Over the past year, while living with Xie Yue and Hu Liena, Bai Wu had many dreams during her sleep. Yet, even in her wildest dreams, she never imagined that her child would awaken innate level 9 soul power. Innate level 9 signified Title Douluo potential. She was utterly dumbstruck.
"This... This... Nana, you are a genius! Your future is boundless!" Bai Wu trembled with excitement. Hu Liena felt the same way.
Her first thought was to share this joy with her brother. She immediately hugged him. "Brother~ Am I really a genius?" she asked, her voice filled with expectation. It wasn't Bai Wu's acknowledgment she sought, but Xie Yue's. Only when her brother confirmed it would she truly believe in her own talent.
"Yes, yes! What Mom said is true. My little Nana is really a genius~ And in the future, you have to protect me well. I'll be depending on you. Hehe," Xie Yue replied as he hugged her back. But in his mind, many thoughts raced. No one knew what he was planning.
"Hehe, I'm really a genius~ Yes, brother. Now that I have the power, it's my duty to protect you from all harm. I will safeguard you with my life!" she declared cutely. There was resolution, firmness, and even obsession in her eyes. 'In the past, my brother protected me. From now on, it's my turn to protect him. I must do my duty properly. I can't disappoint my brother,' Hu Liena thought, her eyes shining with determination. She hugged him even tighter.
"Little Nana, don't forget your mother too... You also have to protect me! Haha. But aside from that, it's time for your brother to awaken. You have to loosen your hug," Bai Wu said, having finally calmed down from the shock Hu Liena had given her.
"Yeah~" Hu Liena let go reluctantly.
"Moon baby, come here and stand there... Mommy will help you awaken," Bai Wu called. Xie Yue stood at the center of the formation, his face full of excitement. "Mom, awaken me faster! I can't wait to see my martial soul," he urged impatiently.
"Yes, yes!" Bai Wu laughed, then focused. Six streams of soul power poured into the six black stones. Golden light began to shine in the formation, gathering toward Xie Yue's body.
"Raise your left hand," Bai Wu instructed, watching him with anticipation. ,'The amount of golden light gathering toward him is the same as Nana's...' She was thrilled by the possibility but held back her excitement, waiting for the results.
Xie Yue subconsciously raised his right hand. In his palm, two moon blades appeared. They weren't a single weapon but a pair—crescent-shaped, blood-red with silver edges, and covered in intricate black carvings.
When he opened his eyes and saw his martial soul, Xie Yue's expression changed. For the first time, true joy appeared on his face. Yes... he was genuinely happy. But it wasn't just because of his martial soul awakening. No—there was something else, something only he knew.
'I didn't expect this... I really didn't expect this…' His thoughts churned. 'I was quite lucky! But even so, nothing changes. I still have to go through the same process. This sudden surprise doesn't provide immediate help. I have some ideas on how to use it efficiently, but I need to plan carefully to avoid delays.'
After assessing that this change wouldn't disrupt his overall plans, he stopped thinking about it.
"Mom, my martial soul is called Moon Blade. I like it very much~" he exclaimed, jumping up and down in excitement. Hu Liena, seeing him so happy, ran over and joined in the fun. But inwardly, Xie Yue sighed. Acting cute is so exhausting.
"Cutie... Yes, your martial soul looks really powerful. Come and check your innate soul power," Bai Wu urged, unable to hide her excitement.

AN: Xie Yue's second golden finger is similar to one of Huo Yuhao's. Can you guess what it is? And it is not an unreasonable golden finger; it still fits within the scope of Douluo's settings.
AN: Xie Yue's martial soul is two moon blades. This is clearly mentioned in the original book (Chapter 126).
