Inside the awakening room an elderly soulmaster waited to help Shuang Chen awakened his martial soul, Shuang Jian stood outside the formation on the room and waited patiently, she simply nodded to her son for reassurance and he nodded in return, although he was only six years old he had a mature temperament he simply responded to the elder soulmaster's questions as honestly as possible and waited to have his martial soul awakened, suddenly the old man stimulated his own martial soul and blue silver vines appeared around him, similarly soul rings appeared beneath him one after the other, he had a total of five soul rings with a combination of two yellow and three purple,
This old man was already a soul king level powerhouse, as his soul power filled the room the formation beneath them drank in this soul power and activated instantly, it channeled this energy into the body of Shuang Chen who was already sitting in a meditative posture at the center of the room, the soul power penetrated his body but to the old man's surprise the resistance that was supposed to be there was nowhere to be seen,
Kids that came for the awakening process would need to have their meridians mapped out and their blood vessels cleared of impurities just so they could channel soul power through their bodies and stimulate the martial soul to awaken, but to his surprise Shuang Chen had already unlocked eight of his twelve meridians, one must know that only three meridians were required for the martial soul to awaken, and although the old man was already a soul king, he had just recently unlocked his twelfth meridian,
It was also rare to have a fifth ring soul king with twelve meridians as most soul king only had eight meridians, twelve meridians were only required for someone to break through the seventh ring, but even beyond that the boy's blood vessels had already been cleared and tempered, this wasn't the physique of a young boy yet to awaken his martial soul, it was the physique of a soulmaster of at least five rings, in short the boy's body was more than ready for his martial soul,
One must know that this kind of conditioning wasn't something an ordinary human adult can withstand, for this boy to have this kind of body he must have undergone severe physical conditioning, and even then it was a miracle that he had survived it, this was beyond unexpected, the old man's soul force traversed the boy's body until it arrived in his dantian and the dantian was established, this process was normally slightly painful for young children however to this boy it was probably nothing,
Soul power flowed through the boy's body and five minutes later there was a pop, as the martial soul suddenly took form, as everyone watched, soul power left the boy's body and ascended to the space above his head and as it ascended it started forming a familiar sword array, seeing the array, a smile appeared at the edges of Shuang Jian's mouth, she had long known that his martial soul would be a sword but she was wondering which of her two swords he would inherit or even if he would inherit any of the two,
In a situation of two rival martial souls there was a possibility of a mutation appearing, with luck it would be a positive mutation, strengthening the two martial souls into one powerful martial soul but there was also a possibility of a negative mutation producing a defective martial soul, but as the sword array finished taking form, the tip of a sword started coming out and descended, as this sword descended the energy of heaven and earth in the room gathered to the sword array as if to welcome the descent of this mighty weapon,
As this happened even Shuang Jian was surprised, she had awakened twin martial souls and full innate soul power but even then this scene never happened for her, this scene only happened during the manifestation of the God sword also known as the ruler of all sword martial souls, could it be that she was mistaken and her son had indeed awakened the god sword, could it be that he had a positive mutation,
As the sword blade appeared she started believing that her assumption had been right, the sword array she had seen was that of the Seven Kill sword, however the seven kill sword had a crystal blue body, the body of the word that appeared although shining like crystal, was actually made of snow white jade, even the seven star sword didn't have this appearance, but as the sword fully appeared she was in for another surprise, the sword wasn't as wide as the regular seven kill sword, instead it had the size of the seven star sword, but the sword's appearance was that of the seven kill sword despite the fact that it was made of white jade material instead of crystal blue material,
Along the sword's body were seven rhomboid crystals just like the seven kill sword is supposed to have however the Crystal's weren't plain white like an infant seven kill sword but rather they were crystal blue, the sword then had a blue gold crystal jade handle that wasn't the handle of a seven kill sword but rather the handle of the seven star sword, the sword had mutated alright, it had fused the attributes of both the seven kill sword and the seven star sword,
After thinking clearly she summarized that this was no longer the seven star sword or even the seven kill sword but rather the fusion of both swords, it was now the seven stars killing sword. This would be its first manifestation in history and it was all because of that guy, otherwise her power alone wouldn't be enough to fuse the two swords, thinking of that man sorrow filled her heart, she wondered when or even if he would ever get to see him again after what happened,
At that moment she looked up as the old man asked whether she would like to test soul power and have it registered in the spirit pagoda, although she wanted to keep Shuang Chen as secret as possible, she suddenly thought of something and chose to let him be awakened so she agreed and the old man brought out a soul power tester,
One would think her worry should be whether or not she is worried he would have soul power but for some reason she didn't even seem to think that was a possibility,
As the test was started, soul force rose through Shuang Chen's body and soon enough there were fluctuations on the tester, they rose slowly from 1 rising at a slow but steady speed all the way, when it reached rank 5 the old man was pleased, even if it stopped here, this child would have a brighter future than him, this at least proved that he would reach the peak of the fifth ring,
But to their surprise the soul force kept rising until it reached rank 7, here it seemed to stop moving, after it reached the peak of the seventh rank it attempted to enter rank 8 but for some unknown reason it couldn't make the leap so it stabilized at rank 7, but the peak of rank 7. As such his innate soul force rose to rank 7. Shuang Jian wasn't actually surprised as this was a common appearance for the seven kill sword and the seven star sword, the most talented among them always stopped at the seventh rank innate soul force, it was like the highest they could go,
The only reason she surpassed it and rose to rank 10 was because she had twin martial souls and her innate soul power was aggregated so it surpassed the seventh rank all the way to the 10th and that was only because rank 10 was the limit, the old man was pleased and he took the notes down, he then offered a recommendation letter to Shuang Chen to join the Tiandou junior soul master academy where he could start studies the next day.
On their return home though, his mother did not head home directly but passed by the auction house, Shuang Jian purchased a few rare herbs that Shuang Chen didn't understand or even recognize, after buying them she returned home, that evening she taught him how to cultivate soul power using the bet cultivation method available, Xuan Tian Gong. After it was made public it wasn't a problem for parents to teach it to their kids like it was in the past,
Shuang Chen's comprehension was also superb as it only took him about three hours to master the Xuan Tian Gong, he started cultivating it and he could feel his soul power condensing in his dantian, after he had reached the best state his mother have him some elixir to drink, she had formed this elixir out of the herbs and treasures she had bought and after mixing it, the elixir had a purplish red color with streaks of gold passing through every one and them as it brothed.
Despite the fact that there was no heat below it and the container was cold, the elixir inside was churning, his mother asked him to drink it and since he fully trusted his mother he simply followed her directions and drank it, as it went down his throat there was no heat or cold, despite its churning before it was a normal temperature, it also tasted funny but not the bad kind of funny. However as it entered his body he could feel the blood in his body get agitated and start boiling, apparently his blood wanted this elixir,
