Douluo Dalu II: The Peerless Tang Sect

Chapter 4: Mutant Martial Soul and Innate Full Soul Power! (Seeking Recommendation Votes)

Within the six-pointed star array, Zhu Ziyang extended his right hand, and a faint light emanated from it.

His palm faced the sky, and a white light flashed. The next second, a white scythe appeared in his hand, shining with holy radiance—a symbol of light.

Zhu Ziyang was stunned for a moment when he saw the sickle in his palm.

The moment the scythe appeared, Zhu Changhe breathed a huge sigh of relief, a bright smile spreading across his face. The seventh generation of the Zhu family had been passed down. Liang Ying was somewhat disappointed, but also very happy. Although her son hadn't awakened the same martial soul as her, as long as he could become a soul master, that was enough. Although the Zhu family's martial soul was ordinary, each generation had a stable level three or four innate soul power.

"Wow, is this what a Martial Soul is?"

"Yang-ge's martial spirit is a scythe! It looks so cool!"

"I wonder what my martial soul will be?"

"I'm so nervous!"

"..."

Seeing Zhu Ziyang successfully awaken his martial spirit, the children were very excited and made their voices ring out.

However, none of this mattered to Zhu Ziyang. At this moment, Zhu Ziyang was focused on his martial soul, a pure white scythe, not a farming scythe, but a combat scythe.

The slender scythe handle appears to be crafted from silver, its entire surface pure white, engraved with discontinuous, indistinct patterns. The blade's back is initially wide, narrowing towards the tip, which is a serrated, blood-grooved point for thrusting. The entire blade is a gleaming, bright color, with a ring-shaped sub-blade at the rear to balance the weight on both sides, also usable for attack. The handle passes between the two, seamlessly integrating them. The tip of the handle is sharply whitish, like a spearhead, and is engraved with a light-colored skull, giving it a rather eerie appearance.

Overall, it is a very standard war scythe, but the strong aura of light emanating from it indicates that it is not ordinary.

This is his martial spirit, the Radiant Scythe!

Information about martial spirits appeared in Zhu Ziyang's mind.

The Radiant Scythe and the Obscure Scythe are variants of the Martial Soul. They differ by only one word, but they represent the difference between a high-level Martial Soul and an ordinary Martial Soul.

Clearly, the Radiant Scythe Martial Soul is a high-level Martial Soul with the attribute of light.

Although the Zhu family's Obscure Light Scythe Martial Soul possesses the element of light, it is very weak, making it only an incomplete light attribute. In contrast, Zhu Ziyang's Radiant Light Scythe Martial Soul possesses a complete light attribute. According to the theory of elemental affinity, the Obscure Light Scythe's light elemental affinity is less than ten, while the Radiant Light Scythe's light elemental affinity must exceed thirty, thus fulfilling the definition of an attribute-based Martial Soul.

Zhu Ziyang was incredibly excited, and... he glanced at his left hand, a flicker of excitement crossing his mind.

"Haha, the same Gloomy Scythe Martial Soul as Brother Changhe? Not bad, not bad." Hong Zhen didn't notice the difference in Zhu Ziyang's Martial Soul, but that didn't stop him from being happy with the result. Sure enough, it was the right decision to let Zhu Ziyang be the first to awaken, a great start! He grinned and said with a smile, "Come on, Xiao Yang, let's see how much innate soul power you have."

Hong Zhen has already tacitly acknowledged that Zhu Ziyang possesses soul power.

Zhu Ziyang was also looking forward to his innate soul power. Without being taught, he withdrew his martial soul and quickly walked to the other device that Hong Zhen had taken out.

It was a blue crystal ball, the most basic soul power testing device, known as the soul power testing crystal.

"Just put your hand on it," Hong Jin said.

Zhu Ziyang did as instructed, placing his right palm on the crystal ball. Soon, the crystal ball began to glow. Seeing this, Zhu Changhe and his wife were completely relieved. The light from the crystal ball slowly increased, quickly filling the entire ball, and then it shone brightly!

Upon seeing this, Hong Zhen's eyes widened in shock. He took a few steps forward, his gaze fixed on the radiant crystal ball, muttering to himself, "My goodness! It's...it's innate full soul power!"

"Brother Hong, is it really innate full soul power?!" Zhu Changhe and Liang Ying had also come over and asked Hong Zhen, their eyes filled with surprise and excitement.

"That's right, it really is innate full soul power!" Hong Zhen looked at Zhu Changhe and his wife with envy and affirmed, "I've lived for almost forty years, and this is the first time I've ever seen innate full soul power! This is the first innate full soul power in Anyang City! Brother Changhe, you and your wife are truly blessed!"

"That's great, that's great, Changhe, Changhe, look! Our Yangyang has innate full soul power!" Liang Ying exclaimed excitedly, grabbing Zhu Changhe's arm.

"Ouch~ I saw it! Don't pinch me! Hey~" Although Zhu Changhe was also very excited, he was more composed than his wife and did not lose his composure too much.

Zhu Ziyang's eyes widened as he stared intently at the soul power testing crystal, a look of surprise and pride spreading across his face. A mutated high-level martial soul combined with innate full soul power—this was definitely the standard configuration for a Title Douluo-level powerhouse. In the historical records and biographies he had read, the vast majority of the top powerhouses who had left their mark on history possessed innate full soul power.

Now that such talent has fallen into his lap, Zhu Ziyang, who was already unwilling to be mediocre, is extremely excited.

Zhu Ziyang looked at his excited parents, at the shocked Hong Zhen, at his childhood sweetheart who was full of admiration, and at the other children who were full of envy. Suddenly, he enjoyed the feeling of being watched.

His parents took him aside. As he passed Jiang Nannan, he gave her a thumbs-up, and she responded with a sweet smile. Then, guided by Hong Zhen, they entered the six-pointed star formation.

"My good son, you truly are my precious darling!" Liang Ying hugged Zhu Ziyang tightly, her beautiful face filled with excitement as she spoke.

"I never expected that my son would have innate full soul power!" Zhu Changhe exclaimed, his face showing the same excitement and joy as Liang Ying's.

"My good son, this afternoon your dad will take you to hunt for your first spirit ring! That way, my son will be a six-year-old one-ring spirit master, hehehe~" Liang Ying said, then started giggling, her frustration at Zhu Ziyang not having the Snow Dragon Lizard spirit completely gone.

"No!"

"don't want!"

Liang Ying was full of anticipation, but to her surprise, both Zhu Changhe and his son Zhu Ziyang rejected her proposal.

"Huh? Why?" Liang Ying's face immediately fell, and she looked at Zhu Changhe with dissatisfaction and confusion, asking.

"Oh dear, wife, you're too impatient," Zhu Changhe said helplessly. "Hunting for your first spirit ring is no small matter; it will take at least three days. How can we just leave like that? Don't we need to go back and prepare provisions and luggage?"

"Yes, Mom. And I haven't decided which spirit beast to choose for my first spirit ring yet. I need to go back and plan it out first!" Zhu Ziyang said.

"Well... alright! I can't argue with you two, so I'll listen to you." Liang Ying was a little unhappy after hearing what the father and son said, but she realized that she had been too hasty, so she agreed.

Upon hearing this, the father and son breathed a sigh of relief, exchanged a glance, and smiled knowingly.
