Douluo Continent: Tonight, a Fairy Tale Descends

The surrounding temperature seemed to have dropped a little more, and the ice crystals condensing in the air seemed to have become denser.

Under everyone's gaze, a blurry beastly figure began to appear on his right hand.

It was a large bear cub covered in thick, white fur.

Ice Bear!

Anxi's usually calm and collected eyes lit up the moment she saw the Ice Bear Martial Soul take shape.

He knew this martial spirit; in the vicinity of Frost City, ice-type beast martial spirits were not extremely rare.

However, the Ice Bear is definitely a high-grade martial soul with great power and considerable potential.

"good very good!"

For the first time, Anxi's voice took on a touch of warmth, "Child, place your hand on the crystal ball. Concentrate and feel the power within you."

Gouwa was a little confused by Anxi's reaction, but he still did as he was told and carefully placed his little hand, which was still covered in chilblains, on the crystal ball.

Anxi's heart was in his throat.

Lin Wan also held his breath; he knew the crucial moment was approaching.

The moment Gouwa's palm touched the crystal ball, the dark crystal ball emitted a gentle golden light.

The light was steady and dazzling, casting a golden glow on Gouwa's little face and Anxi's surprised face.

"Innate Soul Power Level 7!"

Anxi's voice was filled with barely concealed excitement, "Good! Excellent! Child, what's your name? Would you like to join the Spirit Hall? The Spirit Hall can provide you with the best training, allowing you to become a powerful Spirit Master!"

His gaze as he looked at Gouwa was filled with the joy of discovering a hidden gem.

With innate soul power at level 7 and the Ice Bear Martial Soul, this is definitely a promising talent worth nurturing.

He had been awakening his martial spirit for decades and finally encountered a promising talent.

Chapter 4: Martial Soul Awakening

For Anxi, as long as he sends the genius Gouwa to the Spirit Hall, he can gain enormous benefits, and he might even be able to live in Spirit City.

The sudden surprise completely stunned Gouwa, whose brain was already struggling to keep up.

He glanced at the crystal ball radiating golden light, then at the excited Soul Master, and finally subconsciously looked at Lin Wan in the crowd.

He scratched his messy hair, and stammered with a heavy nasal tone, "I...I...I need to ask Brother Wan first!"

"Brother Wan?"

Anxi paused slightly, then followed Gouwa's gaze to Lin Wan.

He was a boy who was equally thin, but whose eyes were unusually calm, unlike a six-year-old child.

A hint of surprise crossed his mind, but he didn't delve into it, simply nodding gently.

"Okay, go stand aside and think about it carefully."

He gestured for Gouwa to stand behind him near the magic circle, his attitude clearly extremely eager.

After all, he is a genius who has the potential to become a Soul Saint in the future, so befriending him is the best choice.

After Gouwa, it was Lin Wan's turn.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm his wildly beating heart with the cold air.

Three years of waiting, more than a thousand days and nights of struggling in hunger and cold, all the hope and despair have now converged in this moment.

Lin Wan took a step and stepped onto the six-pointed star array made of black stones.

As he stood in the center of the magic circle, Anxi once again infused the six black stones with his soul power.

hum!

The golden light shone again, stronger and more dazzling than ever before.

Countless golden points of light appeared and then surged into Lin Wan's body.

coming!

He subconsciously raised his right hand.

In that instant, Lin Wan felt something surging wildly outward from the palm of her right hand.

The feeling was so intense that his entire right arm began to tremble slightly.

Looking at Lin Wan surrounded by the soft light, Anxi couldn't contain his joy.

The aura of this awakened martial spirit is even greater than that of the ice bear from before.

"Concentrate! Guide it!"

Anzai's voice came through with a hint of seriousness.

Lin Wan closed her eyes, forcing herself to concentrate all her energy to feel and guide the power surging and roaring in her right hand.

boom!

A pure, snow-white light burst forth from Lin Wan's raised right palm without warning.

The light was so gentle and holy that it instantly dispelled part of the golden light of the magic array, like a bright moon rising in a golden ocean.

The light condensed and took shape.

A creature gracefully floated above Lin Wan's palm.

Its entire body was covered with pure, soft fur, as pure as fresh snow, without a single impurity, which emitted a faint glow in the dim palace.

Its body is slender and graceful, with lines so perfect they resemble the work of the Creator.

Nine fluffy, furry tails curled naturally behind it, with a dreamy icy blue tip.

What is most captivating are its eyes—long, bright, and seemingly holding the secrets of the entire icy forest. The pupils are a deep, icy blue, like the purest, millennia-old ice, and at this moment, they gaze at the world with a hint of naivety and curiosity.

Exquisitely beautiful! Pure and mysterious!

An uncontrollable gasp of amazement filled the entire hall.

The children forgot the cold and hunger, and stared intently at the phantom of the nine-tailed fox floating in the golden light.

Even the well-traveled and knowledgeable Anzai was amazed.

The quality and spirituality of this martial spirit far surpass those of the previous Ice Bear.

He even subconsciously held his breath, and the faint expectation in his heart was magnified countless times in an instant.

With such agile and top-tier beast martial soul, could Hanbei Village be about to produce a second genius?

No, this could be innate full soul power!

"Quick! Put your hand on the crystal ball!"

Anxi's voice was somewhat urgent as she immediately handed the crystal ball to Lin Wan.

He leaned forward slightly, his icy blue eyes fixed intently on the crystal ball.

Lin Wan was also a little nervous at this moment, after all, this was crucial to her future.

He placed his right hand on the crystal ball and felt a suction force coming from it.

The crystal ball instantly emitted a burst of intense golden light.

However, Lin Wan's expression was somewhat strange at this moment, even though she was inside the magic array.

[Ding! A small amount of high-purity, medium-grade energy has been detected, meeting the system's minimum activation threshold. System activation in progress...]

【进度1%……10%……50%……90%……100%】

System activation successful, binding program launched.

[Binding successful, character panel unlocked, newbie gift pack sent to system space]

[Host: Lin Wan (6 years old)]

[Martial Soul: Nine-Tailed Fox]

[Innate Soul Power: Level 10]

[Reputation Points: 100 (Initial Activation Reward)]

From the outside, the scene inside the magic circle appeared as if Lin Wan's right hand had just touched the crystal ball, and the crystal ball did indeed emit a dazzling golden light.

However, the light only flashed for a moment before disappearing instantly, leaving only a thin layer of light inside the crystal ball.

Anxi looked at the crystal ball again in disbelief, and after confirming that there was only a thin layer, the expectation in his eyes vanished instantly.

He looked up at Lin Wan, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

He never expected that a martial soul with such high quality would only have a level one innate soul power.

He sighed as he looked at Lin Wan's thin body, guessing that her weak constitution had damaged her innate foundation.

“Innate Soul Power Level 1.” Anxi’s voice returned to calm.

He looked at Lin Wan, who was still in a daze within the magic circle, and spoke with rare kindness: "Little friend, the awakening is over, and you can become a Soul Master now."

Lin Wan snapped out of her daze and calmly said, "Thank you, Soul Master."

He stepped out of the magic circle and stood aside.

Those children who hadn't awakened their soul power looked at Lin Wan with envy, and even some jealousy.

They wouldn't be jealous of Gouwa, because the gap between them and Gouwa was too great, so great that they could only look up to him. After all, even the esteemed Soul Masters of the Spirit Hall treated Gouwa with great kindness.

But Lin Wan was different. Although he had also awakened his soul power, it was only at level 1. The respected soul masters of the Spirit Hall treated him no differently than they did.

Therefore, besides envy, they also felt a great deal of jealousy.

Why is it that a frail orphan can awaken soul power while they don't?

Lin Wan didn't care about the children's jealousy and malice. After all, he had awakened his martial spirit and would soon be leaving Hanbei Village.

The children who awakened after Lin Wan also mostly had useless martial souls, none of them possessed soul power.
