Sun Moon Empire, Great Sun Prince Mansion.
Early morning.
Xu Zhao slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbid air. The breath remained condensed like a sharp sword, emitting a faint sonic boom in the air.
After a whole night of tedious cultivation, the tough barrier within his body had finally been broken through.
"Level 94, finally achieved."
Xu Zhao whispered to himself. With a flicker of his mind, a terrifyingly peerless aura instantly filled the entire secret chamber.
If not for the top-tier soul guidance barrier installed here to isolate the aura, the entire imperial city would likely have been alarmed.
Behind Xu Zhao, a magnificent sun suddenly rose, its golden radiance illuminating the room as if it were broad daylight, scorching and domineering.
Immediately after, nine soul rings slowly emerged, pulsing around his body.
Yellow, purple, purple, black, black, red, red, red, red!
Those last four blood-red hundred thousand year soul rings exuded a suffocating pressure.
Beside the blazing sun, a cold silver moon quietly appeared, reflecting the sun in a brilliant display.
Although only a single, solitary red hundred thousand year soul ring hovered above it, the crisp and aloof chill it emitted was in no way inferior to the might of the blazing sun.
The sun and moon shone together, the yin and yang converged.
"Level 94!"
Xu Zhao slowly retracted his martial soul, feeling the vast soul power within his body, and could not help but feel a surge of joy.
Twenty years since his transmigration, relying on his twin martial souls and innate full soul power talent, coupled with the immense resources poured into him by the Prince Mansion.
Not long ago, Xu Zhao broke through to level 90.
His father, a level 98 titled Douluo with the title "Great Sun," along with several titled retainers from the mansion, took him to hunt for soul rings.
In one go, he hunted the ninth ring for his Sun Martial Soul and the first ring for his Moon Martial Soul.
Two hundred thousand year soul rings, two hundred thousand year soul bones.
His soul power surged to the peak of level 93.
After cultivating naturally for some time, he successfully stepped into level 94.
He was only one step away from becoming a level 95 Super Douluo.
His fame spread far and wide, shaking the entire Sun Moon Empire.
Countless people were convinced that Xu Zhao would break through to the level 99 limit before the age of fifty.
And perhaps even catch a glimpse of the realm of gods!
"It's time to go out and get some fresh air."
Xu Zhao stood up, straightened his robes, and was just about to push the door open.
Just then.
A mechanical notification sound, without any warning, exploded in Xu Zhao's mind.
Immediately following, a pale blue virtual panel abruptly appeared before Xu Zhao's eyes.
[System loading... 1%... 99%... 100%] [Strongest Soul Master Auxiliary System bound.] [Detected that the host's bodily functions are normal, bone age detection... six years old (8 years late... system data delay correction in progress... failed, original judgment maintained).] [Detected that the host has reached the condition for awakening a martial soul: six years old.] [Newbie guide mission released: Please head to Fasinuo Province - Notting City South - Holy Soul Village as soon as possible.] [Mission objective: Find Master 'Su Yuntao', and have him assist in awakening your martial soul alongside Tang San; the host will awaken the martial soul 'Blue Silver Grass'.] [Mission reward: Martial soul quality evolves into 'Blue Silver King', innate soul power increases by one level (can break through the innate full soul power limit).] [Note: Detected that the host's current location is in an unknown high-energy area, please leave as soon as possible and report to the newbie village!]
Looking at these lines of pale blue text, the mood Xu Zhao had felt, which was slightly happy due to his breakthrough, instantly solidified.
In this moment, only a series of question marks remained in Xu Zhao's mind.
"???"
Xu Zhao raised his hand, looked at his slender and powerful palm, and then looked at the glaring "six years old" on the panel.
"System? What do you mean you're 8 years late?"
"And, what do you mean by awakening my martial soul alongside Tang San?"
"I awakened my martial soul 14 years ago!"
"I don't know if this system is late, or if I 'transmigrated early'!"
"Otherwise, according to this system's logic, I should have transmigrated to Holy Soul Village 8 years ago, been the same age as Tang San, and then awakened my martial soul together!"
Xu Zhao's mouth twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but complain out loud.
He had transmigrated into this world, and from the time he was an infant, he had been waiting for his golden finger to arrive.
As it turned out, he waited and waited, until he was six years old and awakened twin god-level martial souls, and until he was named the heir to a prince.
He waited until he had advanced all the way to become a Title Douluo... yet this broken system never showed up.
Now, he was at level 94, not far from being invincible in this world, and it finally arrived?
Furthermore, what the hell was this mission?
"You want me, the dignified son of a prince of the Sun Moon Empire and a level 94 Title Douluo, to cross the ocean to the Douluo Continent and find that Soul Grand Master, Su Yuntao... to help me awaken my martial soul?"
"And I have to awaken a trash martial soul like Blue Silver Grass?"
Xu Zhao felt that this world had gone completely insane.
However, complaints aside.
Xu Zhao still felt that this system had arrived at the perfect time!
This was because the strength of his branch of the prince's estate was growing increasingly powerful.
In terms of prestige, it was even beginning to overshadow the imperial family.
Xu Zhao saw the situation very clearly.
The emperor, who was his uncle, held deep grievances regarding this.
Xu Zhao had no intention of engaging in infighting.
Rather than fighting to the death with his own relatives.
It would be better to simply take the core members of the prince's estate and head to the Douluo Continent.
In previous years, the fleet of Soul Tools that Xu Zhao had commissioned had been successfully constructed.
And Xu Zhao's family, besides himself, his father Xu Yu, and two guest elders.
There were also two other ordinary Title Douluos who would follow Xu Zhao without question.
Bringing advanced Soul Tool technology and the method of the Soul Core to the Douluo Continent, while relying on Xu Zhao's foreknowledge of the plot, would be nothing short of a dimensional strike!
It was just that, until now, Xu Zhao had never been able to figure out one thing.
Which era was this exactly?
To be precise, he didn't know if Tang San had transmigrated here yet.
During this period, the Sun Moon Continent had not yet collided with the Douluo Continent.
Xu Zhao was worried that, by this time, Tang San might have already become a god.
If that were the case, he would be finished.
But now, judging by the 'mission' the system had just issued.
The system was 'late' by eight years.
In other words.
The current Tang San was only 14 years old.
If he went over early enough, perhaps the Elite Tournament on the Douluo Continent hadn't even started yet!
The phantoms of the sun and moon behind Xu Zhao trembled slightly due to his emotional fluctuations.
The pressure they emitted caused the very space around him to distort.
Ultimate Fire and Ultimate Darkness—how could they be mere empty reputations?
(Regarding Ultimate Attributes: Douluo I did not have this setting, but that does not mean they did not exist. As the Douluo Planet's grade grew higher, more and more Ultimate Attributes were born. In this book's setting, the founder of the Sun Moon Empire a thousand years ago possessed Ultimate Fire. To date, there has been no recorded instance of an Ultimate Attribute appearing on the Douluo Continent.)
If that fellow Su Yuntao were truly standing before him, he would likely be unable to withstand even a single glance from Xu Zhao and would instantly explode and die.
"Wait..."
Xu Zhao's gaze suddenly lingered on the mission rewards section.
"Innate Soul Power increased by one level (can break through the limit of Innate Full Soul Power)?"
Xu Zhao's eyes narrowed.
At his current level, his understanding of soul power was already extremely profound.
Innate Full Soul Power of level ten was the limit for mortals.
And the Innate level twenty that Qian Renxue possessed was a gift from the gods.
Although his soul power was now as high as level 94, his foundation remained the Innate Full Soul Power he had possessed back then.
If he could add one more level on top of that, even if it was just one innate level.
It might bring about an unexpected qualitative change for his future path to godhood.
