Ma Xiunuo's Invitation

Ma Xiunuo's Invitation

"Sure!" Lu Yuan nodded.

"Golden Dragon, possess me!" Lu Yuan shouted softly. Dazzling golden light burst forth as the Golden Dragon Spirit instantly possessed him. Fine, beautiful golden dragon scales spread across Lu Yuan's cheeks, and beneath him, a deep yellow soul ring streaked with traces of purple shone brilliantly.

"What a powerful Martial Soul Aura. In all my years, this is the first time I've seen such a dominant Martial Soul!" Ma Xiunuo praised.

Although Lu Yuan's Soul Power was not high, the innate nobility of the Golden Dragon Spirit could not be concealed.

"Child, how many years was your first soul ring? Judging by its color, its age seems quite high!" Ma Xiunuo asked.

"It was a Sky-Supporting Demon Ape over eight hundred years old!" Lu Yuan did not hide it.

"Over eight hundred years, and a Sky-Supporting Demon Ape!" Ma Xiunuo cried out. "No wonder your Soul Power rose by three levels at once!"

At that moment, the way Ma Xiunuo looked at Lu Yuan changed. He could no longer be judged by the standards of an ordinary genius. He was an unparalleled prodigy rarely seen across the entire continent.

The Sky-Supporting Demon Ape was a top-tier Soul Beast, and it had been over eight hundred years old. This child's future was simply limitless.

Sisi and Su Yuntao could not help but gasp. His first soul ring was eight hundred years old, while as Soul Grand Masters, their second soul rings had only just passed one hundred years. Comparing people really could drive one mad.

"Child, are you willing to join our Spirit Hall?" Ma Xiunuo looked at Lu Yuan with blazing eyes.

The child before him was so outstanding. A genius like this ought to join Spirit Hall. This old man, who had devoted most of his life to Spirit Hall, sincerely hoped that it would grow ever stronger. Young Soul Masters with limitless potential like Lu Yuan were Spirit Hall's future.

"What benefits are there to joining Spirit Hall?" Lu Yuan asked.

Seeing that Lu Yuan seemed to be softening, Ma Xiunuo was delighted and quickly pressed his advantage. "There are many benefits to joining Spirit Hall. Let me explain them to you in detail."

"First, resources. Spirit Hall places the greatest importance on nurturing young Soul Masters. Once a genius like you joins Spirit Hall, you can receive ample cultivation resources, ensuring that your Soul Power Level rises rapidly."

"Then there is the issue of soul rings! Soul rings are the most important thing to a Soul Master. Spirit Hall guarantees that if you join us, whenever you need to advance, we will send people to help you find the most suitable soul ring."

"Third, soul bones. If you truly are an exceptional genius, then as long as you can cultivate to the Soul Saint realm in the future, Spirit Hall will unconditionally provide you with a soul bone suited to you. At the same time, you can at least hold a seat as an elder of a main hall."

"Fourth, geniuses like you with Innate Full Soul Power will have the opportunity to go to Spirit City. So long as you pass the trials, you may join the Papal Hall. From then on, you will stand above ten thousand and below only one. Fame, wealth, and power will all be within easy reach."

"So, child, have you decided whether to join Spirit Hall?"

Lu Yuan pondered for a moment. "If I join, will I have a chance to go to Spirit City?"

Ma Xiunuo nodded. "Yes. In fact, every year, we send the geniuses recruited that year to Spirit City. As long as they pass the trials, they can join the Papal Hall. Even if they do not join the Papal Hall, as long as they perform well, they may still have the chance to join the next rank down, the Spirit Saint Hall!"

"With your talent, if you join us, even if you say nothing yourself, we will report it to our superiors and send you to Spirit City. But whether you can remain in the Papal Hall will still depend on your own ability. Still, with your strength, I believe your chances of success are great."

Having heard what he wanted, Lu Yuan no longer hesitated. "Then I am willing to join Spirit Hall!"

"Really?" Ma Xiunuo was overjoyed. "Welcome to Spirit Hall. I guarantee you will not regret it."

As he spoke, he took a money pouch from a drawer and handed it to Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan looked somewhat puzzled. "What is this?"

Ma Xiunuo smiled. "Geniuses like you receive preferential treatment when joining Spirit Hall. There are five hundred Gold Soul Coins here, considered your salary for the first month. From now on, you can collect five hundred Gold Soul Coins every month. Consider it one of Spirit Hall's benefits."

"I see!" Lu Yuan accepted the pouch. There was no reason to refuse free money.

Seeing Lu Yuan's actions, Ma Xiunuo smiled and took out a contract. "This is proof of joining Spirit Hall. You only need to sign it!"

Lu Yuan picked up the pen and signed his name.

Then Ma Xiunuo took out a small booklet. "This is your Martial Soul manual. It contains records of your Martial Soul and advancement. Keep it safe!"

Lu Yuan accepted the Martial Soul manual and nodded.

Ma Xiunuo said, "We will immediately report your information to the branch hall above us. That branch hall will report it to the main hall, and the reports will go up level by level. In about half a month, a special carriage will escort you to Spirit City. Make your preparations!"

"Alright, thank you, Grandpa Ma Xiunuo!" Lu Yuan said.

"You really don't seem like a six-year-old child!" Ma Xiunuo smiled. Lu Yuan gave him the strongest impression of being steady and thoughtful, not at all like a six-year-old.

"Speaking of which, Notting College has produced quite a few odd talents this year. Yesterday, I registered two children with Innate Full Soul Power. Unfortunately, they were unwilling to join Spirit Hall. But thankfully, today I found someone even more talented—you."

Lu Yuan smiled faintly. He knew Ma Xiunuo was most likely referring to Tang San and Xiao Wu.

"Grandpa Ma Xiunuo, I'll be leaving now!" Lu Yuan said with a smile.

"Mhm! Go on!" Ma Xiunuo said.

Lu Yuan turned and left.

Watching Lu Yuan leave the room, Ma Xiunuo turned around and said, "Sisi, this time you helped the Spirit Saint Hall discover such an unparalleled genius. The hall will not treat you unfairly. I will truthfully report your contribution to the Hall Master."

The Hall Master he referred to was naturally the Hall Master of the Notting City branch hall.

"Thank you, Grandmaster Ma Xiunuo!" Sisi smiled like a blooming flower, making Su Yuntao beside her deeply envious. Why had he never had such luck? The only child with Innate Full Soul Power he had awakened possessed the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul.

Little did he know that he was the number one awakener in Douluo Continent. Who knew how many great figures had awakened their Martial Souls in his hands, and without exception, every last one of them eventually became gods!

The ever-reliable toolman Brother Tao was no joke.

Alright, jokes aside, let us return to the main subject!

Lu Yuan left Spirit Hall and headed toward Notting College. The moment he entered the school gates, he sensed that something seemed off about the atmosphere.

Without hesitation, Lu Yuan casually stopped someone.
