Martial Soul Awakening Day

"You, oh you, what am I supposed to say to you?" If she hadn't experienced that life of perfection, Leng Yaozhu felt she would have been absolutely furious right now, insisting on dragging her sister back herself before dealing with that cult.

But hearing such words from her own sister, she felt nothing but heartache and helplessness.

"What is your specific situation right now?"

Calming the turbulent emotions in her heart, Leng Yaozhu regained her composure and asked.

"...Blah blah blah, and in the end, my soul power is now at level 97, and I've also made it to become one of the Four Dark Heavenly Kings of the Holy Spirit Cult."

Giving a concise summary of her experiences over the years, Leng Yulai didn't forget to add one last sentence.

"Four Dark Heavenly Kings." Muttering to herself, Leng Yaozhu's eyes flickered. After pondering for a moment, she said:

"Then don't stay at that stronghold for the time being. Find an excuse to leave, and with Finality, come directly to the Spirit Pagoda to find me."

"We'll discuss all arrangements once we sisters have met."

Having made her arrangements calmly, Leng Yaozhu then discussed some details with Leng Yulai.

It wasn't until the night grew deep that the sisters' conversation finally came to a temporary end!

Meanwhile, within the plane space of Douluo Planet.

"...Hahaha! It's finally almost over, you dying, struggling thing, you!?"

The booming, thunderous voice was filled with ecstasy, but halfway through, it cut off as if someone had grabbed his throat.

As Tang Hao's expression stiffened, the Plane Spirit, which he and Ah Yin had been wearing down until it was on the verge of losing consciousness, suddenly lit up with light!

It was as if a treasure chest that had been flung wide open and was about to be seized had suddenly been draped in a layer of protection.

The Plane Spirit, glowing once more, not only regained its initial vitality, but a strange layer of defense had appeared around her!

"...Mingyue."

A faint, almost imperceptible murmur sounded. As a flash of light swept past, the Plane Spirit, now restored to her original state, remained motionless as if she had fallen into a deep sleep.

"Ah Hao, this...?" Clutching her head, trying to shake off the hazy, fragmented memories that were nothing more than a few scattered words in her mind.

Straining to gather her energy to intensify the assault, Ah Yin saw this bizarre scene before her.

"...I'm also..." Not to mention Ah Yin, even Tang Hao himself was completely bewildered at this moment.

The other half of the plan was about to succeed, yet after a soul-piercing pain, the Plane Spirit they were about to capture had turned into this state...

"...Should we ask Xiao San?" The hazy memory fragments in his mind were becoming clearer.

Ah Yin had no choice but to press her brow tightly as she spoke.

Tang Hao, who was already doubting reality and feeling incredibly uncomfortable, naturally had no time to attend to her.

With divine power surging, he responded to Ah Yin with a single sentence, then sat down cross-legged, closing his eyes.

Time always flows away like water, slipping by in the blink of an eye.

After a full month of scientifically planned resource allocation and cultivation, Su Mingyue now felt as if he had been reborn.

Although he couldn't compare to his simulated self, he could now instantly kill an average soul master, or even a 3-ring soul master.

"Hmm—truly, there is no sense of time in cultivation; in the blink of an eye, it's time for the martial soul awakening."

Stretching as he rose from the meditation cushion, Su Mingyue tapped the Void Archives floating beside him.

"Are the resources used up again?" With a flash of golden light, Xiao Ya appeared before him with a pile of new resources.

"That's not it." Smiling as he looked at Xiao Ya, Su Mingyue couldn't help but reach out and poke her little face:

"I seem to remember saying earlier that you were supposed to come out and remind me today, right?"

"Today...?" After a few seconds of hesitation, as if she had been in standby mode, Xiao Ya quickly remembered that today was the day of the Spirit Pagoda's martial soul awakening.

A blush rose involuntarily on her small face; as an existence akin to the 'spirit' of the Void Archives, such a small mistake appearing on her was simply unbelievable.

"Hehehe, as expected, once you have human emotions, even you, Xiao Ya, will subconsciously prioritize things."

With a chuckle that carried an ambiguous meaning, Su Mingyue felt that his mood was better than ever.

After all, compared to the Bishop and its love-hate relationship with the Void Archives, his own Xiao Ya was clearly more thoughtful!

"Alright, don't take a little mistake to heart. I'm going to wash up, don't you go peeking~"

Leaning in to tease her, Su Mingyue laughed heartily and walked toward the bathroom.

"Who would want to peek at you!" Only then did she snap back to reality and retort loudly.

Xiao Ya stood in silence for a moment, looking toward the bathroom, subconsciously touching the cheek Su Mingyue had poked.

Making a fist toward the bathroom, she gathered the resources and returned to the Knowledge Space of the Void Archives.

Inside the bathroom, after quickly finishing his cleaning, Su Mingyue stood before the wardrobe.

After choosing a set of simple clothes, he smoothed out his shoulder-length black hair.

"I think I'll tie it up; after all, I've been used to that hairstyle for many years."

Su Mingyue studied himself in the mirror for a moment before using a hair tie to gather his hair over his left shoulder.

Finally, he adjusted the silver-streaked bangs on his forehead, blinked his golden eyes, and offered a satisfied, faint smile.

"As expected of me. Although I might be just a notch below the Yanzu and Guanxi present here, charming thousands of young girls is still a piece of cake."

After praising himself, he left the room, went downstairs, opened the front door, and headed toward the location of the Spirit Pagoda in this city.

Speaking of the Spirit Pagoda, it is considered a landmark building in every city within the Federation.

After all, while providing free Martial Soul awakening services, it also supplies the spirit souls and various resources required for a soul master's subsequent advancement.

In a sense, its status has long since surpassed that of the Martial Soul Hall that once spread across the continent.

Meanwhile, outside the Spirit Pagoda.

"Daddy, what do you think my Martial Soul will be? And I'll definitely have soul power, right!"

A cute little boy with beautiful, large eyes spoke in an excited tone.

He was shaking the arm of the refined, middle-aged man beside him.

"Daddy doesn't know either; it depends on luck. But you must know that no matter the result, Daddy will always love you."

Seemingly infected by the little boy's tone, the man responded gently while crouching down to ruffle the boy's hair.

"Next, Tang Wulin!"

Just as the little boy was about to say something more, a call from inside the Spirit Pagoda made him wave his fist in excitement instead:

"Wow! They called me! Daddy, I'm going in!"

"Alright, alright, just remember not to be nervous, Tangtang~"

Watching the little boy's excited back as he waved, the man's tone remained gentle.

Su Mingyue, who had witnessed the entire scene from the side, felt somewhat conflicted at this moment.

The initial Martial Soul awakening, Tang Wulin!
