Lottery Draw, Golden Legend

The three of them arrived, the three of them arrived at the Spirit Hall in the village. In truth, it was merely a relatively large wooden house, though it had been renovated within the last year or two.

This year, nine children from Holy Spirit Village were undergoing Martial Soul Awakening. Including Long Yu, the other eight children looked down on Tang San. The others did so because Tang San's family was poor and Tang Hao was lazy and depressed, while Long Yu simply disliked Tang San as a person.

Tang San also had no desire to interact with them. To him, that time would be better spent cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Skill and Purple Demon Eye, or crafting Tang Sect Hidden Weapons.

A young man in his twenties stood in the middle of the Spirit Hall. He was handsome, dressed in a fitted white outfit with a black cape behind him. A fist-sized character for "Soul" was emblazoned on his chest, indicating that he belonged to Spirit Hall.

On his left breast was a badge engraved with three swords, representing the third rank of Soul Master, Soul Grandmaster. The swords showed that he was a Battle Soul Master.

"Greetings, esteemed Battle Soul Grandmaster. We'll have to trouble you this time," Old Jack said respectfully.

"No matter. It is my duty. Let's begin," Su Yuntao said flatly.

He would probably return empty-handed again. Sigh, couldn't Su Yuntao discover a genius Soul Master for once, earn Spirit Hall's generous reward, and win the beauty Sisi's hand?

It was still far too difficult for commoners to become Soul Masters. Taking advantage of this, Long Yu had fully exploited the reputation of a Soul Sage, spreading word that children who came to pay their respects would have a greater chance of becoming Soul Masters. Though many were skeptical, quite a few still came.

Even if there was only a little more hope, the children's parents were unwilling to give up!

Su Yuntao looked at the nine children before him and said gently, "Children, line up in a row." The nine children took their places one after another. Tang San was second to last, while Long Yu stood at the end.

"Children, don't be afraid. I will help you awaken your Martial Souls. Remember, no matter what happens in a moment, don't panic." As he spoke, Su Yuntao opened his bag and took out six pitch-black round stones and a gleaming blue crystal ball.

After arranging the six stones into a hexagon, Su Yuntao motioned for the first child to stand inside.

"Lone Wolf, Martial Soul Possession!" A faint green light emerged. Su Yuntao's hair turned gray, gray fur appeared on his hands, and his body grew much larger, filled with the beauty of muscles.

His eyes turned a dark green, claws extended from his fingers, and one white and one yellow Soul Ring lit up beneath his feet, continuously circling between his feet and the top of his head.

The first child let out a startled cry. "Ah—" Frightened, he tried to run. Having grown up in the village, he had never seen a Soul Master in a Martial Soul Possession state.

"Don't be afraid. This is my Martial Soul Possession state. If any of you become Soul Masters, you'll be able to do the same," Su Yuntao explained as he caught the child.

The others were badly frightened as well, except for Tang San and Long Yu.

Tang San was mostly curious, while Long Yu found it novel. He had finally seen a living Soul Master in Martial Soul Possession, and he looked as though he were watching a monkey.

Su Yuntao thrust out both hands, sending six streams of green light into the six black stones. A beam of golden light enveloped the child.

"Hold out your right hand," Su Yuntao said solemnly.

The boy held out his right hand, and motes of light gathered into a sickle.

"A sickle. A Tool Martial Soul. Come test your Soul Power." Su Yuntao handed the blue crystal ball to the boy and gestured for him to place his hand on it. Su Yuntao also placed his wolf claw on it. The contrast between the tiny childish hand and the gray wolf claw was striking.

After a moment, Su Yuntao said disappointedly, "No Soul Power. You can't become a Soul Master. Go stand to the side." "A hammer. No Soul Power."

"Little grass. No Soul Power."

"A hoe. No Soul Power."

The disappointment on Su Yuntao's face became increasingly obvious.

"Next." Su Yuntao sounded somewhat weary.

When Tang San pressed his hand against the crystal ball, he felt as if the internal force of his Mysterious Heaven Skill had been stirred. A warm current traveled through his entire body.

Su Yuntao's eyes lit up. There were more motes of light this time than with all the previous children, meaning a powerful Martial Soul was about to awaken.

Promotion, promotion! Tang San raised his right hand, and a pale blue blade of grass appeared in his palm. Blue Silver Grass!

Su Yuntao completely cracked. Was this what extreme joy followed by extreme sorrow felt like?

"Soul Power test."

As Tang San was tested, the crystal ball suddenly lit up. Blue light rapidly filled the entire crystal ball, making it shine like a sapphire.

"Th-this is Innate Full Soul Power! How could a Martial Soul like Blue Silver Grass possibly—

But what a pity! Sigh, I..." After his shock, Su Yuntao could only feel disappointment.

Long Yu, meanwhile, was unsurprised. That was the Blue Silver Emperor, a top-tier Martial Soul. And there was also a Clear Sky Hammer.

Long Yu carefully observed Tang San's left hand, but he could only make out a little.

Then Long Yu was speechless. Why did this thing look exactly like a bamboo shoot?????? The patterns and shape.

Had he watched too much of the TV drama Douluo Continent and started hallucinating? After taking out a sheet of parchment to register the information, Su Yuntao said, "Next."

Sigh, the last one.

Heavens, for the sake of my, Su's, face, could you give me a somewhat stronger Martial Soul?

"What do I do? What do I do?" Long Yu clenched his little fists. He had no powerful parents to pass down a Martial Soul, nor had he cultivated any Mysterious Heaven Skill. What if he awakened Peppa Pig? If that came with no Soul Power, then he really could only spend his life with money.

"Ding! The system has detected the host's strong desire to turn his life around. System awakening initiated. As the host is about to awaken his Martial Soul, two choices are provided.

First: Follow Tang San. Reward: Innate Full Soul Power, plus a genuine Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul.

Second: Choose to join Spirit Hall. Reward: one opportunity to draw a Martial Soul and Innate Soul Power. Please choose."

The system! My Golden Finger! I waited for the heavens, waited for the earth, waited for air, and it finally came.

A Golden Finger might be late, but it would never be absent! "I choose the second option. Join Spirit Hall!" Long Yu answered without hesitation.

"Ding! Host's choice confirmed. Martial Soul Grand Wheel activated.

It stops when the host says stop. Produced by Penguin—suitable for everyone!"

Penguin?

"Stop!"

"Congratulations, host! You have drawn the Golden Legend—Dragon God Martial Soul! Comes with Innate Level Twenty Full Soul Power! Ding! Mission issued: Check in at the Papal Palace. Mission reward unknown. No time limit!"

"You've chosen a narrow road, kid." Long Yu vaguely heard the penguin in the center of the grand wheel say.

Long Yu was immediately ecstatic. The Dragon God—it was the Dragon God!

The ancestor of Soul Beasts, who had only been defeated when the five Supreme Gods of the God Realm joined forces. Long Yu estimated its strength to be at the peak of God King level. For a Martial Soul of that caliber, Innate Level Twenty Full Soul Power was hardly surprising.

In Douluo Continent I, Qian Renxue's Divine Martial Soul, the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, could grant Innate Level Twenty Full Soul Power. There was no way the Dragon God Martial Soul could be inferior to a first-level god.

Golden Legend—fucking awesome!
