Every transformation will bring pain. Everyone's journey will not be smooth sailing. If you don't work hard, you will only be eliminated by the tide of the times.
Dragon Emperor Douluo, Tang Lingluo's famous quote.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Glorybound City was a small coastal city on the east coast of the Sun Moon Federation, adjacent to the sea.
Today, the city was exceptionally lively. The annual Awakening Day had arrived.
The people on the Douluo Continent all possessed something called a martial soul. Martial souls were a part of their bodies. They could be any animal, plant, or object. When he was six years old, he could awaken his martial soul through an awakening ceremony. The annual Awakening Day was the day to awaken the martial soul.
If his martial soul was a hoe, then this person's ability to plow the fields would be stronger than others. If the spirit was an animal, perhaps this person would be able to possess some simple abilities of this animal. Thus, martial souls had long since become an important existence that changed people's lives.
More importantly, people were looking forward to the appearance of soul power. Soul power was a kind of energy that nourished and enhanced martial souls. Everyone had a martial soul, but even among a thousand people, there might not be one person who could produce soul power with a martial soul.
Soul power was equivalent to the future and power. When a martial soul was accompanied by soul power, one could enhance one's martial soul by cultivating soul power. From then on, one would become a noble occupation that had existed on the Douluo Continent for thousands of years-a soul master.
Therefore, even the commoners of ordinary birth hoped that their children would be able to awaken their martial soul and display soul power on the day of their six-year-old awakening. It was very likely to change the child's life and even benefit the entire family.
The streets in front of Red Mountain Academy were already crowded early in the morning. Parents who had brought their children to participate in the Awakening were everywhere.
"Dad, what do you think my brother and I will have?”The little boy, who had just turned six, looked at his father with some excitement. What he loved to hear the most was the stories his father told him about soul masters. Her beautiful big eyes were filled with longing.
The little boy had short black hair and was slightly taller than other children of his age. The most eye-catching thing about him was his eyes. His big eyes were black and white, and his long eyelashes were even better than many girls. Although her clothes were ordinary, her outstanding appearance was still easy to notice. The other boy beside him was also slightly taller than his peers. The most eye-catching thing about him was his eyes. Unlike his younger brother, his eyes were golden and looked extremely noble. However, even though he was a boy, he was so beautiful that even girls would be jealous.
However, his golden eyes were filled with indifference. He was so proud that he thought that everything had nothing to do with him. He only felt warmth when he looked at his brother and father.
His father was an ordinary-looking middle-aged man. He was of medium height and build. Everything about him looked so ordinary.
"Dad doesn't know either. It depends on luck.”His father sighed in his heart. The Day of Awakening was actually a day of separation, a day of separation of life. Whether or not one possessed soul power would undoubtedly determine the trajectory of one's life. Fortunately, in this era, even if one could not become a soul master, it was still possible to have a good future.
"Big brother and I will definitely have soul power, right?”The pretty little boy's eyes were filled with hope.
"Whether we have soul power or not, dad will love us."”
Father touched. "Ling Luo's right, whether you have spirit power or not, Daddy will still love you."”
Within the academy, there were parents bringing their children out continuously. The vast majority of them looked dejected or sighing. Occasionally, there would be someone jumping for joy. Needless to say, that was definitely the appearance of his martial soul accompanied by soul power. It would also immediately attract the gazes of everyone around, with envy and jealousy.
As time passed, the sunlight became stronger and stronger, and the excitement of the beautiful little boy decreased a lot.
"Tang Wulin, Tang Lingluo!" A teacher walked out of the Red Mountain Academy. He looked at the form in his hand and called out a name.
"We're here!" Tang Wulin's eyes widened as he jumped up in joy.
Tang Ziran's spirits were lifted as well. He looked at his excited son and walked over while holding his son's hand.
"Follow me." Perhaps it was because he had too much work to do on the Day of Awakening, the teacher seemed a little indifferent. He turned around and walked in front. Tang Ziran brought Tang Wulin and Tang Lingluo along as they hurriedly followed.
Tang Wulin walked along the academy's small path as he looked at his surroundings excitedly. Everything was new to him. Tang Xingyu looked around indifferently, as if everything had nothing to do with him.
Red Mountain Academy was a comprehensive elementary academy that could accommodate two thousand students. The academy's architectural style was simple and unadorned. It had a white roof and red walls. The campus was very clean. It was Awakening Day, so compared to the hustle and bustle outside, the academy was exceptionally quiet. Even Tang Wulin's excited heart seemed to have calmed down with the environment here.
The teacher brought them to a circular teaching building and said to Tang Ziran,"Parents, please wait here."
Tang Ziran nodded and looked at his two sons."Listen to the teacher's instructions. Good luck, son! Daddy will wait for you here."
Tang Wulin nodded vigorously." Daddy, I'll have a powerful martial soul.”
Tang Lingluo smiled." Dad, my brother and I will definitely pass."”
As he watched his son follow the teacher into the circular building, Tang Ziran's eyes revealed a trace of disappointment and reminiscence. This kind of circular building could be found in any elementary academy. It was also known as the Awakening Room and was specially used to help six-year-old children awaken their martial souls. Every Awakening Day, the academy would invite the Spirit Pagoda's spirit masters to conduct the Awakening Ceremony. A few decades ago, he had also entered the Awakening Room with such hope.
The Awakening Room did not have only one place for martial soul awakening. There were seven floors, and each floor had an Awakening Room. Tang Wulin and Tang Lingluo were brought to the awakening room on the third floor.
As soon as he entered the Awakening Room, Tang Lingluo was dazzled. The floor, the walls, and even the ceiling were engraved with some wonderful and magnificent patterns. He felt a strange feeling in his heart, as if something was stirring inside his body.
There was a middle-aged man in an ancient robe in the Awakening Room. The robe was orange and embroidered with some dark patterns of soul beasts.
Tang Wulin had loved listening to his father's stories since he was young. In the stories, spirit masters appeared. These spirit masters from the Spirit Pagoda were mysterious and powerful existences. They were a group of very special soul masters who had a very high status on the continent. However, this was the first time he had actually seen it.
"Hello." Tang Wulin and Tang Lingluo said politely.
The Spirit Master had a gentle smile on his face." Come, little friend, stand in the middle.”
Tang Wulin blinked and walked over obediently. He could not help but ask,"Lord Spirit Master, what kind of martial soul will I have?”
"I don't know either!" the Spirit Master said with a smile. When you awaken later, you'll naturally be able to tell. However, your eyes are so beautiful. If your martial soul is related to your eyes, then it would be perfect.”
Tang Wulin's eyes lit up. I've heard of it. He's the Spirit Pagoda's first Pagoda Master…"
"Calm down," the Spirit Master interrupted him."I'm about to begin.”
Tang Wulin was slightly nervous as he stood in the middle of the Awakening Room. He looked around from time to time. He was only six years old after all. Without his parents to accompany him, how could he remain calm in this strange and novel environment?
At that moment, a gentle white light shone from the Spirit Master's hand, attracting Tang Lingluo's attention.
Was that gentle white light the legendary soul power? A powerful energy that only soul masters possess?
While Tang Lingluo was watching in shock, the spirit master pointed his right hand in the air. The white light on his hands was instantly ignited. The white light that rushed into the sky was like fireworks, bringing a dazzling brilliance to the awakening room.
Streaks of dazzling and beautiful patterns lit up. Starting from the ceiling, they extended down along the four walls as if they had regained their vitality and seemed to possess a life of their own. They extended all the way to Tang Wulin's feet. All the light finally converged at the spot where he was standing.
"Ah!" Tang Wulin suddenly let out a blood-curdling scream that startled the spirit master. Tang Lingluo heard his younger brother's scream and asked the spirit master nervously,"Lord Spirit Master, what happened to my brother?”
The Spirit Master replied," Normally speaking, when a child awakens his martial soul, he won't feel too much. However, there are also very few people who are in danger because their bodies are weak and can't withstand the impact of the energy.”
After he finished speaking, the Spirit Master appeared before Tang Wulin in a flash. He would stop the ritual as soon as he realized that something was amiss to ensure Tang Wulin's safety.
When he got closer, he was surprised to see a golden striation on Tang Wulin's forehead flicker for a moment. Then, the golden striation spread out to his limbs like a net.
What kind of martial soul was this? This Spirit Master was extremely experienced. He had awakened tens of thousands of children, but this was the first time he had seen something like this happen to Tang Wulin.
A weak energy fluctuation was emitted from Tang Wulin's body in the next moment. The energy originated from his lower abdomen. This was the most common place for soul power to be produced. The energy fluctuation was not strong, but it was real.
The Spirit Master was pleasantly surprised. This was clearly a martial soul that possessed soul power. Many times, even if one were to go through a whole day of rituals, they might not even be able to meet a child with soul power. Today's luck seemed pretty good. However, what exactly was his martial soul?
The web-like golden striations from before had already disappeared without a trace. It was as if they had never appeared before. Tang Wulin's eyes were tightly shut as if he was enduring intense pain. However, he had already raised his right hand slowly.
With his palm facing up, a light blue halo emerged from his palm. Immediately after, a few light blue grass quietly drilled out and spread, gently swaying, emitting very weak energy fluctuations.
"Blue Silver Grass?" The Spirit Master's voice was filled with disappointment. But it was quickly replaced by surprise. He had seen many Bluesilver Grass martial souls, and this was a standard trash martial soul! Bluesilver Grass was the most common existence on the entire Douluo Continent, even on the Star Luo Continent and Heaven Dou Continent. It could be seen everywhere on Red Mountain Academy's lawn. Only, how could this kind of trash martial soul be born together with soul power?
It hurts! Tang Wulin felt as if his body was being torn apart.
When the warm energy was injected into his body, his entire body felt weak. It was numb and even a little comfortable, but soon, a strong heat surged out from his limbs and bones. This heat wreaked havoc in his body and soon made him feel full. The feeling of being stuffed to the point of bursting made him unable to breathe.
Every part of his body felt like it was being torn apart. His bones, muscles, and skin were all in pain.
It seemed like a long, long time had passed before the pain gradually subsided. A warm feeling came from his palm, and he opened his eyes.
The light blue grass, lush and green, rippled in his palm. Blue Silver Grass?
Even though Tang Wulin was young, he clearly remembered what he was doing right now. Thus, he immediately came to his senses. My martial soul?"
Even though he hadn't truly learned about spirits, he still had the most basic knowledge. He naturally knew that Blue Silver Grass was a type of trash spirit, and moreover the most trash kind.
"En, yes, this is your martial soul.”The Spirit Master said with a smile, but his eyes were filled with regret.
Possessing spirit power was naturally a good thing, but if the spirit was Bluesilver Grass…..
Tang Wulin's lips trembled slightly. Trembling, a strong sadness filled his little heart. He had been looking forward to it for so long, but in the end, he had a useless martial soul.
"Child, don't be sad. You have soul power accompanying you.”the Spirit Master hurriedly said.
"I, I have soul power?" Tang Wulin looked at him in astonishment.
The Spirit Master nodded." I did a simple test for you just now. Your Innate Soul Power is rank-3. Although it's not very good, you still have Soul Power. As long as you work hard, you can also become a soul master!”
Tang Wulin was stunned." But, but my martial soul is Bluesilver Grass…"
"Have you heard of the story about the Tang Sect?" the Spirit Master asked with a smile. The Tang Sect's founder's main martial soul was Bluesilver Grass! Twenty thousand years ago, he relied on this kind of existence that was completely useless in the eyes of ordinary people to command the winds and clouds on the continent, defeating the evil Spirit Hall.”
Tang Wulin blinked. How could he not have heard of the story of the Tang Sect's founding ancestor? The story of the legendary almighty and the Spirit Pagoda's first Pagoda Master was the most widely circulated and well-known legend on the continent.
"But, isn't the Tang Sect's founding ancestor's martial soul the Bluesilver Emperor?”Tang Wulin asked earnestly.
" Uh…" The Spirit Master was slightly embarrassed. This little fellow was clearly not so easy to deceive." The Bluesilver Emperor also evolved from Bluesilver Grass. If you want to become a Spirit Master, then work hard.”
Tang Wulin bit his lips." Thank you, Lord Spirit Master.”
At this moment, Tang Lingluo patted Tang Wulin's shoulder and comforted him,"Wulin, it's fine even if you can't become a soul master. I'll protect you forever.”Tang Wulin's eyes lit up immediately."Don't worry, big brother. I'll definitely become a soul master.”(Does Tang Wulin have a brother control attribute?)
"Alright, it's your turn.”the Spirit Master said to Tang Xingyu with a smile.
"Sorry to trouble you." Tang Lingluo said politely.
Tang Lingluo stood in the middle of the room as he spoke. Tang Wulin looked at his brother nervously as if he was the one who had awakened his martial soul. (Although he had just awakened)
The Spirit Master pointed his right hand into the air, and the white light that was originally on his hands was instantly activated. The white light that rushed into the sky was like fireworks that bloomed, bringing a dazzling brilliance to the Awakening Room.
The dazzling patterns lit up from the ceiling and extended down the four walls. It was as if they had regained their vitality and were alive. They spread all the way to Tang Xingyu's feet. All the light finally gathered where Tang Lingluo was standing.
Warmth was the first thing Tang Lingluo felt. It was as if he was wrapped in a warm and cozy world. It was indescribably comfortable.
A warm aura seeped into his body, and Tang Lingluo could clearly feel a ball of air fluctuating within his body. Then, under the pull of the warmth, something in his body seemed to break apart, and the warm aura instantly spread throughout his entire body.
It was a little crispy. A numbing and warm power surged into his body from the soles of his feet, causing Tang Xingyu's small body to tremble slightly. He trembled. Then, he felt his entire body tremble as if he had been electrocuted. It shook.
Everything in front of him became blurry. Images kept flashing in his mind. He wanted to see it clearly, but he could only feel the light flowing. It was as if he could see it, but he could not remember anything.
"What is this?"
A pair of golden bone helmets appeared on Tang Lingluo's head. A pair of golden dragon horns appeared, and his hands turned into a pair of swords. He had a hard blue dragon claw, a wrist guard with mysterious runes on it, and blue scales all over his body. Every scale was flowing with endless blue starlight. His eyes had turned golden, and two golden flames were burning in his eyes. Coupled with Tang Lingluo's cold expression, he exuded a domineering and elegant aura.
"What Martial Soul is this?" The Spirit Master thought doubtfully,
"It might be an extremely rare variant martial soul!”Then, the Spirit Master sighed.
Tang Lingluo looked at his hands that had turned into dragon claws and the blue scales on his body. The information that suddenly appeared in his mind shocked him.
Tang Ling looked at the Spirit Master and said,""Can I test my soul power now?"
"But…Yes! Of course you can, but little friend, can you tell me the name of your martial soul?”The Spirit Master's Adam's apple moved with difficulty.'Even you're using it.'
"Hmm?" Tang Lingluo furrowed his brows in confusion. There was a hint of impatience in his eyes.
"Little friend, please don't misunderstand. Every few years, some novel martial souls will appear on Douluo Continent, and Spirit Hall will compile these novel martial souls into the spirit encyclopedia so that people can learn and identify them." This was also the reason why the Spirit Encyclopedia was updated every few years.”
"Star Creator Dragon King!" Tang Xingyu's voice was low but more dignified.
The spirit master quickly took out a pen washi and began to draw on Tang Lingluo. The Star Creator Dragon King quickly took shape on the paper.
The Spirit Master moved quickly and finished drawing in fifteen minutes.
The spirit master brought the portrait to Tang Lingluo and asked him to examine it for any abnormalities. Tang Lingluo took a look and nodded. He had to admit that the spirit master's drawing skills were pretty good.
"Can we begin the soul power test?" Tang Lingluo's cold and authoritative voice sounded again. He didn't know why his voice was always cold and dignified after Spirit Body Enhancement.
The Spirit Master nodded and handed the blue crystal ball to Tang Lingluo. Tang Lingluo's soul power test was more formal than Tang Wulin's.
The moment his palm touched the blue crystal ball, Tang Lingluo's body trembled violently. He shook it and was shocked to find that the beautiful blue crystal ball had a huge suction force. The air mass in his body seemed to have found a vent and surged out.
Tang Lingluo wanted to break free, but he could not escape the strong suction force.
The Spirit Master was equally shocked. The blue crystal ball in his hand lit up, and a dazzling blue light instantly spread out from the starting point. In the blink of an eye, the crystal ball shone like a dazzling gem, and a faint blue halo was exposed. It was indescribably moving.
According to the traditional test, as long as the crystal ball showed a little reaction, even if it was just a trace of light, it would prove that the person being tested had soul power. There was only one explanation for the blue crystal ball shining with such a dazzling light.
"Heavens! It's actually innate full soul power!" The golden light was released from the spirit master's body again, and the crystal ball bounced Tang Lingluo's hand away. At that moment, he looked at the boy with an extremely cold expression, and his gaze was completely different.
"Title Douluo!"
The Spirit Master instantly thought of this term. He believed that as long as the child before him wasn't killed by other soul masters or soul beasts, he would definitely have a seat among the Title Douluos in the future.
"Innate full spirit power, not bad." Tang Lingluo's question sounded like he could not believe it, but at the same time, it sounded like he was relieved of a heavy burden, and at the same time, he sounded indifferent. In his heart, only his family was the most important.
"Brother! You're so powerful, you have innate full soul power!”Tang Wulin said as he bounced in front of Tang Lingluo.
"Alright, stop. My brain is about to faint.”Tang Lingluo smiled.
"Little friend, congratulations, but it's time for you to go out and find your parents.”The Spirit Master smiled at the two brothers.
" Goodbye, Uncle Spirit Master." Tang Wulin left with Tang Lingluo after he finished speaking.
