Village Chief System Online

Upon entering the Spirit Hall branch in Holy Soul Village, the children's eyes lit up at the spacious hall and the tables and chairs adorned with exquisite patterns. These sheltered children looked around and touched everything, marveling at these unfamiliar things.

"Children, come stand in the middle!" Su Yuntao instructed.

Once all the children had lined up, Su Yuntao began his routine introduction.

"My name is Su Yuntao, a Level 26 Soul Grandmaster. I'll be your guide!"

"Now, I will awaken each of your martial souls, one by one."

"Remember, no matter what happens, don't be afraid."

"You. Yes, you. You go first."

As Su Yuntao spoke, he took six small black stones from his Storage Soul Tool. Then he pointed at a child standing at the far left.

When the child stepped beneath the formation created by the six small stones, Su Yuntao activated his soul power and injected it into the six stones spinning in midair.

The six black stones spun rapidly as soul power flowed into them, giving off Golden Light.

"Calm yourself and slowly sense your surroundings."

"Lone Wolf, possess me!"

With a thought from Su Yuntao, two soul rings rose beneath his feet, one white and one yellow. Purple soul power condensed behind him into the phantom of a wolf-headed humanoid.

"Ah?"

The child undergoing his martial soul awakening turned pale. He had never seen anything like this before.

ROAR!

Su Yuntao clearly wanted to show off. The Lone Wolf martial soul behind him let out an angry wolf howl, frightening the children in the hall so badly that they instinctively took a step back. Ning Qiu and Tang San were the only exceptions.

"Hmm, these two children seem a little different."

Su Yuntao's gaze fell on Ning Qiu and Tang San. Then, with a superior tone, he said, "I told you, there's no need to be afraid. This is my martial soul, Lone Wolf. If any of you become soul masters in the future, you'll possess similar abilities too."

Tang San, standing to the side, sank into thought, pondering the relationship between martial souls and humans. As for Ning Qiu, all he wanted to say was, What the hell? The children around him were still just children. How could they not be scared after seeing something like that?

Seeing the martial souls he had once been obsessed with in his previous life, Ning Qiu could not help but wonder what his own martial soul would be.

In Ning Qiu's view, no matter what his martial soul was, with his understanding of martial souls, even if he awakened Blue Silver Grass, a dung scoop, or a nine-toothed rake, he was confident he could turn it into an incredibly powerful martial soul.

"A Weapon Soul!"

Looking at the martial soul in the little boy's hand, Su Yuntao said somewhat disappointedly, "A sickle can at least be used as a weapon. Your martial soul is a Weapon Soul. Let's see whether you have any soul power. Even if you possess just a little soul power, you may still have a chance to become a soul master through meditation. After all, a sickle has some offensive power."

With another thought, Su Yuntao took out a blue crystal ball from his Storage Soul Tool.

"Master, what should I do?" Hearing that he might have a chance to become a soul master, the little boy was extremely excited.

"Use your mind to put away your martial soul. When you want to use it again, simply release it. To test whether you have soul power, all you need to do is touch this blue crystal ball with your right palm." Su Yuntao explained patiently.

Following his instructions, the little boy put away his sickle martial soul and nervously placed his right hand on the blue crystal ball.

"No soul power. You can't become a soul master. Go stand to the side. Next."

Under Su Yuntao's guidance, the martial soul awakening ceremony in Holy Soul Village proceeded in an orderly manner.

"A hoe. A useless martial soul!"

"A rake. Also a useless martial soul!"

"What's this? A shoulder pole? A textbook useless martial soul!"

"Blue Silver Grass? A martial soul so useless it couldn't be any more useless!"

"No defensive ability, no support ability, no offensive ability! Looks like this trip was another waste!"

Of the six children from Holy Soul Village, they either possessed useless martial souls from the start or had not the slightest bit of soul power. Su Yuntao ruthlessly declared that none of them could become soul masters.

"Alright, next!"

Very soon, it was the turn of the Douluo Plane's cheating protagonist, Tang San.

Tang San stepped forward. As Golden Light entered his body, he slowly rose into the air. A blade of Blue Silver Grass appeared in his right palm.

"Blue Silver Grass, Blue Silver Grass again. The countryside really is the countryside—almost everyone has one of these few martial souls." Su Yuntao shook his head in disappointment, completely failing to notice the black hammer in Tang San's left hand.

"Next."

"Uncle, you haven't tested my soul power yet."

"There's no need. Your martial soul is Blue Silver Grass, a standard useless martial soul. I've never seen Blue Silver Grass possess soul power." Su Yuntao's tone was flat.

"Uncle, testing soul power won't take much time. Please let me test it!" Tang San insisted.

"Fine. Testing your soul power won't waste much time either." Su Yuntao nodded and waved his hand. The blue crystal ball floated before Tang San.

The scene from the story unfolded.

When Tang San touched the blue crystal ball, it emitted an intense blue glow.

Su Yuntao was stunned. In astonishment, he said, "Child, you actually have Innate Full Soul Power!"

"Ah?"

The children around him looked at Tang San with envy.

"Uncle, what is Innate Full Soul Power?" Tang San asked curiously.

Off to the side, Ning Qiu was curious as well. Why did Tang San hide his other martial soul? Could someone who did not even know about Innate Full Soul Power or soul rings possibly know about the Clear Sky Sect? Or the grudge between the Clear Sky Sect and Spirit Hall?

If Tang San did not know, then why was he hiding it?

Curious as he was, it was Tang San's business. Ning Qiu was not bored enough to ask him about it.

From Su Yuntao's explanation, the children in the room learned that the strength of a martial soul's awakening was not only related to its form, but also to soul power. The stronger the awakened martial soul, the more soul power the awakening would grant in return.

Su Yuntao could not understand how a child with a Blue Silver Grass martial soul could possess Innate Full Soul Power. He could never have imagined that it was because Tang San cultivated the Mysterious Heaven Skill, and because his second martial soul was the Clear Sky Hammer.

"Then can I become a soul master?" Tang San asked anxiously.

"You can. It's just... Alright, next." Su Yuntao said flatly.

Tang San was filled with doubts, and he could tell that Su Yuntao was becoming impatient. He could only obediently step aside and watch Ning Qiu walk forward.

As the golden light seeped into his skin, Ning Qiu felt as though some shackle within his body had been broken.

"Ding!"

The system detected that the host is undergoing martial soul awakening. The Strongest Village Chief System is now coming online!

"System?"

Ning Qiu's heart jolted, and excitement surged through him. Was he finally going to get his own golden finger?
