Martial Soul Awakening, Sign of the Emperor Dragon, Fierce Garchomp

"Martial Soul Sword, Innate Soul Power Level 3, Next!"

In Shrek City, at the headquarters of the Spirit Pagoda, this year's Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony is being held as scheduled.

Gu Lie stood obediently in the orphanage's line, watching the children in front of him awaken their martial spirits, his heart filled with anticipation.

Ever since being struck by a stroke of luck and transported to the Douluo Continent, Gu Lie hasn't had a single good day.

Even in the Shrek City orphanage, there was bullying reminiscent of Etajima's style in "Little Days," but it was a Korean-modified version.

Awakening a powerful martial spirit and leaving the orphanage is the fastest way for Gu Lie to live a good life.

Otherwise, Gu Lie would have to endure his days in the orphanage until he became the elder brother of 80-year-old kids, but that would be too pathetic.

Perhaps because this is the headquarters of the Spirit Pagoda, the staff are very efficient, and it was soon the orphanage children's turn to awaken their martial souls.

Seeing that none of the lackeys who used to bully the older orphans had any innate soul power, Gu Lie felt a secret sense of satisfaction.

Soon, it was Gu Lie's turn to awaken his martial soul.

"Relax, I'm about to begin!"

With the Spirit Master's reminder, gentle soul power was infused into the six-pointed star formation beneath the Ancient Hunter's feet.

A white light surged from the magic array and gradually enveloped Gu Lie's body.

The next moment, the color of the light surrounding Gu Lie suddenly changed, turning into two colors: purple and earthy yellow.

The two colors spiraled together almost perfectly, flowing into the body of the ancient hunter.

"Hmm? Possessing an earth-attribute dragon martial soul? Why do I feel an unprecedented surge of emotion emanating from this child?"

Not far away, on the platform belonging to the higher-ups of the Spirit Pagoda, Leng Yaozhu, the deputy tower master of the Spirit Pagoda, who was dressed in a red dress and possessed unparalleled beauty and a devilish figure, suddenly felt a tremor, and then revealed an expression of great interest.

Even Yun Ming, the number one person on the continent whom she had once pursued but could never obtain, never stirred that kind of excitement in her.

Beside her stood the elderly man in magnificent clothes, Qian Gu Dong Feng, the master of the Spirit Transmission Tower. He narrowed his eyes slightly before returning to normal.

A mere Dragon Soul Master might not even possess innate soul power. Moreover, apart from Xuanzi, the Sea God Pavilion Master of Shrek Academy and the first Tower Master of the Spirit Pagoda ten thousand years ago, no Limit Douluo has ever appeared with an earth-attribute martial soul.

This child isn't even worth Qian Gu Dong Feng's second glance.

What the Qian Gu family needs is a more powerful genius to assist Qian Gu Zhangting in the future and firmly control the power of the Spirit Pagoda in the hands of the Qian Gu family.

Within the awakening array, as his martial spirit awakens, Gu Lie's body is also undergoing changes.

His body gradually expanded like an inflating balloon, a layer of blue dragon scales appeared on his body surface, his arms and legs became thicker, and his hands turned into sharp dragon claws.

Behind his head, there was something that looked like a shark fin with a gap, with a protrusion on each side.

His teeth also became sharper, like those of a shark.

"This is... the initial form of Garchomp after Mega Evolution, which either reduces its speed or loses its type, Gible?"

"But why is it a spirit possession form? Shouldn't it be a spirit detached from the body?"

"However... this is fine too. Although I can't do dragon dance, I really want to experience the fighting style of a dragon firsthand."

"That way, when I write novels in the future, I won't have to worry about being criticized by trolls who say, 'You've never been a dragon, so what gives you the right to write like this?'"

Feeling the changes in his body after the martial spirit possessed him, Gu Lie revealed a smug smile.

Although Garchomp is not ideal in terms of move learning and Mega Evolution, its strength is undeniable.

Moreover, Gu Lie had a feeling, a strong feeling, that he was destined to become the master of this world and lead it to a better future.

"This is... a new type of Earth Dragon Martial Soul?"

The spirit medium paused for a moment, and based on the feeling he had during the awakening ceremony, he made a rough judgment. Then he turned to look at his direct superior behind him, revealing a pleading look.

He had never seen such a martial spirit before, and in the records inside the Spirit Pagoda, none of the earth dragon martial spirits were similar to the martial spirit of the ancient hunter before him.

According to the rules of the Spirit Pagoda headquarters, when a Spirit Pagoda master encounters a Martial Soul that has never been recorded in the Spirit Pagoda, the Spirit Pagoda master must report it immediately.

"Let's test your innate soul power first."

The team leader pondered for a moment, then made a gesture to the spirit medium.

If Gu Lie truly possesses innate soul power, and it is not low, then according to the rules of the Spirit Pagoda, he has the right to name his own martial soul and register it as a brand new martial soul in the Spirit Pagoda's database.

If your innate soul power is very low, or you have no innate soul power at all, then just find a similar Earth Dragon Martial Soul name for it and assign it to the character; there's no need to waste time.

The spirit master dared not delay and immediately took out an instrument for testing innate soul power.

Gu Lie maintained his Martial Soul possession state and placed his short hand on the device.

"Innate full soul power!"

Seeing the results on the screen, the Spirit Master read them aloud with delight, then looked at Gu Lie with great interest, as if he were looking at a priceless treasure.

"Young hunter, can you tell me what your martial soul is?"

"My martial soul is Garchomp, the strongest earth dragon, and the strongest dragon of all!"

This world has neither Rayquaza nor Arceus from the Dragon Slate, which is why Ancient Hunter speaks with such confidence.

However, he then encountered an awkward situation because his body shape changed drastically when his martial soul was possessed, and his clothes were already torn.

Although he can still barely keep them on his body now, once the martial soul possession is removed, those strips of cloth will most likely fall to the ground, leaving him completely naked.

However, before he could continue to think about how to solve this awkward problem, a fragrant breeze blew by, and a cloak full of fragrance fell on him, enveloping his body.

Before him stood an exceptionally beautiful and dignified woman, radiating a sacred glow.

"Ancient Hunter, would you be willing to become my personal disciple?"

For some reason, Gu Lie felt a powerful tremor throughout his body, mind, spirit, and soul.

It was as if they were two people who were perfectly compatible, admiring each other and being attracted to one another.

"M...I do! I do!"

Without any hesitation, Gu Lie, having released his martial spirit possession, immediately rushed into the arms of the woman, Leng Yaozhu, the deputy tower master of the Spirit Pagoda and the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo.

Six years have passed, and he has not felt that genuine care for six years. It can be said that three years have passed since then.

And now, he has met someone who genuinely cares about him, and they have once again forged a bond that is destined to be deep in the future.
