"Yu Tianxin, Martial Soul: Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, Innate Soul Power: level nine!"
In the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's square, the annual Martial Soul Awakening ceremony was underway.
As far as the eye could see, the square was packed with people.
Everyone craned their necks, their gazes fixed on the awakening ceremony.
The clan elder's announcement immediately drew cheers from the clansmen around him.
It had been many years since someone with Innate Soul Power above level eight had appeared in the clan!
"As expected of the clan leader's direct descendant. There's hope for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon's revival!"
"With Yu Tianxin's talent, he's bound to become a Titled Douluo someday. Then our clan will have two Titled Douluo!"
"That's right! The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's two Titled Douluo both have different surnames. Let's see who still says we can't compare to the Clear Sky Sect then!"
"..."
The clansmen watching were all fired up, as if they could already see the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's future glory.
"Congratulations. Next, Yu Tianheng."
The elder in charge of the Martial Soul Awakening was smiling so broadly that his eyes had narrowed.
By the time of the next sect competition, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon might even become the continent's number one sect.
Hearing his name, Yu Tianheng couldn't help the slight curl of his lips.
"Finally, it's my turn."
No one knew that Yu Tianheng was actually a transmigrator.
In his previous life, he had been trapped in a 007 work schedule, living a fate worse than death every day.
Prolonged physical exhaustion had caused him to bid the world farewell in his sleep.
When he woke again, he was back in the womb.
After spending the past few years figuring things out, he had come to understand his situation.
He seemed to have transmigrated into the world of Douluo Continent.
As a seasoned bookworm in his previous life, Yu Tianheng was intimately familiar with the story's plot.
He also knew full well that, in just a few years,
the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would be wiped out under siege by Spirit Hall.
Even the position of sect master would end up in the hands of that waste, Yu Xiaogang.
Yu Tianheng, the original owner of the body he had transmigrated into, could be considered a genius of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
But compared with those cheaters, the Shrek Seven Devils, he still fell a little short.
Even in the end, he had only reached level 89.
He had never even touched the realm of a Titled Douluo.
When he thought of Tang San's deeds:
"Soul Beast, you already have a way to die!"
Yu Xiaogang was nowhere to be found in the Divine Realm.
Cousin Chenxiang turned to flying ash.
All that hypocritical conduct, waving the banner of justice while practicing double standards.
Someone like that had actually earned the Sea God's approval and ascended to the Divine Realm in the end.
Yu Tianheng felt ten million kinds of discomfort.
Wasn't that obviously the protagonist's halo?
"No, I have to find a chance to change the outcome of the sect's destruction, as well as my own fate."
Yu Tianheng muttered to himself and headed toward the ceremonial altar.
He had no desire to be reduced to dry bones a hundred years from now!
Then, just as he took his first step, an utterly mechanical voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
[Ding-dong! The host's desire to change the world has been detected as strong. God-Level Summation System activated!]
"System?"
Yu Tianheng was startled, and his steps came to a halt.
His golden finger as a transmigrator had finally arrived!
Suppressing his excitement, Yu Tianheng silently asked,
God-Level Summation System, what do you do?
[Ding! The host may designate a clan to bind with and perform summation on its Martial Souls, Soul Bones, Soul Rings, and more. Each separate category has a chance of producing a qualitative change.] [The host can earn contribution points by developing the clan. The number of contribution points earned will vary according to the degree of development. Once the contribution points reach a certain level, the system will randomly select a category for summation.] [For categories that have already undergone summation, the clansmen's growth will also be fed back to the host.] [...]
By the time the system finished explaining, Yu Tianheng's excitement had reached an unimaginable pitch.
As the clan grew stronger, he could grow stronger too.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had around two thousand members.
If each person's Soul Power increased just a little, added together across two thousand people,
the total would be absolutely terrifying.
Quantitative change led to qualitative change.
Not to mention there were so many categories.
This was simply beyond Yu Tianheng's imagination.
Wasn't this clearly meant to let him lead the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to the peak of the continent?
That wasn't all. The system continued.
[Ding! The system has been bound for the first time. Congratulations, host, you have received one free random summation opportunity.] [Host, please choose whether to perform summation.]
Without the slightest hesitation, Yu Tianheng chose yes.
Anyone who turned down an opportunity like this was a fool.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained a Martial Soul summation!] [Performing Martial Soul summation.]
The next second, wisps of flowing light that only Yu Tianheng could see emerged from countless Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clansmen. After converging, the wisps flowed straight into his body.
But in the eyes of the clansmen around him, his behavior meant something else entirely.
"Why is Yu Tianheng moving so slowly? He's acting strangely."
"Could he be worried something will go wrong with his Martial Soul Awakening?"
"How could it? How could anything go wrong with a direct descendant of the clan leader..."
The once-confident words stopped abruptly there.
After all, there really had been a precedent for a direct descendant being a good-for-nothing in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's history.
But Yu Tianheng didn't hear a word of the noisy discussion.
The only thing in his mind was what the system had just said.
"You can do it, Tian Heng!"
"That's right, we believe in you!"
"Just relax. There's no need to rush!"
"..."
The clansmen watching from below the platform called out one after another to encourage Yu Tianheng.
By the time Yu Tianheng reached the ceremonial platform,
the system's voice sounded right on cue.
[Ding! The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's Martial Soul summation is complete. Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Martial Soul: Thunder Dragon King!] [Obtained the Ultimate Lightning attribute and an innate domain-the Thunder God Domain!]
"Thunder Dragon King? What kind of Martial Soul is that? Thunder God Domain?"
Yu Tianheng muttered under his breath.
The elder, who had initially been preparing to help Yu Tianheng awaken his Martial Soul according to procedure, suddenly froze.
How strange. Why did he feel an inexplicable pressure?
As the Martial Soul Awakening began,
the wind and clouds between heaven and earth suddenly changed.
The brilliantly clear sky was instantly blanketed by rolling black clouds.
Deep within the heavy clouds, muffled peals of thunder rumbled one after another.
Dazzling lightning lit up the entire square in intermittent flashes.
The crowd, so boisterous just moments ago, fell silent.
Everyone stared blankly at the scene.
The near-apocalyptic sight had robbed them of the ability to think.
What was going on?
Never in the continent's recorded history had anyone, during a Martial Soul Awakening,
caused such a terrifying commotion.
An enormous figure gradually emerged behind Yu Tianheng.
