Douluo Continent: Awakening the Original Martial Soul at the Start.

Chapter 4 Martial Soul Awakening

A week passed quickly.

The weather was nice that day, sunny and bright, giving one a lazy feeling.

Li Fei and Li Fan didn't exercise today. The two brothers changed into brand new clothes. Li Fan was still wearing a black outfit with a few simple patterns on it, which made him look very handsome.

Li Fei wore a white short-sleeved shirt and black shorts, looking energetic and full of spirit.

Both brothers had eyes full of anticipation, especially Li Fei, who, as a modern man, had dreamed countless times of possessing extraordinary power, upholding justice, and roaming the world.

I am very much looking forward to the first step towards becoming extraordinary through the awakening of my martial soul.

The two brothers hurried to the living room, where Li Ming and Jiang Xin were already waiting. Li Ming was holding six black stones, while Jiang Xin was holding a blue crystal ball—the Martial Soul Awakening Stone and the Soul Power Detection Crystal.

Both of their parents were Soul Masters, and at a high level. In addition, their family was very wealthy, so it was incredibly easy for them to buy a set of Martial Soul Awakening Stones. Therefore, both brothers awakened their Martial Souls at home.

Of course, most Soul Master families do this; they don't want the Spirit Hall and other forces to know their children's specific information.

"Dad! Mom! Let's get started!" Li Fei shouted excitedly.

Although Li Fan did not speak, the hope and expectation in his eyes were unprecedented as he kept looking at the Martial Soul Awakening Stone.

"As long as I awaken my martial soul and become a soul master in the future, I can avenge my parents!" Li Fan shouted in his heart, a trace of hatred appearing in his eyes.

The perceptive Jiang Xin noticed Li Fan's unusual behavior. Recalling the investigation results from the year she adopted Li Fan, she felt a pang of heartache and sighed inwardly, unsure how to comfort him.

He winked at Li Ming beside him, who immediately understood and sighed inwardly.

The two clearly remembered Li Fan's initial investigation results: he was a survivor of a village attacked by evil spirit masters. He had been wandering in Ze'an City since he was three years old, scavenging for a living. During this time, he was deceived by many people, which gradually shaped his current taciturn personality. He also became very meticulous and cautious, which allowed him to survive many times.

"Fan'er, come up and awaken first!" Li Ming said, waving his hand, and the six awakening stones were arranged in the shape of a six-pointed star on the ground.

"Yes, Father!"

Li Fan respectfully called out, slowly walked into the six-pointed star, and gently closed his eyes.

"Orange Cat Possession!" An orange light flashed between Li Ming's brows, and a sharp meow rang out. Li Fei saw a fat orange cat fly out, running around in the air with its short, thick legs, before merging with Li Ming.

In an instant, Li Ming's appearance changed. His already obese body became even rounder, his hands and feet grew larger, and he acquired cat-like features. His nails also became very long, shimmering with a metallic luster. Even his face gained six cat whiskers, making him look chubby and extremely cute.

"This image is truly beyond words; I guess I'm just not a fan of fat cats!!"

Even after seeing it many times, Li Fei still wanted to complain that perfectly good cat-like martial souls had been developed into this state.

Ignoring Li Fei, Li Ming stretched out his hand and directly injected six streams of soul power into the Martial Soul Awakening Stone. Golden light flashed, enveloping Li Fan within it, and countless golden light spots rose from the ground and merged into Li Fan's body.

"Fan'er, extend your right hand!"

Li Fan's body trembled slightly. Upon hearing Li Ming's words, he immediately extended his right hand, and a ten-centimeter-long black iron rod appeared in Li Fan's hand.

"This is a wrought iron rod, a common weapon spirit with excellent attack power! Most importantly, the wrought iron rod spirit definitely possesses spirit power."

Li Ming looked him over and smiled as he provided information about his martial soul. Upon hearing this, Li Fan smiled happily, displaying the characteristics of a child.

"Come on, Fan'er, let's test your soul power!"

Seeing this, a hint of joy appeared in Jiang Xin's eyes. She took the crystal ball, walked up to Li Fan, squatted down, and said gently.

"good!"

Li Fan placed his hand on the crystal ball, and a bright blue light shone forth, filling sixty percent of the entire crystal, making it extremely dazzling.

"The crystal is 60% full! Excellent! Fan'er, you have innate soul power at level six. As long as you work hard, becoming a Soul Saint won't be a problem!"

Jiang Xin excitedly hugged Li Fan and shouted happily. Li Fan's body stiffened, and then tears began to flow uncontrollably. He put away his martial spirit, put his arms around Jiang Xin's neck, and that familiar warm feeling made him unconsciously call out "Mom!"

"Ming-ge, did you hear that?! Fan'er called me 'Mom'! She's not my mother anymore!"

Jiang Xin's body trembled, and she picked up Li Fan, her voice trembling as she looked at Li Ming with disbelief.

"Xin'er, you heard right, Fan'er really called you Mom!" Li Ming said with a smile.

Li Fei smiled as well, genuinely happy for Li Fan's transformation, having witnessed it firsthand. What a joke! He's an adult; how could he possibly be jealous of something like this?!

"Fei'er, it's your turn!"

Li Fei nodded and walked into the six-pointed star. With the infusion of Li Ming's soul power, a large number of light spots continuously surged into his body.

He quickly closed his eyes and meditated, sensing the changes within his body. After the light entered his body, it began to surge into his limbs and bones.

"This feels so good! Is this what martial soul awakening is like?!"

A cool sensation washed over his entire body, so comfortable that Li Fei unconsciously groaned, enjoying the changes in his body. At this moment, Li Fei had a strange feeling that he could control his body.

Extend your right hand!

Upon hearing Li Ming's words, Li Fei opened his eyes and stretched out his right hand, but there was nothing there.

What?!

Li Fei looked completely bewildered, unaware that his entire body was emitting a faint white light, which was difficult to detect in this environment.

Unconvinced, Li Fei stretched out both hands at the same time, only to find nothing.

"Does this mean I don't have a martial spirit?! Is it because I transmigrated?! But I can clearly feel the flow of soul power, and I can cultivate!"

An indescribable sense of loss welled up in Li Fei's heart, and his eyes reddened. He couldn't believe it, so he lowered his head. His mind was in turmoil, and all sorts of emotions surged up.

Doubt, denial, and confusion about the future.

Jiang Xin, Li Fan, and Li Ming were also quite surprised and at a loss, unsure how to comfort Li Fei, who had never experienced anything like this before, without a martial spirit.
