Inside the spacious wooden structure, dazzling light suddenly burst forth from the blue crystal ball, illuminating the entire Martial Soul Hall. Su Yuntao, who had been filled with disappointment moments before, was now utterly shocked.
"How is this possible? Innate full soul power with the Blue Silver Grass, a useless Martial Soul?"
In the Douluo Continent, the number of people who could awaken a Martial Soul and possess spirit power was already quite small. And innate full soul power was even rarer, usually only seen in those with powerful Martial Souls.
But the Blue Silver Grass? It was a well-known useless Martial Soul. Among ten thousand Blue Silver Grass Spirit Masters, not even one might possess spirit power.
How could such a useless Martial Soul exhibit innate full soul power?
What was unfolding before Su Yuntao's eyes was completely overturning his understanding of Martial Souls!
"Uncle, what is innate full soul power?" Tang San asked curiously upon hearing Su Yuntao's outburst.
"Innate full soul power is the highest level of spirit power one can have when their Martial Soul awakens. Generally, the higher the innate spirit power, the faster one's cultivation speed will be in the future," Su Yuntao explained.
"But although you have innate full soul power, your Martial Soul is the Blue Silver Grass. Its potential is so low, its growth abilities are pitiful. If you had any other Martial Soul—even something as simple as a wooden stick or a sickle—then at least I could... sigh..."
Su Yuntao let out a sigh filled with regret, his thoughts trailing off.
As a Rank 26 Grand Spirit Master, Su Yuntao's strength wasn't remarkable when compared to the entire continent. However, in Notting City, his Rank 26 status made him one of the strongest around.
With his strength, Su Yuntao didn't need to trouble himself with the thankless task of overseeing Martial Soul awakenings. Yet, he had volunteered to conduct these awakenings in the nearby villages of Notting City for a reason.
If a child awakened a powerful Martial Soul with great potential and was brought into the Spirit Hall, Su Yuntao would receive corresponding rewards based on the quality of the Martial Soul and the child's innate spirit power.
Tang San's innate spirit power was full soul power. If only his Martial Soul wasn't the Blue Silver Grass—if it were anything else, even a stick or a sickle—Su Yuntao would still have received a generous reward from the Spirit Hall.
But the fact that Tang San's Martial Soul was the infamous Blue Silver Grass left Su Yuntao feeling nothing but deep regret.
"Uncle…" Tang San wanted to ask more questions, but Su Yuntao was no longer in the mood to answer. With a wave of his hand, he said, "Step aside, there's still another child left to awaken their Martial Soul."
Hearing this, Tang San kept quiet, stepping out of the awakening formation and moving to the side.
"Your turn, child."
With Tang San leaving the formation, Su Yuntao turned his attention to Lin Ye, his eyes showing a hint of expectation.
This child, Lin Ye, had also passed Su Yuntao's earlier test, just like Tang San. Su Yuntao wondered if Lin Ye's potential would be as promising.
The last child had awakened with innate full soul power. Even if Lin Ye wasn't at the same level, surely he would have innate spirit power at Rank 7 or 8, right?
As long as his Martial Soul wasn't Blue Silver Grass, even something like a sickle or a hoe would do. If his innate spirit power was high enough, and he could be recruited into the Spirit Hall, Su Yuntao would still be rewarded handsomely.
With hopeful eyes, Su Yuntao watched as Lin Ye calmly stepped into the Martial Soul awakening formation.
Once Lin Ye was in position, Su Yuntao moved his hands rapidly, sending out six green beams of light that shot into the six black stones around the formation.
Instantly, countless golden light particles began to pour out of the stones, flowing continuously into Lin Ye's body.
"This feels warm… and comfortable!"
Standing within the formation, as the golden light particles flowed into him, Lin Ye felt a strange warmth circulating through his body. It was as though he had been immersed in a hot spring, and his entire body began to relax. He couldn't help but close his eyes, sensing that something deep within him was about to emerge.
"This child seems promising too..."
Noticing that the golden light particles continued to enter Lin Ye's body without stopping, even after several minutes, Su Yuntao's hopes began to rise again. Lin Ye seemed to be absorbing even more golden particles than Tang San had.
Could this child also have high innate spirit power?
The last child had the Blue Silver Grass—surely this one wouldn't be that unlucky as well, right? Su Yuntao mused to himself.
"Summon your Martial Soul!"
After nearly ten minutes, the golden light particles finally began to wane. Su Yuntao, unable to contain his anticipation, called out with a shout imbued with spirit power, instantly awakening Lin Ye from his trance.
However, upon hearing Su Yuntao's voice, Lin Ye opened his eyes but frowned slightly, as though lost in thought.
After a brief moment, Lin Ye finally extended his left hand. A flash of light appeared, and a delicate, white begonia flower materialized in his palm.
"A… a flower? A begonia flower?" Su Yuntao was momentarily stunned.
It wasn't Blue Silver Grass, but still—a flower? What use was a flower? Could it only serve as decoration in a noble's home?
Well, another useless Martial Soul…
Su Yuntao had already made up his mind. He was disappointed once again. He had never heard of any powerful Spirit Master having a flower as their Martial Soul.
Having judged Lin Ye's Martial Soul as worthless, Su Yuntao assumed that the boy likely wouldn't have any spirit power. Perhaps his earlier success in the test was simply due to his good physical condition.
Still, if Tang San's Blue Silver Grass could awaken with spirit power—and with innate full soul power, no less—there might be a chance for Lin Ye as well. There was no harm in testing.
With a sigh, Su Yuntao handed the crystal ball to Lin Ye, who appeared deep in thought.
"Let's see if you have any spirit power."
Lin Ye nodded calmly and took the crystal ball, placing his right hand on it.
The moment Lin Ye's hand touched the crystal ball, a powerful force suddenly pulled at his Nine Yang True Qi, drawing it into the crystal ball. In an instant, the crystal ball erupted with brilliant light.
Whoosh!
The dazzling light filled the entire Martial Soul Hall, leaving Su Yuntao utterly stunned.
Just moments ago, the Blue Silver Grass with innate full soul power had already left Su Yuntao in a state of shock.
But now, another child—this time with a flower Martial Soul—had also awakened with innate full soul power.
For a brief moment, Su Yuntao didn't know whether he should feel incredibly fortunate or extraordinarily unlucky.
Two children in a row, both with innate full soul power, yet both had awakened useless Martial Souls. Was everything the Spirit Hall believed about Martial Souls wrong all along?
