She had lived for tens of thousands of years and seen countless soul beasts and soul masters, yet she had never seen a Martial Soul identical to the soul master himself.

This simply defied all reason.

But the strange phenomenon during the awakening—the crimson-gold pillar of light shooting into the sky, the suffocating pressure...

Everything proved that Nezha's Martial Soul was far from ordinary.

It was definitely a top-tier Martial Soul.

It might even—

Be something beyond top-tier.

And at that moment, Nezha, standing at the center of the formation, finally understood.

His Martial Soul was the Three-Headed Six-Armed Dharma Body.

More precisely, it was the Three-Headed Six-Armed Dharma Body of Nezha the Third Prince, the Great Deity of the Seas' Assembly from the mythological legends of his past life.

And the reason he had been born with Three Heads and Six Arms was because his Martial Soul was too powerful and had caused irreversible changes to his physical body.

"So that's what it was..."

Nezha's heart stirred violently.

No wonder he was called Nezha.

No wonder he had been born with Three Heads and Six Arms.

But soon, he noticed something unusual.

"That's not right..."

Through his connection with his Martial Soul, he vaguely sensed that something seemed to be hidden within the Three-Headed Six-Armed Dharma Body.

A point of light.

A point of light sealed deep within his Martial Soul.

Just as Nezha was about to examine it closely, Ah Rou's voice suddenly rang out.

"Nezha! Come test your Soul Power!"

Ah Rou's voice carried barely restrained excitement.

She had recovered from her initial shock. Now, she held the crystal ball in her hands, her eyes full of anticipation.

Ah Rou knew very well that a top-tier Martial Soul's Innate Soul Power would not be below level seven.

Nezha temporarily suppressed his curiosity about that point of light, stretched out his hand, and pressed it against the crystal ball.

The next second—

Buzz!

A dazzling light burst forth within the crystal ball.

It was a pure, flawless blue, brilliant beyond compare.

Ah Rou's smile froze on her face.

Her eyes widened, and she went completely still.

"This is..."

Her voice trembled.

"This is Innate Full Soul Power!"

"Innate Full Soul Power, something that only appears once in a century on Douluo Continent!"

Ah Rou was so excited that her voice changed pitch as she pulled Nezha into her arms.

"Nezha... your future will surely be limitless!"

Held in Ah Rou's embrace, Nezha felt her warmth, and warmth rose in his own heart as well.

But he quickly calmed down.

Innate Full Soul Power or a top-tier Martial Soul, neither was the finish line.

His goal had never been to become some Title Douluo.

His goal was—

To become a god.

Ah Rou released Nezha and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, her face brimming with pride and anticipation.

After calming herself a little, she asked softly, "Nezha, do you know what your awakened Martial Soul is called?"

Nezha closed his eyes and sensed it for a moment. The true name of his Martial Soul naturally surfaced in his mind.

He opened his eyes and spoke slowly.

"Auntie Rou, my Martial Soul is—the Three-Headed Six-Armed Dharma Body."

"Three-Headed Six-Armed Dharma Body..." Ah Rou repeated the name thoughtfully. "Would that be an assault-type Martial Soul?"

Ah Rou truly had never seen a Martial Soul based on one's own body.

Nezha thought for a moment. "I suppose so."

Sensing the information conveyed by his Martial Soul, he added, "And now, I can freely control my Three Heads and Six Arms."

As he spoke, Nezha willed it into action.

His other two heads and four arms slowly contracted and merged into his body. In the blink of an eye, a normal human youth stood before Ah Rou.

Ah Rou was startled and delighted, letting out a long sigh of relief.

In her eyes, Nezha was human. He could not stay mixed in with soul beasts like them forever; sooner or later, he would have to return to human society.

If he always appeared with Three Heads and Six Arms, he would surely face exclusion and discrimination. Now that he could return to a normal human appearance, that was wonderful.

Besides, if his Martial Soul was assault-type, it would be relatively easier to find suitable soul beasts for him to obtain Soul Rings from.

"That's wonderful..." Ah Rou murmured, her eyes filled with relief. "That's wonderful..."

Nezha said nothing.

In truth, he was not certain whether his Martial Soul was purely assault-type.

He felt that his Martial Soul could also be used as a defense-type or control-type Martial Soul.

According to the information his Martial Soul had given him, every time he obtained a Soul Ring, the phantom of a weapon would condense into a tangible form for him to control and use.

Qiankun Ring, Red Armillary Sash, Wind Fire Wheels, Fire-Tipped Spear, Golden Brick, Nine-Dragon Divine Fire Shield, Demon-Slaying Saber, Yin-Yang Swords...

These were all famous, incomparably powerful divine treasures! With these treasures, forget the Sea God's Trident—even if the Asura Sword were placed before him, he would not care.

At that thought, Nezha's heartbeat quickened involuntarily.

"Nezha, wait here," Ah Rou said as she hurried outside. "I'll look through the soul beast guide and see what soul beast would suit your first Soul Ring."

"A soul master's Soul Rings are of utmost importance. We can't delay this."

The moment she finished speaking, Ah Rou had already rushed out the door.

Nezha watched her retreating figure, the corners of his lips lifting slightly.

"Auntie Rou, thank you."

He murmured softly, then turned his gaze once more toward the point of light deep within his Martial Soul.

What exactly was inside it?

Nezha focused his mind and tried to touch the point of light with his consciousness.

Just then, Xiao Wu's boisterous voice came from outside the door.

"Nezha! Nezha! Come out quickly!"

Nezha helplessly withdrew his focus and walked out of the tree house.

Xiao Wu was gripping the doorframe and peering inside. Da Ming and Er Ming stood behind her, both curiously looking into the house as well.

"Huh?"

The instant Xiao Wu saw Nezha's appearance, she froze.

"Nezha, where did your other two heads and four arms go? Why are they gone? Did something go wrong with your Martial Soul awakening?"

In Xiao Wu's mind, Nezha's normal appearance was Three Heads and Six Arms. Now that he had only one head and two arms left, wasn't that abnormal?

Nezha: "..."

He felt that explaining it to Xiao Wu would be rather troublesome.

"I put them away," Nezha said. "After awakening my Martial Soul, I can freely control my Three Heads and Six Arms."

As he spoke, he revealed his Three Heads and Six Arms again.

Only then did Xiao Wu let out a breath of relief, but she immediately became excited again.

"Quick, quick, quick! Show us your Martial Soul! I'm so curious!"

Helpless, Nezha used Martial Soul Possession.

The phantom of the Three-Headed Six-Armed Dharma Body appeared behind him.

The middle face was solemn, the left compassionate, and the right fierce-eyed.

Each of the six crimson-gold arms held a phantom weapon. The Red Armillary Sash danced through the air, while the Wind Fire Wheels howled.

Xiao Wu's mouth fell open.

"So... so cool!"

Stars sparkled in her eyes as she circled Nezha several times, clicking her tongue in amazement.

Da Ming and Er Ming also revealed looks of surprise.

"Nezha's Martial Soul..." Da Ming said quietly, "is very powerful."

"Very strong!" Er Ming nodded along.

After seeing Nezha's Martial Soul, Xiao Wu quickly lost interest.

"Alright, alright, we've seen it. Come on, let's go play in the forest! The weather's so nice today!"
