Soul Land: Raiden Shogun Is My Martial Soul

"Boom..."

A thunderous rumble sounded as dark clouds gathered in the sky and thunder rolled.

"Which soul master is transcending the tribulation?"

"Judging by the power of this lightning, it must be a Soul Sect breaking through to the Soul King level!"

"What a formidable presence. As expected of a quasi-Soul King!"

Clear-sky thunderbolts had long become a common sight for the people of Douluo Continent.

Nowadays, people judged what level of soul master was transcending by the might of the lightning.

Their guess was right—the one transcending the tribulation at this moment was indeed a quasi-Soul King level expert.

"For soul masters on Douluo Continent, the heavenly tribulation is still too advanced."

Watching the fully prepared and heavily armored tribulation-taker, Kong smiled and spoke.

Soul masters were divided into Beast Soul Masters and Tool Soul Masters.

Beast Soul Masters had a natural advantage when transcending tribulation because their bodies were stronger, so they could withstand more powerful lightning tribulations.

Tool Soul Masters had most of their power in their martial souls. Their physical strength wasn't as good as Beast Soul Masters, but their martial souls could share some of the burden from the lightning tribulation.

Nowadays on Douluo Continent, whether Tool Soul Masters or Beast Soul Masters, they all valued not only soul power but also the strength of their own bodies.

Speaking of physical strength, it was impossible not to mention a type of soul master that was once ignored:

"Body Soul Masters!"

For Body Soul Masters, their martial soul was a part of their own body—or even themselves!

The reason body martial souls were ignored was simple.

How could a human body compare with tigers, wolves, and beasts?

Body martial souls weren't exactly useless, but compared to powerful beast martial souls, they were naturally overlooked.

Soul masters today didn't realize that the human body was actually a natural treasure trove!

If a body martial soul could achieve a second awakening, even the weakest bronze-grade could compete with top-tier martial souls!

That's the power of body martial souls!

"Hahaha!"

"I did it!"

"Who says body martial souls are useless!"

A soul master stared crazily at his own hands.

His martial soul was his very own hands.

Ever since his martial soul awakened, even though he possessed innate level-five soul power, no one ever thought much of him.

A body martial soul—just a pair of hands?

No strength, speed, defense, or claws like beast martial souls.

Not even sharpness or reach like tool martial souls...

Slightly better than a useless martial soul, but still little more than an afterthought.

Recalling the past, he let out a relieved smile.

"The heavenly tribulation that soul masters avoid is also a kind of opportunity!"

"If it weren't for the God King of Thunder, how could I ever..."

"Second Awakening!"

The Body Soul Master looked at his hands again. His skin had turned bronze, and the power-boost was tremendous. Although his soul power hadn't changed much, he could feel his overall strength had greatly improved.

After a long time, this soul master seemed to recall something and said, "I want to gather all the overlooked Body Soul Masters in the world!"

"Found the Body... Body Martial Hall!"

"I will pass down the secret of the body martial soul's second awakening!"

"Body martial souls are not useless!"

At that moment, a light yellow glow descended from the sky, landing steadily on his hands.

"???"

He stared blankly at the gem-like object in his hand.

"The... Eye of God!"

"I... I've been recognized by the God King of Thunder!"

"Du Sieren, thank you, God King of Thunder!"

Du Sieren never imagined he would be recognized by the God King of Thunder!

He even obtained an Eye of God...

What disappointed him, though, was that the Eye of God wasn't purple!

In the shadows, the corner of Kong's eye twitched. Could this person be the ancestor of the Du family brothers from ten thousand years later?

Du Bu Si, Du Bi Si.

Even Shrek Academy was wary of the strength of those two brothers!

He never expected that a Body Soul Master would use the heavenly tribulation to temper their body and achieve a second awakening.

Normally, the discovery of the body martial soul's second awakening would be at least five thousand years in the future, but now it had happened five thousand years early.

Kong glanced once more at this Du Si Ren, smiled, and stopped paying attention.

"Husband, dinner is ready!"

"Coming!"

The scene shifted to outside Heaven Dou City, at the headquarters of the Thunder God Temple.

By now, the Thunder God Temple could no longer be described as just a force—it had become a symbol.

Believers would come from time to time to pay homage.

"What? Tang San is actually in the Sunset Forest!"

Saint Asberding was completely stunned. The last time he was with the Yu Clan, he'd already tried to hunt Tang San down.

But he never found him!

He never imagined that Tang San was actually right next to Heaven Dou City, in the Sunset Forest!

"Asberding, is that the same fallen one you chased last time?"

"Yes, Tang San is the main culprit who tried to poison the Four Clans in the Yu Clan..."

A few months earlier, the Min Clan leader Bai He had come to the Thunder God Temple and shared his experience.

As expected, three saints and a group of jade-ranked fanatics followed him to the Yu Clan.

Saint Asberding happened to be waiting there, able to verify that Bai He was telling the truth.

Everyone started hunting Tang San, searching a radius of five hundred, even a thousand li!

Yet they found nothing unusual!

Tang San did not harm ordinary people, nor did he attack low-level soul masters.

This left Asberding and the others completely baffled.

They searched for Tang San for an entire month, but came up empty.

Afterwards, Spirit Hall contacted them about forming the Douluo Federation, so they had to put the hunt for Tang San on hold.

Even so, they never forgot about tracking him down.

After the Federation was formed, they had even more spies, but even then, they still didn't find any trace of Tang San.

So it turned out he'd been hiding in the Sunset Forest all along!

"Miss Wumei, are you sure that person was Tang San?"

Suddenly, Saint Asberding asked in a serious tone.

He hadn't expected Tang San to have already reached Soul Douluo level. As for why his soul rings were all ten-year rings...

Maybe this was the punishment given to Tang San by the Lord God King!

"Saint Asberding, yes, I'm sure it was Tang San. I have a personal grudge with him—even if he turned to ashes, I would recognize him."

"He has two martial souls. His left hand is Blue Silver Grass, and his right is the Clear Sky Hammer."

"At the time, I was leading the students to train in the Sunset Forest..."

"After gathering the students, I went alone into the depths of the forest to investigate."

"I was lucky. When I found Tang San, he was devouring and refining a ten-thousand-year soul beast..."

"Unfortunately, I wasn't strong enough, so he escaped."

Xiao Wu told the story of what happened in the Sunset Forest without hiding her hatred for Tang San.

Asberding and the others nodded...
