Douluo: The Unrivaled Demon Lord

Chapter 2: Jiaozi and Spatial Attributes

The elegant woody scent lingers at the tip of the nose.

This is the unique fragrance of the Tranquil Soul Wood, which can calm the mind and clear away distractions. The main structure of this hall, as well as most of the wooden furnishings, are constructed from Tranquil Soul Wood. During its initial design, skilled craftsmen treated it with special techniques. Even now, a thousand years later, this wood fragrance has not only not dissipated, but has become even more intense over time.

Today is Shu Yan's sixth birthday. In Douluo Continent, six years old is the moment that determines the fate of most people. Being able to awaken a martial soul with soul power is a luxury that countless people dream of. Of course, Shu Yan does not feel worried about this.

He is the only son in the family and has enjoyed the best resources since he was a child. Countless natural treasures and body-building pills tailor-made for him have enabled him to possess physical fitness comparable to that of an ordinary great soul master before he awakened his martial soul. In addition, both his parents are geniuses, so the probability of him temporarily mutating into a waste is almost zero.

The three kingdoms of the original continent were not as advanced as the Sun-Moon Empire with its highly developed soul guide technology. Most of the martial souls were awakened using the traditional method, which was a special magic circle composed of awakening stones. The soul master manipulated it to inject soul power, stimulating the awakener's dormant martial soul to awaken, thereby achieving the effect of awakening the martial soul.

Under the control of a gentle soul power, the six awakening stones quickly formed a hexagram-like magic circle around Shu Yan. Shu Junyou, who was sitting in the first seat, slowly stood up. Eight soul rings, two yellow, one purple, and five black, slowly rose under his feet. However, because he deliberately controlled his breath, Shu Yan only felt that the surrounding environment seemed to have become a little dull, and he did not feel much discomfort.

"Hold your breath, concentrate, and sense with your heart."

Shu Junyou's voice was still so gentle. Shu Yan did not reply, but his body was shrouded in a faint golden light. The next moment, a power that seemed to have been dormant for a long time suddenly gushed out from his dantian, and instantly flowed through his limbs and bones, and finally turned into a circle of black halo and spread out in all directions.

Shu Yan's body grew taller at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his exposed skin was covered with black scales. His entire aura became empty and distorted in an instant, as if he would disappear into the darkness in the next moment.

The golden light slowly dissipated, replaced by a thick dark atmosphere.

Shu Yan, who felt the possession of the martial spirit for the first time, looked at his hands that had turned into black claws, and felt quite novel and excited for a moment.

The black fog slowly dissipated, and Shu Junyou had a clear smile on his face. Although Yu Bingyan on the side also had a smile on her face, it was with a hint of undisguised regret.

"Jiao Zi..."

"Our family inherited the most powerful martial spirit, A Yan, you are very lucky..."

Under Shu Junyou's guidance, Shu Yan used his mind to retract his martial soul. The changes in his body caused by the martial soul's possession gradually disappeared, and then returned to its original appearance.

Yu Bingyan took out a crystal ball for testing soul power from the soul guide, and then came in front of Shu Yan.

"Inject soul power into it and let's see your innate soul power. However, judging by the power you just displayed, it's probably full innate soul power."

Following Yu Bingyan's instructions, Shu Yan injected his soul power into the crystal ball. The light on the ball gradually lit up, and finally covered the entire sphere.

Seeing this, the couple smiled even more. Yu Bingyan touched Shu Yan's head, with a rare gentle look on her face, and said softly:

"Although the brat didn't inherit my angel spirit, Jiaozi is even more powerful than an angel. It's a pity that I have to drag your father to have another child, otherwise the inheritance of the angel lineage might really be lost in our time."

Shu Junyou's mouth twitched as he looked at his wife helplessly. It was fine to say this in private, but to say it in front of the child...

Well, it’s not the first or second time anyway…

Shu Yan also smiled helplessly, and then said:
"Mom, what you said is true. Didn't my aunt and cousin also inherit the Angel Martial Spirit? As long as the bloodline continues, the Angel Martial Spirit will appear again sooner or later."

"Or, there should be other angel spirit inheritances on the continent, but they are rarely seen." Yu Bingyan snorted lightly, slapped Shu Yan on the head, and then said to herself:

"I don't care. Your father and I are still young. Wouldn't it be nice to give you a brother or sister? No, forget about sons. I've gotten so old from you in the past few years. Let's have a daughter. Look at how well-behaved and cute Mengdi is. She's way better than you..."

Two black lines hung down from Shu Yan's forehead.

Is Yu Mengdi considered a good boy? If he was a good boy, would he have broken the legs of three male classmates in the first week of school? If he was a good boy, would he have suddenly drawn his sword and almost cut off the teacher's hand?
I can only say that my mother and this cousin who looks like a Tyrannosaurus are really "birds of a feather flock together". If you don't know, you would think they are real mother and daughter.

Shu Junyou watched the mother and son bickering quietly from the side until Yu Bingyan paused, then he spoke:
"Ayan, our family's method of cultivating the Jiaozi spirit has been perfected through the exploration and improvement of countless ancestors. I will give you all the relevant information later. You can find the path that suits you. Your mother and I will not interfere too much in this matter."

"Ya Zi is undoubtedly a True Dragon Martial Spirit, and the attribute it controls is darkness. Darkness is much stronger than basic attributes like wind, fire, earth, and water. However, when your Martial Spirit possessed me earlier, your body appeared to be in an illusory state. I'm a little curious about this..."

Yu Bingyan also looked over, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

The dark attribute of the Jiaozi martial soul is extremely powerful, and is infinitely close to the ultimate darkness. However, although the Jiaozi martial soul bloodline inherited by humans is pure, it is not complete, which is why its attribute cannot truly reach the point of ultimate darkness.

Yu Bingyan was so absorbed in expressing her feelings and bickering that she almost forgot about the strangeness that occurred on Shu Yan's body when his martial spirit possessed her. Now that Shu Junyou mentioned it, she suddenly remembered it.

The distracted look on Shu Yan's face disappeared a little. He lowered his eyes slightly and carefully sensed the martial spirit in his body.

Then, he suddenly stretched out a hand and pinched it violently in the air. Although there was nothing in his palm, it was visible to the naked eye, but there were some twisted and broken lines.

Of course, this line was not very obvious, and it only appeared for a moment before quickly disappearing, but the couple were both shocked and thought of something at the same time.

"The power of space! I've seen a senior use this ability before. It's definitely the power of space."

The calmness deep in Shu Junyou's expression was broken, and he spoke in a somewhat surprised voice.

A hint of astonishment also appeared on Yu Bingyan's face, but it was quickly covered up by surprise.

The spatial attribute has always been the most powerful and strange of all attributes. It rarely appears in human martial souls or even soul beasts. But once it appears, it indicates that no matter what race its owner is, as long as he does not die young, he will definitely not be mediocre in the end.

And if one's own martial soul does not have spatial attributes, it will be even more difficult to control the power of space.

For humans of this era, one often has to become a Super Douluo before they can begin to have initial contact with the power of space. If they want to control the power of space for their own use, they have to condense the second soul core and become an Extreme Douluo.

The difficulty of condensing the second soul core is like climbing to heaven. Even if the isotopic resonance method, which is currently the most suitable method for human strongmen, is used, the chance of success is pitifully small. It not only requires the right time, place and people, but also requires that unfathomable luck to be added to one's body before success can be achieved.

What's more, the Extreme Douluo achieved through the method of isotopic resonance often does not have a strong control over the power of space.

If one wants to easily and perfectly control the power of space, then one must use the Yin-Yang complementary method, which is far more difficult than isotopic resonance, to condense the Yin-Yang complementary second soul core. This is the direct way to perfectly control the power of space. Unfortunately, except for the legendary Beast God Di Tian, ​​the possibility of humans being able to condense the second soul core using the Yin-Yang complementary method is almost zero.
