Powerful Spiritual Power Shocks Soul Master

"Long Yuan, you're the first Soul Master in our grade to break through to level ten. The school is giving you a free ten-year Soul Spirit as a reward. Keep this ten-year Soul Spirit exchange voucher safe.

When the time comes, give it to the Soul Master, and he'll select a suitable ten-year Soul Spirit for you."

Early the next morning, Lin Ximeng gathered Long Yuan, Tang Wulin, and the other students in the class who had reached level ten Soul Power, preparing to head to the Spirit Pagoda to purchase Soul Spirits.

Rewarding them with free Soul Spirits in front of everyone also served as encouragement, motivating them to study and cultivate diligently.

"Let's go!"

After a few simple instructions, Lin Ximeng led Long Yuan and the others toward the Spirit Pagoda branch.

"Teacher Lin, I'll give you a surprise when we get home!"

Long Yuan walked up beside Lin Ximeng and spoke quietly.

He had not told Lin Ximeng about his Martial Soul Evolution, nor that his Soul Power had long since broken through to level fourteen.

He had not revealed anything about his Soul Skills either.

This time, when they went to the Spirit Pagoda to purchase Soul Spirits, the Soul Power testing step had been canceled because the testing device had suddenly broken down.

Any student whose Soul Power had reached level ten could participate.

"What surprise? Did your Soul Power advance by leaps and bounds?"

"Long Yuan, you broke through to level ten a year ago. Why didn't you come buy a Soul Spirit then?"

Lin Ximeng had never been able to understand it. Long Yuan had already broken through to level ten a year ago, which meant he could have received the free Soul Spirit reward back then.

Yet Long Yuan had said there was no rush. His Martial Soul was special, and he needed to study it further.

A whole year had passed before he came to purchase a Soul Spirit. Wasn't he afraid it would affect his cultivation?

Although she was Long Yuan's adoptive mother, it was not her place to interfere too much in matters of cultivation.

So when Long Yuan refused to purchase a Soul Spirit a year ago, she could only support his decision.

"Hehe, I'll tell you when we get home!"

Long Yuan kept it secret for now. When they got home, he would give his mother a huge surprise.

"You little rascal..."

Lin Ximeng rolled her eyes at Long Yuan. What exactly was the surprise he had mentioned?

"We're here!"

After some time, Lin Ximeng led everyone to the Spirit Pagoda branch in Aolai City's central district.

Before them stood a three-story octagonal building, square and imposing in appearance, grand and majestic.

The main doors stood open, with layers of marble paving the floor. The interior was extremely spacious.

Long Yuan looked around, all kinds of information about the Spirit Pagoda surfacing in his mind.

He silently swore that one day, he would conquer this place, even conquer the Spirit Pagodas across all of Douluo Continent, and become the strongest being on Douluo Continent—even in the entire Great God Circle.

He would slay every enemy!

"Hello, may I ask what you need?"

As they approached the main entrance, a Soul Master stood up from behind a counter.

He wore a gray robe embroidered with the Spirit Pagoda's emblem.

"Hello, sir. Several of my students have broken through to level ten, so I brought them here today to purchase Soul Spirits. Here are our credentials."

Lin Ximeng took out a bronze-brown card from her Soul Tool and handed it over.

"Alright, I understand!"

The Soul Master took the bronze-brown card and went to verify its authenticity.

The other students had all come with their parents, so after briefly greeting the Soul Master, Lin Ximeng only needed to purchase a Soul Spirit for Long Yuan.

She had already explained the precautions for purchasing Soul Spirits to the parents on the way here, so everyone was familiar with them.

"Mm, there's no problem with this ten-year Soul Spirit exchange card. You may draw one white ten-year Soul Spirit suitable for your child's Martial Soul.

"However, we recommend selecting a more suitable Soul Spirit based on the child's personal circumstances. We offer three ways to purchase Soul Spirits here.

"There are seventy-four options for white ten-year Soul Spirits, twelve options for yellow hundred-year Soul Spirits, and randomly drawn Soul Spirits..."

Although he knew Lin Ximeng likely already understood all this, he still explained the Soul Spirits and their prices in detail as part of his duty as a Soul Master.

Lin Ximeng did not interrupt him, allowing Long Yuan and the other students to listen carefully.

It would make things easier when they came to purchase Soul Spirits themselves in the future.

"Once you understand, follow me. Oh, and the Spiritual Power test requires an additional payment!"

After explaining everything he needed to, the Soul Master glanced at Long Yuan and Lin Ximeng, waiting for payment.

Lin Ximeng took out a Federal Coin and handed it over.

But at that moment, Long Yuan had already beaten her to it, handing over a Federal Coin first.

"Hmm? Long Yuan, where did you get so much money?"

Long Yuan had always kept it from her that he earned money by taking on jobs at Mang Tian Workshop.

"Hehe, I'll tell you when we get back!"

Long Yuan chuckled. This was another surprise he had prepared for Lin Ximeng.

Lin Ximeng shook her head. This kid was deliberately being mysterious.

Before long, Lin Ximeng followed the Soul Master with Long Yuan into a room filled with various instruments. It was used for the Spiritual Power Test.

Following the Soul Master's instructions, Long Yuan sat down in a chair.

The Soul Master pressed a button, and a device resembling a metal helmet slowly descended from the ceiling before settling over Long Yuan's head.

Spiritual power was the foundation for fusing with a Soul Spirit. The stronger the Soul Spirit, the greater the spiritual power a Soul Master needed to subdue and fuse with it.

Through the research and conclusions of generations of Soul Masters, spiritual power had been divided into six levels.

They were Spirit Origin, Spirit Connection, Spirit Sea, Spirit Abyss, Spirit Domain, and the God Origin Realm.

They were classified according to quantified spiritual power values.

"Don't be nervous. Relax!"

The Soul Master's reminder came as he pressed another button on the console.

At once, the helmet on Long Yuan's head began to emit a gentle white glow.

The red numbers on the Soul Guidance Screen beside them began to flicker.

"10, 20, 30..."

The numbers jumped quickly at first, then gradually slowed until they finally stopped.

"90 points? How is that possible? Could the machine be malfunctioning?"

Seeing the number settle at 90, the Soul Master's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Kid, don't worry. The machine may have a problem. I'll test you again!"

As he spoke, the Soul Master repeated the procedure.

But in the end, the number was the same as before, fixed at 90 points.

After inspecting the instrument, the Soul Master revealed a shocked expression. "There's nothing wrong with the machine. Ninety points of spiritual power at nine years old—what a genius!"

The Soul Master stared wide-eyed at Long Yuan, the corner of his mouth twitching as he asked, "Kid, what is your Innate Soul Power?"

Hearing the Soul Master's words, Long Yuan knew the man had become interested in him. He wanted to recruit him into the Spirit Pagoda.

He answered truthfully.

"Only rank three? What a pity. If your Innate Soul Power had reached rank seven, then with your spiritual power, I could recommend you to join the Spirit Pagoda and receive focused training."

After saying that, the Soul Master sighed regretfully for Long Yuan.

Another blind Su Yuntao? At nine years old, having ninety points of spiritual power is absolutely abnormal.

Ordinary people at Long Yuan's age only had thirty or forty points.

Long Yuan's spiritual power was nearly three times that of an ordinary person.

It could be said that when it came to fusing with Soul Spirits in the future, he possessed an enormous innate advantage.

In the Soul Master's eyes, with only rank-three Innate Soul Power, Long Yuan would probably find it difficult even to break through to the Soul King realm.

Good thing my Innate Soul Power is low. Otherwise, I might have been invited to join the Spirit Pagoda.

In that case, not only would I be unable to build a bond with Na'er, but it would also be difficult to establish a connection with Tang Wulin, the Child of Destiny.

Then I'd lose out on many opportunities.

"This is your Spiritual Power Test report. I'll take you to choose a Soul Spirit now."

The Soul Master sighed again, handed over a test report, and led Long Yuan toward the area for choosing Soul Spirits.

There was more than one Soul Master present. The other students were likewise being led by their respective staff members to test their spiritual power before being taken to choose Soul Spirits.
