Innate Full Soul Power

Lia stepped inside upon hearing that.

Zhao Yan let out a low roar, and a scorching aura rose from his body as three soul rings—two yellow and one purple—appeared.

He thrust out both hands, channeling fiery-red Soul Power into the black stone and forming a red barrier around Lia.

The scorching aura instantly enveloped Lia.

She felt as though a faint spark had been ignited within her body.

A longing for warmth and light, born from the depths of her soul, was infinitely magnified.

It was as if she had returned to those bitterly cold winter nights, huddled in a corner and trembling as she struck match after match...

She instinctively extended her right hand.

Sizzle!

A faint sound rang out, like a match being struck alight.

What appeared in Lia's palm was not a match.

Instead, a flickering flame rose up. At its core, a tiny match made entirely of pure fire element could vaguely be seen.

"A fire-element Martial Soul?"

Zhao Yan's eyes lit up. At last, someone interesting.

Though its form was a little strange, looking like a burning match, Blazing Fire Academy was interested so long as it was fire-element.

Zhao Yan nodded and handed over a blue crystal ball. "Use your mind to put away your Martial Soul, then test your Soul Power."

With a thought, Lia withdrew her Martial Soul.

Then she placed her hand on the crystal ball, which instantly emitted a dazzling blue radiance.

"This is Innate Full Soul Power!"

Zhao Yan cried out in alarm. He sprang to his feet, his eyes widened like bells as he stared fixedly at Lia.

Although Blazing Fire Academy was considered one of the top elemental academies in the Heaven Dou Empire, it had never recruited a genius with Innate Full Soul Power.

Or rather, geniuses with Innate Full Soul Power had been exceedingly rare throughout the history of Douluo Continent. Virtually no academy had ever recruited one.

Innate Full Soul Power alone was already a delightful surprise, let alone that this genius possessed a fire-element Martial Soul.

For Blazing Fire Academy, this was a gift from heaven!

Zhao Yan immediately reined in his fiery temper. A warm smile spread across his face, and even his voice softened considerably.

"Lia, right? Good child! Your talent is exceptional! I am Zhao Yan, a senior instructor at Blazing Fire Academy, and I formally invite you to join us. The academy will provide you with the finest fire-element cultivation resources and the best teachers! Your tuition will be completely waived! You will also receive a generous monthly living allowance! As long as you work hard, becoming a powerful fire-element Soul Master and making your name known across the continent will be just around the corner! So, what do you say? Are you willing to come to Blazing Fire Academy?"

Zhao Yan finished in one breath and looked at Lia eagerly.

He believed that an orphan with no one to depend on could never refuse the olive branch offered by Blazing Fire Academy.

Lia felt the warmth of the flame in her palm, then looked at the passionate instructor before her.

She remembered the cold winter nights from the fairy tale, remembered the kind old woman who had passed away.

Then she recalled her goal in coming to this new world. A trace of resolve flashed through her amber eyes, and she gave Zhao Yan a deep bow.

"Thank you, Teacher Zhao! I am willing to join Blazing Fire Academy!"

"Good! Hahaha! Wonderful!" Zhao Yan was overjoyed, his hearty laughter echoing across the square. "From today onward, you are a core disciple of Blazing Fire Academy! Come! Follow your teacher back to the academy to register!"

With a sweep of his hand, he left all the children waiting behind to the remaining teachers.

Then, under countless envious gazes, he personally led Lia toward the magnificent gates of Blazing Fire Academy, which resembled blazing flames.

Heaven Dou Empire, Royal Martial Soul Awakening Hall.

As the only daughter of Xue Ye and Queen Eva, Snow White's Martial Soul awakening naturally received special treatment.

The one presiding over Snow White's ceremony was Xue Feng, an eighty-third-rank royal Soul Douluo.

After respectfully bowing to Eva beside him, he extended a hand toward Snow White.

"Your Highness, please stand in the center of the formation."

Snow White released the maid's hand and walked steadily toward the six-pointed star formation.

Qian Renxue noticed that this child had never been as timid as other children since she was young. She always carried a composure beyond her years, which occasionally reminded Qian Renxue of the scene when she awakened her Martial Soul at Spirit Hall at the age of six.

The instant Snow White entered the six-pointed star formation, countless motes of light rose from the ground like fireflies and instantly surrounded her.

"Extend your right hand, child," Xue Feng gently guided.

Within the formation, Snow White slowly raised her right hand. In an instant, the temperature throughout the hall plummeted.

In Snow White's palm appeared a Swan Martial Soul, entirely snow-white save for an icy-blue glow upon its forehead.

"This is... a mutated Martial Soul?" Xue Feng frowned slightly.

The royal family's Swan Martial Souls were usually an elegant creamy white. Such a pure, snow-like form had never appeared before, let alone that icy-blue crest.

It was clearly a Martial Soul mutation, and Martial Soul mutations had always brought uncertain fortune or disaster. A beneficial mutation could greatly increase a Martial Soul's power, while a harmful one could turn it into trash.

However, judging from Snow White's Swan Martial Soul, which emitted waves of chill, he guessed that it was likely a beneficial mutation.

Thus, Xue Feng asked, "Princess, do you know the name of this Martial Soul?"

"This is the Snow-Crested Swan." Snow White blinked her clear, large eyes and spoke softly.

As if responding to her declaration, the Swan Martial Soul in her hand let out a clear cry, and tiny ice crystals instantly formed in the air.

Hearing this, Xue Feng relaxed slightly.

At the very least, the name of this Martial Soul did not sound like an adverse mutation.

He nodded, then took out a Soul Power testing crystal ball. "Your Highness, please test your Innate Soul Power as well."

Snow White withdrew her Martial Soul and placed her palm on the crystal ball.

The crystal ball instantly blazed with light. The dazzling radiance was nearly too bright to look at, and the crystal ball even let out a buzzing hum.

"This is Innate Full Soul Power!" Xue Feng stared at Snow White in utter shock.

Innate Full Soul Power, something seen only once in a hundred years, had appeared within the royal family. What did this signify?

It meant that Snow White was destined to become a Title Douluo in the future, perhaps even reaching the realm of an Limit Douluo.

On the platform above, Xue Ye was so excited he could barely remain standing. He laughed in delight. "Good! Good! At last, the Heaven Dou royal family will produce a true powerhouse!"

Meanwhile, Eva wore a meaningful smile. Innate Full Soul Power?

No, this was Innate Level-20 Soul Power.

Across the entire continent, only the Angel Lineage of Spirit Hall possessed Divine-Gifted Martial Souls, allowing them to be born with Level-20 Soul Power.

Naturally, no one else knew this secret, so they could only assume that Snow White possessed Innate Full Soul Power.
