The scorching heat grew increasingly intense, the original fiery red radiance gradually shifting toward a deep, dark purple.

"Ah!" Following a sharp cry after a moment of stalemate, a completely dark purple phoenix manifested over Leng Yulai.

"Dark Phoenix! A mutated martial soul of quite high quality, indeed."

He offered his critique with a flicker in his eyes; although such a martial soul appearing in the outside world would more or less be labeled as potentially belonging to an 'Evil Soul Master,' he, Qiangu Dieting, as a Peak Douluo, had seen the interaction between his youngest son and the Leng sisters down to the last detail.

Considering the various possibilities for the future, he decided to build some momentum for Leng Yulai instead.

"Then child, retract your martial soul and come test your soul power."

A kind smile appeared on his face, and after sweeping his gaze across the crowd, Qiangu Dieting gestured toward Leng Yulai.

Seeing this, the lingering anxiety in Leng Yulai's heart vanished, replaced by a sense of relief under his benevolent smile.

As she proceeded with the next step, the soul power crystal lit up completely! It was undeniably the level of Innate Full Soul Power!

"What a magnificent Innate Full Soul Power! Coupled with this extraordinary mutated martial soul, it seems my Spirit Pagoda will soon have another Limit Douluo, hahahaha!"

Laughing heartily as he offered his affirmation, Qiangu Dieting's words caused the expressions of everyone present to turn solemn.

On the side of the Leng family, many gazes filled with gratitude were cast his way.

"Alright, next, Qiangu Mingyue."

Maintaining his smile as he dismissed Leng Yulai, Qiangu Dieting, having already paved a smooth path for his youngest son, looked toward Mingyue, who was already walking forward.

"Are you ready, lad?"

"I am ready."

"Then place your hand upon it."

As an inexplicable energy surged into his body, Mingyue felt as if something was about to erupt from within him.

He subconsciously raised his right hand, and with a brilliant flash of light!

Under the expectant gazes of Qiangu Dieting and the crowd, once the light dissipated, a golden hexahedron was left hovering above Mingyue's hand.

"..."

The anticipation dissolved into a long silence, and the crowd stared at Mingyue in confusion.

"Is that it?" someone asked subconsciously.

"Is this all there is?" Qiangu Dieting also looked at Mingyue with a stern expression.

"That is all. This is my martial soul; it is called the Void Archives."

Yet, facing the strange looks from the crowd, Mingyue's expression remained indifferent.

"Void Archives?" After a long silence, Qiangu Dieting said in a deep voice, "Retract it and come test your soul power."

He complied and placed his hand on the soul power crystal; as a faint light flickered, it revealed an Innate Soul Power of level one!

This scene left everyone present dumbfounded, followed by another deathly silence.

With a sudden "Bang!" as the soul power crystal shattered, Qiangu Dieting's figure vanished from the awakening platform.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Mingyue lowered his eyes, lost in thought.

The gazes of the crowd quickly shifted from their initial respect and longing to a faint sense of disdain.

As a member of the Qiangu Family, he had not only failed to inherit the family martial soul, but his Innate Soul Power was also merely level one.

Even a figure like Qiangu Dieting had lost his composure at such a sight.

It seemed this Qiangu Mingyue, who had been rumored to be a prodigy, was nothing more than this.

[Ding! Congratulations to Master for unlocking the achievements: "Martial Soul Awakening", "Initial Soul Power Test".]

The Simulator's prompt sounded right on cue, and he scanned the crowd, taking in all their expressions.

Upon seeing the concern and indignation in the eyes of the Leng sisters, he responded with a smile.

Simulator, skip this period of time.

[Ding! Skip successful, memory playback continues!]

[7 years old: Since the day of the martial soul awakening ceremony, you have discovered that your status within the Qiangu Family has undergone many subtle changes.]

[Your mother, who once cared for you, has begun to distance herself, and your once-kind older brother, Qiangu Dongfeng, has also started to avoid contact with you.]

["A frail body, inferior soul power!" Your eldest brother, Qiangu Qingfeng, even openly declares outside that you are a disgrace to the Qiangu Family.]

[8 years old: Although your status in the Qiangu Family has plummeted, as the son of the family head, you still have a small house of your own.]

[Though you often live alone, the Leng sisters frequently come to visit you, which brings a bit of warmth to your home.]

[Come to think of it, merely due to a change in talent, you have experienced the fickleness of human relationships over these past two years, which makes you sigh with emotion.]

[9 years old: With your cultivation progress stagnant, you begin to try a different approach and start tinkering with soul guidance technology.]

[Although you are working on it alone, your extensive knowledge allows you to self-study and strive forward using the information you saw in the library during your youth.]

[However, researching soul guidance technology inevitably leads to the problem of materials; if it were before, it would be fine, but given your current status in the Qiangu Family, it is difficult.]

Fortunately, after the Leng Family sisters learned of your predicament, they didn't hesitate to send you a massive amount of materials.

When Leng Yaozhu handed you the spatial Soul Tool containing the materials, she couldn't help but chuckle: "Since Ah Yue is so capable, why not become sister's exclusive Great Inventor from now on? Let's change the world together."

Seeing this, Leng Yulai was not to be outdone, likewise calling out her own declaration to you with a charming cry.

Although you felt a strong, inexplicable sense of déjà vu, seeing the fair hands Leng Yaozhu and Leng Yulai extended toward you, you didn't hesitate to grasp them, interlocking your fingers with theirs!

At age 10, in terms of soul-guided technology, you were no longer confined by the conventions of your predecessors; once you unleashed your imagination, your research topics became increasingly unrestrained and whimsical.

You began to invent all sorts of strange and peculiar things.

At age 11, you started to feel that these studies were meaningless. Whether it was soul-guided technology or mecha forging, they were nothing more than external objects—external objects! External objects!! You seemed to have fallen into a cyclical trap of knowledge.

You began to crave more knowledge, so you turned your focus toward Martial Souls and Soul Masters.

And the first thing you chose to study was your own Martial Soul, the Void Archives!

At age 12, you began to shed your youthful awkwardness. Perhaps due to years of research and study, you possessed an ethereal and tranquil temperament; anyone who saw you couldn't help but offer a compliment: "What a gentle and refined young man, like jade!"

Yet, the more mature you became, the more you craved results. You began to study the Void Archives with even greater obsession, neglecting sleep and food, but today, a sudden visit from Leng Yulai forced you to put your research on hold.
