Douluo Continent: Naru Sacred Heart, Snow Shines Forever

Chapter 2: Martial Soul Awakening, The Heart of Naru

The next day, before the morning dew had dried, the valley was filled with various fragrances.

Six-year-old Chen Jieqi is slightly taller than other children his age.

Dugu Yan is 7 years older than Chen Jieqi. Thanks to the significant improvement in her martial spirit poison, she has become more lively and cheerful.

At this moment, a simple yet profound awakening array had already been set up in the room next to the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.

"Xiao Qi, are you ready?"

Dugu Bo said expectantly.

Compared to six years ago, Dugu Bo was still wearing a jade green robe, and his usually messy hair was now neatly styled, with a faint smile on his face.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that his hair and eye color were slightly lighter than before, and even the fishy, ​​sweet smell emanating from his body was not as strong.

"Ready, Grandpa."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Jieqi stepped into the hexagonal magic circle and waited quietly.

Dugu Bo smiled slightly, unlike the Martial Soul Prince who usually used Martial Soul Possession when awakening others.

With a simple wave of his hand, he channeled six powerful streams of soul energy into the six soul stones, and then said:

"Xiao Qi, relax and don't be nervous. Close your eyes, feel the power within your body, and let it be released following the guidance of my soul power."

Chen Jieqi did as instructed, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath.

He could clearly feel a gentle yet domineering soul force emanating from Dugu Bo's palm, slowly flowing into his body.

Following his meridians, it felt as if it was awakening some dormant power within his body.

"Concentrate and don't get distracted."

Dugu Bo's voice rang in my ears, carrying a hint of barely perceptible anticipation.

Over the past six years, he has watched Chen Jieqi grow up and knows that this child is different from others. He is also curious about what kind of martial spirit this little guy he picked up will possess.

Dugu Yan also held her breath, her eyes fixed on Chen Jieqi's right hand, her face full of anticipation.

The next moment, a layer of golden light rose from the six soul stones, forming a pale golden light shield that enveloped Chen Jieqi.

Extend your right hand!

The golden light intensified, and Chen Jieqi's first feeling upon being enveloped in it was warmth and comfort.

The meridians throughout the body also became active, and the "Holy Light Power" that was usually kept in check began to quietly condense.

As a continuous stream of golden light entered his body, he could clearly feel something inside him awakening and bursting forth.

Finally, the golden light spots within Chen Jieqi's body converged towards the top of his head.

Slowly, a crystal-like aggregate emerged, centered around a core surrounded by numerous crystalline structures, its overall shape resembling a tangram cross.

It emits a soft golden light, giving people a sense of holiness and purity.

This is the crystallized form of Holy Light energy—the Heart of the Naaru.

At the same time, a pale golden light shone in his right palm, and as the light condensed, a strange longsword appeared, unlike ordinary longswords whose blades were the same size.

The longsword has a broad and heavy blade. Near the tip, above and behind, is a large golden disc, the center of which seems to radiate a soft light and float within the blade.

The sword is engraved with mysterious runes and gradually tapers towards the hilt, which is red with gold decorations, giving it an antique metallic feel.

This is the Paladin's class weapon—Ashbringer.

With the appearance of the Heart of the Naaru, the surrounding air became peaceful, filled with a sacred feeling, and subtly showed a tendency to become a domain.

Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, who were standing to the side, felt a tingling sensation, and their bodies seemed to relax a bit.

"Is this a twin martial soul?"

"Little Qi, the golden light emanating from your martial spirit is the same as the feeling that was previously emanating from your body."

Now that it's condensed and crystallized, it looks really cool.

Dugu Yan asked in surprise.

"Xiao Qi, what kind of martial spirit do you have?"

During the investigation, Dugu Bo was not as surprised as Dugu Yan.

Since adopting Chen Jieqi, nothing that has happened to him has seemed strange.

In recent years, not only has Dugu Yan improved significantly, but even the backlash from Dugu Bo's own martial soul has been somewhat alleviated.

After exiting the formation, Chen Jieqi performed Martial Soul Possession.

The tangram-like crystal that had previously resembled a cross above his head now appeared between his brows, and the longsword in his palm flashed and materialized in his hand.

With her long silver hair, she exudes a sacred and dignified aura.

"Grandpa, Sister Yan Yan, my martial spirit is called the Heart of Naru!"

It is a pure elemental martial soul, belonging to the ultimate in holiness and light. It has a natural advantage against negative attributes such as darkness and poison.

The longsword in his hand is a companion martial soul, which cannot be equipped with a separate soul ring, but it will become stronger as the Holy Light of the Naru condenses. It is not a twin martial soul.

Chen Jieqi said with satisfaction.

Chen Jieqi was genuinely satisfied, putting aside the various hidden dangers brought about by twin martial souls.

Its only advantage is that it can absorb more spirit rings in the later stages, thereby accelerating cultivation and increasing spirit power level.

Essentially, it does not significantly enhance or fundamentally change an individual's combat strength.

Because regardless of whether you have a single or dual martial soul, under normal circumstances, your soul power should be roughly the same at the same level.

When the amount of soul power is similar, the release and duration of soul skills are also similar.

So having twin martial souls only adds the choice of soul skills; it doesn't make your soul power thicker.

Some people might say that in the later stages of twin martial souls, the second martial soul should be a high-limit soul ring, which brings much higher attribute and soul skill bonuses than the first martial soul.

Yes, that's a valid point!

However, it's important to note that a Soul Master cannot use two Martial Souls simultaneously, and they must also consider whether their physical strength can withstand the risk of their body exploding.

This means that the second spirit ring may not be fully absorbed, thus failing to unleash its maximum power.

Based on this, Chen Jieqi was truly satisfied with his martial soul, after all, it was an ultimate martial soul, and a dual-soul unity.

After all, flashy things are often not as impressive as doing something to the extreme.

"Quickly, quickly... Grandpa, quickly test Little Qi's innate soul power."

After understanding, Dugu Yan hurriedly said.

Dugu Bo, also beaming with pride, took out the Soul Power Crystal.

"Come on, let's test your soul power first!"

As a blue halo filled the entire crystal ball, the blue crystal ball emitted an extremely dazzling light, reflecting the surprised faces of the two.

"Innate full soul power!"

Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan spoke each word carefully.

"Hahahahaha..."

At this moment, Dugu Bo let out a hearty laugh and then said:

"In the past hundred years, only 19 people have been known to have full innate soul power. Now that there is another Xiaoqi, the mainland will definitely become more lively."

As far as I know, there isn't even a single one of the younger generation in the Spirit Hall who possesses innate full spirit power.

As long as Xiao Qi doesn't encounter any unexpected events along the way, reaching the pinnacle of Soul Masters is just around the corner.

"Congratulations, little Qi, you have innate full soul power!"

Sister Yan Yan will be relying on you to protect her from now on~

Dugu Yan chimed in from the side.

Dugu Yan is not the same as before. In the original work, she was only 19 years old and at level 38 when she first appeared.

In 13 years, his soul power only increased by 31 levels, averaging less than 2.4 levels per year. Whether it was due to the poison in his martial soul or other reasons,

This cultivation speed can only be considered that of an average genius.

But things are different now; Dugu Yan's martial soul poison problem has been significantly alleviated and controlled.

Her cultivation speed has also increased significantly. She is only 13 years old and has already reached level 27. So when she said that she asked Chen Jieqi to protect her, it was just a joke.

"Grandpa, Sister Yan Yan, please stop teasing me."

"If it weren't for Grandpa adopting me, I wouldn't be here today; I'd be in a spirit beast's belly long ago."

"Don't worry, Sister Yan Yan. From now on, no matter who bullies you, they'll have to step over my dead body first."

Chen Jieqi spoke solemnly, his youthful face beaming.

After spending several years together, Chen Jieqi had long regarded the two as family.

"Little Qi, you'd better do your best! I'm waiting for the day you protect me."

Dugu Yan said with a smile.

Chen Jieqi looked up at the relief and expectation in Dugu Bo's eyes, and then at Dugu Yan beside him who was beaming with joy. He felt a warmth in his heart.

He knew that from the moment his martial soul awakened, his path on the Douluo Continent had truly entered the right track, and he had the confidence to be independent.

After a few rounds of laughter and banter, Dugu Bo spoke:

"Xiao Qi, since you are born with full soul power, your first soul ring needs to be arranged as soon as possible. Do you have any thoughts or plans regarding this?"

"Grandpa, since I have two souls in one body, I won't lack attack methods in the early stages. I plan to focus on amplification for my first few soul rings."

This will not only maximize the enhancement of my Heart of the Naaru's Holy Light, but also amplify and strengthen my Ashbringer.

In this way, the effects of the spirit skills from the first few spirit rings will still be useful even in the later stages, preventing them from being wasted.

Once your soul power level increases, you can then supplement your attack or control methods based on your own situation. What do you think?
