Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony Begins

Under Wang Yu's control, a gentle, pure stream of Soul Power erupted from his hand.

Wang Yu's martial soul was White Cloud, an exceptionally balanced and mild martial soul. The Soul Power nurtured by such a martial soul was best suited for helping youths like Mu Tianchen, who had yet to awaken their martial souls, do so.

Gentle white Soul Power turned into trickling streams and entered Mu Tianchen's body, beginning to cleanse his meridians.

Time passed little by little.

Mu Tianchen felt as if his body were being tempered by a gentle force of Soul Power. A comfortable sensation filled every part of him, like bathing beneath the sun.

Three minutes.

Five minutes.

In the blink of an eye, ten minutes had passed.

Suddenly, at that moment, Mu Tianchen's body instantly grew scorching hot, turning into a massive furnace.

Mu Tianchen immediately realized something was wrong. Wang Yu's Soul Power was like a fuse, instantly detonating the volcano inside him.

He had wanted Wang Yu to stop the awakening, but the energy within him erupted too quickly for him to react. A surge of energy rushed into his mind, nearly knocking him unconscious.

"Ah!"

Suddenly, Mu Tianchen felt as though his body were about to explode. The extreme pain instantly changed his expression, and a miserable scream burst from his throat.

Wang Yu was startled on the spot. Looking at Mu Tianchen, he cried out, "What is going on?"

What was this? Wasn't this just an ordinary martial soul awakening?

Why did this little fellow look so agonized?

He panicked. No, which part had gone wrong?

"Little fellow, how do you feel now?"

Wang Yu asked Mu Tianchen worriedly.

He immediately cut off the flow of Soul Power. Before Mu Tianchen improved, he would not continue helping him awaken.

"I'm fine. Spirit Master, please continue the awakening."

At that moment,

his voice was somewhat weak. Even though, at the instant that Soul Power erupted, his entire body had felt as if it were exploding,

right afterward, his body seemed to repair itself. All the pain vanished, leaving him shocked.

However, what shocked him even more came afterward. When that Soul Power erupted, he discovered that it was actually tempering his physique, making it stronger bit by bit!

That discovery instantly filled him with delight.

Awakening a martial soul could strengthen the body too?

Was there really such a good thing?

No one became strong overnight; strength was accumulated little by little. Build up a little now, then a little more later, and slowly, one would become incredibly powerful.

It was precisely because of this that, when Wang Yu asked whether he could still endure it, he directly said he was fine and could take it.

Compared to strengthening his physique, what was a little pain worth?

"No, little fellow, can you really endure this?"

Wang Yu looked at Mu Tianchen strangely.

You call this being fine? The veins on your face are bulging.

Still, to be honest, it was his first time seeing a six-year-old child with bulging veins. The sight felt incredibly bizarre.

"I'm really fine, Spirit Master. I can do it. If you don't believe me, look!"

Without even thinking, Mu Tianchen slammed his chest several times. His strength was no weaker than an adult's, and several booming thuds echoed throughout the Awakening Room.

"Little fellow, stop hitting yourself! Don't hurt yourself."

"Fine. Since you think you can still hold on, I'll continue helping you awaken."

Mu Tianchen's bold action gave Wang Yu quite a fright.

He had no choice. To keep the little fellow from continuing to hurt himself, he could only helplessly agree to Mu Tianchen's request and continue the martial soul awakening.

He was far more careful than at the beginning.

After what had just happened, he discovered that Mu Tianchen's body was like a volcano. It possessed tremendous energy while also being extremely easy to set off.

As time went on and he continuously sent Soul Power into Mu Tianchen's body, a platinum radiance unexpectedly erupted from Mu Tianchen's body.

Moreover, he could vaguely see a platinum dragon soaring behind him!

This discovery instantly delighted Wang Yu.

This was a sign that a powerful martial soul was about to awaken!!

One inch, two inches—the platinum light on Mu Tianchen's body surged in an instant to eight inches, nine inches, ten inches!

In that instant, dazzling light filled the entire Awakening Room, dyeing it platinum.

At the same time, a powerful sacred aura slowly enveloped the entire Awakening Room.

"Not good, my Soul Power is running dry!"

However, in the next second, Wang Yu's expression changed drastically. The Soul Power in his body had instantly vanished, as if Mu Tianchen had absorbed it all.

Not only that, he felt that even his vitality and spirit were being absorbed by Mu Tianchen.

He immediately panicked. What was happening?

Before he could react, an overwhelming wave of weakness surged into his heart.

At that moment, his vision suddenly went black, and he felt as though he were about to faint.

Before collapsing, he triggered the alarm inside the Awakening Room.

As the alarm blared, the entire Spirit Pagoda descended into chaos.

"What happened? Who triggered the alarm?!"

"Damn it! How did you people learn the Spirit Pagoda's rules? Don't you know the consequences of triggering an alarm carelessly?!"

The moment the alarm sounded, several people dressed in Spirit Pagoda uniforms appeared outside the Awakening Room.

It had to be said that the Spirit Pagoda worked incredibly efficiently. These staff members had arrived very quickly!

At their head was a middle-aged man around forty.

This middle-aged man's aura was extremely powerful.

At that moment, the middle-aged man glared around with eyes as large as bells, furiously trying to find the person who had triggered the alarm.

Several people dressed in Spirit Pagoda work uniforms stood behind him. Like the powerful middle-aged man, their gazes were searching in every direction.

"President, I triggered the alarm."

At that moment, the Spirit Master responsible for awakening Mu Tianchen's martial soul stood up, his face incomparably pale.

"Wang Yu? It was you? What happened to you?!"

The middle-aged man was instantly startled upon seeing Wang Yu.

What was this?

He had seen Wang Yu just half an hour ago, and Wang Yu had been perfectly fine then.

How had only half an hour passed, yet this fellow had lost dozens of pounds and turned into neither man nor ghost?

What exactly had happened?

"President, listen to me. This is what happened."

At that moment, Wang Yu forced his extremely weakened body to hold on as he spoke tearlessly to the president of Aolai City's Spirit Pagoda.

"It was this little fellow. He turned me into this."

Wang Yu then explained the situation to everyone.

"I was originally awakening this little fellow's martial soul, but his body was like a bottomless pit and devoured every last bit of my Soul Power."

"I wanted to pull away, but there seemed to be a powerful suction force on his body, dragging at me and preventing me from leaving."

"No, this... this has to be fake..."

"Awakening someone's martial soul can actually drain all of your Soul Power?"

Every Spirit Pagoda staff member present widened their eyes in disbelief.

They stared at Mu Tianchen.

What kind of situation was this?

Simply awakening a martial soul had directly drained all the Soul Power from a Soul Elder in his thirties?

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged president said with an incomparably solemn expression, "Now, I order everyone to immediately send Soul Power into this youth's body and help him awaken his martial soul. Immediately!!"

"Yes, President!"

No one present dared disobey the middle-aged president's orders.

For a time, the entire Awakening Room filled with all kinds of martial souls—beast martial souls such as Thorn Boar, Berserk Rhino, and Great Strength Gorilla, as well as a tool martial soul, the Nine-Ring Broadsword!

However, things did not develop as expected.

A powerful aura around Mu Tianchen was continuously erupting.

Moreover, the middle-aged president could vaguely sense strands of platinum dragon scales continuously covering Mu Tianchen's body, making him wary.

"Ah—"

Boom! Suddenly, at that moment, a platinum dragon violently shot skyward from Mu Tianchen's body. Its enormous form and abyssal, prison-like terrifying aura crushed everyone until they could barely breathe.

Roar— A high-pitched dragon's cry resounded through the heavens. Under everyone's shocked gazes, the platinum dragon domineeringly swung its tail.

With a boom, the platinum dragon directly sent everyone present flying, except for the middle-aged president.

No one could react in time. They all fell to the ground, crying out in misery.

At the instant the dragon's attack arrived, the middle-aged president instantly unleashed his martial soul and condensed a fiery red Soul Power barrier before himself, blocking the Divine Dragon's Tail Swing.

However, blocking it was not easy. The platinum dragon's attack was too powerful; it nearly overwhelmed even this top-tier expert at the level of a Six-Ring Soul Emperor.

"Everyone, listen up! Immediately activate the defensive soul-guidance formation. No matter what, we must stop this dragon phantom! Also, immediately record all data from the scene, especially the intensity of the energy erupting from that youth!"

After issuing his orders, he looked at the platinum dragon phantom in the sky, his expression filled with shock.

"This is!"
