Chapter 201: Little Dragon's Second Awakening
["Something that every Soul Master with a Beast Martial Soul can do, yet I specifically could not."]
[As Yu Xiaogang's voice fell, Yu Yuanzhen and the Grand Elder were stunned for a moment, but they quickly reacted.]
["Are you talking about... Martial Soul Possession?"]
["Exactly!"]
[Yu Xiaogang nodded.]
[Martial Soul Possession is an ability naturally possessed by all Soul Masters who awaken a Beast Martial Soul right after their Awakening.]
[By attaching the "beastly" power, attributes, and other aspects of the Martial Soul to the Soul Master themselves, the fusion of the Beast Martial Soul and the human body allows the Soul Master to reach their strongest state.]
[Within the Martial Soul system, Beast Martial Souls and Tool Spirits each have their own advantages and disadvantages.]
[But if you were to ask Soul Masters which kind of Martial Soul they would rather awaken, about eighty percent would still answer Beast Martial Soul.]
[This is because the physical enhancement brought by the Martial Soul Possession of a Beast Martial Soul is simply too useful.]
[At lower Ranks, Beast Soul Masters rely on the physical strengthening from Martial Soul Possession to practically chase and pummel Tool Soul Masters in battle.]
[The Tool Soul Masters can't do much about it either, because in the early stages, Soul Masters don't have many Martial Soul Abilities, and their total Soul Power isn't enough to be squandered freely.]
[Consequently, many battles often devolve into pure contests of physical fitness.]
[Asking a Tool Soul Master to compete in physical fitness with a Beast Soul Master?]
[Even a child knows that the Beast Soul Master will definitely have a stronger physique.]
[This physical advantage, provided there isn't a massive gap in Martial Souls or Soul Rings, will persist until the seventh Soul Ring is obtained, at which point it might ease slightly.]
[Upon obtaining the seventh Soul Ring, Tool Soul Masters gain their Martial Soul True Body, and only then does their physical fitness catch up.]
[The problem is, among all the Soul Masters on the entire Douluo Continent, how many can actually reach Level 70?]
[So, it can be said that Beast Soul Masters simply have an advantage over Tool Soul Masters.]
[As a Soul Master who had awakened a Beast Martial Soul, Yu Xiaogang had lacked the universal ability of Martial Soul Possession until today.]
[Originally, Yu Xiaogang thought this was due to Little Dragon's Malignant Mutation.]
[Although he lacked the physical enhancement advantage of Martial Soul Possession, Little Dragon's own Heaven-Defying characteristics meant that no one really cared about its inability to perform Martial Soul Possession.]
[According to his father and the Elders, if they could have a Martial Soul like Little Dragon, the inability to perform Martial Soul Possession would be nothing.]
[Therefore, Yu Xiaogang had never felt any dissatisfaction regarding the missing Martial Soul Possession function.]
[But now, as Yu Xiaogang's body came into contact with Little Dragon, it naturally occurred to him that he could now achieve Martial Soul Possession with Little Dragon.]
[Just as Yu Xiaogang had felt before, it was only today that Little Dragon had truly undergone Martial Soul Awakening.]
[Consequently, the ability that should naturally belong to a Beast Soul Master after their Martial Soul Awakening—Martial Soul Possession—was only now mastered by Yu Xiaogang.]
["Mastering Martial Soul Possession only today... doesn't that mean your Martial Soul has only truly awakened today?"]
[Yu Yuanzhen looked at Yu Xiaogang and Little Dragon with a face full of astonishment.]
[This was truly bizarre.]
[Shouldn't a Martial Soul Awakening be set for life the moment it happens?]
[Even if a Martial Soul evolves later, it's usually just an evolution in strength.]
[Whose Martial Soul evolution can actually result in a second Martial Soul Awakening?]
[Is this even logical?]
In the Black World, the people of Shrek Academy.
Indeed, was this logical?
Everyone stared blankly at Yu Xiaogang on the heavenly curtain, then looked at Master Yu Xiaogang beside them, especially Luo Sanpao, whom Yu Xiaogang had summoned early on.
At this moment, as everyone looked at Luo Sanpao's chubby, pig-like body, they couldn't help but feel heartache and deep pity for it.
You say you're both Separate Beast Spirits, so why were you awakened by Yu Xiaogang?
If you had been awakened by that Dragon God Douluo in the parallel world, you certainly wouldn't look like this now.
And if one were to ask who was hit hardest by Little Dragon's Second Awakening, it was undoubtedly Yu Xiaogang himself.
At this moment, he was staring at the heavenly curtain in disbelief, his mind filled with the fact that Little Dragon hadn't truly completed its Awakening until Yu Xiaogang reached Level 40.
The difference in parallel worlds lies only in people's choices.
In other words, his Luo Sanpao was actually a Martial Soul that had failed to fully awaken.
Martial Soul Awakening is the dividing line between ordinary people and Soul Masters; it's the first qualitative change in the lives of people on the Douluo Continent.
Such a qualitative change would not happen again in a Soul Master's future life.
Even Martial Soul evolution cannot compare to the degree of qualitative change brought by a Martial Soul Awakening.
Because it is a change from nothing to something.
Yet now, the heavenly curtain was telling him that a Martial Soul Awakening could actually happen a second time.
That unparalleled qualitative change from nothing to something could actually happen twice?
How much of an improvement would this so-called Second Awakening provide for a Soul Master?
Even thinking with one's toes, one would know it must be ridiculously massive!
"Second Martial Soul Awakening... Martial Soul Awakening... I... Flender, stop the carriage! I need to find someone to help me perform another Martial Soul Awakening!"
"I want to undergo another Martial Soul Awakening!"
Yu Xiaogang rushed to the edge of the carriage, looking like he wanted to jump out immediately.
Beside him, Flender watched his good brother nearly lose his mind and forcibly pulled him back.
"Get a grip, Xiao Gang! We're in the middle of a journey, miles from anywhere. Where are you going to find someone to awaken your Martial Soul?"
Flender said helplessly while holding onto Yu Xiaogang.
Of course, there were some things Flender didn't say.
That was, he felt that given his good brother's current situation, trying to awaken his Martial Soul would ultimately result in nothing.
The second Martial Soul Awakening of the Yu Xiaogang in the parallel world was the result of layers upon layers of accumulation.
Two thousand-year spirit rings and one Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, all from Dragon-type Spirit Beasts, were used to replenish Little Dragon's Origin.
Once it was mostly replenished, a piece of Crimson Blood Amber formed from the blood of a Dragon-type Spirit Beast of over a hundred-thousand-years was added, finally restoring everything.
Then came the Second Awakening, completing the form it was originally supposed to have.
But what about this Yu Xiaogang?
His Luo Sanpao still hadn't escaped its pig-like form.
Both of his Soul Rings were hundred-year spirit rings, and the choice of rings didn't even match Luo Sanpao's original attributes.
With such a foundation, Yu Xiaogang wanting Luo Sanpao to undergo a Second Awakening and reveal its true form—what kind of pipe dream was he having?
Flender's words made Yu Xiaogang's body stiffen.
Realizing he was being too emotional, Yu Xiaogang retreated into the carriage, his eyes still fixed on the heavenly curtain.
Second Awakening, Second Awakening...
If I could also complete a Second Awakening, wouldn't my talent finally be truly revealed?
Since Little Dragon in the parallel world has such immense potential, then my Luo Sanpao should possess the same potential.
As long as I complete a Second Awakening and let Luo Sanpao truly awaken, I will definitely be able to break through my current shackles.
As for the possibility of not being able to have a Second Awakening?
"No, I will definitely succeed in a Second Awakening, definitely!"
Yu Xiaogang clenched his fists; a future without a Second Awakening was something he would not accept!
