"Our family's Martial Soul is the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex with a bloodline of light."
"Your brother has led you in physical training and cultivation for two years. Your physical strength and spiritual power far surpass those of your peers."
"Martial Soul quality isn't the only factor that affects innate Soul Power. A soul master's innate strength can also affect innate Soul Power."
"Both your Martial Souls might be the Holy Dragon of Light. At worst, they'll be Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rexes with a bloodline of light."
Mu En smiled as he looked into Bei Bei's eyes, brimming with a thirst for knowledge. He wasn't worried in the slightest about his two great-great-grandsons' Martial Souls.
"All right, I want to awaken my Martial Soul first!"
After hearing Mu En's explanation, Bei Bei was thrilled, a blush rising on his little face.
Mu Changqing already had an idea of what his Martial Soul would be. There was an eighty percent chance it would be the Holy Dragon of Light. All the preparations he had made over the past three years had been for this very day.
Watching Bei Bei's happy expression, Zhang Lexuan felt warmth in her heart too, and they exchanged a smile.
With Mu En leading them, the four soon arrived at the awakening room next door.
The awakening room wasn't large. An awakening formation was laid out on the floor, with a crystal ball for testing Soul Power in front of it.
Bei Bei was the first to walk into the center of the awakening formation, waiting for Mu En to help him awaken his Martial Soul.
"Bei Bei, relax your body in a moment!"
Mu Changqing took the walking stick from Mu En's hand. Mu En released his Martial Soul, the Holy Dragon of Light, and the phantom of an enormous platinum dragon appeared behind him.
Mu En's entire presence changed. He was no longer a decrepit old man. This was Dragon God Douluo Mu En.
Dazzling light filled the awakening room, flooding it with light elements. Mu Changqing felt as though he was about to be blinded. Fortunately, Zhang Lexuan blocked most of the light for him, allowing him to see clearly.
Bei Bei felt warmth inside his body. Light elements flowed through his meridians, and he felt something inside him about to burst out.
"Roar!!!"
A piercing dragon's roar suddenly rang out.
Bei Bei opened his right palm, and a dragon slowly appeared. Fine, closely packed dragon scales covered its entire body, which was platinum in color.
The dragon horns atop its head were crystal clear, carrying a powerful presence of light and holiness.
"This is... the Holy Dragon of Light!" Zhang Lexuan exclaimed in surprise.
Bei Bei had perfectly inherited Mu En's Holy Dragon of Light, rather than a Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex with a bloodline of light.
After seeing Bei Bei's Martial Soul, Mu En couldn't help feeling relieved. A radiant smile appeared on his face as he rejoiced for Bei Bei.
Since Bei Bei's Martial Soul was the Holy Dragon of Light, Mu Changqing's Martial Soul was very likely to be the Holy Dragon of Light too. Not only did Mu En have someone who could perfectly inherit his mantle.
As long as Bei Bei and Mu Changqing didn't die young, his lineage would surely produce two Limit Douluos in the future. Just thinking about it made Mu En happy enough to die.
"Little brother, test your innate Soul Power."
At some point, Mu Changqing had run over to the crystal ball. He picked it up and held it in front of Bei Bei.
There was no need to think about it. With the Holy Dragon of Light as his Martial Soul, Bei Bei's innate Soul Power was bound to be at full rank.
Still, to let Bei Bei enjoy himself a little, they had to test his Soul Power.
Bei Bei withdrew the Holy Dragon of Light Martial Soul into his body and pressed his little hand against the crystal ball's surface.
The instant he touched it, the crystal ball erupted with brilliant light that filled every corner.
"Great! Haha! I really do have innate full Soul Power!"
Watching the crystal ball erupt with brilliant light, Bei Bei laughed happily and quickly ran over to Zhang Lexuan.
Zhang Lexuan was in high spirits too. She gathered Bei Bei into her arms and rubbed her cheek against his.
"Changqing, it's your turn to awaken your Martial Soul!"
Happy as Mu En was, he immediately focused on helping Mu Changqing awaken his Martial Soul. Zhang Lexuan and Bei Bei also watched quietly from the side.
Mu Changqing stepped into the awakening formation, and Mu En once again manifested his Martial Soul, the Holy Dragon of Light.
Mu En poured Soul Power into Mu Changqing's body. Golden light spread from Mu Changqing's entire body as it frantically absorbed the Soul Power.
A spacetime rift appeared above the Golden Ancient Tree.
A blue fragment of divine consciousness carrying the Golden Dragon King's seals burst out of the spacetime rift.
He was none other than Tang San, the strand of divine consciousness created to protect Tang Wulin.
To keep Tang Wulin safe, he had exhausted most of his divine power sending Tang Wulin out of the spacetime rift.
He himself had departed from Tang Wulin's original spacetime and accidentally arrived in this one.
Tang San sensed a force drawing him in, and he slipped into Mu Changqing's Sea of Spirit.
"Holy shit! How did I get into my Sea of Spirit?"
Mu Changqing found it strange. He had been awakening his Martial Soul when his head had grown dizzy. When he opened his eyes again, he was in his Spirit Sea.
At that moment, Mu Changqing saw a blue figure in his Sea of Spirit, and their eyes met.
Tang San's divine consciousness was somewhat muddled at the moment, and he mistook Mu Changqing for Tang Wulin.
Tang San marveled at how strong his child's body and spiritual power were. His Martial Soul was also a powerful dragon-type Martial Soul.
Tang San didn't think much more about it. His divine consciousness was about to fall into a long slumber.
"Wulin, you can call me Old Tang!"
Tang San looked at Mu Changqing and spoke in a weak voice.
Mu Changqing stared at Tang San, utterly dumbfounded.
*???*
Holy shit, could Buddha Lord Tang have set me up ahead of time?!
Mu Changqin reconsidered. Perhaps Tang San had been protecting Tang Wulin in the spacetime rift and happened to fall into this spacetime, then happened to mistake him for Tang Wulin.
Since the future Buddha Lord Tang had delivered a cheat to him, he could only reluctantly accept it.
Tang San understood Mu Changqing's expression. Who wouldn't react like that when someone appeared in their Sea of Spirit for no reason?
"Wulin, your physical strength and spiritual power are fully sufficient to absorb the Golden Dragon King's first seal. I'll undo it for you."
"Remember, before you turn twelve, prepare one hundred-year-old Ice Crystal Fruit, one hundred-year-old Crimson Flame Fruit, and ten drops of blood from a hundred-year-old Soul Beast with a dragon bloodline."
"Otherwise, you risk your body exploding and dying. Do you remember?"
After helping Mu Changqing undo the Golden Dragon King's first seal, Tang San left him with a few instructions, then turned entirely into a ball of light and slipped into the depths of the Sea of Spirit, falling asleep.
Mu Changqing nodded at the ball of light Tang San had become.
"Even if Changqing's Martial Soul is the Holy Dragon of Light, why hasn't its phantom appeared after so long?"
Outside, Mu En frowned as he watched the ball of light inside the awakening formation. By now, he had poured in a vast amount of Soul Power.
"Sister Lexuan, will my brother be all right?"
Watching Mu Changqing within the ball of light, Bei Bei grew worried.
"He'll be fine. Don't worry."
Zhang Lexuan was growing worried too. She hoped everything would be all right with Mu Changqing.
"Aaaaaaah-"
As the Golden Dragon King's first seal was undone, pain that carved itself into his heart and bones made Mu Changqing scream in agony.
Mu Changqing had expected pain, but not this much. Blood began flowing from all seven of his orifices.
