Martial Soul Awakening, Three-Life Martial Soul!

Martial Soul Awakening, Three-Life Martial Soul!

At dawn, a gentle breeze stirred as the sky began to pale.

The Spirit Pagoda Headquarters was already solemn and imposing. Many staff members stood at the ready inside the main hall, while Heavenly Phoenix Douluo, dressed in finery and radiating an extraordinary air, stood out from the crowd like a crane among chickens.

Today was the Spirit Pagoda's monthly Martial Soul Awakening Day.

If this had been an ordinary Awakening Ceremony, there would have been no need for Leng Yaozhu, the Vice Pagoda Master, to attend in person.

But two of the children being awakened today had exceptional backgrounds. One was Gu Yue, the new disciple she had recently taken in; the other was her own son, Qiangu Wuji.

Given how important the two of them were, even a legendary Vice Pagoda Master like her had to set aside her work and personally oversee the ceremony to ensure nothing went wrong.

"I'm sure you've all been told how the awakening process works, right?"

A staff member in Spirit Pagoda uniform stepped forward from the crowd. Looking at the six-year-old children before him, he smiled warmly.

"Children, there's no need to be nervous. I'll call your names one by one, and you'll come forward."

"First, Gu Yue."

At the staff member's words, a black-haired little girl slowly stepped forward.

She wasn't especially cute—just average, really. Yet the moment she stepped out, everyone present turned to look at her. Even Leng Yaozhu, usually so aloof and stern, gave her a nod and a smile.

With a composure beyond her years, Gu Yue walked up to the staff member. She glanced at the crystal ball floating on a nearby table, then reached out and touched it without hesitation.

The moment her hand made contact, the crystal ball began to brighten at a visible rate. Blinding light flooded the room in an instant, turning it as bright as day.

The staff member beside her was dumbstruck, his mouth hanging open.

"It... it's Innate Full Soul Power!"

"Gasp! So this is Innate Full Soul Power? No wonder it's Gu Yue!"

The children below grew restless as they watched, their excited chatter and envious remarks rising without end.

Leng Yaozhu smiled with satisfaction.

"This child really is talented. I knew I was right about her."

Gu Yue seemed not to hear the praise. She quietly turned, bowed toward the people above, and prepared to step down.

But Leng Yaozhu called out to her.

"By the way, Gu Yue, what's your Martial Soul? I haven't seen you summon it."

Hearing her teacher's question, Gu Yue paused to think, then silently opened her hand. Seven-colored light shimmered in her palm.

"Teacher, this is my Martial Soul: Elemental Master."

"Elemental Master?"

Leng Yaozhu murmured the words. As she looked at the many-colored light in Gu Yue's hand, she suddenly seemed to realize something and cried out in surprise.

"Could your Martial Soul control multiple elements?"

"What?"

At Leng Yaozhu's words, the surrounding staff were shocked as well.

Control over multiple elements?

Could a Martial Soul like that really exist? Elemental Martial Souls were rare to begin with, let alone one that could command multiple elements.

Nothing like this had ever appeared on the Douluo Continent.

Under the disbelieving gazes of those around her, Gu Yue calmly nodded.

"Yes, teacher. Based on my estimates, I can use seven elements right now."

"Gasp!"

The hall filled with another round of astonished gasps.

Even Leng Yaozhu was slightly moved.

"Excellent, excellent! If you keep working hard, there's no reason you can't surpass me one day."

For the Vice Pagoda Master of the Spirit Pagoda to praise her so highly showed just how much of a sensation Gu Yue's awakening had caused.

Gu Yue remained perfectly composed, as though the praise weren't meant for her. She embodied the saying "unmoved by honor or disgrace."

"Wuji should be next, right?"

"Yes. I wonder what kind of Martial Soul Young Master Wuji will awaken."

Once the commotion over Gu Yue's awakening had gradually died down, everyone's eyes turned toward a little boy in the corner.

He was a very pretty little boy, with soft, fair skin, large eyes, and long golden hair. He was prettier than most girls his age.

He was Leng Yaozhu and Qiangu Dongfeng's son, Qiangu Wuji, and the next heir to the Spirit Pagoda.

If anyone in the younger generation of the Spirit Pagoda had the most outstanding talent, there was no doubt it was this Young Pagoda Master.

It was said that Qiangu Wuji had already possessed a measure of Soul Power when he was born. While children his age were still dreaming about becoming Soul Masters, he could already write down his insights about them and present them at all sorts of conferences.

There was no doubt about it: Qiangu Wuji was a prodigy and a genius Soul Master.

Now, this genius prodigy was about to reveal his true potential.

Everyone wondered how high his starting point would be—and how far beyond reach it might prove.

Even Gu Yue couldn't help taking a few extra glances at the little boy.

"Wuji, you're next. Just do as you usually do. There's no need to be nervous."

As everyone watched expectantly, Leng Yaozhu smiled and beckoned to him, her eyes full of tenderness.

It was clear that she was very pleased with her son.

"Yes, Mother. I understand."

Qiangu Wuji nodded respectfully and slowly approached the crystal ball, his emotions in turmoil.

He had been in this world for five years, and every day he had looked forward to becoming a Soul Master. Had this day finally come?

He had no idea how talented he was.

To be honest, Qiangu Wuji wasn't very confident. He knew he had good talent, but even so, he couldn't match the strongest people in this world. Take Gu Yue and Tang Wulin, for example.

One was the Silver Dragon King herself, able to wield every element. The other had inherited the Golden Dragon King's invincible physical strength, making him practically a human mecha.

Compared with them, no matter what Martial Soul he awakened, he would still come up short.

Qiangu Wuji wasn't jealous or anything. It was just that his current circumstances left him no choice but to work hard.

After all, Qiangu Dongfeng was a villain. In the original story, he had done countless evil things and made enemies of the entire continent.

As his son, Qiangu Wuji didn't want to get dragged into trouble when his foolish father did something stupid in the future.

That was why he had to work hard to grow stronger. Only by becoming powerful himself could he protect himself when Qiangu Dongfeng's misdeeds came to light.

Unfortunately, what troubled him now was that he had no cheat of his own. Qiangu Dongfeng and Leng Yaozhu were both Limit Douluos, but they were unquestionably far inferior to Tang Wulin and Gu Yue, the protagonists blessed with godhood.

Even if he was lucky enough to awaken their Martial Souls, he would still be at an ordinary person's level, nowhere near those two cheating protagonists.

Besides, he wasn't even sure he'd awaken Twin Martial Souls.

Sigh! What a headache!

Qiangu Wuji felt a little helpless. He glanced silently at the crystal ball, then stopped wasting time and placed his hand on it.

In an instant, the light surged. Blinding white light shone like a miniature sun, illuminating the hall.

"Another Innate Full Soul Power!"

"As expected of Young Master Wuji! I knew it, I knew it would be like this!"

They had already expected Qiangu Wuji's Soul Power Level to be high, but when the result appeared, the hall still erupted in an uproar.

No matter the era, Innate Full Soul Power was extraordinarily rare. Yet two children had awakened with it here today!

"Wuji really did inherit my talent..."

Above them, Leng Yaozhu nodded with satisfaction, feeling greatly reassured. But a moment later, she furrowed her delicate brows and added, displeased, "It's just too bad he awakened that man's Coiling Dragon Staff. What a nuisance."

"Hmm? Wait, what is this feeling...?"

She had barely finished murmuring when she suddenly sensed something change. Her expression turned astonished.

She stared at Qiangu Wuji, enveloped in light. A golden glow, like flames, now shimmered around him.

She knew this aura all too well. Wasn't it her Martial Soul, Heavenly Phoenix?

Was this Twin Martial Souls?

Twin Martial Souls and Innate Full Soul Power!

And he had inherited both her top-tier Beast Martial Soul and that man's top-tier weapon Martial Soul.

Leng Yaozhu drew a deep breath. In her mind, she could already picture a supreme genius appearing on the continent years from now.

"Buzz!"

As she was lost in thought, an immensely powerful surge of Soul Power suddenly burst outward.

Caught off guard, she felt the strands of hair at her forehead blown into disarray.

"What's happening?"

Leng Yaozhu jolted and looked up in astonishment, blurting out, "Could there be another one?"

As she stared in disbelief, the light that had begun to settle suddenly flared brighter once more, shining so intensely it was almost blinding.

Not only that, but the Soul Power in the air became thicker than ever before.

Leng Yaozhu watched in shock. Then, the next second, something even more astonishing happened.

With a bang, the crystal ball floating in midair shattered into pieces.

At the same time, a mechanical electronic voice sounded in Qiangu Wuji's mind.

[Beep. Because the host believes his Martial Souls cannot compare to Tang Wulin and Gu Yue, your Martial Souls have decided to prove themselves and are now nurturing a third Martial Soul.]
