Spirit Hall, elder's residence.
A little boy of about six years old climbed out of bed, looked at the just-brightening sky outside the window, sighed softly, and said, "I hope my martial soul is powerful."
The child was named Dongfang Yu, a member of the time-traveling army. With his parents sacrificing themselves at the start and himself becoming an orphan, this routine had no problems.
Due to a chance encounter, he was taken back to Spirit Hall by Yue Guan of Spirit Hall. In the blink of an eye, six years had passed, and the baby of back then had also become a little boy. Today was the day to awaken martial souls.
For six years, Dongfang Yu had tried countless times to awaken his golden finger, but every time he came up empty-handed, which dealt a heavy blow to him.
Damn it!
Where is my golden finger?
Are you looking down on me?
After cursing and muttering for a while, Dongfang Yu turned back into a long face and said, "What should I do?"
If the awakened martial soul was not powerful, he might be wandering the streets tomorrow and become an orphan once again. After all, Spirit Hall's meals were not given to him for free.
Shall I... go rely on Tang San? Dongfang Yu pondered, and the more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. Originally, he had actually planned to go rely on Tang San, but he also knew that Tang San's rise began after he awakened his martial soul, plus having free food and lodging in Spirit Hall, he...
A moment later, Dongfang Yu made up his mind. If the martial soul he awakened today was a trash martial soul, he would immediately go rely on Tang San. If the awakened martial soul was decent, he would enjoy a few more years in Spirit Hall; anyway, Spirit Hall wouldn't fall anytime soon.
Thinking of this, Dongfang Yu muttered a few more words and said, "I wonder what Bibi Dong looks like. In case she really is a great beauty, it would be a bit of a pity if she died."
Then, he shook his head again. What did Bibi Dong's beauty have to do with him? He couldn't eat it or touch it, and if he meddled, he might even be suspected by Tang San, which ran completely counter to his dream of slacking off and waiting for death.
Although the dark night was long, it was not eternal. Dawn had finally come.
Spirit Hall, awakening hall.
Yue Guan looked at Dongfang Yu and said, "Xiaoyu, don't be nervous. Relax your mind."
Dongfang Yu nodded, a trace of trepidation in his heart, and said, "Uncle Yue, what if what I awaken is a trash martial soul?"
Yue Guan smiled and said, "No, I believe in you."
Seeing that Yue Guan had full confidence in him, a trace of pity flashed through Dongfang Yu's heart. He knew the endings of various characters in Douluo Continent, and naturally understood Yue Guan's fate as well.
If not for Yue Guan, he might have croaked right at the start. He owed him a life-saving grace, yet he wanted to abandon him and leave. Was this really okay?
Perhaps, I should remind him... In case he listens, he can save his life, Dongfang Yu thought inwardly, making up his mind that after he awakened his martial soul, if he really wanted to leave Spirit Hall, he would give him some pointers before leaving.
"Scissors martial soul, tool martial soul, Soul Power 0. You do not have the qualifications to become a Soul Master..."
"Iron sword martial soul, tool martial soul, Soul Power rank 3. Child, you have the qualifications to become a Soul Master..."
"Lamb martial soul, beast martial soul, Soul Power 0. You do not have the qualifications to become a Soul Master..."
"Blue Silver Grass martial soul, trash martial soul, Soul Power 0. You do not have the qualifications to become a Soul Master..."
Seeing that among the children ahead of him, only one out of ten could become a Soul Master, Dongfang Yu lost more and more confidence.
Soon, it was Dongfang Yu's turn, but he hesitated somewhat. Yue Guan comforted him, "Don't be afraid, go ahead."
Dongfang Yu let out a heavy breath, looked at Yue Guan, and said, "Uncle Yue... then... I'm going?"
"Go." Yue Guan gave Dongfang Yu an encouraging look.
Dongfang Yu grit his teeth secretly, took a step forward, and soon stood within the hexagram pattern. Immediately afterward, a scorching aura surged from his body, as if something inside his body was about to come out.
The four-ring Soul Ancestor named Louis, who was responsible for helping awaken the martial souls, saw that Dongfang Yu kept restraining himself and couldn't help saying, "Child, relax. Don't resist this power."
Hearing this, Dongfang Yu nodded, and then slowly relaxed his whole body.
Yue Guan stood nearby, and seeing Dongfang Yu look like this, could not help worrying: Why hasn't he awakened yet...
No sooner said than done!
Soon, Dongfang Yu let out a loud cry, startling everyone!
Ah!!
Only to see a golden light gush out from Dongfang Yu's body, and instantly, the light shone in all directions!
This light was so bright that some ordinary people around were temporarily unable to open their eyes, and only Soul Masters could be spared.
Soon, a figure slowly condensed behind Dongfang Yu, while Dongfang Yu himself was covered in sweat and half-knelt on the ground.
Damn it! Awakening a martial soul cost me half my life! Dongfang Yu cursed inwardly, while also secretly rejoicing, thinking that his martial soul shouldn't be weak.
A minute later, the martial soul was finally condensed, and the whole audience was dumbfounded!
"Holy cow! So pretty!"
"This is... a fairy, right?"
"She looks just like an Angel... So pretty."
Yue Guan was also shocked. This child's martial soul turned out to be a humanoid martial soul!! And compared to the other humanoid martial soul, the Six-Winged Angel, its aura was only stronger, not weaker!
Seeing everyone losing their composure one after another, Dongfang Yu was puzzled. What kind of martial soul had he awakened? Why were they acting like a bunch of creeps, one and a half?
Then, he turned his head to look.
Holy crap!
Angewomon! Dongfang Yu's pupils widened almost to the point of bursting, but this still couldn't cover up the shock in his heart.
Not bad, it turned out that the martial soul he had awakened was indeed Angewomon! (From Digimon, those who don't know can look it up.)
A head of long golden hair fluttered behind her back, and though she wore a mask on her face, it did not cover the lower half of it. Just looking at those sexy red lips, Dongfang Yu admitted that he had turned wicked, and relying on his experience of living two lives, this Angewomon definitely had a mature-woman face!
As for her figure, it could completely be described as curvaceous and graceful, tender as water, and she even had long legs!
A pink ribbon stood upon her shoulders, and matched with those three pairs of pure white wings, her aura became incomparably holy and sacred, involuntarily preventing anyone from giving rise to thoughts of desecration.
Dongfang Yu swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "This isn't a dream, is it?"
"Xiaoyu, come quickly and test your Soul Power." Yue Guan took out a crystal ball, though it was a bit different in color from the one in Louis's hand.
Dongfang Yu steadied his mind, wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth, and said, "Alright, I'm coming right now."
With that, he walked over to Yue Guan, and just as he prepared to place his hand down to test, he saw Yue Guan staring blankly in a daze behind him.
Damn, I'm not about to be bent straight, am I? Dongfang Yu speculated darkly in his heart. The next moment, he placed his hand upon the crystal ball.
In an instant, the golden light within the crystal ball was directly filled to the brim!
Perhaps sensing something, Yue Guan withdrew his gaze and instead looked at the crystal ball in his hand, thinking in inner shock, This is a level 20 testing crystal, after all. You brat are about to defy the heavens!
Dongfang Yu withdrew his hand, scratched his head with a smile, and said very shyly, "Uncle Yue, do you think I still have a chance?"
