"Activate!"
Tang Luochuan suppressed his inner excitement as he touched the crystal ball, his mind racing with thoughts.
[The Most Striving System has been successfully bound.]
[Host: Tang Luochuan]
[Martial Soul Obtained: Golden Dragon]
[The Golden Dragon is a branch of the Dragon King lineage, possessing ultimate power.]
[Talent Activated: Innate Full Soul Power]
[Current Cultivation Level: Lv.10 (Zero-Ring Soul Scholar)]
In an instant, the system's voice echoed in his ears once more, causing him to relax completely. His eyes were filled with uncontrollable excitement.
Fate was indeed on his side!
Innate Full Soul Power, Martial Soul Golden Dragon!
This talent was more than enough!
Not to mention the system. In this era of Dragon King conflicts, he was destined to lead his younger brother to challenge the Tang Great God King!
"Most importantly..."
"At least our family can live in peace, and Wu Lin won't have to endure the suffering of being frozen."
Tang Luochuan let out a sigh of relief. After so many years of rebirth, he didn't want anything to happen to his family. To achieve this, he needed to possess top-tier strength!
"System, what abilities do you have?"
Without hesitation, he communicated with it.
[Ding, I'm just exceptionally striving.]
[As a newcomer, I'll gift you—]
[Heaven-defying Comprehension]
[On any cultivation path, you will possess an overwhelming, innate advantage.]
In the next moment, as the system's voice rang out, a welcome gift entered Tang Luochuan's ears, causing his body to tremble.
Heaven-defying Comprehension!
Just the name alone was extraordinary. Even the system gave it a heaven-defying evaluation—it must be invincible!
"The system is generous."
He couldn't help but marvel in his heart, though he was still curious about what exactly the system meant by "striving."
Until the next moment...
[Detected that the host sacrificed 20 years of peach blossom luck in exchange for a decent Martial Soul and talent.]
[The system is dissatisfied and has decided to punish the host with 20,000 years of peach blossom luck. Let this be a warning.]
Tang Luochuan: ?
"Huh?"
"Wait... how much?"
Hearing this, Tang Luochuan was dumbfounded.
On one hand, he hadn't expected his sacrifice of peach blossom luck to succeed. On the other hand, he never imagined the system would punish him with an additional 20,000 years of peach blossom luck?
Even two years, or twenty years, he could have accepted. But 20,000 years of peach blossom luck? Did that mean he'd have it until he was over 20,000 years old?
System, you're really that striving, huh!
"Ridiculous..."
"I hope such a win-win situation can happen more often in the future."
Tang Luochuan's face twisted with a strange expression. He couldn't help but marvel at the sheer terror of his system.
[This system is fiercely striving.]
[The host's current Martial Soul is a top-tier beast Martial Soul, the Golden Dragon, which does not match the host's status. The system has upgraded it to the Golden Dragon King.]
[Note: Those with the Golden Dragon King Bloodline Seal within their bodies can only possess up to 99% of its energy, not the full power of the Golden Dragon King.]
[There is only one Golden Dragon King in the world.]
When Tang Luochuan heard that his Martial Soul had evolved into the Golden Dragon King, he completely lost his composure.
The Golden Dragon King... is me?
Oh no!
Wu Lin has become my substitute!
Good news: I can protect Wu Lin well.
Bad news: This protection might be a bit too much.
"..."
"Both parents, you can come in together now."
Not long after, the Spirit Transfer Master brought Tang Luochuan to the entrance. Looking at Tang Ziran and Lang Yue before him, his face was filled with respect as he gestured to welcome them inside.
"Spirit Transfer Master, this is..."
Seeing this scene, Tang Ziran and his wife couldn't help but be startled. Could their identities have been exposed? That shouldn't be the case.
They had chosen to live ordinary lives in Aolai City, taking on the most basic jobs. Their status was far from noble—it had nothing to do with nobility at all.
Given their ordinary status in Aolai City, why would a Spirit Transfer Master of the Soul Venerable level act this way?
"Spirit Transfer Master, isn't this a bit of preferential treatment? The rest of us parents are waiting outside. Why can this family go in?"
"That's right! My son, Wang Teng, has the potential to become a Soul Ancestor!"
One parent voiced their dissatisfaction. It was the rule that parents couldn't disturb their children during the awakening ceremony.
"Why?"
"Because their son is a genius, a top talent capable of catching the attention of the higher-ups in the Spirit Transfer Pagoda. Is that reason enough?"
Su Haitao responded coldly to these questions, not caring about the feelings of others as he led the three of them into the pagoda.
"A top genius!"
"No wonder the Spirit Transfer Master treated that family with such importance. If that's the case, then there's no problem..."
Hearing this, the crowd finally understood and closed their mouths, still feeling a bit uneasy. The person who had spoken earlier even broke out in a cold sweat.
He had just questioned the Spirit Transfer Pagoda!
Fortunately, the Spirit Transfer Pagoda was magnanimous. If it had been someone else, he might have been met with a deadly consequence.
"Uncle."
"You said my brother is a top genius, right?"
On the other side, Tang Wulin, who had entered the pagoda, was filled with excitement and couldn't wait to ask.
"Spirit Transfer Master, my son, he..."
Tang Ziran was also filled with astonishment.
The Spirit Transfer Pagoda had awakened many children, but for them to praise his son so highly, just how strong was his talent?
"Innate Full Soul Power."
The next moment, Su Haitao slowly uttered these five words, causing Tang Ziran and Lang Yue's eyes to widen in shock.
Innate Full Soul Power!
The significance of these five words was immense. Since ancient times, those who possessed this talent, as long as they didn't die prematurely, would inevitably become powerful figures in the future.
The couple's own Innate Soul Power was only at level seven. Thanks to their hard work and secondary profession talents, they had already become top Mecha Designers certified by the Federation.
So, where would their son's achievements lead in the future?
A Titled Douluo, or even—a Super Douluo!
"Innate Full Soul Power!"
Little Tang Wulin's eyes sparkled with admiration. His brother was truly amazing!
"Mom, Dad, Wu Lin, you're here."
Noticing his family's arrival, Tang Luochuan greeted them with a smile.
"Luo Chuan."
"Let me see your Martial Soul."
Tang Ziran's face was filled with curiosity, and Lang Yue was no different, unable to hold back her eagerness.
"Alright."
Tang Luochuan nodded. As he released his Martial Soul, a massive Golden Dragon phantom appeared behind him, accompanied by the resonant roar of a dragon.
And his entire body was involuntarily covered in a layer of golden armor and Golden Dragon Scales.
"..."
At this moment, Su Haitao's expression changed drastically. Why did it feel like the opponent's Martial Soul was even more oppressive than before?
"What a formidable dragon's might."
Tang Ziran's expression was even more dramatic, his pupils filled with shock as he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
"I knew it."
"Big brother must have awakened a powerful Martial Soul."
Tang Wulin looked at his elder brother with excitement, his face brimming with smiles, clearly overjoyed as he spoke.
He couldn't tell how strong the Martial Soul was, but he knew that his brother's potential was immense, and that was enough.
"I believe it."
"I will also have a very good talent!"
Little Wulin's face was filled with hope, his heart filled with imagination as he spoke confidently.
He believed that his talent would definitely not be weak!
"Big brother told me that Martial Souls like the White Tiger, Divine Dragon, Seven Kill Sword, and Clear Sky Hammer are all very powerful. I hope I can awaken one of those..."
"As long as it's not Blue Silver Grass, it's all good."
Tang Wulin's eyes were filled with contemplation as he obediently extended his right hand, silently thinking to himself.
When he was young, his brother had said that the stories of the Tang Sect were just tales to fool children, so he didn't tell him about them. Instead, he introduced him to the many powerful Martial Souls in this world.
He had long heard his brother talk about most of the Martial Souls on the continent. There were many strong ones, but the weakest one was also firmly etched in his mind—Blue Silver Grass!
"Wulin..."
Looking at the hopeful boy before him, Tang Luochuan's resentment towards Tang San grew even stronger. Using Wulin as a pawn in a grand scheme spanning millennia, yet not even giving him a decent starting point.
What was the deal with this innate level three talent?
"Little friend, Uncle will now awaken your Martial Soul. Since your brother's Martial Soul is so powerful, yours surely won't be bad either!"
"Focus your mind, relax your breathing..."
Spirit Transfer Master Su Haitao gently guided the boy before him, his voice soft, his eyes also filled with anticipation.
Since the elder brother was a peerless genius, this younger brother surely wouldn't be far behind, right?
Even if it wasn't Innate Full Soul Power, it would likely be an innate level seven or eight talent—a top-tier genius who would be a formidable presence across the entire continent.
"Yes, Uncle!"
Tang Wulin's thoughts were simple. As long as his talent was decent, that would be enough. The most important thing was...
"Blue Silver Grass is universally recognized as the weakest Martial Soul."
"As long as it's not Blue Silver Grass, it's fine."
"..."
Not long after, Tang Wulin repeatedly stared at the harmless Blue Silver Grass in his palm, his heart filled with confusion.
Blue Silver Grass...
Why did it have to be Blue Silver Grass!
