Now looking back, Oscar is the perfect face-slapping master.

Compared to the original work, the manga's setting is much more complete, with Oscar's Martial Soul set as the God of Cookery.

And looking at Oscar's Martial Soul in the original work, his cultivation relies entirely on Oscar's innate full Soul Power, and Oscar himself is very persevering, risking his life as a support-type Soul Master to be worthy of Ning Rongrong.

To be honest, the couples in the original work all give the feeling that the men are not good enough for the women, but Oscar and Ning Rongrong, on the contrary, make Ning Rongrong seem a bit unworthy of Oscar.

Getting off topic, Xu Wenlong quickly came back to his senses.

Because the Martial Soul Awakening was starting.

"Martial Soul Sand, Innate Soul Power 0.1"

"Next, Martial Soul Eggplant, Innate Soul Power 0.2"

"Next, Martial Soul Grass, Innate Soul Power 0.1"

One after another, people went up full of expectation and came down full of disappointment.

According to theory, to become a Soul Master, one needs at least an Innate Soul Power of no less than level one.

Like a certain master, with only half a level of Innate Soul Power, he can never break through the thirtieth level in his entire life.

You need to know, that master is the son of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan leader, possessing countless natural treasures, and even with Bi Bi Dong's help in the Spirit Hall, he was only infused to the twenty-ninth level even after being nourished with so many things in his thirties.

But ordinary people, where would they have that kind of background? Who would be willing to give so many good things to someone with an Innate Soul Power of level one or below?

Not everyone is Huo Yuhao, who can open cheats so powerfully.

Although in theory, a Soul Master's Innate Soul Power only concerns their cultivation speed.

Although everyone in Douluo Continent has a Martial Soul and Innate Soul Power, the vast majority of people's Innate Soul Power does not exceed level one, which means that even if they work hard, they probably won't even reach the level of a Soul Master in their entire lives.

Moreover, most Martial Souls are inherited, and those so-called mutated Martial Souls, even if they mutate, are mostly malignant mutations.

Soon, it was Xu Wenlong's turn for the Martial Soul Awakening.

Although Xu Wenlong mentally and verbally believed that he was somewhat of a genius with innate full Soul Power, when it came to his turn, Xu Wenlong still hesitated.

Because no matter what, awakening one's Martial Soul is the most important day in a person's life in Douluo Continent, and this is something Xu Wenlong cannot escape or change.

Xu Wenlong made up his mind, took a step forward, and solemnly extended his hand.

The light of the Awakening Stone appeared in the eyes of everyone present.

"This..."

Suddenly, a gale arose, and even the sun seemed to be blocked, and the entire world was shrouded in black.

The only thing that survived was the light emitted by the small Awakening Stone in this village.

The young Soul Master was shocked, what exactly was going on?

The only thing the young Soul Master could think of was:

"Could it be this child's Martial Soul?"

The young Soul Master immediately felt that he had struck gold, after all, recommending a genius to enter the Spirit Hall would definitely bring great merit.

Before the young Soul Master could overthink, the anomaly occurred again.

The sweeping gale grew stronger, accompanied by a buzzing sound.

"Wait, a buzzing sound?"

Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz!

It turned out that the sun wasn't being obscured by dark clouds, but by a locust plague formed by a swarm of locusts with no visible end!

The villagers of Eggplant Village also witnessed this scene, looking shocked, because the arrival of a locust plague was often accompanied by hunger and famine!

And the light in Xu Wenlong's hand finally came to an end, the locust plague also fleeting like a meteor.

This is...

The young Soul Master looked expectantly at the Martial Soul displayed in Xu Wenlong's hand.

It was a green locust.

The small locust lay quietly in Xu Wenlong's palm.

The young Soul Master didn't understand either, was that all that big commotion was for?

But soon the young Soul Master calmed down and took out the Soul Power testing stone.

"Come, put your other hand on it to test your Soul Power."

Soul Power not only represents a person's cultivation speed and upper limit, but also generally represents the quality of the Martial Soul.

To give an example, a certain Grandmaster's normal Martial Soul should actually be the Golden Sacred Dragon, but the Grandmaster himself only has half a level of Soul Power, unable to support the true manifestation of the Golden Sacred Dragon, so it can only appear in the form of Luo Sanpao.

Oscar, on the other hand, is a completely different picture. Sausage is trash, but Oscar is awesome, so his Innate Full Soul Power is just because Oscar himself is amazing.

From this, it can be concluded that a Martial Soul with high quality does not necessarily have high Innate Soul Power, but someone with high Innate Soul Power can definitely bring up the Martial Soul.

So, what Xu Wenlong's Martial Soul is really like depends on this step.

"Your Innate Soul Power is—"

Xu Wenlong, the young Soul Master, and the villagers all looked on with anticipation.

Level One!?

Insect-type Martial Souls are not very good to begin with, plant-type Martial Souls that are a little better can be used as control-type Soul Masters, and the stronger ones can even be said to be treasures of heaven and earth and can also be auxiliary-type Soul Masters.

Not to mention beast Soul Masters, strong attack, agility, tank, they have everything.

Looking at the insect type again, not to say anything, but there really aren't any powerful insect-type Soul Masters on this continent.

Even if it's a poisonous beast, using poison is fine, look at the Five Venoms, and the current Pope Bi Bi Dong's Martial Soul is also a poisonous spider, but if you say it's a locust...

It's not suitable as a strong attacker, can't withstand as a tank, auxiliary... are you going to fry it? Although it smells good when fried.

The only thing that's possible is to be an agile Soul Master, but there's also an important thing, how does a small Martial Soul like a locust perform Martial Soul Avatar...

Looking at Xu Wenlong in front of him, the young Soul Master still felt he should comfort him.

"Innate Soul Power Level One, you can become a Soul Master, although there are no insect Martial Soul Soul Masters who have made a name for themselves on the continent, so I hope you can become the first!"

The young Soul Master revealed a forced, comforting smile as he spoke.

The young Soul Master's words were not only directed at Xu Wenlong but also at Eggplant Village.

"I remember your village has a work-study student quota, right? Among this year's batch of children, he's the only one qualified to become a Soul Master. Today's task of awakening Martial Souls is also complete, so I'll be leaving."

The young Soul Master uncharacteristically said a few more words. Although Xu Wenlong's Martial Soul wasn't great, with only level one innate Soul Power, the impression he left was extremely profound. So, after saying a few words to the village, he mounted his horse and left.

The village chief saw him off, leaving Eggplant Village, and then turned back to look at Xu Wenlong.

Unlike the others who had awakened their Martial Souls and left upon discovering they had no talent, Xu Wenlong was still standing there.

"A Long, wake up, it's time to go."

The village chief patted Xu Wenlong's shoulder and left first, leaning on his crutch.

But Xu Wenlong's world was completely different at this moment because Xu Wenlong heard a mechanical female voice.

"Great Shocker System has been activated!"
