Little Tadpole Spirit? Innate Full Soul Power

"Children, I am your guide, Su Yuntao, a level twenty-six Soul Grandmaster. Next, I will awaken your spirits."

After a brief introduction, Su Yuntao took out six black stones and arranged them on the ground in a hexagram formation.

He also held a blue crystal ball in his hand.

"Very good. Now, come forward in order. No matter what you see, do not panic."

Su Yuntao's attitude toward the children before him was much gentler.

There were nine children in total.

When the first child stepped into the center of the hexagram, Su Yuntao suddenly shouted.

"Lone Wolf Spirit, possess me!"

Ye Qiu, Tang San, and all the other children stared in amazement, even horror.

The muscles on Su Yuntao's body visibly bulged, his eyes turned a deep green, and many wolf-like features appeared on him.

"Don't be afraid. Close your eyes and feel carefully."

Su Yuntao softly reassured the child inside the hexagram, guiding him to awaken his spirit.

A hint of curiosity flashed through Ye Qiu's eyes.

The hexagram formed by the black stones began to shine with golden light, and specks of light entered the boy's body.

"Hold out your right hand."

Su Yuntao's dark green eyes fixed on the boy as he gave the command with solemn authority.

The boy subconsciously held out his right hand.

In an instant, all the light specks that had entered his body surged forth.

A sickle appeared in his palm.

"Alright, come test your soul power!"

Su Yuntao handed over the blue crystal ball, without the slightest disappointment in his eyes.

As if accustomed to it, he announced:

"Child, your spirit has no soul power. Next!"

After the child left in a daze of disappointment, the Spirit Awakening ceremony proceeded in an orderly fashion.

"Pickled Cucumber Spirit, no soul power. Next!"

"Stone Flower Spirit, no soul power. Next!"

"..."

"Blue Silver Grass Spirit, no soul power. Next!"

Very soon, the first seven children had all completed their Spirit Awakening.

As expected, none of them possessed Innate Soul Power and were unable to become the esteemed soul masters.

Next came Tang San's turn.

Su Yuntao spoke in an almost mechanical tone.

"Blue Silver Grass Spirit, no... Wait!"

"Gasp—! Innate Full Soul Power! How is that possible?!"

Su Yuntao sharply sucked in a breath.

As he looked at the blue crystal ball in his hand, his eyes were filled with shock.

"It's actually Innate Full Soul Power!"

Tang San looked curiously at the ordinary little grass in his palm.

"What a pity! What a pity it's a useless spirit!"

After his shock faded, Su Yuntao could not help sighing again.

"A useless spirit?"

Tang San was bewildered.

He still had no real understanding of spirits.

But the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record had taught him never to easily reveal everything he possessed.

Therefore, Tang San was tightly clenching his left hand.

There was a hammer there!

"What a pity. Next."

Su Yuntao gathered himself, waved Tang San away, and turned his gaze to Ye Qiu, the last one remaining.

Following the example, Ye Qiu stepped into the hexagram.

As Su Yuntao injected his soul power.

Ye Qiu saw golden light enter his body, and immediately felt the blood within him begin to boil.

It was as though something was about to burst out of his body.

Strands of black energy curled around Ye Qiu from head to toe.

Seeing this, Su Yuntao's eyes lit up. He softly instructed, "Kid, quickly raise your right hand."

Ye Qiu did as he was told and lifted his right hand.

At once, golden light surged forth, Dark Light shone brightly, and something continuously condensed.

Tang San, who had been about to leave, stopped because of the commotion Ye Qiu had caused.

As Ye Qiu's martial soul appeared.

Hope lit up in Su Yuntao's eyes, only for him to stare in utter astonishment the next moment.

"Why is it a little, little tadpole?!"

Hearing that, Ye Qiu looked closely.

His face darkened as well.

Damn it, did a frog revert to its ancestors? Did my crow's mouth really come true?

On the pad of Ye Qiu's middle finger.

Lay a tiny comma-shaped tadpole, mostly pitch-black, with a pair of white eye-like markings taking up half its body.

"It's another useless martial soul."

Su Yuntao shook his head, utterly uninterested.

Even if it was a tadpole, it was just far too small!

Its vitality was low; it wasn't healthy!

He had thought this kid was going to produce something big, but instead he had let out a tiny runt.

Ye Qiu sighed, but he was not too disappointed.

Although his martial soul was nothing special, he could feel soul power within his body.

That was enough for him to take a shot at it!

As for exactly what level it was, Ye Qiu had no idea, nor did he hold any expectations.

Seeing that everything had settled, Tang San did not linger.

Though Su Yuntao was deeply disappointed, he had not forgotten his duties.

"Come on, let's test your Innate Soul Power!"

"Mm."

Ye Qiu calmly held out his little hand and placed it over the crystal ball.

In the blink of an eye.

The crystal ball in his hand was filled with dazzling light.

"Innate Full Soul Power!!"

Su Yuntao cried out in shock, his eyes widening before his expression turned one of bitter anguish.

What sin had he committed?!

To awaken two useless martial souls with Innate Full Soul Power in a row!

Tang San, who had just reached the door, halted at the sound and stared at Ye Qiu in astonishment.

Unlike Su Yuntao's anguish.

Ye Qiu was ecstatic inside, his black pearl-like eyes shining especially brightly.

His martial soul... was absolutely not ordinary!

Ye Qiu was certain of it!

Innate Full Soul Power... was enough to answer any doubt!

"Ah, what a pity."

Su Yuntao shook his head helplessly.

He could only pick up his paper and pen, faithfully recording Ye Qiu's martial soul and Innate Soul Power.

Ye Qiu said nothing.

It wasn't the time to clear his martial soul's name.

Right now, his words carried little weight.

Perhaps when he went to Notting City to register as a soul master, someone would discover his potential and recruit him?

Then, the choice would be entirely his.

Before long.

Su Yuntao, who looked as though he was on the verge of tears, led Ye Qiu and Tang San out of the wooden house.

Old Jack hurriedly went up to meet them.

"Master, how did it go? Are there any children in our village who can become soul masters?"

The arrogance on Su Yuntao's face faded somewhat, replaced by a hint of heartache.

Even speaking seemed to leave a bad taste in his mouth.

"Old Jack, congratulations!"

"Your village has produced two talents this year! See for yourself."

Before he even finished speaking.

Su Yuntao stuffed two martial soul certificates into Old Jack's arms.

Then he hurriedly turned to leave.

"Alright, I have a heavy workload, so I won't stay any longer."

However.

Before Su Yuntao had gotten far.

Old Jack's wail stabbed him twice more in the heart.

"Heavens—!"

"Innate Full Soul Power! What? Two useless martial souls?!"

Old Jack felt as if he were dreaming.

The words "Innate Full Soul Power" and "useless martial souls" left his head spinning.

Watching Old Jack sway as though he might collapse.

Su Yuntao felt a little better and hurried away.

"What an injustice from the heavens."

Old Jack was heartbroken. Those were two children with Innate Full Soul Power!

Ye Qiu raised a hand to cover his ears.

Helplessly, he said, "Grandpa Jack, don't hurt yourself from shouting."

"Ah."

Old Jack let out a helpless sigh.

After collecting himself, he crouched down and gently stroked Ye Qiu and Tang San's heads.

"Don't lose heart, you two little ones. At least you can still become soul masters. After some time, Grandpa will send you to Soul Master Academy."

Ye Qiu smiled and nodded, generously grabbing a handful of candy for Old Jack.

"Thank you, Grandpa Jack. Would you like some candy?"

Old Jack laughed.

"Alright. But Grandpa won't take it for free. How about I treat you to a meal? Little San, come too."

Tang San held some doubts in his heart and gently shook his head.

"Grandpa Jack, I won't be going. Dad is still waiting for me to go back and cook. As for going to school, I need to go back and ask my dad first."

"Tch, that drunken bum of yours really is a worry."

Old Jack frowned in reproach.

Tang San's eyes flickered, but he did not argue with him.

"In that case, Grandpa will accompany you home."

"..."

Wishing everyone a happy life!
