Chapter 2: Twin Martial Souls
Just as Zhou Heng was pondering the matter in his heart.
That Spirit Master named Lin Yu spoke up, interrupting Li Zongyu's lecture: "Alright, Village Chief Li, let us hurry and begin the martial soul awakening."
Upon hearing Lin Yu's words, Li Zongyu nodded in agreement and said: "You are right, let us awaken the children's martial souls first."
Lin Yu walked forward, opened the doors of the branch Spirit Hall, and led the children who were to undergo martial soul awakening inside.
Zhou Heng followed in the line, walking together into the branch Spirit Hall.
The layout of the branch Spirit Hall was ordinary; there were no magnificent or golden decorations, just a relatively large room.
Lin Yu took six pitch-black round stones from her Storage Soul Guidance Device and arranged them on the floor into a hexagram array.
She then took out a shining blue crystal ball and placed it on her left hand.
After finishing these tasks, Lin Yu finally ceased her movements and turned to look at the children standing in a row before her.
She spoke: "Children, in a moment I will call your names one by one; the child whose name is called shall step forward and walk into the array.
I will activate the array to awaken your own martial souls.
Do you all understand?"
These young children replied in unison: "Understood!"
Lin Yu nodded, feeling much more at ease; this Li Village was close to Wuhun City, so the children understood quite a bit.
Lin Yu secretly circulated her soul power to stimulate her martial soul.
A bright yellow scepter appeared out of thin air in Lin Yu's right hand, and at her feet, four rotating rings—yellow, yellow, purple, and purple—unfolded one by one; the scepter emitted a warm aura, causing the nervous children in the room to relax.
Zhou Heng looked at the martial soul in Lin Yu's right hand, his heart filled with deep emotion; a four-ringed Soul Ancestor coming to a village to awaken martial souls for children showed that the current Spirit Hall could be called the number one power on the entire continent.
Zhou Heng looked forward to his own martial soul awakening; as long as he had soul power after awakening his martial soul, Zhou Heng would definitely go and pursue the opportunities from the original work.
Especially that Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well; Zhou Heng would find a way to use resources to build up his strength—this was something Zhou Heng had decided upon after learning he had transmigrated into the Douluo World.
"Wang Hu, enter the array."
Lin Yu spoke, letting the child named Wang Hu walk into the array.
After Wang Hu walked into the array, the scepter in Lin Yu's right hand flashed with a yellow light, and a surge of energy from Lin Yu's body was channeled into the six stones.
The energy Lin Yu channeled was the soul power of the Douluo World; after this soul power entered the six awakening stones, a hazy layer of pale golden radiance enveloped Wang Hu.
Subsequently, golden light spots drifted out one by one from the black awakening stones and slowly entered Wang Hu's body.
Very quickly, a short blade appeared on Wang Hu's right hand, the blade flashing with a sharp, cold light.
Streams of ice-blue airflow coiled around the short blade; the moment the short blade appeared, the temperature in the surrounding two-meter radius centered on Wang Hu immediately dropped by two or three degrees.
The entire branch Spirit Hall immediately became filled with spreading cold air.
A trace of joy flashed in Lin Yu's eyes; this child's martial soul was not bad, causing such an effect just upon awakening and carrying an ice-cold attribute—it could basically be determined that his Innate Spirit Power was no lower than level seven.
Wang Hu looked at the short blade in his hand, a smile appearing on his face before he even realized it.
"Child, concentrate your mind and imagine withdrawing your martial soul, then come over to test your Innate Spirit Power and see what level it is." Lin Yu hurriedly spoke, reminding Wang Hu to come over to test his Innate Spirit Power.
Wang Hu followed Lin Yu's instructions, concentrated his mind to withdraw his martial soul, then came before Lin Yu and placed his hand on the blue crystal ball in her left hand.
The moment Wang Hu placed his hand on the crystal ball, the crystal ball erupted with a burst of light, illuminating more than half of the branch Spirit Hall.
Lin Yu looked at the light blooming from the crystal ball, her face full of smiles, and said to Wang Hu with a smile: "Innate Spirit Power level seven and a half. What is your martial soul? Are you interested in joining the Spirit Hall?"
A smile rose on Wang Hu's face: "Spirit Master, my martial soul is the Cold Wind Blade, and it possesses the ability to create cold air.
My parents both hope I will join the Spirit Hall; of course, I am willing to join the Spirit Hall."
Hearing that Wang Hu was willing to join the Spirit Hall, the smile on Lin Yu's face became even more radiant; this time, having a little genius like Wang Hu with Innate Spirit Power level eight and a half, she would certainly be able to obtain more rewards than before.
"Good, good, good. Wait to the side for a moment; after I finish the task, I will take you to Wuhun City to attend school." Lin Yu let Wang Hu wait to the side and began to continue awakening martial souls for the children.
"Next, Wang Xiao."
A child walked into the array, and Lin Yu repeated her previous actions.
"Martial soul: Sickle, Innate Spirit Power level two and a half."
"Next, Wang Fei."
"Martial soul: Cloth Bag, Innate Spirit Power level five."
……
"The last one, Zhou Heng."
Zhou Huan restrained his excited mood and walked into the array.
After Lin Yu injected soul power, Zhou Heng only felt a surge of energy pour into his body, rushing toward the depths of his body.
Zhou Heng could not help but close his eyes, his mental power being drawn into a pitch-black space.
Here, Zhou Heng saw a phantom, a humanoid figure, slowly solidifying within the space.
The more Zhou Heng looked, the more shocked he became, because Zhou Heng had seen that figure before—to be precise, he had seen it in his previous life.
That was the villain from the Ultraman animation he had watched in his previous life—the Reiburaondo Star Person.
Two sharp horns on top of the head, a pair of glowing eyes, a body resembling one wearing blue and white armor, holding the Ultimate Battle Instrument, with dark red mist coiling outside the body.
These characteristics confirmed to Zhou Heng that this humanoid phantom was the Reiburaondo Star Person, known as the Ultimate Lifeform in the Ultra Universe.
'My martial soul is this Reiburaondo Star Person?' Zhou Heng was incomparably shocked by this.
Just as Zhou Heng was surprised, the phantom of the Reiburaondo Star Person began to change, transforming toward the form of a Reionics.
After becoming a Reionics, the Ultimate Battle Instrument held in hand also turned into an Awakening Battle Instrument.
But this transformation did not stop; it continued to change, and finally, the image of the Reionics disappeared, leaving only a blue and white, palm-sized rectangular box.
This small box was the initial form of the Battle Instrument he had seen in his previous life, which netizens jokingly called a 'power strip'.
Just as Zhou Heng was happy, outside, Lin Yu only felt her soul power as if it had entered an abyss, being continuously devoured by an unknown existence.
Just as Lin Yu wanted to stop injecting soul power, Zhou Heng suddenly raised both hands, and on Zhou Huan's right hand, a blue and white rectangular small box appeared upon it.
And on Zhou Heng's left hand, a small tree floated quietly; the trunk of the small tree was entangled with strands of dim patterns, and apart from that, the small tree martial soul did not display a single bit of anything special.
Lin Yu looked at the unknown martial soul on Zhou Heng's right hand, the smile on her face becoming increasingly radiant.
And as Lin Yu looked at the small tree martial soul on Zhou Heng's left hand, her expression changed several times before returning to calm.
It took Lin Yu quite a while to come back to her senses, after which she hurriedly came before Zhou Heng and handed the crystal ball in her left hand to Zhou Huan, wanting Zhou Heng to test his Innate Spirit Power.
Seeing Lin Yu's actions, Zhou Heng focused his mind to retract both martial souls, then raised his hand and placed it on the crystal ball.
The crystal ball immediately burst forth with brilliant light, illuminating the entire Spirit Hall branch, making Lin Yu even more excited in her heart.
"Little friend, you have Innate Full Soul Power and excellent talent; would you like to join our Spirit Hall?"
"The benefits of our Spirit Hall are absolutely the best on the continent, and we will certainly be able to let you break through to the Title Douluo realm."
In truth, Lin Yu did not know if the Spirit Hall could actually do that, but attracting this genius into the Spirit Hall first was definitely not wrong, and she would surely be able to receive a generous reward.
