Innate Soul Power Off the Charts!

"What the hell? I can't even lift my own Spirit! Am I some hammer god who can't lift his own hammer?" Yun Chuan was utterly dumbfounded when he found that, no matter what he did, he could not lift the little hammer. The scene looked far too much like Thor being unable to lift his own hammer in a Marvel movie.

"Do I need to meet some condition before I can lift it? Could it be that I need to attach a spirit ring first?" All sorts of possibilities ran through his mind.

"T-Twin Spirits!" At that moment, one of the attendants in the hall could not help crying out!

But no one else had the leisure to notice his loss of composure. Their gazes were all fixed behind Yun Chuan, and they even ignored the little hammer on the ground in front of him, despite its explosive visual effects.

Seeing everyone's reaction—and even Bibi Dong staring behind him with eyes full of astonishment—Yun Chuan immediately realized something. He slowly turned to look behind himself.

A woman in flowing robes came into view.

She appeared to be around eighteen or nineteen. Her long azure hair cascaded down her back, while a vibrant emerald-green dress brimming with life covered her body. Her noble and elegant bearing accentuated a face too beautiful to belong to the mortal world. Her deep-blue eyes were flawless like blue crystals, gathering all the beauty of heaven and earth as though she were the center of the world itself. In that instant, everything else lost its color before her breathtaking beauty!

"This is... my other Spirit?!" Yun Chuan murmured blankly.

No wonder everyone had ignored the Golden Hammer with all its effects turned up to the max. Compared to this beauty of a Spirit, who would be willing to look away just to stare at a hammer?

Then he noticed that this beautiful Spirit seemed to be holding some kind of plant in her hand.

Looking closer, it was actually a Blue Silver Grass!

An ordinary Blue Silver Grass found everywhere?!

Yun Chuan finally understood. In the original story, Tang San possessed the Twin Spirits of Blue Silver Grass and Clear Sky Hammer. As his twin brother, there was no reason for Yun Chuan to be inferior to him. What was more, he had a cheat that had strengthened his Innate Talent while he was still in the womb!

So the Golden Hammer Spirit with its effects maxed out and this beautiful Spirit holding Blue Silver Grass were clearly evolved, upgraded versions of the Clear Sky Hammer and Blue Silver Grass!

One look was enough to tell that they were far more powerful than the Blue Silver Grass and Clear Sky Hammer—not just by a little.

"Since they're evolved and upgraded Spirits, they can't keep being called Clear Sky Hammer and Blue Silver Grass. I need to give them new, badass names!" Yun Chuan began pondering.

He first looked at the little Golden Hammer, its hammerhead embedded in the floor and its handle slanting upward, with effects nearly maxed out. Looking at the blazing white light shining from its body, the raging crimson flames, and the arcs of electricity constantly crackling around it...

"With such a domineering appearance... this hammer shall be called the Heaven-Shattering, Earth-Rending, Thunderbolt, Flashing, Blazing Supreme Clear Sky Hammer!"

"For short: the Supreme Clear Sky Hammer!"

Yun Chuan was extremely pleased with the flashy name he had chosen. He had not picked it at random—the long name basically encompassed all the traits this hammer possessed.

Then he turned to the floating woman behind him. Looking at her long azure hair, ocean-blue eyes, and yet an emerald-green dress representing life, along with the utterly ordinary Blue Silver Grass in her right hand...

"This appearance... she's clearly a Plant Goddess holding Blue Silver Grass!"

"Then she'll simply be called—the Plant Goddess!"

And just like that, Yun Chuan settled on names for his two Spirits. They were his Spirits, after all. He could call them whatever he wanted.

The Golden Hammer would be called the Heaven-Shattering, Earth-Rending, Thunderbolt, Flashing, Blazing Supreme Clear Sky Hammer!

The blue-haired beauty would be called the Plant Goddess!

"Come back!"

With a thought, the dignified and noble Plant Goddess, who radiated boundless love for all living things, transformed into a beam of light and returned to his body. The Supreme Clear Sky Hammer beside him, which had crashed onto the ground and was continuously crackling with lightning and flames, also gradually faded into a beam of light and returned to his body.

Thus, the two great Spirits returned to their places!

After Yun Chuan put away his Spirits, everyone else finally snapped out of their daze. Bibi Dong, in particular, waved at him delightedly. "Chuan Er, come over and test your soul power."

Yun Chuan hurried over to her. At that moment, Bibi Dong took out a huge Crystal Ball. This Crystal Ball was clearly different from the ordinary ones that could only test up to Level 10 soul power. It should be capable of testing a higher level of soul power.

"The quality of one's Innate Soul Power is directly proportional to the quality of one's Spirit. The stronger the Spirit, the higher the Innate Soul Power!" Looking at the Crystal Ball before him, he knew this was the moment that would determine his fate!

Just how many levels of soul power would he have?

Would it be the ordinary full Innate Level 10?

Or would it be like Qian Renxue's, with a Spirit beyond all convention—Innate Level 20 soul power?

Feeling somewhat nervous, Yun Chuan stretched out his little hand and slowly placed it on the massive Crystal Ball. He felt a pulling force, and the abundant soul power that had filled his body after awakening his Spirits immediately surged into the Crystal Ball!

Bibi Dong and the surrounding attendants all fixed their gazes on the Crystal Ball, continuously guessing how many levels of soul power he possessed.

Twin Spirits, and both of them looked extraordinarily unusual. At the very least, he should have Innate Level 10 as a baseline. He might even have a dozen or more levels—or perhaps the Innate Level 20 exclusive to God-rank Spirits!

Bang!

The next moment, the Crystal Ball capable of testing Innate Level 20 soul power exploded with a bang!

"..."

The entire hall fell silent!

Even Yun Chuan himself was startled. What was going on? Why had the Crystal Ball exploded? Could it be that his soul power had surpassed Innate Level 20?

After a moment of silence.

Bibi Dong was the first to recover from her shock. Her gaze first swept coldly over the many attendants around them. Everyone other than Yun Chuan felt a chill run through their hearts beneath her stare. They understood that the Pope was warning them not to spread word of what had happened today.

Everyone present understood what soul power suspected to have surpassed Innate Level 20 represented. It meant he possessed talent surpassing even the Angel Spirit!

And if such supreme talent were made public, it would undoubtedly bring Yun Chuan certain negative consequences. People from hostile factions, in particular, would likely do everything in their power to erase this future enemy.

He would naturally be safe within Spirit City, but Yun Chuan could not possibly remain in Spirit City for the rest of his life. And once he left Spirit City, it was foreseeable that people coming to assassinate this Spirit Hall genius would arrive in an endless stream!

That would obviously do him no good whatsoever!

Therefore, information regarding Yun Chuan's Spirits and Innate Soul Power absolutely could not be allowed to spread!

And most importantly, Spirit Hall itself was not a monolith. Although Bibi Dong was the Pope, there were quite a few within Spirit Hall who disliked her and did not want to see her grow any stronger. Their factions differed, and both sides wanted to weaken the other's power.

As her adopted son, Yun Chuan was undoubtedly part of Bibi Dong's faction. Therefore, it was entirely possible that members of other factions harbored thoughts of killing this peerless genius.

After all, since ancient times, internal strife had been part of human nature.

So, for Yun Chuan's safety... Bibi Dong looked at the attendants around her, and a faint killing intent flashed through her beautiful eyes!
