Martial Soul: Tianshi Yuan Zi

Episode 1

One rainy night in the Abyssal continent, consistent sounds of rain and thunder were heard. But for the people living here for so many years, this is a normal phenomenon.

Unlike the name of the continent, the continent is not a total abyss, but it got the name after the catastrophe happened millions of years ago. The continent became a dark place wherein even sunlight cannot come through. The only sign between day and night is that it is raining during the night, and it was simply dark during the day.

But of course, not all the people living in Abyssal continent were not able to see the sunlight. The nobles and the royal family and even the travelling merchants had seen the beauty of the sunlight.

Tonight's event may seem normal to other people, but it is totally not.

In a church outside the abyssal continent called the Holy Island, the Saintess was just having her normal routine which is praying before sleeping when she suddenly had a vision and starts to mutter.

“The Demon God made its move; he sends his seven deadly sins emperor to reincarnate to this world, be prepared for the change that will happen in the future.”

The Saintes regained her consciousness and immediately call for a meeting.

“The holy angel revealed to me that the seven deadly sins emperor of the Demon God are now reincarnated here. But not to make a mistake on killing the innocent, the holy angel shows me the way to recognize them.” She started immediately to gain the attention of everyone.

“The Emperor of Wrath will have a black dragon martial spirit and a dragon tattoo on his neck.

The Empress of Envy will have jade snake martial soul and a snake tattoo on her left shoulder.

The Empress of Greed will have a three-eyed demon fox martial soul and a fox tattoo on her right shoulder.

The Emperor of Sloth will have a gold claw violent bear martial soul and a bear tattoo on his left leg.

The Empress of Lust will have a soft-bone goat martial soul and the goat tattoo on her right ****.

The Emperor of Pride will have the single-eye lion king martial soul and a crown tattoo on his forehead.

Lastly, the Emperor of Gluttony will have the abyssal boar martial soul and a boar tattoo on his stomach.” The Saintes explained. As she was saying these things the Saintes notice that each of them has the animal martial soul, but the strangest thing is that all these animals are a clan that existed thousands of years ago.

“Could it be that they will become the reason for them to resurface in Fallen Star Planet?” The Saintess asks herself.

It has been five years since the prophecy was announced, now this whole year the church will be focusing on the newly awakened kids. It is saddening them to kill those children, but it is a thing must be done. Little they did know that the Demon Immortal takes their martial soul into consideration, the real forms of the seven deadly sin emperors will be only shown once they reach a certain level of strength.

In a mansion located south of the royal palace of the Abyssal Continent resides the fallen dukedom family of Tianshi. Although they are of nobility with the dukedom title, they have fallen so much compare to thousands of years ago.

The reason they became a dukedom was because of the contribution of their first ancestor which is known as Angel Spirit Master. At the age of 30, the first ancestor of Tianshi dukedom reach Titled master and brought enormous amount of glory to the continent that is why the royal family decides to give them the irrevocable title of dukedom and grant them the southern lands of the continent.

As time passes by the first ancestor aged and died naturally, after that his first son became the new Duke of the Tianshi, even though he is not as talented as his father he managed to inherit his father’s title the Angel Spirit Master at the age of 35.

The legacy of first son inheriting the title Angel Spirit Master stops when the third Duke, the grandson of the first Angel Spirit Master had no son and her daughters did not have an Angel Martial Soul but only have the mutated version of Angel Spirit, the Golden wings. After that, the first daughter became the Duchess, as per the rules set by the first Angel Spirit Master in his family as if he foresaw what is coming.

The rule said that “If the current head of the family fails to have a son to inherit the Duke title, the first daughter should inherit the title and become the Duchess and the family will fall under matriarchy, the matriarchal rule will only stop if the current leader of the family will have a son to inherit the title. Anyone who disobeys this rule will face an indescribable curse.”.

Then the Tianshi family fall under matriarchy, and starts the fall of the Dukedom. The Golden Wing martial soul of the duchess is not as strong as the Angel Martial soul, in fact this martial soul is only good for scouting and defense which is far different from Angel Martial Soul which has a destructive power and incomparable speed and defense.

When the Duchess gave birth to her first born, it is a daughter and she doted her so much and trained her to be her successor. Just like the mother, she also has the Golden Wings martial soul, years passed and the duchess gave another birth but this time it is a son. As per the family rule, the first son should always inherit the Duke title but the current duchess disregard it since that rule is only known by the leader and grand elders.

The grand elders pursue the matter of making the son as rightful heir especially when he awakens the Angel body, far superior than the Golden Wings but inferior to Angel martial soul, as the Angel body has the explosive power and good defense. But the Duchess did not care about the so-called curse as it is only on text and there is no yet evidence.

Years passed and the coronation ceremony for the new ruler of Tianshi family happens, as per known, the Duchess pass the rule to her daughter, as the daughter walks towards the Duchess, the he Golden Wings involuntary came out and the golden feathers are falling out until the wings completely disappear. The head cleric of the family checks her condition and announced that the she lost her cultivation and now only a normal person.

The commotion started and the rule book written by the first Angel Spirit Master came out and his projection came out. “I already told you that do not disregard the family rules, now face the consequences of your action, now the announced new leader of Tianshi family will now loss all her cultivation and this curse will be pass down to her descendants for eternity, meaning she will no longer have connection to Tianshi family. The leader who disobeys the family succession rule will be banished from the family and lose all cultivation. Now, the rightful leader shall seat to the Dukedom chair. However, since you are still connected to the former leader, I will depraved your Angel Body to have the explosive power. May this curse be a lesson to all of you and now follow the family rule.”. Then rule book goes back to its own place.

This news shocked everyone in the Abyssal Continent, however the royal family cannot take what is given to the dukedom but some nobility takes this opportunity to rise more power. After that incident no one dares to disobey the family rules, and that incident caused them what the Tianshi family are now.

Episode 2

Now, the current Duke of Tianshi, Duke Tianshi Xu’s youngest child and only son Tianshi Yuan is having his awakening ceremony on the sacred grounds of Tianshi’s. Unlike the other awakeners, the Tianshi family awakens their martial soul at the age of 5. The awakening ceremony must be hosted by the family leader himself as the leader's drop of blood is the key to the ceremony together with three strongest grand elders of the family who specialize in attack, defense and speed.

Not much later, the altar is now shining in bright golden color, after that dazzling light disappear, a golden human like figure with a pair of wings appeared, the grand elders and Duke Tianshi did not expect this, after more than hundred years, the Angel martial soul appeared again. But the shocked did not last long and Duke Tianshi said the Yuan Zi to put his hand on a long pillar. This pillar measures the level of power once a martial soul is awakened, with level 10 being the highest meaning it can already have its first ring.

Yuan Zi does what his father said and puts his hand on the pillar, then pillar lights up to the max, this again shocked the grand elders and Duke Tianshi. This son is more genius than the first ancestor, the family records said the first ancestor only have level 8 of power.

After the ceremony, the Yuan Zi come to his father and the three grand elders and said something.

“Father, earlier I saw an old man that looks like the painting in the basement, he said to me that tell your father that I died due to outbursts of energy, but in fact father should send me to Heaven Continent and I should study there.” This also shocked the Duke and the elders, the old man painting in the basement is the first ancestor of the Tianshi family, since the first ancestor personally asked for it, they should abide it to avoid any curse.

“The old man also said the during the years that I am studying, do not contact me in any way possible to completely cover the lie of my death, mother and sisters should also not know about this lie. Father, the old man also said that you should not worry about me, thousands of years ago he traveled across our whole planet and gain many friends, one of them lives in Heaven Continent and they are a clan known as Angel’s Guardian.” Yuan Zi added.

After that, they do as the old man said and no one doubt about this lie since Duke Tianshi brought back Yuan Zi’s toy that he brings during the awakening ceremony. The lie became the truth since the family rule book did not appear. Another rule of the family is that no one should lie, assume or joke about family’s death.

Yuan Zi’s mother Ling Yue and her sisters Hou and Bing cried out loud after hearing the news. Yuan Zi was doted by her mother and sisters since he was a miracle baby. Ling Yue is only an ordinary human meaning it is already hard to give birth at a specific age, Ling Yue was already 40 when she gave birth to Yuan Zi while she was only 19 to Hou and 20 to Bing.

Yuan Zi’s family mourn for him for a whole month but those months are his preparation to travel to Heaven Continent.

The day of announcement of his death is also the day that he left for Heaven Continent. It takes 2 weeks for him to reach the Heaven Continent, when the ship landed to the pier a group of people walks towards him.

“Are you Yuan Zi?” The one in front asks, and Yuan Zi nodded as an answer then they show him the way. “We are the Knights from the Angels’s Guardian Clan, you can talk to the clan leader when we arrived if you have questions.” Then they continue to walk.

When they have arrived at the manor of Angel’s Guard clan, the knights showed the way to the clan leader, Tiandou Li and they have a chat in there. Although Yuan Zi is still young the clan leader explains some of the details why the first ancestor declared him dead on his awakening day.

Leader Li only explains a part of what Angel Spirit Master had told their ancestor who lived in the same era as him. Since Yuan Zi awakened the Angel martial soul at the 10th level, meaning Yuan Zi will be more prominent figure than him, Leader Li did not explain things further as it will lead to much more information that cannot handle by a 5-year-old child.

After their chat, Leader Li showed him to the heaven forest that was founded by Angel Spirit Master and task the ancestors of Leader Li to guard the forest and named it Heaven Forest. The Heaven Forest is almost like a paradise. Like other forests in the planet, soul beast and soul plants also live in there but they are not as ferocious as those on the other forests.

In addition to this, the soul beasts and soul plants here can cultivate much faster, living only for one year adds a hundred years in their cultivation that is why many of them are much stronger.

When they have arrived at the heart of the forest, Leader Li said his goodbyes knowing what will happen next. Yuan Zi also bid his goodbyes then he sat down and his storage ring light up. The storage ring brought out a shining gold and silver lance.

In the Tianshi family, it became a custom for the family members to absorb a weapon’s soul as their first ring. Yuan Zi starts to absorb the soul of the weapon. The long sword’s age already passed the 500th year, in addition to the weapon’s age it can increase its age by absorbing souls of another weapon. When he successfully absorbs the ring, a shining yellow ring surrounds him and rest for a bit.

After resting the voice of Leader Li is heard at the garden.

“Since you are only five, you cannot yet go to the academy so you should stay here till next year. You should cultivate and stabilize your energy and discover why Angel Spirit Master decides to fake your death.” Echoed in the forest.

Episode 3

It has been a year since Yuan Zi trained in the Heavenly Forest. For those years, he spends most of his time stabilizing his energy, then training his weapon and his first soul skills, it is Angel’s Long Sword Embodiment which can be done without saying the skill, while the other skill is the Angel’s Slash.

Wordless soul skill casting was a skill that only 8-ringed master can do. This way, it can be said that Yuan Zi is a one of a kind genius that did not even appear in the entire history.

A month ago, Yuan Zi already reach the 20th level and ready to have his 2nd ring, but Leader Li said that it is not a good idea because he will catch too much attention if a 6-year-old child already has 2 rings.

In addition to Leader Li’s advice, he said that he can have his 2nd ring in preparation for the midterm exam of new students wherein they will need to have a practical battle.

The next day, 2 knights followed Yuan Zi and Li Bi Tong, Leader Li’s grandson to enroll at the Heavenly Academy. During the registration, they only ask the martial soul, innate energy level and current level, in some cases if one has a full energy they will ask if he or she has already a ring and his or current level. And Yuan Zi was aware of this so he was ready.

Yuan Zi’s real identity is known in the whole clan and in the whole clan only, while on the outside, Li Yuan Zi is the one-in-a-million genius in their clan, the reason their clan is called Angel’s Guardian Clan.

“Name?” The registration staff in charge asks Bi Tou. “Li Bi Tou, martial soul Angel’s Shield, innate energy level 7, currently level 8.” He answered then the staff given him a ticket and told to enter the right gate. Then it was Yuan Zi’s turn. “Name?” He was asked. “Li Yuan Zi,--” upon hearing his name, the staff became shock, Yuan Zi notice this but he continues to his introduction. The reason they are shocked is because Leader Li announced that a one-in-a-million genius was born in their clan. But the real shocking news was only about to start.

“Li Yuan Zi, martial soul Angel, energy level 10 with 1 yellow ring, currently level 13.” Upon hearing this, not only the registration staff were shocked but also the other enrollees. After recovering from the shock, he was also given a ticket and told to proceed at the left gate. Yuan Zi ask why he was separated from Bi Tou and the staff said that those who awakened with level 10 innate energy and has ring have a different test, but upon releasing the results, students with rings and with no rings will be place im a section randomly.

After hearing this, Yuan Zi proceed to the left gate and entered it. It was a big open space with 4 people already and the one holding a folder seems like the instructor who will commence the test. When Yuan Zi arrived in their place, the instructor said that they need to wait until the registration time is over.

After 2 more hours, 3 more people arrived at the area, then the instructor said that they should introduce themselves in order of their arrival in the area. Also remind them to forget saying their innate energy level since all of them are the same, instead they should just show their ring and launch their first soul skill towards him and he will grade it.

“From the Heaven Continent Royal Family, I am the 12th prince of the Continent from the 3rd wife of the King, I am Tian Ru Ming, martial soul Life essence flute, currently level 11.” He finished his introduction and showed a yellow ring the he starts to talk again. “Since my martial soul is on the tool support, please be ready.” He said, then he said his soul skill and start blowing the flute. “Life essence flute first sound, power.” Then the instructor starts to feel an increase in his power.

“Good! Though my power could only increase by 5% because I already have 5 rings, I’m sure if it is used on someone with 1 or two rings, the buff will increase. Grade B.” the instructor said.

The grading during this test is by letter being D- the lowest and S+ as the highest, but there are few new students can even have an A+ grade, mostly they are only up to A-. Then the next student starts her introduction.

“From the Heavenly Continent Royal Family, I am the 5th princess of the Continent from the 3rd wife of King, twin sister Ru Ming, I am the older sister Tian Ru Yue, martial soul 18 string Harp, currently level 12.” like what Ru Ming did, a yellow ring appear and a 3 feet Harp showed, the Ru Yue starts playing, a pleasant sound was heard in the area. “18 string Harp first sound, Shock!” then the pleasant sound starts to attack the instructor's mentality, but it was swayed away.

“Spiritual attacks are effective to paralyze the enemy from a distance and a great support skill, but my spiritual power is higher than yours, luckily it did not backfire you. I am looking forward for the support skills of the both of you, Grade B.” the instructor said then proceed to the next.

“I don’t belong to any nobility, I am Lou Feng Feng, martial soul Demon vine, currently level 11.” The people around start to mock at him, I believe that was because he was a commoner. And the mocking became laughter when a white ring appears, it means that his soul ring only has a single to double digit age. But regardless, Feng Feng attacks the instructor.

“First soul skill, Bind.” he said then the instructor was wrapped with crimson red vines, but like what happened earlier he broke through easily.

“This soul skill is also good support skill, many plant related soul master go to path master control path. But it’s a pity that the spirit beast where you got the ring only has 99 years of age, and if my guess was right is the Beguiling Vine that is under its evolution to a hundred year. It is correct that spirit beast under the phase of evolution, especially plant types are easier to hunt but this is their disadvantage, the ring they will produce is their previous. If the Beguiling Vine reaches its hundred years, the enchanting effect of your attack will increase. Grade C.” the instructor said. Then it is now Yuan Zi’s turn.

Yuan Zi decides to also add the Angel’s Guardian clan in his name. “From the Angel’s Guardian Clan, Li Yuan Zi, martial soul Angel, currently level 13.” Yuan Zi’s introduction shocked all the students in the area; the instructor already knew about him.

Then he also releases his yellow ring, to ensure the highest grade, Yuan Zi also decides to show his pair of golden wings. During his training on heavenly forest in search for other uses of his martial soul. He discovered that he can materialize his wing to further increase his speed.

“First soul skill” upon saying this Yuan Zi flew towards the location of the instructor but then he suddenly disappears.
