Douluo Continent: I am the true master

Chapter 88 Second Awakening

The basement was spacious and didn't feel cramped at all. However, the three siblings looked at each other, wondering why Ye Wen had summoned them there.

Ye Wen arrived late, looking at the three people who were already standing in the basement.

As the first senior sister and second disciple of the Huo family, Ye Wen's trust in the Huo siblings was the highest in the entire academy. Although Dao Ba joined later, his pure heart was also recognized by Ye Wen. Even so, Ye Wen's expression was still very serious.

"The reason I summoned you here today is not for anything else, but for something that concerns the future of your cultivation."

Follow me.

Ye Wen then walked deeper into the secret room, touching a hidden compartment in the wall, and a deeper secret passage appeared before him.

What came into view was a basement of no more than 100 square meters, where Ah Yin had been waiting for a long time.

The hidden door closed.

This is directly below the three ancient Blue Silver Kings, and their roots are densely packed on top.

Huo Rui, as the senior sister, had the most authority to speak, and asked.

"Master, why did you call us here?"

"Don't rush, let me explain to you one by one," Ye Wen said calmly.

After everyone was seated on their prayer cushions, Ye Wen looked earnestly at Huo Rui and her brother and said...

"Among all my disciples, you and your brother were the first to become my disciples, and I am also the one who has studied your martial soul the most. Based on my research over the years, your original martial soul carries a special characteristic that other martial souls do not have."

Huo Rui realized that the knowledge Ye Wen was talking about was extremely important, so she listened attentively. As for Huo Quan, he was still half-dead from a month of continuous training.

"That is, the original spirit is more likely to undergo a second awakening than any other spirit."

"Master, what is a second awakening?!" Huo Quan asked curiously.

"The so-called second awakening of a martial soul is the evolution of a martial soul based on the first awakening. This phenomenon is collectively referred to as second awakening."

Huo Rui was somewhat puzzled at this moment. As the person who had been cultivating with Ye Wen for the longest time, she was well aware of many of the theories proposed by Ye Wen, and asked a question.

"Master, according to your 'Theory of Origin,' all Soul Masters may trigger a second awakening after acquiring a Soul Ring through a specific method. Why do you say that our original Martial Soul is more likely to undergo a second awakening?"

Ye Wen was very satisfied to see that his eldest disciple had so astutely discovered the problem.

"That's why I say it's collectively referred to as secondary awakening, rather than all secondary awakenings, because there are many different types of secondary awakenings."

The second awakening of the main body martial soul is different from the second awakening of ordinary martial souls. There will be obvious differences. After the second awakening, a light and shadow corresponding to the awakening level will appear behind the character. From low to high, they are divided into three colors: black iron, bronze, and silver.

According to records, Black Iron-level awakening can increase one's strength by 30%, Bronze-level awakening by 60%, and Silver-level awakening by 100%.

As for whether there are other colors, I haven't discovered them yet because there are so few records of the original martial soul.

However, among the numerous records, I also discovered clues about the method of secondary awakening, which is precisely why I summoned you here today. I want you to initiate the second awakening of your martial souls and truly unlock their potential.

The two siblings looked at each other in disbelief. They never expected their master to make such an amazing discovery. If this discovery were published on the mainland, it would definitely cause a sensation.

However, the two siblings felt a warmth in their hearts. Besides their mother's concern for them, only their older brother and master, Ye Wen, who was not much older than them, wholeheartedly helped them plan for the future.

"Then I'll trouble Master to help my brother and me awaken our second awakening," Huo Rui said earnestly.

Ye Wen looked at the siblings with equal seriousness and said.

"Be mentally prepared. The reason why a second awakening is rare is not only because of the method, but also because of the risks involved."

"Master, we have no regrets," the Huo siblings replied earnestly.

The weak are bullied, so those who become Soul Masters and have the potential must be greedy and climb step by step to the highest and strongest position. This is Ye Wen's teaching to them not to be too kind.

"Um? Master, I'm not a true martial soul, so why did you call me here?" Dao Ba asked, bewildered.

"You naturally have other plans. You two go to the next secret room with Ah Yin. I have already taught Ah Yin the method for the second awakening. I will absolutely not let your lives be in danger," Ye Wen said seriously.

The two siblings thought their second awakening was about to begin, but they never expected there to be another secret room.

He couldn't help but think to himself, just how cautious his master was, with each secret room nested inside the next like a matryoshka doll.

Soon, the two siblings were led to a deeper, more secret chamber, which was an underground pool with clean and clear water.

"Who wants to go first?" Ah Yin asked.

As the older sister and senior sister, Huo Rui bravely took the lead and said, "I'll do it," and then Ah Yin pushed her into the pool.

Huo Quan, standing to the side, was dumbfounded by her clean, efficient, and decisive manner.

"Your master said that for the main body martial soul to awaken a second time, one must have a strong obsession between life and death to activate the second awakening of the main body martial soul."

"But, but, my sister was pushed in before she even heard an explanation!" Huo Quan exclaimed in surprise.

Ah Yin remained calm.

"This will be more effective. Under various negative emotions, such life-and-death trials should be able to better stimulate her original martial soul's second awakening."

Huo Quan thought about it and realized it made sense, but he quickly realized something was wrong. Why did he tell me then?

So, what I'm about to do is undergo a second awakening of my martial soul while knowing it's a matter of life and death. This is actually more difficult than what Huo Rui is going through now, because even though she knows the correct answer, she still has a sense of complacency.

Thinking about it this way, Huo Quan felt terrible.

Dao Ba, still inside the secret chamber at the tree roots, was listening to Ye Wen's explanation.

"Ah Ba, your martial soul's innate mutation failed, but fortunately it wasn't a complete failure. It retained that strong fighting spirit and sharpness, making it much stronger than ordinary high-level weapon martial souls. However, this strength is limited."

To improve this situation, you must allow your martial spirit to undergo a second awakening, reaching its full potential.

Dao Ba scratched his head. He knew his own situation best. Of course he knew what his martial soul was like, but a second awakening was not so simple. Otherwise, even after Ye Wen published "The Theory of Origin," no ordinary soul master had been able to advance their martial soul to the next level for so long.

"I wish I could, Master, but I haven't obtained my fourth spirit ring yet. How can I allow my martial spirit to evolve a second time? Also, please call me Dao Ba. I don't need to use the name A Ba anymore."

Ye Wen knew immediately that he had misunderstood, thinking it was still the same theory as in "The Theory of Origin".
