Chapter 3 Strange Golden Light, Martial Soul Awakening
"Young Master, the Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony is about to begin. We should head to the main hall to awaken our Martial Souls." Uncle Fu's voice came from outside the courtyard.
"Okay, I'll go right away after I finish reading this," Tang Yu replied casually.
As a transmigrator, Tang Yu hated these kinds of group activities the most. He was supposed to arrive at eight o'clock, but in reality, he couldn't start until nine o'clock, so he wasn't in a hurry to continue reading his book.
The "Soul Beast Compendium" is what he has been studying recently.
The book records thousands of known soul beasts on the continent, ranging from the Soft Bone Rabbit with ten years of cultivation to the Titan Giant Ape with one hundred thousand years of cultivation.
What Tang Yu was most interested in was the part about the transformation of 100,000-year-old soul beasts.
"A 100,000-year-old soul beast can choose to regenerate into a human form. After transformation, it is no different from a human, but its cultivation must start from zero... Before reaching level 70, a transformed soul beast cannot completely conceal its soul beast aura, making it easy for powerful individuals to detect it..."
Upon reading this passage, Tang Yu felt a stirring in his heart.
Because of his intervention in this life, Ah Yin didn't run around with Tang Hao but stayed at the Haotian Sect to nurture her pregnancy. So, the plot from the original story probably won't happen.
Tang San won't have to lose his mother anymore, and Tang Yu can finally enjoy life at the Clear Sky Sect.
After all, Tang Yu didn't want to live a life of seclusion and hardship. Now that he had transmigrated and become a direct disciple of the Haotian Sect, he should at least enjoy himself...
Half an hour later, Tang Yu closed the book, stretched, and was about to head to the main hall when a golden light suddenly streaked across the sky above the courtyard.
"That is..."
Before he could finish speaking, the golden orb flew toward him and quickly entered his body.
"No, what's going on?"
Before Tang Yu could react, the golden light instantly released a burst of violent energy, which began to rampage and crash through his body.
Before long, Tang Yu felt his meridians completely severed.
"what!"
Tang Yu could no longer withstand the energy and finally curled up in the chair, slowly losing consciousness.
As all the meridians in Tang Yu's body were severed, the golden light stopped darting around and finally stopped at his dantian. The golden light dissipated, revealing a dull, cracked spherical solid.
At the same time, the damaged dragon core in his dantian emitted a faint light, and golden patterns instantly spread throughout his body.
Tang Yu's severed meridians began to regenerate, and a faint golden light appeared in his blood...
"Young master, wake up!"
Tang Yu opened his eyes and found himself still lying in the courtyard. The excruciating pain in his body had disappeared, replaced by a strange feeling of fullness.
He seemed to have just had a dream in which a golden light was colliding with a red light.
Tang Yu tried hard to recall the dream, wanting to see clearly what the golden and red lights were.
However, no matter how hard he tried to recall, he couldn't make out what the golden and red lights were; everything was blurry.
"The Martial Soul Awakening is almost over! Why is the young master still sleeping?" Uncle Fu asked anxiously.
What exactly was that golden light that invaded his body just now?
And what exactly were those golden and red lights in the dream?
At this moment, Tang Yu was completely dumbfounded, his mind filled with a million "whys".
"Young Master, let's hurry to the sect's main hall. If we're late, Master will be angry," Uncle Fu said anxiously again.
"Hmm." Tang Yu shook his head, suppressing his doubts, and hurried towards the sect's main hall.
Tang Yu arrived at the sect's main hall shortly afterward.
Looking at the massive sect hall, Tang Yu took a deep breath to rouse himself.
As soon as Tang Yu stepped into the palace, he felt a stern gaze. Looking up, he saw that his grandfather, Tang Kun, was glaring at him.
Seeing his grandfather's angry expression, Tang Yu awkwardly scratched his head and smiled.
Looking at his grandson like this, Tang Kun shook his head helplessly. He could never bring himself to be harsh with this grandson. "I really owe you a debt of gratitude in this life."
"Eh..."
Tang Kun feels heartbroken whenever he recalls what happened four years ago.
Four years ago, Tang Kun, who was already an 89th-level Soul Douluo, took Tang Yu's parents to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt soul beasts. However, they unfortunately encountered an extremely powerful soul beast clan, whose leader was over 90,000 years old.
Even if Tang Kun gives it his all, his chances of winning won't be very high. Besides the clan leader, there are at least several soul beasts with cultivation levels of around 50,000 years. This force is simply beyond their ability to stop.
In order not to be a burden on his grandfather Tang Kun, Tang Yu's parents began to scatter and flee.
In the end, Tang Yu's grandfather, Tang Kun, successfully escaped, while his parents remained in the forest.
Tang Kun could never get over this incident. He channeled all his guilt into spoiling his grandson, and he never forced Tang Yu to do anything he didn't like...
Tang Yu looked away from his grandfather's gaze and began to look around.
Looking around, it was packed with people; it was estimated that there were at least a hundred people gathered in the sect's main hall at this moment.
Besides children, there are also many adults. After all, the awakening of martial spirits is not only a stage for children but also for adults. Let's see which clan's disciples have better talent.
Most of the people standing at the very front were inner disciples of the Haotian Sect, each one strong and well-built.
Most of the outer disciples stood at the back.
In addition, the members of the four single-attribute families were also positioned quite far forward.
Those standing on the outermost edge were members of small to medium-sized affiliated families.
There are reasons why these people come to the Haotian Sect to awaken their martial souls.
On the first of each month, the Haotian Sect awakens the martial souls of its disciples who have reached the age of six and those of its affiliated clans.
The Clear Sky Sect will provide strong support to any promising genius Soul Master. This is why so many affiliated clans are willing to join and rely on the Clear Sky Sect. Besides its powerful strength, it also offers excellent resources...
Tang Yu tiptoed to take a look, and finally walked towards the awakening team in the very center of the hall.
When Tang Yu walked towards the center of the main hall, he immediately attracted the attention of others.
There is curiosity, and there is scrutiny.
"Whose child is this? Why is he so late, and why is he dressed so strangely?"
As a transmigrator, Tang Yu disliked wearing the Haotian Sect's uniform black outfit, especially in the middle of summer; it would be strange if he didn't suffocate.
To stay cool, Tang Yu specially had a set of shorts and a short-sleeved shirt made; in short, whatever was comfortable was the best option.
Those unfamiliar with him were curious, while the Haotian Sect disciples who knew Tang Yu made no attempt to hide their contempt.
In the martial arts-loving Haotian Sect, a "bookworm" who only loves reading and not practicing martial arts is naturally an anomaly.
"Look, Tang Yu is here."
"I heard he hid in the yard reading again yesterday and didn't even participate in the morning exercise."
Hearing the whispers around him, Tang Yu remained unfazed and walked straight to the end of the awakening team.
Over the past six years, he has become accustomed to these gazes.
In his previous life, as an ordinary person, he understood a principle: rather than caring about what others think, it's better to focus on doing your best.
Unlike Tang Yu, Tang Kun, sitting on the high platform of the main hall, turned green with anger as he listened to his brother teasing his grandson, but he didn't say anything, since it was an undeniable fact.
