Douluo: Dream Overlord

"Thank God for protecting the Shi family! My son has awakened his innate full soul power!"

Shi Nian was so excited that she trembled slightly.

In the recorded history of Douluo Continent, those who possessed innate full soul power were extremely rare.

All Soul Masters who are born with full Soul Power will eventually become Title Douluo, provided they do not die young!

But my son has the aptitude of innate full soul power. This is truly a blessing from heaven for the Shi family!

Suddenly, he thought of something and glared fiercely at the dumbfounded staff member beside him.

Of the few people present, he was the only one who had no connection with him. If the news were to leak out, it might attract the attention of the Spirit Hall and bring Shi Guang to his death!

Upon realizing this, his expression changed drastically. He thought to himself that this person knew about the timeline and should not be allowed to live!

He decisively unleashed the pressure of his Soul Emperor status, which, mixed with his mental energy, swept over the staff.

The staff member was only a Soul Venerable, and was still in shock and unable to defend himself.

Under the full force of the Soul Emperor realm expert, his spiritual power was instantly shattered by the pressure. His eyes rolled back and he collapsed to the ground, convulsing and lifeless.

The principal, a seasoned veteran of the business, pondered for a moment and immediately understood the reason, nodding with a smile.

He looked towards Shiguang, wanting to see how the child would cope with this situation.

Shi Guang remained calm, his eyes undisturbed.

Although he was somewhat surprised and confused, he had the wisdom of two lifetimes and after a moment's thought, he understood the reason why Shi Nian had acted so ruthlessly.

Having innate full soul power is a qualification that determines one's future as a Title Douluo, and there is no room for error.

This staff member is not related to me at all, and if his information is leaked, I will inevitably be persecuted.

One can only say that he died a worthy death.

Shi Guang glanced at the two people standing there. The principal was his uncle, and Shi Nian was his father. Obviously, there was no need to hide anything.

Shi Guang calmly said, "Now that there are no outsiders here, I have something to say."

Seeing that both of their gazes were on him, he took a deep breath and said, "I feel like I still have a martial soul!"

"What!?"

Upon hearing this, the principal and Shi Nian stared at Shi Guang in astonishment, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Time remained silent, for seeing is believing. He stretched out his palm, and a gem appeared in his hand.

The gemstone is a blend of seven colors, displaying dazzling hues, seemingly floating in the hand of time, with light refracting onto it to create a mesmerizing glow.

"It's a Gemstone Martial Soul! He really does have twin Martial Souls!?"

The principal and Shi Nian were so shocked they were speechless.

Remnants of dreams gathered around Time, and a gemstone martial soul appeared in his hand, clearly resembling a twin martial soul.

"Innate full soul power! And twin martial souls! Am I dreaming?!"

The principal said blankly, feeling as if he had witnessed an extraordinary historical event today.

Both of them are extraordinary figures on the mainland, yet they have appeared in the same person today.

There is only one known person on the continent to have this condition: the current Pope of the Spirit Hall, the peerless Douluo powerhouse, Princess Bibi Dong.

The fact that his time is the same as Bibi Dong's means that he has the potential to become Pope?!

"You're not dreaming, unless we're both under the effect of an illusion-type soul skill."

Shi Nian rubbed his eyes and said, "Judging from the strength of my spirit-type martial soul, Soul Emperor, we are not dreaming."

Seeing the two stunned people, Shi Guang calmly put away his martial spirit and said, "Martial spirit is only one part of strength. To become stronger, you also need to have the determination to become stronger."

"You're just talking without understanding the situation!"

The principal laughed and scolded, "You have no idea how rare twin martial souls are! Let alone innate full soul power! Do you know how rare they are? Without exception, anyone with innate full soul power can become a Title Douluo!"

"That's just the future. Right now, I'm still a student who has just entered the world of Soul Masters."

Time said calmly.

"Oh, Shi Nian! Your son is truly remarkable! He has a calm and composed personality, never revealing his true feelings!"

The principal surveyed the tranquil scene and praised Shi Nian beside him.

"Of course, he's my son after all. Like father, like son." Shi Nian's pride was evident in his words.

"However, although your son is exceptionally talented to the point of being monstrous, the resources of our Canghui Academy are probably insufficient to educate him."

The principal expressed some concern about the future.

The principal was on the verge of tears.

Why is it that the academy finally produces a genius, and such a top-tier one at that?

With his innate full soul power and twin martial souls, he is unparalleled on the continent.

Their academy is still in its infancy, lacking even Contra players, let alone resources and education.

Alas, God won't let my Canghui Academy accept this genius!

The dean sighed deeply.

"Yes, Canghui Academy has been established for too short a time and lacks a lot of foundation."

Shi Nian analyzed future choices for his son: "On the mainland, the only ones with the ability to cultivate innate full soul power and twin martial soul resources are probably the various top-tier leading forces."

Due to the unique nature of the Star Luo Empire, we have excluded it. Therefore, son, you only need to choose between the Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire.

"Father, Uncle, please hear me out."

After weighing the options in his mind for a moment, Shi Guang focused their attention and said:

"My mind is made up. As a member of the Heaven Dou Empire, I will serve the empire."

However…

Shi Guang said, drawing out the last syllable, "I've decided to graduate from Canghui Academy and then report to Tiandou Royal Academy, since I grew up here."

Upon hearing this, the dean's face showed relief.

good boy!

We must not forget those who dug the well when we drink the water!

"And wherever I go, my father and mother will go with me."

Shi Guang said, "And they must be given an official position or something. That's all I ask for."

"He's truly my wonderful son!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Nian smiled, his pride and satisfaction evident in his expression.

With a son like this, what more could a father ask for?

"Don't worry, I will tell the Heavenly Dou Empire's royal family about all of this."

The principal nodded and smiled as he put his arm around Shi Guang's shoulder.

"Time! You've really made this old man proud!"

The dean laughed heartily, saying with some satisfaction, "My sister has certainly given birth to a fine nephew! A truly fine nephew!"

"As a member of the family, it is only natural for me to worry about the family."

Time said calmly.

"Good child! Don't worry! From now on, the family's resources will all be allocated to you!"

The dean was perceptive and knew that this young man had a bright future, so he absolutely could not afford to offend him.

Even if it is one's own nephew, one must never be negligent in one's attitude.

After all, in the Douluo Continent, the strong are respected.

Family ties are merely a bond, not a necessity, and can be severed at any time.

Time did not speak, but merely glanced at Shi Nian, who smiled without saying a word.

As for the bodies of the staff members on the ground, the three people present were clearly in good spirits and did not pay any attention to them.

Just lie and say there was an accident, then give his family some compensation. If they still don't know what's good for them, then we'll see if they're tougher on the head or if the Soul Master's fists are tougher.

It was already noon.

The dean and Shi Nian escorted him back to his dormitory. He saw that Shi's mother chatted with her for a few words and then left, obviously to communicate with the Heavenly Dou Royal Family.

Originally, Shi's mother was overjoyed to learn that her son was a rare genius and wanted to take him out for a big meal, but Shi politely declined.

The reason given was that their soul power had just awakened and needed to be stabilized, so they would go out to celebrate together another day.

After finishing his meal at the cafeteria and placing his tray in the washroom, he returned to his dormitory room to continue his cultivation.

As it turns out, even awakening soul power cannot change the speed of cultivation.

He could feel that his improvement was still slow, but unlike before, he could feel the soul power circulating in his body more clearly.

"No wonder everyone likes to use meditation instead of sleep; it turns out that circulating soul power feels so good!"

Time flies. Before awakening his soul power, he felt like a house in winter without heating – cold and without warmth.

After gaining soul power, he laid an electric blanket on the bed. He would use his soul power to heat up the bed and then crawl inside, keeping himself warm all day.

He fell completely in love with the feeling and probably wouldn't sleep anymore.

For Soul Masters, the fundamental reason why meditation can replace sleep is that the essence of meditation is to empty one's mind and enter a certain state.

In this state, the Soul Master will enter a cultivation state with very low physical burden, and the body will enter a sleep state as the state progresses.
