Martial Soul Awakening, Inheriting the Eastern Azure Dragon!

Is this dragon beautiful?

Under a cloudless sky, at the Li Family residence in Suotuo City.

Today was a joyous occasion, because the young master of the Li Family was about to awaken his Martial Soul.

The Li Family's old patriarch was a six-ring Soul Emperor, a figure of considerable prestige throughout Suotuo City. Unfortunately, the family was sparsely populated and far from thriving, as though Heaven had played a cruel joke on them.

Li Yusong, the old patriarch of the Li Family, had only fathered one son. That son had become the current head of the Li Family and had only one child himself. However, his talent was rather mediocre. Now in his thirties, his Soul Power had only reached the level of a Soul Ancestor.

Whether the Li Family could prosper depended on this child.

At the Li Family's back mountain, a short-haired boy stood bare-chested beneath a waterfall, holding a horse stance as he trained his body. He had sharp brows and bright eyes, a rather handsome young face.

Though his muscles were still small, every muscle, sinew, and bone held strength far beyond what a six-year-old should possess. He looked incredibly powerful!

At such a young age, he already had eight-pack abs!

"Hoo..."

"It has been six years since I came to this world, and I have trained for five of them. Now it is time to see the results."

"No system... but there should at least be some kind of cheat, right? Today is my Martial Soul awakening. I wonder whether my system or cheat will arrive."

"The strongest Martial Soul in the entire Li Family is the Dragon Pattern Staff. Unless something unexpected happens, my awakened Martial Soul will definitely be the Dragon Pattern Staff too. As long as I have Soul Power, I will train with everything I have and strive to break through to Title Douluo, becoming the first Douluo powerhouse in the Li Family!"

Li Fei thought to himself.

He was not from this world, but a transmigrator from Huaxia on Earth.

He had come to this world six years ago. At one, he had already learned to speak and read, earning the title of prodigy from his family and becoming their beacon of hope for changing the Li Family's circumstances. At two, he had begun focusing on physical cultivation. His daily meals were highly nutritious, and he never lacked Soul Beast meat or vegetables grown from Soul Beasts.

With that thought, he ended his training.

After getting dressed, he hurried down the mountain toward the family's front courtyard.

His steps were steady, and he crossed the rugged mountain valley as though walking on level ground.

Yet even so, in this world where bloodlines mattered above all else, if one did not become a Soul Master, no matter how impressive one was, one was still trash.

Unless one could train the body to rival a Soul Master. But no such precedent had ever appeared in the Douluo World. No pure physical powerhouse had ever succeeded.

When he reached the front courtyard, three people were already waiting, surrounded by Li Family servants.

"Master, Patriarch, Madam, the young master is here," the maid Qingqing said.

"Xiaofei, you have finished training. Come quickly, your grandfather will personally preside over your Martial Soul awakening today!"

"There is no need to guess the result. Your Martial Soul will definitely be the Dragon Pattern Staff passed down through our Li Family!"

"It all depends on how much Soul Power you have! As long as you are not completely without Soul Power, that will be enough!"

Li Yusong, Li Jianguo, and Su Lan chatted and laughed together.

Li Yusong was Li Fei's grandfather, Li Jianguo was Li Fei's father, and Su Lan was Li Fei's mother.

"Grandfather, Father, Mother."

The moment he entered, Li Fei greeted them.

Seeing his handsome and imposing grandson, Li Yusong was deeply satisfied.

He wore a kindly smile and stepped forward to pinch Li Fei's muscles. "Not bad. For a six-year-old child to possess such bearing and physique, you have already surpassed many others. Even children older than you are not as capable as you."

Li Yusong said, "If you have Soul Power, Grandfather will take you to study at Shrek Academy. There are two Soul Saints there. They are old friends and brothers I trained alongside in the past, and we are very close. We will nurture you well."

Li Fei did not actually object to studying at Shrek Academy.

After all, what people disliked was Tang San and Yu Xiaogang, not Shrek Academy.

After entering the academy, he could simply focus on his own studies. As long as Tang San and Yu Xiaogang did not provoke him, he could not be bothered to deal with them.

Moreover, he had coveted the immortal herbs within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the greatest cheat of all, for a long time.

The Shrek Seven Devils had been able to rise so quickly in the middle stages largely thanks to those immortal herbs. Otherwise, with their original aptitude, becoming gods would have been impossible. Even reaching Title Douluo would have been a struggle.

Tang San was blessed with great fortune, and Li Fei could make use of that to help himself grow quickly.

"All right, Grandfather. Let's begin. I have waited six years!" Li Fei took a deep breath and nodded.

"Good, good! You are the prodigy of our Li Family, our hope for future prosperity! Come, stand inside the Hexagram Array!"

Li Yusong nodded.

Li Fei stepped into the Hexagram Array that had long been drawn on the ground.

Li Yusong tossed out several awakening stones. With the aid of Soul Power, they floated in orderly fashion around Li Fei, surrounding him.

The next moment, the Hexagram Array emitted a faint glow. A force lifted Li Fei's body from the ground, leaving him floating in the low air.

Then, an inexplicable sensation surged from his right hand. It began as a slight itch, before a staff appeared.

The three of them fixed their eyes on the small staff. Their eyes immediately lit up, and they let out sighs of relief. "It is indeed the Dragon Pattern Staff. Next, we need to see whether he has Soul Power."

At those words, their relaxed hearts tensed once more.

However, while the three of them spoke, Li Fei had sunk into his own Spirit Sea.

A beam of azure light appeared before him, while an incredibly dense azure life aura gathered around his body.

An enormous azure dragon appeared before him! It stood tall against the heavens, looking down upon him!

This Azure Dragon possessed terrifying might! It was absolutely no ordinary being!

"You are... the Eastern Azure Dragon!"

Li Fei recognized what this dragon was at first glance!

No one from Huaxia should fail to recognize it!

For it was the Eastern Azure Dragon, one of the Four Sacred Beasts from ancient Huaxia mythology, one of the Four Spirits of Heaven, and one of the four Divine Beasts spoken of by later generations!

It was the foremost of the Four Sacred Beasts, the strongest of them all!

Legend had it that the Eastern Azure Dragon had condensed from all wood-element spiritual energy. Its body contained the purest wood-element spiritual energy, the energy of growth, and the energy of life!

Li Fei said excitedly, "It seems you are my cheat. But can this world withstand your existence?"

He was going to become a descendant of the dragon!

"This world truly cannot bear your true form. What you now see is merely one of my countless avatars. Even so, it is enough to overturn this world."

"You must traverse the myriad heavens and worlds and become the strongest before you can travel to the supreme plane and meet my true body. I await the day we meet."

"One from Huaxia, my homeland, you have been chosen to become my inheritor. Accept my power!"

"From this day onward, you are a descendant of the dragon!"

The Eastern Azure Dragon's aged yet ancient voice echoed through Li Fei's Spirit Sea. The next moment, its entire draconic body merged directly into Li Fei's body.

At the same time, all wood-element spiritual energy around the Li Family rapidly gathered into Li Fei's body, causing him to shine with a green light.

This scene left everyone stunned and confused.

"Old man, what is happening?"

"Why has my son turned green?"

Li Jianguo and Su Lan both stared wide-eyed, utterly dumbfounded.

"You are asking me? Who should I ask? I do not know either!" Li Yusong shook his head.

"A dragon!?"

"An azure dragon?!"

"What on earth is going on!?"

The three were shocked, confused, and bewildered!

A dragon's roar rang out from Li Fei's body. A massive phantom of an Azure Dragon appeared and, before their very eyes, merged into the Dragon Pattern Staff in Li Fei's right hand.

The Dragon Pattern Staff turned azure.

The dragon patterns carved upon it also turned azure, carrying far more intimidating force than the original ancient patterns. It looked incredibly impressive!

"This!"

"Could his Martial Soul have mutated?"

"And judging by this display, it does not seem to be mutating in a bad direction!"

Li Yusong's old eyes widened! He was shocked and overjoyed!

Heaven was blessing the Li Family!
