Douluo:Starting from the Young Master of Clear Sky Sect

"Ghost God, Rakshasa?!"

Only then did Tang San realize why this city was called Ghost City. It was named Ghost City and Ghost Tower because of its worship of the Ghost God, while Slaughter City worshipped the God of Slaughter, Asura.

After speaking, Hongyan couldn't help but sigh and said, "This is the origin of your Martial Soul."

Tang San looked at the Martial Soul emblem on the back of his hand and murmured, "Rakshasa Martial Soul... So my Martial Soul is Rakshasa, not the Slaughter Martial Soul."

Hongyan smiled and said, "You could say it's the Slaughter Martial Soul too. There's a connection between the Asura God and the Rakshasa God. Both were born from the ancient faith of slaughter. As you can see from the Slaughter Arena in Slaughter City, the Asura God represents constant battle and endless slaughter, cutting down all obstacles in its path. The more it kills, the stronger it becomes—cultivating the path of slaughter."

"On the other hand, Rakshasa symbolizes the control and absorption of the lingering resentment and negative emotions from death. It not only absorbs the life force of creatures but can also absorb their killing intent. Massive death naturally accompanies slaughter, so the two gods share the same origin but have distinct differences. This is the fundamental reason that led to the war between the two gods."

Tang San now understood why two powerhouses who had already broken through level 100 would ultimately wage war—their ideologies were not just different but conflicting.

"Then, Mother, does my Rakshasa Martial Soul require a special ceremony to fully awaken?" Tang San returned to the main topic. He had come to awaken his second Martial Soul, and it was clear that his Rakshasa Martial Soul had not yet completed its awakening. Right now, it was just a mark and couldn't even be called a Martial Soul.

Hongyan nodded. "That's right. You should know that Spirit Hall worships the Angel God and possesses the Angel Martial Soul, correct?"

Tang San nodded. This was common knowledge across the continent—the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul.

"Their Angel Martial Soul also requires a special awakening ceremony, and the ceremony can grant an additional ten levels of Soul Power to the Soul Master with the Angel Martial Soul."

Tang San was shocked. "An additional ten levels?! Then all Angel Martial Soul users must have Innate Full Spirit Power!"

Hongyan chuckled. "Not just Innate Full Spirit Power. If a Soul Master with the Angel Martial Soul is born with ten levels of Soul Power, combined with the Angel Ceremony, the highest innate Soul Power for an Angel Martial Soul user can reach twenty levels."

!!!!!

"Six years old, twenty levels?!" This was the first time Tang San had heard this secret. No wonder Pope Qian Xun Ji was once hailed as the fastest-cultivating Soul Master, breaking the record for the youngest Titled Douluo at fifty years old—though that record was later surpassed by his father, who became a Titled Douluo at forty-three.

So their Angel Martial Soul could cheat, granting an extra ten levels of Soul Power. No wonder they progressed so quickly.

Tang San asked, "Mother, what about our Rakshasa Martial Soul?"

Hongyan pinched Tang San's cheek with her jade-like hand and smiled. "Of course, it can."

Hiss! Tang San's heart leaped with joy. No amount of hard work could compare to being born with advantages.

A father from the Clear Sky Sect, a mother from the Rakshasa lineage—I'm set for life.

Hongyan continued, "However, your Soul Power isn't at level zero now, so the boost from the awakening ceremony probably won't be ten levels. But reaching level thirty shouldn't be a problem."

Naturally, each level of Soul Power is stronger than the last. Awakening a Martial Soul and immediately reaching level thirty—this unexpected boon was more than enough.

Seeing her son's excited expression, Hongyan said, "Son, the ten levels granted by the awakening ceremony are just an appetizer from the Rakshasa Martial Soul. Every god has their own unique Inheritance Trial, and passing these trials brings unexpected benefits. Even members of our clan who haven't awakened the Rakshasa Martial Soul can enjoy the rewards of the Inheritance Trial."

Tang San wasn't surprised by this Inheritance Trial, as the Clear Sky Sect had one too.

The Clear Sky Sect's Inheritance Trial was the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique. This technique consisted of eighty-one strikes, with every nine strikes requiring terrifying amounts of physical stamina. Therefore, the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique was divided into nine levels by the Clear Sky Sect. Each breakthrough represented a physical transformation, with the benefits being self-evident.

Moreover, if one could achieve the state of "eighty-one strikes returning to one" in the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, they could then cultivate even more profound Soul Skills. As for what those Soul Skills were, even Tang San didn't know. One had to truly reach that realm to be told, lest disciples become too eager and risk qi deviation.

As if reading her son's thoughts, Hongyan continued, "A god's trial is completely different from your Clear Sky Sect's. Passing the trial grants genuine divine gifts—real, tangible rewards. It might be an increase in Soul Power, the granting of a Soul Ring, an enhancement of physical constitution, or even the bestowal of divine weapons."

Hearing this, Tang San was stunned. What? These trials weren't just intensive training under the guise of a test? They actually gave rewards! No wonder Qian Xun Ji cultivated so quickly—he literally had divine assistance. Wait, then how did his father break records? Did he surpass a god?!

Tang San thought of something and looked at the shattered, featureless stone statue. He asked, "But Mother, hasn't the Rakshasa God fallen?"

If the Rakshasa God was dead, could he still leave behind his power and legacy like other gods?

This question clearly hit the mark. Hongyan fell silent for a moment before shaking her head. "Gods never truly die. Though the Rakshasa God has fallen and his consciousness has perished, his divine power hasn't disappeared. It was merely scattered by the Asura God and merged with the world's Soul Power. Through special methods, one can resonate with the Rakshasa God's divine power, activate the trial, and receive its rewards."

"However, since the Rakshasa God has indeed fallen, even as the current Rakshasa Woman, I can only activate two trials, and the rewards are rather ordinary."

Seeing the shattered statue, Tang San understood that the Rakshasa God's legacy couldn't possibly be as complete as others'.

Tang San asked, "Mother, is the Asura God's mission to find a successor also tied to completing his trial?"

Ghost City had its Ghost Tower, the Rakshasa God's statue, and a legacy site. Similarly, Slaughter City had the Road to Hell and the Asura God. Not only was his legacy intact, but he genuinely bestowed the God of Slaughter Domain. Surely there must be something, right?

"I don't know. I originally thought the condition to activate the Asura God's trial was obtaining the God of Slaughter Domain, but your father never received the Asura God's trial." This was something Hongyan couldn't understand. By all logic, Tang Hao should have activated the Asura God's trial, yet he received nothing. She had no idea what went wrong.

"Son, the reason I named you 'San' (Three) is because I want you to become this world's third god and lead us out of this cage."

In truth, there was no need to say it—only a god could undo a divine seal.

Hongyan led Tang San before the stone statue, her beautiful eyes resting on her son as she said, "Twin Spirits—this talent has been exceedingly rare since ancient times. It holds the potential to create all possibilities."

Piercing her finger, she let her blood seep into the cracks of the stone statue and declared, "With the blood of Rakshasa, I summon the Gate of the Nine Abyss—Martial Soul, awaken!"
