--- Chapter 173 ---
'What should I do then?' Han Yuan fell into a deep thought. Honestly, he didn't expect this to happen. Yes, he underestimates the pickiness of the Clear Sky Ant King.
Then, again, the Clear Sky Ant King never hides its nature.
Han Yuan should have recognized this sooner. Even the forbidden Spirit Soul, such as the Heavenly Horned Ant, barely meets the Clear Sky Ant King's criteria for becoming a contracted Spirit Soul.
The Heavenly Horned Ant is already considered one of the strongest in terms of quality, bloodline, and talent.
When it despises Di Yating's power, it really means it.
Tch, what a cheeky little fucker!
"Should I use the Formless Cloud martial soul?" Han Yuan mumbled to himself. "But the Formless Cloud was a half-formed martial soul, and there might be a complication if I tried to contract Di Yating with it."
On the other hand, after releasing an arrogant roar, the Clear Sky Ant King harrumphed and returned to Han Yuan's body. The surroundings returned to normal, but Di Yating and the golden flame were quite traumatized.
Han Yuan put on a wry smile, "Sorry for that."
"It seemed we had to take an alternative route, Di Yating."
"As you can see, my second martial soul was a bit picky when it comes to the contracted Spirit Soul. Even my first contracted Spirit Soul barely met its standards."
Di Yating looked at Han Yuan solemnly, "It's okay. I understand."
Although Di Yating hated to admit it, the sheer presence of the Clear Sky Ant King really gave her the feeling of facing her parents at their prime, even with a hint of Dragon God.
And it's not just a simple bloodline suppression, but a dimensional one, as if she were a small creature before the black ant.
Thinking about it, Di Yating felt it was ridiculous.
How could a mere ant overshadow a dragon?
But that's the truth!
Even now, Di Yating still felt her heart was trembling in anguish.
The golden flame sighed, "I know your martial souls are abnormal ones, but this exceeded my expectations."
"Even the God-level martial souls don't have such presence."
"However, it seems you're running into trouble, Han Yuan."
Han Yuan shrugged, "Besides Clear Sky Ant King and the Purple Silver Grass, the only free martial soul that can contract Di Yating was my half-formed martial soul."
"As it suggested, this half-formed martial soul is just a formless cloud of origins."
"But since it can coexist with my Purple Silver Grass and Clear Sky Ant King, it can't be ordinary."
"So, let alone contracting Di Yating, I'm afraid the formless cloud martial soul won't even become a proper martial soul without enough force and stimulant."
"I see..." The golden flame nodded in understanding. "Indeed, it was quite a problem."
"I mean, you can just seal the dragon away, and wait..."
"Hey!" Di Yating was displeased, baring its fangs at the golden flame.
"Well, I knew she wouldn't accept that, so..." The golden flame continued casually. "What about I awaken a 'body' martial soul for you?"
"You can do that?" Han Yuan narrowed his eyes, looking surprised.
Di Yating snorted, "Don't let this brat fool you. The 'body' martial soul is a blessing that every human should possess. Regardless, due to the mixed bloodline and origins, 99,99% of you are awakened beast and tool spirits."
"So, the 'body' martial soul is the original, primitive martial soul a human should possess upon awakening."
"It might be weak at first, but since it was your blessing, this martial soul of humanity is capable of evolving."
"With enough pressure, the body's martial soul could even rival a God-level martial soul and true dragon, though this rarely happens."
"Even back then, the Dragon Clan only recorded two humans with such a physique. Unfortunately, neither of them reached God-level..."
"Is there such a history?" Han Yuan mumbled.
"Of course there is!" The golden flame proudly puffed its body.
"Do you think humanity just started 10,000 years ago? No, even when the Dragon Clan reigned over the Douluo Planet and made it their homeland, some humans can build their civilization and grow strong."
"Although weak, they are not to be underestimated."
"As the plane's consciousness, I have the very authority to bring out one's potential, whether it is humans or spirit beasts, and awaken their latent power."
"For humans, I could awaken their 'body' martial soul or bloodline. As for spirit beasts, I can awaken their bloodline and ancestral memory."
Han Yuan pondered briefly, "Okay, let's do it."
"Awaken my 'body' martial soul."
"I wanted to see how you do it."
The golden flame patted its body, "Hehe, very well."
"Leave it to me."
Under Han Yuan's Eyes of Truth, the plane's consciousness surrounded his body with a golden flame, infusing him with pure energy. The intense heat caused his body to feel as if it were boiling. Soon after, the extreme heat transformed into extreme cold, which changed again into an eerie purple light a second later, followed by a vibrant emerald light. There is even a strong draconic aura coming from his body. At last, golden purple electricity ran through his body.
"What is this?" Di Yating was confused. She has seen many 'body' martial souls, but Han Yuan's is weird.
What's with this phenomenon?
The plane's consciousness had the same reaction. Although it inherited the memory of the previous consciousness, something like this had never happened before.
While others were confused, Han Yuan understood. The phenomena they were experiencing were 'likely' connected to the unique physique he had cultivated. He had developed six different physiques, each associated with the elements of ice, fire, poison, dragon, and thunder.
The plane's consciousness had the power to awaken a person's martial soul and unlock their potential. For Han Yuan, who had trained his body to an extraordinary level from a young age, this opportunity felt like riding a rocket to greatness.
All of his accumulated training quickly coalesced, allowing him to awaken a 'body' martial soul that encompassed numerous attributes and powers—an unprecedented wonder for a 'body' martial soul.
The first of its kind!
Thump! Thump!
A heart's beating noise permeates the space.
Han Yuan's body is glowing with a jet-black aura as the hidden potential bursts out at once. His black hair became white-silver, and his silver eyes gained a demonic purple tint. Two jet-black feather wings grew on his body, one on his right shoulder and the other on his lower left back.
The sky above darkened, a storm rumbled loudly, and the earth roared with booming lava, welcoming the arrival of this majesty.
Han Yuan blinked for a few seconds, clenched his hands, and looked up at the storm. "Disappear." He whispered, which led to the storm to vanish as if nothing had happened.
[Ding!]
[Congratulations, Task Master]
[You have awakened "Heavenly Demon's Body" martial soul]
[Heavenly Demon is an existence that defies nature and law; their mere presence is an anomaly in any world. They can adapt, empower, and destroy anything on their path!]
[Unfortunately, due to the Douluo Dalu's limit ceiling, the Heavenly Demon could only progress using the Spirit Master's system, thus giving birth to the "Heavenly Demon's Body" martial soul]
[Once you reach level 100, the Heavenly Demon's full potential will truly shine]
[Ding! You have awakened Demonic Power]
[Ding! You have awakened Heavenly Demon's Domain-Failed!]
[Warning! Due to the insufficient energy, you have failed to awaken the Heavenly Demon's Domain.]
[Please absorb a spirit ring with the Heavenly Demon's Body, preferably a 100,000-year-old one or above]
Han Yuan could feel a new energy surging in his body, which could merge with many of his other energies, spirit energy, mental power, and even his bioelectricity, enhancing their effectiveness and strength twice, and still growing.
It was a pleasant feeling, almost making Han Yuan drunk with power.
Fortunately, Han Yuan's mental fortitude won't allow him to be too complacent.
So, he gets out of this addictive sensation really quickly.
Han Yuan stared at Di Yating, "Let's do it."
"The contract."
