"How could you be unable to summon your martial soul?" Xiong Jun was the first to disbelieve it. "Could something have gone wrong when you took human form?"
The Myriad Demon King and the Scarlet King exchanged a glance, each seeing the confusion in the other's eyes.
Bi Ji and Zi JI were more direct. They instantly appeared beside Jin Jiuxiao and examined him from head to toe.
"Nothing's wrong..." Zi JI spoke first.
Bi Ji frowned. "This shouldn't happen. Every step was correct. By all rights, this situation shouldn't have occurred."
All of them, mighty ferocious beasts, had been watching.
It wasn't as though they had never seen Soul Beast Humanization.
Jin Jiuxiao had followed every step correctly, yet now he couldn't summon his martial soul.
"Jiuxiao, do you feel any discomfort?" Bi Ji crouched down, rested both hands on Jin Jiuxiao's shoulders, and looked at him worriedly.
Jin Jiuxiao shook his head slightly. "Big Sister Bi Ji, I'm fine."
Di Tian also walked slowly to Jin Jiuxiao's side. "Jiuxiao, are you certain you can't summon your martial soul?"
"Yes, Uncle Di Tian."
Di Tian considered it for a moment. "I do have another theory."
As soon as Di Tian said this, the other ferocious beasts turned toward him, waiting for him to continue.
"Compared to us, Jiuxiao is more unusual."
The other ferocious beasts nodded, acknowledging that point.
Jin Jiuxiao was indeed different from ordinary soul beasts.
Di Tian paused, then continued, "Perhaps we need to help Jiuxiao awaken his martial soul."
Bi Ji quickly caught on. "Beast God, do you mean... the martial soul awakening ceremony humans use?"
"Exactly." Di Tian acted as soon as the thought struck him. He produced some black Awakening Stones from somewhere and began preparing the awakening site.
Naturally, Di Tian had studied humans.
These Awakening Stones were little trinkets left over from back then.
Who knew how many years they had spent gathering dust?
He hadn't expected to have a use for them now.
"Hiss... will this work?" Xiong Jun clicked his tongue in wonder. "Soul Beast Humanization still needs a separate martial soul awakening? Heh, now that's a rarity."
Di Tian glanced at him. "We'll know whether it works once we try."
Jin Jiuxiao was also puzzled about why this had happened to him.
Could it be because of the unusual nature of my transmigration?
Soon, Di Tian finished setting up the awakening formation. "Jiuxiao, stand in the center."
Hearing Di Tian's instruction, Jin Jiuxiao stepped into the center of the awakening formation without hesitation.
Di Tian poured soul power into the Awakening Stones, and specks of golden light rose from the formation stones.
They drifted toward Jin Jiuxiao, who stood in the center of the awakening formation.
Jin Jiuxiao closed his eyes and focused inward as a warm current flowed through his limbs and every part of his body.
There it is.
In an instant, heaven and earth changed color.
Lightning flashed and thunder roared.
When thunder rolled through the dark clouds, when lightning illuminated the earth.
I come with the storm, bringing the wrath of the gods!
Yellow-and-silver armor covered his entire body.
His pauldrons were broad, and faint Thunder God patterns adorned his breastplate.
Enormous wings of radiant lightning, formed from countless flowing bolts, unfurled behind him.
And there was that signature spiky golden hair.
Rey's phantom gradually solidified, towering behind Jin Jiuxiao.
"A martial soul awakening... can even cause a phenomenon in heaven and earth?" Xiong Jun really didn't know much about how humans awakened their martial souls.
Di Tian, on the other hand, knew a great deal. "Only an exceptionally powerful martial soul can stir changes in heaven and earth during its awakening and produce such a phenomenon."
The appearance of such a phenomenon during his martial soul awakening lent further credibility to Jin Jiuxiao's account.
Jin Jiuxiao truly was a God Level spirit from another world.
According to him, he even seemed to be a Thunder God with tremendous offensive power?
As Di Tian understood it, in the title Thunder God Rey, Thunder God was his divine rank, while Rey was his name.
Then Jin Jiuxiao's martial soul was Rey.
Combined with this phenomenon in heaven and earth during his awakening, he undoubtedly had the makings of a god!
"Hm?" Just then, Di Tian suddenly noticed that the awakening ceremony hadn't stopped.
He continued pouring soul power into the Awakening Stones.
Another cluster of golden light blossomed in Jin Jiuxiao's right hand.
"A second martial soul?!" Even Di Tian froze for a moment.
This... isn't right, is it?
What Soul Beast Humanization needed an awakening, let alone awakened twin martial souls?
Was that a... capsule?
Another thing I've never seen before.
Only after the awakening ceremony ended did Jin Jiuxiao slowly open his eyes. "Twin martial souls... this isn't right..."
Zi JI heard Jin Jiuxiao's muttering. "We were about to ask you the same thing. What Soul Beast Humanization needs a separate martial soul awakening?"
"And you even awakened twin martial souls. This really is bizarre."
Bi Ji checked Jin Jiuxiao's condition again. "He's perfectly healthy. It looks like a good thing."
Di Tian also spoke. "It certainly is. This means Jiuxiao has even greater potential. You could say he's certain to become a god in the future."
"But this second martial soul..."
"It doesn't look like it has much combat power. Could it be a special support-type martial soul?"
Jin Jiuxiao shook his head. "This second martial soul of mine... is very unusual."
"You could consider it a support-type martial soul, but that isn't entirely accurate."
"It's a special-type martial soul."
Jin Jiuxiao withdrew his Rei Martial Soul into his body, then raised his right hand to display his second martial soul. "My second martial soul is called the Poké Ball."
After awakening his martial souls, he had learned the details and uses of this second martial soul.
"The Poké Ball is different from other martial souls. I can't actively attach soul rings to it."
"Also, it has one and only one soul skill-capture, contract, summon."
"I can form contracts with other living beings, turn them into my spirits, and store them inside the Poké Ball."
"The contracted being's cultivation corresponds to the soul ring's age."
It was Di Tian's first time seeing such a strange martial soul, and he couldn't help asking, "Does this Poké Ball of yours capture beings by force?"
"It can, provided I defeat them personally. That's the first method of capture."
"The second is to form a contract with them. That also allows them to become my spirits."
"Those I defeat and capture enter a master-servant relationship with me. They are compelled to obey my orders and remain absolutely loyal."
"Forming a contract is different. Both parties are equal, and either can choose to terminate it."
The Myriad Demon King clapped his hands, his eyes shining. "Is there a limit to how many you can capture?"
"It increases as my cultivation rises. I gain one more slot every ten levels."
"I don't know whether the limit will disappear after I become a god."
The Myriad Demon King chuckled. "Then doesn't that mean that if you possess God Level strength and defeat those gods in the Divine Realm, you can capture them outright?"
At the Myriad Demon King's reminder, Di Tian's eyes lit up too.
"Yes. Provided I defeat them."
Di Tian couldn't stop the corners of his mouth from rising. "It doesn't have to be a one-on-one fight with both sides at full strength, does it?"
"Of course not. I just have to beat my opponent to the brink of death."
That was the Poké Ball's capture condition. If he beat his opponent to the brink of death, leaving them utterly unable to resist, he could forcibly capture them and make them acknowledge him as their master.
Jin Jiuxiao continued, "Also, the Poké Ball has an innate effect."
"No matter how severe their injuries, as long as they aren't dead, they'll recover completely twenty-four hours after I store them in the Poké Ball."
"Contracted spirits can also benefit from this effect."
Just then, Zi JI's voice suddenly rang out. "Little Brother Jiuxiao, why don't you try forming a contract with your big sister here?"
Before you continue
