Divine Angel and Dark Angel

Under the jurisdiction of Spirit Hall, at the foot of a remote mountain, stood Zonghun Village. Just as the name implied, a Spirit Ancestor had once come from here.

"Today is the day to awaken our martial souls, so none of you need to be nervous."

The person shouting was an elderly grandfather with white hair and beard who leaned on a walking stick, a man named Old Yu.

"Go notify the children of every household to come here for the awakening. The awakening minister will be arriving shortly."

After Old Yu gave his instructions.

The rest of the villagers who had arrived nodded in succession, immediately heading back to call their own children over.

Meanwhile, by the waterfall at the foot of the mountain, a young man possessed a strong physique due to year-round training beneath the falls, though his skin was somewhat dark.

[Congratulations to the host for reaching the age of six. The daily one-hour training task has been achieved, thereby awakening the Realm Breaking System. Each time the host breaks through a realm, rewards can be obtained.]

[In view of the host's daily training, this system hereby presents a beginner's gift pack, which will be automatically distributed when the host awakens their martial soul.]

"Huh?"

"The pack doesn't say anything?"

Su Yu was dumbfounded. Was this system too ridiculous?

"Forget it. Since it's said to be during the martial soul awakening, it must be related to the martial soul. Let's just keep waiting."

Su Yu shook his head. Today's training was over, and it was time to head back.

Leaving this place and returning to the small wooden hut, he saw Old Yu standing at his doorway.

"Grandpa Yu, why are you here?" Su Yu asked.

Seeing Su Yu return, Old Yu smiled and said, "You brat, out of the whole village, you're the only one training by that waterfall every day. I had to come call you. Today is the day to awaken your martial soul, so hurry up and come with me. Everyone else has already arrived."

"Yes!" Su Yu acknowledged. Too lazy to bother with other matters, he followed Old Yu away.

Upon arrival, Su Yu saw a middle-aged man standing upright in his spot in front of the crowd.

"My name is Lin Chen, a Spirit Hall deacon. Today I will awaken your martial souls for you. Do not be afraid next!"

Lin Chen immediately released his martial soul, which was a black tiger martial soul.

"My martial soul is a Black Tiger, a beast martial soul."

After speaking, Lin Chen threw out six stones that landed on the ground, forming the awakening array.

Next, they began entering the array in turn.

"Martial soul sickle, no spirit power."

"Martial soul wooden sword, 0.5 ranks of spirit power."

"Martial soul dagger, no spirit power."

After a round of this, only a single child tested out with 0.5 ranks of spirit power. If this child wanted to become a Spirit Master, they would have to put in at least a hundred times the effort of others to have a chance.

When everyone finished testing, it was finally Su Yu's turn.

When Lin Chen saw Su Yu, his gaze flashed.

This kid has a good physique, his skin is a bit dark, and he even has short golden hair, Lin Chen thought to himself.

Su Yu consciously stepped into the center of the array and closed his eyes to sense the changes in his body.

During this period, Su Yu felt his body begin to grow light.

A burst of golden light flashed, and a figure emerged behind Su Yu. It was an angel projection, and a pair of golden wings slowly unfolded, its right hand gripping a glowing golden Angel Holy Sword.

Lin Chen widened his eyes, looking at Su Yu in disbelief. "How is this possible?"

Old Yu was also dumbfounded, muttering to himself, "This is... an angel martial soul!"

In his youth, he had indeed witnessed the existence of an angel martial soul, one as powerful as the descent of a god.

He never expected that Zonghun Village would produce a genius with an angel martial soul.

The other children who had originally walked away all turned to look at the martial soul behind Su Yu, completely shocked to the core. Some people even involuntarily dropped to their knees.

Su Yu opened his eyes and saw the changes around him, as well as the reactions of the crowd, freezing for a moment.

What was going on? And this light...

Su Yu looked back and discovered that his martial soul was actually an angel, but it seemed to be the Divine Angel, the martial soul of Ye Guoyi a myriad of years later.

"Child, quickly test your spirit power." Lin Chen, having recovered his wits, hurriedly urged.

My goodness, this child was going to explode.

Could he, Lin Chen, actually be promoted and ennobled?

Su Yu placed his palm onto the crystal ball. Unsurprisingly, the crystal ball blazed with boundless light.

"Innate full spirit power!" Lin Chen exclaimed. "Child, what is your name?"

"Su Yu!" Su Yu replied.

"Su Yu, is it? Don't rush, child. I am going to report this to Spirit Hall right now." Lin Chen looked back at Old Yu, who was still in shock. "Watch this kid well and don't let him run around. At the latest by tonight, people from Spirit Hall will arrive."

Old Yu nodded repeatedly. "Rest assured, Deacon."

Having given his instructions, Lin Chen sprinted toward Spirit Hall, driving his second spirit skill, Fierce Tiger Acceleration, and vanished in a puff of smoke.

Su Yu watched the departing Lin Chen, then set about withdrawing his martial soul.

"Scatter now." Old Yu urged the villagers to go home.

After the villagers dispersed, Old Yu looked at Su Yu, unable to conceal his excitement. "Su Yu, you have awakened the symbolic martial soul of Spirit Hall. Your future is boundless!"

"Grandpa Yu, you flatter me," Su Yu smiled.

"Haha, still being modest. Head back first," Old Yu smiled.

Su Yu nodded and returned home together with Old Yu.

Old Yu specially prepared to buy some meat to reward Su Yu.

Su Yu returned to his small wooden hut. The interior was empty, containing almost only a bed and a battered table with nothing else at all. As for wardrobes and the like, there were none to speak of.

Since he was already an orphan, where would he have those things?

Su Yu sat on the edge of the bed and sensed carefully once more, discovering the existence of a second force within his body. He immediately released it.

Next, an aura contrary to the Divine Angel appeared, manifesting as a power of ultimate darkness.

A dark angel projection hovered, a pair of pitch-black wings spread wide, fine shadows condensed at the edges of the wings, her expression cold and stunning, her eyes as black as an abyss, and chilling black Qi lingering around her entire body.

"Dark Angel!"

Su Yu's pupils constricted.

No, no, no!

How could this be a Dark Angel?

Divine Angel and Dark Angel?

Su Yu pondered for a moment and resolutely accepted this reality. No matter what, they were both angel martial souls, and no matter how one looked at it, the quality wouldn't turn out poor.

Just as Su Yu was coming to terms with it, far away on the other side within Spirit Hall, Lin Chen had spent a full hour rushing to the compound.

Arriving in front of Spirit Hall, Lin Chen collapsed onto the ground.

"I'm spent. I almost died."

Lin Chen gasped for breath, hurriedly retrieving a bottle of water from his Storage Soul Tool and beginning to pour it down his throat.

After replenishing his fluids, just as he stood up and prepared to head to the Pope Palace to report, he collided head-on with someone walking toward him.

That person saw Lin Chen's deacon tag and inquired, "Deacon, why did you run all the way here, and why are you so exhausted?"

"My Lord, I am here to report. When I was awakening martial souls, I discovered a child with an angel martial soul."

Lin Chen looked at the person before him and saw that his attire was extremely lavish. Figuring his status was not low, he dared not slack off.

"You said an angel martial soul!" The man flashed a trace of surprise upon hearing this.

"Indeed." Lin Chen nodded.

"What is your name?" the man asked.

"Lin Chen!" Lin Chen replied.

"There is no need to inform the Pope about this matter. You will come with me."

The man issued his command.

Lin Chen was puzzled. "May I ask who Your Lordship is?"

"Elder Palace, Third Pontiff, Greenlark Douluo!"

Lin Chen's body trembled. It was actually the Third Pontiff.

No wonder his aura was so formidable.
