Martial Soul Dragon God, Starting with Max-Level Traits!

Douluo Continent, Aolai City.

This was a small coastal city near the East Sea. Though its development lagged behind, it was nonetheless a warm and cozy place.

Today was the annual Martial Soul Awakening Day.

In front of the Spirit Pagoda, even though it was only morning, a surging crowd had already blocked the area completely.

At this destiny-deciding moment, it was obvious no one was willing to fall behind the others.

I wonder if I...

Can reach the other shore in this lifetime?

Outside the crowd, a six-year-old boy came from afar, casually tossing a hammer back into his Soul Tool, and watched the scene before him with anticipation that was hard to conceal in his eyes.

His looks were striking, his refined face resembling nature's finest work, and his deep peach-blossom eyes—which were clearly more mature than those of his peers—held none of the childishness of this age.

His name was Jiang Yan, a transmigrator.

In his past life, because he stayed up all night chasing a novel by A Bai and dozed off while watching a truck, when he woke up again, he had already transmigrated to Douluo Continent, turning into an infant in swaddling clothes.

That very day, he was picked up and brought home by Jiang Luochuan, the branch pagoda master stationed in Aolai City, and usually went to learn blacksmithing from Mang Tian in the city. In the blink of an eye, the day of his Martial Soul awakening had arrived.

Good news, he transmigrated.

Although the restrictions in the era of Douluo III were greater than in the first two generations, at least there was no Tang Buddha to become a god, which could somewhat be counted as a good thing.

Bad news, while there was no Tang Buddha, the shadow of Tang Buddha was everywhere, with the inner Spirit Pagoda colluding with the Holy Spirit Cult, and the outer ten-thousand-year grand plan of the Tang Family...

This was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

In this special era, he only hoped he could live on well.

Douluo Continent is all about bloodlines, let's see what kind of Martial Soul an outsider like me can awaken.

Jiang Yan thought, his eyes carrying deep meaning.

If his Martial Soul's potential was relatively high, then all would be well, but even if it was not, he would still rely on his foreknowledge to carve out a way out for himself in this era.

Arriving in front of the Spirit Pagoda, the spirit emissary responsible for maintaining order had already noticed him, a friendly smile appearing on his face as he waved eagerly:

"Young Master Jiang, over here, the Pagoda Master has been waiting for a long time."

"Sorry for the trouble, Tao."

"Hey, Young Master, you're being too polite. Just call me Little Su. Please..."

"..."

Entering the Spirit Pagoda and walking through the luxuriously decorated lobby, Jiang Yan arrived at a special room.

Inside the room, the preparations needed for the Martial Soul awakening ceremony were already complete, and on the sofa beside it, a tall, white-haired old man sat boredly.

"Grandpa."

Jiang Yan walked forward a few steps, smiling.

"Yan'er has finally arrived."

"Come over quickly, you little fellow. Such an important moment as a Martial Soul awakening, and you actually still went to learn forging from that Mang Tian. How does being a blacksmith have any future in cultivation?"

"You are a genius destined to become a Douluo powerhouse."

Jiang Luochuan smiled kindly, though a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes as he couldn't help but scold him.

He had watched the little fellow grow up, and naturally knew how hard the other worked. Not to mention the daily exercise, ever since he went to Mang Tian's workshop a year ago, his focus on forging had been just like that.

Well, other auxiliary professions were one thing, but if it was forging—the auxiliary profession that relied most on accumulation—was it really worth it?

"A skill never weighs a person down."

"Daily practice doesn't take up much time anyway. In case I don't have much potential, I can still make a living relying on this."

Jiang Yan smiled and shook his head. Since this was the Dragon King era, how could he not make preparations for himself in advance?

In Aolai City, he didn't know many original characters. The future Son of Destiny, Tang Wulin, had not yet given him a chance to get acquainted.

Mang Tian, the only high-level blacksmith who was a tier-6 forging grandmaster and could speak on equal terms with the tier-8 forging master Mu Chen, could be considered one.

Perhaps due to the physical fitness brought by his rebirth, even without awakening a Martial Soul, he never felt any pressure from forging, and even felt somewhat adept at it.

Since that was the case, how could he not frantically farm favorability in front of Mang Tian and secure a chance to make connections in front of Mu Chen?

The identity of a teenage genius who had practiced forging bitterly since the age of five was at least still very useful in Eastsea City, where talent was scarce.

"Silly child, what kind of discouraging talk is that."

"Even if your talent isn't top-tier, you still have Grandpa to back you up. Besides... you will definitely succeed."

Jiang Luochuan shook his head, his rugged face also carrying a hint of expectation as he smiled and said.

"Let Grandpa see..."

"What kind of Martial Soul this little fellow of yours will actually have."

As he spoke, his aura suddenly soared.

Accompanied by a burst of dragon might, all parts of his body were filled with dragon scales, and a dark-green armored dragon body gradually materialized behind him, shining with a dim, gloomy light.

This was his Martial Soul, the Ironclad Nether Dragon.

And at his feet, eight spirit rings of varying colors lit up: purple, purple, purple, purple, purple, black, black, black, fully displaying his powerful cultivation.

An eighty-third-rank, eight-ring Soul Douluo!

The Aolai City branch pagoda was not one of the eighteen main pagodas, so logically it should not have had such a powerhouse stationed there, but he was different.

Nearly a hundred years old, and having once risked his life representing the Spirit Pagoda for the Blood God Legion, his cultivation had long since surpassed that of a Soul Douluo. If not for the injuries inside his body, he probably would never have stopped fighting.

So Grandpa, you...

...are a Soul Douluo?

Looking at the elder's mighty pressure, Jiang Yan could not help but be entranced for a moment. This was the first time he had ever seen the old man release his Martial Soul.

He had thought Grandpa was strong, but he had never expected him to be an eight-ring Soul Douluo. Judging by the lowest standard of a Two-Word Battle Armorist, wouldn't that make him...

Half a Titled Douluo?

Hiss, the Aolai City branch pagoda wasn't even one of the eighteen main pagodas, yet it could boast such a powerhouse.

"The weakest kind."

"So don't expect Grandpa to support you for the rest of your life. Grandpa is still counting on you to provide for my old bones and bury me when I die."

Jiang Luochuan gave him a deep look and said with a smile.

"Step onto the awakening array and give me your hand."

"Okay."

Jiang Yan complied, taking a step onto the awakening array disc.

He extended his right hand, and as it made contact with the former's Soul Power guidance, he closed his eyes tightly and attentively felt his own Martial Soul.

Gradually, his eyes lit up, and a holy golden light completely flooded his pupils, sending a chill down one's spine.

At that very moment, a pressure that surpassed Jiang Luochuan's erupted from within Jiang Yan, rolling over him so forcefully that the other man instinctively let go of his hand, almost making him breathless.

"This pressure is... Dragon Might?"

"Dragon Might with such a high status!"

Jiang Luochuan hurriedly channeled the Soul Power within his body, staring wide-eyed at the Jiang Yan before him.

Yet before he could react, a fiery red light suddenly appeared in the room, and an arrogant fire-attribute aura rushed over him. This was the Ultimate Fire!

"Such strong fire elemental energy!"

"Yan'er's Martial Soul bloodline is at least at the True Dragon level. A fire-elemental True Dragon...?"

Jiang Luochuan's expression froze. Shock flashed in his aged eyes, followed instantly by wild joy, and he could not help but speak.

Was this anything less than top-tier talent?

Ultimate attributes were peerless under heaven to begin with, let alone the meta-defining dragon bloodline. Coupled with the boy's lifelong diligence, wouldn't future Yan'er be Peerless?

"The vice pagoda master of headquarters is a fire-attribute Soul Master, and he hasn't taken on a disciple his whole life. Perhaps..."

Jiang Luochuan calmed his emotions and quietly waited for Jiang Yan to awaken while instinctively pondering in his heart.

Yet right at that moment, a bluish light flashing with holy radiance manifested once more beside Jiang Yan. Completely different from the scorching fire-attribute element before, this time it was biting ice!

"How is that possible! Both ice and fire elements... a twin... twin Martial Souls?"

Jiang Luochuan's expression tightened, his entire person seeming to blank out for a fraction of a second before he accelerated his breathing, unable to control his emotions for a moment.

Twin Martial Souls, ultimate ice and fire...

What kind of concept was this? This was an absolute posture of ultimate extremes!

The last dual-element genius was the Light-Dark Douluo who had emerged abruptly two hundred years ago, and that person was already the second powerhouse of Shrek. As for the future...

Yan'er might well become the second powerhouse of the Spirit Pagoda!

"This boy Yan'er..."

"Has the posture of the limits!"

Jiang Luochuan suppressed the agitation in his heart and said fervently.

In reality, however, he had clearly rejoiced too soon.

Because in his increasingly dazed eyes, following the scorching fire and the freezing ice, around Jiang Yan, lights representing another seven completely different energies manifested one by one:

Yellow! Cyan! Gold! Black! Silver! Green! Purple! Thick earth, nimble wind, holy light, profound darkness, illusory space, pure life, and terminal destruction.

Combined with the ice and fire from before, these were nine different energies—the most formidable nine elemental attributes in the world!

Until finally the light scattered, and beneath the surface of Jiang Yan's body, the nine colors fused into one. Behind him, a giant dragon flashing with a nine-colored body materialized out of thin air.

Faced with the mighty pressure, Jiang Luochuan only felt that he was so insignificant before the other. At that moment, even his body could not stop trembling.

"Yan'er, your Martial Soul is simply a miracle..."

"How can there be a dragon of nine elements between heaven and earth?"

Jiang Luochuan muttered involuntarily, his tone unable to conceal its complexity as he looked down at this cute little fellow.

Nine ultimate elements of the world! He recognized the first seven, but even he did not know what the last two were.

He considered himself a man who had seen the great world, but was Yan'er's martial soul truly something that ought to exist in this world?

What kind of status was this?

I'm afraid even a God Rank martial soul was nothing more than this!

"Mm..."

Jiang Yan smiled, saying nothing at the moment.

Do not look at how calm his expression still seemed at present; in truth, the excitement in his heart was not a whit less than the other person's.

It was even more than that!

Because the moment his martial soul was awakened, a sudden mechanical voice had already abruptly sounded in his mind:

[Six years have passed, the system has been activated]
[Congratulations to the host for transmigrating into the Legend of the Dragon King world, the Perfect Newcomer Growth System has been activated...]
[Congratulations on awakening the strongest martial soul in the world, the Dragon God]
[Being newly arrived, to show sincerity, a newcomer gift pack has been specially issued to you. Congratulations on obtaining five max-level entry effects--]
[Peerless Immortal Beauty (Color) Unbreakable Defense (Color) Heaven-Defying Comprehension (Color) Golden Branches and Jade Leaves (Color) Peerless (Color)]

"I seem..."

"To be about to become invincible?"

Looking at the system panel that only he could see, Jiang Yan's mood was very complicated.

Although he currently had no time to carefully ponder the system's abilities, he was abundantly clear in his heart what the concept of Peerless meant; presumably, the Dragon God Martial Soul came from it.

And like Peerless, such [entries]

he had four more?

"..."
