Divine Seal: Child of the Elements, starting with a contract with Gu Yuena.

That night, Gu Ao returned to the hotel as scheduled. Na'er had not yet fallen asleep and was waiting quietly in the room, looking out the window. The night was deep, and the moonlight shone into the room through the thin gauze.

"Guo, you're back!"

As soon as the door opened, Na'er immediately turned around and quickly walked towards it.

"Yes, Na'er, I'm back." Looking at the girl with eyes full of concern, Gu Ao suddenly felt like a wife waiting for her husband. He shook his head to dispel his distracting thoughts.

"We'll go awaken our innate spiritual power tomorrow."

What is awakening?

Na'er blinked her clear silver eyes, her eyelashes casting faint shadows under the light.

Gu Ao gazed at her, his eyes filled with an inscrutable expression, and slowly said, "This will determine her future fate!"

------

Silent all night.

The next morning, Gu Ao took Na'er away from the hotel and went to a hillside not far from the city.

The ensuing commotion will likely be significant, even greater than the initial surge of Na'er's power, so it's inconvenient to hold it at the hotel.

"Guo, are we here to do that awakening?" Na'er looked around, her eyes filled with novelty and curiosity.

"That's right."

Gu Ao nodded and first briefly explained to Na'er the importance of innate spiritual power.

If one's innate spiritual power is less than ten, then one will never be able to break through to the third rank, just like that master next door whose innate soul power is less than one level and who can never break through to the third ring.

The Holy Demon Continent doesn't have any miraculous herbs that can defy fate and change one's destiny.

"Huh? Does that mean my innate spiritual power is very low?"

"No, you definitely won't be low."

Gu Ao answered with a smile, taking out the Awakening Stone that Ouyang Cheng had given him before he left yesterday, as well as a bonus gem for testing innate spiritual power.

The uses of these two items are self-evident: the Awakening Stone is used to guide the awakening ritual, while the Innate Spiritual Power Testing Gem is used to determine the outcome of the awakening. The latter is more valuable.

As for whether Gu Ao can help others awaken?

Do you think the branch hall master and other fifth-tier professionals would awaken a martial soul for a group of children? The highest level they can awaken for children is fourth-tier, or even lower. In the neighboring continent, a second-ring Grand Soul Master awakened a martial soul for a six-year-old child.

Why do I keep thinking about Douluo Continent? Gu Ao looked at the girl, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

"Look, this is the innate inner..."

Gu Ao infused his spiritual power into the gem in his hand, intending to demonstrate it to Na'er, but unexpectedly, this attempt brought a pleasant surprise.

The innate spiritual power of the six elements is as high as ninety-eight? The innate spiritual power of the spatial element is even higher, reaching eighty-nine!?

This was both a surprise and an unexpected turn of events, completely beyond Gu Ao's expectations.

His innate spiritual power isn't that exaggerated, is it? His spatial elemental ability is only 81.

If others knew what Gu Ao was thinking, he would surely be envied by countless people.

Old Yu's innate spiritual power was only a little over seventy points, while Li Zhengzhi, who had the highest innate spiritual power in the Magic Temple, was only eighty, just over the threshold of the elemental protection physique.

However, even this temple master's value was slightly lower than the lowest value in Gu'ao.

As for the six elements corresponding to the Child of Elements, Master Yu once told Gu Ao that although they are of varying strengths, they are all above ninety, with an average of ninety-five.

Gu Ao's innate spiritual power was told to him by Master Yu, who obtained it from the magician who awakened Gu Ao in the Zeus branch temple. Since then, it has not been tested again.

Therefore, anything that happens after this point is likely due to an increase in innate spiritual power.

Could it be a statue of the Six Gods?

Guo's first suspect was naturally the statues that had caused quite a stir at the time. Guo still hasn't figured out what benefits they had given him.

He quickly dismissed this idea for a simple reason: the six elemental gods did not include the God of Space.

Could it be a spirit furnace of the same origin?

Long Haochen's innate spiritual power was also enhanced by the fusion of the light element spirit and the spirit furnace. He also underwent evolution during the fusion of the same source spirit furnace.

Well, it's not certain yet; it needs further investigation.

Finally, Gu'ao's gaze slowly shifted to Na'er, who looked completely bewildered beside him.

"Ancient?"

Because Gu'ao's gaze was so strange, looking at Na'er but not focusing on her, Na'er felt a little uncomfortable and finally couldn't help but speak up.

At Na'er's call, Gu'ao quickly came to his senses. He hadn't expected to discover a surprise himself before he could even test Na'er.

Seeing Na'er's pouting expression of dissatisfaction, Gu Ao couldn't help but sigh that all sorts of things had come up since he met Na'er.

"Don't worry, I'll help you awaken it."

Magicians, summoners, and priests are collectively known as the three magic systems, while knights, assassins, and warriors are collectively known as the three melee systems.

If the Silver Dragon King were standing before him, Gu Ao would be certain that the most suitable person for her would be a mage like him.

Unfortunately, she isn't, or at least not entirely.

Gu Yue inherited the power of the elements, and Na'er inherited the Silver Dragon Spear, respectively possessing 70% and 30% of the Silver Dragon King's power. Only when they are combined can they become the true Silver Dragon King.

But this is not Douluo Continent. Even if it is, this Na'er cannot be completely equivalent to that Na'er. Even if a martial soul awakens, the Silver Dragon Spear may not appear.

Therefore, Gu Ao was even less certain about the awakening of his innate inner spiritual power.

"Na'er, there will be some pain during the awakening process, you must endure it."

Awakening innate inner spiritual power has requirements, such as a certain number of points in external spiritual power or a certain age. The former is a requirement for the three magic systems, and the latter is a requirement for the three melee systems, which respectively impose limitations on physical endurance and mental strength.

Gu Ao awakened his innate spiritual power two years ahead of schedule because his mental strength was extraordinary.

If it weren't for this serendipitous opportunity, he wouldn't have met Old Yu, let alone come to the Magic Temple.

Na'er's face was full of tension, and she was ready. Gu Ao concentrated and used a spell he had been preparing for a long time.

A halo appeared beneath his feet, and in the next instant, it rapidly expanded outwards from him, covering a radius of ten meters. Wherever the halo reached, the elements in the air immediately became active.

This is a sixth-tier spell—Elemental Prayer Aura.

Na'er watched this magical scene with curiosity. Her elemental power was completely confined within the halo, a hemisphere with a radius of ten meters. The world in her eyes instantly became colorful and dazzling.

Gu Ao channeled his spiritual power into the Awakening Stone in his palm. The Awakening Stone gradually melted, transforming into a droplet displaying seven colors. Guided by Gu Ao's spiritual power, it fell precisely into Na'er's fair and smooth brow.

A seven-colored beam of light, the same color as the droplet, suddenly shot into the sky with Na'er's body at its core. In the next breath, it transformed into a dazzling silver, shot into the boundary of the light sphere, and after a reflection, shone precisely into the innate inner spiritual power testing gem next to it.
