1: Chapter 1 Martial Soul Awakening
In the north of the Heavenly Soul Empire, Dragon City!
The night was deep, and the sky was a deep, dark blue, pressing down heavily like a vast piece of velvet.
In the distance, the glaciers, illuminated by the aurora, lost their daytime solemnity, resembling a pack of silent beasts crouching there, draped in ever-changing, magical colors.
Inside the Earth Dragon Gate.
Sect Leader Nan Shuishui sat alone in the courtyard. The moonlight began to descend, illuminating her slender and enchanting figure.
"Sigh, the Heavenly Dragon Gate has produced another Genius. At such a young age, they are already a three-ring Spirit Elder. When will my Earth Dragon Gate produce such a peerless Prodigy?"
Nan Shuishui sighed softly. With a wave of her jade hand, a flash of white light appeared, and a set of azure-white jade wine vessels materialized on the table. Her skin-like, delicate hand gripped the wine pot and slowly poured.
The nectar-like wine flowed like moonlight, resting quietly in the wine cup, where the round moonlight rippled faintly.
A pot of wine under the moon, drinking alone with no one to share.
Just as Nan Shuishui was immersed in this romantic and melancholic mood, a loud shout shattered the tranquil and distant atmosphere.
"Sect Master, it's bad! There is an abnormal phenomenon in the far north, the aurora is filling the sky, it seems like something big is about to happen!"
A female Disciple wearing the uniform of the Earth Dragon Gate ran into the courtyard in a panic, arriving before Nan Shuishui with an anxious voice.
"What are you panicking about? Explain it carefully!" Nan Shuishui frowned, her expression very calm.
The female Disciple immediately recounted the situation in detail.
Upon hearing this, a strange look appeared on Nan Shuishui's face. She stopped drinking, her figure turning into a beam of white light as she flew towards the far north.
"Sect Master, be careful…"
On the ground, the female Disciple shouted at Nan Shuishui.
A few minutes later, when Nan Shuishui arrived at the scene, the aurora had nearly dissipated, leaving only fragments of mist on the horizon.
Nan Shuishui frowned. After searching around, she found nothing, as if it were just a normal change in the aurora.
Just as Nan Shuishui was about to turn and leave, her ears twitched, and an extremely faint sound wave suddenly alerted her.
"Over there!"
Nan Shuishui glanced in the direction where the aurora had dissipated to the south, tapped her toes lightly on the snow, and flew forward as light as a swallow.
Strangely, she left no footprints on the snow; her steps were traceless.
"Waaaah! Waaaah!"
As she got closer, the sound wave became clearer. Nan Shuishui's expression was strange; this sound... why did it sound so much like a baby crying?
As she stepped closer, she finally saw the source of the sound on a patch of snow.
It was a baby, lying naked on the snow, with only a bronze-style angular token hanging on his chest.
On the front of the token were two gilded characters: "Lin Feng"!
A pair of big, black-and-white eyes were bright and shiny, with what seemed to be rays of light shimmering in the depths of his eyes. He was flailing his hands and feet, rolling around randomly on the snow, and crying out continuously.
"What a cute child. Which parents are so irresponsible to abandon a baby in the wild like this!"
Nan Shuishui hurried forward, picked up the child, and poked his face with her fair, jade-like fingers. "What a cute child, just as cute as Qiuqiu."
"Eh, your name is Lin Feng?"
Nan Shuishui saw the token, gave a light exclamation, and couldn't help but reveal a smile filled with maternal love.
She looked around and found that this place was not far from Dragon City. It must have been some young couple who, in the heat of passion, accidentally sparked a life and abandoned the child here because they couldn't raise it.
"Poor little guy, abandoned right after birth." Nan Shuishui sighed softly, her heart filled with resentment toward the irresponsible couple.
"Well, since your irresponsible parents abandoned you, I will raise you. It will be perfect for you to keep Qiuqiu company."
Nan Shuishui kissed the baby's tender skin and thought to herself.
"Waa!"
The baby in her arms murmured softly, his hands crawling around on Nan Shuishui's chest, subconsciously looking for something.
Nan Shuishui's pretty face flushed red. After looking around, she felt relieved.
She quietly unbuttoned her collar, and a white light filled the air.
Six years passed in the blink of an eye.
"Lin Feng, Qiuqiu, it's time to eat!"
In the backyard, a gentle and charming young woman walked out carrying two plates of steaming hot dishes. She placed them on the table and called out to the two children playing in the grass not far away.
The next moment, the two little ones ran over like crazy, looking at the fragrant dishes on the table, drooling with hunger.
The young woman looked at the two mud monkeys, sighed helplessly, went to the courtyard to get a basin of clean water, soaked a towel, and gently wiped their faces, complaining incessantly:
"You two rascals, you never let me worry less."
The little girl babbled for a while, hugged the young woman's full thigh, and acted coquettishly:
"Mom, I won't dare to do it next time."
The young woman rolled her eyes at her, reached out, and gently pinched her tender earlobe. "Is it for real or just pretending?"
"Ouch, ouch, ouch, it's for real, Mom!"
The little girl wailed softly, and the clever, mischievous look on her face was knocked back to normal by that pinch.
"Mom, I was the one who took Qiuqiu to play in the garden. If you want to punish someone, punish me." The little boy on the side stood up and patted his chest.
With the mud wiped off his face, his fair, snow-white skin was revealed. His dark blue hair draped over his shoulders, his big eyes were lively, and he was full of Spirit and vitality.
Nan Shuishui rolled her eyes at him and scolded lightly: "Don't start. Every time Qiuqiu causes trouble, she makes you take the blame. You never learn."
The little boy chuckled and immediately rushed up to hug her other leg.
"Alright, let's eat first. After eating, I will perform the Spirit Awakening for you two!"
Nan Shuishui didn't mind, let go of Nan Qiuqiu, grabbed the two by their collars, and pressed them onto the stools. The three of them started eating breakfast in the courtyard.
After eating, Nan Shuishui took the two into the room, used six black stones to arrange a hexagon on the ground, and took out a blue crystal ball from her Storage Ring and placed it on the table.
Looking at the familiar Awakening formation and the blue crystal ball, a complex look that did not belong to his age appeared in Lin Feng's eyes.
He was originally an ambitious young man from Blue Star. One afternoon, while passing by an antique shop, he saw a bronze token—the very one he was wearing on his chest.
Originally, there was no name engraved on it, but after he tried dripping blood to claim ownership, just like in Xuanhuan novels, his name was branded onto it.
Immediately after, the bronze token emitted a massive black light. He thought he was going to become an otherworldly visitor and embark on a spontaneous Xuanhuan journey.
As a result, when he opened his eyes again, he had arrived in the Douluo Continent.
"Alright, who wants to go first?"
Seeing that everything was ready, Nan Shuishui smiled and said to the two.
"I'll go first!"
Nan Qiuqiu stood on the Awakening formation with an excited expression, her face full of anticipation.
Nan Shuishui pointed a finger, and a beam of pink energy fell onto the Awakening formation. In an instant, countless golden fireflies drifted out from the Awakening stones and landed on Nan Qiuqiu.
Nan Qiuqiu's body suddenly trembled, and waves of pink air currents gradually emerged around her, with a rhombic pink crystal appearing on her forehead.
Immediately after, her body became increasingly slender, and she seemed to grow a foot taller.
Dark red scales grew from her fingertips, and her entire right hand seemed to turn into a piece of pink crystal.
"It's the Rouge Dragon!" A look of surprise appeared on Nan Qiuqiu's face.
"Yay, I awakened the same Spirit as Mom!" Nan Qiuqiu looked at her right arm, which looked like pink crystal, her face full of excitement.
"Alright, alright, retract your Spirit. Come and test your Innate Soul Power." Nan Shuishui tapped her on the forehead.
Nan Qiuqiu covered her forehead, put her little hand on the blue crystal ball with a grievance-filled face. In an instant, the crystal emitted a dazzling blue light.
"Innate level 9 Soul Power, not bad." Seeing the blue crystal ball filled to nine-tenths, Nan Shuishui felt slightly disappointed. It wasn't Innate Full Soul Power; what a pity!
"Xiao Feng, it's your turn!"
Nan Shuishui then looked at Lin Feng, her eyes carrying a hint of expectation.
"Okay."
Lin Feng nodded, then stood obediently in the center of the formation, a rare look of nervousness appearing on his face.
What kind of Spirit will I awaken? I'm so excited!
The Awakening formation lit up again, and golden light spots drifted from the black stones on the ground and entered Lin Feng's body.
"Rumble!" "Rumble!"
Thunderous sounds kept ringing in Lin Feng's ears, and it felt as if something was about to crawl out from his left hand.
"Ah!"
Lin Feng let out a loud roar, and a dark purple vine-like plant emerged from his left hand. On the swaying vines, crackling purple electric arcs kept lighting up, and the sound of thunder was incessant.
"This is?!" Nan Shuishui stood up abruptly, her face full of shock.
However, it wasn't over. Black gas surged out from Lin Feng's right hand, and in an instant, a black magic scythe appeared in his palm.
The handle of the magic scythe was over a zhang long, and the blade was over two meters long, with an astonishing total length.
"twin spirits?!" Nan Shuishui was so excited she almost fainted. Heaven has mercy; my Earth Dragon Gate is finally going to rise!
