"All right! Children, come over here and line up. I'll awaken your martial souls!" Brother Tao was as aloof as ever. Not wanting to say another word, he was ready to begin.

He certainly worked fast.

It had to be said, he was quite impatient too.

Wang Xiao walked at the very back, intending to go last.

At the very least, he wanted to stand behind Tang San and give them a surprise—especially Tang San.

The eight children quickly formed a line in front of Su Yuntao.

Wang Xiao did not go over and stood alone behind them.

Su Yuntao glanced at Wang Xiao and frowned slightly, but he could not be bothered to say anything.

He took out several unusual stones and had the first delicate-looking child step forward.

The delicate-looking child's eyes lit up. He immediately took three steps forward and stood still.

He was curious and nervous. How exactly would this Martial Soul Awakening work? What martial soul would he awaken? Would he have Soul Power?

The children of Holy Spirit Village had all heard the heroic tales of the Soul Saint. Naturally, they greatly admired that Soul Master who had come from Holy Spirit Village.

Thus, this delicate-looking little boy also yearned to awaken an incredibly powerful martial soul and possess Soul Power.

He did not need heaven-defying Soul Power. As long as he had Soul Power and caught the eye of a Battle Soul Master like Brother Tao, who could take him to Spirit Hall to study, he would be satisfied.

No matter how poor their talent was, students who came out of Spirit Hall could at least become Soul Masters.

Brother Tao still did not say much. He tossed out several unusual stones, surrounding the little boy within them.

Then he let out a roar. Golden light flowed over his body as his Soul Power surged forth.

His first and second Soul Rings manifested around him, their radiance dazzling.

Then, behind Brother Tao appeared a golden wolf-like beast with a large tail.

The wolf was extremely ferocious. Standing behind Brother Tao, it was several times larger than him.

Its snarling, clawing appearance truly frightened the children badly.

Especially the little boy standing within the circle of stones. Since he was so close, he was nearly scared senseless. His entire body trembled as he stood there in a daze.

Although Tang San had experienced life and death in that world, he was still stunned when Brother Tao released his Soul Rings and displayed the power of his Lone Wolf martial soul.

Of the nine children present, only Wang Xiao remained completely calm.

Wang Xiao thought, Judging from the plot in the book, Brother Tao was exactly like this.

Su Yuntao: Level 26 Battle Soul Master.

Martial Soul Beast: Lone Wolf.

Two Soul Rings: one white, one yellow.

Each Soul Ring represented ten levels. Two rings meant Level Twenty. Only by obtaining a third Soul Ring could one break through to Level Thirty.

After examining Su Yuntao's martial soul and Soul Rings, Wang Xiao smiled confidently.

At the same time, he felt that this world of Douluo Continent was quite interesting.

Take this Martial Soul Awakening, for example. It was an extremely meaningful event.

And those Soul Rings, blooming around one's body, looked refreshing, gorgeous, and incredibly impressive.

Seeing this, Wang Xiao could no longer wait to become a Soul Master himself.

He just did not know whether he could awaken Innate Full Soul Power like Tang San.

He hoped that the Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart's ability would produce a different effect when his Soul Power was tested.

"You there, don't be afraid. This is only a Martial Soul Awakening. It won't hurt you!" Seeing the little boy's fear, Brother Tao explained.

Only then did the little boy inside the stone circle relax. Brother Tao then infused Soul Power into the unusual stones.

The stones immediately lit up, releasing layers of light that enveloped the little boy entirely.

The little boy immediately felt a force flowing into his body. It was warm and comfortable, and his fear and terror gradually turned into joy.

"All right! Now you can use your thoughts to release your martial soul!" After setting up the formation, Brother Tao prompted the first little boy to awaken.

The little boy immediately did as instructed. He slowly closed his eyes and began using his thoughts to release his martial soul.

If Wang Xiao remembered correctly, the first little boy would release a Tool Spirit—a sickle, a type of farming implement.

Although he knew the plot, seeing it with his own eyes still made him eagerly anticipate the miraculous moment of a martial soul awakening.

A book was a book, while reality was reality. The visual impact and emotional experience were entirely different concepts.

In a book, it was only a story. Witnessing it in person, however, struck directly at reality.

Wang Xiao naturally enjoyed himself as he watched the little boy perform his trick with full attention.

Suddenly, a glimmer of spiritual light flashed in the little boy's right hand. Something gradually emerged from his palm, taking shape.

Wang Xiao leaned over behind Tang San, wrapped an arm around his neck, and looked closely. It was indeed an incredibly lifelike farming sickle.

Just like in the original Douluo Dalu book, it was a sickle Tool Spirit.

In fact, the original Douluo Dalu book recorded that martial souls were mainly divided into two major categories.

First: Beast Martial Souls.

Second: Tool Spirits.

Tool Spirits were a broad category with the widest range of classifications, containing all sorts of things.

For example, Food Spirits, Plant Martial Souls, rice, corn, fruits, and vegetables all fell within the Tool Spirit category.

Trees, flowers, grass, farming tools, bottles, stones, and so on were also Tool Spirits.

Relatively speaking, Beast Martial Souls were rarer than Tool Spirits.

Beast Martial Souls possessed combat power, attack power, and defensive power.

Therefore, those who awakened Beast Martial Souls were more likely to be valued by Soul Masters.

There was also another type: Mutated Beast Spirits, which were even rarer.

That was why Beast Martial Souls were so popular, because they inherently represented offensive power.

Take Yu Xiaogang, a descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, for example. Back then, he was known as the Wisdom Corner of Douluo Continent's golden "Iron Triangle."

His martial soul was this kind of mutated Beast Martial Soul: a little pig.

Yu Xiaogang named it Luo Sanpao!

This was also Master's lifelong regret.

Due to the malignant mutation and flaws of his martial soul, he had never been able to break through the Level Thirty bottleneck.

Stuck at Level Twenty-Nine, his combat power was exceptionally poor.

If not for his vast knowledge and talent, his life would have been ruined.

"Ah! A Tool Spirit, a sickle. It has no defensive power, but if you have Soul Power, it can still be remedied!" Brother Tao shook his head, casually took out a Crystal Ball, and had the little boy test his martial soul.

The little boy's heart raced. Trembling slightly, he placed his hand on it, but the Crystal Ball showed no reaction at all.

Brother Tao shook his head again. "No Soul Power. Trash Spirit. Next..."

Wang Xiao also found it quite regrettable. If the little boy had Soul Power, he could have followed Tool Man to Spirit Hall as a student.

Unfortunately, he did not have even a trace of Soul Power.

"Ding! Congratulations, you have successfully signed in at Holy Spirit Village Martial Soul Hall. Reward: one Chicken Blood Vine martial soul! It will be delivered shortly!"

The Loli Voice System said.

Chicken Blood Vine martial soul?

Wasn't that just an ordinary vine that grew on the mountains? When consumed, it replenished blood and vital energy, and was an excellent medicinal herb for treating bruises and injuries.

Damn it!

What was the difference between this martial soul and Tang San's Blue Silver Grass? Could it also be a Trash Spirit?

Thinking of this, Wang Xiao felt somewhat disappointed.

But just then, a crimson plant about an inch long floated in through the doorway.

He recognized it at once. What else could it be but Blood Chicken Vine?

Wang Xiao stretched out his right hand, and the tiny plant flew into his palm. Then it entered his body and hovered motionlessly at the center of his Dantian.

Only, spiritual light occasionally flickered across the Chicken Blood Vine martial soul. That was the sole special feature of this Plant Martial Soul.
