Leugocyte.

His martial soul was actually Leugocyte.

Lu Chen could barely suppress the excitement in his heart.

He had considered many possibilities before, and worried about what would happen if he awakened an ordinary martial soul.

But he never imagined that what he would awaken would be the top monster from the Ultraman worldview, the cosmic devourer Leugocyte.

This was no longer just ordinarily powerful.

This thing, placed in the Douluo Continent, was an existence completely outside the established rules.

As long as the gods in the God Realm didn't personally intervene, Lu Chen could even confidently say.

"I won't eat beef anymore."

Thinking of this, the pressure that had accumulated in Lu Chen's heart due to his future finally eased a little.

He knew, of course, that a powerful martial soul didn't mean everything was settled.

But possessing a martial soul like Leugocyte at least proved he had the capital to truly change his destiny.

Soon, the scene in the Sea of Consciousness began to fade.

Lu Chen's consciousness completely returned to his body.

Inside the Awakening Temple, he slowly opened his eyes.

The moment he opened his eyes, the terrifying and sacred phantom above Spirit City also disappeared.

The sky returned to its original state.

In the Awakening Temple, the oppressive aura that made it almost impossible to breathe finally dissipated.

Everyone in the hall seemed to have broken free from some invisible restraint, and some children even had weak legs and fell to the ground.

Those children who had previously looked down on the orphan no longer dared to look at Lu Chen with the same eyes.

The red-robed bishop took a deep breath, trying to calm himself.

But the way he looked at Lu Chen had completely changed.

He had presided over many martial soul awakenings and seen many children with outstanding talent, but this was the first time he had seen someone like Lu Chen, whose awakening directly caused a phenomenon across Spirit City.

This was no longer something that could be explained by ordinary genius.

Just as the red-robed bishop was about to inquire about Lu Chen's situation, a ghostly figure suddenly appeared in the Awakening Temple without any warning.

The figure appeared too quickly and too suddenly.

It was as if there was nothing there one moment, and the next, he was standing in front of Lu Chen.

The red-robed bishop's expression changed, and he immediately recognized the newcomer.

He dared not show any disrespect and quickly bowed.

"Your Excellency Ghost Douluo!"

The other personnel from Spirit Hall in the temple also lowered their heads in salute, and the atmosphere instantly became more tense.

Lu Chen looked up and at the man standing in front of him.

The other party was ethereal, with a cold and strange aura, giving the impression of a true ghost.

Even without deliberately releasing his spirit power, he instinctively made people feel pressured.

Lu Chen looked at him, his heart stirring slightly.

So this was Ghost Douluo?

One of the people who, along with Chrysanthemum Douluo, brought him back from outside Spirit City when he was still an infant.

Lu Chen had only heard about Ghost Douluo from the Dean Grandma before and had never seen him up close.

Now that he saw him in person for the first time, he was much like he had imagined.

Mysterious, cold, and not quite like a normal living person.

Ghost Douluo did not exchange pleasantries with the red-robed bishop, nor did he explain anything to Lu Chen.

He simply looked down at Lu Chen.

The next moment, Lu Chen felt his neck tighten.

Ghost Douluo grabbed him by the scruff of his neck.

Lu Chen was startled, and before he could speak, he was lifted up by Ghost Douluo.

This feeling made him very speechless.

He had just awakened a god-level martial soul, and before he could properly savor his future as a powerhouse, he was picked up like a kitten.

However, Lu Chen did not struggle.

Ghost Douluo should not harm him, and besides, with his six-year-old body, struggling would be meaningless.

Ghost Douluo moved, and with Lu Chen, he quickly disappeared from the Awakening Temple.

A single sentence echoed in the hall.

"I'll take him to see the Pope."

As Ghost Douluo departed, a brief silence fell over the Awakening Temple.

Everyone exchanged glances, unsure of what to say for a moment.

Everything that had just happened was too fast, too astonishing.

A child from an orphanage, who had just completed his spirit awakening, had caused an anomaly that shook the entire Spirit City.

Immediately after, His Excellency Ghost Douluo personally appeared and took him away to see the Pope.

Everyone understood what this meant.

Some children didn't grasp the significance yet, but the adults and those from better backgrounds already realized that Lu Chen's future was likely beyond their wildest imaginations.

Some felt envy.

To be taken to see the Pope immediately after awakening, such treatment promised an immeasurable future.

Even if Lu Chen hadn't done anything yet, the commotion during his awakening today was enough to draw the attention of Spirit Hall's highest echelons.

Those children who had previously looked down on orphans now wore uncomfortable expressions.

They had initially thought that most children from orphanages would have waste spirits, and even if one occasionally awakened a Ghost Demon Vine with innate level five spirit power, it was only worth a passing glance.

But now, Lu Chen had shown them what true talent was.

In the face of such talent, their pride in their background and spirit power seemed utterly ridiculous.

The Cardinal stood frozen, no longer presiding over the awakenings.

He was still pondering the anomaly from earlier.

But before he could fully calm down, a golden figure suddenly appeared in the Awakening Temple.

Golden Crocodile Douluo had arrived.

His arrival made the Cardinal's slightly settled heart rise again.

If Ghost Douluo's aura was cold and eerie, then this golden figure before him was powerful and overbearing.

His golden armor was exceptionally striking, and he exuded an imposing presence that dared not be looked at directly.

The Cardinal tensed up again the moment he saw the other party.

What was happening today?

A child who had just awakened had managed to alarm so many important figures in succession.

The Cardinal immediately bowed, his attitude even more respectful than before.

Golden Crocodile Douluo didn't waste words with him, directly asking, "Where is the child?"

The Cardinal dared not conceal anything and quickly replied, "Your Excellency, that child has already been taken away by His Excellency Ghost Douluo."

Upon hearing this, Golden Crocodile Douluo's face darkened.

He had been ordered by Qian Daoliu to bring the child with a god-level spirit to the Consecration Hall, but he was still a step too late.

The child had already been taken by Gui Mei.

And whose subordinate Gui Mei was, was self-evident.

Golden Crocodile Douluo's expression was naturally unpleasant.

The Cardinal lowered his head, not daring to say another word.

Matters at this level were no longer something he, a Cardinal, could interfere with.

One was from the Pope Hall, and the other was from the Consecration Hall; he couldn't afford to offend either side.

Golden Crocodile Douluo snorted coldly and didn't press further.

The next moment, his figure also vanished from the Awakening Temple.

As Golden Crocodile Douluo departed, the Cardinal slowly straightened up and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

He had presided over spirit awakenings for so many years, yet he had never been as nervous as he was today.

First, the anomaly of a god-level spirit shook the entire Spirit City, then His Excellency Ghost Douluo personally arrived, and then even Golden Crocodile Douluo appeared.

The Cardinal couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Little ancestor..."

He could already foresee that the child named Lu Chen would, from this day forward, become a figure of concern for the entire high command of Spirit Hall.
