Chapter 17 Soul Master Appraisal

After coming out of the master's room, Tang San was about to go to the Wuhun Hall in Notting City to collect the soul master subsidy. He happened to meet Cheng Xiao and Xiao Wu who were leaving the back mountain of Notting College.

"Cheng Xiao, Xiao Wu, where are you going?" Tang San couldn't help but ask as he looked at Xiao Wu following behind Cheng Xiao.

"I plan to go to the Spirit Hall to collect the spirit master subsidy." Cheng Xiao glanced at Tang San and said lightly.

"Tang San, are you also going to collect the soul master subsidy?" Xiao Wu asked curiously.

Tang San nodded and said, "Yes, the teacher asked me to go for a soul master appraisal, firstly to test my current soul power level, and secondly to receive the soul master subsidy from the Spirit Hall, so that I don't have to work as a part-time student in the future. That is a gold soul coin."

"The Spirit Hall is pretty good." Xiao Wu's eyes lit up and she said, "One gold soul coin can buy a lot of delicious food!"

Seeing Xiao Wu's excited look, Tang San sighed inwardly, "Teacher said that the so-called spirit master subsidy is just a means for the Spirit Hall to win people's hearts. Xiao Wu looks very naive, so I'd better remind her."

"Xiao Wu, you must not think that the Spirit Hall is a good organization." Tang San frowned and reminded: "Teacher said that the money for the spirit master subsidy is paid by the two empires, and the Spirit Hall is just paying it on behalf of them."

"Even if we want to be grateful, we should be grateful to the two empires. After all, the money for soul master subsidies is allocated by the empire."

After hearing Tang San's words, Cheng Xiao couldn't help but said: "Tang San, since you think we should be grateful to the two empires, then you go to the empire to collect the soul master subsidy. I will go to the Spirit Hall to collect the soul master subsidy first. You have a good chat with Xiao Wu. I'm leaving first. Goodbye."

After saying that, Cheng Xiao walked out of the gate of Notting College without looking back.

"..." Tang San's face darkened. He had meant well to warn Xiao Wu that the Spirit Hall had rebellious intentions, so that she wouldn't be deceived. However, he didn't expect Cheng Xiao to say such words, which really made him feel embarrassed.

Who told him to go to the Spirit Hall to undergo soul master identification and receive subsidies?

"Hey, Cheng Xiao." Seeing Cheng Xiao leave without looking back, Xiao Wu stomped her feet angrily, then glared at Tang San and trotted after him.

"Xiao Wu, I..." Tang San was about to defend himself, but when he saw Xiao Wu running away without hesitation, he was speechless.

...

The Wuhun Hall in Notting City is a huge dome-shaped building. Its front width alone is one hundred meters, and its height reaches twenty meters. From a distance, it looks like a sacred church.

The whole building is brown, and there is a long sword with wings on the gate. The prototype of this long sword is the Angel Holy Sword of the Qian family.

"Cheng Xiao, please wait for me." At the entrance of the Wuhun Hall in Notting City, Xiao Wu looked at Cheng Xiao who had stopped in front of her breathlessly and said unhappily, "You walk so fast. If it weren't for Sister Xiao Wu's good physical strength, I wouldn't be able to catch up with you."

Cheng Xiao said: "You ran too slowly, you can't blame me."

"You..." Xiao Wu pouted angrily.

"Kids, this is the Spirit Hall. If you want to play, please go somewhere else." Just then, the guard of the Spirit Hall came over and smiled gently at the two of them.

"Hello uncle, I'm here at the Spirit Hall to test my spirit level." Cheng Xiao took out his spirit certificate and handed it to the guard.

The guard took the martial spirit certificate from Cheng Xiao's hand with both hands, looked at it carefully, and envy flashed in his eyes, "So it's the master soul master, please come in, Master Mashounuo happens to be here today."

"Trouble." Cheng Xiao responded, glanced at Xiao Wu who had her eyes wide open beside him, and walked into the Spirit Hall.

"Uncle, there's mine too." Seeing Cheng Xiao walk into the Spirit Hall, Xiao Wu suddenly became anxious and quickly took out her spirit certificate.

"Oh my god!" The guard exclaimed, looking at the martial spirit certificate handed over by Xiao Wu, and said respectfully: "Master Soul Master, please come in."

"Thank you." Xiao Wu thanked the guard politely and quickly followed.

Watching Cheng Xiao and Xiao Wu entering the Spirit Hall, one of the two guards at the gate couldn't help but say with envy: "I really envy the kids nowadays. They can become spirit masters at such a young age. If I had awakened my spirit power, I should be a spirit master now, right?"

"Haha, it doesn't matter if we can't become soul masters. We are now guards of the Spirit Hall. We get paid a lot every month. Aren't we living a good life?" another guard said with a smile.

When Cheng Xiao walked into the hall of the Spirit Hall, he saw all kinds of murals hanging on the walls, not just on the walls, but also on the dome. There were not many people inside the Spirit Hall, only a few maids were cleaning.

Seeing someone entering the Spirit Hall, the cleaning maid immediately came over. After understanding Cheng Xiao and Xiao Wu's needs, she took the two to an office and knocked on the door.

"Master Mashuno, there are two children who want to undergo soul master identification."

"Come in, the door is not locked." A somewhat old voice came from the office.

After hearing this, the maid gently opened the door and went back to her own business.

After entering the office, Cheng Xiao bowed slightly to the old man and explained his purpose, "Hello, old sir, my classmates and I are here to get a soul master appraisal."

"Soul Master Identification?" The old man looked Cheng Xiao and Xiao Wu up and down, and asked doubtfully: "Children, are you sure you are not here to awaken your martial souls, but to come for a soul master identification?"

"That's right." Cheng Xiao responded calmly.

Under normal circumstances, a child of Cheng Xiao's age would only have a few levels of soul power at most. Except for those who are born with full soul power and the geniuses of major forces, there are basically not many children who can reach level ten and obtain soul rings at this age. Without soul rings, how can they be identified as soul masters?

"Old sir, I am indeed here for soul master identification. I am born with full soul power." Seeing the old man's half-believing and half-doubting look, Cheng Xiao said.

"Full innate spirit power?" Hearing these five words, the old man was suddenly shocked. He looked at Cheng Xiao, whose face was calm, and seemed to remember something. He asked, "Child, was it Master Su Yuntao who awakened your spirit?"

"Yes, it was Master Su Yuntao who awakened my martial soul." Cheng Xiao smiled and said, "I have met you, Master Ma Xiunuo. When I awakened my martial soul, it was you who asked Master Su Yuntao to record my martial soul."

"So it's you, little guy." Recognizing Cheng Xiao as the genius with full innate soul power that day, Ma Xiunuo said with a smile: "I wouldn't be surprised if it was you. Come on, I'll take you to the soul master identification."

After saying that, Mashuno took Cheng Xiao and Xiao Wu's hands in a friendly manner and walked towards the Spirit Master Appraisal Room of the Spirit Hall.

After entering the soul master identification room, Mashu Nuo took out a yellow crystal ball and said to the two of them: "Children, put your hands on this crystal ball and release your martial spirits."

"Thank you, Grandpa Mashunuo." Cheng Xiao and Xiao Wu said at the same time.

Immediately afterwards, Cheng Xiao placed his hand on the yellow crystal ball and, following Matthew's instructions, directed the soul power in his body toward his palm.

The next moment, Cheng Xiao's eyes turned dark purple, and a dark purple soul ring appeared under his feet, moving up and down with his body as the center. At the same time, the Shadow King appeared behind him, and the entire appraisal room was suddenly shrouded in black fog.

"Is this the top-level beast martial soul that Su Yuntao mentioned that he had never seen before?" After seeing the martial soul displayed by Cheng Xiao, Mashunuo was stunned.

"What a genius." Ma Xiunuo suppressed his restlessness and focused his attention on Cheng Xiao's spirit ring, exclaiming, "It's a hundred-year spirit ring!"

However, the shock was not over yet.

Cheng Xiao's palm touched the yellow crystal ball. As he injected his soul power into it, the crystal ball instantly lit up with a golden halo. Although the halo was not strong, it was extremely clear.

"Ten... thirteenth level soul power?"

"Oh my God, what kind of soul beast did you hunt to get this? Your soul power actually jumped three levels." Matthew looked at Cheng Xiao as if he were a monster, his mouth wide open in surprise.

"A four-hundred-year-old wolf-shaped soul beast." Cheng Xiao made up a story casually.

"Haha, no wonder Su Yuntao said that you have great ambitions, it seems that he is not without reason." Ma Xiunuo shook his head and said gently: "I will not force you to join the Spirit Hall. After all, even our Spirit Hall does not have the reason to poach people by force. But after you graduate, if you want to join, you can come here to find me, or find Su Yuntao."

"Thank you, Grandpa Matthew." Cheng Xiao smiled slightly.
