Douluo Continent: Peerless God General, starting by deceiving Qian Renxue

Chapter 2 Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony

"Your Highness, the time for your Martial Soul Awakening is approaching. The King and Queen have sent me to summon you." A palace maid's voice rang out from outside the door.

Nan Feihuang dressed in a rather formal robe and led the three of them out of the palace.

"This is troublesome, let's go." Nan Feihuang said to the palace maid with a smile.

The palace maid said humbly, "Your Highness, you are too kind. I don't deserve it. This is what I should do."

The Douluo Continent is a society with slavery characteristics. These palace maids, who have no soul power, are actually only slightly higher in status than slaves.

Under normal circumstances, even if Nan Feihuang beat her to death because he was unhappy, no one would say anything.

However, Nan Feihuang was quite different from ordinary nobles. He was very polite to everyone and had no airs or arrogance as a nobleman.

It can be described as half a disadvantage and half a advantage.

The Crown Prince's tutor was both worried that he would lack the domineering presence of a king and pleased that he would surely become a benevolent ruler.

In reality, Nan Feihuang is not a good person at all. His politeness towards people is half hypocritical; he is just creating a persona.

He didn't want to attract too much attention, but he also didn't want to disappoint his father and mother too much.

That's why I seem to have both strengths and weaknesses. Anyway, I'm still young, and in many people's eyes, my values ​​haven't really taken shape yet. Even if they change in the future, it's perfectly normal.

The real Nan Feihuang would certainly be sincere to his own people, but to outsiders, out of ten parts, he is only genuinely kind at most three parts. Of the other seven parts, three parts are evil, and the last four parts are hypocrisy.

Like this moment.

"People may differ in status, but they are all born equal in terms of personality. What is there to be ashamed of in a simple thank you?" Nan Feihuang smiled. "Let's go, Father and Mother must be getting impatient."

Watching Nan Feihuang's retreating figure, the palace maid's eyes sparkled. "All men are created equal. As expected of His Highness the Crown Prince, he can utter such righteous words."

She was filled with admiration for Nan Feihuang, but her expression darkened when she saw the three people following behind him.

His Highness the Crown Prince is good in every way, except that he has a poor eye for people. Of his three childhood friends, one has cerebral palsy, one is mute, and the other's name seems to be cursed, as no one can ever pronounce it correctly.

How could these three be worthy of serving by the Crown Prince's side?

But how could a mere palace maid like her interfere with the Crown Prince's decision?

Upon arriving at the main hall of the royal palace of the Ancient Lei Kingdom, as the crown prince of the country, his awakening of his martial spirit naturally did not need to be presided over by the Martial Spirit Hall.

Inside the palace, there are specialized court soul masters who conduct awakening ceremonies.

Even Nan Feihuang's awakening ceremony was conducted alone, after all, he was the crown prince of a country, and many things were best kept secret.

If Nan Feihuang were to awaken his talent in public, it would inevitably attract criticism if his talent was too poor, and if it was too strong, it might incur the wrath of enemy nations and lead to his death. The second and third princes of the Tiandou Empire, one with outstanding abilities and the other with excellent cultivation talent, were said to have been assassinated by an unknown force for this reason.

From then on, each country became even more protective of its own crown prince.

Hiding is the best course of action. Since he will be the future ruler, if he lacks talent, he should take less action and delegate tasks to his subordinates.

On the throne in the royal palace sat a man and a woman. The man was handsome with a square face and full of majesty. He was Nan Feihuang's father, Nan Tianchen.

The woman beside him was Queen Lan Xue, with beautiful blue hair and stunning looks; she was Nan Feihuang's biological mother.

"Your son greets Father and Mother!" Nan Feihuang stepped forward and bowed.

Upon seeing her beloved son, Lan Xue was overjoyed. "My son is here! Come quickly to your mother's side."

Nan Feihuang walked quickly to Lan Xue's side and was pulled onto her lap by Lan Xue. This queen was a doting mother to her only child and loved him dearly.

Nan Tianchen nodded to Fei Huang. Of course, he also loved his only son, but today was the Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony. Those who came to awaken were all nobles from all over the kingdom. As the king, he needed to maintain his dignity at all times.

"Now that the Crown Prince has arrived, I hereby declare that the Awakening Ceremony of the Kingdom of Gulei shall now begin!" Nan Tianchen decreed.

"Your subject obeys the decree." Several palace soul masters set up an awakening array using awakening stones.

These court soul masters all possess the strength of a Soul King or higher, unlike the blind Douluo Su Yuntao who had to awaken martial souls for each child one by one.

Dozens of noble children or sons of military families, all over six years old, entered the formation.

Driven by the Awakening Array, various dazzling martial spirits emerged.

There are Red Tassel Spear, Mighty Bull, Bullet Ant, Guan Dao, etc., all of which are good martial souls. Their innate soul power is at least level three or four, and the outstanding ones can reach around level six.

In the Douluo Continent, birth is extremely important because martial spirits can be inherited. Families that can become hereditary noble families usually have mid- to high-level martial spirits that can be cultivated.

Compared to those small villages where dozens of children might not produce even one Soul Master, most of those who awaken here today possess Soul Power.

Fei Huang stopped Dian Wei and the others who originally wanted to go as well. He planned to let them awaken with him because he knew that these three had no bad aptitude. To avoid attracting too much attention, it would be better to hide them a little, just like him.

"Nan Feiling, Martial Soul: Ancient Thunder Book, Innate Soul Power: Level 7.5!"

Just then, a girl with exceptional talent appeared.

She has a very similar name to Nan Feihuang and is Feihuang's half-sister, about three months older than Feihuang.

After all, Nan Tianchen was the king, and it was impossible for him to have only one wife, the queen; he also had other concubines.

Even the reason he married Lan Xue was due to some special circumstances; otherwise, given Lan Xue's personality, she would not have married a married man.

Because Lan Xue is currently the number one expert in the Ancient Lei Kingdom, a Soul Douluo of level 89, whose martial soul is the Xuanbing Divine Halberd, which is hailed as a rare top-tier weapon martial soul, comparable to martial souls such as the Clear Sky Hammer and the Seven Kill Sword.

Moreover, the qualities she displayed were in no way inferior to those of the Twin Stars of Haotian back then.

With Lan Xue's talent, breaking through to the Title Douluo level would have been a piece of cake, but unfortunately...

"Father, Mother, look! I've inherited our family's books!" Nan Feiling excitedly ran up to Nan Tianchen, her face full of praise.

After all, she's only six years old and doesn't know the rules very well yet, so of course no one would blame her.

Nan Tianchen nodded in satisfaction. "Yes, Ling'er, since you possess such outstanding talent, you must cultivate diligently in the future and not waste your talent, understand?"

"Yes, Ling'er knows," Nan Feiling said obediently.

He then ran to the side and began to peruse his own books.

The Book of Ancient Thunder is the heirloom martial spirit of the Ancient Thunder Kingdom's royal family.

It is said that the contents of each person's Ancient Lei Book are different, even between fathers and sons, mothers and daughters. One must choose one's cultivation direction based on the information contained in one's own book, whether it be offensive, control, or support.

Nan Tianchen's Ancient Thunder Book is a martial soul that primarily focuses on strong offense and secondarily on control. He has now cultivated it to the Soul Saint stage at level 78.
