Kong Bo: I'm the God of Three Moons, Is This for Real?

"Kong Bo pays his respects to Great-Grandfather, Great-Grandfather-in-law, Crown Prince, and all the seniors present." Kong Bo bowed to the group before stepping to the side of Kong Deming.

"Kong Bo, there is no need for such formality." Xu Tianran, who sat in his wheelchair, looked toward Kong Bo with a warm smile. "I am not an outsider; by lineage, I am your distant cousin. Awaken a powerful Martial Soul, and your cousin will surely reward you handsomely!"

I don't buy that for a second. "No need for formality"—you're a real piece of work, Kong Bo thought to himself. He knew exactly what kind of man Xu Tianran was, especially regarding his greatest weakness—his inability to have children—and his collusion with the Holy Spirit Cult.

"Crown Prince, you... you are too kind." Kong Bo bowed again, maintaining a respectful demeanor. "The awakening of a Martial Soul is entirely up to the heavens. I only hope I won't be left with any regrets. My Great-Grandfather told me he isn't afraid of me being incapable; he's only afraid of me trying to build a career!"

"Hahahaha!" Xu Tianran laughed at this. "Cousin, you are being far too modest. I still believe you will awaken a powerful Martial Soul and bring glory to our Sun Moon Empire."

"Hmph, Big Brother, if you believe in this blockhead, you might as well believe in me." Standing beside Xu Tianran's wheelchair was not only a stunning beauty but also a young girl; it was she who had just spoken.

This young girl was Xu Tianran's younger sister, Xu Tianzhen. She had met Kong Bo a few times, but she deeply disliked his personality. In her own words, "What's so good about Kong Bo? He's like a block of wood, never saying a word, just fiddling with things I can't understand, and the things he draws look like ghost runes."

"Tianzhen!" Xu Tianran glared at his sister before bowing respectfully to Kong Deming. "Elder Kong, my sister is young. Please forgive her on my behalf."

Hmph, and calling you 'Cousin' is only because of my Great-Grandfather's face, Kong Bo thought.

"Oh, it is of no consequence." Kong Deming waved his hand. "Very well, the time has come. Kong Bo, your Great-Grandfather will awaken your Martial Soul personally."

"Thank you, Great-Grandfather," Kong Bo said.

Kong Deming placed a crystal ball in front of Kong Bo. "Come, child, just place your hands on the crystal ball."

"Yes, Grandfather." Kong Bo did as instructed, pressing his hands against the crystal ball, and Kong Deming began to channel his Soul Power into him.

"Hmm?" Kong Deming channeled a burst of Soul Power, only to find that Kong Bo showed no reaction at all. "Strange. When I awakened my own Martial Soul, I channeled this much power and my Silver Moon Martial Soul manifested. What about Bo'er's? Even a first-rank innate Soul Master should have a Martial Soul. I shall channel some more."

Kong Deming channeled more Soul Power into Kong Bo, but there was still no response. "Elder Kong, what is happening? Is something wrong? Even an ordinary person should have a Martial Soul, should they not?" Xu Tianran asked.

"It is indeed very strange," Kong Deming said. He then asked Kong Bo, "Bo'er, I am channeling Soul Power into you—do you feel anything? I do not sense any dissipation of the energy, which means you must be absorbing it. What do you feel?"

"Great-Grandfather, I feel nothing," Kong Bo replied.

"I will try again," Kong Deming said, continuing to channel his energy. "Kong Bo, tell me if you cannot bear it."

"Understood, Great-Grandfather," Kong Bo said.

Kong Deming continued to pour his Soul Power into Kong Bo. He had already used nearly a third of his reserves when a powerful fluctuation erupted from Kong Bo's body. A formidable pressure, capable of making even a Limit Douluo feel a sense of danger, swept through the living room. Immediately after, a red moon flew out from within Kong Bo's body and began to circle him, filling the room with a scorching heat.

"A fire-attribute Moon Martial Soul? How rare," Ye Yulin remarked.

Next, a second moon flew out from Kong Bo's body. This one was silver-white, and as it emerged, a biting, frigid wind swept through the room.

"Another moon, this one with an ice attribute?" Xu Tianran was puzzled. "Elder Ye, you are highly learned. What do you make of this?"

"I have no idea," Ye Yulin shook his head. "An ice-attribute moon—what could this be?"

After the silver-white moon appeared, a third, light-blue moon manifested. As it emerged, the tea in the room began to ripple, and the teacups shattered. If Kong Bo could see it, he would know that this moon governed gravity.

"Such powerful energy," Jing Hongchen praised.

"Great-Grandfather." Jing Hongchen had brought the Hongchen siblings with him, and Xiao Hongchen asked a question, "Did Brother Kong Bo awaken three Martial Souls?"

"No," Jing Hongchen shook his head. "It is a single Martial Soul, but a very powerful one. A single Martial Soul with three moons—it must have mutated in a powerful direction."

If Kong Bo could have seen the process of his own awakening, he would have realized his Martial Soul was the Three Moons of Teyvat: the Red Moon, the Eternal Moon, and the Frost Moon.

Once the three lunar phantoms appeared, they circled around Kong Bo, the intense energy fluctuations sweeping through the room before they soared high into the sky.

"Good, excellent!" Kong Deming had used a third of his own Soul Power to help Kong Bo awaken his soul, but Kong Bo had not disappointed him. Awakening such a powerful Martial Soul made Kong Deming immensely happy. The energy fluctuations generated the moment all three moons flew out were enough to move even him. As long as Kong Bo cultivated diligently, he would undoubtedly become a peerless powerhouse of his generation.

"Indeed," Ye Yulin agreed. "I never expected Bo'er to awaken such a powerful Martial Soul. The moment it awakened, even I felt a hint of shock. The sheer power inherent to the Martial Soul itself is truly astonishing."

"It is indeed," Jing Hongchen said. "Isn't Shrek Academy proud of their powerful Soul Masters? Now that we have a child with such a powerful Martial Soul, our Sun Moon Empire will surely see a revival!"

"Indeed," Kong Deming said. He let go of Kong Bo, who then collapsed into his arms as if drained of all strength.

"Do not worry." Kong Deming checked Kong Bo's breath to reassure the worried guests, as well as Kong Bo's father, Kong Yi, and Ye Fanghua. "Bo'er is merely exhausted and fainted because the awakening of his Martial Soul was too powerful. Just take him back to rest."
