Chapter 0001: Day of Awakening

The teacher led them to the front of a circular teaching building and said to Tang Ziran: "Parents, please wait here for a moment"

Tang Wulin nodded vigorously, "Dad, I will have a powerful martial soul."

The awakening chamber is not just a single place for soul awakening, but consists of seven levels, each with its own awakening room. Tang Wulin was taken to the awakening room on the third level

In the awakening room, there is a middle-aged man dressed in an ancient-style long robe. The robe is orange, adorned with dark patterns embroidered in the shapes of soul beasts.

I am here! The handsome little boy's eyes widened instantly, and he jumped up with joy

The people on the Douluo Continent all possess an existence known as a martial soul. The martial soul is a part of their body and can be any animal, plant, or object. At the age of six, through the awakening ceremony, they can awaken their own martial soul. The annual Awakening Day is the day for awakening martial souls

The father is an ordinary-looking middle-aged man, of average height and build, everything about him appears so very ordinary

The spirit medium interrupted him, saying: "Calm your mind and focus, I am about to begin."

Aolai City is a coastal town located on the eastern coast of the Sun and Moon Federation, adjacent to the sea

Tang Wulin's eyes brightened, "The Spirit Eye? I have heard of it. That was the first master of the Spirit Tower..."

Walking along the path of the academy, Tang Wulin excitedly observed everything around him; to him, everything was so novel. Hongshan Academy is a primary comprehensive institution that can accommodate 2,000 students. The architectural style of the academy is ancient and simple, featuring white roofs and red walls, and the campus is kept very clean. On the day of awakening, before the start of the school year, the academy appeared particularly quiet compared to the hustle and bustle outside, and even Tang Wulin's eager heart seemed to calm down in harmony with the environment here.

Upon entering the awakening room, Tang Wulin felt a sense of dazzling confusion. The floor, the walls, and even the ceiling were engraved with some marvelous and splendid patterns. In a vague manner, he seemed to have a peculiar feeling in his heart, as if something within his body was stirring restlessly.

Tang Wulin has loved listening to his father tell stories since he was young. In these stories, there are the Spirit Transmitters, mysterious and powerful beings from the Spirit Tower. They are a very special group of soul masters, holding a highly esteemed position on the continent. However, this is the first time he has actually seen one.

Father did not know either, it all depends on luck. He sighed inwardly, realizing that the Awakening Day is also a day of division, a day that separates one's life. Whether one possesses soul power will undoubtedly determine the trajectory of a person's life. Fortunately, in this era, even if one cannot become a Soul Master, there is still a possibility of having a good future.

Hello. Tang Wulin said timidly

Tang Ziran also felt a surge of spirit as he looked at his excited son, taking his small hand and walking over

Today, the city is particularly lively, as the annual Awakening Day has arrived

Soul power is equivalent to the future, equivalent to strength. When a martial soul manifests with soul power, one can enhance their martial soul through the cultivation of soul power, thereby becoming a noble profession that has existed for thousands of years on the Douluo Continent, the Soul Master

The spirit medium wore a gentle smile and said, "Come, little one, stand in the middle"

Therefore, even the most ordinary citizens hope that their children will awaken their martial souls on the day of the Six-Year Awakening, and that they will also manifest soul power at that time, as this could very likely change the child's life and even benefit the entire family

Within the academy, parents continuously emerge with their children, the vast majority appearing dejected or sighing. Occasionally, one can be seen filled with joy and excitement; without needing to ask, it is certain that their martial soul has manifested with soul power, immediately drawing the attention of everyone around, accompanied by looks of envy and jealousy.

The street in front of Hongshan College has been overcrowded since early this morning, filled with parents bringing their children to participate in the awakening event

The young boy has short black hair and is slightly taller than children of the same age. What stands out the most is his pair of eyes; his large eyes are distinctly black and white, and his long eyelashes surpass those of many girls. Although his clothing is ordinary, his outstanding appearance is still easily noticeable.

"I will definitely have soul power, right?" The beautiful little boy's eyes were filled with hope

More importantly, people are looking forward to the emergence of soul power. Soul power is an energy that nourishes and enhances martial souls. Everyone possesses a martial soul, but even among a thousand people, there may not be a single individual who can manifest soul power alongside their martial soul.

"Come with me." Perhaps due to the excessive workload on Awakening Day, the teacher appeared somewhat indifferent, turning and walking ahead. Tang Ziran hurriedly followed Tang Wulin.

The father patted his head and smiled, saying: "Regardless of whether you possess soul power or not, Dad loves you."

"Dad, what do you think my martial soul will be?" The six-year-old boy looked eagerly at his father, filled with excitement. What he loved most was listening to his father's stories about soul masters. His beautiful big eyes were full of longing.

Tang Ziran nodded slightly and said to his son: "Follow the teacher's instructions and do your best, my son! Dad will be right here waiting for you"

Watching his son follow the teacher into the circular building, Tang Ziran's eyes revealed a hint of nostalgia and reminiscence. Such circular buildings can be found in any elementary academy; they are also known as awakening rooms, specifically designed to assist six-year-old children in their martial soul awakening. On awakening days, the academy invites spirit masters from the Spirit Tower to conduct the awakening ceremony. Decades ago, he too must have entered the awakening room filled with hope in the same manner.

If a martial soul is a hoe, then that person's ability to cultivate the land will be stronger than others. If the martial soul is an animal, perhaps that person will possess some basic abilities of that animal. Therefore, the martial soul has long become an important existence that changes people's lives

The Spirit Master smiled and said: "I don't know either! Once you awaken, you will naturally be able to see it. However, your eyes are so beautiful; if your martial soul is related to your eyes, that would be perfect"

Tang Wulin blinked his eyes, obediently walked over and stood still, then could not help but ask: "Master Spirit Transmitter, what kind of martial soul will I have?"

Tang Wulin! A teacher walked out of Hongshan Academy, looking at the form in hand and calling out a name

As time passed, the sunlight became increasingly intense, and the excitement of the beautiful little boy diminished significantly.
