Awakening of Hainas: Innate Full Soul Power

"Cough cough cough—"

In the deepest, most unfathomable darkness, Ouyang Ling seemed to vaguely see a radiant, azure light that seemed to reach the heavens and the earth. Three distinct shadows appeared and disappeared in his vision.

"How is he?"

His voice was high-pitched and aloof, like the glow of dawn piercing through the darkness.

"She should be waking up soon."

The aged yet slightly respectful tone left Ouyang Ling no time to pay attention to the indistinct scene before him. Faced with the darkness before him, he struggled, desperately trying to open his eyes.

It seems I was rescued by a kind person...

The thought had barely formed in his mind when a powerful energy lent him a helping hand. It was as if an irresistible force was pushing him through the illusion, and his tightly closed eyes were now free of resistance.

"call--"

Instinctively, I suddenly stood up.

As he gasped for breath, Ouyang Ling took in the general outline of what was happening before him. A clean room, not a country lane; a tall, slender but dignified old man, not a depraved soul master with a ferocious, mad expression.

Once he had recovered his senses, Ouyang Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At least I survived.

But what followed was a sudden surge of anxiety.

Just a year ago, he only remembered being sucked into a rift and, by some twist of fate, arriving in the Douluo Continent as a five-year-old child, in a village near Tiandou City.

As he struggled to survive, the villagers were kind-hearted, and those with surplus wealth took care of him.

Until the day before the martial soul awakening,

Four fallen soul masters broke into the village. Their cultivation was not high; they were merely Soul Venerables. But for a village with only Great Soul Masters, their arrival was a disaster. Every villager scattered and cried out, hoping to escape the calamity. Ouyang Ling was among them.

Now I've been rescued by a kind person.

But others…

"Grandpa..."

Ouyang Ling calmed himself down and forced himself to appear composed, trying to glean some information from the old man.

"I don't know."

The old man remained expressionless, showing no emotion whatsoever.

He stopped answering questions, stood up, and walked straight to the side. "I've measured your bone age; it's exactly six years old."

With a wave of his hand, a flash of light appeared from the soul tool at his waist.

Following his movement, Ouyang Ling looked over.

On the somewhat empty ground, a magic circle composed of six black stones and a shining blue crystal ball appeared.

His heart skipped a beat.

It looks like he's about to awaken his martial soul!

"You haven't awakened your martial soul yet, have you?"

The old man's voice pulled Ouyang Ling back to reality.

Ouyang Ling shook his head. "I was supposed to awaken today."

"Then come forward."

The old man gestured for Ouyang Ling to get up from the bed, "You're not seriously injured, and there's no need to postpone the awakening of your martial spirit."

"it is good."

Unaware of the old man's identity, Ouyang Ling had no choice but to let it be. Suppressing his worries, he stepped into the magic array.

"Buzz—"

A golden glow emanated from the six stones, forming a pale golden light shield that enveloped Ouyang Ling.

The old man watched everything calmly until a faint sound of waves shattered his tranquility.

The light faded,

A surprised gaze locked onto the illusory figure behind Ouyang Ling.

"True Dragon Martial Soul!?"

Sensing the aura emanating from the martial spirit, the old man spoke.

However, there was a hint of disbelief in his tone.

A village child who was casually rescued ended up awakening such a top-tier martial soul!? Is he really that lucky?

Compared to his astonishment, Ouyang Ling was also stunned in place.

As for what a martial soul is, he already knows perfectly well.

A brachiosaurus standing on two legs with two hands, wearing ice-blue armor, its entire body covered in sharp ice blocks.

Isn't that the Dragon King—Hainas?!

and many more,

He's become a dragon warrior?!

Even as his thoughts raced, Ouyang Ling forced himself to remain calm. After all, this was undoubtedly a top-tier martial soul!

Unfortunately, it wasn't the final, ultimate sea dragon.

Ouyang Ling abandoned his greedy thoughts, completely suppressing the joy that had been creeping onto his lips, and turned his gaze to the crystal ball.

Noticing his gaze, the old man didn't waste any words and simply handed the crystal ball to him. "Retract your martial soul, then put your hand on it and let me see your innate soul power."

Ouyang Ling didn't waste any words and did as instructed.

The moment he placed his hands on it, "Buzz—"

The entire crystal ball suddenly emitted a dazzling light, with a striking blue light spreading continuously from its center. In less than a breath, the light from the crystal ball seemed to fill half the room.

A few seconds later,

The crystal ball returned to normal.

"Innate full soul power."

The old man's expression was complex, with an indescribable strangeness.

He suddenly felt that his luck for the rest of his life might have been tied up in this one moment.

"You stay in the room and don't move around until I come back."

Without having time to clean up the magic array on the ground, the old man simply put away the crystal ball he had conveniently picked up and hurriedly went outside.

His swift actions left only one sentence in the room:

There was food and a change of clothes on the table.

Just then, "Gurgle~ Gurgle~"

It was a sound that could only be heard by one person, which reached Ouyang Ling's ears.

Either way,

Since things have come to this, let's eat first.

……

"Elder Bloodthorn, how many villagers are still alive?"

A beautiful figure, around fourteen or fifteen years old, sat gracefully on a chair in a room of a mansion. She possessed snow-white skin, a straight nose, delicate phoenix eyes, and a stunningly beautiful face that combined a touch of arrogance with youthful innocence. A long dress enveloped her graceful figure, and her long, golden hair cascaded smoothly over her shoulders.

But at this moment, her stunningly beautiful face was tinged with anger.

"All four fallen ones have been eliminated, but apart from the boy that She Long saved, there is no one left alive in that village."

"That woman became Pope and has been eliminating dissidents! How exactly does she manage the Spirit Hall?! This is the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire, the headquarters of the Spirit Temple, and yet there are still fallen ones here!"

The questioning words made him look down at his nose and his heart.

He pretended not to hear anything about the conflict between mother and daughter.

Once the girl's anger had subsided somewhat, Ci Xue spoke up to remind her, "Young Master, it's best to leave the matter of the Fallen Ones to the Temple. After all, you don't have much time. It would be best to acquire the Soul Rings as soon as possible and return to Xue Qinghe's side as an undercover agent."

The blonde girl understood the gravity of the situation.

For this grand plan, she had been undercover for six years. With the opportunity to replace Xue Qinghe in her place, she naturally could not afford to fail.

"That's settled then."

Although her anger had not subsided, the blonde girl had no choice but to let the matter drop, except to report it to the Spirit Hall.

He then instructed Thornblood, "A village has been massacred by Fallen Ones near Heaven Dou City. Such a heinous incident must be dealt with seriously. As for the surviving child, notify the Spirit Temple. This was their dereliction of duty, and they must make compensation as quickly as possible."

"Elder She Long should have already awakened his martial soul. If he can become a soul master, help him enter the junior academy and compensate him with one thousand gold soul coins. If he cannot become a soul master, give him a place to live and a job. If he has other relatives, help him find them as well."

"Yes."

Ci Xue and the blonde girl were about to let the matter drop.

But at that moment, She Long's voice rang out.

"Young Master."

"It seems Elder Shelong has returned."

She Long, or rather, the old man who had just awakened Ouyang Ling's martial soul, entered after receiving permission from the blonde girl. His first words to Ci Xue and the blonde girl were:

"That child possesses a True Dragon Martial Soul, with innate full soul power."
