After saying that, the burly man did not want to make a fool of himself and turned to leave.

Ye Xiaobao had never been this angry before, but he was only six years old. What could he do?

Damn it, he was so angry he even had to piss.

The bathroom. Splash... splash... splash...

Hey, you had to admit it, the performance of a freshly manufactured model was excellent.

Back in the day, possessed by madness, he peed with the wind and soaked his shoes.

Now, in his prime, he could pee three yards against the wind without a care.

Early the next morning, Ye Dabao sent him to a nearby church for his awakening. Along the way, he kept encouraging him.

After entering the church, Ye Xiaobao discovered that despite arriving so early, he was somehow still the last one there. He could only obediently stand at the back of the line.

After a while, an elderly man in Purple Robe Bishop attire entered with a young man in white.

The young man in white greeted them and said with a smile,

"Hello, children. My name is Yun Chuan, and I am the Spirit Hall deacon responsible for your awakenings this time."

"Line up properly, and come over one at a time."

As he spoke, he took out a green diamond-shaped crystal from his bag.

One incense stick's worth of time later.

"Scythe martial soul. Soul Power level zero. Unable to cultivate."

"Go home. You cannot become a Soul Master."

A six-year-old girl immediately covered her mouth and left in tears.

Ye Xiaobao felt that things were looking grim for him.

More than ten children ahead of him had already completed their awakenings.

So far, almost all of them had ordinary martial souls like scythes, kitchen knives, and dogtail grass. Only a few had Innate Soul Power at levels two or three.

Most of them did not even have the chance to cultivate.

It seemed unlikely that he would awaken a good martial soul.

But he was unwilling to accept that!

He had already transmigrated. He refused to become an ordinary person.

Look at Tang San: Innate full Soul Power, twin martial souls, plus countless cheats. He was clearly the protagonist favored by destiny.

What if he really awakened a hammer martial soul and could not cultivate? Was he supposed to compete with Tang San over whose hammer was harder?

Then Tang San would say, "You already have a death wish," and immediately... Hiss... that would be too tragic.

Yun Chuan looked at Ye Xiaobao, the last child remaining, and quietly sighed to the Purple Robe Bishop beside him.

"Only the last one remains, Bishop. This batch has had terrible luck today. Not even one has Innate Soul Power at level four."

The Purple Robe Bishop said with an unhappy expression,

"Shut up! Do you think I do not want to find a few promising talents? His Holiness the Pope has issued an order: whoever discovers a genius will be handsomely rewarded. But there are barely any Soul Masters in this area. How could there be any geniuses?"

After saying that, he added angrily,

"That bastard Mu Sheng awakened a genius with Innate Soul Power at level seven last time, and he actually got transferred back to Spirit Hall. What outrageous luck."

Yun Chuan knew that he had misspoken and said nothing more. He could only continue the awakening. Pointing at Ye Xiaobao, he said,

"Child, come here. It is your turn."

Ye Xiaobao was pulled from his thoughts by the call. He no longer had time for wild imaginings and walked straight forward.

"What is your name?"

"Ye Xiaobao."

After recording it, Yun Chuan pointed at the awakening crystal.

"Place your hand on the awakening crystal. I will test your Soul Power afterward."

The moment Ye Xiaobao placed his hand on it, Yun Chuan began injecting Soul Power into the awakening crystal.

His eyes gradually began to sting, and he instinctively closed them.

Then he arrived in a mysterious space. Everything around him was shrouded in gray mist, and he could see nothing. He could only cautiously walk forward, continuing for who knew how long.

Until a massive boulder appeared before him, more than a dozen yards tall.

Suddenly, the entire space began to tremble. The boulder shattered apart, revealing that familiar figure.

It had the appearance of a monkey, clad in golden armor, with two phoenix wings atop its head gently swaying. It looked incomparably majestic, and in its hand was the very Ruyi Jingu Bang that had wreaked havoc in Heaven.

"This is? The Great Sage Equal to Heaven."

"Could my martial soul be the Great Sage Equal to Heaven?"

"This is insane! Absolutely insane!"

Ye Xiaobao could not help reaching out to touch it. In an instant, light flowed around it, and his consciousness returned to his body.

He opened his eyes and happened to see the Purple Robe Bishop brimming with excitement.

Meanwhile, Yun Chuan was drenched in sweat. As a level fifty-two Soul King,

he had actually exhausted his Soul Power just by helping a child awaken his martial soul.

Yet it was precisely because he had consumed so much Soul Power that it proved the point.

The higher the quality of the martial soul, the greater the Soul Power consumption. This was common knowledge in the world of Soul Masters.

Yun Chuan was about to collapse and could barely even speak.

The Purple Robe Bishop also noticed something was wrong. He hurriedly stepped forward and injected his Soul Power into the awakening crystal.

By then, all the light had poured into Ye Xiaobao's body. He felt warm all over, as if he possessed inexhaustible strength.

"Quick, stretch out your right hand!"

"Summon your martial soul."

Hearing that voice, Ye Xiaobao instinctively extended his right hand.

A staff slowly condensed in his palm. Not only did it gleam with golden light, five large characters were written on it, radiating an imposing aura.

He had not summoned his entire martial soul. It was not that he did not want to, but that he simply could not. He felt that perhaps his Soul Power was insufficient.

Ye Xiaobao thought that was actually a good thing. For someone without any backing, the better the talent, the sooner they died.

The instant the golden staff landed in his hand,

"Why is it so heavy?"

Ye Xiaobao felt that he could not lift it with one hand at all. He could only stand the golden staff upright on the ground.

The Purple Robe Bishop and Yun Chuan immediately gathered around.

"A staff-type tool martial soul."

"With such overwhelming pressure, it must be a top-tier tool martial soul."

"If his Innate Soul Power is high enough, he will definitely be a peerless genius!"

Yun Chuan took out another white testing crystal.

"This is a testing crystal that can measure up to level ten. Come, try injecting your Soul Power into it and let us test your Innate Soul Power level."

Ye Xiaobao had just placed his hand on the testing crystal.

Suddenly.

The testing crystal began to emit golden light, which slowly spread over Ye Xiaobao's body. His entire body glowed golden, growing brighter and brighter.

"This... could this be Innate full Soul Power!"

The Purple Robe Bishop looked at the dazzling light from the awakening crystal, his heart filled with astonishment and joy.

As long as the awakening crystal emitted even a little light, it represented Innate Soul Power at level one. The brighter the light, the higher the Innate Soul Power.

And this brightness had definitely reached the Innate full Soul Power recorded in the books.

It was just unknown why this light was several times stronger than the recorded Innate full Soul Power.

However, neither of them thought much of it. After all, the testing crystal could only measure up to level ten.

The two exchanged delighted looks and said in unison,

"Thank the Angel God for its blessing." x2

At the same time.

At Spirit Hall's Worship Hall.

The enormous statue of the Six-winged Angel God radiated dazzling light, illuminating all of Spirit Hall as though it had been draped in a veil of gold.

An elderly man with six golden wings spread behind his back transformed into a streak of golden light and arrived in an instant.
