Another Self

Phoenix Wang Chuan let out a heavy sigh:

"Yes, Tang San is gone."

"But then what?"

"Brother, look clearly, I am a Soul Beast!"

"Don't you forget..."

"Who my boss is."

Douluo Wang Chuan's expression turned complex upon hearing this, and he slowly spat out three words:

"Love-struck fool."

Regarding the love-struck nature of Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena, Douluo Wang Chuan didn't know how to evaluate it for a moment.

One could only say, it's hard to comment!

Different professions are like different mountains; wishing her success is all one can do.

Phoenix Wang Chuan also revealed a bitter expression of shared sentiment, clearly feeling deeply worried about this.

At this moment, Douluo Wang Chuan recalled some details from their shared memories and asked:

"By the way, according to the memories we just shared."

"You don't seem to intend to reveal your identity as an Auspicious Beast?"

Phoenix Wang Chuan nodded, confirming:

"That's right."

"Why?" Douluo Wang Chuan asked curiously.

Although they could share memories, they could not share thoughts, so he did not know Phoenix Wang Chuan's reasoning.

Phoenix Wang Chuan stated his thoughts truthfully:

"Hanging out with them has no future."

He analyzed calmly:

"Given the current predicament where the Soul Beast clan is holed up in the Ten Thousand Beast Platform and resources are stretched thin, they simply cannot provide enough resources to cultivate me, an Auspicious Beast."

"So, the high probability is that I would just be kept by Di Tian and the others for 'key protection'."

"But while they call it protection, I feel there is no difference from surveillance; my movements would be too restricted, which is a huge hassle."

"Moreover, the future of the Soul Beast clan... sigh."

Douluo Wang Chuan also sighed softly.

The current situation and future of the Soul Beasts on the Douluo Plane.

He was naturally crystal clear about it.

Resources are scarce, living space is compressed, there is a lack of successors, and they have to face the potential threat of the Spirit Pagoda.

Following the path of Gu Yuena, which is full of uncertainty, carries risks that are indeed too high.

After all, in the middle of the fight, she was the first to surrender.

"Don't worry."

"Once I take off on my end, I will definitely bring you along."

"After all, we are one and the same."

He had shared everything with Phoenix Wang Chuan.

This meant that when he awakened his Martial Soul tomorrow, it would very likely be the "Five Virtues Phoenix"!

And it would be a Phoenix possessing its complete innate endowment.

Not the kind with castrated abilities.

Theoretically, given the current level of the Douluo Continent, it would be impossible to gestate an innate divine beast of this caliber.

But who told this world that its ancestors were truly wealthy?

After all, since even the Dragon God truly existed, having one more Phoenix Progenitor seemed reasonable.

Furthermore, he was in a human body, possessing theoretically faster cultivation speed and endless growth potential, while also possessing a god-level Martial Soul like the Five Virtues Phoenix.

Once he grew up, it probably wouldn't take many years to become a Quasi-God or even a god-level powerhouse.

By then, it wouldn't be difficult for him to charge directly into the Ten Thousand Beast Platform sub-plane and bring Phoenix Wang Chuan out.

Phoenix Wang Chuan clearly thought of this as well.

"Alright. Then you go for it."

"I'll just lay low and develop here for now."

Although he had only broken out of his shell six years ago.

But by devouring other Soul Beasts and absorbing the Heaven and Earth Vital Energy of the Ten Thousand Beast Platform sub-plane, his cultivation had already reached the thousand-year level.

Of course, if one were to speak of true combat power, relying on the miraculous nature of the Five Virtues Phoenix.

Even a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast would, for the most part, be nothing more than a small fry in front of him, easily dealt with.

The next day, as the first light of dawn appeared.

Accompanied by his parents, Wang Zhe and Luo Ya, Wang Chuan headed to the Spirit Pagoda branch located in the central area of Proud Arrival City for his Martial Soul awakening.

Yes, in this life, he was not an orphan.

Instead, he had a complete family.

His father, Wang Zhe, was a Three-Ring Soul Venerable and also a Level 3 Soul Master.

He was quite well-known in the Soul Master circles of Proud Arrival City and had a substantial income, enough to keep the family comfortably well-off.

His mother, Luo Ya, was a gentle ordinary person with no Soul Power, but she managed the household with great order.

His parents shared a deep affection and were very loving toward one another.

This often made Wang Chuan sigh, thinking that it was truly worthy of being the "Continent of Romance."

Class, wealth, and even race were not issues; the main theme was that love reigned supreme.

The towering structure of the Spirit Pagoda was already in sight. Wang Zhe stopped, his broad palm gently patting his son's shoulder, his tone steady and encouraging:

"Go on, son."

"Relax your mind, no matter the result..."

"You will always be our pride."

Wang Chuan nodded earnestly:

"Yes, Dad, I'm going in."

His mother, Luo Ya, crouched down, gently adjusting Wang Chuan's collar, her gaze soft as she looked at him:

"Xiao Chuan, don't be nervous, and don't be afraid."

"Your father is a Soul Master, and since you have his blood flowing in your veins, you will surely be able to awaken Soul Power."

"Even if..."

"Even if by some chance you don't, Mom and Dad will always support you."

Her voice was soft, yet carried a sense of firmness.

Wang Chuan looked at the love in his mother's eyes, his heart warming slightly. He grinned and waved his hand, displaying a calmness and confidence rare for a child of his age:

"Mom, you can set your heart at ease."

"I'm waiting to give you a surprise."

Having experienced the miracle of his Sea of Spirit last night.

He was now full of confidence and brimming with assurance.

Afterward, led by a Spirit Pagoda staff member in a standard uniform, Wang Chuan stepped into the tower and headed toward the area specifically designated for Martial Soul awakening.

Under normal circumstances, the vast majority of children of age undergo their Martial Soul awakening at local primary academies, conducted collectively by academy teachers or hired low-level Soul Masters.

However, because his father was a registered official Soul Master at the Spirit Pagoda, he enjoyed certain privileges.

Therefore, he could come directly to a professional institution like the Spirit Pagoda for the awakening; not only were the environment and ceremony more formal, but it was also said to be slightly more beneficial for stimulating potential.

Moreover, there was no need to wait in line, saving time.

There was not just one awakening room.

They were distributed across specific floors of the Spirit Pagoda.

Wang Chuan was brought to the door of an awakening room on the fifth floor. After the staff member signaled for him to enter alone, he turned and left.

Pushing the door open and stepping inside, Wang Chuan immediately felt a strange atmosphere.

The awakening room was not large, but the interior decorations and engraved patterns gave him a feeling of being dazzled, yet they contained an underlying order.

The floor was paved with dark stone slabs, upon which intricate and magnificent lines were outlined in a certain silver metal.

The surrounding walls and even the curved dome were similarly covered in dense, similar patterns, which flickered with a faint, dim luster, as if they were dormant veins.

Faintly, Wang Chuan felt as if something within his body was being subtly stirred by these patterns, beginning to restless and stir.

He understood that this was a sign that his Martial Soul was being awakened by the external energy field.

Inside the awakening room, there was only a middle-aged man wearing a simple, antique orange robe.

The robe was made of exquisite material, embroidered with dark gold threads depicting various forms of Soul Beasts, appearing both solemn and mysterious.
