Douluo Continent: Gretchen at the start, empowered by the Star God.

Chapter 3 New Martial Soul: Heavenly Fire Judgment

"Brother Lang Lei, where is this?" Gretchen looked around and tilted her head.

Character: Gretchen

Gender: Female

Martial Soul: The Brush of Stars (Soul Rings: Gold Gold Gold Gold Gold Gold Gold Gold Gold Gold Gold)

Level: Exceeds the measurement range of this plane.

Lang Lei said that Gretchen's strength was perfectly normal and did not affect his affection for her.

"Little Gresh, this is the Star Dou Great Forest, another world!" Lang Lei looked at Gresh, who was exactly the same height as him, and felt a little strange.

He had almost forgotten that his body was only seven years old.

"I see. Then I'll be wherever Brother Lang Lei is." Gretchen nodded.

"Gree, be a good girl~ wait here for your brother for a while~" Lang Lei was gradually captivated by the repeated calls of "Brother Lang Lei" and completely ignored the fact that Gree's physical age was actually much older than his own.

"Elita, I remember there were other rewards besides the chance to draw prizes in the beginner quest, right?" Lang Lei called out to Elita, who was curiously circling around Gretchen.

"Yes, there are also the number of times the body can be strengthened, the empty slots of the martial soul, and the adaptive soul rings!" Elita stopped.

"Let's open all their information at once!" Li roughly understood their function and wanted to confirm it again.

Item: Body Enhancement Attempts x1

Function: Literally, it enhances physical fitness, raising the host's physical fitness to a higher level.

Introduction: You've been enhanced! You're powerful again! Go for it!

Item: Martial Soul Slot x1

Effect: As the name suggests, it gives you the opportunity to become a dual-spirit wielder, and your physical attributes will be slightly improved. Friendly reminder: the second spirit is randomly selected. Good luck!

Introduction: Fortune changes every thirty years, and this is the moment to defy fate!

Item: Adaptive Soul Ring x1

Function: Provides you with a spirit ring perfectly suited to your needs, with no upper limit on its duration. As long as the host's physical constitution can withstand it, even tens of millions of years can be arranged!

Introduction: Greyhound, is this any good?

"..."

"Elita..."

"Hmm? What's wrong, Master?"

"Promise me, never learn from those unscrupulous systems!" Lang Lei said seriously, his eyes fixed intently on Elita.

"Okay, okay!"

Gretchen looked at Langley, then at Elita.

"Elita looks a lot like her little sister Alicia..."

"..." Lang Lei was stunned for a moment before he realized that this must have been a prank by Alicia back then.

"Little Gretchen, next time you see Alicia, you can try calling her Aunt Alicia~" Lang Lei said with a wicked sense of humor.

"Huh? Just like Aunt Möbius?"

"Hmm!" Lang Lei nodded in satisfaction.

Greta lowered her head thoughtfully.

"Little Gretchen, your brother has things to do right now, so don't let anyone bother him!" Lang Lei then instructed, preparing to get down to business.

"Elita, use an empty Item Soul slot."

"Ding, used, random selection of martial soul in progress..."

"Drawn, the second martial soul, Heavenly Fire Judgment, has been bestowed."

Martial Soul: Heavenly Fire Judgment

Description: The Judgment of Heavenly Fire was forged from the Herrscher Core of the Seventh Herrscher of a certain civilization, the Herrscher of Flame. This weapon normally appears in the form of dual pistols, dominating the power of "flame" and possessing the most powerful destructive force.

It also possesses three fixed innate skills:

Zero Rated Power - Heavenly Fire Unleashed: Using this ability will consume all the soul power stored within the martial soul, requiring a day to recover. The host can replenish it by infusing their own soul power. The power of this talent skill depends on the host's level.

Boundary Release - Heavenly Fire Annihilation (Insufficient Soul Power): When the Heavenly Fire Greatsword is charged to over 150% and the user is in a state of complete unity with the sword and devoid of emotion, the Heavenly Fire Greatsword will respond to the user's transformed form. The sword undergoes a dramatic change, and the flames transform from orange-yellow to blood-red, as if the incarnation of a god of destruction has descended upon the world. Only the light emitted when a star is destroyed can rival its brilliance, hence the name "Annihilation." Only a body surpassing that of mortals can withstand this boundless destructive power. The Heavenly Fire unleashed in the Heavenly Fire Annihilation state is more than three times stronger than in its normal state. Currently, the flames and light unleashed by this skill can devour and illuminate the entire Douluo Continent. Currently, the host's own soul power is insufficient to activate this skill.

Ultimate State - Annihilation Without End (Unusable if the Martial Soul is not in its complete state): This skill is the ultimate form that Heavenly Judgment can manifest. Currently, only one person can wield it. When used, the full-force attack in the Annihilation Without End state unleashes a flame that engulfs half a planet, halting the Herrscher of the End, who has lost 30% of her Honkai energy. As if to etch her flames onto countless stars, the greatsword displays its unparalleled destructive power. The colossal flames devour the heavens, and the souls that fall beneath this sword are reduced to nothing but ashes.

This is—the sword that transcends the end.

[Note: When you grant this spirit ring, you will gradually unlock its final form. The skill of each spirit ring will be fixed as a percentage increase in attack power.]

Furthermore, the way this martial soul obtains its soul rings is quite unique, so don't be too surprised, host!

"!!!"

"My God..." Lang Lei was shocked. He felt like he could go and have a go at those false gods in the divine realm now...

Of course, just kidding. He'd probably be drained dry by the Heavenly Judgment after just one use of his skill...

Heavenly Fire's self-destruction—the name "Pure Love Greatsword" is not just for show.

At the same time, Lang Lei felt that his body, which had been percentage-enhanced by the Eye of Lightning Element, had become slightly stronger, probably improving from the early stage of Soul Master to the late stage...

We'll have to try absorbing a spirit ring to see how it goes.

But before that...

"Elita, use your Body Enhancement charges!"

"Yes, dear master."

A warm current began to flow into Lang Lei's limbs and bones. There was no pain as he had imagined; instead, he felt exceptionally comfortable.

Gradually, Lang Lei's physical abilities began to improve at an astonishing rate.

Lang Lei wasn't sure exactly how much it had improved, but he'd find out soon enough...

Lang Lei desperately wanted to roar to the sky, but with Gretsch watching from the side, he couldn't let out a fit of anger—no, I mean, let out a vent.

"Elita, use the adaptive spirit ring!" Lang Lei sat cross-legged on the ground.

"Okay, Master, get ready!"

"Um!"

As soon as Lang Lei finished speaking, a white spirit ring was placed on his body, moving up and down rhythmically, its color gradually changing.

Gretchen gazed at Langley before her, a paintbrush appearing in her hand. After closing her eyes and thinking for a moment, she casually swung it a few times, and several colorful, upright humanoid figures appeared.

If anyone were to pass by this place, they would surely feel that every creation within it exudes the oppressive aura of a 100,000-year-old soul beast.

"That should be enough..." Gretchen nodded. "Everyone, please protect Lang Lei!"

The Creators nodded and surrounded Lang Lei.
