Sun and Moon Empire, Great Sun Royal Palace.
Early morning.
Xu Zhao slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbid air. The breath was as solid as a sharp sword and did not dissipate, making a slight popping sound in the air.
After a whole night of tedious training, the tough barrier inside my body was finally broken through.
"Level 94, finally achieved."
Xu Zhao muttered to himself, and with a slight thought, an incomparably terrifying aura instantly filled the entire secret room.
If it weren't for the top-tier soul-guided shield protecting this place from the aura, the entire imperial city would probably have been alarmed.
Behind Xu Zhao, a blazing sun suddenly rose, its golden rays illuminating the room as if it were daytime, intense and domineering.
Immediately afterwards, nine spirit rings slowly appeared, pulsating around his body.
Yellow, purple, purple, black, black, red, red, red, red!
Those last four blood-red, 100,000-year soul rings exuded a suffocating pressure.
Beside the blazing sun, a cool, silvery moon quietly emerges, its brilliance mirroring that of the sun.
Although only a solitary red 100,000-year soul ring floated above it, the chilling and aloof aura emanating from it was in no way inferior to the might of the blazing sun.
The sun and moon shine together, yin and yang intertwine.
"Level 94!"
Xu Zhao slowly withdrew his martial spirit, feeling the powerful soul force within his body, and a look of joy appeared on his face.
Having traversed twenty years, he relied on his twin martial souls and innate full soul power, along with the abundant resources of the Prince's Mansion.
Not long ago, Xu Zhao broke through level 90.
The father, who was given the title 'Great Sun' and was level 98, along with several titled retainers in the royal palace, went to hunt for souls.
In one go, he acquired the ninth ring of the Sun Martial Soul and the first ring of the Moon Martial Soul.
Two 100,000-year soul rings, and two 100,000-year soul bones.
His soul power surged to the peak of level 93.
After some more time of natural cultivation, he successfully reached level 94.
He is only one step away from becoming a level 95 Super Douluo.
His fame spread far and wide, shaking the entire Sun and Moon Empire.
Countless people are convinced that Xu Zhao will break through to the 99th level limit before he turns fifty.
Even to catch a glimpse of the realm of the gods!
"It's time to get some fresh air."
Xu Zhao stood up, straightened his robes, and was about to push open the door and go out.
Just then.
A mechanical notification sound exploded in Xu Zhao's mind without warning.
Immediately afterwards, a light blue virtual panel suddenly appeared in front of Xu Zhao's eyes.
[System loading... 1%... 99%... 100%]
The strongest Soul Master support system has been activated.
[Host's bodily functions detected as normal. Bone age assessment... six years old (8 years late... system data correction delayed... failed, original assessment maintained).]
[The host has met the requirements for awakening a martial soul: six years old.]
[New player tutorial quest released: Please travel to Holy Soul Village, south of Notting City, Fasno Province as soon as possible.]
[Mission Objective: Find Master Su Yuntao and have him assist Tang San in awakening their martial souls. The host will awaken the martial soul 'Blue Silver Grass'.]
[Mission Rewards: Martial Soul quality evolves to 'Blue Silver King', Innate Soul Power increases by one level (can break through the Innate Max Soul Power limit).]
[Note: The system has detected that the host is currently in an unknown high-energy area. Please leave as soon as possible and head to the starting village!]
Looking at the lines of light blue text before him, Xu Zhao's initial joy at his breakthrough instantly froze.
At this moment, Xu Zhao's mind was filled with a series of question marks.
"???"
Xu Zhao raised his hand, looked at his long, strong palm, and then at the glaring "six years old" on the panel.
"System? What do you mean you're 8 years late?"
"Furthermore, what does it mean to awaken a martial soul together with Tang San?"
"I awakened my martial soul 14 years ago!"
"I don't know if the system is late, or if I 'time-traveled' ahead of time!"
"Otherwise, according to this system, I should have transmigrated to Holy Soul Village 8 years ago, be the same age as Tang San, and then awakened my martial soul together!"
Xu Zhao's lips twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but complain out loud.
He transmigrated to this world and, since infancy, has been waiting for a cheat code to arrive.
As a result, he waited and waited until he was six years old when he awakened his twin god-level martial souls and was made the heir apparent of a prince.
By the time he had made rapid progress and become a Title Douluo... this damn system still hadn't arrived.
Now, he's level 94, not far from being invincible in this world. Is it coming?
And what the hell is this mission?
"You want me, the son of a prince of the Sun Moon Empire, a level 94 Title Douluo, to cross the ocean to the Douluo Continent and find this Great Soul Master Su Yuntao... to help me awaken my Martial Soul?"
"You still want to awaken a useless martial soul like Blue Silver Grass?"
Xu Zhao felt that this world was too crazy.
But complaints aside...
Xu Zhao still felt that this system had come at just the right time!
Because his lineage of princes was becoming increasingly powerful.
Even in terms of prestige, they surpass the royal family.
Xu Zhao saw it very clearly.
The emperor, who was also his uncle, had strong opinions about this.
Xu Zhao had no intention of turning against his own people.
Rather than fighting to the death with one's own relatives.
It would be better to just take the royal palace's entire crew and go to Douluo Continent.
A few years ago, the soul tool for the fleet that Xu Zhao had commissioned was successfully created.
Xu Zhao's family consisted of Xu Zhao himself, his father Xu Yu, and two retainers.
There are two more, which will almost certainly follow Xu Zhao's ordinary titles.
With advanced soul tool technology and the method of soul cores, going to Douluo Continent and relying on Xu Zhao's foresight in the plot is simply a dimensional reduction attack!
Xu Zhao had never been able to figure it out before.
Which era is this exactly?
To be precise, I don't know if Tang San has traveled here yet.
At this time, the Sun Moon Continent had not yet bordered the Douluo Continent.
Xu Zhao was worried that Tang San might have already become a god by now.
That would be the end of us.
But now, judging from the system's 'task' just now.
The system was 'eight years late'.
In other words...
Tang San is only 14 years old now.
If we had gone earlier, the Elite Tournament of Douluo Continent might not have even started yet!
The phantom images of the sun and moon behind Xu Zhao trembled slightly due to the fluctuations in his emotions.
The oppressive aura emanating from it caused space itself to distort.
The ultimate fire and the ultimate darkness are not just empty names.
(Regarding ultimate attributes, the first installment of the Douluo Continent series doesn't have this concept, but that doesn't mean they don't exist. As the rank of Douluo Star increases, more and more beings with ultimate attributes are born. In this book's setting, a thousand years ago, the founder of the Sun Moon Empire was the Ultimate Flame. To date, no ultimate attribute has appeared in recorded history on the Douluo Continent.)
If Su Yuntao's guy were really standing in front of him, he probably wouldn't even be able to withstand a single glance from Xu Zhao, and would explode and die instantly.
"etc..."
Xu Zhao's gaze suddenly fell on the task rewards section.
"Innate soul power increased by one level (allowing for breakthrough of the innate full soul power limit)?"
Xu Zhao's eyes narrowed.
At his level, his understanding of soul power was extremely profound.
Having innate full soul power at level ten is the limit for mortals.
Qian Renxue's innate level 20 is a gift from God.
Although his soul power is now as high as level 94, his foundation is still the innate full soul power he had back then.
If we could add another level on top of this, even if it's just an innate level.
The path to godhood may bring unexpected qualitative changes.
