Heaven Dou Empire, Element City.
The Shui Family home was exceptionally lively today, with a large crowd gathered in the grand hall.
People from the Feng, Shui, and Fire families had all gathered here.
Today was the annual Martial Soul awakening day.
The Feng, Shui, and Fire families had always enjoyed a good relationship, and each year one of them would randomly provide the venue for the three families' eligible youths to awaken their martial souls.
The benefit of doing so was that it could strengthen the relationships among the Feng, Shui, and Fire families, fostering mutual understanding and trust.
Just like when Feng Xiaotian awakened with Innate Full Soul Power back then, this news was known simultaneously to the Feng, Shui, and Fire families.
Inside the hall, the line for awakening martial souls had already formed.
The person in charge of awakening martial souls today was a Soul Emperor powerhouse from the Feng Family.
At the signal of the three family heads, the martial soul awakening ceremony began.
Standing at the very end of the line was a blue-haired boy.
His slightly tender face carried a cold expression.
Standing to his left and right beside him were two young girls.
"Yekong, don't be nervous about awakening your martial soul later, just relax. No matter what martial soul you awaken, you'll always be our good little brother!"
The two girls were none other than Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er, two prodigies among the younger generation of the Shui Family.
Faced with Shui Yue'er's encouragement, the boy only responded with a smile: "Rest assured, Sister Yue'er, I'll definitely awaken a powerful martial soul!"
The boy was named Bing Yekong, and he was also a member of the Shui Family.
However, he had no blood relation to Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, or even the entire Shui Family.
That was because he was picked up from outside by the Shui Family head, which was the mother of Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er.
As for why Bing Yekong was as calm and composed as an adult at this moment, it was entirely because his body housed the soul of an adult.
He was not a native of the Douluo Continent, but a transmigrator from Blue Star.
For unknown reasons, he transmigrated, and when he opened his eyes, he was already in the arms of the Shui Family head.
With six years having passed, the time for him to awaken his martial soul had also arrived.
The martial soul awakening ceremony proceeded very quickly, and since they were all youths from the Feng, Shui, and Fire families, no cases of having zero Soul Power had appeared yet.
Finally, as the line continuously moved forward, it was Bing Yekong's turn to awaken his martial soul.
"Little Yekong, go for it!"
In the Fire Family's group nearby, a red-haired girl shouted toward Bing Yekong.
That girl was none other than Huo Wu in her youth.
Standing beside Huo Wu was a stern-looking white-haired boy, who was currently glaring at Bing Yekong with cold eyes, terrified that the other party would snatch away the person he liked.
And this boy was the pride of the Feng Family head and the possessor of Innate Full Soul Power, Feng Xiaotian.
Faced with Huo Wu's cheers, Bing Yekong responded with a smile, while facing Feng Xiaotian's gaze, Bing Yekong did not yield an inch either.
Possessing the talent of Innate Full Soul Power, yet only just breaking through to Soul Elder at this age—Feng Xiaotian's cultivation speed was truly lackluster.
Even by the tournament eight years later, he would only be at the Soul Ancestor realm, wasting an Innate Full Soul Power talent to such a degree that Bing Yekong held him in utter contempt.
"Come on, little guy, stand in the center of the awakening array."
Under the instruction of the Soul Emperor powerhouse, Bing Yekong stood right in the center of the awakening array, waiting for the martial soul awakening ceremony to begin.
That Soul Emperor powerhouse's martial soul was the same Gale Demon Wolf Martial Soul as the Feng Family head's.
Two yellow, two purple, and two black—six soul rings surfaced beneath his feet.
He stretched out a hand, and cyan wind-attribute Soul Power lingered around his palm, subsequently wrapping Bing Yekong within it.
A pale golden light shield formed, enclosing Bing Yekong and causing him to levitate in mid-air.
Bing Yekong closed his eyes, simply feeling a warm current surge through his crown and into his limbs and bones.
Enjoying this warm sensation, Bing Yekong was also anticipating the emergence of his own martial soul.
That warm current traveled through his entire body, and then gradually gathered within his dantian.
And within his dantian, Bing Yekong's unawakened martial soul was sealed.
Following the impact of that warm current, Bing Yekong felt two forces originating from the dantian.
The moment he felt those two forces, wild joy rushed into Bing Yekong's heart.
He knew all too well what two forces represented; this was clearly the sign of Twin Martial Souls.
Never had he expected that after transmigrating without awakening any golden fingers, he would actually possess Twin Martial Souls.
Since they were already Twin Martial Souls, his talent certainly would not be poor.
Sensing the difference between those two forces, one was as cold as a chilly wind and a sharp blade, while the other was similarly freezing, yet carried an incomparably domineering sensation.
Bing Yekong chose to release one of those forces, because in his view, it was better to only tell the closest people about the secret of Twin Martial Souls.
As he made his choice, that surge of power broke through his lower dantian and released outward.
Meanwhile, in the outside world.
Following Bing Yekong's choice, his martial soul materialized.
An ice-blue longsword appeared in his hand.
Accommodating it came endless ice and snow and a drop in the surrounding air temperature.
The blade radiated an ice-blue glow, making the surrounding air seem to freeze to the point of distortion.
Bing Yekong opened his eyes, looked at the longsword in his hand, and felt his heart fill with shock.
It's actually the Heavenly Frost Sword Martial Soul!
He was more than familiar with this longsword; it was precisely the same martial soul used by Wu Changkong two tens of thousands of years later.
The quality of the Heavenly Frost Sword martial soul was still considered top-tier in this present era.
Seeing Bing Yekong successfully awaken a martial soul that looked formidable and happened to be of the ice attribute, the first to heave a sigh of relief were the Shui sisters, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er.
With an ice-attribute martial soul, Bing Yekong could logically continue to stay in the Shui Family without suffering worldly criticism.
"Alright, little fellow, come test your Innate Soul Power."
The Soul Emperor in charge of awakening martial souls handed a cobalt-blue crystal ball in front of Bing Yekong.
Bing Yekong held the Heavenly Frost Sword in his left hand and placed his right hand on the crystal ball.
In an instant, dazzling and eye-catching ice-blue light filled every corner of the crystal ball, leaving not a single sliver of a gap behind.
The entire place fell silent.
What did this phenomenon indicate? Everyone was crystal clear on it.
The crystal ball leaving not a single gap indicated that Bing Yekong possessed Innate Full Soul Power.
"Goodness, Little Yekong actually has Innate Full Soul Power!" The first to cry out in surprise was the usually carefree Shui Yue'er.
Shui Yue'er's shout jolted the others in the main hall back to their senses.
The happiest of all was naturally the head of the Shui Family.
After Feng Xiaotian awakened with Innate Full Soul Power, the head of the Feng Family often flaunted this son of his in front of the heads of the Shui and Huo families.
Now that her Shui Family had also produced someone with Innate Full Soul Power, she could show him off outside in the future as well.
The emergence of Innate Full Soul Power forced everyone to once again reexamine the longsword in Bing Yekong's hand.
A sword-type martial soul capable of appearing alongside Innate Full Soul Power was bound to be extraordinary in quality.
Bing Yekong's inner self, however, did not stir up much of a ripple.
After all, with the Heavenly Frost Sword martial soul coupled with Twin Martial Souls, it would only be strange if he didn't have Innate Full Soul Power.
