Aole City is a coastal city on the east coast of the Sun Moon Federation, adjacent to the sea.
The city is unusually bustling today, for it's the annual Awakening Day.
In the world of Douluo Continent, people possess a being called a Martial Spirit. A Martial Spirit is part of their body and can be any animal, plant, or object. At the age of six, through a awakening ceremony, they can awaken their own Martial Spirit. The annual Awakening Day is the day when Martial Spirits are awakened.
If a Soul Weapon is a hoe, then this person's farming ability will be stronger than others. If a Soul Weapon is an animal, perhaps this person could possess some simple abilities of that animal. Therefore, Soul Weapons have long become an important factor in changing people's lives.
More importantly, people are looking forward to the appearance of soul power. Soul power is a kind of energy that nourishes and enhances martial souls. Everyone has a martial soul, but even among a thousand people, there may not be one who can appear with soul power alongside their martial soul.
Soul power is equivalent to the future, equivalent to strength. When a martial soul appears with soul power, it can be cultivated through the cultivation of soul power to improve its own martial soul, thus becoming a noble profession that has always existed on the Douluo Continent for thousands of years - a Soul Master.
So, even ordinary citizens hope that their children will manifest soul power on their Sixth Soul Awakening Day. This awakening could potentially change a child's life, and even benefit the entire family.
The street in front of Hongshan Academy was already crowded early this morning, with parents bringing their children to participate in the awakening event.
"Dad, what will our martial souls be" The six-year-old boy looked at his father with excitement. He loved to hear his father tell him stories about Soul Masters. His beautiful big eyes were full of longing.
The boy had short black hair, he was a little taller than other children his age. Most striking were his eyes, big and bright with clear black pupils and long eyelashes that even many girls envied. Though his clothes were ordinary, his outstanding features made him easily noticeable.
Father was an ordinary middle-aged man. He was of average height and build, and everything about him seemed so unremarkable.
"Even Dad doesn't know, it depends on luck." Father sighed inwardly. Awakening Day was also a dividing day, dividing one's life. Whether or not one possessed soul power would undoubtedly determine the course of their life. Fortunately, in this era, even if one couldn't become a Soul Master, there was still the possibility of having a good future.
"I'll definitely have soul power, right" The handsome boy's eyes were full of hope.
Father patted his head and smiled softly, "Whether you have soul power or not, Dad loves you."
Within the academy, parents continuously led their children out. The vast majority wore expressions of dejection or sighs. Occasionally, one would be filled with joy and excitement. Without a doubt, this meant their spirit had awakened with soul power. They would instantly attract the attention of those around them, who gazed upon them with envy and jealousy.
As time passed, the sun grew increasingly intense, and the beautiful boy's excitement waned considerably.
"Tang Wulin!" A teacher from Shrek Academy walked out, looking at the table in his hand and calling out a name.
"I'm here!" The handsome boy widened his eyes with excitement, jumping up.
Tang Zi-ran was also invigorated, looking at his excited son and walking towards him hand in hand.
"Come with me." Perhaps because he had too much work on Awakening Day, the teacher seemed a little indifferent, turning and walking ahead. Tang Ziruan hurriedly followed along with Tang Wulin.
Walking on the road to Shrek Academy, Tang Wulin looked at everything around him excitedly. For him, everything was so novel. Shrek Academy is an elementary comprehensive academy that can accommodate 2,000 students. The architecture in the academy is ancient and quaint with white roofs and red walls. The campus is very clean. On the day before school started, compared to the hustle and bustle outside, the academy seemed particularly quiet. Even Tang Wulin's excited heart seemed to calm down with the environment here.
The teacher led them to a circular teaching building and said to Tang Ziran, "Parents, please wait here."
Tang ZiRan nodded, looking at his son and said: "Listen to the teacher's command and do your best, son! Dad is right here waiting for you."
Tang Wulin nodded vigorously, "Dad, I will have a powerful spirit."
As Tang Zhiran watched her son follow the teacher into the circular building, a tinge of wistfulness and reminiscence flickered in her eyes. This type of circular building could be found in any primary academy, known as the Awakening Chamber, specifically designed to assist six-year-old children with their spirit awakening. Every Awakening Day, the academy would invite Spirit Masters from the Spirit Pagoda to conduct the awakening ceremony. Decades ago, she too had entered the Awakening Chamber with such hope.
The Awakening Room wasn't just a single place for soul awakening, but had seven floors, each with its own awakening chamber. Tang Wulin was brought to the awakening chamber on the third floor.
As soon as Tang Wulin entered the awakening chamber, he felt a dizzying sensation. The floor, walls, and even the ceiling were engraved with intricate and magnificent patterns. A strange feeling welled up in his heart, as if something within his body was stirring restlessly.
A middle-aged man in an archaic orange robe with dark, soul beast-shaped embroidery adorned the fabric was found inside the Awakened Chamber.
Tang Wulin had always loved listening to his father tell stories. In those stories, there were Spirit Masters, beings from the Spirit Pagoda who were mysterious and powerful. They were a very special type of Soul Master with a very high status on the continent. But this was the first time he'd actually met one.
"Hello," Tang Wulin said timidly.
The spirit master wore a kind smile. "Come, friend, stand in the middle."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Tang Wulin blinked his eyes and obediently walked over to stand still, then couldn't help but ask: "Master Soul Master, what kind of spirit will I have"
The Spirit Master smiled faintly. "I don't know either! You'll be able to see it once you awaken. But your eyes are so beautiful, if your Martial Soul is related to your eyes, that would be perfect."
Tang Wulin's eyes lit up, "Lingmu I've heard of it. It was the first master of the Spirit Pagoda..."
The Spirit Weaver interrupted, "Concentrate and calm your mind. I'm about to begin." and down, surprise flashing in his eyes, "What have you been up to I feel like your aura has elevated"His cultivation had just reached the Title Douluo level, lacking only a spirit ring. Tang Wulin's...
