So angry...

Looking at the white-haired woman, fury welled up in Gu You's heart, but he did not understand why he was angry.

His consciousness sank, and darkness fell before his eyes.

"Why? Why?!"

"Dragon God, one day, you will pay the price for your arrogance!"

Two different voices rang beside his ears.

"Thou art an avenger. Knowest thou?"

A line of words appeared before him in the darkness.

Gu You was stunned. The words vanished, changing into a universe filled with stars.

Amid the starry sky, an ultimate aura of destruction suddenly soared upward. A purple dragon nearly a thousand zhang long roared as it tore through space and appeared.

Everything in the starry sky was annihilated completely by the destructive aura it emitted alone.

And in the depths of the starry sky, dazzling nine-colored lights that no one could see through lit up one after another.

After the purple dragon came into contact with the nine-colored light, blood and flesh flew everywhere, scattering across heaven and earth.

In the end, the dragon's flesh and blood dispersed, and its skeleton was drawn into the torn space, vanishing to parts unknown.

But the nine-colored light did not disappear. It seemed to notice Gu You, and a ray of colored light enveloped him.

"Ah—!"

In the outside world, streams of unknown destructive aura surged from Gu You's forehead and spread through the awakening room.

The room changed abruptly. Hearing Gu You's scream, the Spirit Transmitter's face instantly turned pale.

What on earth was going on with this child?

Even though the Spirit Transmitter had seen plenty in his time, he was at a loss in this moment.

The only thing he could think of was to end Gu You's awakening ceremony.

Just as the Spirit Transmitter's figure flashed and he arrived at Gu You's side, preparing to forcibly end the awakening ceremony—

Buzz!

Accompanied by a powerful hum, dazzling multicolored light burst forth and enveloped the aura of destruction. Behind Gu You, the illusory form of a magnificent phoenix slowly condensed.

Nine-colored radiance flowed across the entire phantom. As its wings spread, green-gold aura surged around it, and a boundless aura of life bloomed.

So... so beautiful. Is this really a martial soul?

The Spirit Transmitter was stunned by the beauty of the phoenix phantom.

In all his years awakening martial souls, this was the first time he had seen a phoenix martial soul—and such a beautiful phoenix martial soul at that.

The martial soul awakening had succeeded, but Gu You's awakening ceremony had not yet ended. After the phoenix phantom condensed, the destructive aura enveloped by the dazzling light seeped out once more, condensing into another purple dragon shadow behind him.

The illusory dragon scales of the dragon shadow contracted. Its vertical purple pupils radiated a suffocating aura of destruction as it raised its dragon head high.

"Rooar—"

A low dragon roar came from within Gu You's body. Fine purple dragon-scale patterns surfaced across his skin, then quickly vanished.

"Purple... Purple Imperial Heaven-Extinguishing Dragon!"

The Spirit Transmitter was dumbfounded, his whole body going numb.

He might not recognize Gu You's phoenix martial soul, but he recognized the Purple Imperial Heaven-Extinguishing Dragon at a glance.

This was an inherited mutated martial soul from the history of the Sun Moon Empire. Supposedly, as long as a soul master awakened the Purple Imperial Heaven-Extinguishing Dragon and did not die midway through cultivation, they would be able to break through rank ninety and become a Titled Douluo!

The Spirit Transmitter stared fixedly at the purple dragon shadow behind Gu You. Its dragon head was held high, silently proclaiming its arrival.

And the phoenix phantom beside it was likewise unwilling to show weakness. Nine-colored radiance flowed around it, and its aura intertwined with the purple dragon shadow's destructive aura, yet they maintained a certain delicate balance.

"Purple Imperial Heaven-Extinguishing Dragon, phoenix... twin martial souls..."

The Spirit Transmitter felt as though his breathing was about to stop.

He had been a Spirit Transmitter for fifteen years, staying in a tiny place like Aolai City for an entire fifteen years.

In those fifteen years, if not ten thousand, then at least eight thousand children had undergone martial soul awakenings by his hand. Yet he could count the children who had awakened with innate soul power on one hand, let alone twin martial souls.

But now, right in front of him, a child who had come from an orphanage had actually awakened twin martial souls.

And one of them was the Purple Imperial Heaven-Extinguishing Dragon!

As for the second martial soul, there was even less need to mention it. Any martial soul connected to a phoenix could not possibly be low quality.

Just what was this child's identity? An orphan? But how could an orphan inherit the Purple Imperial Heaven-Extinguishing Dragon? Could he be a descendant of the Xu family? Then why would he be in Aolai City...

His heart surging with stormy waves, the Spirit Transmitter swallowed.

No, now was not the time to get tangled up in his origins.

Countless thoughts flashed rapidly through the Spirit Transmitter's mind, and then he grew delighted.

Wasn't this a performance achievement delivered straight to his door?

He had been scraping by in the Spirit Transmission Pagoda for fifteen years, and even now, he was still nothing more than a lowly Spirit Transmitter in the Aolai City branch.

People said Spirit Transmitters held lofty status, but he was still a Spirit Transmitter at the very bottom. Every awakening season, he had to run all over the surrounding towns and villages, exposed to wind and sun, while his treatment never improved.

As for why, it was obviously because he had no good results.

If he awakened seven or eight people with innate full soul power in a year, even headquarters would have a place for him.

But now, seven or eight innate full soul powers were no longer necessary. The value of the child before him simply could not be measured by innate full soul power.

If he brought him into the Spirit Transmission Pagoda, then his contribution as the awakener would be set in stone.

The Spirit Transmission Pagoda had never been stingy with rewards for Spirit Transmitters who discovered geniuses...

At that thought, the Spirit Transmitter could already see his road to wealth and status.

This lousy place, Aolai City—he truly did not want to stay here a moment longer!

Gu You slowly opened his eyes. His Golden Pupils shone brilliantly without fading. He felt as if he had had a very long dream, and the story in that dream had not been very friendly to him...

The purple dragon in the dream was undoubtedly the progenitor of lesser dragons, the Purple Imperial Heaven-Extinguishing Dragon. The nine-colored radiance should have been the power of the Dragon God, and it was very likely the battle in which the progenitor of lesser dragons had fallen back then.

But why had he seen those images?

And then there was that line: "Thou art the avenger. Dost thou know?"

He was an avenger, my ass!

Shaking his head, Gu You decided not to think too much about it for now. With his current strength, thinking about it so much would be useless anyway.

First, he would see what his martial soul was. Now was not the best time to understand the truth. Once he became strong, everything would be in his grasp.

He raised both hands and looked at them. He did not feel anything unusual. But when he turned to look back, Gu You froze.

He rubbed his eyes and confirmed that he had not seen wrong.

His martial soul was the Purple Imperial Heaven-Extinguishing Dragon, and there was also that phoenix...

When he thought of the phoenix, four words leaped into his mind: Creation Heaven Phoenix!

"Creation Heaven Phoenix? So that's your name..."

His thoughts returned, and Gu You frowned slightly before putting away his martial souls.

"Little friend, what's your name?"

The Spirit Transmitter could no longer wait. His face was filled with excitement, and he hurriedly leaned in.

He no longer cared whether they tested soul power first or not. Nonsense—with such a powerful martial soul, if it didn't have innate rank five or above, he'd eat it!

"Gu You."

Gu You sized up the Spirit Transmitter. He knew that with twin martial souls like this, the Spirit Transmitter would be excited.

Awakening the Purple Imperial Heaven-Extinguishing Dragon alone was already frightening enough. Regardless of its strength, its historical status was more than sufficient, not to mention that he was a dragon-phoenix twin.

"Gu You, good name. Your future is limitless!" The Spirit Transmitter nodded repeatedly. "Do you know what martial souls you awakened?"

"The Purple Imperial Heaven-Extinguishing Dragon, and the Creation Heaven Phoenix."

Gu You answered. There was no need to hide the names of his martial souls; he could say them openly, because he suspected that his Creation Heaven Phoenix martial soul was the first of its kind.
