Azure Dragon Martial Soul

Ao Zhan did not think he lacked a martial soul.

Although martial souls mainly depended on inheritance, and Ao Zhan had no parents in the biological sense, so theoretically, he should not have had one.

But he had a system.

The Ultimate War God System had told him that he possessed a martial soul, one the system had tailored according to his conditions, and it would definitely satisfy him.

Of course, that was not what Ao Zhan truly anticipated. What he really looked forward to was what the system had told him: his Alien Energy had not disappeared.

But only after he awakened his martial soul would it tell him where his immense Alien Energy had gone.

Ao Zhan's final amount of Alien Energy had been fifteen Black Holes!

If he could recover that much Alien Energy, he would be invincible throughout the entire Douluo Universe!

"My Alien Energy!"

Ao Zhan clenched his fists, unable to put his excitement into words.

As long as he could reclaim his Alien Energy, he could do whatever he pleased in the Douluo Universe.

When Qian Renxue brought Ao Zhan to the place where martial souls were awakened, he discovered that it was the Worship Hall.

The Seven Great Elders and the current Pope, Qian Xunji, had been waiting for quite some time. Smiles appeared on all their faces when they saw Ao Zhan and Qian Renxue arrive.

"You're finally here. We've been waiting for you for ages." Azure Luan chuckled.

Qian Renxue puffed out her cheeks. "It was because Brother Zhan went off to fight someone again. Otherwise, we would have arrived long ago."

The Seven Great Elders and Qian Xunji all burst out laughing. Naturally, they believed Qian Renxue.

Ever since Ao Zhan had arrived, he was either fighting or on his way to fight. He had beaten up every child here, including the elder descendants apart from Qian Renxue.

There was no helping it. Being Qian Renxue's playmate was nice, but it also brought plenty of trouble.

The children of Spirit Hall whose jealousy had exploded were one group, and the descendants of the elders were another.

Compared to those explosively jealous children, the descendants of the worshippers had looked down on him even more at first.

The elder descendants were of noble status and arrogant by nature. Ao Zhan, meanwhile, was a newcomer with no background, yet Qian Renxue was very close to him.

It was like a poor boy courting a wealthy young lady—a toad trying to eat swan meat.

There was a way to turn all that around: strength.

Though the elder descendants had the guidance of the elders and had used medicinal baths since childhood to improve their physiques, Ao Zhan still dealt with them with ease.

Even without Alien Energy and before awakening his martial soul, his combat experience and fighting techniques were beyond anything they could compare to. His stamina was also terrifyingly abundant, and the longer he fought, the more energized he became.

Thus, he knocked down the elder descendants one after another. Later, when they realized they could not defeat him one-on-one, they simply resorted to ganging up on him.

Yet his fighting techniques were far too exquisite. No matter how many opponents there were, he always won in the end. The elder descendants were convinced, and privately called him the Little War God.

The elders did not get angry over this. Their descendants were usually arrogant and untouchable—neither to be beaten nor reprimanded—and they looked down on everyone as if through their nostrils.

But after Ao Zhan taught them a lesson, they all learned that there was always someone greater beyond the greatest. From then on, they trained diligently to improve their strength, and the elders were naturally delighted.

"Little Zhan, being young and hot-blooded is a good thing, but you should still show some restraint in the future. It would not be good if you seriously injured someone." Azure Luan spoke to Ao Zhan kindly.

Ao Zhan had beaten up far too many Spirit Hall children, most of whom were disciples or descendants of Spirit Hall elders.

These people would become the foundation of Spirit Hall in the future, so Azure Luan still hoped Ao Zhan would show them a little mercy.

Ao Zhan nodded. "I understand, Grandpa Azure Luan."

He had no reservations about calling Azure Luan Grandpa. He had transmigrated at eighteen in his first life, and although he had supposedly spent a hundred thousand years in the Super Beast Armed World, he had only been conscious for a few days.

So he felt nothing wrong with acknowledging them as elders, especially since they treated him so well.

"Enough, enough. Let the younger generation settle their own affairs. Little Zhan knows his limits."

Qian Daoliu spoke up. He stepped into the already prepared awakening formation and said to Qian Renxue and Ao Zhan, "Which of you will go first?"

"I'll go first."

Qian Renxue raised her little hand and ran over.

"Good. Xue'er, stretch out your right hand."

Qian Daoliu smiled kindly and took Qian Renxue's outstretched little hand, then poured his Soul Power into the hexagram formation beneath their feet.

Buzz—

Countless particles of light surged from the formation and entered Qian Renxue's body.

Qian Renxue closed her eyes. Dazzling golden light shimmered around her, holy radiance gleamed, and her golden hair fluttered in the air, making her appear incomparably sacred.

Then, a peerlessly beautiful Six-Winged Angel martial soul appeared behind her.

No one was surprised at the sight of that martial soul.

As the granddaughter of Spirit Hall's current Grand Elder and the daughter of the current Pope, it would have been strange if her martial soul had not been the Six-Winged Angel.

"Come, Xue'er. Let's test your Innate Soul Power."

Qian Daoliu took a crystal ball specially used to test Innate Soul Power from a Soul Tool and motioned for Qian Renxue to place her hand on it.

This time, everyone held their breath.

If her Innate Soul Power was too low or nonexistent, then even if Qian Renxue possessed the Six-Winged Angel martial soul, she would be unable to become a soul master or carry the banner of the Qian Clan.

Qian Renxue placed her hand on it, and the crystal ball erupted with dazzling light.

"Level 20! Innate Soul Power at level 20!"

"Hahaha! Big Brother, even you never achieved this back then!"

The elders were so excited that their faces flushed red, their expressions filled with exhilaration.

Qian Daoliu was the same. Qian Renxue had actually reached level 20 Innate Soul Power. Not a single Pope or Grand Elder in the Qian Clan's history had ever achieved such a feat.

It was simply the Angel God manifesting divine grace!

After being excited for quite some time, Qian Daoliu finally looked toward Ao Zhan.

"Little Zhan, come over."

Qian Renxue stepped aside, and Ao Zhan walked forward into the formation. Qian Daoliu injected Soul Power into it.

Ao Zhan closed his eyes. He felt an endless stream of power surging forth from within his body.

Buzz—

Brilliant azure light erupted, enveloping Ao Zhan completely as immense life energy churned within it.

Roar—!!!

A terrifying dragon's might suddenly descended, causing every possessor of a beast martial soul across Douluo Continent to tremble inwardly.

Within the Saintess Palace, Bibi Dong calmed her disordered blood and qi before looking toward the Worship Hall in horror.

"What is going on? Could it be that Qian Daoliu and the others are up to something again?!"

Deep within the Lake of Life, several colossal creatures opened their eyes in terror.

Inside the Worship Hall, the elders hurriedly circulated their Soul Power to resist it. Even the Angel God Statue they worshipped flickered unstably, as though it had been frightened by that dragon's might.

However, Qian Daoliu and the others did not notice this, because Ao Zhan drew their attention far more strongly.

That brilliant azure light seemed to contain vast life energy. Bathed in it, Golden Crocodile and the others felt pleasantly warm and exceptionally comfortable.

When the light faded, a majestic azure divine dragon appeared behind Ao Zhan.

It looked entirely different from the dragons known to Qian Daoliu and the others.

Its head resembled a camel's, its horns a deer's, its eyes a rabbit's, its ears a cow's, its belly a clam's, and its scales a fish's.

Its body was long and slender like a serpent's. Long dragon whiskers drifted from either side of its mouth and nose, while four legs grew from its belly, each bearing five claws.

It appeared so imposing and sacred.

Ao Zhan looked at his martial soul and smiled. He knew exactly what it was.

One of the Four Symbols of Heaven from myth and legend, the Eastern Holy Beast—the Azure Dragon!

It was also the power he had obtained in the Super Beast Armed World.
