"Max-level traits?"
"Was this really the kind of reward a beginner was supposed to get?"
Jiang Yan could not help but marvel inwardly. Even if he did not know how powerful their effects were, judging by the words "max level" and "Peerless" alone...
It no longer mattered.
"System, quickly open the detailed inspection..."
"Yan'er! Come test your strength! Your Innate Soul Power... cannot possibly be below level nine!"
Before Jiang Yan could call out the system, Jiang Luochuan had already excitedly handed him the Soul Power testing crystal. The old man's aged face was flushed red, and he looked utterly impatient.
Not below level nine meant at least level ten. The Martial Soul had produced immense pressure on him the instant it awakened. The status of Yan'er's Martial Soul was enough to stand above every Martial Soul!
If tales of gods had not long since vanished from the continent, he might even have believed Yan'er possessed Innate Soul Power at level twenty!
He had surpassed Qian Renxue from twenty thousand years ago.
It was not impossible!
"Yes, Grandpa."
Jiang Yan smiled, suppressing his urge to inspect the traits as he reached out his hand.
Sure enough, light burst forth in an instant. The crystal's glow reached its peak immediately, the mark of Innate Full Soul Power.
This was not the limit of the Dragon God Bloodline.
This was the innate limit of Soul Masters on the Douluo Continent!
"As expected..."
"It's Innate Full Soul Power."
Looking at the light erupting from the testing crystal, the delight in Jiang Luochuan's eyes did not diminish, though his voice carried a hint of regret.
Eh—so it really was level ten!
It was both expected and unexpected.
After all, either the Light Sacred Dragon or the Light-Dark Sacred Dragon possessed the talent of Innate Full Soul Power. With Yan'er's heaven-defying Martial Soul, this was honestly not that high.
Compared to the nine elements...
Innate Full Soul Power seemed rather ordinary instead.
"Yan'er, what is the name of your Nine-Element Sacred Dragon?"
"To this day, this old man has never seen a Martial Soul like yours. Beyond the world's seven elements, it even contains two other special energies."
"One of them is life? Then the other..."
Jiang Luochuan gathered his thoughts and recalled the various elements that had flowed in succession earlier.
With Yan'er's Martial Soul talent, if he reported it to headquarters, even the old tower master would probably emerge from seclusion in excitement to take him as a disciple.
"Grandpa is right. Of the nine energies in my Martial Soul, the first eight are the seven elements and life. The last is the End Destruction Power, which complements and opposes life."
"As for my Martial Soul's name..."
"Holy Dragon King."
Jiang Yan spoke with a smile. He had pondered it repeatedly; without sufficient strength, he could not yet bear the name Dragon God.
A rather ordinary Dragon King title.
It would do as a name for now.
"Holy Dragon King? Good, that name is good. It sounds good..."
Jiang Luochuan nodded and said "good" several times in a row. He could fully imagine that the day Yan'er awakened his Martial Soul would surely be recorded in history!
The words Holy Dragon King.
Would surely become Peerless in the world!
"..."
Jiang Yan rubbed his forehead helplessly.
It sounded good?
Was he talking about the name he had casually come up with as someone terrible at naming things?
Grandpa, you...
"Yan'er, Grandpa will take you home first. Get used to your Martial Soul's power and prepare for meditation."
"Aolai City does not have enough Soul Spirits in reserve, and there are no high-level Soul Spirits either. In a few days, Grandpa may need to travel far away."
Jiang Luochuan smiled kindly. Aolai City was ultimately only a city suited for retirement, and its Soul Spirit reserves were pitifully low.
If possible...
Of course he wanted the best for his adopted grandson.
Besides, with Yan'er's talent, he ought to report this peerless genius to headquarters and inform the tower master.
Aolai City and Eastsea City.
Had gone far too long without producing any decent geniuses.
"Yes, Grandpa."
Jiang Yan answered. He was already looking forward to his first Soul Skill, though before that...
He was even more eager to see his five trait talents!
"..."
Not long after.
In the coastal residential district northwest of Aolai City.
Inside a small two-story villa by the sea, Jiang Yan bid farewell to the old man in the living room before returning to his cozy room and immediately sitting down on the small sofa.
"Possessing the Dragon God Bloodline, a system, and even five top-tier trait effects..."
"Is this how an invincible protagonist begins?"
Jiang Yan took a deep breath and could not help muttering.
He knew it was bad luck to celebrate too early, but when the moment truly came, who could possibly keep calm?
As a transmigrator, he had actually made plans for his future before this. If his talent was good, then everyone would be happy. But if it was not...
With his foreknowledge, he could still intercept Gu Yuena, the co-ruler of the Soul Beasts, build a relationship with her, and pave the way for the future.
He could befriend Tang Wulin, the benchmark male lead of Douluo, enroll in Eastsea Academy, and strive to become the fifth student of Zero Class.
But now, the system was not giving him that opportunity.
"System, inspect my information panel and..."
"The five max-level traits."
Putting aside the chaotic thoughts in his mind, he poured himself a glass of plain water and silently spoke inwardly.
[Yes, dear host. Displaying your information panel.] [Host: Jiang Yan] [Martial Soul Bloodline: Dragon God] [Current Soul Power Level: Level 10 Soul Warrior] [Bloodline abilities are as follows: Dominating the World, Master of All Life, Elemental Lord, Divine Power of Nature...] [Dominating the World · Can inflict over 50% intimidation on any bloodline holder, unconsciously instilling fear.] [Master of All Life · Deals an additional 50% damage to any bloodline holder. Can stack with other abilities.] [Elemental Lord · Possesses affinity with and control over every elemental attribute in the world. All nine elements are at their pinnacle, and control grows stronger with every ten levels gained.] [Divine Power of Nature · Greatly attracts any divine power whose status exceeds that of a First-Level God, and can feed it back into oneself, transforming it into power under complete control. Current divine power: None.] [Trait talent effects: Peerless Immortal Beauty! Peerless! Unbreakable Defense! Heaven-Defying Comprehension! Golden Branches and Jade Leaves! (All max)]
"..."
"Ah?"
Merely seeing the talents of his Martial Soul made Jiang Yan suck in a cold breath. His eyes widened, and three words surfaced in his mind as his self-assessment: absurdly powerful.
The terrifying value of the Dragon God needed no explanation.
"These bloodline effects alone are enough to make me invincible across Douluo. Not to mention..."
The light in Jiang Yan's eyes grew brighter.
He...
Still had five traits!
[Trait · Peerless Immortal Beauty (Rainbow Quality)] [Unmatched charm and unparalleled looks. No matter where you appear, you will become the focus of the crowd and the center of the world.] [Your attraction to both the opposite sex and the same sex is greatly increased. You were born with Peerless Immortal Beauty!] [Trait · Peerless (Rainbow Quality)] [The finest talent, unmatched by anyone in the world. Every time you break through a bottleneck, you will definitely gain an additional level. Every advancement grants additional enhancement. You were born Peerless; alive, you will eventually become invincible!] [Note: Upon awakening your Martial Soul, you are destined to awaken the strongest Martial Soul in the current world. When stacked with Unbreakable Defense, it will achieve absolute—invincibility while alive—under conditions of absolute immortality.] [Trait · Unbreakable Defense (Rainbow Quality)] [An ultimate physique that no one can break. When you face damage, it triggers and instantly negates 99% of that damage, with a chance to convert 60% of the damage into a counterattack.] [Comes with special skill · Intangibility. It can also be triggered actively when facing damage, placing you upon the boundary between reality and illusion: you take damage, yet do not take damage. Daily uses: ninety-nine.] [Trait · Heaven-Defying Comprehension (Rainbow Quality)] [Extraordinary potential and heaven-defying comprehension. In cultivation, learning, breakthroughs... in every aspect, you possess the strongest talent. Every advancement succeeds, every lesson is mastered, every god is surpassed!] [Trait · Golden Branches and Jade Leaves (Rainbow Quality)] [You are born with a noble identity and background. Every time you arrive in a new world, it refreshes and automatically generates guards based on the strongest being in the current world.] [Note: The strongest being on the current continent has been detected as plane lord Tang Hao, with the cultivation of a Second-Level God. Two guardians are being generated.]
"..."
"Ah???"
After reading all the trait effects, Jiang Yan was even more shocked. He silently set down his cup, walked to the full-length mirror in his room, and could not say a word.
Peerless Immortal Beauty? He considered that the least improved one. At least his appearance had not changed. But the others...
Defense that could never be broken, a status that made him invincible from birth, heaven-defying comprehension, and...
Two guardians as powerful as Tang Hao!
This was blatant cheating.
Did that not mean that even against Tang Hao, he would still have the strength to resist?
Jiang Yan smiled. In the end, his gaze settled on the conspicuous line beneath the [Peerless] trait:
"It really is..."
"Alive and eventually invincible."
With the Dragon God Bloodline, even on this Douluo Continent reduced to the Tang Family's backyard, he could still reverse the ending.
And now, the idea of breaking the stalemate in the Douluo world and ruining the Tang Family's grand plans would likewise become reality in the near future!
"Since I've already transmigrated here..."
"Then for this battered and broken Douluo Continent..."
"Let's make some changes."
Jiang Yan smiled softly, his eyes filled with distant thoughts.
And at that very moment.
As two figures appeared before him, the system's voice rang out in his mind again.
[The guardians have been successfully arranged.]
"They're here?"
Jiang Yan's eyes lit up. At his side, two peerlessly beautiful goddesses had quietly appeared, but...
After only one glance, his eyes silently widened—
The first had waist-length golden hair. Her cream-colored gown perfectly accentuated her figure, and she held a golden holy sword. Her noble and elegant face carried an inviolable sense of holiness.
The second's purple-black hair made her seem even colder and more glamorous. Her purple dress emitted a dark aura, and little emotion could be seen on her proud, aloof face. She tightly gripped a purple-black scythe.
The two women seemed not to have reacted yet. Looking at their surroundings, they lowered their gazes toward Jiang Yan. A trace of bewilderment flashed through their beautiful eyes, followed by joy, and then they both dropped to one knee.
"Your subordinates, Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong!"
"Pay respects to Young Master."
"..."
PS: Parallel-world versions serving as guards, with enhanced strength.
