Chapter 20 Martial Soul Awakening
Over the next period, the elders of the family successively consumed whale glue, and the effects seemed to be much better than expected. Almost everyone increased their soul power by one level, and after consuming the whale glue, their bodies excreted a large amount of black substance through their skin; these were impurities and even toxins.
For a while, everyone looked at Yang Podi with a smile and liked to hug and cuddle the five-year-old child, leaving me speechless.
Yang Podi himself was also secretly pondering whether the whale glue was really that effective. His elders had not only increased their soul power by one level, but each of them had also increased their cultivation speed considerably.
It's not surprising that Yang Podi didn't know; it's just that it involves a lot more complex issues. In the Podi clan, everyone knows how to refine medicine, and everyone enjoys it. For them, refining medicine seems more important than cultivation.
However, as the saying goes, every medicine has some degree of toxicity. Medicinal herbs contain various toxic substances, especially after long-term processing.
It has penetrated deeper into the blood and marrow of the clan, and can no longer be removed.
Whale glue can strengthen physical fitness and improve blood circulation, thereby enhancing a Soul Master's physical resilience. It also helps expand meridians and remove impurities from the body, making it a treasure for the Breaking Clan. In particular, the elders consume ten-thousand-year-old whale glue, the effects of which are comparable to some rare and precious herbs.
After consuming whale glue, his grandfather Yang Wudi had already broken through to level 78, while his second grandfather Yang Wushuang had broken through to level 77. Moreover, at their current cultivation speed, they would both be able to break through to the Soul Douluo level in at most two years.
After more than half a year, Yang Podi finally turned six years old and grew to be nearly 1.3 meters tall. Although his face was still childish, he already looked like a little adult.
My mom's belly has started to grow bigger recently; it looks like she'll be welcoming a little brother or sister in a few months. My dad has been staying home a lot lately, not going out to do anything. He's mainly taking care of my pregnant mom and Xiao Yang Podi, while also diligently cultivating his soul power.
Since taking whale gelatin, Dad's cultivation speed has noticeably increased. After breaking through to level 73 five months ago, he's now at the peak of level 73 and is estimated to break through to level 74 in about two months. Of course, this is also related to the fact that Dad hasn't been refining medicine recently. Meanwhile, Mom, Niu Jinfeng, has broken through to level 65.
That day, after dinner, Dad said to Yang Podi, "Son, get some rest early today and make sure you're in good spirits. Tomorrow is the martial spirit awakening ceremony for our entire clan, and you'll be awakening your martial spirit tomorrow."
Hearing this, Yang Podi was also very excited. After six years on the Douluo Continent, he was finally about to awaken his martial soul. The Douluo Continent was known as the Bloodline Continent, where the martial soul was the foundation for everyone. Only by awakening a good martial soul and a high level of innate soul power could one continue to develop. Otherwise, no matter how hard you tried, it would be difficult to achieve anything.
Just like Yu Xiaogang in the original story, he awakened the martial soul Luo Sanpao and had a half-level innate soul power. If it weren't for his father being the sect leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, he probably wouldn't have been able to become a soul master.
Yu Xiaogang himself spent half his life trying, reading through a large number of books from the Spirit Hall and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, but he still couldn't find a way to break through to level 30.
His family background and connections are inferior to Yu Xiaogang's, and his flirting skills are also worlds apart from Yu Xiaogang's. He might end up being a useless person for life.
Amidst excitement and trepidation, he gradually drifted off to sleep. His parents watched Yang Podi with some worry, knowing that every Soul Master goes through this process.
The next morning, Dad Yang Zhentian and Mom brought him to the place where he was to awaken his martial spirit. Dad originally wanted Mom to wait for news at home, but Mom was too worried and insisted on coming. In the end, Dad couldn't persuade Mom otherwise, so he had to let her come as well.
The place where the martial spirit was awakened was actually outside the ancestral hall of the Po clan. There were eight chairs outside the ancestral hall, and sitting on them were his grandfather Yang Wudi and the seven elders of the Po clan.
Unexpectedly, the awakening ceremony was presided over by his father, Yang Zhentian, and he was pulled to the front of the line by his father. Yang Podi was speechless for a moment. He had originally planned to watch how others awakened their martial souls, but he ended up being pulled to the front.
Soon, everyone had arrived. There were 13 children participating in this Martial Soul Awakening, all of whom were direct disciples of the Breaking Clan.
In the world of Soul Masters, the biggest difference between direct and collateral disciples lies in their Martial Soul. No matter how high your father's status, if your awakened Martial Soul isn't the family's inherited one, you'll be relegated to the collateral line. After all, every family has its own cultivation method suitable for its Martial Soul. This is also why Yu Xiaogang was ostracized by his family.
Yang Zhentian took out six black stones and arranged them into a hexagonal shape.
"Defeat the enemy, come up, and come to the center of the hexagon."
Upon hearing this, Yang Podi arrived at the center of the hexagon with a mix of nervousness and excitement.
Suddenly, Yang Zhentian, the father, channeled his martial spirit, and a huge Soul-Breaking Spear appeared in his hand. The Soul-Breaking Spear was over three meters long, with the tip of the spear accounting for about a quarter of its length.
Immediately afterwards, six beams of light from Yang Zhentian's hand entered six black stones, from which golden light emanated, shining into Yang Podi's body, like a golden dome that enveloped Yang Podi's entire body.
My father's voice came from beside me: "Break the enemy, close your eyes, extend your right hand and slowly feel it."
Yang Podi closed his eyes, carefully sensing the changes within his body. He felt as if a power was flowing through his entire body, making him feel warm and comfortable.
As time went by, a Soul-Shattering Spear gradually materialized in his right hand, almost identical to his father's Soul-Shattering Spear, except that the black body of the spear seemed to be deeper, and the spearhead seemed to be sharper.
But it seemed that this was not the end. Soul power continued to flow through his body, surging like a river, but there was no reaction in his left hand.
Yang Podi thought to himself, "This shouldn't be happening. Logically, after the Soul-Breaking Spear awakened, I seemed to sense another different martial soul awakening as well, but there was no reaction in my left hand. Shouldn't twin martial souls be one in the left hand and one in the right? Something feels off."
Just as Yang Podi was pondering to himself, his body gradually returned to calm, leaving only the huge Soul-Breaking Spear in his hand.
"Son, not bad, the awakened martial soul is the Soul-Breaking Spear."
Yang Zhentian breathed a sigh of relief. The Soul-Breaking Spear is the inherited martial spirit of the Breaking Clan. Normally, as long as a disciple awakens the Soul-Breaking Spear martial spirit, their innate soul power is generally not too bad, and very few are below level five innate soul power.
