Chapter 2: Soul Awakening
Dugu Chen's home is at the northernmost part of Majia Village. It is a 200-square-meter single-family courtyard. The north side is adjacent to the small hill where he exercises every day. In addition, it is now morning time, so no one noticed that Dugu Chen brought an injured stranger in.
He moved the green-haired old man to the small house where he lived. There are three bedrooms in the house, one for his parents, one for himself, and a guest room. Since his parents passed away, his parents' room has been locked up, and the guest room has become a storage room. Only his own room is clean.
He changed the old man's tattered clothes, took out the few golden wound medicines, and applied them to his golden thigh. While applying the medicine, he muttered in his heart:
"You'd better be Dugu Bo, otherwise I will lose a lot. I saved your life and even used the relics left by my parents for you. I don't want you to work like a slave. Give me ten or eight fairy herbs in your vegetable garden. If you don't say anything, I will take it as your consent."
Looking at the golden thigh after changing clothes and applying medicine, the painful expression eased and he breathed a sigh of relief. He should have survived. If it was really Dugu Bo, he should be fine with the vitality of the Titled Douluo.
"Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen, are you at home?"
At this time, a call came from outside the door. It was the voice of the old village chief. The old village chief was called Ma Jun. He was the strongest and oldest person in the village. The children in the village called him Grandpa Ma.
"I'm here, Grandpa Ma"
Dugu Chen quickly grabbed the tattered clothes together and turned to open the door for the old village chief.
Dugu Chen casually threw the tattered clothes in his hand into the water boiler, and came to the yard to open the door.
This was an old man who looked to be in his seventies, with a thin and tall figure, but vigorous, neatly dressed, and his long hair was meticulously cut. The old village chief was only in his fifties, but he looked about the same as the golden thigh in the house.
This was the benefit of a high level of cultivation. Even the Titled Douluo was like this, not to mention the gods in the God Realm. At this moment, Dugu Chen's determination to pursue strength was reaffirmed.
"Grandpa Ma, why are you here?"
Dugu Chen quickly stepped forward to support the old village chief.
"Haha, Xiaochen, tomorrow is the day of martial soul awakening, and grandpa came to see how you are preparing."
The old village chief smiled happily. Dugu Chen was the child with the highest chance of awakening soul power in the village. He reached out and touched Dugu Chen's head.
Hearing this, Dugu Chen felt a warm current in his heart. Since his parents passed away, the village chief grandfather has taken good care of him. Although it is because he has a greater chance of awakening his soul power, it does not prevent the old village chief from caring about him.
After his parents passed away, he could only feel this feeling of being remembered by the old village chief.
"Grandpa village chief, don't worry, I will definitely awaken my soul power."
Dugu Chen said with determination in his eyes.
The old village chief looked at Dugu Chen with a face full of satisfaction.
As night fell, Dugu Chen lay alone in the yard, looking at the moon in the sky, stretching out his hand, as if to grab the moon in his hand, "Tomorrow is the awakening of martial souls. I will hold the sun and the moon in my hands and pick the stars. There is no one like me in the world. I will try my best to do it."
He added a BUFF to himself, got up and went back to the house. Seeing that the golden thigh was still awake, he turned around and went to the utility room to make do for the night.
It was just dawn, and there were already hundreds of people gathered in front of the wooden house in the center of the village square, and as time went by, more and more people came.
The dense voices of words came one after another, it was so lively.
There were not many children awakening today, only nine in total.
Outside Majia Village, a rather exquisite carriage arrived, with two people sitting in it, a driver and a calm and handsome young man, who was only about 25 years old, wearing a gorgeous white suit, with a trace of fatigue on his face.
Li Yunhai supported his forehead with one hand and said to himself:
"It is still too difficult for a small village to awaken a martial spirit with soul power. I hope the next village can give me a surprise."
When Dugu Chen came to the square, he happened to see the old village chief and two other soul masters in the village leading a man in gorgeous clothes to the center of the square.
He was wearing a white suit, with a fist-sized soul character in the center of his chest. This is the standard dress of the direct staff of the Spirit Hall.
On the left chest, there is a badge engraved with a long sword, with a total of three long swords interlaced on the badge. People who are familiar with soul masters know that the number of three represents the third-level title of soul masters, the Great Soul Master, and the long sword represents that this deacon from the Spirit Hall is a combat soul master.
The village chief said, "Okay. Children, this is the combat soul master from the Spirit Hall. Next, he will lead you to open your own spirits. You must cooperate with the master to awaken your spirits. Grandpa is looking forward to one of you becoming a soul master."
The young man's eyes fell on the nine children in front of him. As a patrol deacon of the Spirit Hall, helping ordinary people awaken their spirits is his job and he has long been accustomed to it. "Children, stand in a row." He said gently to the children.
The nine children stood in front of the young man, and Dugu Chen stood in the middle. Compared with children of the same age, his figure was obviously stronger.
The young man smiled and said, "My name is Li Yunhai, a level 29 Great Spirit Master, and I am your guide. Now, I will help you awaken your spirits one by one. Remember, don't be afraid no matter what happens."
As he spoke, Li Yunhai opened his package on the table beside him and took out two things from it, six black round stones and a shining blue crystal ball.
Li Yunhai placed the six black stones in a hexagon on the ground, and then motioned the first child on the right to stand in it.
"Don't be afraid, close your eyes and feel it carefully."
As he spoke, Li Yunhai's eyes suddenly lit up, and in the curious eyes of the children, he whispered, "Fire Leopard, possessed."
A faint red light first released from the center of his brow, and then went up along the position of his brow and entered his hair.
Li Yunhai's hair was originally black, but when the red light was injected, it instantly turned red and quickly grew longer. The same color hair appeared on his exposed hands. At the same time, his body seemed to be much larger than before, and there were flames all over his body. His whole body was full of muscles.
The special clothing of the Spirit Hall was very elastic and did not burst because of his larger body. Li Yunhai's eyes had turned red, and the claws on his ten fingers flashed a faint cold light.
Two circles of yellow halos lit up from under his feet, constantly wandering from his feet to the top of his head, which was extremely strange.
The boy he called the black stone was not surprised by Li Yunhai's changes, but was full of expectation to see what his spirit was.
Li Yunhai clapped his hands quickly, and six faint red lights were injected into the six black stones on the ground. Suddenly, a layer of golden light was released from the six stones, forming a light golden light shield, covering the child.
One by one, golden light spots floated out from the black stones on the ground and entered the boy's body. The boy's body began to tremble slightly.
"Stretch out your right hand." Li Yunhai stared at the boy and ordered majestically.
The boy subconsciously stretched out his right hand, and suddenly, all the light spots rushed out, and in an instant, a wildebeest appeared in his palm.
It seemed that the wildebeest was not an illusion of light and shadow, but a real existence.
Li Yunhai glanced and said,
"It is the wildebeest, the ancestral martial spirit of your village. Come and use your mind to take back the martial spirit. If you have soul power, you can become a soul master."
The boy put his hand on the crystal ball in front of him. After a moment, the crystal ball did not respond.
Li Yunhai said disappointedly: "Without soul power, you can't become a soul master, go away." After that, he ignored it and continued the awakening work.
The same scene continued to play out. Five more children's martial souls awakened one after another. Their martial souls were all beast martial souls such as wildebeests and antelopes. Not even a weapon martial soul appeared. As for the soul power, they were all judged as "none" by Li Yunhai.
Until Dugu Chen stood in the middle of the awakening stone, looking at the boy in front of him, Li Yunhai's eyes lit up obviously. Dugu Chen, who was stronger than the children around him, had a good chance of awakening soul power.
As the light golden light lit up, Dugu Chen felt wrapped in a warm world. Then, more light was drawn over. Li Yunhai, who was outside, was also startled and accelerated the output of soul power. He felt that something in his body was broken and rushed to his right hand.
Li Yunhai's eyes became brighter and brighter. With a "roar" sound, the sound revealed a heavy and explosive feeling.
The old man who was recovering from his injuries in the wooden house suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes revealed sharpness and vigilance, he straightened his upper body and looked at the changed clothes and the simple house, wondering: "Where is this? Just now, it was suppressed by the martial soul, how is this possible."
Dugu Chen raised his right hand, and the martial soul in his hand also revealed its appearance. It was seen that its head was like a dragon, its shape was like a horse, its shape was like a deer, its tail was like a cow's tail, there were red fur patterns on its back, yellow fur on its abdomen, its limbs and hooves were like dragon claws, and there was a layer of dragon scales on its body. As soon as it appeared, Li Yunhai felt the trembling of the martial soul.
Dugu Chen looked at the martial soul in his hand and was surprised to think that this was a Qilin, and then there was a burst of excitement. He took back the martial soul with a thought, and no one noticed that a faint light floated from the sky and was taken into the body along with the Qilin.
This was when Li Yunhai woke up from a dream and shouted: "Quick, test the soul power, the top mutant beast martial soul!"
Looking at the crystal ball in front of him, Dugu Chen put his hand on it, and in the blink of an eye, the crystal ball was shining like a dazzling gem. A faint blue halo was exposed, indescribably moving.
"You are born with full soul power, so join the Spirit Hall." Li Yunhai grabbed Dugu Chen's shoulder and said excitedly,
"Uncle, there are still people who haven't awakened their soul power."
Dugu Chen looked at Li Yunhai who was almost going crazy in front of him, and took two steps back without leaving a trace. He didn't care that he was so excited. After all, the top beast spirit, full soul power, and a guaranteed title seed, being pulled into the Spirit Hall is an achievement, and getting promoted and getting a raise, and marrying a rich and beautiful woman is no longer a dream.
"Oh, yes, yes, I was reckless, kid, your spirit has mutated, I can't recognize what spirit it is, what is it called." Li Yunhai asked after calming down.
"Qilin, it's called Qilin." Dugu Chen replied with a serious face.
