Martial Soul Defect Seeks Investment

Martial Soul Defect

Martial Soul Branch Hall.

"Children, my name is Su Yuntao. I am a level twenty-six Battle Soul Master and the guide for your martial soul awakenings. I will now awaken your martial souls one by one. When your name is called, come forward."

On the steps of the Martial Soul Branch Hall, a handsome young man in a moon-white robe held a sheet of paper as he spoke in an orderly manner. However, his complexion looked poor, and he seemed mentally exhausted.

That was understandable. After traveling through dozens of villages of all sizes around Notting City, he had finally encountered a promising child with Innate Full Soul Power—only for it to be useless Martial Soul Blue Silver Grass. Not only had he failed to gain any performance credit, but after returning, he had been pressed into service by Master Ma Xiuno. No one could be in a good state after that.

Even the word "miserable" was not enough to describe him.

Below the steps, dozens of six-year-old children looked up at the Battle Soul Master with heavy dark circles under his eyes. After he finished speaking, they obediently nodded.

Among them was a delicate-looking boy with black hair and black eyes.

I didn't expect Su Yuntao to be the one awakening my martial soul. This is guaranteed!

Xu Changqing thought to himself.

As a transmigrator who had devoured web novels and anime, Xu Changqing naturally knew Su Yuntao's standing on Douluo Continent. He was the man netizens jokingly called the "Blind God King," someone who had "raised" countless supreme Douluo gods across the heavens!

Originally, Xu Changqing had worried that something might go wrong with his perfect protagonist-template beginning after spending six years in Notting Orphanage on Douluo Continent—such as having no Soul Power.

But now that he saw the famous "Blind God King" was the one awakening his martial soul, he was no longer worried.

With such a "great god" awakening his martial soul, weren't buffs going to stack up on him?

At the very least, he would probably start out as a Titled Douluo in the future!

While Xu Changqing was thinking, the martial soul awakening ceremony began.

Su Yuntao slightly bent over and shouted, "Lone Wolf, possess!"

At once, one white and one yellow Soul Ring rose from beneath his feet, slowly revolving around his body. At the same time, his physique swelled slightly, making the white deacon robe of Spirit Hall bulge. A wolf-shaped black shadow standing upright emerged behind him, looking rather ferocious.

The children of Notting City had seen more of the world than village children and knew more about martial souls. Su Yuntao's sudden transformation did not frighten them. Xu Changqing merely studied him curiously for a few moments before withdrawing his gaze and waiting quietly.

After completing his martial soul possession, Su Yuntao swept his gaze around, then glanced at the slip of paper in his hand and quickly called out, "Ye Feng!"

"Here!"

A little boy hurried forward and entered the Awakening Array that had already been set up under Su Yuntao's direction.

Before long, with Su Yuntao's help, a kitchen knife appeared in the little boy's right hand. It was the martial soul he had just awakened.

"A kitchen knife. A tool martial soul. It can barely be used in battle. Let's test whether you have Soul Power. Put your hand on it."

As Su Yuntao spoke, he took out a blue crystal ball.

The little boy named Ye Feng obediently did as he was told. However, when he pressed his hand against it, the crystal ball showed no reaction. Su Yuntao shook his head in disappointment. "No Soul Power. You cannot cultivate. Go down. Next."

Immediately afterward, the second child entered the Awakening Array formed by awakening stones. The process continued as before. His body floated into the air and was enveloped in the hazy golden light of the Awakening Array.

"A turkey. Beast martial soul. No Soul Power. Next."

"Blue Silver Grass. Useless martial soul. No Soul Power. Next."

"A sickle. Tool martial soul. No Soul Power. Next."

"A gorilla. Beast martial soul. Innate Soul Power level two. Congratulations."

""

As one child after another entered the Awakening Array, the variety of awakened martial souls gradually increased. However, not a single high-grade martial soul appeared. The best one was merely a broadsword martial soul with Innate Soul Power level five.

Xu Changqing was from Notting City's orphanage. Compared to these children born in Notting City with city residency, his status was relatively low, so his martial soul awakening had been arranged for last. But he did not care.

True geniuses often made their entrance at the end!

Soon, he was the only one left in the hall who had yet to awaken a martial soul.

"Next, Xu Changqing!"

Su Yuntao read from the paper with tired eyes.

"Here!"

Xu Changqing responded and consciously walked to the center of the Awakening Array. Following the martial soul awakening process of the children before him, he closed his eyes and quietly sensed the changes within his body.

Inside the Awakening Array, his body gradually floated up and was wrapped in golden light.

So warm...

That was Xu Changqing's first sensation.

Then, he sensed that some kind of shackles inside his body had been broken. A stream of power began surging from within him, gathering in his right palm.

"Raise your right hand!" Su Yuntao reminded him at the right moment.

Xu Changqing obediently raised his right hand and slowly spread open his palm. A palm-sized black ancient zither leaped into existence in his hand.

Five Dragon Lyre (Defective State: Can have at most five Soul Rings)!

At the moment his martial soul successfully awakened, Xu Changqing also learned its name and condition. It was like a unique instinctive perception; everyone on Douluo Continent was the same.

"Defective?"

After realizing something was wrong with his martial soul, Xu Changqing's previously calm expression became somewhat grim.

Fortunately, his frustration lasted only an instant before another new surge of power emerged from his body and gathered in his left palm.

"Twin Martial Souls?"

Xu Changqing was instantly invigorated, and he felt much better. He lightly clenched his left hand and did not reveal this martial soul, but he could still sense its name and condition in his mind.

Dragon Scale Spear (Defective State: Can have at most five Soul Rings)!

Xu Changqing: ???

Damn it!

Are you kidding me?

Both martial souls were defective?

Was there even any difference between hiding it and not hiding it?

Before the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda in the original Douluo story was upgraded, Ning Rongrong could at least cultivate to level seventy-nine. Yet he could only add five Soul Rings, which meant he could only cultivate to level fifty-nine at most?

He could not even break through to Soul Emperor?

Wouldn't he be guaranteed cannon fodder in the later stages?

Had the "Blind God King" lost his magic, or had Xu Changqing set too many flags and gone overboard?

In the hall, Su Yuntao studied the Five Dragon Lyre in Xu Changqing's right palm for a few moments and said uncertainly, "A zither tool martial soul. Two strings are missing. It seems incomplete? Let's test your Soul Power first."

Xu Changqing said nothing. With a heavy heart, he nodded and gloomily pressed his hand onto the blue crystal ball.

In an instant, the blue crystal ball blazed with light. Its watery blue glow illuminated the entire Martial Soul Branch Hall with shimmering radiance.

"Innate Full Soul Power!"

"Another person with Innate Full Soul Power has appeared!"

Su Yuntao's eyes widened, and his voice rose several pitches.

After the useless Martial Soul Blue Silver Grass with Innate Full Soul Power, another person with the exceedingly rare Innate Full Soul Power had actually appeared in his hands?

Was his luck really this good?

After a brief moment of shock came overwhelming delight!

Su Yuntao's grin nearly reached his ears. At that moment, all the fatigue accumulated in his body seemed to have been swept away, and he was brimming with energy.

Xu Changqing himself was also slightly surprised. Both his martial souls were defective, yet he still had Innate Full Soul Power?

However, something even more shocking came afterward.

Ding. Detected that the host has successfully awakened martial souls, possesses Twin Martial Souls, and has Innate Soul Power at level 10. The Master-Servant System is beginning binding.

Detected that the host's Soul Power has reached level 10 and has met the condition for one Servant System distribution. Whenever a servant host selected by the Servant System completes a system mission and receives a reward, the host of the Main System will receive an equivalent reward.

For every 10 levels the host's Soul Power increases, the host will gain one additional opportunity to distribute a Servant System externally. Servant hosts are selected entirely at random. Would the host like to distribute a Servant System now?

Available Servant System mission difficulties are: Normal Difficulty, Warrior Difficulty, King Difficulty, Nightmare Difficulty. Please make a selection as soon as possible.

Xu Changqing's mind was blown by the sudden system notifications, and he failed to react for a moment.

As a result—

Because the host failed to make a selection for an extended period, the system has automatically selected: Nightmare Difficulty Servant System.

The Nightmare Difficulty Servant System has successfully been distributed to Douluo Continent.

"Uh..."

"Nightmare Difficulty? It was distributed just like that?"

"By the way, who did you give the Servant System to? As the host of the Main System, I don't even have permission to know?"

After recovering, Xu Changqing asked question after question in his mind, but the System gave him no response.

Instead, Su Yuntao's words pulled him back to reality.
