"Dragon soul protecting its master?"

The middle-aged chairman looked at the platinum-white dragon coiled behind Mu Tianchen, and those four words involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

Legend had it that some peerless geniuses would be protected by true dragons during their awakening. It seemed this youth was one of those legendary talents.

He just did not know what kind of Martial Soul this youth would awaken.

At that moment, even he began to look forward to it.

The Soul Guidance Defensive Array had already activated. Inside the Awakening Room, a massive blue energy barrier directly enveloped Mu Tianchen, preventing the dragon phantom behind him from attacking them again.

After attempting to attack the blue energy barrier several times, the platinum-white dragon stopped attacking them. Instead, it circled Mu Tianchen and began guarding him.

Seeing this, everyone finally let out a sigh of relief. Even now, they were still shocked by the power of that platinum-white dragon phantom.

Although the platinum-white dragon phantom had suddenly charged out and caught them off guard, that was enough to show just how powerful it was.

After confirming that the platinum-white dragon phantom on Mu Tianchen would not erupt again, the middle-aged chairman did not hesitate and gave another order.

He had all the Spirit Pagoda staff present inject Soul Power into Mu Tianchen once more to help him complete his Martial Soul awakening.

This time, it was finally uneventful.

With everyone working together, Mu Tianchen's Martial Soul finally awakened completely.

Roar—

The platinum-white dragon that had originally coiled behind Mu Tianchen absorbed one-third of everyone's Soul Power, fully revealing its true form before unleashing a dragon's roar as imposing as mountains.

The platinum-white dragon's figure radiated a pressure as mighty as a mountain range, weighing down on everyone's hearts.

"Holy Dragon of Light?"

The middle-aged chairman raised his brows. Looking at the platinum-white dragon soaring through the air, he immediately began searching through the powerful dragon-type Martial Souls that had appeared in the past.

Before long, the words Holy Dragon of Light surfaced in his mind.

What else could this dragon be, more than twenty meters long, platinum-white all over, with two enormous dragon horns on its head and a sacred aura emanating from its entire body, if not the Holy Dragon of Light?

According to ancient records, the Holy Dragon of Light was an exceedingly rare and incredibly powerful legendary Martial Soul, one that existed only in legends.

Legend said that the Holy Dragon of Light had mutated from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. It was a supreme dragon that controlled the Light Attribute, the existence closest in attribute to the Radiant Dragon King.

"Chairman, what Martial Soul is that?"

At that moment, the other staff members in the Awakening Room approached one after another as they looked at the platinum-white dragon circling Mu Tianchen.

Every one of them stared at the platinum-white dragon hovering in midair in utter shock.

Could this platinum-white dragon be that youth's Martial Soul?

Facing the questioning Spirit Pagoda staff, the middle-aged chairman did not tell them that it was the Holy Dragon of Light.

The implications were simply too great.

He then gave an order: everyone present was forbidden from speaking of what had happened today. Anyone who dared leak it would face severe punishment from him!

Before long, only he and Mu Tianchen remained in the Awakening Room.

It was at that moment that Mu Tianchen also awakened from the daze of his Martial Soul awakening.

Although he had kept his eyes closed the entire time, he could still sense what had happened. Everything that had just occurred had truly exceeded his expectations.

He had never imagined that simply awakening a Martial Soul would cause such a huge commotion. It had startled him as well.

"Little brother, congratulations. You have successfully awakened your Martial Soul."

The middle-aged chairman smiled at Mu Tianchen.

After so many twists and turns, this little fellow's Martial Soul had finally awakened—and it was such a powerful Martial Soul at that. It was truly astonishing.

"I successfully awakened my Martial Soul?"

Upon hearing the middle-aged chairman's words, Mu Tianchen immediately looked behind himself.

At that moment, the enormous platinum-white dragon's eyes met his own.

His hand involuntarily reached out to touch the platinum-white dragon phantom. It felt incomparably smooth beneath his fingers, and every scale on its body radiated sacred light.

The instant he touched the platinum-white dragon phantom, the dragon's name appeared in his mind.

Holy Dragon of Light.

Mu Tianchen froze slightly. His Martial Soul was actually the Holy Dragon of Light?

Of course, he knew of the renowned Holy Dragon of Light Martial Soul.

Back in the first era, the Holy Dragon of Light Martial Soul had not yet appeared. It had only appeared as a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, though that one seemed to be called the Golden Holy Dragon and was rather controversial.

It was not until the second era that the Holy Dragon of Light appeared as Mu En's Martial Soul.

During the second era, Mu En, who possessed the Holy Dragon of Light Martial Soul, and Long Xiaoyao, who possessed the Dark Holy Dragon Martial Soul, were known as the two poles of the Soul Master world. Both were supreme powerhouses at the Limit Douluo realm.

For some reason, the instant Mu Tianchen thought of the name Dark Holy Dragon, a surge of energy filled with the Dark Attribute suddenly erupted within his body.

Although that dark energy quickly vanished beneath the impact of the Holy Dragon of Light, Mu Tianchen still noticed it.

"No, what is going on? Why is there dark energy inside my body?!"

Mu Tianchen was startled. Why was there another force within his body, and one completely opposite to his Light Attribute power at that?

He had awakened the Holy Dragon of Light Martial Soul. The Holy Dragon of Light possessed the ultimate Light Attribute, so how could Dark Attribute energy appear inside his body?

Afraid that something might be wrong with his body, Mu Tianchen hurriedly examined himself.

However, no matter how he investigated, he could not detect any trace of that dark energy. His body was completely normal, filled from head to toe with powerful Light Attribute energy.

"No, what exactly is happening?"

Feeling all these changes, Mu Tianchen began to panic. Hidden dark energy inside his body was no joke. It could very well cause his body to explode!

"Little brother, what is wrong?"

Seeing Mu Tianchen's panicked expression, the middle-aged chairman could not help asking.

He frowned and guessed, Could this youth have gone mad from awakening such a powerful Martial Soul?

That should not be possible!

Shaking his head, the middle-aged chairman cast aside that unrealistic thought. He then looked at Mu Tianchen and said with a smile, "Little brother, congratulations on awakening such a powerful Martial Soul."

"Your Martial Soul is called the Holy Dragon of Light. It is an exceptionally powerful dragon-type Martial Soul, the ultimate manifestation of light."

"This kind of Martial Soul has appeared only a few times in history, but every person who awakened it was a super genius who shook the world."

"Basically, nearly every person with this Martial Soul cultivated to the rank of a ninety-ninth-level Limit Douluo."

Mu Tianchen sighed upon hearing that. In truth, even without the middle-aged chairman telling him, he knew about the Holy Dragon of Light Martial Soul. In many cases, it appeared as a legendary Martial Soul, a symbol of power.

Before this, he had been somewhat worried that he might not awaken a powerful Martial Soul.

But now that he had awakened the powerful Holy Dragon of Light Martial Soul, the weight in his heart was finally lifted.

Just as the middle-aged chairman had said, those who possessed the Holy Dragon of Light Martial Soul had basically all cultivated to the Limit Douluo realm.

Some had even relied on the Holy Dragon of Light Martial Soul to cultivate to the Quasi-God realm, only one step away from becoming gods.

The middle-aged chairman smiled at Mu Tianchen. "Little brother, your Martial Soul awakening is complete. Now, only your Innate Soul Power remains untested. Would you like to test it?"

At that moment, the middle-aged chairman took out a blue crystal ball and spoke to Mu Tianchen with a smile.

"Mm, no problem."

Mu Tianchen felt helpless. Although he was still worried about whether the dark energy in his body would affect him, he could only put the matter aside for now.

Perhaps that dark energy would be completely extinguished under the suppression of the light energy?

After all, light and darkness countered each other!

Then, under the middle-aged chairman's guidance, he placed his hand on the blue crystal ball. In an instant, golden light flooded the entire Awakening Room.

The middle-aged chairman's expression changed drastically, and he cried out, "Innate Full Soul Power?"

That was right. The Soul Power displayed by the crystal ball at that moment was precisely Mu Tianchen's Innate Full Soul Power.

Level ten Soul Power!

However, the middle-aged chairman was only slightly shocked before recovering. This youth had awakened such a powerful Martial Soul as the Holy Dragon of Light, so possessing Innate Full Soul Power was actually normal.

What made the middle-aged chairman frown was that the testing process had been too fast. Not even a second had passed before the blue crystal ball in his hand was filled.

The speed at which the Soul Power filled it was unexpectedly fast!

It was much faster than the filling speed of many others with Innate Full Soul Power.

"Chairman, what level is my Innate Soul Power?"

Seeing this, Mu Tianchen's breathing became hurried. He asked anxiously, his entire body tense.

He had seen the golden light fill the whole Awakening Room. Although he did not know exactly what level his Innate Soul Power was—

One thing was certain: his Innate Soul Power was definitely not low!

Could it be Innate Full Soul Power?

Yet after hearing him, the middle-aged chairman coughed.

He said somewhat awkwardly, "Little brother, this crystal ball has fallen into disrepair over the years, so its readings are inaccurate. I will bring out a new one and test you again. What do you think?"

"Uh... all right."

Mu Tianchen paused. Although he did not know what had happened, he did not think too much about it. Since the chairman wanted to test his Innate Soul Power again, then they would test it again.

"Good. Little brother, please wait a moment."

The middle-aged chairman sighed in relief. It seemed this youth had not suspected an issue with the test, saving him the trouble of explaining.

He called someone over and instructed him to fetch another crystal ball for testing Innate Soul Power.

The Spirit Pagoda staff worked efficiently. Before long, a new crystal ball was brought over, and it was blue as well.

However, this crystal ball was slightly larger than the previous one, and the patterns on its surface were more intricate. Clearly, this crystal ball was of a higher grade.

Under the middle-aged chairman's guidance, Mu Tianchen underwent the test again.

This time, his Soul Power still filled the crystal ball, and golden light once again flooded the entire Awakening Room.

Although it was filled again, Mu Tianchen's Soul Power filled it slightly more slowly this time.

At that moment, the middle-aged chairman finally learned Mu Tianchen's true Innate Soul Power. He then spoke in an incomparably emotional tone:

"Little brother, this time, I truly must congratulate you."

"You have not only awakened a powerful Martial Soul, but you also possess Innate Full Soul Power!"

"Your future is destined to be among the stars and the sea!"

Star Luo Continent, Dragon Valley.

As Mu Tianchen successfully awakened the Holy Dragon of Light Martial Soul, the sleeping dragon soul of the Radiant Dragon King slowly opened his eyes. A flash of golden light passed through them, after which his eyes fell silent once more.
