Douluo Continent: The World Shines with Stars

Chapter 2-Awakening

Xu Mingxi felt that his time was being wasted on training and eating dry food, and before he knew it, the day of his martial soul awakening had arrived.

The Star Crown Sect is sparsely populated. This year, only four people awakened their martial souls: Xu Mingguang, Xu Mingxi, and the twins Xu Mingyue and Xu Mingxing.

The four who had awakened were surrounded by dozens of onlookers.

Although the number of people is not large, it is almost half of the population of the Star Crown Sect. The rest are either training outside or have important matters to attend to and cannot leave.

The sect leader and six elders sat at the head of the table, smiling as they looked at the four little radish heads standing in the center.

This is truly a cause for celebration! It's been many years since the Star Crown Sect has had four dolls awaken together.

In the Star Crown Sect, anyone who becomes a Soul Douluo can directly become an elder.

Apart from the sect leader and the grand elder, who are both titled Douluo.

Second Elder Xu Chunyue, a level 89 control-type Soul Douluo.

Third Elder Xu Chunhao, a level 86 offensive Soul Douluo.

Fourth Elder Xu Chunyue, a level 82 support-type Soul Douluo.

Fifth Elder Xu Fanggao, a level 81 control-type Soul Douluo.

The Sixth Elder, Fang Chun, possesses the Jade Ring Martial Soul. He is an 81-level agility-attack type Soul Douluo and is also the husband of the Fourth Elder. He is the only non-family elder of the Star Crown Sect.

Although the Star Crown Sect claims to live in seclusion, Soul Masters still need to eat and require Soul Rings, so they cannot avoid contact with the outside world.

This has led some members of the tribe to choose to go out and gain experience after reaching a certain age.

The wives or husbands of the Star Crown Sect members are mostly commoner Soul Masters they met while traveling.

When both parties are in love, they usually choose to bring their wife's or husband's family to live with them in Xingguanzong, a practice known as "marrying into the family."

However, in the Star Crown Sect, only strength matters, not surname. As long as one's strength reaches the level of Soul Douluo, the position of elder will be open to them.

Although the Star Crown Sect has a small number of members, most of them have awakened the Star Crown Martial Soul.

Given the quality of the Star Crown Martial Soul, the innate soul power is at least level six. In addition, the Star Crown Sect cultivates in seclusion and rarely engages in battles.

These factors combined have led to the current powerful state of the Star Crown Sect, with two Title Douluo, five Soul Douluo, and dozens of Soul Saints.

However, the main characters today are not the older generation watching, but the four little radish heads standing in the center.

Fourth Elder Xu Chunyue walked up to the four people, took out six black awakening stones from her storage soul tool and arranged them in formation, then took out an awakening crystal ball and placed it in the center.

"Mingguang, you go first. Put your hand on this crystal ball."

As the leader of the group, Xu Mingguang naturally took the first place.

Under the radiant glow of the Four Elders' star crown, Xu Mingguang stood in the center of the black awakening stone.

As time passed, a layer of golden light emanated from the Awakening Stone, enveloping Xu Mingguang's entire body.

As the light faded, a dazzling crown appeared above Xu Mingguang's head; it was the Star Crown Sect's inherited martial soul, the Star Crown.

The people on the stage smiled as they looked at the star crown on Xu Mingguang's head, after all, he also had a very small chance of awakening his mother's snake staff martial soul.

"Alright, Mingguang, put your hand up here to test your innate soul power."

Xu Mingguang used his mind to retrieve his martial spirit and placed his right hand on the crystal ball.

In an instant, the crystal ball burst into dazzling light.

"Innate full soul power."

Everyone, including the sect leader, stood up. Although the Star Crown Martial Soul was of extremely high quality and could be considered one of the strongest Martial Souls in the world, it was still a force to be reckoned with.

However, having innate full soul power is extremely rare. Before Xu Mingguang, there was only the sect leader, a genius with innate full soul power.

"Good, good, you truly are my good grandson. Mingguang, you step aside first, don't disturb your younger siblings' awakening."

Next up were siblings Xu Mingyue and Xu Mingxing, whose martial souls were also Star Crown.

Both of them had innate soul power at level eight, but an accident occurred just as their martial souls were awakening.

Everything was normal when the older sister, Xu Mingyue, awakened her soul power, but an accident happened after the younger brother, Xu Mingxing, awakened his soul power.

Their soul powers began to merge, becoming one.

"This is... Martial Soul Fusion?"

The sect leader was not surprised. He had long suspected this. It was not surprising that twins with the same martial soul could fuse their martial souls.

Xu Mingxi was last in line, and with encouragement from her three friends, she entered the Awakening Stone.

As expected, it was still the Star Crown Martial Soul. Xu Mingxi expressionlessly reached out her hand onto the crystal ball.

The crystal ball shone brightly once again, and although the audience had seen it before, they were still amazed.

Another one with innate full soul power? "Good, good, our Star Crown Sect has a worthy successor."

Today is the happiest day in the sect leader's life, aside from the day he awakened his martial soul and broke through to the title of Douluo.

Both of them possess innate full soul power. Once they grow up, the Star Crown Sect will be worry-free for hundreds of years.

"Everyone here is family and friends of my Star Crown Sect. I won't say more. Please keep this a secret and don't spread the news."

The crowd below the stage naturally responded in unison. No one wanted to offend the two titled Douluo, especially since these two were their relatives with innate full soul power.

Xu Mingxi, meanwhile, was still staring in disbelief at the radiant crystal ball.

Am I also born with full soul power? Could I be the protagonist of a transmigration story?

Xu Mingxi had read plenty of fanfiction in his previous life, but he still shook his head and shook off the thoughts in his mind.

This is a real world; what's shown in the book is only a small part. When people really go crazy, they don't even know how they died.

After the awakening ceremony ended, the sect leader and several elders went inside to discuss how to cultivate this year's prodigy.

Xu Mingxi was picked up by her father and carried on his shoulder to say goodbye to her three friends.

"You little rascal, you've really made your dad proud! You're born with full innate soul power! Back in my day, I was only at level eight innate soul power."

"You still have the nerve to say that? I was a genius with innate level nine soul power back in the day. If I hadn't lacked resources when I was young, would you have become a Soul Emperor first?"

Xu's parents were only in their early thirties, and Xu's father had already reached the Soul Emperor level. Both of them even had the possibility of breaking through to become Title Douluo in their lifetime.

Xu Mingxi remained silent, sitting on her father's shoulders and watching the two bicker.

The sunset today was so beautiful.

In contrast to the leisurely Xu Mingxi family, a fierce argument broke out in the sect leader's hall.

"No, of course my grandson should learn from me."

"Xiao Mingxi once said he wanted to be a control-type Soul Master. How can you, a brute, teach him properly?"

The one who retorted to Xu Chunyi was the Second Elder, Xu Chunyue. The Star Crown Sect is called a sect, but it is more like a family.

Furthermore, due to the small number of people, everyone basically grew up together and has a very harmonious relationship.

Xu Chunyue, a Soul Douluo, dared not give Xu Chunyi, a Title Douluo, any face at all.

"Alright, alright, stop arguing. Let's do it the way the children wanted to."

Mingguang and Mingxi are learning control from me, while Mingyue and Mingxing are learning support from the Fourth Elder.

Upon hearing this, the Second Elder was about to speak when the Sect Master vanished in a flash.

"No, that's not what I meant. I want Mingxi to come with me, you bastard."

Xu Chunyi watched the Second Elder suffer a setback and was overjoyed.

"Didn't expect that, did you? Even if my grandson chooses the control major, it's not your place to teach him."

"You're an asshole too."

The second elder pounced on them, and the two old men, whose combined age was nearly 150, started fighting, grabbing each other's clothes and pulling each other's hair.

The remaining four elders watched with great interest from their seats.

"Elder, you can't pull a woman's hair."

"Second Elder, don't pull his clothes. He's an old man, there's nothing to see here."

This scene is really exciting!

Xu Mingxi was completely unaware of what was happening in the main hall; he was currently sitting at the dining table, gnawing on the hind leg of a Negative Star Ox.

The Negative Star Ox, a type of soul beast, is already being raised on a large scale within the Star Crown Sect. It absorbs starlight during its growth process.

Consuming the meat of the Negative Star Ox is highly beneficial to those who possess the Star Crown Martial Soul.

Since Xu Mingxi awakened her martial soul, she has felt that her appetite has increased significantly.

Adhering to the principle that being able to eat is a blessing, Xu Mingxi stuffed as much of the meat from the negative star cow into her mouth.

It almost scared Mr. and Mrs. Xu, who kept asking him if there was something wrong with his health.

In fact, given a Soul Master's physical condition, they can basically digest anything they can eat.

According to the Star Crown Sect's experience over the past thousand years, long-term consumption of soul beast meat can also improve a soul master's physique.
