transmitter raised his right hand and activated the Soul Power within his body.
A soft ball of white light appeared and flowed into the Soul Guide Array in the awakening room.
The light erupted from the Soul Guide Array, transforming into a white barrier that completely enveloped Fang Yang.
Under this ancient and traditional ritual, his Martial Soul was about to awaken!
As Soul Power flowed into Fang Yang's body, he felt a warm current spread through his limbs and bones, leaving him incomparably comfortable.
"Child, come. Raise your right hand and let me see what your Martial Soul is," the Spirit Transmitter said with a smile.
"Okay, Uncle." Fang Yang responded, then stretched out his right hand. A blazing Flame appeared in his palm.
This was his Flame Martial Soul. It radiated intense heat, causing the surrounding air to grow hot.
"An elemental Flame Martial Soul. Its quality is quite good!"
Seeing this, the Spirit Transmitter was delighted and spoke gently.
"Alright, now place your hand over this Crystal Ball and test your Accompanying Soul Power." As he spoke, the Spirit Transmitter took out a Crystal Ball for Fang Yang to test.
"Okay, Lord Spirit Transmitter."
Fang Yang answered.
Looking at the Crystal Ball in the Spirit Transmitter's hand, he gently placed his right hand on it.
Then, Fang Yang felt a stream of energy within his body being drawn into the Crystal Ball.
In an instant, Blue Light bloomed from the entire Crystal Ball. The intense radiance immediately filled the entire awakening room.
"My God, it's actually Innate Full Soul Power!" The Spirit Transmitter cried out in shock, his face immediately filled with wild joy.
Innate Soul Power was the Soul Power Level a soul master possessed upon awakening. The higher one's Innate Soul Power, the better one's cultivation talent. The maximum was level ten, known as Innate Full Soul Power.
As for higher levels, the middle-aged Spirit Transmitter had never heard of them. He only knew that if soul masters with Innate Full Soul Power did not die young, they would basically become top experts on Douluo Continent in the future.
They were precisely the sort of people the Spirit Pagoda was eager to recruit.
Seeing this, the Spirit Transmitter had some thoughts. "Child, would you be willing to join our Spirit Pagoda? We will provide you with the best Cultivation Resources."
"Spirit Pagoda?"
Fang Yang fell into thought, recalling that Gu Yue had also joined the Spirit Pagoda later on.
However, he did not agree immediately. Instead, he declined, saying, "Uncle, I'm sorry, but regarding this matter... I'd like to go back and ask my family first."
The Spirit Transmitter froze for a moment, then understood and smiled. "Child, you're right. Uncle was too impatient."
He reached into his robes, took out a Business Card, and handed it to Fang Yang. "This is my contact information. My name is Su Tao. Child, once you have discussed it with your family, you can come find me at the Spirit Pagoda anytime."
"Thank you, Uncle!" Fang Yang took the Business Card and nodded before turning to leave.
Fang Yang walked out of the awakening room, warm sunlight falling over him.
He narrowed his eyes and quickly spotted that familiar figure in the crowd.
His Mom, Lin Ximeng, stood not far away, watching him gently.
"How did it go?"
The moment Fang Yang came out, Lin Ximeng hurried over and asked with concern.
She knew how important Martial Soul Awakening was to a child.
But upon seeing the smile on Fang Yang's face, expectation quietly rose in her heart.
Fang Yang said joyfully, "Mom, I awakened a Flame Martial Soul, and my Innate Soul Power reached level ten!"
"What? Level ten?"
Lin Ximeng's face was filled with surprise.
As a Teacher at Red Mountain Academy, she naturally understood what Innate Full Soul Power meant. In her excitement, she blurted out, "My son Fang Yang has the makings of a Titled Douluo!"
Fang Yang: "..."
The smile on his face instantly vanished. That was not something she should say! The karma behind those words was far too heavy...
Afterward, Lin Ximeng took Fang Yang's hand and hurried home. As they were leaving the academy, they ran into Tang Ziran and Tang Wulin, father and son.
"Brother Tang, you're here too." Lin Ximeng greeted the Middle-aged Man who had brought a child with him.
"Teacher Lin, hello." Tang Ziran nodded gently and lightly pushed the boy in front of him. "I brought Wulin to awaken his Martial Soul. Today happens to be his sixth birthday."
Lin Ximeng knew Tang Ziran and Tang Wulin, father and son, so they began chatting when they met.
Meanwhile, Fang Yang and Tang Wulin walked over to each other, curiously sizing one another up.
Tang Wulin was a little boy with short black hair.
Though he was only six, he was tall, a little taller than children his age.
What drew the most attention were his eyes. His large eyes were clearly black and white, and his long eyelashes surpassed those of many girls. Though his clothes were ordinary, his outstanding appearance still made him easy to notice.
After only one glance, Fang Yang could not help sighing. As expected of the protagonist—he was already so eye-catching at such a young age.
"Hello, my name is Fang Yang!" Fang Yang greeted Tang Wulin with a smile.
"Hello, my name is Tang Wulin!"
Looking at the boy before him, who was as handsome as a reader, Tang Wulin blinked, introduced himself, then asked curiously, "Did you come here to awaken your Martial Soul too?"
"Yes!"
Fang Yang nodded. Calm and composed, he said generously, "I've already completed the awakening ceremony. My Martial Soul is Flame, and I have level-ten Accompanying Soul Power."
Hearing this, Tang Wulin and the children around them immediately revealed envious expressions. In this world, commoners who possessed Accompanying Soul Power were still in the minority.
What was more, this was Innate Full Soul Power among commoners!
"That's really wonderful, Fang Yang! Congratulations! I wonder whether I can awaken Accompanying Soul Power too!"
Tang Wulin looked at Fang Yang with some envy, his eyes full of anticipation.
Hearing This, Fang Yang glanced at Tang Wulin and said Meaningful, "Wulin, you definitely can."
And far more than that, he added inwardly. The Golden Dragon King was sealed within Tang Wulin's body.
The Golden Dragon King was one of the Dragon God's incarnations.
Tang Wulin revealed a sunny smile. "Thank you, Fang Yang."
After the two parents chatted for a while, Lin Ximeng took Fang Yang and left.
Tang Ziran, meanwhile, continued waiting with Tang Wulin at the entrance to Red Mountain Academy.
If nothing unexpected happened, Tang Wulin would still awaken the Trash Martial Soul Blue Silver Grass and fall into a state of disappointment.
