Douluo Continent: The True Self of Martial Soul, Infinite Awakening

On the Sky-Touching Stone, the fierce wind relentlessly cuts through the hard rock.

As dawn broke, the eastern horizon tore through the curtain of night, revealing a vast expanse of pale white.

Huo Yuhao sat cross-legged on the far edge, facing the wind, his back ramrod straight.

He opened his eyes, his clear, bright eyes fixed on the horizon.

A faint purple glow emerged from the sea of ​​clouds at the moment the sun rose.

Huo Yuhao slowed his breathing, and the vast spiritual foundation bestowed by the million-year-old Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm was running wildly in his spiritual eyes.

The fleeting purple aura was completely drawn in, flowing into his spiritual sea in wisps and strands.

Having experienced the awakening of his martial spirit and the baptism of the Star Dou Great Forest, he knew that this once-a-day morning training had a miraculous effect on condensing his spiritual power.

On a flat bluestone less than ten steps away from Huo Yuhao, Ye Yuan also sat cross-legged.

As the rising sun leaped out of the sea of ​​clouds, generously pouring its golden rays onto the Sky-Touching Stone, Ye Yuan's level 15 soul power surged into operation.

The source of ultimate light awakens in the eight extraordinary meridians.

The blinding sunlight around him distorted strangely the moment it touched Ye Yuan's skin, then rushed into his body through his pores.

His body seemed to have become a bottomless pit, forcibly drawing the purest and most violent power of light from the rising sun into his meridians.

The light and flames flowed through his body, washing over his bones and flesh again and again.

That mere level 15 soul power, under the repeated compression and condensation of the ultimate light, had reached a terrifying density as viscous as mercury.

The two of them did not interfere with each other and tacitly carried out their daily morning lessons without fail.

About an hour later, the sun rose completely into the sky, and the temperature in the air began to rise.

Ye Yuan exhaled a breath of turbid air carrying a faint golden light and slowly opened his eyes.

In the void behind him, a faint, faceless phantom of his true self flashed by before disappearing back into his flesh and blood.

Huo Yuhao also finished his meditation. He stood up, stretched vigorously, and his joints made a few crisp cracking sounds.

"Brother Yuan, the absorption of the purple energy today was exceptionally smooth. I feel the edge of my spiritual sea has become even stronger." Huo Yuhao rubbed his stomach.

"Isn't it time for breakfast? Elder Qian said yesterday that he would send up bone broth from the century-old Ironclad Ox today."

At Ye Yuan's insistence, Huo Yuhao finally agreed to call him "Brother Yuan" to show his closeness when they were alone together.

The voice just fell.

"boom!"

A muffled sonic boom exploded above the Sky-Touching Stone.

The gale suddenly intensified, violently tearing a huge gap in the surrounding sea of ​​clouds.

The tall, imposing figure crashed heavily onto the bluestone ground like a meteorite, causing the entire Sky-Touching Stone to tremble slightly.

The newcomer was not wearing the signature dark green robe, but rather a casual, coarse cloth outfit.

Poison Immortal carried three huge, multi-tiered food boxes steadily without spilling a single drop of soup.

Huo Yuhao was about to go up and greet them when he abruptly stopped in his tracks.

Because behind the broad, tower-like body of Poison Undying, two girls who looked slightly older than them walked out.

Ye Yuan's gaze passed over Du Busi and landed discreetly on the two unfamiliar faces that had suddenly appeared.

The girl on the left looks to be about nine years old.

She wore a plain-colored cotton dress that was slightly faded from washing, with neat cuffs at the wrists and ankles, and her figure was slightly taller than girls her age.

Although dressed simply, she stood with a light and agile posture, her legs slightly bent and her center of gravity low, conveying a natural flexibility and alertness bestowed by her martial spirit.

The morning sunlight shone on her head, giving her soft, long golden hair a warm golden glow.

Her hair wasn't very long; it was just loosely braided into two plaits that hung down in front of her chest, with natural curls at the ends.

Her skin was naturally snow-white, with a healthy rosy glow, without any trace of the roughness of years spent living in poverty.

The girl noticed Ye Yuan's gaze and nervously clutched the faded hem of her clothes.

Those clear, almond-shaped eyes looked over, their pupils leaning towards a light gold, and their gaze held a lively, rabbit-like quality.

She had willow-leaf eyebrows, a delicate nose, and pale pink lips. Her round, oval face still retained a hint of baby fat.

Her eyes were clear, yet they held a maturity and understanding beyond her years.

The other girl standing on the right has a completely different temperament.

At the same age, she had an extremely eye-catching head of long silver hair.

Her long hair was carefully styled into an exquisite princess braid, with ribbons interspersed among the strands, and a small golden crown was neatly placed on top of her head.

The cool-toned silver hair reflected a cold sheen in the sunlight.

She wore a well-made, pale yellow dress made of high-quality fabric and with a perfect fit.

Her skin was a cool-toned white, and her features were more defined and striking than the girl on the left, exuding a refined elegance unique to royalty.

Those bright almond-shaped eyes had a light blue tint and a gentle gaze, yet they naturally possessed an air of superiority.

Faced with the harsh environment of howling winds on the Sky-Touching Stone, she did not shrink back. Instead, she straightened her back and stood elegantly, displaying the standard demeanor etched from court etiquette.

Guazi's face was expressionless, and he exuded a faint sense of aloofness.

Ye Yuan withdrew his gaze.

There was no need for Du Busi to introduce them; Ye Yuan already knew the identities of the two girls in his mind.

That blonde, flexible girl in a pale white dress must be Jiang Nannan.

Born into a commoner family, possessing the Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul, she is willing to give everything for her seriously ill mother.

As for the girl with silver hair and a golden crown, dignified demeanor, and royal air etched into her very bones, she was Princess Vina of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

Ye Yuan clicked his tongue inwardly in amazement.

Yesterday, in the main hall, he had just proposed to Du Busi the plan to go to the Douling Empire to find Jiang Nannan.

All told, less than twelve hours had passed in total.

This level 98 Super Douluo not only crossed half the continent to reach the territory of the Xuanming Sect and rescued Jiang Nannan and her entire family, but also made a detour along the way, stormed into the imperial city of the Heavenly Soul Empire, and forcibly took the reigning princess back to the main peak of the Body Sect.

Speed ​​is of the essence in war.

Looking at Du Busi's nonchalant old face, Ye Yuan knew that his sect leader's desire to break through to the Limit Douluo level had reached a fever pitch.

To gather enough anchor points of destiny, he wouldn't even blink an eye, even if it meant directly plucking the tiger's whiskers from the Heavenly Soul Empire's royal family.

Du Bu Si casually tossed the three heavy food boxes onto the flat bluestone slab.

"Don't eat yet." Poisonous Immortal dusted off his hands, his gaze sweeping over the four children before pointing at Ye Yuan and Huo Yuhao.

"From today onwards, these two girls will stay on the main peak and cultivate with you. Don't stand there like mutes, introduce yourselves and get to know each other."

The sound of the wind rustled through the group.

Neither Jiang Nannan nor Vina spoke rashly.

One of them was a commoner girl who was brought directly to this towering mountain, and her mother had just received a top-grade medicine from the sect to save her.

The other is Princess Tianjiao, who was sleeping on the royal bed in the middle of the night yesterday when this green-haired old man kidnapped her and her blanket.

At this moment, both of them still held great vigilance and awe towards the infamous Body Sect.

As a de facto host here, Ye Yuan naturally wouldn't let the atmosphere remain tense.

He stepped forward and stood in front of the two girls.

Although he was only six years old, he was only half a head shorter than Jiang Nannan and Vina, who were both nine years old. But the moment he opened his mouth, his calm and composed aura captivated the two girls.

"Ye Yuan".

He didn't engage in any flowery formalities; his voice was steady and clear.

"Young Master of the Body Sect, Martial Soul: True Self. Soul Power: Level 15."

These three simple short sentences are like a boulder thrown into a calm lake.

Jiang Nannan's light golden almond eyes widened instantly. He was the young sect master of the Body Sect?

Vina's reaction was even more direct.

For the first time, a look of astonishment appeared on her usually dignified and aloof oval face.

Level 15?

Vina's gaze was fixed on Ye Yuan.

The royal family's intelligence network was not just for show; she knew very well that the young sect master of the Body Sect had only awakened his martial soul six months ago.

In half a year, without relying on any unorthodox methods of initiation, he cultivated to level fifteen.

Even more terrifying is that, thanks to the keen perception of her brain spirit, Vina can clearly sense the energy density dormant within the boy in front of her.

That's not ordinary level 15 soul power at all.

The intense, suffocating pressure, which felt like it was purifying even the soul, caused her, a genius who had already reached level twenty, to feel a surge of blood and qi.

This six-year-old boy is a complete monster.

With Ye Yuan taking the lead, Huo Yuhao, who was standing next to him, quickly wiped the sweat from his palms.

He took a step forward and gave a somewhat shy smile.

Having endured countless scornful treatments at the White Tiger Duke's mansion, he always felt a natural awkwardness when facing girls of similar age.

"My name is Huo Yuhao." Huo Yuhao scratched the back of his head. "My martial soul is the Spirit Eye, and my soul power is level thirteen. I am... the young sect leader's little follower."

He emphasized the word "follower," his tone revealing not a trace of inferiority, but rather an absolute sense of pride and protectiveness.

Vina took a deep breath and quickly composed herself.

Her royal upbringing instilled in her a habit of never losing her composure.

She stepped forward, placed her hands clasped at her waist, and performed a perfectly standard aristocratic greeting.

"Vina, princess of the Heavenly Soul Empire." Vina raised her head, her light blue eyes looking directly at Ye Yuan.

"Twin Martial Souls: Brain and Snow Lotus. Soul Power: Level 19."

Finally, everyone's gaze fell on Jiang Nannan.

Stared at by three monstrous geniuses, Jiang Nannan swallowed hard.

She didn't have Vina's noble demeanor; she simply stood up straight with utmost seriousness, trying her best to keep her voice from trembling.

"My name is Jiang Nannan." She pursed her pale pink lips, and the timidity in her eyes was gradually replaced by stubbornness.

"Commoner background. Martial Soul: Soft Bone Rabbit. Soul Power: Level 19."

She hadn't forgotten how her mother's face had quickly regained its color the night before, when the green-haired old man placed a pill emitting a strong, exotic fragrance into her critically ill mother's mouth.

From that moment on, she was committed to the Body Sect.

Whether this place is a den of demons or a holy land, she will grit her teeth and persevere.

"Alright, you've laid everything out. From now on, we'll be fellow disciples sharing the same food."

Poison-Free had no patience for such childish self-introductions.

He stepped forward and lifted the lid of the food box. The rich aroma of meat mixed with the scent of precious medicinal herbs instantly filled the cliff.

It was filled with a rich broth made from the bones of a century-old ironclad ox, as well as various medicinal meat patties to replenish qi and blood.

"Eat! You need to be full to have the energy to cultivate." Poison Immortal pointed to the food box.

"Xiao Yuan, you take them to eat. After they finish eating, have Lao Qian send someone to arrange accommodations for these two girls. I still have a pot of medicinal bath to keep an eye on, I don't have time to waste with you."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Du Busi didn't even glance at the four children.

Its towering body suddenly rose from the ground, transforming into a green afterimage, and leaped directly into the bottomless abyss of the Touching Sky Stone, disappearing into the rolling sea of ​​clouds in the blink of an eye.

On the cliff, only four children of similar age and three steaming food boxes remained.

The mountain wind still howled in my ears.

Ye Yuan glanced down at the food box, then looked at Jiang Nannan and Vina, who were still standing there somewhat reserved.

He stepped forward, reached out and took a meat pie the size of a washbasin from the top, and tore it in half.

"The sect leader has a short temper, don't mind him." Ye Yuan handed half of the dish to Huo Yuhao, took the other half in his hand, took a bite, and swallowed it.

He turned his head and looked at Jiang Nannan and Vina.

"The Body Sect doesn't have that many rules. Eat as much as you can, absorb as much as you can," Ye Yuan said, sitting down on the ground and pointing to the remaining food.

"You can't buy this food anywhere else, no matter how much money you have. If you don't eat, you won't be able to withstand the training this afternoon."
