Douluo Dragon King: My Martial Soul is Kamen Rider!

Douluo Continent, Sun Moon Federation, Aolai City in the East Sea.

This small town, born by the sea, is enveloped by the salty sea breeze all year round, and countless seasons have passed with the ebb and flow of the tides.

Today is the annual free awakening day.

In the Douluo Continent, everyone awakens something called a Martial Soul. Martial Souls are incredibly diverse and unique. Every six-year-old child must awaken their own Martial Soul at this time.

Of course, this is free. Compared to the situation before the Spirit Pagoda was established ten thousand years ago, when only nobles and a very small number of people could awaken, this is undoubtedly a policy with great humanistic care.

However, all of this is just irrelevant nonsense.

Today, in various locations around the Spirit Pagoda and in various academies, the awakening of martial souls is in full swing.

At this moment, many parents were gathered in front of the Spirit Transmission Tower branch in Aolai City, all of whom had come for their children's martial soul awakening today.

Whether you become a dragon or a worm depends on today. Awakening your martial soul is comparable to taking the college entrance examination. Although you value the 99% effort, you are also greatly influenced by the 1% talent. Your future prospects depend on today's martial soul awakening.

Crowds are always chattering; some are happy while others are sad, some are joyful while others are sorrowful. The world is inherently cruel and will never be kind to anyone because of their weakness.

And among the crowd, there are always a few oddballs.

Among them, a slender, handsome boy stood in line listlessly, his Soul Guiding Game Machine never stopping.

The boy was taller than his peers, with a clean, cool-toned white complexion and rosy cheeks. His exquisitely sculpted features seemed to tell a story of natural artistry, and the beauty etched into his genes was already evident at such a young age.

He was alone with no parents around, making him seem out of place at that moment.

The boy's name is Zhou Yang. In his previous life, he was just an ordinary person who liked Kamen Rider. Due to an accident, he saved two children, which led to him being defeated by the Grand Mech and reduced to a lower dimension. As a result, he was reborn and transmigrated to this world, where he was adopted by a lonely old lady.

The old woman once had a son, but he died fighting on the front lines after joining the Blood God Legion.

On a snowy day, they found Zhou Yang, an infant who was nearly frozen to death, and began to adopt him. Fortunately, the old man was kind-hearted and cared for Zhou Yang as if he were his own grandson.

Unfortunately, just as Zhou Yang was able to live independently, the old man passed away due to illness.

The old man was the only person Zhou Yang respected in the world. Although it sounded strange, in his heart the old man was still alive and well in another world.

Compared to the joys and sorrows brought about by the awakening of martial spirits, the emotions between people are not shared. He seemed completely oblivious to everything around him, his attention completely focused on the game console in front of him.

The awakening of a martial spirit is neither long nor short; it comes quickly and goes quickly.

Soon, the parents in front of the boy gradually left, and it was finally the boy's turn.

"Zhou Yang!"

"They're here."

Upon hearing the call from the staff of the awakening ceremony, the boy put away his game console, and a glimmer of light finally flashed in his previously calm eyes.

"Sister, thank you for your trouble."

He handed over his information and smiled gently at the registration staff. Combined with the numerical values ​​on his face, the childlike, healing smile instantly pierced the staff's hearts, which had long been lost in fatigue.

Having mastered the rules of survival, Zhou Yang was extremely adept at this approach, handling everyone perfectly, whether they were older women or mature aunties.

Therefore, their daily lives are quite well taken care of.

Zhou Yang also found this very interesting. After being reborn, he was taken care of in this life and transformed into a numerical monster again. If he didn't make the most of his numerical stats, wouldn't his rebirth have been in vain?

Looking at Zhou Yang, the female staff member's previously stern face relaxed and softened.

Seeing that there were no adults around the boy, she asked with concern, "Why did you come to awaken alone? Where is your family?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yang paused, let out a long sigh, and slowly spoke. His face remained expressionless, but his calm tone betrayed a suppressed emotion.

"I was raised by my grandmother, but she's no longer with us."

"……sorry."

Female staff member: I deserve to die!

At that moment, the female staff member wanted to slap herself a few times. Why did she have to say this?

Her gaze towards Zhou Yang was filled with maternal love as she spoke softly.

"The awakening ceremony is in that room, let's go in quickly."

Zhou Yang nodded and hurriedly entered the awakening room.

The Awakening Room is engraved with various runes, arranged in a special pattern around the room, with different shapes that are dazzling to the eye.

Zhou Yang's gaze shifted to the center, where there stood an old man dressed in the uniform of the Spirit Pagoda. The uniform was entirely black, with purple patterns inlaid around it, and on his chest was a very prominent octagonal badge, symbolizing the identity of the Spirit Pagoda.

"Child, come here, I'll awaken your martial soul."

The old man had a kind smile on his face. As a soon-to-retire spiritualist, what he loved most was witnessing these children, who symbolized the future, take their first steps in life and shine brightly.

Without wasting any words, he began to teach Zhou Yang the relevant procedures for awakening his martial soul. Seeing that Zhou Yang quickly mastered it, he nodded in satisfaction and activated his soul power with his fingertips.

"Don't be nervous, concentrate and feel your martial spirit."

The two were inside the six-pointed star formation in the Awakening Chamber. As the old man activated it, the inscriptions in the Awakening Chamber were activated.

In an instant, a white light appeared, spreading outwards from the two people and activating the surrounding inscriptions. The inscriptions flashed continuously, layer by layer, gradually spreading from the ground to the ceiling, playing their role. The awakening room was filled with this light from all around, as bright as if it had entered a world of light.

Zhou Yang's tightly closed eyes tightened, and the blinding light around him stimulated his body. He felt something inside him being gradually stirred.

The energy fluctuations, which started as tiny fluctuations, continued to spread and converge, eventually condensing into a warm current that spread throughout the body, making one feel exceptionally comfortable.

Zhou Yang felt as comfortable as if he had just stepped into his bathroom and taken a hot bath after a hard day's work in the frigid north, leaving behind the company and dealing with tedious matters. He wanted to shout out loud, or as the saying goes, he couldn't help but hum softly.

The warm current, as if breaking free of shackles, flowed freely throughout the body, spreading all over it.

Finally, as the critical point was reached, the power accumulated in the body finally erupted.

Click, click, click—

Time seemed to be held in check, and the once orderly working gears were brought to a halt by an incredibly domineering force.

All the sounds and colors of the world were taken away at this moment, leaving only a hazy grayness, silence, and utter stillness.

Zhou Yang's consciousness gradually awoke from the deep sensations. He looked around and saw that the original white light had been replaced by alternating dark gold and white gold, enveloping him.

He quickly realized something was wrong.

The old man in front of them remained suspended in mid-air, maintaining his previous posture without any change or reaction, like a doll, devoid of any vitality.

As if he had thought of something, he took out the game console, suspended it in mid-air, and then let go.

No one was left behind.

"Wow, has this awakened a Zawalud?"

Time has stopped, and everything around us is like the scenes in many serious and unserious comics I've seen before.

Feeling the reaction in his waist, he looked down and saw that his waist was surrounded by dark golden lightning bolts, crackling and flashing constantly with the changing light, each one a different image.

After a series of alternations, it finally transformed into a heavy, large gold watch.

He recognized that presence as well.

"Have I become Oma?"

Without any hesitation, the belt replaced the brain, and the Oma Zi-O replaced thinking!

Zhou Yang's hands moved swiftly, and the carefree smile on his face had vanished without him noticing.

The earth beneath them suddenly cracked open, spewing out large swathes of magma that formed a unique clockwork pattern on the ground, spinning with terrifying power.

Every time the clock chimes, I feel a terrifying tremor deep within my soul.

The moment he realized he had become Oma Zi-O, his body reacted! He thumped his belt!

A series of dark golden gears appeared, covering Zhou Yang and completely enveloping him.

[A Moment of Blessings—]

Supreme Benevolence! Supreme Goodness! Supreme Power! King of the Strongest!

Oma Zi-O!!!

As it was activated, a trembling golden light erupted, soaring into the sky with an overwhelming and domineering aura that seemed to conquer all. The king who suppressed time and space displayed his power here.

Powerful, invincible, supreme!

This is how I feel right now, except—

With a wave of his hand, moving according to his conviction, the old man who had "disappeared" during the transformation reappeared with strange and bizarre movements, reverting to his previous position and actions. The surrounding scene, which had been destroyed by the transformation effect, also returned to normal.

This is the power of Oma Zi-O; time is nothing more than his toy. He can cultivate with a single thought and return with another.

Looking at the increased field of vision around him, Zhou Yang could feel his current immaturity. At the moment of transformation, the resonance between his body and power conveyed its intention.

——Awakening——

This power is merely the tip of the iceberg to help him awaken; the true core still lies within him, awaiting his growth and awakening.

Without any reluctance, he decisively deactivated his transformation and used his remaining power to complete his awakening.

The belts that had just appeared transformed into clusters of light that floated in the air amidst illusory shimmering, and finally solidified into watch faces at their core.

Of course, Zhou Yang recognized them and wanted to reach out and touch them.

Just as Zhou Yang reached out and touched the first ball of light, the other balls of light seemed to receive some kind of command and all merged into Zhou Yang's body.

"Hey, wait a minute, I want to see more."

Seeing that the watch dials seemed to be leaving, Zhou Yang didn't care about anything else and aimed at the most pleasing watch dial, finally grabbing another one.

With the acquisition of the two watch dials, the remaining watch dials all returned to Zhou Yang's body.

Looking at the two differently shaped watch faces, Zhou Yang couldn't suppress the smirk on his face.

The two watches he received were Faiz and Kabuto from the Technology Department. Zhou Yang also felt a strange connection with the two watches, and could summon and put them away at any time.

After putting away the two control dials, his lips twitched, and his smile was about to get out of control, like Light Yagami who only had 35 seconds left.

Having achieved a childhood dream and still having these two toys to play with, anyone who can't laugh can be diagnosed with depression.

"By the way, time."

The large gold watch on the belt had long since disappeared along with the dial and merged into the body. Most importantly, after the large gold watch disappeared, a purple halo transformed into a white plastic-textured dial and driver.

It was none other than Kamen Rider Zi-O.

However, these can be studied later; let's deal with the present first.

However, the next step is necessary—

Zhou Yang, filled with a strong sense of ritual, pointed his finger into the void and stood proudly.

Time has flowed once more!

Because of his thought, time finally began to flow again.
