Soul land: Primordial Sun

The courtyard buzzed with quiet anticipation as the sun crept higher into the sky. Today was the day Shen and Fu Lian would awaken their martial spirits. Shen decided to undergo the ceremony in the courtyard away from prying eyes and since his men were capable of awakening martial souls it seemed like an apt choice considering his awakening if done under the spirit hall branch would definitely be recorded and information will be send to the pope's palace

The man conducting the ceremony was Ren Tai. Shen stood at the center, his golden eyes gleaming with a mix of excitement and determination.

"Shen, are you ready?" Ren Tai's deep voice broke the silence.

Shen nodded firmly. "I've waited for this day for years, Uncle Tai. Let's begin."

Ren Tai smiled faintly, stepping forward. His towering frame seemed to emanate an invisible pressure, but his tone was steady and calm. "The awakening process will connect you to your spirit. Relax your mind and let the energy flow naturally. First, Fu Lian will go."

Fu Lian, standing beside Shen, looked nervous but resolute. Her hands trembled slightly as she stepped forward. Ren Tai placed his palm on her forehead, closing his eyes as his spirit energy surged outward. A faint, silvery glow enveloped Fu Lian's small frame.

A cold, crystalline aura filled the courtyard, and the light coalesced into a serpent-shaped projection above her. Its translucent, ice-blue body shimmered like frost under sunlight, and its piercing eyes exuded an aura of unyielding cold.

Ren Tai's eyes opened, a flicker of surprise crossing his face. "The Frozen Crystal Serpent—a peak high tier martial spirit"

"Fu Lian place your hands on this crystal, let me test your innate spirit power"

"Yes Uncle" Fu Lian stepped forward and placed her hands on the crystal causing it to shine brightly

Fu Lian closed her eyes as the system measured her potential. Moments later, Ren Tai spoke, his voice tinged with pride.

"Innate soul power: Level 9."

Shen was surprised to say the least. I never expected this girl to posses such talent it seems she will have a bright future.Level 9 was exceptional, a sign of great potential in the world of soul masters.

Fu Lian's face lit up, her excitement barely contained. "I… I'll work hard to become stronger!"

Ren Tai nodded approvingly. "Good. Now, Shen, your turn."

Shen stepped forward confidently, his heart pounding. He had waited for this moment ever since he was reborn into this world. Ren Tai placed a hand on Shen's head, and an overwhelming surge of energy flooded his body.

Shen felt something within him stir, amplifying the process. A blazing golden aura erupted from his body, the heat so intense that the onlookers instinctively stepped back. Above him, two distinct manifestations appeared.

The first was a majestic dragon, its shimmering golden scales radiating divine power. Its serpentine body coiled through the air, exuding an aura of dominance and celestial strength.

The second was a massive sword, its blade glowing with an intense solar brilliance that seemed to pierce the heavens themselves. Runes etched along its length pulsed with ancient energy.

Ren Tai's usually composed expression broke into shock. "A golden dragon and sword so pure filled with such radiant energy these definitely surpass top grade martial spirits… Shen A twin martial soul,this is unprecedented!"

Shen was ecstatic,"these martial souls are the Primordial Sun Dragon and the Divine Solar Sword"

"Good names" exclaimed Uncle Tai and Yin simultaneously

Shen's lips curled into a faint smile. "What's my innate soul power, Uncle Tai?"

Ren Tai extended his energy to measure it, and his voice trembled as he announced, "Innate soul power: Level 10. Full potential."

The courtyard fell silent. Level 10 was a perfect score, the rarest of all awakenings, and a mark of someone destined for greatness.

Shen clenched his fists, his excitement barely contained. "Level 10… This is just the beginning."

Later that afternoon, Shen sat alone in his room, reflecting on the events of the day. Fu Lian was ecstatic about her awakening, but Shen's focus was on the system. His thoughts turned to the thousands of white lottery tickets he had accumulated over the years.

There has to be a way to make these useful, he thought. As if in response, a new notification appeared in his mind.

[System Function Unlocked: Ticket Conversion]

Shen's eyes gleamed. This was exactly what he needed. Without hesitation, he accessed his inventory and began the conversion process.

[Converting 1,000 White Tickets…]

[Results:

• 1 Black Ticket]

He decided to save the higher-tier ticket for tomorrow as it was getting quite late and he had enough excitement for the day and it wasn't like it's gonna just vanish now is it.

Satisfied, Shen shifted his focus to his cultivation. His Nine Infernal Suns technique had reached a bottleneck, but now, with his martial spirits awakened, he could progress further. Sitting cross-legged on his bed, he circulated his energy through the intricate pathways outlined by the technique.

Golden flames ignited within him, forming nine radiant orbs of solar energy. Shen focused on the first of these, compressing it into a dense, fiery core at his dantian. Sweat poured down his face as the intense heat seared his insides, but he pressed on.

Hours passed before the core finally stabilized, glowing with a faint, golden-red light. Shen opened his eyes, his aura surging with newfound strength.

"A pseudo-solar core," he murmured, a faint smile playing on his lips. "This is just the first step."

He stood and gazed out of his window at the horizon, the fiery glow of the setting sun reflecting in his golden eyes.
