In a place called the Douluo Continent, there exists an empire known as the Tiandou Empire. It is ruled by a king named Xue Feng. He is an individual who has transmigrated into the Douluo world. In his previous life, he was a young Nobel Prize-winning scientist. However, due to an illness, he had to leave that world. Nevertheless, he was given another chance at life in the world known as the Douluo Continent.
Throughout his journey in this new world, Xue Feng experienced many bitter and sweet love stories. He has two wives who have filled various chapters of his life.
Xue Feng appears to be a man in his 20s, despite being closer to 40 years old. He has short black hair styled in a neat slick-back and bright blue eyes. A look commonly found on Earth but considered unique to the inhabitants of Douluo.
He stood in a grand and spacious building surrounded by a crowd of people. To his right stood a beautiful woman, Xue Feng's first wife. She had fair skin and perfect features. She exuded a noble aura that made anyone hesitant to approach her beauty.
Her name is Bibi Dong, the first prime minister of the Tiandou Empire that had implemented a constitutional monarchy system.
To Xue Feng's left stood another beautiful woman, his second wife. The charming woman appeared to be in her thirties with delicate facial features. Her body radiated a thick feminine aura that could seduce thousands of men.
Her name is Liu Erlong. As Xue Feng's second wife, she serves as the headmistress of the Tiandou Noble Academy.
The three of them stood watching their two sons line up among the other participants. Typically, the high-ranking officials of the Tiandou Empire would not attend such events. Their children would be awakened privately.
However, after hearing that the children of three legendary 99th-level Soul Masters would awaken their martial spirits publicly, various parties came to witness the event. Those with daughters who were about to awaken their spirits were also sent to form relationships with Xue Feng's sons.
Amidst the crowd of people with various thoughts and ideas in their minds, a Soul Master's voice suddenly rang out in everyone's ears.
When people saw the figure who would awaken the participants' martial spirits, the audience was shocked. One of the attendees was the leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi, along with one of his elders who held the title Douluo, Chen Xin.
"The Tiandou royal family truly surprises me. I didn't expect them to actually get Dugu Bo to do such a trivial task."
Chen Xin, the Sword Douluo, nodded in agreement with Ning Fengzhi's statement.
"Even for a Soul Hall it seems no one would be willing to do it."
The statement made by the two had a reason. Those with the title of Douluo were arrogant existences with high self-esteem. Being willing to do menial tasks like awakening martial spirits might damage the image of a Douluo.
"But it's not surprising. After all, to them, Dugu Bo is just a small snake among their dragons. Perhaps Dugu Bo can't do anything when facing them."
Ning Fengzhi's words made Chen Xin think that Ning Fengzhi wanted to express another meaning.
"Fengzhi are you thinking of giving up to the royal family?"
Ning Fengzhi then looked at Chen Xin and asked:
"Sword Uncle what do you think?"
Chen Xin looked at Ning Fengzhi for a while and then looked away. As a Douluo, he would never admit that someone was stronger than him. This was not just because of the title but also the life experiences he had as a sword practitioner. Seeing that Chen Xin did not answer, Ning Fengzhi remained silent and continued watching the spirit awakening ceremony.
By now, several participants had already awakened their martial spirits. The event continued, and Dugu Bo called the next participant.
"Participant Huo Wu, please come forward!"
A red-haired girl named Huo Wu walked towards Dugu Bo and looked at him nervously. Dugu Bo didn't pay much attention and threw several stones that magically floated around Huo Wu.
"Try to feel your martial spirit."
Soon, Huo Wu's martial spirit appeared. Dugu Bo simply nodded when he saw Huo Wu's martial spirit.
"Martial spirit: Shadow Fire."
He took a crystal ball from the table beside him.
"Put your hand here."
Huo Wu put her hand on the crystal ball. Suddenly, the crystal ball shone brightly.
"Huo Wu, eight-spirit power."
When people heard Huo Wu's spirit power, many were amazed. Huo Wu then walked back, but this time with a happy face. She ran towards a blond-haired man wearing a red shirt. He was Huo Wushuang, Huo Wu's older brother.
Coincidentally, there were two men standing beside them. One had pink hair and the other had black hair. Yes, they were both Xue Feng's sons. Xue Lan was his son with Bibi Dong. And Xue Lin was his son with Liu Erlong.
And among them was a purple-haired girl named Dugu Yan, the granddaughter of Dugu Bo. Then there was a blonde-haired girl named Hu Liena, a disciple of Bibi Dong. And beside them stood a silver-haired boy with red tips, Xie Yue, Hu Liena's brother. The five of them had been friends since childhood.
"Brother if I awaken my full spirit power will you give me a hug?"
Xue Lan hearing Xue Lin's question, looked at his younger sibling strangely.
"I'm sorry Xiao Lin your brother likes girls not boys."
Hearing his brother's answer, Xue Lin immediately got annoyed and hit Xue Lan's shoulder but Xue Lan just let it be.
"That's not what I meant..."
Xue Lan just stayed silent laughing at his younger brother.
"Brother Xue Lan will you hug me if I'm talented?"
And from the side, Hu Liena hugged Xue Lan's arm. Although Hu Liena was only 6 years old, her aura as a woman could already tempt boys her age.
Xue Lan, who was being teased by Hu Liena, seemed untempted. He even immediately wrapped his arm around Hu Liena's waist and hugged her.
"Nana you don't need to be talented just to get my hug you know."
"Oh, Brother Xue Lan~"
"Nana~"
Suddenly, Dugu Yan approached them and pulled Xue Lan away from Hu Liena.
"Enough! Don't you know this is a public place?!"
Hu Liena just smiled and said:
"Dugu Yan I think you're just jealous because you can't be hugged by Brother Xue Lan."
"Hah! No one wants a hug from a hooligan like him!"
Meanwhile Xue Lan whose hand was held by Dugu Yan just smiled watching the two girls bicker.
"If you don't want a hooligan like Brother Xue Lan just give him to me."
Hu Liena also hugged Xue Lan's arm, making Dugu Yan feel annoyed and turned her attention to Xie Yue.
"Xie Yue! Aren't you worried that your sister will be kidnapped by a hooligan like Xue Lan?"
"As far as I know Nana is the one who asked for it. I'm not someone who is unreasonable so I won't be angry about this."
Xie Yue gave a meaningful smile to Hu Liena which was answered with a smile as well as if the two siblings were having a silent conversation.
"You two!"
Before Dugu Yan could explode in anger, Xue Lin came to mediate them.
"Enough! We're about to do the spirit awakening ritual. Please calm down a little."
Xue Lin's voice sounded tired as he scolded them. But suddenly, Dugu Bo's voice rang in their ears.
"Participant Xue Lan please come forward."
Xue Lan then broke away from the embrace of the two women beside him and ran while waving at them
"I'm going now!"
When he walked towards Dugu Bo, it can be seen that all the attention in the room is all go towards him. But Xue Lan with full confidence just walk normally with smile in his face. When he stand right in front of Dugu Bo, he greet him with a smile.
"Good morning Grandpa Dugu how are you today?"
Dugu Bo returned Xue Lan's greeting with a smile and respect.
"Good morning Prince Xue Lan. Are you ready to awaken your martial spirit?"
"Yes I'm ready Grandpa Dugu!!"
Dugu Bo then repeated the previous ritual he had done with Huo Wu, where the stones floated around Xue Lan. And something amazing happened that shocked everyone who witnessed it. Even Xue Feng and his two wives were not exempt from that expression.
"T-this!!!"
