Chen Changfeng knew that in the Douluo Continent,
Soul Skills were divided into nine levels, from weak to strong, just like Soul Masters to Title Douluos.
Soul Skills above Title Douluo were considered Divine Skills,
including those of the ninety-ninth level Limit Douluo.
He was only at level ten and had already learned a Divine Skill?
And he could even unleash it directly.
"Alright, the Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony is complete,"
the Martial Soul Awakening teacher reminded him. "As is customary, the teenagers who successfully awaken their Martial Souls must undergo their first Martial Soul Possession lesson. Now, the thirty-seven students who have successfully awakened their Martial Souls, please follow your teachers to the Soul Hunting Mountain Range behind the mountain to complete your first trial."
Indeed.
This was a unique teaching method of the Martial Soul Academy.
Soul Masters weren't pampered; the teenagers of the Martial Soul Academy, after awakening their Martial Souls, would immediately come into contact with Soul Beasts and grow under pressure. Under the protection of the academy's teachers, these awakened teenagers wouldn't be in real danger.
Like the Soul Hunting Forest of the Heaven Dou Empire, the Soul Hunting Mountain Range is a place for raising soul beasts. The soul beasts there are generally not very old and are not as ferocious as those in the Star Dou Great Forest, making it perfect for young people who have just awakened their martial souls.
Soon,
under the teachers' arrangement, the thirty-seven youths stepped forward, including Chen Changfeng, and the youth team headed directly to the Soul Hunting Mountain Range behind the mountain.
"Yue Guan,"
Bibi Dong, watching the youth team leave from the high platform, suddenly spoke, "Notify Dean Edmund that after the trial, he should send Hu Liena to the Spirit Hall. I wish to take that girl as my direct disciple."
With that, Bibi Dong disappeared from the Spirit Academy.
Yue Guan accepted the order and also transformed into a golden light, shooting into the Spirit Academy.
At the end of the youth team,
Chen Changfeng watched the disappearing figures on the high platform with slightly narrowed eyes, feeling a pang of regret. It seemed these two love-struck fools were destined to become master and disciple; the Spirit Hall was bound to be in trouble with Bibi Dong and Hu Liena in the future.
Hopefully, those two won't make any foolish mistakes in the future, or they'll be the first to be destroyed.
Until the group of teenagers had gone far away.
A handsome man who looked to be only in his thirties or forties appeared before the Awakening Platform. Looking at the empty Martial Soul Academy square, he frowned, seemingly searching for something, but finding nothing.
Finally, Qian Daoliu shook his head, muttering, "Could the angelic power have sensed something wrong? But that aura of destruction...?"
*Crack!*
Just as Qian Daoliu was about to leave, a cracking sound came from the Awakening Crystal Platform.
It was a wisp of purple energy remaining after the Martial Soul's awakening. In Qian Daoliu's widening eyes, the crystal ball on the Awakening Platform instantly lit up. The dazzling purple light spread from a single point, and in the blink of an eye, the crystal ball shone like a brilliant purple gem. Then, a purple beam of light shot into the sky, incredibly astonishing.
*Crack! Crack! Crack!*
Then came a dense series of cracking sounds.
Looking around...
A fine crack appeared on the awakening crystal, then spread rapidly like a spider web.
Bang!!!
The next second, the awakening crystal shattered on the awakening platform, startling Qian Daoliu so much that he couldn't help but widen his eyes. "Destructive power! There was just a child!" The
Soul Hunting Mountain Range
, the lowest-grade ten-year soul beast area, was home to many ghost-faced pigs. These pigs were not only physically imposing but also fierce-looking, making it the perfect area for young soul warriors like those from the Martial Soul Academy who had just awakened their martial souls to hone their courage.
The youth team had also arrived at the entrance to the Soul Hunting Forest.
When they saw this vast mountain forest before them, they were all quite shocked. Chen Changfeng was no exception, as this was his first time seeing the primeval forest behind Martial Soul City. Everything was even more magnificent than expected.
The towering trees showed their age, and a huge steel fence surrounded the forest, with numerous sharp spikes protruding from one side. The fence was over ten meters high and looked extremely sturdy.
That wasn't all. Outside the fence, a squad of a hundred Spirit Hall soldiers was patrolling. These soldiers were all clad in full-body iron armor, wielding long spears, their military bearing impeccable. The sight of a hundred steel warriors standing together exuded a chilling aura.
The captain of the inspection team, upon seeing the teachers from the Spirit Academy, immediately showed respect and quickly ordered his soldiers to clear a path, allowing the academy teachers to lead the newly awakened spirit children inside.
Passing through the steel fence and entering the mountain forest, the Martial Soul Academy teachers didn't rush forward. Instead, they addressed the thirty-seven curious awakened youths, instructing them: "This mountain range is the area where the Martial Soul Hall has been raising soul beasts for ten years. For the next year, you will spend most of your time here, except for theoretical classes."
"The Ghost-Faced Boars here will actively attack humans."
"What you need to do today is complete Martial Soul Possession under this intense pressure. Martial Soul Possession means adding the power of your Martial Soul to your body, comprehensively increasing your physical attributes."
"Now you can freely form teams to fight the Ghost-Faced Boars. Before completing Martial Soul Possession, unless there is a life-threatening danger, the teachers will not intervene. Once you are ready, you can venture deeper on your own."
The teacher leading the group finished speaking.
The thirty-seven youths began to form teams.
Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan formed one team. Xu Yu, Zhang Ping, and three others formed another team. Clearly, they all had their own groups. After choosing their teams, they were all eager to venture deeper into the dense forest, with teachers following behind them.
Finally, Chen Changfeng was left alone as he walked into the forest.
Once inside, he discovered that besides the Ghost-Faced Pigs his teacher had mentioned, the surrounding plants were also spirit beasts. However, most of these plant spirit beasts were relatively gentle and wouldn't attack as long as one didn't get too close.
"Spirit Possession! Ha!"
Not far along, Chen Changfeng saw Yan, a member of the Golden Generation, complete Spirit Possession first.
Instantly,
a burst of fiery spirit power, thirty centimeters in diameter, blasted out, striking a man-eating flower that was attacking Hu Liena with its claws outstretched.
The giant man-eating flower instantly turned into half a withered blossom, and a white halo appeared.
Yan glanced at Chen Changfeng with a smug look, then fawned over Hu Liena, saying, "Nana, don't be afraid, I'll protect you."
So this was Spirit Possession.
Chen Changfeng glanced at it and murmured, "I wonder how my Spirit Possession will go."
Ignoring Yan's boasting, Chen Changfeng continued deeper into the forest.
"Hmph~~"
Suddenly, a commotion arose from the bushes, and a three-meter-tall ghost-faced boar darted out, charging straight at Chen Changfeng.
The ghost-faced boar was entirely black, with an ugly, ferocious face and a thin tail, giving it a savage appearance. It also possessed a pair of extremely sharp canines, making it truly terrifying.
Holy crap!
This giant is a ten-year-old soul beast?
That's way too much!
"Not good! This human-faced boar has mutated!"
His teacher's exclamation came from behind Chen Changfeng. At that moment, his martial soul , sensing
the dangerous pressure within him, reacted instantly.
A terrifying aura, seemingly from the primordial wilderness, burst forth, unleashing a terrifying pressure comparable to a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast. (End of Chapter)
