Douluo: Martial Soul Mysterious Tortoise, Starting with Counterattack Armor Critical Strike

But when they pushed open the door now, there was not even a speck of dust.

From that tiny detail alone, it was clear that some kind of force had been intervening all along, preventing dust from settling here.

Su Yuntao walked in, and the rest followed behind him.

As they looked at the tall, magnificent building inside, the children's curiosity was stirred, and they kept looking around.

Su Yuntao reached the far end, turned around, and gave a light wave of his hand. The doors closed.

"It'd be great if even one Soul Master appeared."

Outside, Huang Long muttered to himself. Ever since Huang Family Village had produced a Soul Master that one time, there had been none since.

What a pity.

Though unwilling to accept it, it had already become a foregone conclusion.

Inside, Su Yuntao smiled at the seven children before him and said, "My name is Su Yuntao, a level twenty-six Soul Grandmaster! I am also the one guiding your Martial Soul Awakening. No matter what happens next, don't be afraid. I won't hurt you! I will awaken your Martial Souls one by one!"

"Ha! Martial Soul Possession!"

Suddenly, Su Yuntao spread his legs and gave a low shout. Soul Power that was tremendously powerful to these children surged forth, while a wolf appeared on his body!

Immediately afterward, one white and one yellow Soul Ring slowly emerged around him.

The powerful Soul Power of a Soul Grandmaster swept through the entire room.

All the children, Huang Wei included, went slightly pale.

So this is a Soul Grandmaster? He's not as trash as the rumors made him out to be. Maybe that's because I'm just an ordinary person...

Huang Wei thought to himself. In his previous life, he had read novels where many people said Soul Masters were weak, but now that he was actually here, he realized that was complete bullshit.

The other children were all terrified. Huang Wei was doing a little better; after all, he had lived two lives, so he was fairly calm.

Su Yuntao's body grew larger. The nails on his ten fingers lengthened and sharpened, his pupils turned into wolf pupils, granting him basic night vision, and his teeth grew longer and sharper.

He looked just like a werewolf.

It really was quite frightening.

"Don't be afraid. I won't hurt you."

"Come. Next, I'll awaken your Martial Souls one at a time."

Su Yuntao looked at their faces, then spoke in a gentler tone.

As he spoke, he tossed out six awakening stones and a blue sphere. After injecting it with Soul Power, he made it float in midair.

With the awakening stones and Soul Power working together, the Awakening Formation at the center lit up.

"You first." Su Yuntao pointed at a girl on the far right.

"Come up here. Just step into the center of the Formation and stand still."

Following Su Yuntao's instructions, the girl quickly entered.

Then Su Yuntao directly used his Soul Power. Drawn by that force, the girl's body floated into the air.

Before long, a white rabbit that looked completely ordinary appeared on her body.

"Oh, a rabbit Beast Martial Soul..."

Su Yuntao was surprised, but also a little excited.

Could the very first village today produce someone with Soul Power?

"Congratulations. Your Martial Soul is the Beast Martial Soul White Rabbit. Next, test whether you have Soul Power."

"Just place your hand lightly on the blue sphere."

As Su Yuntao spoke, he watched expectantly as the little girl did so.

The little girl also looked incredibly excited.

Her little heart pounded wildly.

Yet after her hand rested on it for a long time, there was no reaction at all.

At that moment, Su Yuntao's anticipation turned into disappointment.

Ah, I was thinking too much.

Su Yuntao said softly, "You have no Soul Power. You can only be an ordinary person. Go stand to the side and wait."

The little girl walked to the side in disappointment.

Then it was the second child's turn, a boy.

The boy was filled with unease.

He stood in the center, and his body floated.

A bronze-colored light appeared in his right hand.

Soon, a rusty bronze sword appeared.

At that moment, Su Yuntao's hopes were reignited.

Perhaps this one would have it!

Everyone watched expectantly as the little boy placed his hand on the crystal ball.

The result was still nothing.

Seeing this, Huang Wei could not help swallowing.

Oh no, oh no. I'm not really going to be doomed too, am I?

After finally transmigrating here, he actually wanted to become a Soul Master too.

At the very least, even if he became a slacker, the income would be high.

After learning the truth, the little boy stood to the side dejectedly.

Then the third little girl stepped up.

Her Martial Soul was a Kitchen Knife. No Soul Power. She stood to the side.

The fourth child was a little boy. His Martial Soul was a Hoe. No Soul Power. He stood to the side.

The fifth child was a little girl. Her Martial Soul was a Needle. No Soul Power. She stood to the side.

The sixth child was a little boy. His Martial Soul was a Rat. No Soul Power. He stood to the side.

Su Yuntao's patience had completely run out.

Seven children, six with no Soul Power. He was exhausted.

Huang Wei was exhausted and frightened as well.

Seeing so many people fail...

"All right, Little Fellow, you're the last one. It's your turn." Su Yuntao sighed, and his voice carried obvious disappointment.

With immense apprehension, Huang Wei walked toward the center of the Formation.

Guided by Su Yuntao's Soul Power, his whole body rose into the air.

Huang Wei immediately experienced what weightlessness felt like.

His body also felt itchy.

It was as if something was about to burrow out from inside him.

It's coming out, it's coming out. What will it be?

Huang Wei was extremely nervous.

But at that moment, Su Yuntao was utterly stunned. Behind Huang Wei, he saw a very large...

"A turtle..."

Su Yuntao blurted out.

For some reason, he felt that the Youth before him was different from the others. This turtle was not an ordinary turtle either. It had the head of a bird and the tail of a snake, while its shell was huge and covered in strange, mysterious patterns.

It naturally carried the awe of a Turtle Overlord.

The chances of him having Soul Power were extremely high!

Su Yuntao immediately grew excited.

At the same time, Huang Wei's pupils became sharp.

They had turned yellow, wrapped in Divine Charm. Everything around him seemed to move in magically slowed motion, yet it was all incredibly, incredibly clear.

He could even see all kinds of blue things flowing within Su Yuntao's body. Those were most likely his meridians and Soul Power.

At the same time, a cold mechanical voice sounded in his mind.

"Congratulations, Host. You have awakened the Mysterious Tortoise spirit beast and fulfilled the conditions for activating the system binding."

"Turtle Invincible System binding successful!"

"Turtles are auspicious beasts and represent longevity."

"Congratulations, Host. You have activated one of the Turtle Clan Talents: Tortoise Longevity. It blesses your body. Your Lifespan will greatly increase. At your current level, without increasing your cultivation, you need only eat, drink, relieve yourself, and sleep to easily live to three hundred years old. Your body will not suffer from various illnesses. This does not rule out accidental premature death."

System Quest Released

As the system's voice faded, Huang Wei felt his Life Energy undergo a qualitative leap.

His entire body felt incomparably comfortable.

He was immersed in that feeling until Su Yuntao's voice finally brought him back.

"Little Fellow, what is your Martial Soul called?"

"It doesn't look like Xuanwu either... but it is definitely a Turtle Type Beast Martial Soul..."

At that moment, the excited Su Yuntao came to his senses. Suppressing the surging emotions in his heart, he smiled and asked.

He looked extremely eager to get an answer.

He carefully examined the huge turtle. The boost it gave the Little Fellow before him was not what he understood a Beast Martial Soul to provide.

The shell was not in front of him, but on the turtle's back.

That was somewhat different from the Beast Martial Soul Possession knowledge he had learned...

Wait...

This boy did not seem to have possessed his Martial Soul yet...

"Mysterious Tortoise. My Martial Soul is the Mysterious Tortoise."

Huang Wei spoke.

"Mysterious Tortoise? I've never heard of this species." Su Yuntao was somewhat puzzled.

"The Mysterious Tortoise is also called the Xuan Turtle. It is the symbol of a spirit beast," Huang Wei said.

Although Su Yuntao was surprised by this new Turtle Type species, judging from how large this Martial Soul called the Mysterious Tortoise was, it was certainly not simple.

And what was a spirit beast?

He did not quite understand, but he knew it was not ordinary.

Su Yuntao gave a dry cough and said, "Come, Little Fellow, put away your Mysterious Tortoise Martial Soul first. Otherwise, it will consume a great deal of your Soul Power. You only need to control it with your thoughts and think about withdrawing your Martial Soul."

Huang Wei nodded, though he felt that his Soul Power had not been consumed much. Perhaps that was one of the advantages brought by the Mysterious Tortoise.

Then he did as instructed and quickly withdrew the enormous Mysterious Tortoise back into his body.

Only then did the imposing aura in the room disappear.

"Place your hand on this sphere of light and see whether you have Soul Power."

"This will determine whether you can become a respected Soul Master."

Hearing that, Huang Wei nodded. He had long been unable to wait.

The other six Little Fellows who had failed were also frightened by Huang Wei's huge, domineering turtle Martial Soul.
