Spirit Awakening, a Hammer?

Sea God Island was under especially strict guard today. Bofeng's Spirit Awakening was of great significance to Sea God Island.

It heralded the birth of Sea God Island's next leader. Once Bofeng turned sixteen, he could go before the Sacred Pillar to receive the corresponding trials, laying the foundation for his future position as Sea God Island's Great High Priest.

Sea God Mountain, Sea God Hall.

This was where Bofeng had lived for the past six years, together with his mother, Bo Saixi.

Bo Saixi sat at the head of the hall. Below her stood seven raised platforms, upon which stood the Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians, the Titled Douluo who protected Sea God Island.

Bofeng stood in the center. Before him was a circular altar, and planted within it was a black rod.

According to his mother, this was the Sea God's divine artifact: the Sea God Trident.

Only the Sea God's Heir was qualified to pull it out.

"Dong, dong, dong..."

The time had come. Bo Saixi, who had kept her eyes closed in meditation, slowly opened her beautiful eyes.

Looking at her son below, she smiled faintly. "The Spirit Awakening ceremony is about to begin. Feng'er, are you ready?"

Bofeng nodded solemnly. "Mom, I'm ready. It can begin at any time."

After receiving her son's answer, Bo Saixi slowly rose from her seat and walked straight down until she reached the spot where the Sea God Trident was embedded, standing opposite Bofeng.

After respectfully bowing to the Sea God Trident, the Golden Scepter in Bo Saixi's right hand erupted with dazzling Golden Light.

The instant golden energy struck the Sea God Trident, the entire Sea God Hall lit up. For a moment, Sea God Mountain was engulfed in blue-gold radiance.

The light did not fade for a long while. Instead, it grew even more brilliant.

"Feng'er, enter the pillar of light and carefully sense the existence of your Spirit," Bo Saixi instructed.

Following his mother's guidance, Bofeng slowly entered the pillar of light.

At that moment, Bofeng felt as though he had entered a warm world, filled with an indescribably comfortable sensation. Drawn by that warmth, something within him seemed to shatter.

Then, under the watchful eyes of Bo Saixi and the Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians.

A majestic figure appeared behind Bofeng. It was a man holding a Golden Trident, dressed in blue-gold robes and wearing a golden crown. This was Bofeng's Spirit: the Sea God.

Just like Bo Saixi's Spirit, as her son, he had perfectly inherited this God-level Spirit. It was in no way inferior to Spirit Hall's Six-winged Angel.

The Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians were filled with excitement as they respectfully dropped to one knee. They were the Sea God's most loyal guardians.

Bo Saixi also knelt halfway, looking at her son bathed in golden light and the Sea God Spirit behind him, identical to her own.

If nothing unexpected happened, he would become the next Sea God High Priest.

But then, something unexpected happened.

In Bofeng's left hand, he sensed another power. No, it should have been another Spirit.

Slowly raising his left hand, under everyone's watchful gaze, an entirely black hammer appeared. Its handle was about half a foot long, its head cylindrical, and a faint ring of patterns coiled around its dark surface.

This was Bofeng's other Spirit. While the Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians were baffled, Bo Saixi understood perfectly.

This Second Martial Soul: a hammer.

It came from her beloved, Bofeng's father.

Bo Saixi's eyes moistened. After six years, seeing this hammer again left her more excited than anything else could have.

The pressure brought by the hammer caused Bofeng's left hand to slowly sink.

Such a small hammer, yet its weight was unexpectedly immense.

Bo Saixi wiped the remaining tears from the corners of her eyes. Seeing her son struggling slightly, she hurriedly waved her scepter.

The golden light covering Bofeng was withdrawn, and the Sea God behind him gradually faded before returning to Bofeng's body.

Yet the Hammer Martial Soul in Bofeng's left hand showed no sign of retracting. It quietly floated above his palm.

Bo Saixi hurriedly said, "Feng'er, circulate your Soul Power and withdraw your hammer."

Following his mother's instructions, Bofeng circulated the Soul Power within his body. The black light around his left hand dispersed, the heavy force vanished, and the mysterious hammer was retracted. So this was Soul Power.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Bofeng thought that the hammer had to weigh at least three to five hundred jin. Fortunately, he had consumed quite a few precious heavenly treasures as a child. Otherwise, that weight alone would truly have been too much for him to bear.

"Mom, this hammer is...?" Bofeng asked in confusion. Since it could be inherited alongside his mother's Sea God Spirit, then the owner of this Hammer Martial Soul had to be his father.

Bo Saixi reached out and wiped the remaining sweat from Bofeng's forehead. She smiled gently. "When the time comes, you will know. Promise Mom that you must never use that Hammer Martial Soul in the future, especially after you go to the continent."

A bold guess rose in Bofeng's heart. Could this hammer be...

Suppressing his curiosity, Bofeng nodded. "Mom, I understand."

Only after seeing Bofeng agree did Bo Saixi stand up and take a crystal ball from the table behind her. It was a crystal ball used to display Soul Power levels, capable of accurately determining Bofeng's current Soul Power.

When Bofeng placed his right hand on the crystal ball, the Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians and Bo Saixi held their breath.

Under everyone's eager gaze, the crystal ball emitted an unprecedented radiance.

The entire pitch-black Sea God Island was instantly enveloped by this Blue Light.

"Innate Full Soul Power!" Sea Lance Douluo, standing on the platform with a golden spear in hand, said excitedly.

But in the next moment, the crystal ball in Bo Saixi's hand suddenly cracked apart.

For the crystal ball to shatter, his Soul Power had to have exceeded its limit.

The crystal ball Bo Saixi had taken out earlier was one capped at Level Ten.

This also meant that Bofeng's current Soul Power had clearly surpassed Level Ten.

Bo Saixi was not surprised. Instead, she joyfully ordered a maid to bring another, new crystal ball.

After a short while, a new crystal ball was brought over. This one could measure Soul Power up to Level Twenty.

When Bofeng placed his right hand on it again, the Soul Power within his body was drawn forth and began frantically gathering toward his right hand.

The originally plain crystal ball immediately lit up with a trace of blue light, which then rapidly grew brighter.

Bofeng's gaze sharpened, and all his Soul Power surged forth at once.

The crystal ball held by the maid immediately erupted with dazzling blue light again. Its brilliance even surpassed the previous spectacle.

Innate Full Soul Power was already a talent among talents, but judging from this...

"Innate Full Spirit Power Level Twenty!" Bo Saixi said with a smile.

This was within her expectations. When she had awakened the Sea God Spirit back then, her Innate Full Spirit Power had also been Level Twenty.

The Sea God Spirit was inherently a God-level Spirit. Like the Six-winged Angel Spirit, it was among the most supreme existences on Douluo Continent, far beyond any ordinary Spirit.
