Douluo Continent: The Ten Kings of Hell, I am the Emperor of the Underworld

Chapter 2 The Ten-Story Black Tower? Innate Soul Power Test

Sword Douluo was overjoyed to win the rock-paper-scissors game, even more so than when he defeated Bone Douluo in battle.

But he became serious as soon as the awakening ceremony began.

A long sword, entirely clear blue and resembling crystal, appeared and was held in Sword Douluo's hand.

"Rongrong, close your eyes and feel it carefully."

After giving this instruction, Sword Douluo unleashed his six soul powers, which flowed into the six black stone pillars surrounding the plaza.

The six stone pillars trembled violently, and then golden light surged forth, enveloping Ning Rongrong on the stone platform.

"Rongrong, extend your right hand."

Unlike children who have no concept of awakening, Ning Rongrong already knew how to awaken her martial soul.

Upon hearing Sword Douluo's voice, she immediately stretched out her hand.

A seven-colored light appeared in Ning Rongrong's palm, and then the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the signature martial soul of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, emerged.

A smile returned to Sword Douluo's face.

"Alright, Rongrong, you can open your eyes now. Let's test your soul power."

Without letting Sword Douluo speak, Ning Rongrong placed her hand on the crystal ball herself.

The next moment, the crystal ball's light became exceptionally dazzling.

Sword Douluo narrowed his eyes, and Bone Douluo and Ning Fengzhi also came forward.

"Sect Master, I knew Rongrong's talent must be very high. Level nine innate soul power, in recent years, no one in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School except Rongrong has been able to achieve that."

Ning Fengzhi also seemed somewhat excited.

"As expected of my daughter."

Ning Rongrong looked up and laughed, then swung her fist forcefully.

"Thank you, Grandpa Jian."

While feeling happy, Bone Douluo was also somewhat indignant.

He helped Rongrong awaken her martial soul and even measured her innate soul power at level nine. I wonder how long Sword Old Ghost will brag about it to him.

"Grandpa Bone, you should help Ning Qiuyang awaken his martial soul too. Maybe his soul power is even higher than mine."

Bone Douluo didn't say anything discouraging, but instead said to Ning Qiuyang:
"Come here, kid."

Ning Qiuyang nodded and walked to the crystal ball on the stone platform.

Like Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo also summoned his own martial soul.

A colossal bone dragon appeared, surrounded by nine spirit rings. As the Bone Douluo activated his ritual, golden light enveloped Ning Qiuyang.

The warm feeling made Ning Qiuyang feel relaxed.

As Bone Douluo's voice rang in his ears, "Stretch out your hand," Ning Qiuyang slowly extended his right hand.

Suddenly, an extremely dense layer of black mist appeared in Ning Qiuyang's hand.

Gu Rong frowned and looked at Ning Fengzhi.

The direct descendants of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School all possess the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, a martial soul that emits seven-colored light. This black mist is clearly not a sign of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

The two Title Douluos both had four words in their minds: Martial Soul Mutation.

Generally speaking, a mutation in a martial soul can either improve or worsen.

However, the more powerful a martial soul is, the lower the possibility of it mutating in a positive direction.

Ning Fengzhi knew that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, which was also one of the three upper sects, had a mutated, useless martial soul awakened by its sect leader's son, whose innate soul power was less than level one.

Hopefully, this child's martial soul won't be a useless one, otherwise it would be too much of a blow to him.

Immediately afterwards, the black mist gradually faded, and a majestic and eerie black tower appeared in Ning Qiuyang's hand.

Each level of the Black Tower is surrounded by black mist, but if you look closely, you will find a figure sitting cross-legged on each level.

"one two Three……"

Ning Qiuyang's eyes widened.

"Uncle Bone, Uncle Sword, can you tell how many stories this child's tower has?"

He wasn't that he hadn't counted them; he just found it unbelievable.

"Ten floors, it's ten floors," Gu Rong and Chen Xin answered simultaneously. Ning Fengzhi was utterly shocked.

According to records from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda evolves, it can become the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, thus removing the restriction that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda cannot acquire an eighth soul ring.

However, the sect's records have never documented what a ten-story tower is like.

However, Ning Fengzhi believed that as long as Ning Qiuyang's innate soul power was not zero, he would definitely be able to break free from the shackles of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

"Uncle Gu, quickly test Yang'er's soul power."

Gu Rong knew perfectly well why Ning Fengzhi was excited, and immediately instructed Ning Qiuyang to place his hand on the crystal ball.

Almost the instant Ning Qiuyang's hand touched the crystal ball.

The dazzling blue light almost covered the entire stone platform, and the blue light only lasted for a moment before it turned into gold.

Almost simultaneously, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo removed Ning Qiuyang's hand from the crystal ball and gave Ning Feng a wink.

Ning Fengzhi nodded decisively, and then announced to everyone:

"Ning Qiuyang's innate soul power is at level ten."

wow~
The children below erupted in a commotion.

They had all received basic Soul Master education and knew that the maximum level of innate Soul Power was only level ten.

"Ning Qiuyang actually possesses innate full soul power?"

"Quickly, I can't wait either. I hope I can also have full innate soul power."

"I'm definitely a level above you."

"I've already reached full soul power, how can you possibly be stronger than me?"

"Then...then I also have full soul power."

The children who were preparing to awaken their martial spirits were as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood, all looking forward to their own martial spirit awakening.

"Rongrong, Qiuyang, your martial soul awakening is over. Come back with me first and let the other children awaken."

Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo led Ning Qiuyang and Ning Rongrong away, leaving only Ning Fengzhi, whose heart was in turmoil, to continue presiding over the awakening ceremony.

As the sect leader, no matter how eager he was to see Ning Qiuyang, he had to hold back at this moment.

As Ning Qiuyang left with Chen Xin and the other person, he was also preoccupied with his own thoughts.

For a transmigrator like him, the mutation of his martial spirit was nothing unusual.

However, the changes in soul power during the subsequent test puzzled him. The crystal ball being filled with blue light was indeed a sign of innate full soul power, but the subsequent changes were interrupted by Chen Xin and Gu Rong before they could finish.

Ning Qiuyang had a guess in his mind.

Could it be that my innate soul power isn't level ten, but rather level twenty like Qian Renxue's?
Suddenly, Ning Qiuyang felt his sleeve being tugged.

He glanced over instinctively and saw Ning Rongrong pinching Ning Qiuyang's clothes between her thumb and forefinger, gently shaking them.

"Rongrong, what's wrong?"

Ning Rongrong lowered her head, clearly unhappy.

"Ning Qiuyang, you have innate full soul power, you won't stop playing with me from now on, will you?"

Ah this...

The corners of Gu Rong and Chen Xin's mouths were twitching.

Their beloved little princess was unhappy because she was worried that the boy might not play with her, which left the two old Douluo with mixed feelings.

If it weren't for the fact that now is the wrong time, and that Ning Qiuyang's awakening of his martial soul and innate soul power had given them a great shock, they would have loved to pin Ning Qiuyang to the ground and beat him up.

"Of course not." With two Title Douluos in front of him, Ning Qiuyang certainly wouldn't deliberately tease Ning Rongrong at this moment.

After hearing Ning Qiuyang's words, Ning Rongrong immediately became cheerful and optimistic.

"I knew it."

With that, Ning Rongrong stopped tugging at Ning Qiuyang's clothes and skipped ahead.

Chen Xin and Gu Rong exchanged a glance, both noticing that the other was gritting their teeth.

But then, the two of them still addressed Ning Rongrong in front of them:
"Rongrong, slow down, be careful not to fall."
