Asura Demon Sword, God-Given Soul Power

Because the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Master Ning Fengzhi's only daughter, Ning Rongrong, and Chen Xin's grandson were both participating in the martial soul awakening, Gu Rong personally took on the heavy responsibility of awakening the martial souls for the many children of age.

However, it was precisely because of Gu Rong's somewhat eccentric appearance and status that the children were uncharacteristically obedient; even those whose innate soul power was less than ideal dared not cry or make a scene, and could only leave quietly.

Time ticked away, and soon, only a handful of children remained in the line waiting to awaken their martial souls.

Among all the children who had already awakened their souls, the highest innate soul power was only level seven, and even Ning Fengzhi's youngest son had only reached level six.

While this left Ning Fengzhi feeling disappointed, he could not help but pin his hopes on Ning Rongrong.

There were few people left, and the vast majority of them wore nervous expressions; only Ning Rongrong remained as confident as ever, showing not the slightest hint of anxiety.

Not only was she not nervous, but she even took the initiative to squeeze in beside Yu Tianjue, her face full of confident smiles.

"Brother Tianjue, my innate soul power will definitely be higher than all of theirs!"

Hearing this, Yu Tianjue nodded slightly but did not say anything more.

Soon, it was Ning Rongrong's turn.

Yu Tianjue watched as Ning Rongrong walked into the awakening array without a trace of stage fright.

Immediately after, a brilliant light enveloped her small figure, and for the first time in history, Gu Rong's voice sounded genuinely excited.

"Martial soul: Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda! Innate soul power... level nine!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Ning Fengzhi visibly let out a sigh of relief, an expression of excitement immediately appearing on his face.

As the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he had only possessed level eight innate soul power, yet his daughter had reached level nine!

Level nine innate soul power was absolutely top-tier talent for a support-type soul master, something extremely rare in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for hundreds of years. Without a moment's hesitation, Ning Fengzhi decided in his heart that Ning Rongrong would be his successor.

It was simply because his sons' talents were truly lackluster; among all of them, the highest innate soul power was only level seven, which could not compare to Ning Rongrong's level nine.

Next, only Uncle Chen's grandson remained... Ning Fengzhi felt a glimmer of anticipation as he looked at Tianjue, who was standing at the very end of the line.

Watching Ning Rongrong wave at him with a beaming smile, Yu Tianjue took a deep breath and stepped into the awakening array.

"Brother Tianjue, good luck!"

Ning Rongrong clenched her small fists to cheer Yu Tianjue on.

Soon, golden specks of light drifted out from the awakening array and fell into Yu Tianjue's body.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, a dark red longsword suddenly manifested!

Accompanying the appearance of this sword was a cold, biting killing intent that even Gu Rong, who was presiding over the ceremony, couldn't help but feel shocked by!

"Uncle Chen, this martial soul..."

The expression on Chen Xin's face froze—he had thought it was a foregone conclusion that Tianjue would awaken the Seven Kill Sword and inherit his mantle, but he hadn't expected... Tianjue's martial soul had mutated!

And it was a beneficial mutation!

The killing intent radiating from this sword... far surpassed the Seven Kill Sword!

The next instant, the crystal ball used to test soul power suddenly burst into a dazzling light.

"Innate full soul power!"

"No... it's more than just innate full soul power!"

Yu Tianjue could clearly feel a wisp of energy, imperceptible to anyone else, suddenly surge into his body. This energy quickly turned into a warm current, and the soul power within him seemed to... surge outward once more!

Following Gu Rong's exclamation, the crystal ball shattered with a "crack."

[You have awakened the god-level martial soul: Asura Demon Sword. You have received the Asura God's divine gift, and your innate soul power level has reached level twenty.]

[After your martial soul awakened, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect placed great importance on you. They did not rashly take you to hunt for soul rings, but instead allowed you to continue your cultivation while spending lavishly to purchase many treasures to strengthen your physique.]

[It was not until Ning Rongrong cultivated her soul power to level ten that you were led by the trio of Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong to hunt for soul rings.]

[After being tempered by various physical-enhancing treasures during this period, your physical fitness has improved by a significant margin. Your first soul ring was a soul beast nearly eight hundred years old, exceeding the optimal limit, and your second soul ring broke through the thousand-year barrier, granting you a thousand-year second ring.]

[The soul power gained from absorbing two soul rings, combined with your cultivation prior to obtaining them, brought your soul power level to twenty-four.]

[The massive gap left Ning Rongrong unwilling to fall so far behind you, which in turn gave her the motivation to cultivate diligently. Upon returning to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Rongrong began to train arduously.]

[You did not pay much attention to this, simply following your grandfather Chen Xin's requirements to practice your swordsmanship and cultivate your soul power every day.]

[However, every time you practiced your sword, a small figure would always be by your side. Gradually, you grew accustomed to Ning Rongrong's company. Although at times Ning Rongrong still seemed quite childish in your eyes, the two of you became very close friends.]

[Seeing the two of you so close, Ning Fengzhi was secretly delighted. To Ning Fengzhi, your talent was visibly immense; although you were Chen Xin's grandson and naturally belonged to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's camp, Ning Fengzhi still wanted to make you even closer to the sect.]

[After discussions between Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin, your marriage to Ning Rongrong was finalized.]

[Ning Rongrong had no objections to this; on the contrary, she seemed quite overjoyed. Ever since she first saw you practicing your sword, Ning Rongrong had considered you unique. Coupled with your outstanding talent and handsome appearance, Ning Rongrong had long since fallen for you, and her eyes held only you, with no room for anyone else.]

[You also readily agreed to this marriage. Thus, the relationship between you and Ning Rongrong became even more intimate.]

[Five and a half years passed in the blink of an eye. You successfully became a Soul Ancestor, your soul power reaching level forty-two, and your fourth soul ring was an unprecedented ten-thousand-year soul ring. Although Ning Rongrong had become exceptionally diligent under your prodding, due to her talent, she only reached level twenty-nine after five and a half years.]

[Frustrated by her inability to break through to level thirty, Ning Rongrong decided to sneak out of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, which coincided with your own decision to venture out for experience after breaking through level forty. Thus, you traveled together, leaving the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect under the cover of night.]

[In reality, however, the actions of the two of you did not escape the expectations of Gu Rong, Chen Xin, and Ning Fengzhi. They watched as you both left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.]
