Naturally full of soul power, possessing the first millennium spirit ring! What sort of prodigy was this?

Even if this kid's martial soul was terrible, he was undeniably an extraordinary genius, right?

"Grandpa Nuo, what exactly is the Soul Hall's main branch?" Wang Feng inquired further.

Master Nuo led Wang Feng toward a side room, taking the opportunity to explain,

"Our Soul Hall is merely a subordinate Soul Hall. Above it, there's the Soul Hall Main Branch. Even the capitals of both empires have a Soul Hall Main Branch! Furthermore up, there's the Soul City Soul Hall, where the supreme pontiff/pope resides!"

As he finished explaining, Master Nuo led Wang Feng into the room for soul power identification.

It was a very big and vast chamber!

Upon entering, Wang Feng felt his body's spiritual energy slightly tremble as though being drawn by a force within the room. He couldn't help but wonder about it silently.

Glancing at the room's walls, which were engraved with the stones that Su Yuntao used for testing martial spirits, Wang Feng pondered.

"Is there any place above Pope Soul Hall?"

"Of course," Matthew Nuo's expression turned solemn, his tone respectful. "The Elder Hall. It's the place all soul masters aspire to reach. Only those who've attained the Titled Douluo realm are allowed into the Elder Hall."

Wang Feng nodded.

These settings from the Douluo Continent, he had slightly forgotten but upon hearing from Master Nuo mention them, he began to recall it.

"Your name is Wang Feng, right? Wang Feng, before the appraisal, I have a question to ask you," Master Nuo said with a smile.

"What's the question?" Wang Feng responded.

"Would you be interested in joining the Soul Hall?" Master Nuo continued, "You've only just entered Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy, right? You haven't taken on a mentor yet. If you'd like, you can directly become a member of our Soul Hall."

After saying this, Master Nuo gazed intently at Wang Feng.

Though this child had yet to be tested, Master Nuo could make a rough estimate that this child's soul power was far from ordinary.

A thousand-year spirit ring, once absorbed, would likely propel this child's spirit power directly over level 15 or maybe even 20!

Matthew Nuo, with his extensive experience conducting countless soul power appraisals in the martial soul hall, had never seen such a situation before. The first soul ring, a thousand years old one, could bring about a two to three level rise in the Soul Grandmaster level.

And given the color and characteristics of this thousand-year old soul ring, it was likely even more than just a mere one thousand years old. Such a surge of added soul power can lead directly to level 20 was perfectly plausible.

"The Soul Hall? How is it different?" 

Wang Feng asked in astonishment. 

"If I join the Soul Hall, does that mean I'll only be an exclusive soul master of the Soul Hall? I won't be allowed in Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy?"

Master Nuo was taken aback, then chuckled. "My child, you're really quick-witted. Yes, that's right. There's a specialized academy within the Soul Hall for talented young soul masters. If you join the Soul Hall, you're essentially a soul master of the Soul Hall. Naturally, you'll need to study within the Soul Hall for systematic training."

"Of course, there's more to it. For that, you'll need to ascend to higher levels of the Soul Hall to gain insight. I've already reported your situation to the two higher levels of the Soul Hall. They'll be sending someone over."

The Soul Hall in Nuoding City was merely a subordinate of the Soul Hall Branch of Suotuo city. Master Nuo's report had been submitted to the first level of the Soul Hall main branch.

However, this child was truly remarkable.

"Yeah!"

Wang Feng responded with a smile, "I haven't even begun my studies at Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy... Besides, I'm quite familiar with Master Su. Joining the Soul Hall would be wonderful."

With that, he harbored a smile in his heart.

"Haha, excellent! Very well, young man, let's test your soul power."

Master Nuo led Wang Feng to the center of the room, where a yellow crystal ball was suspended. He smiled and said, "Go ahead, infuse your soul power into it."

Wang Feng nodded and proceeded to channel his soul power into the yellow crystal ball.

"Going by logic, with the potent soul power from your thousand-year soul ring... and being naturally full of soul power, you should break straight through to level 20..." Matthew Nuo spoke slowly but didn't complete his sentence.

Suddenly, the yellow crystal ball emitted a bright halo, though not excessively dazzling.

"Hey... Level 16? How is it that your soul power is only at level 16... Even if it's high, the thousand-year soul ring should have..."

Master Nuo was momentarily taken aback.

According to his estimate, Wang Feng's spirit power should have been a solid level 20.

Why was it…

"Is there a problem, Grandpa Nuo?"

Wang Feng withdrew his soul power and inquired with a smile.

It seems the compressed and purified soul power has caused my estimation to be true. Sixteenth level is the accurate outcome and it's just right... Ha ha.

"No problem." Master Nuo frowned, sensing something odd. Nevertheless, even at level 16, Wang Feng was still a prodigy!

This news was certainly worth reporting.

"My child, wait here. The bishop of the Suotuo City Soul Hall is on the way. I'll ask him to speak with you once he arrives. The city of Suotuo is nearby, situated in the province of Fasnuo. It's a major city... Given the bishop's strength, he should be arriving swiftly! He should be here before dusk, I presume!"

Master Nuo spoke softly, "By the way, what's your martial soul? Su Yuntao mentioned it was a Green Lotus, resembling a new kind of flower-type martial soul. Can Grandpa take a look at it?"

"Okay..." Wang Feng gently opened his palm, revealing a small Green Lotus.

However, he controlled its manifestation, keeping it from fully blooming and reducing its size significantly.

"A flower? What's its use? Flower-type martial spirits are typically utilized for urban decoration and flower cultivation and maybe its an auxiliary type martial soul..." Master Nuo shook his head slightly.

The beauty of this flower was truly striking; it was challenging to discern its true potential purpose.

Master Nuo didn't delve further into it and began discussing other matters with Wang Feng.

As evening approached, Su Yuntao entered with two individuals. One of them was quite young, adorned in opulent robes, exuding an extraordinary air. His brows and eyes glinted with a profound light, his features strikingly refined, like the masterpiece of a skilled artisan crafted over countless years.

The other man, draped in bishop's attire from the Spirit Hall, emanated a cold, lofty demeanor, enveloped in a formidable aura.

"Master Jie Ke, please come."

Su Yuntao spoke, his expression fatigued but profoundly respectful.

Most of his day had been spent running around for this affair.

"Where is he? The child with a first soul ring that's a thousand years old one? If I find out you're lying to me, everyone in this soul hall will face consequences!"

Bishop Jie Ke's patience seemed to wane as he regarded Su Yuntao.

Can a genius of this caliber truly arise in such a small town? Preposterous!

Even with innate full spirit power, to claim a first soul ring as a thousand years old one is utterly ludicrous! In such a small place, could such a thing even happen?

If not for the young man beside him who happened to visit their Soul Hall and found the news intriguing and insisted on coming to see for himself, the bishop of the Soul Hall wouldn't even bother with coming to this place.

"After you."

Bishop Jie Ke respectfully gestured to the enigmatic boy at his side.

"Hm." The youth appeared to be around fifteen or sixteen years old. His voice was exquisitely melodic.

Su Yuntao speculated internally, this young man's striking allure seemed inexplicable. Even Bishop Jie Ke, a 70+ level Soul Saint in the main hall of the Suotuo City, treated him with the utmost respect.

It was worth noting that Bishop Jie Ke's level of respect hinted at the extraordinary status of this mysterious boy.

Not long after, Bishop Jie Ke and the enigmatic boy arrived at the Soul testing room where Master Nuo and Wang Feng awaited.

In the blink of an eye, several pairs of eyes met.

Observing the approaching figures, Wang Feng wasn't sure who they were but he discerned that the middle-aged man was definitely from the Spirit Hall's main branch from the Suotuo City.

Could a branch of the Spirit Hall truly house a Soul Saint?

The young man beside him also intrigued Wang Feng.

"This boy is remarkably handsome... perhaps even more so than me," he thought quietly.

His current body had undergone substantial refinement, boasting extraordinary facial features, skin, and various attributes making him extremely handsome even in his own eyes.

Still, this young man appeared to surpass him in handsomeness, an indistinct peculiarity imbuing his presence.

Having caught only a glimpse of the newcomers, Wang Feng cast his gaze downwards.

"Master Nuo, this is Bishop Jei Ke."

Su Yuntao stepped forward to introduce them.

Matthew Nuo promptly offered his respect to Jei Ke but Jei Ke interrupted him with a wave of his hand, saying, "Alright, let the child release his soul ring. We want to see this thousand-year soul ring and also, what is his soul power level now?"

Master Nuo hastened to Wang Feng's side, murmuring a few words.
