Innate Level 9 Soul Power, Child, You're Invincible!

"Phew, all right, I'll give you one more chance!"

"Becoming a Soul Master is important for a child, but becoming a Soul Master isn't the only way to experience the wonders of life!"

Ma Xiunuo said this because he was clearly worried that if Yun Feng failed to awaken his martial soul again, he might be unable to accept it and do something irrational.

Naturally, Yun Feng understood his concern. He merely nodded and sincerely thanked him once more.

Before long, Yun Feng followed Ma Xiunuo to a room at the very end of the corridor.

The moment he entered, Yun Feng felt something unusual. The soul power within him seemed to slowly pulse to a peculiar rhythm.

The room was spacious and lofty, covering over two hundred square meters. Six fist-sized black stones were embedded in the walls.

They appeared to be made of the same material as the stones Su Yuntao had used to awaken martial souls in Holy Soul Village, and they were also the cause of the soul power stirring within Yun Feng.

A huge emblem was carved into the floor of the room. It resembled a badge, with a longsword hanging straight down and pointing toward the entrance.

The same emblem could be seen outside Spirit Hall's buildings.

Ma Xiunuo noticed Yun Feng staring at the patterns on the floor and smiled.

"This is only the lowest-ranking Spirit Hall, also known as a Spirit Hall Branch. Across the continent, even the smallest cities have Spirit Hall Branches of our scale."

"Higher-ranking Spirit Halls are generally found in major cities. For example, Snow City, where you're headed, has a Spirit Hall Main Hall."

"Between Spirit Hall Main Halls and Spirit Hall Branches, there is also the Spirit Hall Sub-Hall. Above that, at the fourth level, are the Spirit Hall Holy Halls found only in the capitals of the two great empires."

"At the fifth level is the Papal Hall in Spirit City, the most sacred place in all of Spirit Hall."

"As for the level above that—the legendary Douluo Hall—only Soul Masters who have reached the Douluo rank or higher may enter it. It is also the highest honor for Soul Masters registered with Spirit Hall."

Yun Feng nodded at this explanation of Spirit Hall's hierarchy. After all, much of his understanding had previously come only from novels.

"All right, Yun Feng, stand over here!"

Ma Xiunuo pointed to the very center of the room, his tone carrying a touch of seriousness.

Without hesitation, Yun Feng stepped into the central spot surrounded by the six black stones and quietly began to sense his surroundings.

Once Yun Feng was in position, Ma Xiunuo released his soul power and directly activated the black stones' guiding ability.

Soon, guided by Ma Xiunuo's soul power, golden light slowly poured into Yun Feng's body.

Yun Feng smiled when he saw the light. During his previous awakening, there had been no such golden radiance—only a few scattered specks of gold.

When Tang San awakened, meanwhile, golden light had filled the entire room.

Although Yun Feng's awakening was not nearly so spectacular now, it was already more than a hundred times better than before.

Moreover, Yun Feng could clearly feel that his previously unformed martial soul had now manifested.

"Child, quickly see what your martial soul is!"

There was a trace of excitement in Ma Xiunuo's voice. Such an impressive display definitely meant a top-tier martial soul, and his soul power would not be low either!

Seeing how excited Ma Xiunuo was, Yun Feng smiled. With a thought, he directly summoned his martial soul.

A massive phantom appeared behind Yun Feng.

A Young Dragon suddenly entered Ma Xiunuo's field of vision.

Ma Xiunuo's breath caught. He had clearly never expected such a martial soul! It was simply unbelievable! The only strange thing was that the dragon before him was completely different from the dragons he knew, yet the instant he saw it, the word "dragon" automatically surfaced in his mind.

Seeing Ma Xiunuo's reaction, Yun Feng also looked back at his own martial soul.

At that moment, Yun Feng finally understood why his martial soul awakening had failed before.

His martial soul was different from the Western dragons recognized in this world.

It was a dragon that had existed in the totems of his previous life!

He also understood why he had not possessed even the slightest trace of soul power. The moment his martial soul appeared, he sensed it.

His martial soul had absorbed all of his soul power in order to grow.

Yet even after absorbing it all, it had still remained in the form of a Young Dragon.

If Yun Feng had not obtained the Heaven Suppressing Stele and used Tang San and Tang Hao's bodies to absorb a great deal of soul power, this awakening might still have ended in failure.

But even as a Young Dragon, the aura it emitted was incomparably majestic.

"A dragon—it's actually a dragon! I just don't know what type it is. Child, hurry and test your soul power!"

As he spoke, Ma Xiunuo directly handed the Crystal Ball beside him to Yun Feng.

Yun Feng accepted it without hesitation. He was already quite familiar with the process by now.

He nodded firmly, then stretched out his left hand and placed it on the Crystal Ball.

A suction force immediately came from within the Crystal Ball, and Yun Feng could feel the soul power inside his body being drawn forth.

The Crystal Ball in his hand then burst into dazzling light.

When Ma Xiunuo saw that radiance, he nearly grinned himself silly. He had never expected that casually agreeing to one request would bring him such an enormous surprise.

"Innate Level 9 Soul Power! Child, you're incredible!"

When Yun Feng heard this, he was somewhat surprised. He had originally estimated it to be only around level four or five, but he hadn't expected it to be this high.

That meant the Heaven Suppressing Stele could no longer continue cultivating for now.

Otherwise, Yun Feng would have loved to do it a few more times on the spot.

Still, awakening his martial soul had more or less solved one of Yun Feng's problems.

After all, while he could cultivate using the Heaven Suppressing Stele and the cultivation techniques from his previous life, there was ultimately no spiritual energy in this world. He could only cultivate Soul Power.

Without a martial soul, once he reached level ten and encountered a bottleneck, that would be truly unbearable.

But for now, it was best to keep this ability of his hidden.

After all, anyone hostile toward him would be engraved upon the Heaven Suppressing Stele.

If Spirit Hall learned that Yun Feng could mass-produce Evil Spirit Masters, he did not need to think to know what kind of situation he would face.

So, before he possessed absolute strength, Yun Feng had no intention of revealing anything. Otherwise, never mind Tang Hao.

Even Tang San as he was now might be able to kill him with his concealed weapons.

After all, many of Yun Feng's methods were currently unusable.

So developing steadily was the true path! As for what kind of impact his arrival would cause?

Yun Feng did not care all that much.

After all, the reason fate was called fate was precisely because it could not be described, nor could it be observed!

Now that he possessed innate advantages far beyond Tang San's, who was to say the protagonist could not be replaced?

As for any consequences—let them go to hell!
