Double Pupils Have Already Paved an Invincible Path; More Bones, More Paths

Heaven Dou Empire, Di Soul Village.

Yang Yuan stood on Back Hill, overlooking the scenery below.

A gentle breeze brushed his face, and his eyes were filled with excitement.

Inside his mind, a progress bar only he could sense was slowly advancing.

99.998%.

99.999%.

100%.

When the progress bar reached one hundred percent, Yang Yuan's breathing immediately became uncontrollably rapid.

Six years!

He had transmigrated to Douluo Continent six years ago, and his golden finger had finally activated before his Martial Soul awakening.

"Ding!"

The crisp sound was like heavenly music to Yang Yuan's ears.

"A single grain of sand can fill the vast sea; a single blade of grass can sever the sun, moon, and stars."

"Congratulations, host. The Perfect World Supreme Transcendence System has been activated."

"Hm?"

Yang Yuan raised his brows as he listened to the system's slightly mechanical voice.

Perfect World?

Wasn't this Douluo Continent?

Gulp~

Yang Yuan swallowed.

A sense of foreboding immediately surged within him.

Not good!

The thought had barely flashed through his mind when the system spoke again.

Sure enough, what he feared most had come to pass.

The system's voice sounded as though its signal had been cut off.

"Bzzzt~"

"An anomaly has been detected in the current world."

"Host binding error..."

"System unbinding..."

Yang Yuan's expression changed drastically upon hearing that.

Come on, are you messing with me here?

I waited six years and finally got the system activated.

And now you're telling me it bound to the wrong person?

"System, system!"

Yang Yuan hurriedly called out.

"I'm here!"

The system's stuttering mechanical voice briefly stopped and answered Yang Yuan.

"You're not just going to abandon me here and leave, are you?"

The system replied to Yang Yuan, "This world is too small. I have no choice but to leave. Take care of yourself!"

Yang Yuan did not look pleased upon hearing that. Anyone in his situation would probably feel the same.

But he understood clearly.

If the system was determined to unbind, there was nothing he could do.

In that case, he had to maximize his benefits.

That way, he would have something to rely on in Douluo Continent.

A system from Perfect World only needed to toss him a few scraps, and that would be more than enough for him in Douluo Continent.

Yang Yuan then spoke decisively, intending to secure some benefits for himself.

"You brought me to this world and stayed inside me for six years."

"Now that you're leaving, shouldn't you at least leave me with some protection?"

The system hesitated slightly before uttering two words.

"Fine!"

"Compensation has been issued. Explore it yourself."

"Our karmic ties are settled. System unbinding successful."

As the final word fell, the system's voice abruptly ceased.

The next second, a clear spiritual light shot from the top of Yang Yuan's head into the sky and vanished in an instant.

Yang Yuan could also sense that something seemed to have suddenly disappeared from his body.

But his attention was not on the departed system.

He inspected himself from head to toe, wanting to see exactly what compensation the system had given him.

Unfortunately, after a long while, he found nothing.

Yang Yuan could not help frowning.

Nothing showed on the surface. Could it be that the system's compensation would only reveal itself after he awakened his Martial Soul?

That seemed to be the only explanation.

Just then, a child about his age ran up from below the hill.

"Yang Yuan, the village chief told me to call you over."

"I'm coming."

Hearing the call, Yang Yuan turned and ran over.

Thinking of the system's compensation, a few more traces of anticipation rose in his heart.

What would the system's compensation be?

As a village that had once produced a Soul Emperor.

Di Soul Village had some renown among the nearby villages, second only to Holy Soul Village.

Right in front of a large building at the center of Di Soul Village.

The village chief, Old Jerry, had gathered all the six-year-old children in the village.

Because today was an extremely important day.

Spirit Hall would send a deacon to Di Soul Village to awaken the Martial Souls of children who had reached the age of six.

For the children.

This was likely the only chance in their lives to change their fate.

By the time Yang Yuan arrived, all the children were already present.

When Old Jerry saw him, he smiled and waved him over.

"Xiao Yuan, come here quickly."

"Grandpa Jerry."

Yang Yuan immediately jogged over.

He was an orphan, his parents long dead.

If Old Jerry had not taken him in from the moment he was born, he would not have survived until now.

"Today is the day of your Martial Soul awakening. Don't be nervous later."

"If you can awaken Innate Soul Power, that would be best."

"But if you can't awaken Innate Soul Power, don't be discouraged."

Old Jerry spoke earnestly.

Though they shared no blood relation.

He had always treated Yang Yuan as his own grandson.

Yang Yuan had been obedient and sensible since childhood, with a maturity beyond his years.

It was precisely because of this that Old Jerry worried.

If Yang Yuan failed to awaken Innate Soul Power, would he take it too hard?

Naturally, Yang Yuan could see through Old Jerry's thoughts.

He smiled in response.

"I understand, Grandpa Jerry."

As the two spoke, the sound of hoofbeats suddenly rang out in the distance.

A fit figure rode a fine horse toward them at full speed from afar.

"The Spirit Hall deacon is here."

"Xiao Yuan, stand here and don't move."

Old Jerry said this before stepping forward to greet him.

"Master Su Yuntao, we'll have to trouble you again this time."

Su Yuntao gave Old Jerry a slight nod, carrying an air of aloofness.

However, Old Jerry had long grown accustomed to Su Yuntao's manner.

He also knew that though Su Yuntao seemed cold, he was warm-hearted beneath the surface.

"Old Jerry, I don't have much time. Let's begin now."

Old Jerry replied with a smile, "We'll do as you say."

After saying that, he called the children over and had them stand in a line.

There were only eleven children in Di Soul Village who had turned six this year.

Yang Yuan stood at the front.

While Old Jerry and Su Yuntao were speaking, he had been studying Su Yuntao.

After all, everyone knew that with one word from Brother Tao declaring someone useless, another God King would appear.

He just did not know whether he, too, would become a useless Martial Soul in Brother Tao's eyes.

While Yang Yuan was lost in thought.

Old Jerry and Su Yuntao had already walked over and led the children into the large building at the center of the village.

This large building was the village's Spirit Hall.

It was also where the children would awaken their Martial Souls.

After entering the village Spirit Hall, Su Yuntao introduced himself first.

"My name is Su Yuntao, a level-twenty-six Soul Grandmaster, and I will be your guide."

"Now, I will awaken your Martial Souls one by one."

After saying that, he placed six black stones on the ground and looked toward Yang Yuan, who stood at the front of the children.

"Walk to the center of the Formation. Don't be nervous."

Su Yuntao did not speak to Yang Yuan as coldly as he had to Old Jerry.

Of course, that concern was clearly unnecessary.

Yang Yuan was not afraid in the slightest. Instead, he was eager to try.

He desperately wanted to know.

What exactly was the compensation the system had left behind?

"Lone Wolf, possess!"

At that moment, Su Yuntao suddenly gave a low shout.

Before the children's horrified eyes, he completed Martial Soul Possession.

As his words fell, his body immediately swelled in size.

Gray fur also grew from his hands.

He looked like a werewolf walking upright.

The surrounding children immediately cried out in alarm.

"Don't be afraid. This is my Martial Soul."

Su Yuntao spoke calmly.

Only then did the panic among the children ease somewhat.

Su Yuntao then looked at Yang Yuan, who stood in the middle of the Formation.

He discovered that Yang Yuan had remained completely unmoved during his Martial Soul Possession, and a trace of surprise appeared in his eyes.

Interesting.

He wondered what kind of Martial Soul Yang Yuan would awaken.

Thinking this, Su Yuntao rapidly struck out with both hands.

Six streams of green light immediately shot into the six black stones.

In an instant, a pale golden radiance enveloped Yang Yuan.

Within the golden light, Yang Yuan felt as though something inside his body had begun trembling violently.

A swelling pain suddenly came from his eyes.

The sensation made Yang Yuan close his eyes instinctively.

However.

When he opened them again, his eyes had suddenly transformed into a pair of Double Pupils.

Divine light shone from those Double Pupils, reflecting densely packed runes.

Vaguely, worlds were born and destroyed within the Double Pupils, cycling endlessly between boundless vitality and Destruction.

An invisible pressure spread from Yang Yuan's body the instant the Double Pupil appeared.

But it wasn't over yet.

Yang Yuan could also feel another surge of energy gathering in his chest.

Within his eyes, he could see a peculiar bone in front of his chest.

Radiant light flowed across the bone, shining with endless runes.

Yang Yuan immediately understood.

The system's compensation was precisely the Double Pupil and the Supreme Bone.

Although the Double Pupil and Supreme Bone given by the system could only be considered beggar-tier among beggar-tier versions,

that did nothing to diminish the power of the Double Pupil and Supreme Bone.

Feeling the surging power within him, Yang Yuan was suddenly filled with a sense of boundless freedom.

As the saying went, the Double Pupil was already a path to invincibility; one more bone meant one more path.
