The golden monkey raised his mighty staff, sweeping clean the dust across ten thousand miles beneath the jade heavens.
Today, we cheered for Great Sage Sun, for the demon fog had returned once more.
Douluo Continent, Shrek City!
"Child, step forward."
"Six years after transmigrating, was it finally my turn to awaken my martial soul?"
Hearing the old man ahead of him speak, Qiangu Qitian could not help but fall into a daze.
As a transmigrator, he had died six years ago after an unfortunate encounter with a truck, then accidentally arrived in this world.
He had been born into the Qiangu Clan, a reclusive family on the verge of collapse. Not long after his birth, his parents had died while pursuing Evil Soul Masters. Just as he was about to become an orphan and face a disastrous beginning—
He had luckily been found and adopted by his distant uncle, Wang Yan, who brought him to Shrek City.
Time had passed in the blink of an eye, and it was finally time for him to awaken his martial soul.
Qiangu Qitian had long known what martial soul he was about to awaken.
The Qiangu Clan traced its lineage back to Qian Jun Douluo, the Sixth Worshipper of Spirit Hall ten thousand years ago. Their inherited martial soul was the Coiling Dragon Staff.
The Coiling Dragon Staff was a special martial soul that fell somewhere between high-tier and super-tier. When awakening it, if a Dragon Soul was attached to the staff, its quality could reach the level of a super martial soul. If it was merely an ordinary Coiling Dragon Staff, its quality would only be high-tier.
In a sense, awakening the Coiling Dragon Staff was a second gamble.
With good luck, one could awaken a Coiling Dragon Staff bearing a Dragon Soul. As long as one did not die prematurely, one would be destined to rise above others and become one of the continent's foremost powerhouses.
On the other hand, if the awakened Coiling Dragon Staff had no Dragon Soul attached, one would basically end up at Wang Yan's level. One's Innate Soul Power would not exceed rank six, and one would be fated never to break through to Title Douluo. Even reaching Spirit Douluo would be difficult.
According to Wang Yan, the Qiangu Clan had declined entirely because no one had awakened a Coiling Dragon Staff with an attached Dragon Soul for dozens of generations. This left Qiangu Qitian feeling somewhat heavyhearted.
Having come to Douluo Continent, and to the era of Douluo II at that, if he lacked powerful talent from the very beginning, then under the gaze of a certain Sea God, it would be nearly impossible for him to rise. After all, not everyone was like Huo Yuhao, who could walk outside and immediately encounter a hundred-thousand-year soul beast offering itself as a sacrifice.
"Child, close your eyes. Feel the martial soul within your body carefully, and try to draw it out."
Suppressing the agitation in his heart, Qiangu Qitian listened to the voice by his ear, immediately closed his eyes, and tried to sense the changes in his body as he began guiding his martial soul outward.
There was no use thinking too much. Once his martial soul awakened, everything would be decided. He only hoped he would not mutate a useless martial soul like Yu Xiaogang.
Even awakening an ordinary Coiling Dragon Staff would be far better than mutating some useless martial soul without any Soul Power.
After all, on Douluo Continent, only by becoming a soul master could one possibly take control of one's own fate. If one was merely an ordinary person without even Soul Power, one might be eaten clean by an Evil Soul Master at any moment.
In the era of Douluo I ten thousand years ago, ordinary people still had a path to survival. But in the era of Douluo II, Evil Soul Masters ran rampant, and ordinary people could lose their lives at any time.
As for why Evil Soul Masters had suddenly become so rampant, that had to do with the side effects caused when a certain pure and immaculate Sea God destroyed the Evil Slaughter City.
Just as his thoughts wandered, Qiangu Qitian absorbed a large amount of Soul Power. He felt as though his entire body were soaking in a hot spring, warm and comfortable. At the same time, he felt as though he were soaring freely through the heavens, every inch of him filled with exhilaration.
Suddenly, perhaps it was merely an illusion, but Qiangu Qitian vaguely saw a hundred-meter divine dragon overflowing with righteous energy. Not a trace of viciousness could be found on its body. It seemed to blend with heaven and earth itself, and merely seeing it inspired reverence.
"Is that the Break Evil Dragon?"
The sight before him made Qiangu Qitian murmur to himself.
From what he knew, the Break Evil Dragon was an extraordinarily special kind of dragon!
It was an anomaly among dragons, born and nurtured by heaven and earth, condensed from the righteous energy between them, and beyond the control of the Dragon God!
Though it was not truly a dragon, it possessed the ability to break through all Evil.
The Break Evil Dragon could be called an exceptionally special existence.
When the Dragon Soul of a Break Evil Dragon was attached to the Coiling Dragon Staff, it would also provide a significant boost in battle. No matter how powerful the enemy, as long as one maintained an Indomitable spirit, one could unleash strength far beyond one's own.
"Come forth, Coiling Dragon Staff!"
When the Break Evil Dragon before his eyes vanished, Qiangu Qitian abruptly opened his eyes. The next moment, a long staff appeared directly in his hand!
The instant the staff appeared, a dragon's roar faintly echoed between heaven and earth!
The staff was entirely dark brown. Golden dragon-shaped engravings coiled around the surfaces of both ends, and it felt slightly cool in his grip. A will to Battle Heaven Move Earth suddenly rose within Qiangu Qitian's heart.
So this was my martial soul—the finest Coiling Dragon Staff, bearing the Break Evil Dragon!
At the site of the martial soul awakening, dragon aura surged mightily as dragon roars rang out one after another!
"Is that a Coiling Dragon Staff?" The one helping Qiangu Qitian awaken his martial soul was a teacher from Shrek's Outer Academy. Looking at Qiangu Qitian's martial soul, he could not help but reveal a puzzled expression.
As a fellow Outer Academy teacher, he had seen Wang Yan's Coiling Dragon Staff before. It was merely an ordinary iron staff carved with dragon patterns, at most a high-tier martial soul. It possessed nothing like Qiangu Qitian's imposing might.
Yet Qiangu Qitian's Coiling Dragon Staff was completely different from Wang Yan's. Not only was its presence incredibly powerful, but it also emanated an Indomitable conviction!
At this level, it was undoubtedly a super martial soul!
"Child, is your martial soul the Coiling Dragon Staff?"
Looking at the Coiling Dragon Staff in Qiangu Qitian's hand, the elderly man responsible for awakening martial souls immediately asked with curiosity.
It was clearly identical to Wang Yan's Coiling Dragon Staff, yet its might was worlds apart. Based on his experience, he felt certain that the child before him had undergone a martial soul mutation.
And it was definitely a beneficial mutation!
"Grandpa, the martial soul I awakened is indeed the Coiling Dragon Staff!"
"So it really is the Coiling Dragon Staff. It seems your luck is quite good. Our Shrek will have another little genius!"
"Come, test your Soul Power!"
Sensing the pressure emanating from the Coiling Dragon Staff in Qiangu Qitian's hand, the old man could not help but smile kindly. He immediately extended his hand and passed a blue crystal ball to Qiangu Qitian.
The next moment!
As Qiangu Qitian placed his hand on the crystal ball, the entire ball instantly burst with incomparably dazzling light.
Golden radiance completely illuminated the crystal ball, leaving not the slightest gap unfilled.
Seeing the brilliant light released by the crystal ball, the old man's eyes widened as an expression of utter shock appeared on his face!
This was Innate Full Soul Power!
