Douluo Continent: Starting from Awakening the Vermilion Bird Martial Soul

"What brings you here, Father?"

Di Yuan took out a red box from his soul tool.

The box opened, flashing a red light and emanating a powerful energy aura, along with an extremely strong presence.

"A soul bone." Upon seeing what was inside, Di Hong was slightly taken aback, but quickly realized that this soul bone was the 60,000-year-old left leg soul bone passed down in his family.

Looking at the red soul bone, Di Hong was somewhat astonished.

"Father, are you going to give me this soul bone now?"

He is not even seven years old yet, and it seems a bit too early for him to absorb a soul bone now.

This 60,000-year-old inherited soul bone is very complete, of very high quality, and contains a tremendous amount of energy.

Di Yuan said, "This soul bone will be yours after your martial soul awakens."

"Whether it's early or late absorption, it's all about absorption."

"This soul bone was left behind by our first ancestor, the only titled Douluo in history. It originated from a 60,000-year-old fire leopard, and its quality is considered excellent."

"You should absorb it."

"Otherwise, leaving it there would be a waste."

The Di family nowadays, apart from Di Hong, has no other genius. Giving them this soul bone would be a complete waste.

"The future of the Di family still needs your support." Patting Di Hong on the shoulder, Di Yuan now placed all his hopes on Di Hong.

"Yes, Father." Emperor Hong nodded solemnly, then took the box and turned to go back to his room.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Di Hong looked at the soul bone in his hand, took a deep breath, placed it on his left leg, and then closed his eyes to begin absorbing it.

Fiery red energy swirled around his left leg, and he could clearly feel the intense heat. The violent flame energy entered his body, and he slowly circulated his soul power to suppress this violent energy. Since his soul power level was not high, he had to exert all his soul power to suppress the violent energy surging into his body.

However, this violent energy also brought him some benefits. After being impacted by the energy, some of his meridians were opened up, and his soul power flowed more smoothly.

After absorbing the soul bone, his soul power level increased by four levels. Now his soul power level has reached level twenty-eight. In less than a year, his soul power level has increased by six levels since he absorbed the soul ring.

Feeling the warmth in his left leg, he had now completely absorbed the soul bone.

He can confidently say that among Soul Masters of the same level, he has no rivals.

Stepping out of the room, Di Yuan, who was waiting outside, noticed the increase in his soul power and nodded in satisfaction.

"This level 20 innate soul power is really something else. Others might only improve by one or two levels, or even just one level, after a year of hard work, but you easily improved by six levels."

He felt that upgrading Dihong was as easy as drinking water, and estimated that it wouldn't be long before Dihong could completely surpass him.

He was very pleased with this; of course, the stronger his son was, the better.

"Focus on your cultivation, Father is going back now."

There are still many things in the kingdom that require his attention, so he can't come every day. Besides, the volcano is quite far from the city of Sylvester.

Chapter 7 Six Years

The life of cultivation was very fulfilling. Di Hong went about his daily routine from home to work, and six years passed quickly.

For the past six years, except when he had to return to Silves City, he has basically been cultivating at the volcano. With his innate level 20 soul power and constant cultivation, his soul power level has increased very quickly.

At only twelve years old, his soul power level has already reached the level of a Soul King of level fifty-three.

A Soul King at the age of twelve is terrifying in the entire Douluo Continent. He can no longer be described as a genius, but rather as a prodigy.

In the small courtyard.

Having just finished his cultivation, Di Hong stretched his body, his bones cracking and popping.

Today, he is leaving for the nearest city. He has been training hard for the past six years, so he wants to test his current strength. The Great Soul Arena is undoubtedly the most suitable place.

The Silves Grand Arena is too far away; it's not worth going back.

The nearest city is New Town.

We arrived in the new city by horse-drawn carriage.

The new city is located in the north of the Kingdom of Silves, near a volcano. It is named the new city because it was established less than twenty years ago. Although the city is newly built, it is exceptionally prosperous and is considered one of the most prosperous cities in the entire Kingdom of Silves.

At the same time, this city is also one of the essential routes to the northern provinces directly under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Dou Empire, and its commerce is thriving.

Walking along the road, you can see many caravans doing business. Some of these caravans come from the Kingdom of Barak, some from the Fasno Province bordering the kingdom to the south, and some even from the Star Luo Empire to the south.

The New City Arena is located in the east of the city, in the most bustling area of ​​the entire city, and there is a tea stall across the street.

It was still early, so Di Hong ordered a pot of tea and a pastry at the tea stall and ate and drank. Although it was still daytime, the Soul Arena was already very lively. Many people were waiting here, and they would rush in as soon as the Soul Arena opened.

This place is a place where ordinary people and some Soul Masters can become extremely wealthy.

Soul masters battle here, and spectators can choose a Soul Master to support and bet on. If that Soul Master wins, the bettor will make a fortune. Many people have gone from poverty to wealth here, while others have gone from wealth to poverty.

After the Great Soul Arena opened, the people waiting there couldn't wait to enter. Some of them were holding gold soul coins, clearly waiting to place bets.

After sitting for a while, Di Hong paid the bill and walked towards the Soul Arena across the street. At the same time, he took out a mask from the Soul Tool at his waist and put it on. Now, his identity is known to everyone, and quite a few people are familiar with him.

Especially the nobles.

The royal family publicly claims that he was born with full soul power, but he is only twelve years old and has already reached level fifty-three. If people find out, who knows what kind of waves it will cause? A twelve-year-old Soul King, those people are not stupid.

Even with the best efforts, it's impossible to reach the Soul King level at the age of twelve.

It might even attract the attention of the Spirit Hall.

Aside from god-level martial souls, there are probably no other martial souls that possess a soul power level of innate level 20.

Even the best martial souls only have full innate soul power.

He didn't believe that the Spirit Hall wouldn't take action against him once they found out.

The Spirit Hall will not allow a Spirit Master who could potentially threaten them to exist, unless that Spirit Master is so powerful that they cannot handle him, or even if it comes at a great cost.

For example, the Haotian Sect.

The title of "Number One Sect in the World" is too prestigious, and the Spirit Hall is naturally very dissatisfied with it. Because of the existence of its sect leader Tang Chen, the Spirit Hall is unable to deal with the Clear Sky Sect.

Both being peerless Douluo at level 99, Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen clashed several times without a clear winner, but this was without risking their lives.

The Spirit Hall had no way to deal with the Clear Sky Sect, so it could only suppress them both openly and covertly.

If even a powerful sect like Haotian Sect is like this, then a prince of a kingdom should be even more discreet.

The Spirit Hall can't kill Tang Chen, but killing a prince like him would be a piece of cake.

Upon entering the Great Soul Arena, the first thing you see is a stone tablet covered with countless names. Walk around the stone tablet to reach the registration area.

The staff weren't too surprised when they saw Di Hong wearing a mask. He had worked there for many years and had seen all kinds of people. It was normal for some people to wear masks to maintain an air of mystery.

"name."

"Lingguang, the 'Ling' in 'tomb' and the 'Guang' in 'light'." Di Hong did not use his real name, but a code name. The personified name of the Vermilion Bird was Lingguang, so he naturally used this name as the code name for his fighting spirit.

"Martial Soul."

"Suzaku."

"Let's test our soul power."

The staff led Di Hong to the room where his soul power was tested.

When they saw Di Hong's level 53 soul power, they were somewhat surprised. Although he was wearing a mask, it was not difficult to tell that he was very young. However, his real age could not be determined without bone reading, which was not something that a staff member could do.

Besides, the Soul Arena doesn't care about your age, as long as you're not too young. It's perfectly acceptable for a six-year-old to participate in the Soul Arena.

Although Di Hong is only twelve years old, he is already 1.75 meters tall, which is about the same height as many adults, so it is hard to tell from his appearance that he is only twelve years old.

It's like a 1.8-meter-tall kid who looks over 30 standing in front of you saying he's eight years old—nobody would believe him.

After registration, the staff handed Di Hong an iron badge, which meant that he was a Soul Master with an Iron Battle Soul Badge, and he was probably the only Soul King in the new city with an Iron Battle Soul Badge.

After that, he went to the registration desk and paid ten gold soul coins to register.

When the female staff member at the registration desk saw that Di Hong was a Soul King, she was immediately taken aback, as this was the first time she had encountered such a situation.

Iron Soul King, how should this be arranged?

It's not that there aren't Soul King level Soul Masters, but rather that there are very few Soul Masters at that level. Most Soul Masters are at the Gold Soul level, while Iron Soul level Soul Masters are mostly at the Great Soul Master or Soul Venerable level.

It's impossible to arrange for Soul Masters of these two levels to fight each other. It would be like a father beating his son, and such a battle would be completely uninteresting.

There are no suitable Soul Masters with Silver Soul Badges, as they are mostly at the Soul Venerable or Soul Master level.

"Sir, there are no Soul King-level Soul Masters to fight you from the Iron Soul to the Silver Soul level. Would it be alright to arrange a Gold Soul level Soul Master for you?"

The staff member asked tentatively, knowing that a Soul King was someone she couldn't afford to offend. Even if he was a staff member of the Soul Arena, she was ultimately just an ordinary person.

“Okay.” Di Hong’s deep voice came from under the mask. He didn’t care what level of Soul Master he was fighting. He didn’t come here to win. He mainly wanted to test his current strength.

Chapter 8 Fighting Soul

The staff quickly arranged for Di Hong's fighting spirit.
