In the sky, the sunset is coming, the red-orange sky has a touch of freshness, and the evening is like a beautiful oil painting.

It blows the evening breeze, with a wisp of graceful fragrance.

The delicate and fiery maple leaves swayed in the wind, and the leaves slowly fell to the ground. Under the tree, it was like a sea of flames.

This is a forest of arches that have existed for thousands of years.

Near the forest of arches, there is a small town called Maple Leaf Village. The population of the entire village is only a thousand people. The people here live a simple life.

Children grow up carefree, but when these children reach the age of six, they will usher in the most critical milestone in their lives, namely the awakening of martial spirits!

This is a world without revenge and without magic, there are only beautiful martial spirits.

Martial spirits can be anything, no one knows how many types of martial spirits there are because new varieties will keep appearing over time.

There is a small wooden hut next to the square, the wooden hut is used to awaken the spirit of six-year-olds.

Every year the empire sends people to the village to help the children wake up.

Once a child has the power of the soul, the future of this family will improve, so it can be said that this is the most anticipated day.

Today is the annual awakening day. Early in the morning, the villagers had finished their dinner and were quietly waiting outside the wooden house.

At a glance, I am afraid that there are two or three hundred people together.

The thick voices of the words came one after another, and it was very lively.

There are not many children who have awakened their martial spirits today, only seven in total.

On the outskirts of Maple Leaf Village, a rather delicate carriage arrived, there were two people in the carriage, a coachman and a young man with a calm demeanor, the young man did not appear to be more than twenty-five years old at the most.

The young man is well dressed, with an elegant face, a slender figure, and a slight smile on his face, but there is a trace of weariness beneath the smile.

Shen Tianlei stroked his forehead and said to himself: "It is still too difficult for a small town to awaken the martial spirit."

"Today I walked through twelve villages, and only five children have innate spiritual power, alas!"

A long sigh left his mouth, he is the soul master responsible for helping villages awaken their martial spirit in children.

Twelve villages are under his jurisdiction, and in all twelve villages he has seen the loss and sadness, of course, he had also seen the joy of the people in the villages with his own eyes.

Twenty years ago, he used to have the same expectations as these kids.

"I hope this last town can bring me a surprise today!" Shen Tianlei muttered to himself as he saw a quiet and peaceful town through the carriage window.

At the entrance of Maple Leaf Village, there are three people waiting anxiously, one of the elders is looking at the official road out of the village as if he is waiting for someone.

A strong man to the side looked at the old man and respectfully said: "Don't worry, the village chief, Master Shen will definitely come."

The old man is the village head of Maple Leaf Village, named Kelan, he is over seventy years old this year, and he is already hunched over in his old age.

Kelan looked into the distance with cloudy eyes and sighed: "That's not what worries me, for so many years there have been very few children with soul power in our village."

"I am worried about these children, after all, the soul master profession is the noblest profession in the Douluo Continent, as long as you become a soul master, your life will never be easy."

Hearing this, the two strong men on the side looked at each other and sighed in their hearts, obviously, they also had a lost past.

About ten minutes passed.

On the official road, a carriage appeared in front of the three of them with the sound of trampling hooves, and the carriage stopped not far from the three of them.

Kelan seemed relaxed, respect on his old face, and he hurried forward and took a few steps, the other two strong men following.

Whistle!

The curtains opened, and a young man got out of the carriage. He saw Kelan at a glance, and said with a smile: "Senior, we meet again."

"Master Shen!" Kelan yelled softly, and his already hunched body wanted to bow down.

"It can't be done!" Shen Tianlei's expression changed, and he quickly supported Kelan who was about to bow down.

Shen Tianlei said: "You are the eldest, and the child is the youngest, how can there be a rule for the eldest to greet the youngest?"

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Kelan's wrinkled face and he said, "We in the Douluo Continent do not rely on age. You are a spiritual master and deserve to be worshiped by the old man."

Shen Tianlei smiled helplessly and said: "Mayor, it's not too early. Let's go to the village to help those children awaken their martial spirits. It is estimated that these children and their parents are also anxious."

"Okay, okay!" Kelan nodded, then looked at the two strong men next to him and said, "Zheng Long, Zheng Hu, go to the awakening room and make arrangements."

"As village chief commands!" the two strong men respectfully said, and then they left.

After the two left, Kelan and Shen Tianlei were walking on the road inside the village, and Kelan couldn't help but ask:

"Master Shen, can you tell this old man how many children in other villages were able to become soul masters?"

Shen Tianlei said: "Except for Maple Leaf Village, I have already visited twelve villages today."

"There are five children with soul power, three of which are born with 1st level soul power, and the remaining two are born with 2nd level soul power."

"There is a high chance that they will reach the level of a soul master but this step is enough."

"Five!" Crane was also surprised, the number was too small.

Shen Tianlei said: "The most fortunate thing is that these five children's martial spirits are all good, at least they are not wasteful martial spirits."

"Is that so?" Kelan nodded. He still knew about martial spirits. Speaking of which, he was a fourteenth-level soul master, and his martial spirit was cabbage.

He was able to become the head of the village because he was a soul master.

It's all in the past, don't mention it.

Next to Maple Leaf Village Square, more and more people crowded together. I'm afraid it has exceeded 400 people. Since the plaza is so big, some people climbed up the trees to look at it because they couldn't see it clearly.

"I don't know how long it will take for Master Shen to arrive."

"After all, Master Shen is in charge of our area. He is also very busy. It is normal for him to come later."

"I hope these seven little ones can become soul masters. Our Maple Leaf Village hasn't had a soul master for almost 30 years."

"Except for the village chief, the last one became a soul master, sigh... Let's not mention it."

I don't know what this person said, the eyes of the people around them dimmed, and they seemed to think of some bad memories.

"Master Shen is here, everyone gives him space!"

Just as everyone gathered to make the water leak out, a loud scream suddenly rang out.

Everyone listened to the sound and then they made their way to the wooden house in a very orderly manner. Obviously, it is not the first time that everyone has done this, and they all have experience.

snap snap!

Hundreds of people turned their attention to the intersection of the plaza in the next second after giving way.

There are two people in total, one of them is familiar to everyone and is the head of their own village, and the other is a young man who made many people's eyes shine.

Because this young man is the master Shen who was in charge of awakening the children of the village where they were martial spirits.
