Martial Soul Awakening

On the way to dinner, Bibi Han thought about many things. He would not betray his mother, Bibi Dong, nor would he let her destroy Spirit Hall in the future.

Spirit Hall certainly had its darkness, and its existence was a thorn in the side of the continent's nobles, who wished they could eliminate it immediately. Yet it was also the shield that protected ordinary people from being harmed by Soul Masters.

Just like how the Chaos Demon King, Zhao Wuji, had not dared harm civilians and had gone into hiding because Spirit Hall was pursuing him not long ago, there were countless examples like this.

Guarding Soul Hunting Forest and preventing Soul Beasts from coming out to cause trouble, suppressing Evil Soul Masters until they were like sewer rats, signing an agreement with the King of Slaughter and having him manage the City of Slaughter, and so on.

Bibi Han sighed, thinking, I still need strength. Only with strength can I do these things. Only with strength can I protect Spirit Hall in the future.

Tang San, my only brother, whether you reincarnated or possessed someone else's body, I will acknowledge you for taking such good care of Tang Hao for three or four years. I do not want to meet you on the battlefield.

A few days later, at the Awakening Hall.

Bibi Dong held Bibi Han's hand as she brought him here.

"Greetings, Your Majesty the Pope." The people of the Awakening Hall all dropped to one knee.

"Rise."

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Pope."

"Han'er, it is time for your Martial Soul awakening."

"Mm, Mother."

Bibi Dong said with an exceptionally serious gaze, "Whether you can become a Soul Master is one hurdle, and the amount of Innate Soul Power you possess also determines how far you can go in the future. No matter whether your talent is high or low, you are still my son."

With the lifespan she possessed, even if Little Han had no Soul Power, she could still ensure that he lived his entire life without want or suffering any bullying.

"I believe I will awaken a good Martial Soul," Bibi Han said.

Then Bibi Han fearlessly walked into the hexagonal formation arranged from stones and looked once more at his mother's encouraging, expectant eyes.

The person conducting the awakening was a Soul Emperor. Spirit Hall was a major city, and countless people underwent awakenings every year, so someone of this level was perfectly normal.

As the Pope's son was being awakened, the Soul Emperor did not dare be careless and activated his Soul Power.

Bibi Han's entire body was wrapped in faint golden light, which formed a barrier around him. It was as though he had entered a warm world. Suddenly, he felt two things inside him struggling to emerge.

Bibi Han had already raised his right hand, but no Martial Soul appeared.

The Soul Emperor looked at the Pope in some panic.

Bibi Dong was also somewhat worried. "Increase your Soul Power output."

The Soul Emperor did as instructed.

Finally, Bibi Han felt that membrane rupture. He raised both hands, and a small black lump of a hammer and an ordinary Blue Silver Grass appeared.

"Twin Martial Souls!" everyone cried out. Then they quickly calmed down, because neither Martial Soul carried any imposing aura.

As everyone knew, the stronger a Martial Soul was, the greater its "aura."

For example, the higher the Innate Soul Power of a Clear Sky Hammer, the stronger the domineering presence it produced. A Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda was judged by the brightness of the seven colors of light it emitted. Yet Bibi Han's two Martial Souls had no aura at all. Could they be trash Martial Souls? Twin trash Martial Souls? Everyone arrived at that conclusion.

Only two people did not think so. One was Bibi Dong, who could sense that the two Martial Souls were extraordinary. The other was the Soul Emperor conducting the awakening. His face was steadily turning pale as he felt his Soul Power constantly being drained away. Soon, he no longer had any strength left.

Sensing that there was no more Soul Power to absorb, the Martial Souls began absorbing Bibi Han's Soul Power.

Bibi Han said in great discomfort, "Mother, give me Soul Power. I do not have enough."

Bibi Dong was somewhat delighted. She came behind Bibi Han, placed both hands on his back, and poured in Soul Power. She felt as though Bibi Han's body was a bottomless pit, constantly swallowing the Soul Power she released.

Then, one yellow, two purple, five black, and one red Soul Ring appeared—a total of nine.

Every Soul Master in the Awakening Hall stared at that red Soul Ring in shock. Red represented 100,000 Years, the greatest treasure in the Soul Master World, because anyone who possessed one was guaranteed to possess a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.

Its value was beyond calculation. It was enough to know that when a Thousand-Year Soul Bone appeared, it would spark a bloody storm.

Soul Power continued pouring into the two Martial Souls, and both Martial Souls began to change.

The black shell around the hammer Martial Soul continuously cracked apart, while the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul turned golden, blue patterns appearing one after another.

When the black shell completely shattered, a golden hammer surrounded by purple lightning and a golden Blue Silver Grass densely covered in blue patterns both gave off an aura of life.

Then two rays of light were released from the Martial Souls. Those within the blue light felt refreshed and invigorated, while small wounds on their bodies began to heal. Those within the golden light felt their bodily functions become somewhat sluggish.

They had seen too little to know what it was, but Bibi Dong understood perfectly, because she possessed one as well—a Domain.

Bibi Han's appearance also underwent a complete transformation. His originally light-blue short hair grew to his waist and became a deep azure, with some strands turning gold. His plain little face became exceptionally fair, delicate, and refined. When he grew up, he would surely become an incomparably handsome man.

The awakening ended, and the Martial Souls were put away.

"You may all leave. Remember, aside from Little Han's drastic change in appearance, the rest..." Bibi Dong did not finish, but the killing intent in her eyes was unmistakable.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Everyone hurriedly departed. The Iron-Blooded Female Pope's fearsome reputation was well known throughout the Soul Master World.

After the doors closed, Bibi Dong looked at Bibi Han's fair little cheeks and immediately pinched them with both hands, finding the feeling exceptionally good.

"Mother, stop pinching me." Bibi Han felt extremely uncomfortable.

"Han'er, release your two Martial Souls again and let Mother take a look."

That was right, this was the feeling.

"Han'er, what are these two Martial Souls called?" Bibi Dong asked.

Bibi Han frowned slightly and replied, "Blue Silver God, Clear Sky Divine Hammer."

Blue Silver Grass was grass for a thousand years, called king at ten thousand years, crowned emperor at one hundred thousand years, and became a god at one million years. Named after a god, it carried an aura of divinity.

"Good, good, good!" Bibi Dong said excitedly.

"Han'er, Clear Sky Divine Hammer does not sound nice. From now on, call the hammer Clear Sky Hammer."

Hearing this, Bibi Han nodded. Clear Sky Divine Hammer really was an unpleasant name.

As soon as she finished speaking, Bibi Dong took out a sphere even larger than the Soul Power Sphere in the Awakening Hall.

"Han'er, test your Innate Soul Power."

Bibi Han placed his hand on it, and brilliant light flared up.

"Level twenty, Innate Full Soul Power at level twenty!"

"Good son, my good son, good son!"
