Douluo Shuttle: I Pulled Out a Dou Technique—Why Didn't You Explode? Part 3

Since his meridians had already contained the energy known as Soul Power, cultivating Dou Qi would be much easier as well.

At that moment, he possessed two kinds of energy within his body: Soul Power and Dou Qi!

By cultivating Dou Qi, he had already sensed the Soul Power within his body. In other words, he would definitely be able to awaken Soul Power.

He just did not know what his Martial Soul would be.

Moreover, perhaps because of his Dou Qi cultivation, the quality of his Soul Power was also improving, much like Soul Power cultivated through the Mysterious Heaven Skill.

However, what he cultivated now was merely a basic method for cultivating Dou Qi. It was probably only a little better than the ordinary meditation methods of the Douluo World.

It was not too overpowered yet.

The night passed without incident.

Morning sunlight shone through the curtains into the room. Liu Bai withdrew from his cultivation state and stretched lazily.

"Cultivating Dou Qi feels amazing."

After briefly sensing his body, he found that after a night of cultivation, he had condensed two strands of Dou Qi.

His Soul Power had also increased by a tiny amount.

Both were growing at once. Awesome!

Martial Soul: Flame, and a Second Martial Soul?

When he came outside, Ma Qi had already risen and was practicing a Dou Technique in the courtyard.

His body moved constantly, and every punch and kick stirred a gust of wind.

It was clear how powerful his strikes were. When he saw Liu Bai come out, he stopped practicing.

"Xiao Bai, you're up. How did your cultivation go last night? There's no need to rush when cultivating Dou Qi. Condensing your first strand of Dou Qi isn't something you can accomplish in a day or two."

Liu Bai nodded.

"Don't worry, Uncle Ma Qi. I'm in a good frame of mind."

He had no intention of revealing that he had cultivated Dou Qi in a single night. That was far too shocking. Without sufficient strength, it was better to keep a low profile.

"That's good. We have to deliver another batch of goods today, and we probably won't be back for seven days. Stay at home during that time and don't run around, understand?"

Ma Qi reminded him.

If the caravan wanted to keep operating, it had to constantly carry out delivery jobs. It was easy to imagine that such situations would not be uncommon in the future.

Liu Bai nodded.

Ma Qi packed up, took his weapon and some gold coins, then headed out.

Only after confirming that Ma Qi and the others had left town did Liu Bai return to his room.

Ma Qi truly trusted him, actually feeling at ease leaving him home alone.

Partly because he was a child, and partly because of Ma Qi's own personality.

Of course, it was also because Ma Qi carried most of his belongings with him.

He raised his hand and summoned the Shuttle Gate, then pushed it open and walked inside.

He returned directly to the Douluo Continent.

He had now confirmed the world beyond the gate and obtained the initial cultivation method for Dou Qi.

That meant he could return for now. After all, he was originally from the Douluo Continent.

And he had not yet awakened his Martial Soul.

Perfect. He would awaken his Martial Soul today.

Any Nuoding City resident who reached the age of six could go to the Spirit Hall Branch in Nuoding City to awaken their Martial Soul.

For free.

"What Martial Soul will I awaken?"

His parents had died during an outing when he was a little over five years old. Neither of their Martial Souls had been particularly powerful.

He truly had no idea what kind of Martial Soul he would awaken.

Still, as long as it was not too bad, he was absolutely confident that he could become strong with the Shuttle Gate!

He returned to his room. Since he had gone to the Battle Through the Heavens world from the small courtyard last time, he naturally returned to the small courtyard as well.

He took some Gold Soul Coins and headed straight out toward the Spirit Hall Branch in Nuoding City.

The Spirit Hall Branch stood in the center of Nuoding City. Even though it was only a branch hall—

—it was still magnificent and imposing.

The enormous dome alone was over a hundred meters wide from the front and twenty meters high. It had three floors in total.

"Stop there, little friend. This is Spirit Hall. You can't just wander in."

As soon as Liu Bai arrived at Spirit Hall, he was stopped by the two guards at the entrance.

The two guards were not very old either, seeming to be only in their twenties. There was not much Soul Power fluctuation from them.

They were probably not even Soul Masters. In a small place like Nuoding City, Soul Masters were extremely rare.

Not even Spirit Hall could afford to use them as gatekeepers.

"Hello, uncles. I'm a resident of Nuoding City, and I turned six this year. I came to awaken my Martial Soul."

Liu Bai explained his purpose, and the two guards showed looks of understanding.

"So that's it. Go on in, then. Grandmaster Su Yuntao went to the villages outside Nuoding City today to help the villagers awaken their Martial Souls. Go find Grandmaster Ma Xiunuo in the reception hall on the first floor. He'll help you."

"Thank you."

Liu Bai nodded in acknowledgment and quickly entered Spirit Hall.

The two guards looked back at him and spoke quietly.

"Do you think he'll awaken Soul Power?"

"Who knows? Only a few people in Nuoding City awaken Soul Power each year."

Liu Bai did not know about their discussion. By then, he had already found the reception hall and walked straight inside.

He immediately bumped into a beautiful female Soul Master.

"Hm? Little friend, who are you? How did you get here?"

Liu Bai looked up and met her gaze.

"Hello, big sister. I came to awaken my Martial Soul. The guards at the entrance told me to find Grandmaster Ma Xiunuo here."

Si Si understood at once. So he had come to awaken his Martial Soul.

"I'll help you. Grandmaster Ma Xiunuo is busy right now, so he may not have time to assist you."

"Really? Thank you, big sister."

Si Si gently rubbed Liu Bai's little head.

"What an adorable little brother. Who knows how many girls you'll charm to death in the future? Come with me."

Liu Bai followed Si Si into the room.

She took two items from a nearby cabinet: six round black stones and a shining blue crystal ball.

Si Si arranged the six black stones into a hexagon on the ground.

"Alright, little brother. Step inside. Don't be afraid. Feel carefully."

As she spoke, Si Si had already summoned her Martial Soul.

Two Soul Rings rose from beneath her feet, one white and one yellow!

"Azure Fox, possess me!"

Si Si's Martial Soul was the Azure Fox, a fairly common agility-type beast Martial Soul.

Her figure became a little more slender, and her demeanor grew even more alluring.

"Well? Is big sister's Martial Soul pretty?"

Si Si did not forget to tease Liu Bai.

Liu Bai immediately offered praise.

"Pretty. It's the prettiest Martial Soul I've ever seen."

"Giggle, alright, don't be nervous. I'm starting now."

Si Si's hands flew rapidly. Six faint green rays entered the six black stones on the ground, and a hazy golden light immediately burst forth.

It enveloped Liu Bai.

Warmth. That was Liu Bai's first sensation. His entire body seemed to be wrapped in a warm world, indescribably comfortable.

The warm aura seeped into his body. Liu Bai clearly felt the Soul Power within him stir slightly, even drawing out the two strands of Dou Qi he had cultivated only yesterday.

Then, wrapped in that warm aura, it felt as though something within his body had shattered!

It's coming!

My Martial Soul!

All the warm aura gathered toward his palms!

Si Si's eyes lit up. So many golden light particles—this had to be a powerful Martial Soul!

She had not expected to be so lucky!

She had simply happened to encounter a child who came to awaken his Martial Soul, yet he was about to awaken such a powerful one!

For ordinary Spirit Hall members like them, if they could awaken a child with extraordinary potential and recruit him into Spirit Hall, they would receive considerable benefits!

They might even be promoted directly.

Under Si Si's expectant gaze, Liu Bai's Martial Soul finally appeared!

A cluster of golden flame bloomed in his palm!
