Chapter 8: The Spirit Eye Martial Soul with Innate Full Soul Power
The Awakening Room wasn't spacious; it was square and somewhat resembled the empty room Han Tianyi had once been in, but upon closer inspection, it was quite different.
The walls, floors, and even the dome here are not plain white, but are covered with extremely intricate and mysterious patterns.
Dai Yuhao knew that this was the Soul Guidance Array Pattern, which was essential for awakening one's Martial Soul.
At this moment, only Leng Yaozhu and Dai Yuhao were in the room.
The fact that Leng Yaozhu, a near-demigod powerhouse, personally presided over the awakening of a mere child's martial soul would shock and envy countless people if word got out.
But at this moment, it wasn't just her expectation of Dai Yuhao.
It also means that she is going to take the answer she has been waiting for for three years completely into her own hands.
"Yuhao, stand in the center."
Leng Yaozhu's voice was exceptionally clear in the quiet room, carrying a hint of barely perceptible tension.
Dai Yuhao did as instructed and walked step by step to the center of the room.
The most densely engraved patterns on the ground there form a perfect circle about one meter in diameter.
After he stood still, he saw Leng Yaozhu with a solemn expression, slowly raising her right hand.
Simply put your palms up and your fingers slightly spread.
The next instant, a soft, pure milky-white light shone from her palm, first like a firefly, then like the bright moon!
The light was not dazzling; it shot straight upwards and precisely entered the most crucial array eye in the very center of the dome.
Immediately afterwards, starting from the core of the dome that was "lit up," the densely packed soul-guiding array patterns seemed to come alive!
The patterns on the ceiling were the first to be fully illuminated, and then the light poured down the walls, illuminating the patterns on the walls one by one, like a cascading waterfall.
Finally, the light converged into the circular magic circle beneath Dai Yuhao's feet, suddenly bursting forth with the brightest and gentlest golden-white radiance!
Dai Yuhao felt a slight numbness in the soles of his feet, as if something warm was quietly seeping into his body through the soles of his feet.
The sensation initially felt like a weak electric current, with a slight tingling sensation.
It then transformed into a warm current, quickly spreading upwards along both legs. Wherever it passed, the meridians felt slightly warm, and the blood flow seemed to speed up.
Under Leng Yaozhu's focused gaze, Dai Yuhao was completely enveloped by the rich and pure white soul power light.
The energy unleashed by the awakening ceremony flowed and resonated within him, searching for the anchor point of his bloodline and calling forth his dormant martial spirit.
The light reached its peak, then receded slowly like the tide, revealing Dai Yuhao's figure within.
Leng Yaozhu's gaze swept over his entire body immediately, but no outward or physical form of his martial soul appeared.
A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She had clearly sensed the fluctuations of soul power just now, so how come... no martial soul manifested?
However, the instant this thought arose, she noticed something amiss.
The awakened soul power within Dai Yuhao's body was spontaneously converging towards a specific area.
That direction is—eyes!
Leng Yaozhu's gaze immediately locked onto Dai Yuhao's face.
The child, who seemed somewhat bewildered as he stood there, slowly raised his head.
The moment he looked up, Leng Yaozhu saw that Dai Yuhao's already bright eyes now seemed to be filled with stars!
The color of his eyes became deeper and clearer, and there seemed to be a faint, lustrous sheen flowing around the edges of his pupils.
Aura!
These two legendary words appeared in the depths of Leng Yaozhu's mind without warning!
All the speculation and all the waiting seemed to have found its answer at this moment!
The martial soul awakened by Dai Yuhao seems to be exactly the same as that of Huo Yuhao, the founder of the Spirit Pagoda and the Spirit Ice Douluo from ten thousand years ago—an extremely rare and powerful spiritual-type physical martial soul: the Spirit Eye!
Just as Leng Yaozhu's heart was being stirred by Dai Yuhao's spiritual eye, Dai Yuhao, who was in the center of the awakening array, was immersed in a novel experience he had never had before.
He felt as if the world before him had been gently wiped clean of all its haze and dust by an invisible hand, becoming incredibly clear, clear to an almost unbelievable degree.
The complex and profound soul-guiding array patterns on the wall were now clearly visible.
The depth and direction of each line seemed to be magnified and brought closer, presented before his eyes.
With a slight shift of his gaze, the dust particles that were almost invisible in the room were now clearly visible, and the trajectory of each particle seemed to have slowed down, making them easy for him to capture.
This extraordinary vision brings a sense of control and confidence, but it also comes with a slight dizziness from information overload.
He blinked subconsciously, trying to adjust to this new "world".
At this moment, Leng Yaozhu's voice came. Although she tried her best to control herself, there was still an undisguised fluctuation in her tone.
"Yuhao, your martial soul is... eyes?!"
Dai Yuhao turned his gaze to Leng Yaozhu, whose eyes, now even brighter and seemingly filled with starlight, clearly reflected Leng Yaozhu's complex and indescribable expression.
He nodded: "Yes, Aunt Leng, my martial soul is my eyes, my true form martial soul!"
Over the years, under the tutelage of Leng Yaozhu and Han Tianyi, Dai Yuhao's understanding of the Martial Soul system has far surpassed that of his peers, and is even comparable to that of Soul Masters who have already received systematic education at the Junior Soul Master Academy.
Therefore, he naturally knew that the eye-shaped martial soul he had awakened at this moment was a type of his original martial soul.
A complex emotion flashed rapidly across Leng Yaozhu's eyes.
Facing the young boy she had personally cared for and taught for three years, she felt a sense of bewilderment and helplessness she had never experienced before.
The result of the three-year wait seems to be announcing a startling fact.
This child, whom she regarded as her own son or nephew, is very likely the first tower master of the legendary Spirit Tower, Huo Yuhao, the Spirit Ice Douluo!
How should I face him?
They continue to treat them as younger children who need protection and guidance.
Or... treat it like you would a legendary progenitor?
This sudden conflict of identity left her speechless for a moment, a rare occurrence for her.
"Aunt Leng, what level is my soul power?"
Dai Yuhao's clear, expectant voice rang out at just the right moment, breaking the subtle and stagnant silence.
Leng Yaozhu suddenly snapped back to reality, refocusing her gaze on Dai Yuhao, temporarily suppressing her chaotic thoughts.
"It's innate full soul power!"
As the person in charge of this awakening ceremony, Leng Yaozhu naturally and clearly sensed Dai Yuhao's innate soul power.
However, she clearly remembered that in the ancient records inside the Spirit Pagoda, the early records about the first tower master Huo Yuhao mentioned that his innate soul power seemed to be only level one.
It was that meager starting point of talent that, in contrast to his later earth-shattering achievements, formed the most poignant contrast in the legend.
But now, what is presented before her is an undeniable innate full soul power!
Is there a discrepancy in the historical records spanning tens of thousands of years?
Or... did my involvement over the past three years change history?
Upon hearing the words "innate full soul power," a glint of light instinctively flashed in Dai Yuhao's eyes.
But the light was fleeting, and the budding joy on his face dimmed and faded.
Because the martial spirit he awakened was not the Evil-Eyed White Tiger that he had been longing for.
"Yuhao, come with me, I have something important to tell you."
Leng Yaozhu's voice rang out, calm yet carrying an unprecedented solemnity.
Dai Yuhao looked up and met Leng Yaozhu's gaze.
That look was no longer the gentle or encouraging one of the past, but rather held a complex and unspoken determination, which made his heart tighten inexplicably.
Although he didn't know what could have made the usually composed Aunt Leng show such an expression, he still nodded habitually and followed silently.
The two navigated the familiar corridors inside the Spirit Pagoda with ease, returning to the "home" on the 121st floor where Dai Yuhao had lived for three years.
They sat facing each other on the sofa in the living room. Leng Yaozhu's gaze was fixed on Dai Yuhao, and her scrutinizing eyes, mixed with worry, made Dai Yuhao unconsciously sit up straight and quietly clench his small hands on his knees.
Finally, Leng Yaozhu's cold voice broke the silence: "Yuhao, with your intelligence and keen perception, you should have noticed the 'abnormalities' happening to you over the past three years, right?"
Upon hearing this, Dai Yuhao froze instantly!
My heart felt like it was being squeezed by an invisible hand, and it started pounding wildly.
Aunt Leng...she found out?
His ability to travel between two worlds is his greatest secret and anomaly!
