DD2—Chapter 218: Gold Level Second Awakening
Suddenly, a crisp sword sound rang out.
Xiao Hongchen looked at the trembling sword in Ji Juechen's hand. He knew that Ji Juechen's martial soul was just a very ordinary sword martial soul. To sharpen his martial soul, Ji Juechen chose to infuse his martial soul into the sword.
Therefore, the sword in Ji Juechen's hand is essentially a combination of his martial soul and a meteorite longsword.
Meteorite is a rare metal that is very suitable for making soul guidance devices. Ji Juechen used this sword to make a name for himself at the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy.
But this longsword made of meteorite iron from outer space was shaking more and more, as if it couldn't contain the martial soul inside. Crackling, spider-web-like patterns appeared on the sword. Suddenly, a large number of metal fragments splashed out and fell onto the deck, making a clacking sound.
A simple giant sword about two meters long and half a foot wide appeared in front of Ji Juechen.
Xiao Hongchen was a little stunned. He looked at the sword and felt it was familiar. As the grandson of the Head of Illustrious Virtue Hall, he received a good education and knew many martial souls on the Douluo Continent. However, for a moment, he couldn't recognize what this martial soul was.
'I must have seen this martial soul somewhere!' Xiao Hongchen thought hard, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
At this time, Huo Yuhao's voice sounded behind Xiao Hongchen: "This ancient giant sword, about two meters long and half a foot wide, should be the Seven Kill Sword. Only when the soul master's cultivation reaches level ninety-seven can it evolve into a longsword that looks like it is made of crystal!"
"Oh! Yes, the Seven Kill Sword. I have seen pictures of this martial soul in the Douluo Martial Soul Atlas. Yuhao, you have a really good memory." Xiao Hongchen suddenly realized. "Hiss, I remember that among the owners of the Seven Kill Sword martial soul, the most famous was Sword Douluo of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect ten thousand years ago. Could it be that Ji Juechen is related to that Sword Douluo by blood?"
"Maybe it is like that. According to historical records, Sword Douluo was born in the famous Chen family, but Sword Douluo had no children. However, there should be some people related to Sword Douluo by blood. Those people may be Ji Juechen's ancestors."
"They may not have the Seven Kill Sword martial soul, but they must have had that bloodline in their bodies, which has not yet been stimulated. It's like Tang San's teacher, Yu Xiaogang, and his descendants, who carry the Light Holy Dragon bloodline, but very few can stimulate it." While Huo Yuhao was speculating, he looked at Ji Juechen and was a little surprised.
However, he carefully considered Ji Juechen's background and felt it was normal for the other person to have an unactivated bloodline.
On the Douluo Continent, a person's martial soul determines their potential strength. Even someone with a strong background like Yu Xiaogang, due to a malignant mutation of his martial soul, cannot become a Soul Elder at his advanced age.
Of course, the Light Holy Dragon bloodline in Luo Sanpao's body is still valuable. Mu En said it was good after using it.
According to the original setting, Ji Juechen's innate soul power is level three, his martial soul is very ordinary, and he has never taken any medicine since childhood. Although frequent battles can improve strength, logically, Ji Juechen's cultivation should not have advanced so quickly.
Under these circumstances, Ji Juechen can quickly become a powerful Soul Emperor, so his martial soul must be something extremely special. Of course, being able to integrate his martial soul into his sword already meant it was no longer a "normal" sword martial soul.
Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao retracted his gaze and dove into the sea again to stimulate his potential. Today marks the 22nd day of his second martial soul awakening, and his martial soul still shows no signs of a second awakening, which means his potential has not yet been fully tapped.
Xiao Hongchen looked at Ji Juechen and muttered in his heart: "Yuhao is in trouble this time. The Seven Kill Sword is a martial soul as powerful as the Clear Sky Hammer in history, and Ji Juechen's cultivation is higher than Yuhao's, so Yuhao may lose!
When Ji Juechen's martial soul was ordinary before, he could suppress many people at the academy. Now that his martial soul has transformed into the Seven Kill Sword, isn't it stronger than before? Hiss. Maybe I should ask Grandpa to prepare some more powerful soul guidance devices for Yuhao."
Xiao Hongchen knew very well that Huo Yuhao had brought many benefits to himself and the Sun Moon Empire, so he would naturally support Huo Yuhao. To be honest, he didn't want Huo Yuhao to lose.

Day 49.
Huo Yuhao sank into the dark sea again. The water pressure pressed from all sides. He suddenly found himself unable to breathe, relying only on the little oxygen in his body and his physical fitness to hold on.
He looked at Kong Deming in front of him and used his mental power to transmit: "Elder Kong, I hope you can take me further down to continue diving. I think this will better stimulate my potential."
It was already the 49th day—the final day—so he must awaken his martial soul for the second time today. Otherwise, he would have to begin the next 49-day training cycle.
Kong Deming was a little surprised, then quickly grabbed Huo Yuhao and dived deeper into the sea. For Kong Deming, he could travel to the seabed with his level 9 special soul guidance device. If Huo Yuhao couldn't endure it later, he would rescue him.
Huo Yuhao suddenly felt the water pressure intensify, and the burden on his body increased.
Soon, Huo Yuhao felt a sharp pain all over his body, and the oxygen in his lungs diminished. Although this was the deep sea, he could "see" his surroundings with his spirit eye martial soul and his powerful mental power.
"Hold on," Huo Yuhao gritted his teeth, watching the sea water stirred by Kong Deming.
Kong Deming on the side was also nervous, knowing that although Huo Yuhao had been holding on, he was now close to death.
After a while, Huo Yuhao's eyes grew brighter, and the Eye of Destiny on his forehead emitted a gradually intensifying rose-golden glow, turning the dark sea water into a golden hue. Behind him, the golden light and shadow fluctuated violently.
"Is this the second awakening of the gold level? Yuhao's talent is indeed unparalleled in the world!" Kong Deming was a little stunned. As far as he knew, among living soul masters with body martial souls, only Du Busi had experienced a second awakening of the gold level.
That is why Du Busi was so arrogant: the second awakening of the gold level grants extremely strong combat power. Generally, it can boost a soul master's attack power by one to three times, which is very formidable.
In the distance.
A demon soul great white shark looked at the sea stained with golden light and was curious: "Huh? What happened there? Why did the seawater suddenly turn golden? Is there some natural treasure? Well, come closer and take a look. But if there's danger, run away immediately!"
As the little princess of the demon soul great white shark clan—although she was already an 80,000-year-old sea soul beast—she still had a childlike personality. She was always interested in new things from the outside world.
