The Flaw of the Light Feather Divine Bow Martial Soul

Douluo Continent, Spirit City, Pope's Palace.

Inside the Worship Hall.

Qian Daoliu and the other Seven Great High Priests were gathered together.

"Guang Ling!"

"Old Fifth!"

"That child is the last surviving member of your lineage besides you. Are you really going to watch him Awaken Martial Soul and walk the path of a Soul Master, only to ultimately follow in their footsteps?"

"Letting that child live as an ordinary person and enjoy a lifetime of wealth and glory would not be such a bad thing!"

Third Offering Qing Luan Douluo's voice echoed through the grand hall.

Guang Ling Douluo sighed inwardly, utterly helpless. "I don't want that either, but Guang Yu is incredibly eager to become a Soul Master!"

"Even if I stop him today, he will certainly find another chance to Awaken Martial Soul and cultivate."

Qian Daoliu said majestically, "In that case, let him do as he wishes."

"But Guang Ling, you should tell him of the predicament facing your Light Feather Divine Bow lineage. If he still insists on becoming a Soul Master, then whether he lives or dies in the future will be his own fate."

"Guang Ling... understands."

Guang Ling nodded and slowly left the Worship Hall.

He arrived at a side courtyard near the Worship Hall.

At that moment, within the courtyard.

A six-year-old child with short silver hair, fair skin, and an adorably handsome face that bore a seventy percent resemblance to Guang Ling Douluo.

Was holding a bow and arrow, slowly drawing the bowstring as he aimed at the target before him.

His little hand released.

Whoosh!

The arrow shot out instantly, striking the bullseye with precision and force.

The young maid beside him, dressed in a maid outfit and white stockings, said happily, "Young Master Guang Yu is amazing! You can already hit the target every time from a hundred meters away!"

He was Guang Yu, the one the Worship Elders had been discussing.

The last remaining member of the Light Feather Divine Bow lineage besides Guang Ling Douluo.

Guang Yu's grandfather had been Guang Ling Douluo's biological older brother, so by seniority, Guang Ling Douluo was Guang Yu's granduncle.

Guang Ling Douluo was also Guang Yu's only remaining blood relative in this world.

He looked at the bow in his hand. No matter how skilled my archery is, it is only the icing on the cake. In this world, only powerful talent truly matters!

"I'll be Awakening Martial Soul soon."

"If nothing unexpected happens, I'll awaken the same top-tier Weapon Martial Soul as Granduncle: the Light Feather Divine Bow, which possesses both ice and light attributes."

"The higher the quality of a Martial Soul, the higher its minimum Innate Soul Power will be. But that does not mean I can have the same top-tier talent as Granduncle."

"I hope that after Awakening Martial Soul, I can have Innate Soul Power Level 8 or higher."

Guang Yu was also a transmigrator and was well acquainted with the world of Douluo Continent.

As long as he had Innate Soul Power Level 8, with his understanding of this world and the backing of Spirit Hall, he was still very confident that he could become a top-tier powerhouse in the future.

He gathered his thoughts and prepared to fire another arrow.

At that moment, a very youthful voice sounded behind him. "Little Yu Yu."

Guang Yu turned around.

He saw a youth dressed in a light gray robe. His left arm had been completely eroded by ice, taking on an icy form, while his left eye was also covered in frost and snow. He was exceptionally handsome, yet somewhat adorable.

He was Spirit Hall's Fifth Offering, the Level 96 peak-ranked Guang Ling Douluo.

At times, Guang Yu found it hard to believe that this granduncle of his, who felt so much like a teenager, was already ninety years old.

"Granduncle, you're here."

Guang Yu smiled, but his smile quickly froze.

Because the expression on Guang Ling Douluo's face was more grave than Guang Yu had ever seen before.

Something was wrong!

Normally, Guang Ling Douluo was like a child—prone to little tantrums, playful, proud, and tsundere. He rarely wore such an expression.

Guang Ling Douluo stood before Guang Yu, directly raising his arm and pulling up his sleeve to reveal his left arm, which had been completely eroded by ice. "Little Yu Yu, I don't think I've ever told you why my left arm and left eye became like this."

"Today, I'll tell you."

"Our lineage possesses the top-tier ice-light attribute Weapon Martial Soul, the Light Feather Divine Bow. But this Martial Soul has a serious flaw."

"It causes Martial Soul Backfire!"

Guang Yu's expression turned solemn at those words.

Guang Ling Douluo took a deep breath and continued, "Once the Light Feather Divine Bow Martial Soul is awakened, the backfire begins. Our bodies will gradually be eroded and frozen by ice, and the stronger our Martial Soul cultivation becomes, the faster the erosion progresses."

"It begins with the arm, then spreads to the body, until the ice reaches our hearts."

"The heart stops beating, and we eventually die."

"My brother, your grandfather, and your father all died after being eroded by their own Martial Souls."

"They did not even live past thirty."

Memories of the past flooded Guang Ling Douluo's mind. As he spoke, his emotions clearly began to slip out of control.

"And I only survived by sheer luck after Nine Deaths, One Life. In the end, I broke through to the Titled Douluo realm, suppressed the Martial Soul Backfire, and continued cultivating to this day."

"Granduncle..."

Guang Yu's expression also shifted from solemn to heavy.

He had already sensed what Guang Ling Douluo was going to say next.

"Little Yu Yu, you are my last relative in this world. If you Awaken Martial Soul and embark on the path of a Soul Master, your fate may very well be the same as theirs."

"I don't want you to die." Guang Ling Douluo's voice choked slightly as he continued, "If you are willing to be an ordinary person, I can let you enjoy a lifetime of wealth and glory, keep you safe for your entire life, and ensure that no one dares bully you."

"But your life should be decided by you."

"Whether you Awaken Martial Soul or not, I will respect your choice."

"A lifetime of wealth and glory, a lifetime of peace... If I become an ordinary person, can I live until I die of old age?"

Guang Yu knew Spirit Hall's ending, and he also knew Guang Ling Douluo's ending.

His granduncle would die horribly in the end.

Guang Yu did not want them to repeat the same tragedy.

Although if they simply went and dealt with Tang San now, Spirit Hall would basically be able to unify the continent in this life.

But if he were merely an ordinary person, he would have no say at all and no right to interfere in Spirit Hall's affairs.

Would they listen if he told them what to do?

Even if Guang Yu, as an ordinary person, could help Spirit Hall unify the continent.

But since he had come to this world, he was truly unwilling to live as nothing more than an ordinary person!

"Granduncle, I've made up my mind. Even if my heart is ultimately frozen and I die, I still want to embark on the path of a Soul Master." After a moment of silence, Guang Yu made his choice, his gaze incomparably resolute.

Guang Ling Douluo sighed inwardly, as though he had long expected this outcome.

He deliberately put on a relaxed expression. "Ah, honestly, I really can't do anything about you!"

"Fine, then go to the Awakening Hall. This year's Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony is about to begin as well."

"Mm, then I'm going, Granduncle."

As he watched Guang Yu's departing figure, a trace of loneliness and worry flashed through Guang Ling Douluo's eyes.

"Alas..."

He silently followed after him.
