Random Spirit Soul, Tyrant Barak!

The children who had been crying and fussing earlier calmed down the moment they were enveloped by that pale golden light. They stood there blankly. Wu Liang understood that their Spirit Souls were about to awaken, but aside from the three of them, no one present could cultivate.

Golden specks of light floated out from the black stones on the ground and entered the boy's body.

The boy's body began to tremble slightly. He wanted to cry out, but no sound came out.

"Hold out your right hand." Su Yuntao fixed his dark green eyes on the boy and gave the command sternly.

The boy subconsciously held out his right hand. At once, all the light specks surged forth, and in an instant, a sickle appeared in his palm.

It did not look like an illusory projection of light, but something that truly existed.

Su Yuntao frowned. "A Weapon Spirit. A sickle can be used as a weapon, I suppose. Barely."

The golden light gradually faded. The boy stared at the small sickle in his hand in surprise, not knowing what to do.

Su Yuntao said, "Your Spirit Soul is a sickle, a Weapon Spirit. Come, let me see whether you have Soul Power. If you do, then even with a Weapon Spirit, you can cultivate as a Battle Spirit Master. After all, a sickle does have some attack power."

"M-Master, what should I do?" the boy asked timidly.

Su Yuntao said calmly, "Use your mind to withdraw your Spirit Soul. When you want to use it again in the future, summon it with your mind as well."

It took the boy quite a while before he finally withdrew the sickle in his hand. Su Yuntao held the Blue Crystal Ball before him, signaling for him to place his right hand on it.

The boy's tiny hand and Su Yuntao's wolf claw rested above and below the crystal ball respectively, making for an especially stark contrast.

A moment later, Su Yuntao said disappointedly, "No Soul Power. You can't become a Spirit Master. Go stand to the side."

Just like the original story, Wu Liang thought.

The same scene continued to play out. Five more children awakened their Spirit Souls one after another. Their Spirit Souls were all farming tools such as hoes and sickles. Not a single Beast Spirit appeared, and Su Yuntao determined that none of them possessed Soul Power.

It was the seventh child's turn. After continuously using Soul Power, Su Yuntao seemed somewhat tired, but he still intended to complete the awakening process for all ten children.

The golden specks gathered. This time, it was finally no longer a farming tool. Something different appeared. A small pale-blue blade of grass swayed gently in the girl's palm.

Though it was not a farming tool, the disappointment in Su Yuntao's eyes became even more obvious. "A useless Spirit Soul. No attack power, no defense, no support abilities. Blue Silver Grass is practically the standard form of a useless Spirit Soul." As he spoke, he handed the Blue Crystal Ball to the girl according to procedure. Just as he had expected, no Soul Power appeared.

At last, it was Kanna's turn. She skipped happily into the circle.

As Su Yuntao injected six streams of Soul Power, the pale golden light lit up once more.

Kanna felt warm all over, like how she felt when she wanted to eat little cookies. It made her very happy.

As the Soul Power continued to flow in, blue-white arcs of lightning began to flicker around Kanna. Suddenly, a massive white dragon appeared behind her. Its entire body was snow-white, covered in feathers, its wings spread wide as it raised its head and roared.

Looking at the elegant white dragon behind Kanna, Su Yuntao could not help feeling a little pressure. Suppressing the unease in his heart, he carried the Blue Crystal Ball over to Kanna and said, "Little sister, put your hand on the crystal ball."

Kanna nodded and groggily placed her hand on it. Suddenly, the Blue Crystal Ball shone with a dazzling light. Su Yuntao's eyes widened. Innate ninth-level Soul Power—she was just one step away from Innate Full Soul Power. This was—

"Little sister, your Spirit Soul is a dragon-type Beast Spirit, and you have innate ninth-level Soul Power. Do you have any interest in joining Spirit Hall? If you join Spirit Hall, you will definitely receive the best treatment and the best allocation of resources—"

By the end, Su Yuntao was so excited that he began waving his arms around.

"No. Kanna won't leave A-Liang." Kanna refused without the slightest hesitation, withdrew her Spirit Soul, and walked over to Wu Liang's side.

Wu Liang merely smiled at Kanna and said nothing.

"Alright then, next." Su Yuntao was a little stunned by how decisively Kanna had rejected him.

Wu Liang stepped into the circle, and Su Yuntao immediately poured Soul Power into it.

As Su Yuntao injected six streams of Soul Power, the pale golden light lit up once more.

Wu Liang could feel the Soul Power entering his body. It was somewhat comfortable, but not exactly exhilarating. Then Seria's voice rang out in his mind again.

Seria: "Host awakening initiated. Randomizing Spirit Soul."

Seria: "Congratulations, Host. You have obtained the Spirit Soul: Tyrant Barak."

Seria: "Host has received his mother's legacy: Spirit Soul: Heavenly Phoenix Facing The Sun Flower."

As the notifications ended, Wu Liang completed his awakening. However, he had to release at least one Spirit Soul. Thus, Wu Liang summoned the Tyrant.

"Tyrant's Descent, Barak!" Wu Liang shouted inwardly. A burly figure appeared behind him, half-transparent and clad in purple-black armor, with a cape on its back and a serrated greatsword in its hand.

Wu Liang turned to look at the burly figure. Barak's blood-red eyes looked back at him. Their gazes met, and that moment seemed eternal. Then, Barak suddenly spoke. "I am Barak, Monarch of the Dark Elves. The world calls me the Tyrant. You have led me back. I shall accompany you as you grow."

Wu Liang was stunned, but when he looked again, Barak stood before him like a statue. His eyes had returned to black, as if everything just now had been an illusion.

As Wu Liang examined his own Spirit Soul, the pressure in Su Yuntao's heart grew even heavier. Still, he forced himself forward and held the Blue Crystal Ball before Wu Liang. "Kid, test your Soul Power Level."

Wu Liang turned around and placed his hand on the crystal ball. Immediately, Soul Power surged into the crystal ball of its own accord. The crystal ball once again emitted a powerful radiance, even more dazzling than Kanna's.

Su Yuntao did not even need to look to know that this was the sign of Innate Full Soul Power. He could only ask awkwardly, "Wu Liang, right? You—"

Wu Liang knew what he wanted to say and cut him off before he could finish. "Give up on that idea. I won't join Spirit Hall."

"Uh..." Su Yuntao, the poor tool, felt his heart clog up. Helplessly, he could only say, "Next."

Tang San was also stunned by Kanna's and Wu Liang's Spirit Souls. Why did both of them look so powerful? What would his own Spirit Soul be?

Tang San stepped forward and stood in the center of the six black stones.

As Su Yuntao injected six streams of Soul Power, the pale golden light lit up yet, yet, yet again.

Warmth. That was Tang San's first sensation. His entire body seemed to be wrapped in a warm world, indescribably comfortable. No wonder the children had calmed down the moment they were enveloped in that golden light.

The warm aura seeped into his body. Tang San could clearly sense that the internal energy of his Mysterious Heaven Skill seemed to stir slightly. Then, guided by that warm energy, something inside his body seemed to shatter. All the warm aura surged toward his palm in an instant.

Su Yuntao's eyes suddenly lit up, because within the golden barrier, the golden specks that appeared this time were even more numerous than all the previous children's combined. He vaguely felt that a remarkably powerful Spirit Soul was about to emerge. His excitement was plain to see.

For Spirit Hall deacons like them, who were responsible for awakening ordinary people's Spirit Souls, awakening another child with extraordinary potential and bringing them into Spirit Hall would earn them significant credit and greatly benefit their chances of promotion.

However, Su Yuntao was soon disappointed.

Tang San subconsciously raised his right hand. What he saw was blue. That same blue had already appeared for the second time today in this village's Spirit Hall.

Blue Silver Grass—the exact same Blue Silver Grass as the girl before him. The standard example of a useless Spirit Soul.

Su Yuntao said helplessly, "Another useless Spirit Soul. Looks like this trip to Holy Soul Village was a waste of time too. Two geniuses, yet neither is willing to join Spirit Hall. Alright, children, you may leave." The huge number of golden specks had initially given him great hope, but it turned out to be nothing more than Blue Silver Grass. The sense of disparity left Su Yuntao rather annoyed.

"Uncle, you haven't tested my Soul Power yet." Seeing Su Yuntao about to put away the Blue Crystal Ball, Tang San hurriedly reminded him.

Without even turning around, Su Yuntao said, "There's no need to test it. I've never seen anyone with Soul Power from a useless Spirit Soul like Blue Silver Grass."

"You should let him try. I'm certain he has Soul Power. That light just now couldn't have been fake," Wu Liang said.

Tang San gave Wu Liang a grateful look. "Let me try, Uncle," he insisted. When the warmth brought by the golden light circulated through his body, it gave him a very strange feeling. That opened door made him feel as though his Mysterious Heaven Skill had undergone a subtle change. At the same time, he wanted to know just what the difference was between his internal energy and this world's Spirit Souls.

Su Yuntao paused before turning around to meet Tang San's calm yet determined gaze. This child seems somewhat different, he thought.

"Alright." Testing Soul Power would not waste much time. As he spoke, he handed the Blue Crystal Ball to Tang San.

Following the method Su Yuntao had taught them earlier, Tang San controlled his Blue Silver Grass and withdrew it into his body. He found it was not difficult. He only needed to withdraw his power the same way he controlled the Mysterious Heaven Skill. At the same time, he noticed that when the Blue Silver Grass appeared, it seemed to emerge from his Mysterious Heaven Skill as well, as though the little blue grass had condensed from it.

The moment his palm touched the Blue Crystal Ball, Tang San's body shook violently. To his surprise, he discovered that the beautiful-looking Blue Crystal Ball possessed an immense suction force. His internal energy seemed to have found an outlet and poured forth in a raging torrent. He tried to break free, but he could not escape that overwhelming pull no matter what he did.

Su Yuntao was equally shocked. Just as he thought this final Soul Power test in Holy Soul Village was merely a formality, the Blue Crystal Ball in his hand suddenly lit up. Dazzling blue light spread instantly from a single point. In the blink of an eye, the crystal ball sparkled like a resplendent gemstone. A faint blue halo shone from it, indescribably captivating.
