Before long, a defiant light flickered in Tang San's eyes, as if an unquenchable flame burned deep within his soul.
Though his voice was low, it carried an unquestionable resolve.
"Uncle, you haven't tested my Soul Power yet, have you?"
He asked again, and the persistence in his tone seemed to make the air around them freeze.
Su Yuntao's figure appeared especially aloof in the dim room. He slowly exhaled, his breath seeming to carry an icy chill.
He did not answer at once. After a long while, he finally squeezed out a few words through his thin lips.
"No need to test it. No one's ever had Soul Power with a useless Martial Soul like Blue Silver Grass."
His voice was like the North Wind in winter, cold and piercing.
Tang San frowned slightly, but rather than becoming discouraged, his conviction only grew firmer.
He straightened his back, stared directly at Su Yuntao's retreating figure, and said firmly:
"Let me try, Uncle!"
Su Yuntao finally turned around, his Green eyes appearing especially bright in the dim light.
His gaze moved back and forth between Blade and Tang San.
In the end, he sighed softly, as if reaching some kind of compromise.
"Fine. Testing your Soul Power won't take much time."
The moment Su Yuntao finished speaking, Tang San impatiently placed his hand atop the Soul Power testing orb.
At that moment, time seemed to stand still. As soon as Tang San's hand touched the orb, the previously calm Soul Power orb began to emit a faint glow.
The light gradually grew stronger, while the surrounding Soul Power seemed to answer a summons and gathered toward the orb.
The radiance became brighter and brighter until the entire room was filled with that mysterious glow, as bright as day.
Su Yuntao's face was filled with disbelief. His eyes widened round, nearly popping out of their sockets.
He stared fixedly at the Crystal Ball used to test Soul Power, the shock in his heart like Stormy Waves that could not be calmed.
His throat was dry, and his voice trembled slightly as he muttered:
"This is?!"
Stormy Waves surged through his heart, his thoughts tangled beyond measure.
He knew that as long as the Crystal Ball showed even the slightest glimmer, it meant Soul Power was present,
but the dazzling radiance before him had far surpassed anything he could have imagined.
"As long as the Crystal Ball reacts even a little, even a trace of light proves that Soul Power exists. But such dazzling brilliance... this child!"
Su Yuntao's heart began to race, and he felt an unprecedented excitement.
"Could it be?!"
A thought flashed through his mind, an almost impossible thought.
"It must be!"
He finally confirmed his guess and immediately stopped Tang San's test, his voice filled with unconcealed shock and delight.
"Child, you're actually Innate Full Soul Power!!"
Seeing Su Yuntao's stunned expression, the corners of Tang San's lips curved slightly upward. Though he tried his best to remain calm, the pride and smugness in his heart were difficult to hide. He asked curiously:
"Uncle, what is Innate Full Soul Power?"
Su Yuntao drew a deep breath and tried to calm his voice as he explained:
"The strength of a Martial Soul after Spirit Awakening is not only related to its form; the amount of Soul Power is equally crucial! Most people have no Soul Power when their Martial Souls awaken, like those children from before. They are destined never to become Spirit Masters in their lives!"
"So-called Innate Soul Power refers to the amount of Soul Power one possesses upon awakening. It determines the starting point of a Spirit Master's cultivation! The higher one's Innate Soul Power, the faster one's cultivation speed will be afterward!"
"And what you have, Innate Full Soul Power, is the highest amount of innate Soul Power one can attain when a Martial Soul awakens! But even the maximum is only level ten."
Su Yuntao's tone revealed irrepressible envy and admiration. He shook his head and said with deep emotion:
"I've never encountered Innate Full Soul Power before. This is simply a miracle!"
As he listened to Su Yuntao's excited explanation, Tang San glanced again at Blade, who still showed no intention of leaving. He shook his head slightly, then asked with some disbelief and disappointment at the result:
"Can Innate Soul Power only reach level ten? Can it not go any higher?"
"Of course not. Without a Soul Ring, no matter how hard you cultivate, you can't advance to the next rank."
"Alright, you want to test your Soul Power too, right? Come on, test it."
Su Yuntao merely gave a casual answer to Tang San's ignorant question,
then turned to look at Blade, who stood not far away with his arms folded, coldly watching them.
Blade expressionlessly walked over to Su Yuntao, then extended one hand and took Su Yuntao's Crystal Ball.
Under Tang San's mocking, amused gaze and Su Yuntao's expectant, curious eyes,
Blade gave a cold snort. His fingers, tightly wrapped layer upon layer in bandages, appeared mysterious and powerful.
The instant his fingertips lightly touched the Crystal Ball, an invisible ripple seemed to burst forth from within him.
That power was so immense that the Crystal Ball erupted with dazzling light the moment it made contact!
The radiance was as blazing as the sun. To Tang San and Su Yuntao, standing nearby, the sudden light was no different from a flashbang.
Their eyes were instantly stung shut by the intense glare. Acting on instinct, they hurriedly raised their hands, trying to block the blinding light.
Everything before their eyes turned white, and they seemed to hear the Crystal Ball shatter beside their ears.
Blade, however, did not even blink his Blood-red eyes in the intense light, remaining exceptionally calm. He sensed that the Crystal Ball in his hand had seemingly shattered the instant it touched his power.
The fragments slipped through his spread fingers like Shards of time, declaring that everything that had just happened was no illusion.
It had probably been accidentally burst apart by his power.
The Power of Abundance, even though Blade had not completed his portrayal and could not fully wield it, clearly exceeded the limits of this world.
He spread his fingers and let the Crystal Ball fragments slide from his fingertips, then looked toward Tang San, who was in a more miserable state than Su Yuntao.
A mocking curve appeared at one corner of Blade's lips. His Blood-red eyes slanted toward Tang San as he gave a teasing smile.
Tang San, who had just managed to refocus after the flashbang, saw that scene the moment he opened his eyes and was immediately startled again.
Damn it! He's Innate Full Soul Power too?! He even burst the Crystal Ball! What kind of background does he have?! His strength is actually this terrifying!
And he dares look at me like that?! He has truly embarked on the Path to Death!
Ding! The Protagonist is horrified and embarrassed, Portrayal Progress increases by 0.2% Current Portrayal Progress: 5.41%
Hearing the System's voice, Blade's mood improved slightly. He merely turned his hand over, allowing all the Crystal Ball fragments in his palm to fall freely.
"It... exploded?!"
Su Yuntao's voice trembled with disbelief,
his eyes fixed on the Crystal Ball fragments scattered across the ground, his mind temporarily unable to process the information before him.
"This child?! Could he also have Innate Full Soul Power?!"
Su Yuntao's heart raced as he began muttering rapidly to himself, trying to find a reasonable explanation.
"That's right, it must be!!"
His voice rose slightly, as though he were confirming his own guess.
"But how could it explode?! That shouldn't be possible!"
Su Yuntao's brows knitted tightly as his gaze shifted back and forth between Blade and the fragments on the floor, searching for an answer.
"That shouldn't be possible."
He repeated himself, his voice growing lower and lower as though he had sunk into deep confusion.
Su Yuntao's expression at that moment was like someone suddenly seeing a Ghost Charm in the darkness. His Green eyes widened again, nearly popping out of their sockets.
He simply could not believe the sight before him. The shock in his heart churned like an overturned sea.
Blade's power had clearly exceeded his imagination. Tang San's test had merely made the Crystal Ball glow, while Blade's test had directly blown it apart.
The contrast left Su Yuntao utterly stunned.
I've never encountered Innate Full Soul Power before, and now I've met two at once! Even winning the lottery doesn't have odds like this, does it?
Su Yuntao marveled inwardly, feeling as if he had stepped into a dream. Everything was so unreal.
