Two Blue Silver Grasses?

Two Blue Silver Grasses?

Su Yuntao then took out the Spirit Hall awakening tools from the original story: six pitch-black round stones and a shining blue crystal ball. He arranged the six stones into the shape of a hexagram.

He then pulled the first child into the middle of the hexagram and said, "Don't be afraid. Close your eyes and feel carefully."

Then he gave a soft shout. "Lone Wolf, possess me."

The legendary husky... ah, no, the Lone Wolf Martial Soul instantly enveloped Su Yuntao's body.

The child standing at the front was so frightened that he wailed, and the other children were badly frightened as well. Only Yin Hao and Tang San, standing at the back, showed no signs of fear, which made Su Yuntao think more highly of them.

But that was all. After glancing at them once, he stopped paying attention to the two and turned to the child in the hexagram formation, who had already been scared silly.

"Child, stretch out your right hand."

The boy nodded and opened his right hand. After a burst of shimmering light, a scythe appeared in his hand. Unsurprisingly, that was his Martial Soul.

Su Yuntao frowned. "It's a tool Martial Soul. Can a scythe be used as a weapon? Barely, I suppose. Come, child. Let's test your Soul Power."

Under his guidance, the boy placed his hand on the crystal ball. After waiting for a while, the crystal ball did not change in the slightest.

Su Yuntao shook his head in slight disappointment.

"No Soul Power. You can't become a Soul Master. Go stand to the side. Next."

A little girl then stepped forward, and the same procedure began again.

"Martial Soul: Hoe."

"Soul Power: none. Next."

"Martial Soul: Wildflower."

"Soul Power: none. Next..."

As the children nervously stepped forward one by one, then left in disappointment, it was soon Yin Hao and Tang San's turn.

Tang San, standing behind him, tugged Yin Hao's arm.

"Hao Ge, it'll be our turn soon. What kind of Martial Souls do you think we'll awaken?"

"Who knows? But Martial Souls are mostly inherited from one's parents. Uncle Tang Hao is a blacksmith, so you should awaken something like a hammer Martial Soul."

Tang San nodded. He still did not know what his father's Martial Soul was. As for his mother, he had never even heard of her.

Another child finished awakening his Martial Soul.

"Your Martial Soul is a Shovel. No Soul Power. Next."

Su Yuntao was somewhat disappointed. None of the children from the surrounding villages had tested positive for Soul Power. This village would probably be no different.

Though he thought so, he still called for the next child with a trace of hope.

Yin Hao stepped forward and greeted Su Yuntao first.

"Hello, big brother."

Su Yuntao smiled and rubbed Yin Hao's head. When he had summoned his Martial Soul earlier, this child had been one of the few who had not been afraid. He was even so polite, which made Su Yuntao feel a little fondness for him.

"Come on, little brother. Step inside."

Yin Hao nodded and walked into the center of the hexagram formation. As a flash of light passed—

Yin Hao suddenly felt a warm sensation rise within his body, continuously striking against some sort of barrier. Then, the barrier seemed to break, and that warm aura shifted from inside his body to his palm.

No... not just one palm. Yin Hao could clearly feel another force within his body besides the one in his palm!

Twin Martial Souls!

The words surfaced in Yin Hao's mind, but he did not show his joy. Instead, he quietly suppressed that force within his body and raised his right hand.

"Little brother, open your right hand."

Yin Hao nodded. As he opened his right palm, specks of light radiated from it.

The smile on Su Yuntao's face could no longer be hidden when he saw this. This light, this scene—no matter what, it had to be an advanced Martial Soul, right? If he could bring this child to Spirit Hall, that would be a major achievement!

When the palm fully opened, the Martial Soul revealed itself as well. A stalk of Blue Silver Grass, thicker than ordinary Blue Silver Grass and covered in golden patterns, emerged from his hand.

The smile on Su Yuntao's face instantly froze. I'd already started thinking about what I'd do after getting promoted, and now you're telling me my achievement is gone?

But the changes did not seem to be over—not changes in the Martial Soul, but changes in Yin Hao himself.

As the unusual "Blue Silver Grass" appeared in Yin Hao's palm, his hair gradually grew longer. His original ear-length hairstyle instantly extended, and its color changed from black to blue. His wheat-colored skin began to fade, becoming as pale as white jade in only a few seconds.

Anyone with even a little intelligence who saw Yin Hao's transformation would have guessed that there was something special about this Martial Soul.

But who was Su Yuntao? The famous Blind Douluo. He had apparently gone stupid from reading too many Martial Soul manuals. Once he saw that Yin Hao's Martial Soul was "Blue Silver Grass," he lost all interest, his eyes filled with disappointment.

"Martial Soul: Blue Silver Grass. You can go... forget it, let's test your Soul Power anyway."

Su Yuntao had not even planned to test Yin Hao's Soul Power. After all, he had done this job for so many years and had never seen Blue Silver Grass with Soul Power. But considering how polite Yin Hao was, he decided to go through the proper procedure after all.

"Come, little brother. Put your hand on this."

Yin Hao nodded and placed his hand on it as Su Yuntao instructed. The entire crystal ball instantly lit up. In the blink of an eye, the points of light rapidly spread until the whole crystal ball was illuminated, giving off a dazzling radiance.

Su Yuntao froze for a moment, then looked at Yin Hao, who had already lowered his hand.

"Innate Full Soul Power? It's actually Innate Full Soul Power?"

Before Yin Hao could speak, Tang San behind him spoke first.

"Big brother, what is Innate Full Soul Power?"

Su Yuntao took two deep breaths to calm himself down, then, just as in the original story, explained to everyone what Innate Soul Power was.

Then he looked at Yin Hao with a complicated expression. A genius with Innate Full Soul Power—if only he had a slightly better Martial Soul, it would have been a fine achievement. Maybe he could have used that achievement to get promoted and receive a raise, then marry the goddess Si Si.

But... how could his Martial Soul be Blue Silver Grass? What was a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul? It was one of the most useless Martial Souls recognized by all!

The achievement that had been right in front of him was just gone.

At that moment, Su Yuntao felt as though he had eaten two pounds of something disgusting. He felt sick beyond belief.

He turned to Yin Hao and said,

"Little brother, you have Innate Full Soul Power, but unfortunately, you have a useless Martial Soul. Otherwise, you definitely could have made something of yourself in the future. But now... sigh..."

Yin Hao nodded after hearing this and prepared to move to the side.

After thinking about it, Su Yuntao still stopped Yin Hao. He removed the token hanging from his waist and handed it to him.

"This is my token. If you need anything, you can come find me at the Spirit Hall Sub-Hall in Notting City."

Yin Hao froze for a moment, but he still accepted the token. It was a black token with the character "Su" written on it.

Yin Hao then nodded and said,

"Thank you, big brother."

Su Yuntao smiled as well and waved Yin Hao over to the side.
