Freak Qin Yu, Spirit Awakening

Douluo Continent.

Spirit City.

As the continent's premier city, its prosperity far surpassed the capitals of the two great empires, Star Luo and Heaven Dou, with tens of thousands of people passing through it every day.

At the center of the city stood the most magnificent architecture on the entire continent—the Papal Hall.

On the left and right sides of the Papal Hall stood two majestic and grand buildings, respectively.

On the left was the Elder Hall, and on the right was the Douluo Hall.

Aside from these two great halls, far in the distance behind the Papal Hall, there was yet another hall—that was the even more mysterious Worship Hall.

The Worship Hall, the Papal Hall, the Elder Hall, and the Douluo Hall, these Four Great Halls formed the core of Spirit Hall, the continent's number-one faction.

"Xiao Huohuo, Profound Jade Ruler spirit, rank 5 Innate Soul Power."

"Lin Yunli, Great Wilderness Serpent spirit, rank 5 Innate Soul Power."

"Ma Peter, Ox-Horse Beast spirit, rank 3 Innate Soul Power."

In the plaza before the Papal Hall, a group of children with youthful faces stood neatly in lines.

A cardinal was awakening their spirits, testing their soul power, and recording the results.

These children came from the Sunshine Orphanage within the city.

In the Sunshine Orphanage, most were children orphaned because of fallen soul masters, along with some descendants of Spirit Hall loyalists.

Before these children awakened their spirits, all expenses were covered by Spirit Hall.

After the spirit awakening, depending on each person's talent, they were trained separately and assigned different provisions until these children became capable of self-reliance.

Those with outstanding talent could enter the Spirit Academy to study.

Even more hopeful was the chance of catching the eye of certain big figures in Spirit Hall, taking them on as disciples, and ascending to the heavens in a single bound.

Six years ago, one genius from the Sunshine Orphanage was taken in as a disciple by the current pope, and another genius entered the Spirit Academy to receive key cultivation.

Here, those with exceptional talent were never buried.

"Next, Qin Yu."

The cardinal in charge of this spirit awakening was named Su Yuntao.

As his voice fell, among the group of children, a black-haired, purple-eyed boy stepped forward.

The boy had very fine facial features and a healthy, rosy complexion, and upon growing up, he was bound to be a handsome young fellow.

The only somewhat jarring thing was that in the boy's pair of purple eyes, there was always a maturity and composure far beyond his peers.

Still, this was normal.

There were many children like this in the Sunshine Orphanage, and for them, maturing in mind a little earlier was also a good thing.

"Child, don't be nervous."

Su Yuntao smiled, pointing to the glowing six-pointed star array on the ground: "Just like your little friends, stand right on it."

"Mm."

Qin Yu nodded, stepping into the six-pointed star array as a trace of anticipation flashed in the depths of his eyes.

Six years ago, his body underwent a change similar to returning to youth, regressing into an infant, and he came from Blue Star to Douluo Continent.

When he regained consciousness, he had already been brought to the Sunshine Orphanage in Spirit City.

Moreover, his body was very special, with attributes far surpassing his peers, and strength that was all the more astonishing, leading the director and others to call him a 'freak'.

I wonder what kind of spirit a freak like me can awaken? Standing in the six-pointed star array, Qin Yu felt his anticipation for his spirit grow stronger.

Not just him, but the other children were also very curious about Qin Yu's spirit.

After all, quite a few of them had been put in their place by Qin Yu; with his small fists and great strength, taking even a single hit had them crying bitterly from the pain.

This child should be the freak Qin Yu that Director Xiangyang mentioned.

Looking at Qin Yu, Su Yuntao thought to himself, With natural divine strength since childhood, I imagine he has an extraordinary beast spirit concealed within his body.

"Hum!"

Under everyone's gaze, the six-pointed star array lit up with a dazzling light, and light-blue light particles scrambled to drill into Qin Yu's body.

Qin Yu only felt his body grow faintly hot and his blood churn, as though it were boiling.

This sensation was extremely uncomfortable.

"Hiss!" Qin Yu drew in a sharp breath, inwardly puzzled: Is spirit awakening always this painful?

"Hm?" Noticing Qin Yu's expression, Su Yuntao was momentarily stunned. What's going on? Spirit awakening shouldn't be this painful.

He instinctively wanted to investigate, and had even prepared to forcefully interrupt the process.

However, a terrifying aura suddenly leaked out from within Qin Yu's body, causing Su Yuntao to freeze completely in place.

"Boom—"

At that moment, a roar echoed from within Qin Yu.

The sound was so loud that it directly startled the major powerhouses of Spirit Hall.

Inside the Papal Hall, the exquisitely beautiful woman currently handling paperwork raised her head, her purple eyes flashing as her sight pierced through the hall and landed on the plaza.

It was not just the Papal Hall; even the powerhouses in the Elder Hall and Douluo Hall subconsciously looked toward the plaza.

From far away in the Worship Hall, a middle-aged man radiating a light attribute narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself, "The aura of destruction..."

Following that, his figure disappeared.

Vanishing along with him were several other auras within the Worship Hall.

In merely a moment, the major powerhouses of Spirit Hall tacitly gathered at the plaza, hiding in the shadows and quietly watching Qin Yu below.

"The aura is gone?"

Suddenly, they discovered that the trace of destructive aura on Qin Yu's body had vanished.

All the powerhouses stared at Qin Yu, looking him up and down.

None of them noticed that a flash of silver-white light flickered at the center of Qin Yu's brows.

Gradually, everything returned to calm.

Qin Yu also felt the pain in his body rapidly receding, and a power similar to the previous aura rose up.

The difference was that the destructive aura carried by this power was far inferior to that previous trace.

"Roar—"

Along with a sonorous roar, a dark purple giant dragon phantom enshrouded in destructive aura emerged behind Qin Yu.

Every scale of the giant dragon emitted a destructive aura, its wings seemed to flash with black holes, and its pupils appeared a deep purple, revealing a bit of majesty and tyranny.

The next moment, illusory dark purple dragon scales faintly emerged from Qin Yu's right arm to his neck, and his pair of purple eyes also became darker and more indifferent.

The aura of destruction permeated the air.

"It's actually a Dragon martial soul!" Su Yuntao watched Qin Yu's changes, his face full of doubt. "However, what kind of dragon is this?"

Having lived for so many years, it was his first time seeing this kind of Dragon martial soul.

With its full-body destructive aura, even the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, which claimed to be 'number one under heaven', could not match the tyrannical intent of the dark purple giant dragon before him.

Su Yuntao did not recognize this giant dragon, but the major powerhouses hiding in the shadows were different.

"Purple Brilliant Heaven Destroying Dragon!"

Quite a few powerhouses recognized the identity of this giant dragon.

According to the ancient texts of Spirit Hall, the Purple Brilliant Heaven Destroying Dragon was a descendant of the ancestor of Sub-Dragons, possessing an extremely strong destruction attribute.

However, the ancient texts only recorded the dragon race, and never recorded any Soul Master in history who used the Purple Brilliant Heaven Destroying Dragon as a martial soul.

Qin Yu was the first in history!

Seeing Qin Yu awaken the Purple Brilliant Heaven Destroying Dragon, the many powerhouses instantly harbored other thoughts in their hearts.

"Child, test your Innate Soul Power. Put your hand on the crystal ball." Su Yuntao smiled slightly, his gaze looking at Qin Yu full of gratification.

Although he did not recognize this Dragon martial soul, judging by its aura, it was definitely extraordinary.

Perhaps Qin Yu was a rare case of Innate Full Soul Power?

Facts proved that Su Yuntao guessed correctly.
