Martial Soul Awakening

Qian Renxue listened to the voice echoing in her mind, and the smile on her face immediately vanished. Her gaze locked tightly onto Jun Xuehan before her as she asked, "You know what I'm doing?"

Jun Xuehan was slightly startled by Qian Renxue's words, but he merely shook his head to show that he did not know and said nothing.

What's going on? Why is she suddenly asking me that?

As Qian Renxue listened to the voice in her mind, countless thoughts raced through her head. In the end, she pretended nothing had happened, lightly shook her head, and said, "It's nothing. I just thought of something."

This Jun Xuehan was not simple. If she had not been able to hear his inner thoughts, his appearance would have fooled her. Still, I'd like to see what else you know and how long you can keep pretending.

Before long, She Long returned from outside the courtyard carrying six black stones. He walked straight up to Jun Xuehan and said, "Don't move around. I'll conduct your Martial Soul Awakening."

Jun Xuehan nodded lightly. "I understand. I won't move."

She Long poured his Soul Power into the black stones and tossed the six stones toward Jun Xuehan. The six stones began circling around Jun Xuehan's body, gradually forming a pale golden curtain of light that enveloped him.

Heat. An intensely scorching sensation arose within Jun Xuehan's body, as though some terrifying power was slowly awakening.

A high-pitched Dragon Roar sounded behind him. Blinding silver light appeared at his back, and within it was a gigantic silver dragon. Faint Elemental Light flowed around its body, while its dragon wings spread wide, stirring gusts of wind.

At the same time, a completely silver spear appeared in Jun Xuehan's hand. The spear was over twelve feet long and exceptionally slender. Fine silver scales covered its slim shaft, each one hexagonal, delicate, and evenly arranged. Only one end of the spear bore a spearhead, which took up roughly a third of its length. The spearhead was cone-shaped overall and had twelve grooves carved into it.

As She Long looked at Jun Xuehan's Martial Souls, a glint flashed through his eyes. "Twin Martial Souls. This child we picked up halfway is actually a Twin Martial Souls genius, something rarely seen even once in a century across the continent. And judging from the Soul Power fluctuations, both of this child's Martial Souls are at least Top-tier Martial Souls!"

A gentle smile appeared on She Long's face, and his gaze softened as well. Smiling, he took out an azure crystal ball, walked over to Jun Xuehan, and said, "Little one, let's test your Innate Soul Power. Just place your hand on the crystal ball."

Hearing this, Jun Xuehan placed his hand on the crystal ball before him. The azure crystal ball immediately emitted a gentle glow. In the blink of an eye, the light had filled the entire crystal ball.

"Innate Full Soul Power!" She Long's pupils contracted as he looked at the light radiating from the crystal ball in his hand, a flash of delight appearing in his eyes.

Twin Martial Souls and Innate Full Soul Power—they had picked up a genius along the way. And not just any genius, but one whose talent could be called exceedingly rare across the entire continent.

Those with Innate Soul Power at level seven could already be considered geniuses, while Innate Full Soul Power was something seen only once in a century. Not to mention that he possessed Twin Martial Souls.

Qian Renxue looked at the Martial Souls that had appeared behind Jun Xuehan, and her pupils sharply contracted before quickly returning to normal.

She had thought Jun Xuehan's talent would be very high, but she had never imagined that he would possess Twin Martial Souls and Innate Full Soul Power. Moreover, judging by the Soul Power fluctuations emitted by his Martial Souls, both were at least Top-tier Martial Souls.

She Long looked at Jun Xuehan and softly asked, "What are these two Martial Souls of yours? What kind of Martial Souls are they? Why have I never seen them before?"

Jun Xuehan glanced at his Martial Souls and said, "Tool Martial Soul: Silver Dragon Spear. Beast Martial Soul: Silver Dragon King."

As he spoke, a faintly thoughtful look flashed through Jun Xuehan's eyes. His Martial Souls had awakened, but they did not seem to have awakened completely. Both of his Martial Souls gave him the feeling that they had only awakened halfway.

Moreover, his Martial Souls were the Silver Dragon Spear and the Silver Dragon King. Then what was his relationship with Gu Yuena, the Silver Dragon King and Co-lord of Soul Beasts? Setting everything else aside, if someone claimed that he, Jun Xuehan, had no connection whatsoever to Gu Yuena, the Silver Dragon King, he would not believe it himself.

Suppressing his racing thoughts, Jun Xuehan saw a gleam flash through the eyes of She Long and Qian Renxue, then inwardly sighed. Given the current situation, it seems impossible for me to leave. The two most likely outcomes are either joining Spirit Hall or never being able to leave this courtyard again. As Qian Renxue listened to the voice in her mind, she could not help but laugh softly to herself. "Leave? You won't be able to leave even in your dreams. Even if you didn't have Twin Martial Souls and Innate Full Soul Power, I still wouldn't let you leave."

Setting everything else aside, merely because Jun Xuehan knew that she was impersonating Xue Qinghe and plotting to seize the Heaven Dou Empire, Qian Renxue could not let him leave. Not to mention that he was a genius with Twin Martial Souls and Innate Full Soul Power.

Furthermore, those blessed with Twin Martial Souls and Innate Full Soul Power would be treasured no matter which sect or faction they belonged to. For no other reason than that they were true geniuses.

Now that she had picked one up by the river, never mind that he was a commoner—even if he belonged to some great sect or noble clan, she would never return him.

Besides, she had saved Jun Xuehan's life. If she slowly won him over, he would surely become a powerful aid within Spirit Hall in the future. And she could hear his inner thoughts, making everything she did twice as effective with half the effort.

Qian Renxue rose directly to her feet and approached Jun Xuehan with a smile. She softly said, "Put your Martial Souls away. Let's eat first. After we finish, I'll take you to Sunset Forest to obtain a suitable soul ring, so you can become a true Soul Master."

As she spoke, Qian Renxue extended her hand as if she wanted to stroke Jun Xuehan's head, but seeing her movement, Jun Xuehan instinctively dodged away.

Qian Renxue was slightly taken aback when she saw Jun Xuehan avoid her, but she did not pay much attention to it.

"Alright, thank you, Sister Xue'er." A polite smile appeared on Jun Xuehan's cold face.

"It's nothing, just a small matter. Come on, Xuehan. Let's eat first." Qian Renxue nodded. Looking at Jun Xuehan's fair little face, as delicate as a porcelain doll's, she had the urge to reach out and pinch it.

But the moment that urge arose, Qian Renxue forcibly suppressed it.
