Body Martial Soul, Golden Blood

As if she had seen through Bai Mo's thoughts, Natsuki Minamiya also noticed that something was off.

She suddenly reached out and gently placed her hand on Bai Mo's shoulder.

A strange power flowed from her palm into his body. After swiftly circulating through him once, it returned to her body.

Natsuki Minamiya's expression immediately turned strange.

"You... actually awakened a martial soul?"

She withdrew her hand, her azure eyes filled with confusion. "That shouldn't be possible. Golden Scions aren't supposed to have martial souls... Could I have been wrong? You're not a Golden Scion?"

She felt that she might have made a blunder, drawing a one-sided conclusion based solely on his golden blood.

Perhaps Bai Mo's golden blood was related to this unknown martial soul he had awakened?

Natsuki Minamiya's words made the atmosphere in the room subtle once more.

Bai Mo then gave a detailed account of how he had awakened in that moment of danger, the power that had surged from the depths of his bloodline, and the golden flames that had ultimately gathered around his right fist.

After hearing him out, Natsuki Minamiya fell into thought. She did not know the martial soul system of Douluo Continent particularly well and could not make an accurate judgment.

Meng Hongchen, on the other hand, grew more animated the longer she listened. At last, she suddenly slapped a hand against her palm in realization.

"I get it now, little brother Bai Mo. You must have independently awakened a Body Martial Soul, and the body of that martial soul is your Golden Blood."

"Body Martial Soul?"

For the Douluo Continent of this era, the term was undoubtedly unfamiliar.

Yet Meng Hongchen, Xiao Hongchen, Ye Guyi, and Nan Qiuqiu all wore expressions as though that was only natural.

For them, who had originally come from the Douluo Continent of another parallel universe, the concept of a Body Martial Soul was anything but unfamiliar.

"I see..."

Natsuki Minamiya nodded thoughtfully and no longer dwelled on whether he was a Golden Scion.

"Wow, an independently awakened martial soul, and it's even a Body Martial Soul."

Nan Qiuqiu's eyes darted around, excitement sparkling in her pink pupils.

She skipped over to Bai Mo and eagerly invited him, "Bai Mo, come to Sanctuary Academy. With your age and such incredible talent, getting into the junior division definitely won't be a problem."

Bai Mo's heart truly stirred.

This world was already completely different from the Douluo Continent he knew.

His original plan had been to wait for people from Spirit Hall to come to the village for the awakening ceremony. If he awakened a decent martial soul, he would join Spirit Hall and use that massive organization to grow stronger and protect Na'er.

But now, Sanctuary Academy seemed like a far more suitable choice than Spirit Hall.

This mysterious academy, so utterly out of place in this era, had gathered travelers like Meng Hongchen and the others, and it even possessed knowledge regarding the Transfer Phenomenon.

This was the true home of an outsider like him.

Spirit Hall, being a native power, probably knew nothing about the truths of many worlds, while Sanctuary Academy clearly possessed far more intelligence.

"Perfect."

Before Bai Mo could answer, the excited Meng Hongchen flipped her wrist and took out a crystal-clear orb from her storage soul tool. "I have a soul tool here for testing soul power. Come on, little brother Bai Mo, let's see what level your Innate Soul Power is."

"Okay." Bai Mo also wanted to know just how talented he was. He stretched out his small hand and gently placed it on the cool crystal orb.

In an instant, he felt as though something warm within his body was being drawn out in thin strands and flowing into the crystal orb.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the crystal orb lit up from within. Its glow grew brighter and brighter, gradually changing from a gentle white radiance into a dazzling glare. Finally, with a hum, it burst forth with brilliant light, illuminating the entire crude wooden house as brightly as day.

"Wow, Innate Full Soul Power, just as I expected." Meng Hongchen's eyes sparkled as though she had discovered an unparalleled treasure.

Bai Mo was delighted as well.

The level of one's Innate Soul Power directly determined a soul master's future cultivation speed and potential. Innate Full Soul Power was already the ultimate talent an ordinary soul master could attain.

As for those existences from the original work who had Innate Soul Power of level twenty from birth, those were God-Blessed Martial Souls forcibly created by deities with divine power—privileges that could not be envied.

"Come on, there's this too."

Meng Hongchen was clearly having too much fun. She took out another strangely shaped metal disc. "This is an attribute tester. You definitely have the fire attribute, but there's no harm in testing it anyway."

Bai Mo obediently pressed his hand against it.

At once, a pure golden flame flared up from the center of the metal disc, a clear sign of the fire attribute.

However, just as everyone thought the test was about to end, a force far more tyrannical and aggressive than fire suddenly surged from Bai Mo's palm.

With a crisp crack, the surface of the precise soul tool disc was instantly covered in fractures. Then, beneath everyone's stunned gazes, it completely shattered into a pile of parts.

"..."

Bai Mo awkwardly withdrew his hand. "This... shouldn't have anything to do with me, right?"

"(⊙o⊙)..."

Meng Hongchen widened her eyes in disbelief, then crouched down and picked up a fragment of the soul tool. A troubled expression appeared on her face. "That can't be right. My tester can withstand attribute infusion up to the Soul King level. How did this happen?"

"Idiot."

Xiao Hongchen finally could not stand it any longer. His mismatched eyes held a trace of scrutiny and unconcealed astonishment as he looked at Bai Mo.

"It was the destruction attribute. This kid's destruction attribute surpasses his fire attribute. Your tester simply can't withstand pure power of destruction."

He paused before adding in a complicated tone, "A Body Martial Soul with dual destruction and fire attributes, and Innate Full Soul Power at that... Bai Mo, your talent is no less than mine."

In their era, Body Martial Souls had already been renowned for their strength. Among them, those that used their own blood as their martial souls were even more exceptional.

The future achievements of this seemingly frail boy were immeasurable.

Natsuki Minamiya gently closed the lace folding fan in her hand and tapped its ribs against her chin. Her azure eyes calmly watched Bai Mo, as though she could see through the secrets buried in the depths of his heart.

"Although I don't know whether you count as a Golden Scion, there is no doubt that you are a traveler."

Her voice was soft, but full of certainty. "Sanctuary Academy recruits students like you—people with special identities who came to this world by accident. Of course, the choice is yours. If you are unwilling, I won't force you."
