Douluo: I am the outer demon

Chapter 2 Martial Spirit Awakening
Several children from the orphanage next to Shang'an looked at the children who were being led by their parents with envy. If possible, they would also like to be children who were loved by their parents.

Shang An didn't feel anything about this. Although he studied Taoism in his previous life, he often went home to serve his parents.

He had several older brothers to take care of him at home. He was the youngest son of his parents. When he was born, his father was already 58 years old and his mother was in her 40s.

His parents died when Shang'an was about 26 or 27 years old, which was considered a long life at that time.

It was also after his parents passed away that he decided to secretly learn forbidden techniques, eventually becoming a so-called "evil path".

Over the past few hundred years, he has become indifferent to such scenes and would naturally just laugh it off.

Another quarter of an hour later, those who came to awaken their martial souls had basically arrived, and the martial soul awakening ceremony officially began.

A temple bishop in a platinum robe walked out of the hall, followed by several cardinals in black and more than a dozen armored temple guards.

He asked everyone to line up and go to the temple to awaken their martial spirits.

The children lined up one after another and went in, while the adults waited outside.

According to the rules, adults are not allowed to go in when the spirit awakens.

The temple guards blocked the door, and the adults could only stare at it anxiously, some even poking their heads out to see what was going on inside.

Just like the parents waiting outside the college entrance examination hall in Shang An’s previous life.

The awakening of your martial soul is even more important than the college entrance examination in your previous life, because your martial soul and innate soul power will determine your entire life.

After the children who have been tested come out, they are immediately pulled over by their parents for questioning or directly shown the soul master's certificate. Parents whose children have high innate soul power will naturally cry with joy.

If it’s not good, the parents may be frustrated, but they will also comfort their children gently. There are also some who are angry, but they are only some individuals.

Half an hour passed in a flash, and it was finally Shang An's group's turn.

Before entering, the director's grandmother repeatedly reminded me:
"Children, don't panic after you go in. Follow the Bishop's instructions."

Afterwards, Shang An followed the team into the Wuhun Temple. The temple was mainly white, with statues of angels carved on the walls. Overall, it was grand, solemn and dignified.

Standing in the middle of the hall was the bishop in the platinum robe, who was also the platinum bishop of the East District of Wuhun City.

In front of him was a hexagram array made up of six shining gems. This was the martial soul awakening array, and it was also the most gentle way to help martial souls awaken that was explored and summarized by generations of soul masters.

There is also a blue crystal ball on the other side, which is used to test the innate soul power.

Bishop Platinum nodded.

"Line up, one by one. First up, Xu Wu."

Xu Wu is a dark-skinned boy with a sturdy physique, who does not look like a six-year-old child. He walked forward and entered the hexagram formation. Following the guidance of the instructor who was assisting him, Xu Wu released his martial spirit.

"Martial Soul Fiery Ape, not bad, now let's test the innate soul power."

The soul crystal ball lights up

"Innate seventh-level soul power, not bad, if you work hard, you will have the hope of becoming a Soul Douluo."

A look of joy also appeared on Xu Wu's face, and he was obviously very satisfied with himself.

Shang An couldn't help but look sideways slightly. It wasn't that he was envious, but he was surprised at the power of Wuhun City. He could easily encounter an innate seventh-level soul power.

You have to know that in other villages and towns in Douluo Continent, the emergence of a person with soul power is considered a great event, not to mention the innate seventh level soul power.

Zhu Zhuqing, one of the Shrek Seven Devils, only has an innate seventh-level soul power.

"The next Li Zhi, martial soul is a spotted cat, and the innate fourth-level soul power"

The Bishop continued.

"Nagasaki, Moon Shadow Wolf, Innate Level 5 Soul Power"

"Song Yi, bloodthirsty vine, innate level 5 soul power"

"Gu Chensha, Big Watermelon, Innate Level 3 Soul Power"

The next few are not as good as Xu Wu, but most of them are between the third and sixth levels of innateness, so it can be said that they have a bright future.

Soon, it was Shang An's turn. Shang An quickly walked to the hexagram formation and stood still, and under the guidance of the instructor next to him, he began to sense his martial spirit.

Soon, his body was enveloped by the light of the hexagram array, and a gentle energy spread throughout his body. At the same time, an invisible force was about to burst out from his body.

Seeing that Shang An's hands were empty, the bishop continued to increase his soul power output.

You know, in the past this situation would only occur when true geniuses awakened. Could it be that this kid is also in this situation?

The bishop was secretly happy in his heart, and a smile appeared on his numb face. Perhaps today he would have another genius under his command, and this would be his credit.

The bishop continued to increase his soul power output. One minute, two minutes later, suddenly, the power in Shang An's body seemed to have found a breakthrough.

A bead wrapped in chaotic-colored airflow appeared in his right hand. At the same time, a breath of the beginning of all things emerged from the bead.

In a strange space under the Star Dou Great Forest, a silver dragon with beautiful bright silver scales woke up quietly.

"That is?"

But the familiar breath soon disappeared. He did not dare to investigate further because the gods in the sky were always watching below. He closed his eyes again.

"Such a familiar smell, it is..."

in the hall.

The bead also exuded a strong pressure, and the bishop's martial soul began to tremble. You have to know that he himself is a high-level martial soul, and he is also an eight-ring soul douluo. Today, he trembled because of a bead, and revealed a sense of fear. "Super martial soul, at least it is a super martial soul."

The bishop shouted in his heart, and at the same time, the smile on his face became even brighter. He said to Shang An in a gentle tone:

"Come on, kid, let's test your innate soul power again."

Shang An nodded and placed his hand on the soul crystal. A blinding light shone, blinding the eyes of several people around him. The bishop opened his mouth wide.

The soul power crystal ball of Wuhun City is different from the crystal balls carried by ordinary deacons. It is an advanced crystal ball that can measure the soul power of level 50.

And now the light emitted by this soul power crystal has far exceeded the brilliance that can be emitted by the innate full soul power.

"This is, innate level 20, innate level 20 soul power!"

The bishop suddenly calmed down and looked at the people around him:
"You all stay here, no one is allowed to leave, I'm going to meet His Holiness the Pope."

Then he smiled at Shang An and said:
"Child, your name is Shang An, right? Please wait here for a moment, I will be back soon."

Shang An nodded obediently. With his talent, he should have reported this matter directly. But it didn't matter. He had never thought of hiding it.

Then he looked at the martial spirit on his right hand. It looked so familiar. Wasn't this the bead that he had refined before to store magic power?
How did it become like this? Did it absorb some mutation during the turmoil in time and space?

He was very sure that this bead was not a Chaos Bead but a Taiyi Bead. Although the name sounded impressive, it was just an ordinary magical bead that he had refined in his previous life to store magic power.

Carefully feeling his own martial soul, the martial soul also sent some information at this time. The Taiyi Pearl contains the power of the origin, which has the effect of evolving all things and shaping the universe. At the same time, it has extremely high adaptability to martial souls.

Perhaps this bead absorbed a ray of original power during the turmoil of time and space, which greatly improved its quality.

And it also became his martial soul, and it seemed to be a very powerful martial soul, at the innate level 20. In this world, Qian Renxue was probably the only one with the innate level 20 spirit power.

After coming to this world, he began to practice the "Great Freedom Sutra", but he also knew that the "Great Freedom Sutra" could not help him break the tenth-level soul power limit. It seems that this martial soul also has its credit.

Moreover, he felt that he had another martial soul, which was transformed from his Great Freedom and Formless Heavenly Demon Spirit, and should be considered as his original martial soul.

Shang An called it the Great Free Demon Lord. This martial soul was even more peculiar. It could not be supplemented with soul rings, but it would grow with Shang An's growth.

Currently, he only has the most basic ability, the Heart Demon Seeding Dao, which can use the power of the mind to actively or passively influence others.

It can even condense demon seeds and plant them into other people's bodies. The inner demons are born from other people's thoughts or obsessions combined with Shang An's aura. As long as the obsession remains, it will not be eliminated. It can affect people's minds, which is equivalent to putting a halo of lowering intelligence on the enemy.

Shang An can also subtly change others through the power of his mind. This is not control, but guiding others by magnifying or minimizing other people's inner flaws, regrets, and various emotions.

Compared to brutal control of people, this kind of subtle influence is the most terrifying.

This was also one of the abilities he developed in his previous life. He thought he needed to rebuild his soul, but he didn't expect that his soul would actually become his martial soul.

Unfortunately, his current mental strength is too low. Although he has reached an extremely high level of cultivation in his previous life, he still has to start all over again after a time and space turmoil.

But it can be considered a blessing in disguise, as not only did he come to a world without much threat but with plenty of spiritual energy.

After going through the baptism of compression of time and space turmoil, his already outstanding talents became even more outstanding, and he easily cultivated to the realm of entering the Tao.

If it weren't for the restriction of the spirit ring, he might have become agile by now.

Based on his understanding of Douluo Continent in his past and present lives and his grasp of his own realm, he also made a comparison between the realms of the two worlds.

Building the foundation (strengthening the body and literary talent) - Soul Warrior (1-10)

Entering the Dao - Soul Master (11-20)

Smart - Great Soul Master (21-30)

Fetal Breathing - Soul Master, Soul Sect (31-50)

Purple Palace - Soul King, Soul Emperor (51-70)

Life Pill - Soul Saint, Soul Douluo (71-90)

Chun Yang - Titled Douluo (91-99)

Primordial Spirit - Quasi-God, Priest

This set of level comparison may not be accurate, but it should be roughly the same.

Speaking of which, although the cultivation system in his previous life was called Taoism, which is what many people call immortal cultivation, its destructive power is actually not very strong and cannot be compared with some imaginative fairy tales.

At least Shang An has never seen such a powerful person who can hold the sun, moon and stars in his hands.

But it's normal. The earth is so small. If it were really like in the novels about cultivating immortals, with continents overturned and dragons and snakes fighting each other, the world would have been destroyed long ago.

Of course, the level of Tao cannot be described simply by destructive power.

Although Douluo is jokingly called a fantasy sewer by netizens, it doesn’t feel that bad when it comes to this real world.

Many books record that some Titled Douluo went all out and destroyed a city with one strike.

Regarding the combat power of Qian Renxue in the later period and Tang San and the others after they became gods, he speculated that they should have just become gods and had not reached all the peaks of the inherited godhood. Their strength was at most that of a hundred-level priest.

After all, the novels written by a certain Douluo have too many bugs, and now as a real world, there will obviously be no bugs.

Of course, he couldn't follow the novel exactly, and the settings in the original work could only be used as a reference.

And what has been written down is only the tip of the iceberg of this continent.
