Douluo Continent: Martial Soul - Dragon Abyss Sword, Peerless Prodigy

Douluo Continent, Martial Soul City.

This is the most central and sacred place on the entire continent, a holy land in the hearts of all Soul Masters!

The headquarters of the Spirit Hall.

Inside a magnificent courtyard for orphans of the Spirit Hall, a tall and upright young man stood quietly in the center of the courtyard.

The boy's name was Lin Han.

He looked no more than six years old, but he stood very straight, with delicate features and clear eyes that carried a maturity beyond his years.

No one knew that a soul from Earth lived inside this small body.

Just a few days ago, Lin Han woke up to find himself transported to the Douluo Continent and had become an orphan of the Spirit Hall.

Both of his parents were Soul Saint level experts who died fighting for the Spirit Hall. From birth, he was carefully cared for by the Spirit Hall, and his food, clothing and daily necessities were all of the highest quality, making him superior to most other Soul Master children.

Today is the big day that his martial spirit awakened at the age of six!

"Lin Han! Stop daydreaming! The Martial Soul Awakening is about to begin! If you don't leave now, it'll be too late!"

A chubby boy ran over and called out to Lin Han with an anxious expression.

This is Lin Han's best friend in the orphanage, Little Fatty.

Lin Han snapped out of his reverie, nodded gently, and said calmly, "I understand, I'm coming."

Unlike the other children who jumped up and down excitedly, or were nervous and at a loss, he simply walked towards the Martial Soul Awakening Plaza.

As a transmigrator, he knew better than anyone what the awakening of a martial soul meant.

A good martial spirit and high innate soul power can lead to instant success and make one a powerful figure admired by all.

With a useless martial spirit and low soul power, one can basically only live as an ordinary person in this life.

How could he, a transmigrator, possibly awaken a useless martial soul?

Lin Han felt a faint sense of anticipation.

He walked all the way to the Martial Soul Awakening Platform, where a large group of children of similar age to him had already gathered.

There were orphans of the Spirit Hall and relatives of high-ranking members of the Spirit Hall. They were all dressed smartly, their eyes filled with anticipation and nervousness.

The one who presided over the awakening ceremony was a middle-aged Soul Master wearing a red bishop's robe. He had a calm demeanor and was clearly quite powerful.

The children in the audience whispered among themselves.

"I heard that His Holiness the Pope will be coming in person today!"

"Really? That's the Pope of the Spirit Hall!"

"If I could catch the Pope's eye, my life would be set!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Han's heart stirred.

Your Holiness the Pope... Qian Xunji!

This era was the era when Qian Xunji was in charge of the Spirit Hall, and it was also the era when Bibi Dong had just been accepted as a disciple by Qian Xunji and was beginning to show her talent.

This was an era of outstanding talents and brilliant stars, many years before Tang San was born.

And Lin Han was born in this most magnificent era!

Just then.

An incomparably noble and majestic figure slowly appeared beside the Awakening Platform.

The man wore a gold and white papal robe, a gilded papal crown, and long, golden hair that cascaded over his shoulders. He had a handsome face and an air of superior majesty in his eyes.

It was none other than the Pope of the Spirit Hall, Qian Xunji!

Beside him was a girl who looked no more than seven or eight years old.

The girl had fair skin, an exceptionally beautiful face, and eyes as bright as stars. Her temperament was aloof yet carried a hint of pride.

It was Bibi Dong, the personal disciple whom Qian Xunji had recently taken under his wing!

Twin Martial Souls! Innate Full Soul Power!

A peerless genius, one in ten thousand across the entire Douluo Continent!

"Greetings, Your Holiness the Pope!"

Upon seeing Qian Xunji, the cardinal immediately bowed deeply, displaying the utmost respect.

All the children in the audience held their breath in fear, gazing at that supreme figure with eyes full of admiration.

Qian Xunji waved his hand dismissively, his voice calm and unwavering: "No need for formalities. Begin the Martial Soul Awakening. I'm just observing."

"Yes, Your Holiness the Pope!"

The cardinal dared not delay and immediately picked up the list, calling out names one by one to come up on stage for awakening.

"Wang Hu, Martial Soul: Gray Wolf, Innate Soul Power Level 3, qualified."

"Li Xue, Martial Soul Blue Silver Grass, Innate Soul Power Level 1, Useless Martial Soul, Eliminated."

"Zhao Lei, with the Martial Soul Iron Spear and innate Soul Power Level 5, is eligible to enter the Martial Soul Hall Academy."

One by one, the children took turns going on stage.

Some are happy, some are sad.

Those who awaken a good martial soul are overjoyed, while those who awaken a useless martial soul are dejected.

But the most talented of these children on stage is only a high-level martial soul, with innate soul power at level seven.

Bibi Dong, who was watching from the sidelines, frowned slightly, her pretty little eyebrows furrowed, and her face was full of boredom.

"this one?"

"They're all ordinary stuff; not a single one is even remotely worth looking at."

She was an unparalleled genius with innate full soul power and twin martial souls. Her vision had long been cultivated to be extremely high. In her eyes, this level of talent was no different from trash.

Qian Xunji also shook his head slightly, a hint of disappointment on his face.

Having recently taken in a prodigy as a disciple like Bibi Dong, I have no interest in these ordinary geniuses now.

He had hoped to see if one or two promising talents could emerge from this batch of children at the Spirit Hall.

In hindsight, he was overthinking things.

Just as Qian Xunji was about to turn and leave, and Bibi Dong had completely lost interest.

The cardinal's voice rang out: "Next, Lin Han!"

Lin Han walked out slowly from the crowd.

At six years old, he has a tall and straight posture and a calm demeanor. Although he is the same age as other children, he seems to be quite different from them.

Especially his eyes, clear and firm, with an indescribable sharpness.

Bibi Dong's eyes lit up.

"Huh? This little guy is quite good-looking."

This was the first time she had ever seen such a handsome boy, and she became quite interested in him.

Qian Xunji also stopped and looked at Lin Han, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"This child is not only calm but also has a good mindset; there might be unexpected developments."

Lin Han walked step by step onto the Awakening Platform and stood in the center of the six black Awakening Stones.

The cardinal said gently, "Child, don't be nervous. Relax and guide the martial spirit within you out."

Lin Han nodded and closed his eyes.

He could clearly feel a warm power emanating from the Awakening Stone, flowing into his limbs and bones.

Within my body, a dormant power is awakening and surging wildly!

"Buzz!!!!"

A deafening sword cry suddenly resounded throughout the entire Awakening Plaza!

Followed by.

A dazzling golden sword light shot up from Lin Han's body, piercing the sky!

The once clear sky was now illuminated by the sword light!

Countless people turned pale with fright at this terrifying phenomenon.

The cardinal froze, his eyes widening and his mouth gaping open enough to fit an egg.

"What... what kind of martial soul is this?!"

"This is...this is terrifying! This pressure is even more terrifying than a Title Douluo's martial soul!"

Qian Xunji took a sudden step forward, his eyes bursting with an unprecedentedly intense light!

Having lived for so many years, he had seen countless powerful martial spirits: the Clear Sky Hammer, the Seven Kill Sword, the Six-Winged Angel...

No other martial spirit possesses such terrifying power upon awakening!
