Chapter 3: Martial Soul Awakens, the Continent Trembles
The system didn't respond to Su Yu's gratitude.
Whether it was out of shyness or for some other reason, the system fell silent.
Su Yu didn't press further. Instead, he fetched another fruit from the kitchen and took a bite.
With his worries lifted and the future looking bright, Su Yu was in a great mood.
Even the fruit in his hand tasted particularly sweet.
At the same time, Su Yu also received a reward from the system.
He began studying the technique [Divine Supreme Art].
At first glance, Su Yu was shaken to the core.
This technique far exceeded anything he had imagined.
According to its description, the first nine levels correspond roughly to Spirit Masters through to Title Douluo.
From the tenth level onward, one steps into the realm of gods.
And beyond that, it becomes increasingly mystical, even transcending what typical martial techniques describe.
"What a treasure!"
Su Yu exclaimed, then quickly followed the instructions flowing through his mind and began cultivating.
This was the benefit of the system—any rewarded technique could be practiced smoothly, even by someone like Su Yu who had never cultivated before.
In no time at all, he had completed one full meditation cycle, and specks of inner power began to rise within his body.
Su Yu had excellent physical constitution, with little impurity in his body and unobstructed meridians.
After all, he had eaten plenty of good things since childhood.
Those were all provided by Uncle Tian. Every time he ate them, his body would feel warm and comfortable.
He suspected those items were rare and precious spiritual treasures.
Now, as he began cultivating, the advantages of his solid foundation became fully apparent.
His first cultivation experience was extremely pleasant.
Feeling streams of warmth flow through his limbs and bones, Su Yu thought this process was simply divine.
Before he knew it, an hour had passed.
As Su Yu was immersed in cultivation, he gradually heard footsteps approaching outside.
The sound of footsteps drew closer and clearer.
If it were the old Su Yu, he might not have noticed.
But now, he could hear it distinctly.
He exited his meditative state and stood up, dusting off his hands.
At that moment, the footsteps stopped, and two figures appeared outside the door.
A man and a woman.
The man was tall, nearly two meters, dressed in black, his face stern and commanding.
His long black hair draped over his shoulders, with a strand of golden hair running through it—quite a peculiar sight.
The woman wore a flowing light green dress. Her skin was fair, her features gentle, and her slender figure exuded a kind, graceful aura.
Seeing the two of them, Su Yu's eyes lit up with joy as he shouted, "Uncle Tian! Aunt Bi!"
The two stepped into the courtyard. Aunt Bi smiled gently and stepped forward, placing a delicate hand on Su Yu's head.
"Yu'er, have you been waiting long?"
She ruffled his hair affectionately, smiling as she spoke.
"Not at all, I just finished my training."
Su Yu smiled back.
Since he transmigrated to this world, these two had taken care of him all along.
In his heart, he already considered them family.
Although he could guess they weren't ordinary people, that didn't matter. They had raised him.
Their kindness was greater than the sky itself.
"Have you eaten?" the woman asked warmly.
"I have," Su Yu nodded. Two fruits were enough for breakfast.
"Since you've eaten, then it's time to take care of the real business today."
"You're already six years old—it's time to awaken your Martial Soul."
"Come with me."
The man known as Uncle Tian turned and walked outside.
Su Yu quickly followed.
The three of them left the house and turned into an alley.
"This is too slow," Uncle Tian said, and with that, he scooped up Su Yu. His figure vanished like a gust of wind.
Moments later, the three appeared in a secluded mountain valley.
"Considering your Martial Soul awakening might cause a commotion, I picked a remote spot."
Uncle Tian offered a brief explanation.
"Oh, I see!" Su Yu scratched his head, indicating he understood.
Uncle Tian glanced at Su Yu, then a flash of light appeared in his hand—six golden stones.
He arranged them neatly, changed his hand gesture, and instantly a golden six-pointed star array emerged.
The array was inscribed with mystical patterns, radiating a strange power.
"Step into the formation," Uncle Tian instructed.
Su Yu immediately complied.
Next moment, Uncle Tian's aura surged. Behind him, the image of a black dragon coiled, its golden eyes exuding an overwhelming pressure.
"Begin!"
With a loud shout from Uncle Tian, the six-pointed array burst into radiant golden light, forming a golden barrier around Su Yu.
Tiny golden particles entered Su Yu's body, as though awakening a dormant power deep within him.
"I wonder what my Martial Soul will be..." Su Yu thought silently.
As the golden light entered his body, something stirred.
Suddenly, a dazzling nine-colored light erupted from Su Yu.
Above his right hand floated a perfectly square object, exuding a primordial and ancient aura.
Coiled around this object was a nine-colored dragon, majestic and sacred beyond words.
Its mere presence emitted an aura of supreme dominance.
Wind and clouds shifted violently in the sky. A phantom nine-colored dragon spiraled around the object, then shot into the heavens.
"ROAR!"
A thunderous dragon's roar echoed across the skies, shaking the entire continent.
In various soul beast forests, beasts of all ranks suddenly trembled in unison, lying flat on the ground in fear.
Even high-level soul beasts stirred restlessly.
Among humans, countless top-tier experts looked puzzled, their expressions strange.
Shrek Academy, Sea God Pavilion.
An elderly man lying on a lounge chair abruptly stood up.
Golden light flared around him as a white dragon soared into the sky, releasing a radiant dragon cry. Divine light bathed the entire Sea God Island.
Heaven Soul Empire, Unknown Location.
The sky suddenly darkened. A low yet overwhelming dragon roar echoed.
Deep within the Star Dou Forest, a silver figure slowly opened their eyes, revealing mysterious and noble purple pupils.
"It has awakened, huh..."
From the darkness came a soft, murmuring voice...
