Origin Spirit Martial Soul (Contract Signed Successfully! Seeking Recommendation Tickets! Seeking Monthly Tickets!)

Jing Ziyuan and Lin Xin each rode a bicycle, carrying Jing Shaoyu and Na'er respectively, as the four of them left the orphanage amid laughter and cheerful chatter.

On the way, Lin Xin said to Jing Ziyuan with a sigh, "Director, I really didn't expect A Yu to be so talented. When are you planning to take him to the Spirit Pagoda to choose a Soul Spirit?"

"Tomorrow," Jing Ziyuan said after giving it some thought. "I need to meet with the administrator this afternoon. A Yu's talent is so exceptional that I have to choose a better Soul Spirit for him—at least a hundred-year one. Otherwise, if I delay his potential, I'll be guilty for the rest of my life."

"Mom, aren't Soul Spirits very expensive?" Listening to Jing Ziyuan and Lin Xin's conversation, Jing Shaoyu's expression could not help growing heavy. If he remembered correctly, Soul Spirits were extremely pricey and far from friendly to Soul Masters of ordinary backgrounds. Although Jing Ziyuan held a position with the Federal Government, a hundred-year Soul Spirit would probably drain all her savings, wouldn't it?

"Haha, don't worry, A Yu." Hearing Jing Shaoyu's concern, Jing Ziyuan smiled and explained, "Your mother is still a Federal Government employee, after all. Government employees get one chance to select a hundred-year Soul Spirit from the Spirit Pagoda for free. When the time comes, I'll add a little more money and make sure to choose the highest-quality Soul Spirit best suited for you!"

"But wouldn't that still cost a lot of money? If we spend it all on buying a Soul Spirit, how are we supposed to live afterward?" Jing Shaoyu was troubled. Of course, he understood how much an excellent Soul Spirit could help a Soul Master, but he also had to consider the family's livelihood. The downside of awakening his memories from a past life was that it had made him far too mature.

"A Yu, isn't there still me?" Lin Xin said as well. "Your Aunt Lin Xin may only be an ordinary person, but I've saved up a little over the decades. Supporting you and Na'er won't be a problem at all."

"That's right," Jing Ziyuan said. "A Yu, you don't need to worry about money. Oh, and once you become a Soul Master, you'll be able to receive the Federation's Soul Master Subsidy every month. It's fifteen hundred Federal Currency each month."

"Fifteen hundred Federal Currency? That really is a lot!" Jing Shaoyu's mouth twitched involuntarily. A ten-year Soul Spirit at the Spirit Pagoda cost seventy thousand Federal Currency, while a hundred-year Soul Spirit cost a full million. The monthly subsidy for Soul Masters was fifteen hundred—without eating or drinking, it would still take nearly four years to save enough for a ten-year Soul Spirit. As for a hundred-year one, it would be impossible without forty or fifty years.

No wonder the class divide among Soul Masters was growing wider and wider in this era.

"Brother, I still don't know what your Martial Soul is." Noticing Jing Shaoyu's unhappiness, Na'er immediately flashed a sweet smile and asked in a coquettish voice.

"Haha." Jing Shaoyu smiled again when he heard Na'er's words. "Brother's Martial Soul is a top-tier one. It's called the Origin Spirit!"

"Origin Spirit?" Confusion appeared on Na'er's face. "What kind of Martial Soul is that? A Beast Martial Soul?"

"You could classify it as a Beast Martial Soul." Jing Shaoyu sounded somewhat excited.

"Hehe, then when we get home, can Brother release it and let me see? I'm so curious!" Na'er looked at him with wide, expectant eyes.

"Of course!" How could Jing Shaoyu refuse?

That afternoon.

After Jing Ziyuan took Jing Shaoyu back to the orphanage, she set off again without a moment's delay for the Administrative Office of Aolai City.

In the orphanage courtyard, Jing Shaoyu was showing Na'er his Martial Soul while also truly experiencing it for the first time.

"Wow!" Na'er's mouth fell open, her pretty face full of amazement. "Brother, you look so good like this! So beautiful! You look just like a princess from a picture book!"

"Uh..." Jing Shaoyu's forehead darkened with lines as he corrected her, "Na'er, how many times have I told you? Brother is a boy. You can't use 'good-looking' and 'beautiful' to describe me!"

"But Brother really is beautiful!" Na'er gazed at Jing Shaoyu with innocent wide eyes.

"Cough, cough..." Jing Shaoyu felt a little awkward under Na'er's stare and could only clear his throat before changing the subject. "Has anything else changed about Brother?"

After Martial Soul Possession, Jing Shaoyu had only noticed that his hair had become longer and green. The rest of his body did not seem to have changed at all. Since he did not want to look in a mirror right now, he could only ask Na'er.

"Yes! Brother's ears became pointy and long." Na'er rested a small hand beneath her chin, examining him carefully.

"My ears became pointy and long?" Jing Shaoyu could not help reaching up to touch his ears. Sure enough, they were just as Na'er had described. A thought came to him, and he muttered, "Could I really be an elf?"

"Also, Brother's eyes turned blue, and there's a vertical purple line here." Na'er continued, reaching out to touch Jing Shaoyu's brow with her small hand.

"I see. I think I understand now." Based on Na'er's description, Jing Shaoyu gradually connected his appearance with the feedback from his Martial Soul, and an understanding smile appeared on his face.

"Oh, and there's a round ring behind Brother's head, about the size of a plate. It looks like a green gemstone—sparkly and shiny." Na'er added, her large eyes gleaming with longing as she stared at the ring behind Jing Shaoyu's head.

"That? That's the Crown of Nature. It's an important part of Brother's Martial Soul!" Jing Shaoyu explained with a smile.

The Crown of Nature was an emerald-like ring floating behind Jing Shaoyu's head. Crystal clear, flawless, and perfectly even in texture, it resembled a meticulously polished work of art. It was one of the most important core components of the Origin Spirit Martial Soul.

As for his Origin Spirit Martial Soul, the inherited knowledge Jing Shaoyu had gained upon awakening was fairly limited. However, one thing was certain: the Origin Spirit Martial Soul's origins were both mysterious and extraordinary, vaguely connected to the natural world of Douluo Star.

This was because, when Jing Shaoyu used Martial Soul Possession, his most direct sensation was the Origin Spirit's vigorous, majestic, endless, ocean-like life force, as well as its exceptionally keen perception and insight into the life energy between heaven and earth.

However, what left Jing Shaoyu somewhat helpless was that the Origin Spirit Martial Soul's Soul Power was extremely mild—one could even call it gentle—and possessed outstanding healing abilities. Even without any soul skills, he seemed capable of healing minor injuries and ailments with Soul Power alone.

That meant that if he wanted to fully bring out the Origin Spirit Martial Soul's talents and abilities, the best choice would be to become a Healer Soul Master.

To be honest, Jing Shaoyu did not particularly want to become a Healer Soul Master, but neither was he especially opposed to it. Leaving aside the fact that the Origin Spirit Martial Soul's talents included more than healing alone, the other Martial Soul hidden within his body already gave him room to choose another path.

That was right—Jing Shaoyu had another Martial Soul. In other words, he possessed Twin Martial Souls! Although he had not yet released that Martial Soul, he could sense that it was an extremely offensive Item Martial Soul. He planned to release it while bathing that night and inspect it carefully.

"Crown of Nature? What is that?" Na'er asked curiously.

"How should I put it? Brother doesn't know how to explain it to you. How about I show you directly?" Jing Shaoyu scratched his head.

"Okay, okay!" Na'er clapped her hands in delight.

"Then, Na'er, come with me." A mischievous smile appeared on Jing Shaoyu's face.

"Okay!" Completely unsuspecting, Na'er followed Jing Shaoyu to the swing beneath the old locust tree in the courtyard. At Jing Shaoyu's urging, she sat on the swing.

"Watch closely!" Jing Shaoyu said with a grin. He stretched out his right hand, and a streak of emerald-green light shot from his fingertips, landing precisely on the locust tree. Then, several slender, tender green vines suddenly sprouted from the ancient tree's aged branches. A few fresh green leaves hung from the vines, which bound Na'er's body before she could react.

"Ah!" Na'er let out a frightened scream, her little face filled with panic and fear. Her tiny body struggled constantly, but though the vines binding her were slender, they were tough and remained tightly wrapped around her. The little girl was genuinely terrified. With a tremble in her voice, she called to Jing Shaoyu, "Brother, save me!"
