Gao Nianzhen took a deep breath.
She quickly formed hand seals with both hands. Six beams of golden light shot from her fingertips, precisely striking the six black stones on the ground.
With a soft hum.
A pale golden light barrier rose instantly, enclosing Xue Yao right in the center.
Xue Yao closed his eyes.
He felt a warmth spreading through his entire body, as comfortable as soaking in a hot spring in the dead of winter.
An unknown power wandered through his body, following his blood vessels and meridians, finally surging toward the palm of his right hand.
"It's coming out."
Xue Yao's heart stirred.
The great hall was deathly quiet. Xue Lang and Gao Nianzhen both held their breath, staring fixedly at their son in the center of the formation.
The next second.
The golden light slowly dissipated.
The light barrier vanished.
There was no sign of the White Swan, the iconic symbol of the Falake royal family, nor the Golden Lion that Gao Nianzhen took such pride in.
A small beast appeared out of thin air.
It did not possess Xue Yao's body; instead, it flapped its small wings, flying circles around his head.
The little creature looked exceptionally spirited.
It had the head of an eagle with incredibly sharp eyes, while its body was shaped like a lion, looking quite sturdy.
On its back was a pair of broad wings.
The most eye-catching feature was its feathers, which were a mix of black and white.
At this moment, sunlight streamed in through the hall window, landing right upon it.
The black and white feathers shimmered with layers of iridescent halos, colorful and looking incredibly stylish.
Xue Lang, sitting on the throne, gave a violent start.
The teacup beside him was knocked over, shattering into pieces with a loud "clatter."
He didn't even bother to look at the broken porcelain on the floor, standing up abruptly.
"This... is this the legendary Griffin?!"
Xue Lang was somewhat dazed.
Beside him, Gao Nianzhen was also dumbfounded.
Could the combination of a swan and a Golden Lion actually mutate into a Griffin?
However, it did make sense; she could indeed detect the aura of both the swan and the Golden Lion from the Griffin.
After a long while, Gao Nianzhen drew a sharp breath.
"An external beast martial soul!"
Her tone was filled with shock, her voice involuntarily rising in pitch.
Normal beast martial souls manifest in an possession state upon awakening, such as her Golden Lion.
When using her martial soul, she could have the Golden Lion possess her to enhance her physical attributes.
But her son's was different.
It was a completely independent entity.
It flew around brazenly, looking just like a real soul beast.
Throughout the entire Douluo Continent, external beast martial souls were extremely rare. From ancient times to the present, only one had ever been heard of.
Gao Nianzhen and Xue Lang exchanged a glance, both seeing worry in each other's eyes.
After all, the reputation of the previous soul master with an external beast martial soul was not exactly pleasant.
Meanwhile.
Xue Yao, in the center of the formation, hadn't heard a word of what his parents were saying.
He stared blankly at the little beast flying before him, his heart already churning with massive waves.
He recognized it.
This was no mutated martial soul!
This was clearly the little Griffin he had just caught in the Kingdom of Locke game before he transmigrated!
Even that rare black and white iridescent skin was exactly the same, down to the last detail.
"Little guy, come here."
Xue Yao silently whispered in his heart.
The little Griffin seemed to understand, immediately folding its wings.
It landed steadily on Xue Yao's shoulder, rubbing its fluffy head against his cheek.
A sensation of bloodline connection surged through his entire body in an instant.
Xue Yao closed his eyes, sensing it carefully.
He immediately perceived the core attribute of this Martial Soul.
Pure wing-type.
If converted into the system of the Douluo Continent, it was an absolutely pure wind attribute.
There were no impurities.
No violent fire, no gentle water, only the most extreme, most pure wind.
This meant that he would possess peerless potential in terms of speed and aerial combat advantages.
"Yao'er! Hurry!"
Gao Nianzhen's voice interrupted Xue Yao's thoughts.
She walked forward with large strides, her voice filled with irrepressible excitement, holding a transparent blue crystal ball in her hand.
This was a tool specifically used to test Innate Soul Power.
"Put your hand on it and test your soul power!"
Gao Nianzhen handed the crystal ball to Xue Yao, her hands trembling slightly.
After all, the impression left by the last person with an external beast Martial Soul was too deep.
Xue Yao nodded.
He raised his chubby little hand and gently pressed it against the surface of the blue crystal ball.
The moment he placed it on top.
A speck of light, smaller than a grain of rice, lit up inside the crystal ball.
Immediately after.
"BOOM!"
Without any warning.
The blue radiance erupted instantly!
The crystal ball was like a small, ignited sun. Blinding blue light burst forth violently.
Every corner of the grand hall was illuminated by this intense blue glow.
The light inside the crystal ball filled every crevice, so bright that it was impossible to keep one's eyes open.
Xue Lang leaped down from the steps.
He stared fixedly at the blinding crystal ball, his mouth wide open, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.
"In... Innate..."
Xue Lang swallowed hard, his speech stuttering.
"Innate Full Soul Power!"
Gao Nianzhen finished the sentence. She looked at her son as if she were looking at a monster.
Level ten!
This was the absolute peak an ordinary person could reach upon awakening their Martial Soul on the Douluo Continent.
As long as he hunted a single soul beast and added a soul ring, Xue Yao could immediately become a true Spirit Master!
Across the entire continent, those who possessed Innate Full Soul Power were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.
They were all peerless geniuses that every major power would fight tooth and nail to recruit!
"Hahaha! Good! Very good!"
Xue Lang snapped out of it, slapped his thigh hard, and burst into laughter.
"My Farack Kingdom is about to produce a true dragon!"
Gao Nianzhen scooped Xue Yao up and kissed his face hard twice.
"Good son! Mommy knew you were absolutely a genius!"
In the grand hall, the couple danced with excitement.
Held in her arms, Xue Yao appeared to be smiling obediently.
But his heart was already thumping wildly.
Innate Full Soul Power?
Level ten?
What did that even count for?
This was merely an appetizer!
Others might be ignorant of this little griffin's background, but he knew it like the back of his hand.
This was a pet from Kingdom of Locke. And what was the core gameplay of that game?
Evolution!
The current Black and White Colorful Little Griffin was merely in its weakest juvenile stage.
According to the data settings from the mobile game in his past life.
Above the little griffin, there were advanced forms.
It could evolve into a Holy Griffin.
Breaking through even further, it could evolve into a Royal Griffin.
If... if in this real world, he could find the appropriate resources to fully unlock that ultimate evolutionary chain from the browser game?
Xue Yao took a deep breath, and four large characters popped into his mind.
[Heavenly Might Griffin]!
A base stat total of 810.
In the environment of that browser game where power creep was rampant, he wouldn't argue if you called him a vase, but in Douluo Continent, what would you have to call him?
That was the true power of a god.
Thinking of this, Xue Yao's blood began to boil.
