Storm Battle Axe

Village Chief Jack and Yun Xiao Tian were on their way back.

Village Chief Jack's face was practically blooming with joy.

"Grandpa Jack, what are you laughing about?" Yun Xiao Feng thought something might be wrong with Grandpa Jack, so he asked.

"Not bad, little fellow! You actually beat Little San that badly. Looks like this old man underestimated you." Village Chief Jack gave Yun Xiao Feng a rather strange look.

The circumstances under which he had found Yun Xiao Feng were simply too strange. He had no idea what to do about it. Yet he had never expected this little fellow not to worry at all that he might be a bad person.

He had even given him many Gold Soul Coins so the children in the village who had yet to undergo Spirit Awakening could eat better. Perhaps they would awaken good Martial Souls when the time came!

If this really worked, then next time, they would definitely have to prepare much earlier.

Putting all this together, Village Chief Jack even felt that this child was a gift Heaven had bestowed upon Holy Soul Village.

"Little fellow, do you know? In our Holy Soul Village, that Tang San boy has always been a loner. None of the other children play with him.

"And he seems to have been born with extraordinary strength. You two had a fight, but somehow, I feel like you were the one who won." Village Chief Jack's reasoning was truly formidable.

"Grandpa Jack, my strength is naturally pretty great too." As he spoke, Yun Xiao Feng raised his right arm in an extremely pretentious attempt to show off his bicep.

Unfortunately, he was too young for anything to show.

"You brat. Come home with me. Hmph, you're not allowed outside tomorrow, in case you go fight that little brat Tang San again." Village Chief Jack scolded Yun Xiao Feng a few times.

Then the grandfather and grandson strolled back to the village chief's house.

Yun Xiao Feng knew that Village Chief Jack meant well. It looked as though he had lost the fight with Tang San, but in truth, he had not been hurt at all. It had all been an act.

Those terribly swollen surface injuries that looked so frightening were merely an illusion he had produced with the Nine Yang Manual.

But Tang San's panda eyes were completely real!

It could be said that after Yun Xiao Feng awakened his Martial Soul, he would only become more handsome.

Because he would not only awaken his Martial Soul, but also his bloodline—the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline!

That was a bloodline even higher-tier than the Blue Silver Emperor. If he himself had not been an existence that could never die in the desert, then no matter what, he would not have survived.

But who the hell would go fool around in a desert for no reason?

He just did not know whether, after awakening the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline, Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline would be suppressed.

Still, Yun Xiao Feng felt that something was off.

Because given his system, there was definitely another trap waiting for him—and it would probably be a big one.

"Little fellow, hurry up. The Lord Soul Master from Spirit Hall will soon arrive to awaken your Martial Souls." Village Chief Jack was incredibly excited early that morning!

He was even more excited than if he were awakening his own Martial Soul.

Seeing that it was about time, Yun Xiao Feng prepared to head out. Under Village Chief Jack's care these past days, he had felt that life was quite good.

Spirit Hall's Awakening Hall in Holy Soul Village was a fairly decent building. After all, it was only used once a year, and the villagers also voluntarily helped protect and maintain Spirit Hall.

Spirit Hall had indeed done well in this regard.

Spirit Hall gave commoner Soul Masters hope across the continent.

Children who awakened good Martial Souls or possessed high talent could enter Spirit Academy, receiving all kinds of rewards.

Tang San was a typical example.

Spirit Hall awakened his Martial Soul.

They gave him a monthly living allowance.

If not for that, Tang San would have starved to death in some gutter long ago.

Although Bibi Dong had turned evil, her entire life had been so painful. Yun Xiao Feng figured anyone would have gone evil after that.

Tang San was the typical kind of double-standard dog. He could hurt others, but no one else was allowed to hurt him.

Especially that line: anyone who hurt Xiao Wu had to die.

But what happened in the end?

Heh heh.

He picked up his bowl to eat, and after filling his stomach, he flipped the table.

Just like in Slaughter City: after gaining Divine Slaughter's Domain, he did not want anyone else to obtain it. That guy was truly a dog.

Yet after Spirit Hall was destroyed by him, fourteen-year-old Jiang Nannan had to sell herself ten thousand years later because she needed money to save her mother and had none. She had no other choice.

That was Tang San's fine handiwork.

So, standing before the Awakening Hall today, Yun Xiao Feng declared inwardly, "Tang San, your wife is gone. I said so. Not even Jesus can stop it."

Yun Xiao Feng quickly stopped his train of thought.

He entered the Awakening Hall together with several other children.

But at that moment, Yun Xiao Feng did not see Tang San anywhere.

Could it be that Tang San was not planning to awaken his Martial Soul and was instead preparing to forge iron with his father, Tang Hao?

If so, Yun Xiao Feng thought that was not bad either.

At least he could live peacefully for another hundred years.

Very soon, Spirit Hall's deacon, Grandmaster Shu Yuntao, began awakening the children's Martial Souls.

Following Su Yuntao's shout of, "Single Dog Possession!"

Several timid children below nearly ran straight out the door.

"Children, don't be afraid. I'm here to awaken your Martial Souls. This is my Martial Soul, Single Dog. That's why I'm still single even now." Su Yuntao spoke to the children in a very gentle tone.

He did not have the slightest air of arrogance.

Yun Xiao Feng felt that Spirit Hall's people ought to conduct themselves this way. They should not be arrogant or enforce some of those overbearing regulations.

Those were merely the vermin within Spirit Hall.

"Child, don't worry. This is my Martial Soul, Single Dog. It won't bite you. Don't worry; now stand inside the formation." Su Yuntao still explained gently to the first child how to awaken his Martial Soul.

"Martial Soul: hoe. A tool Martial Soul—not bad. Come, let's test your Soul Power." Su Yuntao held out a crystal ball slightly larger than a fist before the first child to awaken a Martial Soul.

He said softly, "Child, place your right hand on it."

The child who had awakened a hoe Martial Soul placed his right hand on the crystal ball.

It lit up with a faint glimmer. But even that faint glimmer made Su Yuntao feel it was quite good! Although this child could not attend an academy, if he worked hard cultivating at home, he might even become a Soul Master.

"Mm, not bad. You have a trace of Soul Power—there's hope. Work hard at home. Try to become a Soul Master someday." The child's awakened Soul Power did not even reach half a rank.

So he did not want to discourage the little boy.

The next few children did not awaken any Soul Power.

Then it was time for the only somewhat chubby girl in the village to awaken her Martial Soul.

At this point, Yun Xiao Feng was a little worried that the rules of this world had changed too much. He remembered that in the original story, it seemed that only Tang San, that ungrateful bastard, had awakened Soul Power in Holy Soul Village!

But his arrival now seemed to have changed the original story! The very first child had awakened Soul Power. Even if it was only a trace, it did not fit at all! And Tang San still had not shown up.

Dog Host, your concern is unnecessary. This remaining Blue Silver Grass girl will awaken Rank One Soul Power. She will become a Healing Soul Master of Soul Grandmaster rank in her lifetime.

"Oh, I see. Actually, if a Healing Soul Master at Soul Grandmaster rank stayed in Holy Soul Village as a little doctor, that would be pretty good too. At least she could serve the people!"

"Li Xiao Hua. Martial Soul: Blue Silver Grass. Innate Soul Power: Rank One." Su Yuntao recorded it on paper.

"Then, Uncle Single Dog, can I go study at an academy?" Li Xiao Hua blinked her large eyes at Su Yuntao. He did not know what to do. Saying it outright would be a bit discouraging to her.

And what the hell was Uncle Single Dog? His Martial Soul was Single Dog; that did not mean no one would ever be with him in the future.

"Child, attending a Soul Master Academy costs a lot of money. And your talent and Martial Soul are truly quite ordinary. So Uncle advises you not to attend an academy.

"Study at home instead. In a few years, once your Soul Power reaches Rank Ten, Uncle can help you hunt a little soul beast. Then you can become a Soul Master."

Su Yuntao had also been born a commoner. Before joining Spirit Hall, he had only possessed a white ten-year soul ring. Only after joining Spirit Hall had he received a somewhat better soul ring.

That was why he spoke to Li Xiao Hua so warmly.

"Then I'll listen to Uncle Single Dog. In a few years, when I reach Rank Ten, you have to come help me." Li Xiao Hua tilted her head as she spoke to Su Yuntao.

Her twin ponytails hung down her back, making her look rather cute.

"Alright. Uncle keeps his word." Su Yuntao had never planned to deceive the little girl. Seeing her appearance, he smiled gently.

"Little friend, it's your turn." Yun Xiao Feng stepped into the formation.

As the six awakening stones descended, Yun Xiao Tian felt as if something were emerging from the palm of his right hand.

"This child is definitely extraordinary. He must be some abandoned descendant of a great clan or something." Seeing the grand scale of Yun Xiao Feng's Martial Soul awakening formation, Su Yuntao believed it would be a fine Martial Soul.

"That's it? What the hell, that's it? A lousy axe. This axe is worth twenty ranks of Soul Power?" Looking at the Martial Soul appearing in his hand, Yun Xiao Feng felt his worldview collapse with a crash.

"An axe Martial Soul like this really has Innate Rank Twenty Soul Power? I'll livestream myself diving if it does." Yun Xiao Tian was utterly speechless inwardly.

Dog Host, are you stupid? If I gave you your real Martial Soul, Tang Hao would probably come hammer you to death immediately, you little idiot.

"My Martial Soul is that powerful?"

Storm Battle Axe

"Holy shit, really? That awesome?"

Yun Xiao Feng grinned gleefully in excitement.

"Little friend, hurry and test your Soul Power. The higher your Innate Soul Power, the higher you may be able to cultivate." Seeing Yun Xiao Feng grinning foolishly nonstop, Su Yuntao hurriedly held the crystal ball before him and had him test his Innate Soul Power.

Yun Xiao Tian placed his right hand on the crystal ball.

A moment later, the markings on the crystal ball showed roughly Rank Five.

"Haha, Old Jack, congratulations! This child has the potential to become a Soul Saint!"

Su Yuntao took Yun Xiao Feng's little hand and led him outside. At the entrance of the Awakening Hall, he saw Tang San, with a pair of panda eyes, standing right behind Old Jack!

"Xiao Feng, did Lord Su Yuntao say you have the potential to become a Soul Saint?" Seeing Yun Xiao Feng emerge hand in hand with Su Yuntao, Old Jack's smile grew even wider.

"Grandpa Jack, Lord Su Yuntao was talking about me. Hehe." Yun Xiao Feng ran before Village Chief Jack with a coquettish expression.

"Alright, then this year's only Work-Study Student spot in the village will go to you. You must work hard, and remember to come back often to visit these old bones of mine!"

Old Jack looked somewhat dejected.

"Don't worry, Grandpa Jack. I'll definitely come back to see you all.

"Oh, right, Grandpa Jack, two other people in our village awakened Martial Souls with Soul Power. Li Er Gou's hoe Martial Soul has a trace of it. Li Xiao Hua's Blue Silver Grass has Rank One Soul Power."

Yun Xiao Feng spoke excitedly to Village Chief Jack.

Although Yun Xiao Feng had awakened his Martial Soul in their village, he was not actually from their village!

Seeing Li Xiao Hua, one of their own villagers, awaken Rank One Soul Power, Old Jack felt joy from the bottom of his heart.

"Um, Village Chief Jack, this is the child's Martial Soul certificate. When you take him to Notting City, come find me at Spirit Hall. I'll give you some books, and you can bring them back for Xiao Hua to read."

After saying this, Su Yuntao was actually preparing to leave.

At that moment, Tang San panicked. He truly panicked.

"Lord Su Yuntao, can you awaken my Martial Soul as well? I just turned six this year too."

Tang San's tone was somewhat forceful.

But Su Yuntao did not make things difficult for him. He awakened Tang San's Martial Soul: Blue Silver Grass, with Innate Full Soul Power.

Then Su Yuntao dealt him a round of blows.

"Blue Silver Grass with Innate Full Soul Power is quite rare! A useless Martial Soul can actually possess Innate Full Soul Power. How strange."

In the end, Su Yuntao still gave Tang San the Martial Soul awakening certificate.

But although Tang San had awakened Innate Full Soul Power, Holy Soul Village's only Work-Study Student spot had already been given to Yun Xiao Feng.

So Tang San went back to find his father, Tang Hao.

Tang San showed off his Twin Martial Souls before Tang Hao: Blue Silver Grass and the Clear Sky Hammer.

When Tang Hao saw the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, he visibly reacted. Tang San also saw something in his father's eyes.

But when Tang Hao saw Tang Hao's Ri Tian Hammer, he clearly became excited and hugged his son, nearly leaving Tang San dumbfounded.

In the end, Tang Hao said that he had ten Gold Soul Coins of hidden savings, all of which he gave to Tang San.

Tang San was surprised and found it unbelievable when he saw the ten gleaming Gold Soul Coins.

In a place like Holy Soul Village, one Gold Soul Coin could support an ordinary family for over a year.

Yet Tang Hao had taken out ten at once. Tang San suddenly thought, "So I'm a rich second-generation kid too!"

But then Tang San wondered why Tang Hao had not taken out more. Was he afraid Tang San would squander it all?

Or was Tang San the child of a great clan, and these six years had been a test for him?

Tang Hao told Tang San not to reveal the hammer Martial Soul in his left hand unless his life was in danger.

So Tang San kept his hammer tightly hidden.

But none of that meant anything to Yun Xiao Feng.

Because he was studying his second Martial Soul!

His first Martial Soul was already unbelievably overpowered—the Storm Battle Axe! It could contend against all six Infinity Stones without losing.

But the Martial Soul in his left hand made him exclaim, "Good heavens, good heavens." It was even more powerful than the Infinity Stones. There were nine Infinity Stones in his left hand.

This discovery completely stunned him.

Yet this was only the beginning.

The attributes of his Storm Battle Axe Martial Soul were outrageously powerful.

Yun Xiao Feng had also awakened his bloodline: the Blue Silver Emperor. His blood now carried a faint blue-golden hue. And after awakening his bloodline, he could generate soul rings himself. He had no need to hunt soul beasts at all.

That made him even happier.

But now was not yet the time to condense a soul ring. He needed to study it more.

At this moment, Yun Xiao Feng dug a large hole beneath Old Jack's bed and placed a jar weighing over a hundred jin inside.

After finishing all that, Yun Xiao Feng felt that it was about time. He could come back to visit more often in the future!
