The gentle breeze lightly grazes the rice fields, stirring up waves of greenery like frothy waves. In the distance, the blue mountain crushes the white clouds on the horizon. In this natural harmony, a small mountain village sits quietly. When the village gate creaks open, an old man walks in.
This man, known as Old Jack, is dressed in a practical and simple robe, wearing a bamboo hat on his head, with a calm and solemn expression. Even as he walks amidst the beautiful natural scenery, his face still carries a hint of worry.
Old Jack gradually approached a small house in the village, with a simple roof made of plain blue tiles and surrounded by rough wooden fences. He pushed open the door and stepped inside the house.
Upon entering, Old Jack looked around and felt a sense of comfort. Despite its simplicity, the house exuded a genuine and warm atmosphere.
Simple furniture, clean stone floors, and a slightly rusted sickle in the corner, every detail appears so harmonious.
The owner of the house, Tang Hao, is sitting on a wooden chair, seemingly lost in thought. His sturdy figure clearly shows the result of years of hard work and training. His face carries a calm and stern expression.
"Tang Hao, I'm taking Xiao San to do the soul weapon awakening test today," Old Jack went straight to the point, clearly indicating the importance of this matter to him.
"Oh, okay," Tang Hao responded briefly, without asking any further questions.
Tang San, a six-year-old child, was standing nearby with curiosity. Upon hearing Old Jack's words, his eyes lit up and he couldn't help but ask, "Old Jack, what is the awakening ceremony?"
Old Jack instantly became serious, like an experienced elder explaining an important ceremony to the younger generation.
"Everyone will have their own soul weapon, and by the age of six, they need to participate in the awakening ceremony. Once you have a soul weapon, even if it's the most ordinary, it will enhance our physical constitution. Of course, if you have a powerful soul weapon, you can even cultivate into a Soul Master."
In conversation, Old Jack's gaze briefly became distant and envious.
He continued, "The awakening ceremony only happens once a year, and it is personally assisted by the steward of the soul weapon sub-temple in Nodding City to help the children of the village. This steward is a Grand Soul Master level Soul Master."
Old Jack spoke with great reverence, as if this Grand Soul Master was a sacred and inviolable presence.
Tang San widened his eyes, feeling somewhat incredulous, but a hint of anticipation surged in his heart: "Really? Can I become very powerful too?"
Old Jack smiled and patted Tang San's shoulder: "It depends on your own destiny and effort. But once you find the right soul weapon, your cultivation will be twice as effective."
Tang San secretly vowed to become an outstanding Soul Master and not disappoint Old Jack.
The sun had just risen, and the rosy light spread across every corner of the village. Old Jack and Tang San arrived at the village square.
The square was already filled with other children and parents, all waiting for the annual event. Suddenly, from a distance, there came the sound of hooves, and a Grand Soul Master clad in dazzling armor, wielding a long spear, rode slowly on a tall horse. His face bore an air of majesty, with eyes that were piercing and forbidding to look upon.
"He is the steward of the Nodding City soul weapon sub-temple, Wu Dashi," Old Jack said to Tang San in a low voice.
Wu Dashi dismounted and walked to the central platform in the square. He glanced at the people gathered below and said, "Alright, no need for further words. Let's begin the awakening ceremony."
The children walked onto the stage one by one, guided by Wu Dashi, and each awakened their own soul weapon. Some soul weapons were just ordinary plants, while others were axes, knives, or farming hoes.
Finally, it was Tang San's turn.
He walked onto the stage and stood in front of Wu Dashi, his heart beating a little fast. Wu Dashi placed his hand on Tang San's head, and a mysterious power flowed from his palm into Tang San's body.
Tang San felt a rush of heat throughout his body, then a beam of light shot out from within him, coalescing into a brilliant blue little grass.
The whole place was in an uproar.
"What is this soul weapon? It's so beautiful!" Old Jack was dumbfounded.
Wu Dashi also showed a disappointed expression, shook his head, and said, "This is a very common soul weapon - Lan Yingtsao. It's a pity that even if one can become a Soul Master, they are destined to not become powerful."
Old Jack couldn't help but feel sentimental after hearing this. However, he still didn't want to give up on Xiao San. As long as the village could produce another Soul Master, even if it meant risking his own life, he would send Xiao San to the academy for study.
On the other side. the Nirvana Phoenix Family location.
In a spacious room adorned with luxurious Chinese carved furniture and a large phoenix relief hanging on the wall, Juna sits in front of a rosewood dressing table. Three candles are lit on a silver candlestick, casting light on her disappointed and pained face.
At the same time, Julia—her mother, lies on the other side of the same room, with a healing soup made from lingzhi mushroom quietly evaporating on the bedside table.
"Mom, I'm really sorry, sorry to the whole family." Juna thought in her heart, wanting to find a hole to throw herself into.
She touched her eyes, which were a pair of soul weapon she obtained after awakening, Phoenix Seven-Colored Enchanting Eyes. Without the majesty of the phoenix, without the dominance of rebirth through fire, not even a decent feather.
Juna thought to herself, her soul weapon is even more useless than the Lan Yingtsao in the village, and even more of a knockoff than Ma Hongjun's questionable Phoenix. "Heavens, why are you so cruel to me! You gave me a seemingly perfect family, but then played such a big joke on me," Juna felt like a joke herself.
Upon seeing Tang San in the book "Douluo Continent" possessing twin soul weapons, it seems like he has an unfair advantage and is almost like using cheat codes. Compared to him, what is she?
Juna thought that being born in this world and becoming a member of a family with the Phoenix reborn from the ashes soul weapon would make her the center of attention and the envy of everyone as a proud daughter of heaven. But she never expected that things would become so complicated and painful.
Mother Julia struggled to sit up, her face slightly pale. She held a steaming cup of lingzhi soup and smiled faintly, her mouth seemingly filled with endless maternal love. With a weak but firm voice, she said, " Juna, don't be sad."
Juna's face stiffened, she lowered her head, her voice filled with self-blame and discouragement. "But mom, I've disappointed you, I've disappointed this family. My soul weapon, it's just a pair of eyes, even more useless than the Lan Yingtsao in the village."
Julia took a deep breath and steadied her emotions. "Every soul weapon has its purpose and value. Perhaps your soul weapon seems ordinary, but who can say it won't show extraordinary power in the future?" Her tone revealed a hint of determination.
Juna shook her head, hands clenched into fists, her face filled with pain. "You don't understand, Mom. In this world, soul weapon determines everything. My soul weapon not only mutated but mutated in a bad direction. How could I possibly become the pride of the family, how could I fulfill your expectations?"
Julia's eyes flashed with a hint of loneliness and loss, but quickly regained their calm. "Do you know why I fainted? It's not because your soul weapon disappointed me, but because I'm worried that you'll bear too much. Soul weapon is important, but more important is how you face it and grow from it."
Juna fell silent, once again gazing at herself in the dressing mirror, a figure with only a pair of Phoenix Seven-Colored Enchanting Eyes. The expression on her face became more complex, and she asked herself if she had the courage and perseverance to face it all.
Julia Slowly stood up, walked to her daughter's side, put down the cup of soup in her hand, and gently stroked her hair. "Look, your eyes, they are so beautiful. Who says they are useless?"
Juna Looked up at her mother, her eyes already moist.
"Do you know that your eyes are like a dreamy galaxy, filled with endless possibilities? I believe that as long as you have enough perseverance and courage, your soul weapon will also radiate its deserved brilliance."
Juna's heart shook as if her mother Julia's words had pierced directly into the deepest part of her soul. Her eyes instantly sparkled with a different radiance, and her whole body felt a warm power flowing through it.
"Mom, thank you," Juna said with a slightly trembling voice, revealing excitement. She tightly bit her lower lip, trying to stabilize her emotions. "I will remember Mom's words and bravely face my own destiny."
Seeing this, mother Julia smiled slightly, looking at her daughter with eyes full of love and expectation. "Very good, this is my daughter," she nodded in satisfaction, as if foreseeing a brilliant future for her daughter.
Juna gazed deeply into her mother's eyes and said, "I will do my best to give new meaning and value to these ordinary eyes. I will prove that I am not a disgrace to the family, but rather a source of pride!" She clenched her fists, as if to lock this belief firmly in her heart.
Taking a deep breath, Juna felt no more fear, because she had her mother's unconditional love and support, as well as an indomitable spirit.
"I will let the world see," she admonished herself tightly in her heart, "that even the most insignificant soul weapon can ignite a stunning spark."
