Sun-Moon Bloodline Blue Silver Grass? Evolution, Blue Silver King! Mission: Obtain First Soul Ring!

"Are you Su Yuntao?"

The voice of Xu Zhao rang in his ears, startling Su Yuntao so much that the files in his hands scattered all over the floor.

He jerked his head up, staring at the strange young man who had appeared in front of his desk out of nowhere.

He was about to flare up and scold the intruder, but he suddenly felt a pressure as heavy as a mountain rushing toward him, making it difficult for him to even breathe.

"M-my lord, who are you?"

Su Yuntao swallowed hard; his intuition as a Soul Grand Master told him that the person before him was dangerous! Extremely dangerous!

"Come with me. I need a favor."

Xu Zhao couldn't be bothered with small talk and reached out to grab Su Yuntao by the shoulder.

"Ah? Where to? What kind of favor? I'm still on duty..."

Su Yuntao was completely bewildered, and before he could react, he felt his body grow light.

The next second.

Whoosh--!

The wind whistled in his ears, and the scenery blurred as it flew backward.

Su Yuntao widened his eyes in terror, watching Notting City shrink rapidly beneath his feet.

He also looked at the young man beside him, who was carrying him through the air without using any flying Soul Tool.

"He... he's flying?!"

"A Title Douluo?!"

Su Yuntao's brain instantly crashed.

According to common knowledge on the Douluo Continent, aside from Soul Masters with flying Martial Souls, only powerhouses who had reached the level of Title Douluo could fly through the air by relying on their immense soul power!

Good heavens!

How could he, a mere level 26 Soul Grand Master, be so "kidnapped" by a Title Douluo?!

Holy Soul Village.

In the center of the village, before that slightly dilapidated wooden house—the Spirit Hall Branch of Holy Soul Village.

Two figures descended from the sky.

"We're here."

Xu Zhao casually dropped Su Yuntao, whose legs had turned to jelly, onto the ground. He swept his gaze over the familiar wooden house, a curve forming at the corner of his mouth.

"Th-this is Holy Soul Village?"

Su Yuntao clutched his knees, gasping for air, and it took him a long time to recover.

He looked at the familiar surroundings, then at the calm-looking Xu Zhao, and finally at Lan Yiyi, who stood beside him without speaking but radiated an equally terrifying aura.

He was on the verge of tears:

"Y-your Excellency, what on earth do you want by bringing me to such a backwater place?"

"If I have offended you in any way, just slap me to death; please don't scare me like this..."

Xu Zhao glanced at him and pointed toward the wooden house:

"Go in and set up the awakening ceremony."

"Huh?"

Su Yuntao froze, thinking he had misheard:

"S-set up an awakening ceremony?"

"Correct."

Xu Zhao nodded, his tone matter-of-fact:

"I want to awaken my Martial Soul."

"..."

The air went silent for a few seconds.

Su Yuntao widened his signature dead-fish eyes, looking at Xu Zhao, then at the soul power fluctuations that hadn't fully dissipated behind him, and he was completely stunned.

"Your Excellency... are... are you playing with me?"

Su Yuntao pointed at Xu Zhao, his voice trembling as he became incoherent from the sheer absurdity of it all:

"You can already fly through the air!

This means your soul power is at least at the level of a Title Douluo, or you possess an incredibly powerful flying ability!"

"A peerless powerhouse like you still needs to awaken a Martial Soul?!"

"That's like... like a giant dragon running up to an ant and asking the ant to teach it how to breathe fire! It's absurd!"

Su Yuntao felt his entire worldview collapse at this very moment.

Are the big shots these days all this twisted?

Do they specifically come to mess with small fries like him?

"Enough with the nonsense."

Xu Zhao frowned slightly, and a chill instantly enveloped Su Yuntao:

"Do as you're told."

"Or are you trying to test my patience?"

Feeling that tangible killing intent, Su Yuntao shuddered, his survival instinct instantly overcoming his urge to complain.

"No, no, no!

I'll do it!

I'll do it right away!"

Su Yuntao scrambled into the wooden hut, tumbling as he went.

He fumbled through his pack, pulling out six black awakening stones, arranged them in a hexagram formation, and then tremblingly took out the blue crystal ball.

"Your... Your Excellency, it's ready."

Su Yuntao stood beside the formation, took a deep breath, tried his best to calm down, and then habitually shouted his classic line:

"Lone Wolf, possess!"

Accompanied by a wolf's howl, a cyan wolf shadow emerged behind Su Yuntao.

One white, one yellow, and one purple, three spirit rings rose slowly.

Although in front of Xu Zhao, this aura was as weak as a husky's, Su Yuntao still dutifully completed the process.

"Please... please stand in the center."

Xu Zhao stepped into the middle of the six awakening stones.

He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and felt the faint pull of spirit power around him.

As Su Yuntao injected his spirit power into the awakening stones.

A layer of faint golden light slowly enveloped Xu Zhao.

Inside Xu Zhao's sea of consciousness.

The vast, boundless mental space was clearly divided into two halves.

On the left, a brilliant Sun hung high in the sky, radiating endless light and heat.

Golden flames surged and roared.

On the right, a cold, solitary Moon hung silently, casting silver radiance like water.

The Sun and Moon shone together, yin and yang opposing yet subtly coexisting.

These two diametrically opposed yet equally terrifying powers maintained a fragile and perfect balance within Xu Zhao's sea of consciousness.

They occupied half of this world each.

However, the moment Su Yuntao injected his spirit power and the awakening ceremony began.

A sudden change occurred!

In that chaotic zone where the Sun and Moon met, where yin and yang divided dusk and dawn, a faint yet resilient blue light lit up without warning.

Immediately after, that speck of blue light rapidly sprouted and grew, expanding at an incredible speed.

A Blue Silver Grass, crystalline and translucent, with pale golden light flowing through its veins, slowly unfurled at the boundary of yin and yang.

It lacked the dominance of the Sun Martial Soul and the mystery of the Moon Martial Soul.

What it possessed was the purest, most primitive aura of life.

Resilient, strong, and endless.

With the appearance of this Blue Silver Grass, the once clearly divided Sun and Moon actually produced a strange resonance.

The golden sunlight and silver moonlight seemed to be drawn by some force, gathering toward the Blue Silver Grass.

Nourished by the Sun and Moon, the aura of that Blue Silver Grass began to skyrocket!

Outside, at the Holy Soul Village Spirit Hall Branch.

"This... this is..."

Su Yuntao's eyes widened as he looked at Xu Zhao standing in the center of the awakening formation, his mouth hanging open wide enough to fit an egg.

He saw that the faint golden light originally shrouding Xu Zhao had now turned into a dazzling blue-gold!

A fresh, natural aura, yet one containing immense vitality, erupted from Xu Zhao's body.

It instantly filled the entire wooden hut.

Bathed in this aura, Su Yuntao felt his entire body relax and rejuvenate.
