Chapter 2 Innate Full Soul Power, Martial Soul Sky-Supporting Spear.
"Why!"
Zhou Yan sighed. He knew that Kong Xuan was mature beyond his years, which was why he was telling him these things.
But precisely because Zhou Yan knew that he couldn't treat Kong Xuan like a six-year-old child, he understood that whatever he said probably wouldn't change Kong Xuan's decision.
Zhou Yan said helplessly, "It seems you've already made up your mind?"
Kong Xuan nodded seriously. Now that he had transmigrated, he naturally didn't want to stay in a small village for the rest of his life.
"Why!"
Zhou Yan sighed again, then got up and walked to the cabinet behind him.
When he returned, he was carrying a cloth bag full of patches.
"I've saved up some money over the years, enough for the two of you to awaken your martial souls."
Kong Xuan refused, saying, "Grandpa Village Chief, we already have the money to awaken our martial spirits."
Zhou Yan was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "It seems that your little friend helped you."
Village Chief Zhou Yan naturally knew that Kong Xuan and Qian Gu Fu Liu knew each other.
Although the Qian Gu clan lived in seclusion, they still needed someone to go out and buy things on a daily basis.
Moreover, Tiangu Village and Yanshan Village are not far apart. Zhou Yan has lived here for decades, so he naturally knows some secrets.
"Alright, since you're all ready, then go to town with Lin Yan from the east end of the village tomorrow."
Kong Xuan's serious little face finally broke into a smile: "Thank you, Grandpa Village Chief."
Zhou Yan shook his head helplessly: "I hope you won't regret it later. Also, don't forget to get up early tomorrow morning."
Kong Xuan nodded seriously: "Don't worry, Grandpa Village Chief, I won't oversleep."
After finishing her noodles, Kong Ling was led back to her home by Kong Xuan, just like always.
However, on the way, Kong Ling kept her head down, thinking about what had just happened.
After returning home, Kong Ling sat on the bed and asked, "Brother, after awakening our martial souls, can we become soul masters?"
Seeing his sister's curious gaze, Kong Xuan shook his head and said, "Not necessarily, it depends on whether we can awaken our soul power."
Compared to the original Douluo Three Kingdoms, the Sun Moon Empire is dominated by Soul Masters.
Therefore, even if the awakened martial soul is not very good, as long as there is soul power, one can become a soul master.
Before his martial soul awakened, Kong Xuan didn't know what kind of martial soul he could awaken.
In the Douluo Continent, strength is paramount, but to become strong, a powerful martial soul is a must.
Even the Sun Moon Empire, which doesn't emphasize martial spirits, is like this, because only a powerful martial spirit can bring excellent innate soul power.
Without a powerful martial soul, even if you become a soul master or soul mentor, you're nothing more than cannon fodder.
The inheritance of martial souls is basically from parents, which has created countless soul master families where the strong get stronger and the weak get weaker.
Therefore, the world of Douluo Continent is actually a replica of Brahmanism, where the vast majority of people are already defined by their social class at birth.
As a transmigrator, Kong Xuan naturally refused to accept his fate, so he wanted to awaken his martial spirit and defy destiny.
For him now, being an orphan is perhaps his biggest advantage, at least his biological parents might be Soul Masters or Soul Mentors.
If I knew now that my parents both had useless martial souls, that would be truly despairing.
Seeing her brother's increasingly grave expression, Kong Ling reached out her small hand and brushed away Kong Xuan's furrowed brows.
"Brother, I believe we will definitely be able to awaken our soul power."
A smile appeared on Kong Xuan's face as he nodded and said, "Yes, we will definitely be able to awaken our soul power."
...
Lin Yan was a man in his thirties, tall, with a fierce face and a long beard.
But Kong Xuan knew that Lin Yan was actually a very kind uncle and a very good person.
He owned an oxcart and often used it to transport wild vegetables and medicinal herbs from the mountains to the city to sell.
The next day, Kong Xuan and Kong Ling got up early and had breakfast at the village chief's house before being taken to the east end of the village.
Zhou Yan made a special trip to greet Lin Yan last night, and when they arrived, Lin Yan was already waiting there.
After carrying the two little ones into the car, Zhou Yan instructed, "Lin Yan, these two are in your care."
Lin Yan, who was usually a man of few words, nodded and said, "Don't worry, village chief, I guarantee I'll bring them back safely."
The oxcart was not moving fast. According to Lin Yan, it would probably take three hours to reach the nearest city, Shiquan.
Throughout the journey, Kong Ling's eyes were filled with curiosity.
It was his first time traveling far from home and entering the city, and everything around him was new and exciting.
Kong Xuan was alright; after all, he had seen everything in his previous life, so these mountains and rivers were nothing to worry about.
From the time when it was still barely dawn, the sun is now hanging high in the sky.
I don't know exactly how much time has passed, but a city has come into view.
Shiquan City was just a small city on the border of the Sun Moon Empire, and its city walls were not very tall.
There were only two soldiers guarding the city gate, and they both looked lazy and not serious at all.
After entering the city, Kong Xuan discovered that many of the buildings were in the Gothic style.
These buildings are not tall, and the advanced soul-guided technology of the Sun Moon Empire is not much reflected in this small town.
Lin Yan first went to his usual shop and sold all the goods in the truck before taking Kong Xuan and Kong Ling to the Shiquan Junior Soul Master Academy.
There are limited places in Shiquan City where one can awaken their Martial Soul, and the Shiquan Junior Soul Master Academy is the choice of the vast majority of people.
Despite their simple clothing, they were clearly from the countryside.
However, at the academy gate, they did not suffer the same treatment as Tang Shenwang had. No gatekeepers gave them a hard time, and there were no mindless, pretentious, face-slapping scenes.
After Kong Xuan took out twenty gold soul coins from his pocket, someone took the two of them to have their martial souls awakened.
Kong Xuan pulled Kong Ling along, following the guide through the academy, until they arrived at a secluded room in the southwest corner of the academy.
Tang Yilin is a teacher at the Shiquan City Junior Soul Master Academy, and she also works part-time as an Awakening Master in her spare time, as she can earn some extra money.
Although the amount earned from each awakening is small, the cumulative income can be quite substantial.
Standing at the door of the awakening room, Tang Yilin looked at the two porcelain doll-like twins in front of her and was immediately overcome with maternal instincts.
"Little brother, little sister, who wants to go first?"
"I'll go first!"
Kong Xuan released her sister's hand, gave her a reassuring smile, and then stepped into the awakening room.
He looked around. The awakening room was not large, and the walls were all silver-white, seemingly made of metal.
"The little brother can stand in the middle."
Tang Yilin's voice came out, and Kong Xuan obediently walked to the middle of the room.
He was still very curious about the Sun Moon Empire's method of awakening martial spirits, since it seemed that today's awakening would not use six awakening stones.
In an instant, Kong Xuan felt a bright light appear before his eyes, and strange patterns lit up on the silver-white wall in front of him.
In fact, not only in front of Kong Xuan, but all the walls of the room had patterns appearing; these were soul-guiding arrays imprinted on them.
As Tang Yilin infused him with soul power, Kong Xuan felt a warm sensation all over his body.
Immediately afterwards, he felt this warm energy surging wildly within his body, eventually flowing to his left hand, as if something was about to burst out of his body.
Kong Xuan involuntarily raised his left hand, and white light began to emerge from it.
Tang Yilin narrowed her eyes, feeling that the handsome little brother's awakened martial soul was definitely not a useless one.
Kong Xuan looked at his left hand, where a small gun appeared.
His breathing became somewhat rapid, because he had not awakened a useless martial soul!
With a thought, the small gun in Kong Xuan's left hand instantly grew larger and was held in his hand.
Upon closer inspection, he finally saw what his awakened martial soul looked like.
The spear's shaft was crystal clear, radiating an incandescent light.
Moreover, his martial spirit is different from ordinary spears; its blade is extremely long, occupying nearly one-third of the spear's length.
Just looking at the quality of this spear, it's definitely not an ordinary item.
Kong Xuan then noticed that two ancient characters were engraved on the shaft of the spear: Qingtian.
Kong Xuan was slightly taken aback when he saw these two words; they were no ordinary words.
Just then, Tang Yilin's exclamation interrupted Kong Xuan's thoughts.
"Innate full soul power?!"
