Time flies like an arrow. Six years have passed since the birth of the twin stars in Dragon City.

These six years were a period of flourishing martial arts on the Martial Way Douluo Continent, and also the most peaceful, warm, and fulfilling six years of Yu Yuanchen's life.

Yu Yuanchen, who disliked worldly affairs, completely abandoned sect matters. Yu Boxuan saw that his grandson's ambitions lay elsewhere, and that his son Yu Mingfeng Cultivation Level leaps and bounds under Yu Yuanchen's tireless guidance and resource allocation. Furthermore, with Yu Yuanchen's assistance, his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul underwent a small sublimation.

Like Yu Yuanchen during his Soul Emperor era, Yu Mingfeng could activate his bloodline and temporarily Martial Soul Evolution into the Thunder Sacred Dragon, greatly increasing his combat power. Yu Boxuan then officially handed over the position of Sect Master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to Yu Mingfeng, while he himself retreated behind the scenes, devoting most of his energy to enjoying his grandchildren (Yu Yuanzhen, Yu Luomian, and the two little ones Yunting Yunyao) and his own cultivation.

The back garden of the Dragon City Young Sect Master Mansion became Yu Yuanchen's most frequent residence. In spring, he would admire the flowers; in summer, he would listen to the cicadas; in autumn, he would sweep the fallen leaves; and in winter, he would watch the snow. He could always be seen accompanying his two young children.

He might patiently guide them to strengthen their muscles and bones, hone their Blood Essence, and cultivate the most basic Martial Way Foundation Building Chapter; or he might tell them about the customs and stories of the continent and the sages, making learning fun; or he might simply become an ordinary father, chasing and playing with them on the grass, letting their clear and innocent laughter fill the courtyard.

Yu Yunting and Yu Yunyao, the Dragon-Phoenix Twin, grew up healthy and strong under the careful care of their parents and the entire clan. The older brother, Yunting, inherited his father Yu Yuanchen's handsome features and deep eyes. Even at a young age, he showed a lively, active, bold, and curious nature. He was particularly fascinated by the Thunder Power displayed by his father and often pestered Yu Yuanchen with questions.

The younger sister Yunyao, is more like her mother, Ye Zhilan. She has delicate features, a quiet and obedient nature, a sensitive mind, and a natural affinity for flowers and plants. She often stays quietly by her mother's side, watching Ye Zhilan tend to those exotic flowers and plants.

Yu Yuanchen treated his children equally, showering them with endless patience and love. He was never overly strict with Yunting because he was a boy, nor did he spoil Yunyao excessively because she was a girl.

He taught them etiquette and manners, but never restricted their innocence and naivety; he imparted the foundation of Martial Way to them, but focused more on cultivating their perseverance and Goodness heart. Under the guidance of Yu Yuanchen and Ye Zhilan, the two little ones, despite their noble status, showed no arrogance whatsoever. They were intelligent, polite, and sensible, yet still possessed the liveliness and cuteness that children should have.

Occasionally, Yu Yuanchen would briefly leave Dragon City, either to inspect and lecture at the "Tianxing Martial Arts Academy" to keep track of the progress of Martial Way promotion on the mainland, or to meet with Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen at their invitation. The three top experts of the time would sit down and discuss the Dao, exchange cultivation experiences, and their relationship would become increasingly harmonious.

Even after Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen left, Demon Quelling City in the Demon Plane remained peaceful and gradually stabilized, becoming an important stronghold and resource-producing area for humanity in this other world. Across the continent, the Martial Way trend has spread like wildfire, the strength of low-level Soul Master has generally improved, and the entire Soul Master World is quietly changing.

During these six years, Yu Yuanchen's own cultivation did not stagnate. Although he no longer deliberately tried to break through his realm, through persistent effort, his Cultivation Level more and more profound, and his aura became more restrained and vast, making him unfathomable in the eyes of outsiders. The biggest change was the shattered Thunder God Position deep in his Sea of Consciousness.

Nourished by a large amount of Power of Faith, and with his own deepening understanding of the Thunder Law, the God Position Fragments has been pieced together to roughly reconstruct its outline. Although it is still full of cracks and far from complete, it is no longer as fragmented as it was before, and faintly exudes the magnificent divine Divine Might that only a complete God Position possesses.

In fact, Yu Yuanchen were willing, with his current foundation and the massive amount of faith that his God Position had accumulated over countless years before he obtained God Position, he could completely repair the God Position and attempt to merge with it, thus stepping into the God Level in one fell swoop.

But he did not do so. He deliberately maintained the "imperfect" state of the God Position position, like a master craftsman who, when repairing a priceless treasure, intentionally left some "room for maneuver".

Before a complete restoration, he wanted to use his understanding of Martial Way and his knowledge of the essence of power to further "modify" and "strengthen" the Thunder God Position, making it more compatible with himself and giving it greater potential for the future. This was both an ambition and a confidence.

Even so, with this initial restoration of his God Position, Yu Yuanchen was already able to use some of the true divine abilities. For example, he could now use his transformed Soul Power (which was almost Divine Power) combined with his understanding of the essence of Soul Ring to create "God-Bestowed Soul Ring" by hand. However, if he relied solely on his own Soul Power, the maximum lifespan of the Soul Ring he could condense would be around 50,000 years.

To condense God-Bestowed Soul Ring with a higher limit, or to significantly increase the age of someone else's existing Soul Ring (the maximum increase for a single Soul Ring is about 50,000 years), one must consume precious Power of Faith. Yu Yuanchen's own Soul Ring Configuration has already been raised to a terrifying level of five black, three red, and one orange-gold through his efforts.

As for why he didn't upgrade all of them to over 100,000 years, it's because at his level, the increase in combat power brought by one or two more Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring is negligible. He prefers to use his Power of Faith in more crucial areas.

Another piece of good news concerns Ye Zhilan. A year after giving birth to Yunting and Yunyao, she successfully broke through to level 90 and became Titled Douluo. Under Gu Yuena's careful arrangement and protection, she did not hunt Soul Beast, but successfully contracted a 100,000-year-old Plant Spirit Beast and used a portion of its essence to condense her Ninth Soul Ring.

When Yu Yuanchen learned that Ye Zhilan had contracted with the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor, he was stunned and couldn't help but marvel at the strange twist of fate. He was almost certain that this Blue Silver Emperor was Ah Yin, Tang San's mother from the original story.

However, history has changed. Before Ah Yin could take human form, she was discovered by Gu Yuena and became her wife's contracted partner. Ye Zhilan's Sacred Heart Immortal Begonia Martial Soul inherently possessed a trace of the status of the King of Immortal Herbs of Immortal Herbs, giving her the potential to control plants, but it was never quite perfect. Contracting with the Blue Silver Emperor, a queen among Plant Spirit Beast with a vast Life network and tenacious Life Force, was a perfect match.

Ye Zhilan not only obtained a powerful Ninth Soul Skill, but her control over plants underwent a qualitative change, evolving from simple communication and nourishment to true "domination".

She can manipulate plants with ease for combat, defense, and support, and can even temporarily imbue them with various special attributes. Her "Immortal Begonia Domain" has also evolved, allowing her to draw Life Force from plants within its range to replenish herself and her teammates. As long as the domain remains unbroken, she is virtually immortal! Thanks to this opportunity, Ye Zhilan's Cultivation Level advanced rapidly, now reaching level ninety-five, surpassing her grandfather Ye Kuan, and earning her the title of "Immortal Begonia Douluo," making her arguably the number one Healing System on the continent!

Today is an extraordinary day for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan —the two children of the Young Sect Master, Yu Yuanchen, Yu Yunting and Yu Yunyao, are turning six years old and will hold Martial Soul Awakening ceremony at the sect's ancestral shrine!

The news had already spread, and the entire Dragon City was filled with an atmosphere of celebration and anticipation. Everyone in the clan was curious: what kind of extraordinary Martial Soul would these two children, who possessed the unparalleled talents of their parents, awaken?

As dawn broke, the ancestral hall was already solemn and dignified. The Sect Master Yu Mingfeng, the former Sect Master Yu Boxuan, Ye Kuan, the head of the Ye Family and his wife, Ye Zhilan's parents, and other close relatives and elders were all present. Yu Yuanchen and Ye Zhilan, with their two children, stood in the center of the hall.

Six-year-old Yunting and Yunyao, dressed in meticulously tailored formal wear, had expressions of excitement mixed with a hint of nervousness at this important moment. They knew that today would determine their future paths.

Yu Yuanchen noticed the children's nervousness, squatted down, looked them in the eye, his gaze gentle yet firm. "Ting'er, Yao'er, don't be nervous. Martial Soul Awakening is merely the starting point for seeing your innate talents. No matter the outcome, with your father and mother here, we will pave the most suitable path for you. Even if your Martial Soul Mutation is unfavorable, your father has ways to help you defy fate and guide it to evolve to a higher level."

His words were calm, yet they contained an undeniable and powerful confidence and a father's love as firm as a mountain. Yunting and Yunyao, who had grown up listening to their father's invincible legends, had a blind worship and trust in him. Hearing this, they felt much more at ease and nodded vigorously.

"Let's begin," Yu Yuanchen gestured to the Patriarch who was presiding over the ceremony.

The Elder bowed respectfully, took out a large Awakening Stone, and placed it on the magic circle in the center of the ancestral hall. A soft light shone, enveloping the magic circle area.

"Young Master Yunting, please step forward," the Elder said gently.

Yu Yunting took a deep breath, glanced at his parents, and under Ye Zhilan's encouraging gaze and Yu Yuanchen's steady watchful eye, he strode resolutely to the center of the magic array and stood still.

The Elder's Soul Power was injected, Awakening Stone shone brightly! Streams of golden light, like living things, Entanglement around Yu Yunting's young body.

In an instant, something unexpected happened!

"Roar--!"

A tender yet already majestic Dragon Roar suddenly erupted from Yu Yunting's body! Brilliant Purple-Gold Lightning shot into the sky, coalescing behind him into a three-meter-long, majestic dragon-shaped phantom with imposing scales, prominent horns, and countless fine Electric Snakes Entanglement its body. A powerful Dragon Might aura spread out, though far inferior to its father's, but the pure and rich aura of the Thunder Sacred Dragon Bloodline made the blood of all the clansmen present with Dragon Martial Soul boil!

"Thunder Sacred Dragon! It's the Thunder Sacred Dragon Martial Soul, Super Martial Soul!" an Elder exclaimed in shock!

"What pure bloodline! This Dragon Might... it even faintly resembles Chen'er's youthful spirit!" Yu Boxuan's hand trembled slightly as he stroked his beard, his eyes bursting with uncontrollable ecstasy!

Immediately afterwards, the crystal ball for testing Soul Power was presented to Yu Yunting. He placed his hand on it again, and the crystal ball unsurprisingly burst forth with dazzling light!

Innate Full Soul Power!

The ancestral hall erupted in cheers! The Thunder Sacred Dragon Martial Soul, with Innate Full Soul Power! This was a perfect inheritance of his father's unparalleled talent! The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would gain another pillar of strength in the future!

A hint of relief and understanding flashed in Yu Yuanchen's eyes. He could feel that the purity and richness of the Thunder Sacred Dragon Bloodline within his son's body were no less than that of himself in his youth! His starting point was far superior to that of ordinary people.

Yu Yunting felt the surging power within his body and the Dragon Shadow behind him. His little face flushed with excitement, and his gaze toward his father was filled with pride.

"Good boy." Yu Yuanchen nodded slightly to him.

Next, it was Yu Yunyao's turn.

The little girl seemed startled by her brother's earlier commotion and walked somewhat timidly to the center of the magic circle.

The Awakening Stone shone brightly once more.

There was no earth-shattering Dragon Roar, no raging thunder. Instead, a soft and Life Force emerald light, like a warm tide, rippled out from Yu Yunyao's body.

Amidst the radiance, a plant stands out with its elegant shape, crystal-clear jade-like body, leaves resembling those of a crabapple, and petals displaying a noble white-gold Immortal Spiritual Qi lingers around its stamens. A delicate fragrance permeates the air, soothing the soul and seemingly capable of healing all wounds.

Around the flower, countless tiny green dots of light swirled and danced. Upon closer inspection, these dots turned out to be miniature phantoms of thousands of plants! The entire Martial Soul exuded a rich Life Force and a strange majesty that commanded all plants.

"Sacred Heart Immortal Begonia! It's Madam's Sacred Heart Immortal Begonia Martial Soul!" someone recognized it.

The Sacred Heart Immortal Begonia was so lifelike, exuding a powerful Life Aura, and its quality clearly reached the level of Super Martial Soul!

The Soul Power test was, as always, a foregone conclusion.

Innate Full Soul Power!

Once again, exclamations of amazement and congratulations rang out within the ancestral hall! The elder brother inherited his father's will, and the younger sister carried on her mother's legacy; both possess Top-tier Martial Soul with Innate Full Soul Power! What a blessing this is for Blue Lightning! A sign of auspiciousness and prosperity for the sect!

Tears of emotion welled up in Ye Zhilan's eyes as she quickly stepped forward and embraced her daughter. Yu Yunyao nestled in her mother's arms, a relieved smile on her face.

Looking at the scene before him, Yu Yuanchen was filled with boundless satisfaction and joy. He walked to his wife and children, gently stroking his son's head with one hand and putting his arm around his wife's shoulder with the other. His gaze swept over his excited family members, and he laughed loudly, "Good! Ting'er and Yao'er have both lived up to your mother's and my expectations! This is a great joy for the sect!"

He looked at his two children, his tone solemn and full of expectation. "Ting'er, having inherited the Thunder Sacred Dragon, you should understand the path of fierce courage and perseverance, but also know that although thunder is violent, it also has the potential for growth; it wields Destruction, yet also harbors compassion. Yao'er, having inherited the Sacred Heart Immortal Begonia, you should cultivate the art of benevolent healing, but also understand that compassion must have an edge, and the power of healing can also be used for protection and conquest. Your parents will guide you on your future path, but how far you go ultimately depends on yourselves."

"Yes, Dad! Your daughter remembers!" Yu Yunting and Yu Yunyao replied in unison, their little faces full of seriousness.

Inside the ancestral hall, Lei Dong, and the festive atmosphere reached its peak. Elders such as Yu Boxuan and Yu Mingfeng were overjoyed, as if they could already see an even more glorious future for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Ye Kuan was also overwhelmed with excitement, looking at his granddaughter with eyes full of pride. The reappearance of the Sacred Heart Immortal Begonia Martial Soul meant that the Ye Family's legacy would usher in an unprecedented era of glory!

The Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony concluded successfully. Yu Yunting and Yu Yunyao, the Dragon-Phoenix Twin showered with love and affection, officially embarked on their path as Soul Master. Their starting point far exceeded the world's imagination, and their future is destined to be as brilliant and legendary as their parents'.

Holding his children's hands, Yu Yuanchen and Ye Zhilan exchanged a smile. The harmony of the family, the continuation of the bloodline, and the prosperity of the sect—all of this was the most precious treasure he had fought and grown stronger to protect.

Outside the window, the sun shines brightly, and the sky over Dragon City is a clear, deep blue. A new era is quietly beginning, accompanied by the rise of a new generation. And Yu Yuanchen's story, with the birth and growth of his two children, has gained a warmer and more profound dimension.
