Su Yuntao: No Spirit, Useless

"Spirit, Blue Silver Grass. Test your Soul Power." Su Yuntao listlessly handed over the Blue Crystal Ball. He was merely going through the motions and had little hope to begin with.

But the next moment, Su Yuntao's eyes flew wide open.

The instant Tang San placed his hand on the Blue Crystal Ball, an incomparably dazzling blue radiance burst forth from within it, flooding the entire room.

"Innate Full Soul Power~~~?" Su Yuntao cried out.

The room fell silent. It took Su Yuntao quite a while to recover his senses.

As he looked at Tang San, his eyes held both shock and disappointment.

Ye Zhiqiu knew how the plot would unfold, so he did not feel much beyond a faint trace of envy.

His attention was focused more on Tang San's tightly clenched left hand. That should be the Clear Sky Hammer, right?

The Clear Sky Hammer, hailed as the number one Tool Spirit on the Douluo Continent.

"What is Innate Full Soul Power?" Tang San asked in confusion.

Su Yuntao shook his head regretfully and explained, "Whether one possesses Soul Power is the key to becoming a Spirit Master. Even a Waste Spirit can be cultivated through meditation and become a Spirit Master, so long as it possesses Soul Power. The higher one's Innate Soul Power, the faster a Spirit Master can cultivate in the later stages. Innate Full Soul Power is the highest level of Soul Power one can attain upon awakening one's Spirit."

"Unfortunately, your Spirit is a Waste Spirit like Blue Silver Grass." Su Yuntao sighed in disappointment.

Tang San nodded to show that he understood, then walked out of the Hexagram Array deep in thought. He stood beside Ye Zhiqiu and fell silent, though no one knew what he was thinking.

Ye Zhiqiu was thrilled. It was finally his turn to awaken his Spirit.

He took a few quick steps forward and stood properly within the Hexagram Array.

Seeing how cooperative Ye Zhiqiu was, Su Yuntao smiled faintly and forced himself to perk up. Strands of green light shot into the Black Stones on the ground.

Within the Hexagram Array formed from black stones, golden light even more dazzling than when Tang San had awakened his Spirit scattered in every direction.

It bathed the room in brilliant gold.

Su Yuntao grew excited. Another one with great potential.

Ye Zhiqiu was excited as well. With such a grand display, my Spirit must be insanely awesome, right? But wait, where's my Spirit?

Ye Zhiqiu stared blankly at his empty right hand. Why was there nothing there???

Su Yuntao was equally dumbfounded. Where was the Spirit? Where had it gone? Such brilliant awakening light meant the Spirit had to be extraordinary, but where was it now? Where had the Spirit gone?

Su Yuntao lowered his head in thought. Everyone on the Douluo Continent possessed a Spirit—this was common knowledge. He had not merely never seen someone without a Spirit; he had never even heard of one.

If it was not in his right hand, could it be in his left? After all, some people were just that special. Perhaps it was a mutated Spirit. At that thought, Su Yuntao's eyes lit up.

"Try raising your left hand," Su Yuntao said tentatively.

Still bewildered, Ye Zhiqiu raised his left hand. After a while, there was still nothing. Ye Zhiqiu froze. Su Yuntao froze. Tang San froze. Even the other children froze.

What was going on? Where was the Spirit? After staying silent for a long while, Su Yuntao finally squeezed out, "No Spirit. Useless."

After saying that, he prepared to pack up his things. Su Yuntao cursed inwardly. Damn it, what rotten luck. This is downright supernatural.

Today, he had finally encountered someone with Innate Full Soul Power, only for it to be the Waste Spirit Blue Silver Grass.

The other one was even more absurd. His Spirit awakening had caused such a huge spectacle that Su Yuntao had placed great hopes on him, only for him to have no Spirit at all? His poor heart had been through one twist after another. He was utterly speechless. You people are clearly targeting me, Fat Tiger~ Su Yuntao only wanted to leave this damned place as soon as possible. It was driving him crazy.

When Ye Zhiqiu saw this Douluo Continent tool character preparing to pack up and leave, he immediately panicked. "Uncle, you haven't tested my Soul Power yet. Test it for me!"

"You don't even have a Spirit. How could you possibly have Soul Power? You're basically useless," Su Yuntao said without looking up as he packed his things.

Still unwilling to give up, Ye Zhiqiu said, "Maybe my Spirit is something like Spatial Power. Uncle, you've never seen anyone on the Douluo Continent without a Spirit either, right? Just test my Soul Power."

Su Yuntao's hands paused. He considered it seriously, then took out the Blue Crystal Ball and placed it before Ye Zhiqiu. Thinking it over carefully, he felt that Ye Zhiqiu's words did make some sense.

Besides, testing his Soul Power would not take long.

Looking at the Blue Crystal Ball before him, Ye Zhiqiu felt nervous as he slowly placed his hand on it.

Blinding blue light instantly surged from the crystal ball like churning ocean waves. Wave after wave of blue radiance flowed forth without pause, continuously pouring from the crystal ball.

The room was illuminated so beautifully that it felt as though they had stepped into a dreamlike world.

The blue light was so piercing that everyone squeezed their eyes shut. A few children had closed their eyes too slowly and were now streaming tears.

Spirit awakened: Sharingan. Innate Full Soul Power, Level 20. Naruto Negative Emotion God System has begun binding to host. Loading... 1%. 5%. 10%.

Listening to the notification in his mind, Ye Zhiqiu froze before bursting with joy. After six years, his golden finger had finally arrived.

Sure enough, a golden finger might be late, but it would never be absent! "Crack." A shattering sound rang out.

Ye Zhiqiu felt the crystal ball in his hand tremble and quickly pulled his hand away.

The blue radiance vanished the instant Ye Zhiqiu withdrew his hand, as though it had never appeared at all.

The difference was that Ye Zhiqiu's originally deep black pupils had now turned a faint crimson. Upon closer inspection, a tiny Magatama could be seen slowly rotating within each pupil, giving them an eerie air.

The sight was far too conspicuous. Anyone who was not blind could see those crimson pupils at a glance.

Su Yuntao was excited, roaring inwardly. Heavens, another Innate Full Soul Power—and a mutated Spirit, too.

Unlike Tang San's Waste Spirit, this Spirit was highly unusual. It had clearly never appeared on the Douluo Continent before. Judging from the intensity of his Soul Power, it should have mutated in a positive direction.

With a little cultivation, this child would become a genius. My performance quota for this year is finally secured.

He had almost—almost—given up on this genius.

At that thought, Su Yuntao wanted nothing more than to slap himself a few times.

Su Yuntao crouched down, placed both hands on Ye Zhiqiu's shoulders, and asked gently, "Child, what is your name?"

"My name is Ye Zhiqiu."

Ye Zhiqiu felt a little flustered. This guy seemed to want to recruit him into Spirit Hall. So should I join or not? Su Yuntao chuckled softly. "Ye Zhiqiu? A good name. Are you interested in joining Spirit Hall? We can provide you with the best resources and the best cultivation environment. No other academy can compare."

Su Yuntao looked extremely serious and sincere. He believed that if he brought this child back, Spirit Hall would definitely focus on cultivating him.

The other children were all filled with envy. To be directly recruited by Spirit Hall—in his previous life, that was practically the same as being directly admitted to Tsinghua University or Peking University.

Tang San also wore a gratified expression upon seeing this. It was hard to imagine how someone so young could make such an expression.
