"Innate Full Soul Power!"
The next moment, the Crystal Ball seemed to have endured pressure beyond what its grade should have been able to bear. It actually cracked!
The husband and wife exchanged a glance. Zhong Tian reacted quickly and struck Su Yuntao on the neck with the side of his hand.
Brother Tao did not disappoint them and promptly fainted.
The moment Su Yuntao passed out, the Crystal Ball exploded on the spot!
Fortunately, after Zhong Tian made his move, Gongsun Li hurried over from the doorway and shielded the bewildered Zhong Li in her arms.
The Crystal Ball's explosion was not very powerful. Even a six-year-old child without Soul Power would not have been injured by it. But Gongsun Li, frantic with concern for her son, did not care about that.
"Son, are you all right? You weren't hurt just now, were you?"
Gongsun Li hurriedly felt Zhong Li all over, checking whether her precious son had been injured.
"Mom, I'm fine. Why did that Crystal Ball explode? Dad, why did you hit Uncle Su Yuntao?"
Zhong Li knew the reason. The Crystal Ball simply could not withstand his Soul Power. His Innate Soul Power was probably not level ten, but level twenty.
Qian Renxue's Six-Winged Angel possessed level twenty Innate Soul Power because of the Angel God. The god had bestowed an extra ten levels of Soul Power upon her.
As for Zhong Li, the talent he had inherited was already quite good. On top of that, he had currently fused with a tiny portion of Morax's template and the divine artifact, the God's Eye.
With such talent, it would make no sense if he did not have level twenty Soul Power.
What Zhong Li did not know was that his talent was actually even greater. It had only been limited by the rules of Douluo Planet.
The powers of the divine artifact and the God's Eye had transformed into Martial Souls.
After confirming that Zhong Li was uninjured—and was, in fact, much stronger than children his age—Gongsun Li finally sighed in relief and said,
"Good boy, Mommy will explain it to you when we get home, all right?"
The Secret Behind Martial Soul Names
The Secret Behind Martial Soul Names
Brother Tao walked out of Grassroots Village dejectedly. He had worked diligently for years before finally awakening a child with Innate Full Soul Power, and one whose Martial Soul was exceptionally powerful at that.
Yet the child was unwilling to join Spirit Hall. Thinking about it, that made sense.
A mighty Soul Saint was living in seclusion in this tiny village. It was perfectly normal for that person's child to refuse to join Spirit Hall.
What he could not figure out was why he had fainted back then. Had he really been too excited?
Forget it. He should hurry to the next village.
This trip had not been without gains. He had seen a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring and a Soul Saint, personally awakened a child with Innate Full Soul Power,
and even received 1,000 Gold Soul Coins, a gift from that Soul Saint.
Still, why did this Crystal Ball feel a little newer than before?
By then, the family of three had already returned home.
Zhong Li recalled what had happened earlier in the little wooden house.
After Zhong Tian used Soul Power to blow the Crystal Ball apart, he gathered every fragment into a bag and tossed it into his Storage Soul Tool.
Gongsun Li then took a Crystal Ball from her own Storage Soul Tool and placed it where the previous Crystal Ball had been.
Afterward, she woke Brother Tao, who had been knocked unconscious...
Once they were home, Zhong Tian shut the door. The three of them sat on stools, staring at one another.
Finally, Zhong Tian could not hold back any longer and said,
"Son, remember this: before you possess sufficient strength, you must never reveal your Second Martial Soul! No outsiders can learn of it. If someone does find out and you can deal with them, then deal with them. If you can't, come back and tell your father. I'll handle them for you."
After saying that, Zhong Tian thought for a moment before continuing,
"Don't attach even a single Soul Ring to it, either. This is for your future. Now, take out your Second Martial Soul and let your mother and father have a look."
Zhong Tian was no softhearted man. In the world of Spirit Masters, anyone who tried to be a saint would not even know how they died.
They had spared Su Yuntao this time because he did not know much. If Zhong Li had exposed his Twin Martial Souls back then, Zhong Tian would have sent Su Yuntao to his grave immediately.
"Okay, Dad. I understand." Zhong Li understood what Zhong Tian meant.
He did not ask why Zhong Tian knew he had a Second Martial Soul. His father had made it so obvious; what was the point of asking? It was not as if his father would harm him.
But his father did not know that his Second Martial Soul would generate Soul Rings on its own. He could only bring that up later.
Gongsun Li watched the father and son from the side without saying anything.
Zhong Tian would say what needed to be said.
She did not care about such things. Her wish was simple: she only wanted Zhong Li to grow up healthy, marry, and have children... That was all she wanted.
"Vortex of Thunder," Zhong Li murmured.
The Vortex of Thunder then appeared in his hand.
At that moment, the Vortex of Thunder was no longer the miniature version it had been during his Martial Soul Awakening.
Zhong Li was relatively well-developed for his age. At six years old, he was already 1.3 meters tall.
The Vortex of Thunder, which was currently only around 1.2 meters long, did not look out of place in his grasp.
Zhong Li casually spun the spear and said,
"This is my Second Martial Soul, the Vortex of Thunder!"
Zhong Tian studied the Vortex of Thunder for a long while, touching it now and then, yet he could not make heads or tails of it.
He only felt that the Vortex of Thunder possessed extraordinary quality and was certainly no ordinary Martial Soul.
"Good, good, good! Son, you inherited the spear. Although your Martial Soul mutated, you can still learn our family's inherited spear techniques!"
Though he knew Zhong Li had awakened Twin Martial Souls, Zhong Tian had only sensed them before. He did not know what Zhong Li's Second Martial Soul actually was.
"Why couldn't it have been a sword? What's so fun about a spear?" Gongsun Li said from the side.
"..."
"..."
Father and son did not know how to answer, so they chose to give up.
"Ah, yes, yes, yes. Li, you're absolutely right. Son, why couldn't you have awakened a sword Martial Soul?" Zhong Tian chose to throw his son under the bus.
Zhong Li looked at his father, who had completely given up, wanting to say something but unable to get the words out.
Silently, he withdrew his Martial Soul into his body and sat on the stool beside Gongsun Li that was reserved just for him.
Gongsun Li rubbed Zhong Li's head. With such a handsome son, she wondered which family's daughter would benefit from him in the future.
"By the way, son, what exactly is your first Martial Soul? The spectacle during your awakening did not look anything like the Green Gem you mentioned."
Only then did Gongsun Li remember the strange scene from her son's Martial Soul Awakening. She had never seen anyone summon a gale that circled around them when awakening a Martial Soul.
"Mom, when my first Martial Soul awakened, it told me that its name was the Wind Element God's Eye..."
"Wait, son, don't say any more."
Before Zhong Li could finish, Zhong Tian sprang to his feet and swiftly covered Zhong Li's mouth.
Under Zhong Li's astonished gaze, he opened the front door and carefully inspected the area around the house.
About half an incense stick's time later, Zhong Tian shut the door again.
He quickly walked over to Zhong Li, crouched before him, and met his eyes. Placing both hands on Zhong Li's shoulders, he said solemnly,
"Son, your first Martial Soul isn't any of that nonsense. It's the Green Gem, only with a little wind attribute mixed in. Understand?"
Neither Zhong Tian's nor Gongsun Li's family was ordinary. They were both core members among the core members of their respective clans.
They had been raised as future family heads from childhood and knew secrets that even Spirit Hall did not know!
Martial Soul names could not be chosen carelessly!
Especially names containing the word "god." If one had no possibility of becoming a god and was not descended from one, then they should prepare to suffer divine punishment.
Once, someone's Martial Soul mutated during their awakening. An ordinary sickle transformed into a gray, long-handled scythe, and they possessed Innate Full Soul Power.
They cultivated smoothly all the way to level ninety and acquired their ninth Soul Ring. Then, that Spirit Master suddenly renamed his Martial Soul the Death God Demon Scythe!
It was fine at first, but before long, accidents began occurring one after another.
Who would have believed that a level ninety-four Title Douluo, with six Soul Bones across their body—including a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone whose source was the same Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast as their ninth Soul Ring—
would die despite being so powerful, with the cause of death being backlash from their own Martial Soul?
There were many similar examples. Every one of them had been a powerful Spirit Master, yet they died in accidents because of their Martial Soul's name.
According to conclusions drawn by a Zhong Family ancestor, these Spirit Masters loved "courting death." The ancestor had even warned later generations in his book: no zuo no die.
The Zhong Family ancestor had written most clearly about that Scythe Douluo. Why? Naturally, because that Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone was currently lying in Zhong Tian's Storage Soul Tool!
And Zhong Li's Martial Soul had told him its own name: Wind Element God's Eye!
Zhong Tian was certain that neither his nor Gongsun Li's ancestors had ever produced a god-level powerhouse. That left only one possibility!
"My son is a Chosen One and possesses the potential to become a god!"
Level 20 Innate Soul Power Was No Longer Enough to Surprise His Parents
Level 20 Innate Soul Power Was No Longer Enough to Surprise His Parents
Gongsun Li deeply agreed with Zhong Tian's words and nodded.
"Son, your father is right. Your first Martial Soul is the Green Gem! Look, it's written clearly on this Spirit Hall certificate."
As though afraid that her son would not believe her, Gongsun Li picked up the Martial Soul certificate on the table and waved it in front of Zhong Li.
Zhong Li looked at his mother, speechless.
Mom, I'm only young! I'm not stupid!
Don't I know how this Martial Soul certificate came about?
"Ah, yes, yes, yes. Dad, Mom, you're right. My Martial Soul is the Green Gem! It just has a little wind attribute, that's all! Besides, I only have one Martial Soul. What first and second Martial Souls are you talking about?"
Zhong Li spread his hands. What else could he do? He could only give up.
Seeing that their son had such awareness, Zhong Tian and Gongsun Li were finally reassured.
"By the way, Brother Tian. Take out that Crystal Ball that can test Soul Power below level thirty and check how much Innate Soul Power our son has."
Gongsun Li ruffled Zhong Li's hair as she spoke to Zhong Tian, who was standing to the side lost in thought.
"Mom originally thought you would remain a Soul Master for a while, so I bought a Crystal Ball for testing Soul Masters. Who knew my darling would be so talented? You skipped the Soul Master stage entirely!"
So that was why you could pull out a Crystal Ball from your Storage Soul Tool and swap it out.
"Li, you really do have a good memory. If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten that we haven't finished testing our son's Soul Power."
Zhong Tian took out a larger Crystal Ball, not forgetting to praise his wife.
With his current level seventy-eight Soul Power, he could roughly sense that Zhong Li possessed Soul Power fluctuations at about level twenty.
Still, it was safer to test it.
Gongsun Li thought the same.
Zhong Li did not hesitate this time. He directly placed his hand on the Crystal Ball.
As they watched the Soul Power Scale continue rising, the husband and wife both grew rather nervous. After all, this concerned their child's future!
At last, the Soul Power Scale stopped at twenty. The two of them sighed in relief at the same time. It was good that they had not sensed it incorrectly!
Seriously? Mom, Dad, could you at least look a little surprised?
What's with that relieved look? Where are the excitement and joy?
Dad, shout it! "My son has the makings of a Title Douluo!" Isn't that how novels always go?
Damn it, novels really were all lies!
"Son, after dinner, go out and play for a while. Your mother and I have something to do!"
Zhong Tian said meaningfully to Zhong Li. He then put the Crystal Ball away in his Storage Soul Tool, opened the door, and headed toward the kitchen.
