Chapter 4 Martial Soul Awakening
"quiet."
A calm yet penetrating voice resounded throughout the hall.
All discussion came to an abrupt halt.
Everyone looked toward the high platform deep inside the main hall—where five large stone chairs were placed.
Seated in the center is Tang Xiao, the current sect master of the Haotian Sect and a level 94 power attack type titled Douluo.
To Tang Xiao's left sat two elders of the Haotian Sect.
The person closest to him was the Grand Elder, Tang Wei.
His beard and hair were all white, but his face was ruddy, and his eyes shone brightly when they opened and closed. His soul power was as high as level 95.
The next one is the Second Elder, Tang Kun, who is Tang Yu's grandfather.
At this moment, he had a stern face, with an expression that said, "I'll beat up anyone who dares to speak ill of my grandson," and his soul power had reached level ninety-one.
To Tang Xiao's right sat a man who looked to be in his early thirties.
He was a little younger than Tang Xiao, and they looked about 70% similar, but their temperaments were completely different.
If Tang Xiao is a steadfast mountain, then this person is a rushing river.
His black hair was casually tied back, with a few strands falling in front of his forehead, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's.
She was dressed in a black outfit, with the sleeves rolled up to her forearms, revealing her well-defined wrists.
This person is none other than Tang Hao, a genius who appears only once in a century in the Haotian Sect.
An 89th-level, powerful attack-type Soul Douluo, just one step away from becoming a Title Douluo.
Tang Yu's gaze lingered on Tang Hao the longest, not for any other reason than that Tang Hao possessed a unique aura that most people lacked: absolute confidence and domineering presence.
This is why Tang Hao, despite not having the cultivation level of a Title Douluo, was able to sit on equal footing with the other two elders.
It's all thanks to this innate confidence and domineering nature.
Even when facing a renowned Title Douluo, he was absolutely confident that he could overpower his opponent, not just to defeat them, but to completely crush them.
Seeing that the room had quieted down, Tang Xiao, sitting in the main seat, continued speaking:
"Alright, let's continue with the Martial Soul Awakening."
Hearing Tang Xiao's words, Tang Yu's thoughts immediately returned, and he perked up instantly, knowing that he was next.
It's inevitable to feel a little nervous when awakening a martial soul for the first time, but Tang Yu was still quite confident, since most martial soul awakenings involve awakening the stronger of the parents' martial souls.
Tang Yu's father's martial soul is undoubtedly the Clear Sky Hammer, while Tang Yu's mother's martial soul is the Soul-Breaking Spear.
As the number one weapon spirit in the world, the Clear Sky Hammer is undoubtedly stronger than the Soul-Breaking Spear. Therefore, the probability of Tang Yu awakening the Clear Sky Hammer spirit is extremely high, unless a vicious mutation of the spirit occurs.
Coincidentally, the child who had just awakened his martial spirit was a member of his maternal family, the Po clan.
A little boy dressed in purple tights walked into the magic circle.
"From the Po clan," someone whispered nearby. "Their clan leader Yang Wudi's grandson. I heard he's been practicing with a spear since he was a child and has quite a talent."
The Awakened Deacon was an elderly man in his sixties with a soul power level of seventy-eight.
As the deacon's soul power was output
hum-
The six-pointed star array glowed with a soft golden light, enveloping the little boy.
Golden light seeped into his body like flowing water, and the little boy trembled slightly, his face showing a mixture of pain and excitement.
"Extend your right hand," the deacon said in a deep voice.
The little boy gritted his teeth and raised his hand.
In an instant, all the golden light burst forth from his palm, condensing into a silver spear about three feet long!
The gun barrel was as straight as a pine tree, and the tip gleamed with a cold light.
The moment the spear appeared, an incomparably sharp aura spread out, and those nearby even felt their skin being pricked by invisible needles.
"Weapon Spirit, Soul-Breaking Spear!" the steward announced loudly.
As time passed, the golden light gradually faded, and the little boy looked at the small gun in his hand with pride in his eyes.
Looking at the small gun in the boy's hand, Tang Yu couldn't help but feel proud of him, after all, the Soul-Breaking Spear was also a top-tier martial soul.
If we're simply comparing the strength of a martial spirit without considering its soul skills, then the Soul-Breaking Spear is in no way inferior to the Clear Sky Hammer, and in some aspects, it might even be superior.
Alright, use your mind to retrieve your martial spirit.
"When I want to use it again in the future, I will summon it with my mind."
After speaking, the butler took out a blue crystal ball, held it in his palm, and handed it to the little boy.
"Next, we will conduct a soul power test."
"Come on, place your hands on top."
Under his guidance, the little boy retrieved his martial spirit—the Soul-Breaking Spear—back into his body, and then covered the blue crystal ball with his small hand.
The moment the little boy placed his hand on it, blue light shone and quickly filled the sphere.
One-tenth, three-tenths, five-tenths... and finally stopped at seven-tenths.
"Innate soul power, level seven!" the deacon's voice rose.
"Whoosh—"
The hall erupted in cheers once again.
A level seven innate talent is already top-tier among affiliated families!
This means that as long as the child doesn't die young, becoming a Soul Douluo is a realistic possibility, and there's even a sliver of hope that he can reach the Title Douluo level!
Tang Yu was not surprised by this result. After all, his research showed that any Soul Master who awakened the Soul Breaking Spear Martial Soul would have an innate Soul Power of no less than Level 5.
Soul Masters who awaken the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul will have innate soul power of no less than level six.
This is because innate soul power is often linked to the strength of the martial soul; the stronger the martial soul, the higher the innate soul power tends to be.
However, luck also plays a role; even if two people awaken the same martial soul, their innate soul power will not be the same.
Even within the same type of martial soul, there can be differences in strength, such as the strength of the martial soul's attributes.
For example, the strength of the lightning attribute of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex martial soul varies; a stronger attribute results in higher innate soul power, while a weaker attribute results in lower innate soul power.
Martial spirits can be inherited, but the strength of their attributes is not necessarily inherited. Therefore, the strength of martial spirit attributes is often random and depends mainly on fate.
If a Soul Master awakens a Turkey Martial Soul with extreme fire, then he is also very likely to awaken innate full Soul Power.
Therefore, innate soul power often involves an element of luck.
However, there are other unexpected situations. For example, the awakened martial soul is too strong, but the awakener's body is too weak to withstand this power, resulting in incomplete awakening of the martial soul and malignant mutation, which leads to low innate soul power.

Upon learning that this was the grandson of Yang Wudi, the current patriarch of the Po clan, everyone offered their congratulations to Yang Wudi.
"Congratulations, Clan Chief Yang!"
"As expected of your grandson, his talent is truly remarkable."
The reason why everyone flattered Yang Wudi so much was not only due to social etiquette, but also because of their respect for genius.
It should be noted that among all the awakened individuals, the highest level of innate soul power they have awakened is only level eight. Therefore, level seven innate soul power is considered very high, and such a person is a genius.
Moreover, in the current Douluo Continent, humanity's research on martial souls is not very thorough, and there are still many unknown areas.
Such as ultimate attributes, evolution of martial souls and attribute enhancement, and the fact that innate soul power can be improved, among many other areas.
People often believe that the height a Soul Master can reach is determined from the moment he awakens his innate Soul Power.
Therefore, the higher one's awakened innate soul power, the more flattery and respect one receives.
