Douluo: The Dragon King's Descent of the Gods

Chapter 4: The True Body Martial Soul, The True Body!

Seeing the clergyman's outstretched hand, Meng Xinghe, like a real child, reached out and shook it, and walked with him towards the awakening room.

Blending with the world, adapting to the times; concealing our scales and hiding our wings, our thoughts belong to the winds and clouds.

To merge with the light, to become like dust in the mundane world, to display one's talents as times change; to retract one's scales like a fish, to fold one's wings like a bird, to act according to the changing circumstances, in order to plan for the future.

He had not forgotten these principles.

Since I have chosen to start over, I should abandon the pride of being a strong person.

There was more than one Awakening Room. The clergy led Meng Xinghe by the hand into one of the newly vacated Awakening Rooms.

The acolyte in charge of awakening martial spirits had just seen off a family when he saw the priest walk in with a little boy.

Like priests, deacons are lower-ranking clergy members in the Holy Spirit Church.

The ranks of clergy in the Holy Spirit Church, from highest to lowest, can be divided into:

Pope, Cardinal, Archbishop, Bishop, Priest, Deacon, Clerk.

Priests are the lowest-ranking clergy, and their cultivation level must not be lower than that of a Soul Master.

The assistant priest holds a higher position than the priest, and their cultivation level must not be lower than that of a Soul Venerable.

Those awakening missions that require traveling to various places are handled by priests at the Great Soul Master level.

The task of awakening one's martial spirit while remaining in the church is handled by the deacon, who is one rank higher than the priest.

Inside the awakening room, the elderly deacon didn't say much.

Having lived to his age, he's seen it all; it's not uncommon for a child to awaken their martial spirit alone in a church.

"Come, child, come to the center of the formation."

The old acolyte's voice was aged yet gentle. He wore a white robe, and his beard and hair were all white. His already kind appearance was made even more approachable by his status as a light-attribute soul master.

Meng Xinghe nodded obediently, then walked to the center of the formation and stood there.

Looking at the elderly assistant priest activating the awakening array, he suddenly missed Su Yuntao.

If this person were to awaken their own martial soul, the awakened martial soul might become even more powerful... Just kidding.

Times are changing, and the kind of farce that involves "a useless martial soul with innate full soul power" is no longer possible.

The theory that the quality of a martial soul is directly proportional to its innate soul power has long been common knowledge among soul masters.

There are all sorts of martial souls, and there are indeed useless martial souls, but a soul master with full innate soul power cannot awaken a useless martial soul.

Therefore, even if Su Yuntao really did travel to this era, he would not be able to utter that classic line.

Under normal circumstances, a soul beast can only have one martial soul when it transforms into human form, which is its original form before transformation. The only exception is a million-year-old soul beast.

Because a million-year-old soul beast can grant a soul master a new martial soul position, just as the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm granted Huo Yuhao "soulless ice".

Meng Xinghe is a million-year-old soul beast in human form, so he will awaken twin martial souls. In addition to his original form, he will also awaken another martial soul...

"Meng Xinghe, the Martial Soul's true form, possesses innate full Soul Power."

The old acolyte looked at the results of the awakening with surprise. When he looked at Meng Xinghe, his eyes held a mixture of regret and blessing.

Surprisingly, a child from a commoner background awakened the talent of having innate full soul power.

It's important to know that the annual Awakening Day is prepared for families who are unable to awaken their martial souls. These families are mostly ordinary people whose ancestors have never produced a soul master.

Since martial spirits originate from bloodline inheritance, it is naturally rare for a commoner's child to awaken a martial spirit with soul power, and it is even rarer for a genius with high innate soul power to be a genius, let alone a genius with full innate soul power.

The probability of that happening is no less than that of a golden phoenix emerging from a chicken coop.

Unfortunately, this genius, who was born with full soul power, was unable to join the Holy Spirit Cult because he did not have a martial soul of the holy or light attributes.

Since he had no chance to join the Holy Spirit Church, he could only offer his blessings, hoping that the child could change his life and have a bright future because of his outstanding talent.

"Alas, the original body's martial soul, this is the top-tier original body martial soul, what a pity. The Holy Spirit Sect's rules are such that only soul masters with holy or light attributes can join the sect."

The old assistant priest felt a pang of regret.

All martial spirits originate from bloodline, except for the original martial spirit, which originates from the soul master himself, rather than from the bloodline inherited from his ancestors.

Therefore, Soul Masters who awaken their own Martial Soul are mostly children born into ordinary families, unless one of their parents possesses a Martial Soul.

The original martial soul is also the strongest martial soul that children from ordinary families can awaken, because mutated martial souls without defects are extremely rare.

A good talent paired with a flawed mutated martial soul is not as good as a good talent paired with a matching original martial soul.

The quality of a martial soul is closely related to the organs in the human body; the more important the organs contained in the martial soul, the higher its quality.

For example, the human heart and brain are both extremely important organs.

The heart and brain are the core martial souls, and they are among the top-tier core martial souls.

It only involves one of the important organs of the human body, which is a top-level body spirit. A body spirit that includes all the organs of the entire human body is the most top-level body spirit, without exception!

The body's original spirit contains everything that makes up the human body.

It can be a spirit-attribute martial soul because it includes the brain and all parts of the human body related to the spirit.

In this day and age, the most important thing for a Soul Master is spiritual power!

Soul Masters are closely related to their Martial Souls, Martial Souls are closely related to their Soul Rings, Soul Rings are closely related to their Soul Spirits, and Soul Spirits are closely related to their Spiritual Power.

If one's mental strength is insufficient, one cannot absorb souls.

Many Soul Masters stagnate in their cultivation not because they lack talent, but because their spiritual power is insufficient to accommodate new Soul Spirits.

A spirit-attribute soul master with innate full soul power is definitely a potential titled Douluo.

If the Body Sect were to learn of such a genius, they would probably be overjoyed.

However, those who are close to the source have an advantage. Although this child has no connection with the Holy Spirit Cult, the Spirit Pagoda next door will not let go of such a promising talent.

Why is the branch of the Spirit Pagoda located right next to the branch of the Holy Spirit Cult? Isn't it for this very benefit?

What? All Soul Masters with Body Spirit are from the Body Sect? The Spirit Pagoda doesn't buy into that!

With this in mind, the old abbot bent down and gently stroked Meng Xinghe's smooth hair, offering this innocent and ignorant child advice without any bias, as an elder.

The Holy Spirit Cult holds such a high position in the hearts of ordinary people because it offers free awakening of martial souls, but!

The Holy Spirit Cult's high standing in the Soul Master world is not solely due to its strength, but also to its extensive network of goodwill.

"...Here you go, this is your Martial Soul Awakening Certificate. It has the Holy Spirit Cult's anti-counterfeiting certification and your Martial Soul Awakening information on it."

"With this, you can easily join the major powers of the Federation without proving your talent."
