Yu Xiaogang's Regret, Du Busi's Excitement, and the Second Awakening of a Body Martial Soul!

Qian Renxue looked surprised. "So that's what happened to Yu Xiaogang? He actually had a chance to become a Radiant Sacred Dragon?"

At that, she shook her head, her voice tinged with regret.

"Unfortunately, he couldn't seize it and became trash."

The spectators in the Douluo I world were stunned, crying out in surprise.

"So the Radiant Sacred Dragon came from a mutation of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. Looks like the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon really does deserve its reputation as the number one Beast Martial Soul!"

"So Yu Xiaogang's Martial Soul came from a mutation of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon! He's actually from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan? How come I've never heard of him?"

"Falling from a chance at becoming a Radiant Sacred Dragon to a Trash Martial Soul with an innate half level of Soul Power-that's one hell of a fall!"

"Innate half level? Trash Martial Soul? No wonder he spends all day bragging about his bullshit theories. So he was trying to use theory to make up for his Martial Soul's defects!"

On a main road in Heaven Dou, Yu Xiaogang limped slowly forward, rubbing his backside, which ached from his fall, while cursing and berating the scrawny horse that had thrown him.

When he heard Mu Sheng's words on the sky screen, he stopped dead. The hand rubbing his backside froze in midair, and he stood rooted in the middle of the road as though a binding spell had been cast on him.

Radiant Sacred Dragon, Golden Sacred Dragon!!!

His Martial Soul had once had a chance to become a Radiant Sacred Dragon, a Golden Sacred Dragon?!

"Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon... Clan... I had a chance like that, so why... why did I end up with Pig Luo?"

Yu Xiaogang buried his face in his hands, his shoulders trembling slightly. It was impossible to tell whether he was crying or laughing.

A long while later, he lowered his hands. The stubborn expression had returned to his face, and he continued limping forward, muttering to himself:

"It doesn't matter... If my Martial Soul falls short, theory can make up for it. Even without a Radiant Sacred Dragon, I, Yu Xiaogang, can still teach someone to become a god! Isn't Tang San the best proof?"

On the sky screen, after Qian Renxue finished expressing her feelings about Yu Xiaogang, she suddenly remembered something and turned to Huo Yuhao.

"Little Hao, you only had innate level one Soul Power. Was yours also a harmful mutation?"

Huo Yuhao's expression turned bitter. He lowered his head and clenched his fists, his voice muffled.

"Probably... Innate level one isn't much different from a Trash Martial Soul."

Huo Yuhao spoke with a resigned calm, as though he had long since grown accustomed to that fact.

Mu Sheng shook his head. "No. Little Hao's case is the same as Yu Xiaogang's. A beneficial mutation turned into a harmful one."

Tang Ya tilted her head in confusion. "Yu Xiaogang's was because of his body. Could it be the same for Yuhao?"

Huo Yuhao tensed all over at Tang Ya's question. He instinctively looked at Mu Sheng, unable to hide the anxiety and fear in his eyes, terrified that Mu Sheng would reveal his background the moment he opened his mouth.

The Duke's Mansion, his mother, that person-he wasn't ready to let so many people know about them.

Mu Sheng glanced at Huo Yuhao, his gaze lingering for a moment on his tense face, then spoke calmly.

"Yes. Little Hao was bullied for a long time, suffered from malnutrition, and his foundation was depleted. That's why he only had innate level one Soul Power when his Martial Soul awakened."

"Under normal circumstances, his Innate Soul Power would probably have been level six or seven."

Huo Yuhao breathed a deep sigh of relief, his clenched fists slowly opening.

Fortunately, Brother Sheng hadn't revealed his background.

But after that sigh of relief, a deeper hatred surged up from the bottom of his heart.

Bullied for a long time, malnutrition, a depleted foundation-those words pierced his heart like needles.

The White Tiger Duke's Mansion, his dear father, his dear eldest brother, and that high-and-mighty duchess.

Just you wait. With Brother Sky Dream's help, I'll make you regret everything you did before.

Anger flared across Qian Renxue's face when she heard this, and she turned to Huo Yuhao.

"Little Hao, who bullied you? Tell the sect master, and I'll take you to get revenge right now!"

As she spoke, the presence of a Peak Soul King swept out from her, golden Soul Power faintly circulating around her body. By the look of her, she would charge off to kill them the moment Yuhao told her.

People in the Douluo I world and the Douluo II animated world also began to voice their feelings.

"A talent for innate level six or seven, bullied all the way down to innate level one? That's just too tragic!"

"Who could be so utterly deranged? They wouldn't even spare a child?"

"That child Yuhao has had such a bitter life. Fortunately, he met the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Qian Renxue. He's finally come through the worst of it."

In the Douluo II animated world, at the Body Sect.

Du Busi sat in the sect master's hall, staring at Huo Yuhao's face on the sky screen, his eyes narrowing more and more.

With a talent for innate level six or seven and a million-year Wisdom Soul Ring as his First Soul Ring, the boy's future accomplishments would probably be well above even Long Aotian's.

He slammed a hand on the armrest, stood up, and shouted toward the outside of the hall, "Someone!"

A disciple hurried in. "What are your orders, Sect Master?"

"Pass down my orders. Every disciple in the sect is to go out and search for a blue-haired youth named Huo Yuhao. His Innate Soul Power was level one, his Martial Soul is his eyes, and he has the Mental Attribute. Once you find him, invite him back courteously. Don't treat him disrespectfully!"

Du Busi paused, then added, "I'll personally make a trip to the Heaven Dou Empire's royal family and ask them to help with the search!"

Before he had even finished speaking, Du Busi turned into a streak of light and sped toward the Heavenly Soul Royal Family.

On the sky screen, Huo Yuhao was deeply moved by Qian Renxue's words.

But then he reconsidered. Qian Renxue's cultivation was only at the Soul Emperor level for now, while the White Tiger Duke was a Titled Douluo. Going after him for revenge would be like throwing an egg against a rock.

He hurriedly shook his head.

"Sister Xue, there's no need. I'll settle my own affairs. When I grow stronger, I'll kill him with my own hands."

Qian Renxue looked at Huo Yuhao's resolute face and sighed helplessly.

"All right, then. But if you have a problem, you can come to me anytime. I'll back you up."

Huo Yuhao nodded hard at Qian Renxue. "Yes! Thank you, Sister Xue! I'll remember that!"

Qian Renxue patted his shoulder and said no more, though the fiercely protective look in her eyes hadn't completely faded.

Seeing that the mood had grown a little heavy, Tang Ya came over and patted Huo Yuhao on the back, speaking in a cheerful tone.

"Little Yuhao, don't lose heart. I've heard that a Body Martial Soul can undergo a Second Awakening. If you make it through successfully, your Martial Soul will undergo a major change and become much stronger than before."

Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up. "Really? Then how do I get a Second Awakening?"

Tang Ya's smile froze for a moment. She scratched the back of her head awkwardly. "I only know it exists... I don't know how to do it either."

She turned to Mu Sheng, passing the question off to him as though it were only natural. "Let's ask Brother Sheng. He'll definitely know."

Huo Yuhao, Qian Renxue, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, and even Tang Ya herself all looked at Mu Sheng.

Mu Sheng helplessly pinched Tang Ya's soft little cheek, gathered his thoughts, and spoke.

"To put it simply, the Second Awakening of a Body Martial Soul means allowing the Martial Soul and the Soul Master's body to undergo a deeper fusion."

"By the time an ordinary Soul Master cultivates to the level of a Titled Douluo, the compatibility between their Martial Soul and body is already very high. But a Body Martial Soul is different. It's already part of the body, so in theory, it can fuse completely with it."

"The Second Awakening is the process of taking a major step in that direction."

Huo Yuhao listened intently and couldn't help asking, "Then what exactly do I have to do to trigger a Second Awakening?"
