Douluo Dragon King: The Calamity of the Dead, Reviving Qian Renxue

The Spirit Pagoda, seventy-third floor, Soul Master Aptitude Assessment Center.

The room was spacious and bright, with streamlined soul-guiding patterns inlaid on the walls. Several floating light screens surrounded it.

"Before selecting a soul for you, we need to assess your physical and mental data." Leng Yaozhu stood in front of the control panel, her wine-red hair gleaming under the soul guide lamp.

"Especially mental strength—it determines what level of soul you can bear. Generally speaking, if your initial mental strength can reach one hundred points, you are a genius level that is one in ten thousand."

Luo Yang nodded.

He was also curious about the extent of his physical condition after experiencing the blessing of the dimensional world and the purification of the dead.

Following Leng Yaozhu's instructions, the various tests were conducted in sequence.

Xue Ba stood quietly to the side.

The test was completed three minutes later.

On the largest central screen, rows of clear data were displayed.

Then--

Dead silence.

A deathly silence that lasted for more than ten seconds, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Leng Yaozhu stood still, her usually emotionless crimson eyes wide open to an almost uncontrollable degree, staring intently at the data on the screen.

Even Xue Ba, who was mentally prepared, gasped, and for the first time, astonishment appeared on her cold and beautiful face.

On the screen, several lines of bold gold text were particularly glaring.

"263 points, mid-stage of the Innate Spiritual Realm..." Leng Yaozhu murmured, repeating the test data, her voice dry.

What is the concept of 263 points of mental strength?

Those Soul Masters who awaken top-tier Spirit-type Martial Souls are already considered peerless geniuses if they can innately reach 150 points. But Luo Yang, without any Soul Rings yet and only six years old, has almost doubled that!

What's even more terrifying is their physical fitness.

An A+ rating, comparable to an excellent Soul Master.

What does this mean? It means that with his physical strength alone, he can fight against a three-ring Soul Master!

This talent isn't just aiming for the Limit Douluo level; it's clearly the potential to become a god!

Leng Yaozhu's breathing quickened. She looked up at Luo Yang, walked up to him step by step, squatted down, and put her hands on his shoulders.

Something was burning deep within her crimson eyes—shock, ecstasy, and a kind of almost obsessive heat.

She's determined to have this child!

Luo Yang felt a little uneasy under her gaze.

He knew that look all too well.

Black Emperor had seen him, and Blood Eight would occasionally show a similar expression. It was like a hungry wolf seeing fresh meat, or a collector discovering a rare and priceless treasure.

He didn't awaken a succubus martial soul, so why are there people plotting against him everywhere he goes?

"Aunt Leng," he asked cautiously, "is there... a problem with the data?"

"There's a problem, a huge problem!"

Leng Yaozhu smiled, a smile so radiant it was dazzling.

"Every data record since the establishment of the Spirit Pagoda will be rewritten for you!"

"I've seen too many so-called geniuses—from Shrek Academy, the Temple of War, major families… but in front of you, they all pale in comparison!"

It's important to know that the levels of spiritual power are clearly defined.

灵元境（100点以下）、灵通境（100-500点）、灵海境（500-5000点）……以此类推。

The spiritual power of the Spiritual Connection Realm means that a Soul Master has already acquired the foundation to absorb a thousand-year-old soul!

What's even more terrifying is that this is the mental power of a six-year-old child who hasn't yet been given any spirit rings!

As for physical fitness...

Those scions of wealthy families who have been raised on rare ingredients and gentle medicinal baths since childhood may stand out among their peers, but to be this strong is simply unheard of.

Luo Yang smiled slightly at this.

Because of the innate talent of his martial soul, every time he purifies a dead soul, it will replenish his spiritual power and soul power.

Before this, he had replenished a lot of spiritual and soul power by purifying the soldiers of the undead legion.

Not to mention that because he was a time traveler, his mental strength was already extraordinary, and he felt that there was still room for improvement.

Xue Ba had recovered from her shock. She crossed her arms, a slight smile playing on her lips.

The bok choy she grows is the most beautiful and delicate in the world!

Leng Yaozhu took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

"Your mental strength is sufficient to support a thousand-year-old soul. Your physical abilities far surpass those of your peers. So, next..."

She walked to another wall and placed her palm on it.

The walls rippled like water, revealing a huge circular screen behind them.

The screen lights up, displaying a magnificent virtual scene.

Forests, deserts, glaciers, volcanoes... countless phantoms of spirit beasts roam among various ecological environments.

The Azure Ice Toad exhaled icy breath, the Silver Spirit Beast tore through space, and the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear roared to the sky...

"This is the Spirit Pagoda's virtual space for souls," Leng Yaozhu explained. "We simulated the living environment of the souls as much as possible to maintain their vitality."

She paused, her tone filled with respect: "This is the legacy left by the first Tower Master, Spirit Ice Douluo. The Soul Spirit System changed the entire Soul Master civilization."

Xue Ba nodded slightly.

Luo Yang stared at the screen with a complex expression.

The Soul System is indeed a groundbreaking innovation.

But did it really save the soul beasts?

When Huo Yuhao ascended to the God Realm and lost control of the lower realm, the Spirit Pagoda gradually deteriorated.

The mutually beneficial contract between the souls has turned into a one-sided plunder. The situation of the soul beasts has not improved as a result.

Who should take the blame? The greed of the Spirit Pagoda? The ugliness of human nature? Or... Tang San, who was manipulating everything behind the scenes?

Of course, Huo Gua's original intention was definitely good; he wanted to use soul spirits as a link to build a bridge for soul masters and soul beasts to coexist peacefully.

"Luoyang, next we will select a suitable soul spirit for you." Leng Yaozhu's voice pulled him back to reality.

She walked to the control panel and manipulated it with lightning speed.

The images on the screen switched rapidly, finally settling on a colossal creature.

It was a terrifying creature over ten meters tall. Its entire body was covered in dark golden fur, and its muscles bulged like granite.

What's most terrifying are its knee-length arms, which are ridiculously thick, as if they could tear mountains apart with a single swing.

Its face was ferocious, and its blood-red eyes burned with an indomitable fighting spirit. Its overall form was similar to the Titan Ape, but its aura was more ancient and more violent.

"A mutated version of the Titan Ape." Leng Yaozhu's voice carried a hint of admiration. "Tests show that it carries a trace of the ancient golden Behemoth bloodline."

"Golden Behemoth?" Blood Eight raised an eyebrow.

"An ancient overlord. Legend has it that it feeds on dragons." Leng Yaozhu looked at Luo Yang. "This spirit is one of our headquarters' most precious collections. It has preserved its complete fighting spirit and is called the 'Unyielding Spirit.' To form a contract with it, you must first overpower it on the level of will."

Blood Eight nodded in satisfaction.

Titan Giant Apes are already a powerful race at the top of the soul beast pyramid. With a hundred years of cultivation, they can fight ordinary ten-thousand-year soul beasts. This mutant with the Golden Behemoth bloodline has even greater potential and strength.

If she hadn't already been fully aroused, she might have been tempted.

"What do you think?" Leng Yaozhu looked at Luo Yang, her crimson eyes full of expectation.

In her opinion, this was the perfect choice.

With the Golden Behemoth bloodline, a top-tier power-type soul spirit, and Luo Yang's terrifying physical attributes, once successful, his starting point will be unimaginably high.

Xue Ba also looked towards Luoyang.

The room fell silent, with only the golden giant ape phantom on the screen silently radiating its oppressive aura.

Under Leng Yaozhu's expectant gaze, Luo Yang stared at the majestic golden giant ape phantom and pondered for a moment.

Then, he slowly shook his head.

Leng Yaozhu was stunned.

"Are you... worried about failure? Or do you think it's too powerful and difficult to control?"

She was somewhat disappointed.

She was somewhat disappointed. Could it be that this child possessed extraordinary talent but lacked the essential conviction of a strong person?

If that's the case, no matter how talented someone is, they're destined not to become a strong person.

Xue Ba frowned slightly.

however.

Luo Yang looked up at the roaring beast on the screen and calmly said something that made both of them freeze.

"No."

I think—

"It's too weak."
