NOVEL NEXT Chapter 22: Awakening
Today is the awakening ceremony of my little sister. Everyone was there to witness it, as it was also a special occasion—the plan of revealing of two Title Douluo in the family would be announced to the members. It has been six years since the Haotian twins' names started circulating again, following the announcements of them becoming Contra and the marriage of Tang Hao. Aunt Lu Erlong has also reconnected with Flender and Zhao Wuji, inviting them to join the family. Although they declined, stating they did not want to be bound to any force, I respect their decision. After all, our family now boasts more Title Douluo than some families' Contra-level powerhouses. In a few months, I will be officially announced as the patriarch by the family, though I am already fulfilling the role. Additionally, I am planning to bring past family members back into the world by constructing bodies for them. They mentioned that they are souls separated from their original bodies, but the system informed me that the artifact we possess absorbs surrounding souls and soul power, keeping the souls functional without letting them become remnant souls. Essentially, it acts as a recuperating chamber for soul collection and preservation. Since it is located in our clan's cemetery, I believe it has absorbed the full souls of our ancestors and is preserving them. I will be working on this project diligently.
After contemplating for a long time, I felt relieved that this world is not exactly like Douluo. There are changes in this world, except for the main plot. For instance, the Blue Tyrant Sect now has three Title Douluo, the Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda has two Title Douluo, and Ning Fengzi's wife is a level 89 Contra with a high chance of becoming a Title Douluo. Her martial soul is a Fire Sword. Additionally, Spirit Hall has around 20 Title Douluo, with 12 of them below level 94. Although I suspect there may be more, my clan has more Title Douluo, with the least powerful being a level 92 Title Douluo with a red spirit ring. I am also integrating the Nine Heart Flowering Apple into our core family. We successfully merged with their family, and their knowledge of healing combined with our poison knowledge has created a formidable medicine inheritance. With the help of spirit herbs, I have also resolved their issues. Now, their family has three members with Nine Heart Flowering Apple as their martial soul.
As I was deep in thought, my mother called me. I moved towards the dining hall, and my little sister approached me, asking, "Brother, will you also come to the ceremony?" I have raised my little sister well, using a carrot and stick method to make her a good girl, unlike Ning Rongrong. Despite facing criticism from various elders and even some Title Douluo elders who came to confront me after seeing her run in the rain for two hours, the situation was resolved. I replied, "Yes, now you have to work harder to become powerful and smart." She asked, "Like mother?" I responded, "Yes, like mother." I handed her a candy, and she was delighted, as candy given by me holds special value in her eyes. We then had our meal. My little sister went with our aunt and mother for preparation, while I, along with my father and grandfather, headed to the ceremony hall. This time, I will be present in the awakening chamber for the first time as an awakening elder.
Little Sister's POV
As I stood in line for spirit awakening with the others, I observed that all my brothers and sisters were awakening their martial souls, with the least having level 7 martial soul power. I was behind Dugu Xin. After some time, his turn came. He went in and came out with a beaming smile. Curious, I asked him why he was so happy. He revealed that he had awakened the Poison Dragon martial soul and had level 10 soul power. I was thrilled for him, as he was like a brother to me. Then, my turn came. I entered the chamber, where all seven elders, my brother, my father, and my grandpa were present. "Walk towards the crystal," one of the elders instructed. I walked towards the martial soul awakening crystal. They asked me to place my hand on it.
