Awakening Martial Souls

Time passed unnoticed, and before long, it was noon.

After Yun Duo and the four members of Shui Yunxi's family finished breakfast, they headed together to the courtyard specially used for awakening Martial Souls.

"Yue'er, Bing'er, when I awaken Little Yun Duo's Martial Soul later, the two of you stand behind me and don't make a sound. Don't interfere with Little Yun Duo's Martial Soul awakening."

"Watch carefully and observe the entire process of awakening a Martial Soul. When you both turn six, you'll go through this as well. Consider it an early lesson for you two."

As she lectured her two troublesome daughters, Shui Yunxi took two items from the nearby table: six round, jet-black awakening stones and a blue Soul Power testing crystal ball.

"Okay, okay. Mom, I'll study carefully."

"Mm, I understand."

Seeing the stern expression on their mother's face, the sisters Shui Yue'er and Shui Bing'er obediently nodded.

Having received their family's education, they naturally knew that no one could disturb a Martial Soul awakening.

Moreover, awakening a Martial Soul was one of the most important events in anyone's life.

After all, Soul Masters were the noblest profession on the Douluo Continent.

For commoners living at the very bottom of the Douluo Continent, becoming a Soul Master was the only way to cast off their status as commoners, and it was also the path of advancement best suited to them.

Of course, if one failed to awaken Innate Soul Power after awakening a Martial Soul, one could never become a Soul Master and could only remain a commoner for life.

Naturally, Yun Duo himself was an exception.

Even if he was truly unlucky and encountered the few-percent chance of a malignant Martial Soul mutation,

he would still live a life free of worries over food and clothing.

After all, his status as a non-imperial prince of the Heaven Dou Empire was right there.

"Little Yun Duo, come. Stand in the middle of this hexagon."

"Auntie will awaken your Martial Soul now. Empty your mind, close your eyes, and carefully sense the Martial Soul within your body."

After Shui Yunxi arranged the six black awakening stones into a hexagon on the ground, she beckoned Yun Duo over, signaling for him to stand in the center of the awakening formation.

"Okay, Auntie Yunxi."

Once Shui Yunxi had finished preparing everything, he stepped into the center of the awakening formation.

At that moment, Yun Duo curiously looked at Shui Yunxi.

In the original story, when the blind Divine King Suyun Tao helped children of the proper age awaken their Martial Souls in Holy Soul Village, he always summoned his own Martial Soul.

Why did Auntie Yunxi seem to have no intention of summoning her Martial Soul while helping him awaken his?

Was it because she was a high-level Soul Douluo?

Not someone a small fry like Suyun Tao could compare to?

"Forget it. Why am I thinking so much?"

"I hope I can awaken Grandpa's Fire Flint Gun Martial Soul."

"After all, Grandpa's talent is quite good. He had Innate Soul Power at rank nine. As long as I don't get myself killed, with my family's resources, I'd definitely be a promising candidate for a Titled Douluo."

"If worse comes to worst, awakening my father's pistol Martial Soul would be fine too. Although my father's talent isn't as good as Grandpa's, he still had innate rank-eight Soul Power."

"Of course, that isn't to say Mother's clock Martial Soul has poor quality or talent. But compared with Mother's support-type Martial Soul, I prefer assault-type Martial Souls."

"Of course, it would be even better if I could awaken Twin Martial Souls."

"As for the drawbacks brought by Twin Martial Souls? To me, now that I've awakened the memories of my past life, those aren't a problem at all."

"Others may not know how to cultivate Twin Martial Souls, but how could I not? I can simply follow Bibi Dong's method and copy the answers with my eyes closed."

"Besides, I now have the immortal herbs within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to aid me. No matter which Martial Soul I awaken, becoming a rank ninety-nine Peerless Douluo in the future won't be a problem."

"Of course, ever since I awakened my memories of my past life, I no longer simply wanted to become a Titled Douluo. Breaking through rank one hundred, becoming a god, and enjoying eternal life—that is my ultimate goal."

After sorting out these thoughts, Yun Duo lightly shook his head and expelled the distractions from his mind.

Then Shui Yunxi raised a finger and lightly pointed in his direction. Six streams of Soul Power flowed into the black awakening stones on the ground. In an instant, a pale golden glow lit up from the awakening formation.

As Shui Yunxi poured in her Soul Power, Yun Duo could clearly feel a warm sensation within his body. A power he had never felt before was awakening, growing stronger and stronger.

"Mm, nice and warm. It feels pretty good~" Standing within the golden curtain of light, Yun Duo immediately felt a warm current enter his body and comfortably closed his eyes.

As Shui Yunxi and the others watched expectantly, time slowly ticked by.

"Hmm? Strange. Why hasn't Little Yun Duo awakened his Martial Soul yet? What's going on? Could it be that I haven't supplied enough Soul Power?"

When she sensed that Yun Duo had yet to awaken his Martial Soul, Shui Yunxi was completely baffled.

If she had not seen the faint golden light still gleaming around Yun Duo's body, proving that he was still in the process of awakening his Martial Soul, she would have begun to suspect that his awakening had failed.

"Hmm? Does awakening a Martial Soul take this long? This isn't what we learned. Could something have gone wrong while Brother Yun Duo was awakening his Martial Soul?"

Noticing the abnormality in Yun Duo's awakening, Shui Yue'er blinked her large eyes and looked at her younger sister beside her with a face full of confusion.

"Shut up. Do you really want something to go wrong while Brother Yun Duo is awakening his Martial Soul?"

When she saw Shui Yue'er looking at her, Shui Bing'er instantly understood what her unreliable older sister was trying to say.

Thus, Shui Bing'er fiercely glared at Shui Yue'er, and the two sisters communicated through their eyes in the quiet room.

"Could it be that Little Yun Duo's Martial Soul has mutated?"

It was no wonder Shui Yunxi thought so. As a Soul Douluo, she was naturally very familiar with the process of awakening Martial Souls.

After all, she had gone through it herself.

At the thought of this possibility, Shui Yunxi slightly furrowed her brows, her worry rising to her throat.

As the head of the Tianshui Shui Family, the dean of Tianshui Advanced Soul Master Academy, and a powerful Soul Douluo, she understood all too well the few-percent chance of a Martial Soul mutation occurring.

It could be said that this was entirely a gamble that determined a Soul Master's future and prospects.
