Molten Knight

Unbreakable Douluo appeared beside Liuying in a flash. The moment he sensed something was wrong, he prepared to terminate the ritual immediately to ensure Liuying's safety.

After all, this was his first time encountering such a situation. As an awakening master, he was certain that Liuying's awakening was different from that of previous children, but he wasn't sure if it would lead to an accident.

Although Fire Phoenix Douluo and Luan Yu were unaware of how unique Liuying's awakening was, they couldn't follow Unbreakable Douluo's movements clearly.

Nevertheless, they remained alert and focused, watching Liuying without blinking.

As he moved closer, Unbreakable Douluo was shocked to see green veins spreading across Liuying's body, some even reaching her cheeks while others extended toward her limbs.

What kind of martial soul is this? Could it be an ontological martial soul?

Unbreakable Douluo had awakened the martial souls of thousands of children, yet this was the first time he had encountered such a phenomenon.

The only type of martial soul he had never personally witnessed before was an ontological martial soul.

This led him to speculate that Liuying's unusual situation might be due to possessing one. Of course, this was just a guess.

At that moment, faint fluctuations of soul power quietly emanated from Liuying's body.

The energy flowed out from her lower abdomen, the core where soul power is generated. As time passed, the fluctuations grew stronger, bringing a look of joy to both Unbreakable Douluo and Fire Phoenix Douluo.

This situation clearly indicated that Liuying's martial soul awakening was about to succeed.

Judging by the intensity of the soul power, her innate soul power was bound to be extraordinary.

Now, the only thing that remained a mystery was, what exactly was Liuying's martial soul?

Liuying subconsciously touched her abdomen, feeling the warm energy coursing through her body. A small smile formed at the corner of her lips. So this is soul power?

As the fluctuations of soul power intensified, the air around Liuying's body began to distort, and the temperature in the awakening room steadily rose.

Suddenly, a burst of green flames erupted from her body, completely enveloping her figure.

Feeling the intense heat, Unbreakable Douluo instinctively took a few steps back, his expression growing solemn. "Such powerful flames… Could I have been mistaken? Is she not an ontological martial soul, but rather a fire-element martial soul?"

Fire Phoenix Douluo clenched her fists, her body trembling slightly. However, she quickly suppressed the agitation of her Fire Phoenix Sword and turned her gaze toward Liuying, her eyes filled with shock.

She knew better than anyone that her Fire Phoenix Sword was a top-tier weapon martial soul. As a Soul Master, her flames did not prioritize extreme temperatures, but even so, she was still a Title Douluo.

Yet just now, she had felt an undeniable sense of sorrow from the Fire Phoenix Sword, an emotion of submission to a superior martial soul.

It was a sensation she had never experienced before.

Fire Phoenix Douluo didn't know for certain, but one thing was clear, Liuying's awakened martial soul was anything but ordinary.

Wrapped in flames, Liuying instinctively mobilized the unfamiliar power surging within her body.

In the next moment, her soul power spread throughout her entire being, dispersing the flames in an instant. But as the fire faded, Liuying's petite figure was nowhere to be seen.

Instead, standing in the center of the awakening room was a towering silver-white mecha.

Liuxing's pupils shrank in shock. What is this? Sam? How did Liuying transform?!

The silver-white mecha stood tall and imposing, red flames burning fiercely in its chest.

Though unmoving, it radiated an overwhelming sense of pressure that shook the hearts of Luan Yu and Unbreakable Douluo.

Fire Phoenix Douluo, however, was affected the most, her body trembled slightly, and she instinctively took two steps back.

Compared to the others, she could feel it more clearly.

Destruction… Annihilation… Burning all to ashes…

That was the sensation exuded by the silver-white mecha engulfed in red flames.

Her Fire Phoenix Sword martial soul trembled uncontrollably, and an unsettling realization struck her, if she were to fight against this martial soul, her combat strength would plummet by at least half.

"What… is this?" Unbreakable Douluo murmured in disbelief. "A martial soul? An armored martial soul? No… this is a humanoid soul tool?"

Today was truly an eye-opening experience for him. Martial souls on the Douluo Continent came in countless forms, but this was the first time he had ever seen one so similar to a soul tool.

For years, the Sun and Moon Empire had been researching humanoid soul tools, yet progress remained limited, largely due to suppression from the top Title Douluo of the original Three Empires.

As a result, the empire focused its efforts on enhancing soul masters' combat effectiveness through two primary means: the development of tenth-level soul tools and the pursuit of humanoid soul tools.

Yet, while neither a tenth-level soul tool nor a perfected humanoid soul tool had appeared thus far, what stood before him now was something beyond imagination, a humanoid soul tool martial soul.

This… is completely off-track.

Meanwhile, Liuxing quickly realized something else, Liuying had not actually transformed.

Sam was still asleep within her body.

This was her awakened martial soul.

As Liuying withdrew her martial soul possession, the little girl, who resembled a Liuying, gently landed on the ground.

Standing quietly in the awakening room, she turned to Liuxing and gave him a soft smile.

Liuxing responded with a thumbs-up, his heart filled with excitement. He could already sense the power awakening within his body.

As long as he willed it, he too could transform into a mecha like Liuying.

In this world, what boy doesn't love mechas?

He had long envied Liuying's Sam. If Sam hadn't been bound to her, he would have begged to borrow her transformation device just to experience it himself.

"That just now… was your martial soul? What's its name?"

Unbreakable Douluo couldn't wait any longer, he hurried over to Liuying, his eyes burning with curiosity. It wasn't that he had never seen a humanoid martial soul before, but a humanoid soul tool martial soul? This was an unprecedented first!

This was far rarer than even an ontological martial soul, a true first in the history of the Douluo Continent!

"Hmm! Yes, that was my martial soul. Let's call it… Molten Knight."

Liuying extended her right hand, and amidst flickering red flames, a silver-white mecha gauntlet materialized, encasing her small hand.

As she gazed at the fire dancing across her fingers, she became momentarily lost in thought.

"This is… partial martial soul possession?"

Unbreakable Douluo's pupils contracted slightly. She just awakened her martial soul, yet she can already achieve partial possession? Such refined control… such astonishing talent!

Liuxing immediately understood the significance of the name. Liuying had chosen Molten Knight to honor her fallen comrades.

In our world, the Molten Knight is already a legendary existence… and she is the last Molten Knight.

Liuxing stepped forward and gently took Liuying's small, soft hand, bringing her out of her daze. When she turned to him, she smiled softly once more.

"Molten Knight… That's a great name," Unbreakable Douluo praised with a smile before shifting his gaze to Liuxing. "Alright, little one, it's your turn now."

Unbreakable Douluo was still reeling from the shock of Liuying's awakening, but now he was eager to see what kind of martial soul this boy possessed.

Liuxing was stunned. "My turn? But… shouldn't we check her innate soul power level first?"

Hearing this, Unbreakable Douluo's smile widened. With a kind yet confident tone, he replied, "No need. When someone awakens their martial soul, I can determine their innate soul power with a single glance."

Luan Yu also smiled. "Liuying has full innate soul power. A Title Douluo isn't like those low-level soul masters; they don't need soul power crystals to test their innate soul power."

The corners of Liuxing's mouth twitched. The title Douluo really is amazing!

Yes, that's right, Title Douluo is amazing.

Liuxing stood dejectedly in front of Unbreakable Douluo, repeating the same experience that Liuying had just gone through.

Since his martial soul had already awakened alongside Liuying's, he wasn't nervous at all and remained composed.

With the eruption of a red flame, completely different from Liuying's green flame, Liuxing's body transformed into a silver-white mecha.

Like Liuying, his martial soul was a humanoid mecha, but there was a clear distinction: when Liuying's martial soul activated, it was enveloped in green flames, whereas Liuxing's burned red.

Additionally, Liuying's mecha was silver with hints of green, while Liuxing's was silver with hints of red.

This slight difference, was it because Liuying had the divinity of the Goddess of Life?

Or was it simply that Liuxing's version was the male counterpart while Liuying's was the female version?

"Sure enough, it's the same martial soul," Luan Yu remarked with an understanding smile.

Though the two children repeatedly insisted they weren't siblings, she found it hard to believe.

They looked so similar, their hair and eye colors matched, and even their names bore a striking resemblance.

And now, with their martial souls being identical, her suspicions felt even more justified.

Throughout the exchange, Fire Phoenix Douluo remained silent. Among those present, only she truly understood how extraordinary the twins' martial souls were.

To Luan Yu and Unbreakable Douluo, they may have seemed like mere top-tier martial souls with full innate soul power, but Fire Phoenix Douluo knew it was far more than that.

"Thank you, Unbreakable Douluo. I'll take these two children and leave now, there are others waiting in line," Fire Phoenix Douluo said, bidding farewell.

She didn't want Unbreakable Douluo to learn too much. Exceptional talent could bring great opportunities, but it could also attract dangerous attention.

For now, the two children were still too weak. Fortunately, only a select few could access the Awakening Palace's records, so there was little risk of their talents being publicly exposed in the short term.

And besides, pure top-level martial souls and full innate soul power alone wouldn't draw too much interest, after all, a genius who hasn't grown up is still nothing.

The humanoid mecha martial soul was simply too unique, it could easily attract the attention of soul masters specializing in humanoid soul guides.

However, with both her and Luan Yu's protection, those people wouldn't dare act recklessly.

Although Unbreakable Douluo was eager to study Liuxing and Liuying's martial souls further, he remained committed to his duties.

As the awakening master, he still had many others waiting for their martial soul awakening. Naturally, he wouldn't delay any longer, so he allowed Fire Phoenix Douluo to leave with the two children.

Noticing her sister's unsettled expression, Luan Yu quickly followed her out of the Awakening Palace. She got into Fire Phoenix Douluo's car, and together they headed toward her villa.
