Douluo: The Holy Radiance of the Dragon King

"The Innate Secret Technique is the first secret teaching of our Body Sect. My junior brother and I are both disciples of our teacher, so I'll tell you about it..."

On an open-air training platform in Douluo Continent, two figures, a burly man and a young man, sat cross-legged. The sun was shining brightly, casting dappled light that illuminated a remarkably handsome face.

"Junior Brother Zaixing, you enjoy reading. What do you think is the strongest martial soul in the world? What advantages do our original martial souls have?"

The current successor of the Body Sect, Aruheng, was exceptionally robust, with shoulders as broad as two ordinary people. He asked the boy opposite him in a gentle voice, with a kind smile.

Upon hearing Aruheng's words, Feng Zaixing took out a copy of "The Complete Guide to Martial Souls Across the Continent." He paused when he flipped to a few pages, and a serious expression appeared on his youthful face as he began to speak eloquently:

"The strongest martial souls in history were the six-winged angel of the Spirit Hall in ancient times and the sea god of Seagod Island. However, the six-winged angel no longer exists after the Spirit Hall's defeat. The degenerated Holy Angel is still a top-level martial soul, and the sea god martial soul has long since disappeared."

"My original martial soul has been ranked among the super martial souls since ancient times. The martial souls of the top experts in this world are also top-notch, such as Shrek Academy's Sky-Supporting Douluo, War God Hall's Vast Ocean Douluo, Spirit Pagoda's Battle Sky Douluo, and Tang Sect's Ruthless Douluo. Their martial souls are no worse than ours."

Aruheng nodded in praise: "Junior Brother knows the top experts of this era like the back of his hand."

Feng Zaixing smiled modestly: "Senior brother, you flatter me. The advantage of my original martial soul lies first and foremost in its ability to greatly enhance the power of soul masters. Ten thousand years ago, the spiritual power of the Spirit Ice Douluo was unprecedentedly strong. Senior brother, you cultivate innate secret techniques, and your blood and qi are far superior to your peers."

"Secondly, there is the second and third awakening, which is the effect of the sect's secret techniques. The innate secret techniques are the most powerful. When cultivated to the extreme, one enters the realm of the Golden Body Arhat, also known as the Flawless Golden Body, whose physical strength is comparable to that of a true god."

As he spoke, Feng Zaixing clenched his fist and slammed it forward, creating a crisp sonic boom, his arm skin glowing with a faint red light.

This is a manifestation of his blood and qi. He cultivates a secret method to lay the foundation for his cultivation before awakening his martial soul.

"Haha! Junior brother is right. If you cultivate the innate secret technique to the highest level, your cultivation will advance by leaps and bounds, and you will soon become a quasi-god."

Aruheng laughed heartily, quite fond of this composed and precocious junior brother. Then, his voice lowered a few octaves, his eyes gleaming, and he said:

"It has been thousands of years since our sect last produced a golden-bodied Arhat. My goal is to bring the golden-bodied Arhat back to life. With you and me by our side, the Body Sect will surely be revived."

After saying that, Aruheng began to tell Feng Zaixing the secrets of the innate secret method, from his own experience of bathing in rare and precious medicinal herbs to his current experience of controlling his body, explaining the principles one by one without holding anything back.

Aruheng did this not only because of his fellow disciples, but also because of the tacit approval of the sect leader, Muye. Feng Zaixing had a pitiful background, having lost both his parents a year ago and having no relatives or friends. He was definitely one of their own.

Feng Zaixing listened attentively, occasionally asking questions, his mind working quickly, unlike a six-year-old child about to awaken his martial spirit.

He was indeed not a normal child, but a time traveler whose previous life was on Earth, and who possessed a family tradition of health preservation.

Unfortunately, times have changed, and we've encountered a drunk driver with a 100-ton cargo truck.

His situation was very special. He had no memory of his previous life at the beginning of this life. Until a year ago, when the news of his parents' death reached Tiandou City, he fell ill and never recovered from the grief.

Makino came to his rescue, and during his recovery, he awakened his memories of his past life.

In a daze, he spent a month sorting out his memories from both lifetimes, greatly improving his mental strength and breaking through to the Spirit Origin Realm, entering the Spirit Connection Realm. His memory soared, and he gained the ability to remember everything he saw.

At the same time, their appetite increased significantly, and their energy and blood circulation improved rapidly.

The Spiritual Connection Realm corresponds to a spiritual power point of over one hundred. With spiritual insight and mental power, a Soul Master who reaches this realm can support two yellow Soul Spirits or one purple Soul Spirit, and can at least cultivate to the Soul Venerable level without worrying about spiritual power issues.

Feng Zaixing's father was Mu Ye's junior brother. Overwhelmed with grief, Mu Ye believed that Heaven had taken pity on his junior brother and the Body Sect, so he immediately accepted Feng Zaixing as his disciple and personally taught him one of the strongest acquired secret techniques to hone his cultivation foundation.

Ah Ruheng also pitied Feng Zaixing's background. After spending nearly a year together, he regarded Feng Zaixing as his own brother.

After a while, Aruheng recounted most of his experience. Feng Zaixing handed him a can of energy drink, then smiled at Muye and Zhenhua, who had appeared out of nowhere, stood up, cupped his hands in greeting, and said:

"Teachers, I'm ready. Take me to awaken my martial spirit."

"Zaixing, I told you long ago, there's no need for so much formality. Our Blacksmith Association doesn't have as many rules as the Body Sect." Zhenhua helped Feng Zaixing up, and said with a slightly reproachful smile.

Mu Ye curled his lip, pulled Aruheng up, and muttered in a low voice, "What does it have to do with me that my disciple is sensible? Our Body Sect has long since integrated into the new era."

Zhenhua turned around and smiled, then asked in return, "If it's not your fault, do you expect me to blame myself?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Ye's forehead twitched, and he pointed at Zhen Hua angrily, saying:

"You just wait, I promise I'll put extra salt in your lunch today, it'll be so salty it'll kill you."

"It's okay, I'll eat your share," Zhenhua said nonchalantly.

Makino's face darkened immediately. Aruheng quickly massaged Makino's back to soothe him, and Feng Zaixing also turned around to say nice things, worried that the chef might throw a tantrum.

Soon, Mu Ye and Zhen Hua reconciled, and the four of them moved around, walking among the rows of buildings of the Tian Dou City Blacksmith Association headquarters.

Occasionally, when passing by a bustling forge, the sounds of hammering and clapping fill the air.

At such times, Feng Zaixing would relax his mind, close his eyes, and use his ears and mental energy to capture the rhythm of the blacksmith's hammering. His fair face would furrow and relax his brows, as if trying to capture something.

Mu Ye and Aruheng walked lightly, while Zhen Hua smiled and watched the scene with amusement, nodding occasionally, showing his approval of his disciple who had become a first-class blacksmith.

"It is this kind of dedication that allows one to scale new heights on the path of forging..."

Zhenhua looked at Feng Zaixing with anticipation in his eyes.

After sorting out his memories of his past life, Feng Zaixing decided on his first secondary profession—forging. With his outstanding talent and Mu Ye's influence, he persuaded Zhen Hua to take him on as a student.

There are two reasons for choosing forging. First, battle armor is too important in this era, and forging metal is the core technology for making battle armor. I can't feel at ease without having control over it.

Secondly, the identity of a disciple of a master craftsman has many advantages. Zhenhua's network of connections is the best on the continent, and he also has vast resources.

In this era, it is impossible to rise without a powerful backer. Feng Zaixing knew that he had to make use of all available resources to reach the level he sought in the shortest amount of time.

Having lived two lives, he was unwilling to be ordinary, and his original goal in this life was to become a powerful Soul Master.

Moreover, he is the same person in both his past and present lives. His parents spent four years with him in this life, and when they passed away, their memories of him were still very clear. There are some things he must do to give himself an explanation.

……

In the era of the Sun and Moon Federation, the Spirit Pagoda undertook the task of awakening martial souls for ordinary people free of charge. People no longer had the opportunity to awaken their martial souls, unlike ten thousand years ago. The Spirit Pagoda's work has earned it a lot of reputation and it can also discover geniuses in the first place.

Although the Body Sect has declined, it would never allow its disciples to awaken their martial souls at the Spirit Transmission Tower. The sophisticated tools for awakening martial souls and testing various data are not valuable; Mu Ye could buy ten sets.

"Reunite, relax your body and mind, don't be tense."

In a soundproof and detector-proof special room, Feng Zaixing stood in front of the Martial Soul Awakening Device. Mu Ye looked excited but nervous, his eyes fixed on his second disciple, his voice trembling.

His second disciple is a genius like Aruheng, a rare find in hundreds of years. He has mastered several combat techniques even before awakening his martial soul, and his spiritual power is exceptionally strong. He will likely have full innate soul power, and it remains to be seen what martial soul he will awaken.

Zhenhua chuckled and said, "Zaixing's father's martial soul is Skin, and his mother's martial soul is Healing Angel. No matter which one it is... I'm sorry, Zaixing, I didn't mean to bring it up."

Feng Zaixing's expression darkened slightly. Hearing this, he shook his head and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, Teacher Hua, I understand that we must look forward to life. Teacher Mu, let's begin."

Whether it's his original martial soul or his angelic martial soul, he will definitely strive to reach the Limit Douluo realm or even higher.

Having been born once, he was unwilling to be a pawn and always wanted to climb to the top and see the view from the summit.
