"Alright, now that all of you have awakened your Martial Souls and had your soul power tested, it's time to go home."
After helping the last child test their Innate Soul Power, Su Long announced loudly.
This also made it easier to notify the families waiting nearby for the children.
"Alright, Ming'er. Let's go home. It's time to awaken your Martial Soul."
After gathering the six awakening stones from the ground, Su Long led his son toward their home.
Naturally, he would not awaken his own child's Martial Soul in front of a crowd.
On the way home, Su Long asked with some concern, "Ming'er, are you nervous?"
His son had possessed remarkable intelligence since childhood, far beyond that of ordinary people.
Furthermore, Su Ming had shown a yearning for the outside world and the world of Soul Masters from a young age.
So today was an immensely important day for Su Ming.
After all, one's Martial Soul and innate soul power level determined the limits of one's future.
That was precisely why Su Long was so nervous.
Though he and his wife, Zhou Yun, disliked fighting and had left the world of Soul Masters early to live a laid-back retired life.
They also hoped their child could live peacefully and steadily, just like them.
But they respected Su Ming's wishes and supported his choices.
As parents, all Su Long and Zhou Yun could do was offer more help and lift him higher.
"Relax, Dad."
"Your talent and Mom's talent aren't bad. No matter how bad mine is, how terrible could it possibly be?"
Su Ming wore an expression of absolute confidence as he said this.
Whether it was his innate foundation or the inheritance from his parents, neither was poor.
Besides, no matter how useless he was, he surely could not be like Yu Xiaogang from ten thousand years ago.
And even if his talent turned out to be utterly ordinary, so what?
Born with the ability of Listening to the Sound of All Things and possessing foreknowledge of the plot, was he really afraid he could not cultivate to godhood?
Seeing his son's attitude, Su Long burst into laughter.
"As expected of my, Su Long's, son. Whether our Su family can produce a Title Douluo depends on you."
"Don't worry, Dad." Su Ming spoke with utmost seriousness.
Su Long had only said that to encourage Su Ming.
But what he did not know was that becoming a Title Douluo was merely Su Ming's first-stage goal.
When they returned home, Su Ming looked at the empty courtyard and called into the house.
"By the way, Dad. Mom still hasn't come back? Didn't she go see Grandpa?"
"Your mother sent word last night. Your great-great-grandfather is gravely ill, and it may happen any day now."
"So after your Martial Soul awakens, we'll set off tonight for your great-great-grandfather's home."
Inside the house, Su Long explained as he drew the formation and arranged the awakening stones.
Great-great-grandfather? Su Ming fell into thought upon hearing this.
Compared to his familiar grandfather, Zhou Shan, this so-called great-great-grandfather was someone he was hearing about for the first time.
"Alright, son, come in. Dad will awaken your Martial Soul." At that moment, Su Long called out from inside again.
"Got it." After answering, Su Ming quickly walked inside.
He could no longer wait to awaken his Martial Soul and test his Innate Soul Power.
Su Long asked, "You know the procedure, right? I don't need to teach you?"
"Mm." Su Ming nodded and quickly stepped into the center of the drawn formation.
Su Long swiftly injected his soul power into the six awakening stones, activating the entire formation.
With his strength, releasing soul power without possessing his Martial Soul was naturally an effortless task.
The reason he had done it differently outside was to give those children a better understanding.
"Relax your mind. Follow that power and let your Martial Soul emerge," Su Long gently instructed.
Countless golden lights rushed into Su Ming's body. The sensation brimmed with power, leaving his entire body pleasantly warm.
Immediately afterward, Su Ming clearly sensed a power within his body being drawn forth before erupting directly.
At the same time, Su Ming subconsciously raised his right hand.
In an instant, a mass of deep blue light rose swiftly from his palm.
The blue light flew overhead, then came to Su Ming's back.
At the same time, the silhouette of a colossal beast condensed within the blue light.
Its entire body was deep blue like the depths of the sea, while its belly was pale white.
A pair of enormous pectoral fins spread like wings, and its dorsal fin rose high and split apart.
Most striking were the vivid red markings spreading across both sides of its head and along its back, crossing into an X shape. Its eyes glowed with a cold amber light.
It was so sacred, so noble...
If not for the confines of the room, this beastly phantom could have been even larger.
When it reached maturity one day, even blotting out the sky would pose no problem.
The instant the colossal beast phantom took shape, a torrential downpour erupted out of nowhere inside the room.
The rain fell as densely as a curtain, while all the water spun rapidly around the phantom. Knee-deep seawater suddenly surged from the floor, its undercurrents churning violently.
The beast phantom opened its mouth and released a low whale cry. The moisture stirred by the sound waves shook droplets from the walls.
"Th-this... this..." Looking at the whale-like phantom behind his son, Su Long was so shocked that he could not speak.
As a power-attack Soul Emperor with a Whale Martial Soul and soul power as high as level sixty-seven.
Yet when facing this Martial Soul phantom, Su Long not only sensed a sacred aura that made him want to kneel in worship.
He also felt a terror originating from the depths of his bloodline, making him want to prostrate himself and submit in allegiance.
Retract. Su Ming willed it.
The phantom behind him contracted, turning into a streak of blue light that entered his glabella.
It left behind a sacred α-shaped mark on Su Ming's right hand.
As the phantom vanished, the torrential rain in the room stopped abruptly, and the suddenly appeared seawater rapidly receded.
Everything in the room seemed to return to normal, as though nothing had happened.
Kyogre... Kyogre is actually my Martial Soul! Su Ming's expression remained calm, but a storm raged in his heart.
It was settled. It was all settled now.
Su Ming had originally prepared himself for an ordinary beginning, planning to rely on his own abilities to rise against the odds.
He had never expected such an outrageous start.
Kyogre, the God of the Sea, had actually become Su Ming's Martial Soul.
That so-called Sea God Tang San was nothing but a counterfeit before Su Ming, who possessed the true Sea God Martial Soul.
The day Su Ming became a god would be the day the true Sea God returned to the God Realm and settled accounts with the imposter.
Wait, why are there two more powers inside my body?!
At that moment, Su Ming suddenly sensed two more sacred powers within him.
One of them was on par with Kyogre's power;
The other far surpassed Kyogre's power.
