Innate Full Soul Power of a Useless Spirit Soul

For some reason, the children who had been crying and fussing calmed down the moment they were enveloped by the pale golden light, standing there in a daze.

Golden specks drifted out from the black stones on the ground and entered the boy's body.

The boy's body began to tremble slightly. He wanted to cry out, but no sound came out.

"Hold out your right hand." Su Yuntao fixed the boy with his dark green eyes and gave the command sternly.

The boy instinctively held out his right hand. At once, all the light specks surged forth, and in an instant, a sickle appeared in his palm.

The sickle did not seem like an illusory projection of light. It existed physically.

Su Yuntao frowned. "A Tool Spirit Soul. Can a sickle be used as a weapon? Barely, I suppose."

The golden light gradually faded. The boy looked at the small sickle in his hand in surprise, at a loss for what to do.

Su Yuntao said, "Your Spirit Soul is a sickle, a Tool Spirit Soul. Come, let me see whether you have Soul Power. If you do, even a Tool Spirit Soul can be cultivated as a battle soul master. After all, a sickle has some offensive capability."

"M-Master, what should I do?" the boy asked timidly.

Su Yuntao said calmly, "Use your mind to retract your Spirit Soul. When you want to use it again in the future, summon it with your mind as well."

It took the boy a long while before he managed to retract the sickle in his hand. Su Yuntao held the blue crystal ball before him, indicating that he should place his right hand on it.

The boy's tiny hand and Su Yuntao's wolf claw rested above and below the crystal ball respectively, making for a stark contrast.

After a moment, Su Yuntao said in disappointment, "No Soul Power. You cannot become a soul master. Go stand to the side."

The same scene continued to play out. Another five children underwent Spirit Awakening one after another. Their Spirit Souls were all farming tools such as hoes and sickles. Not a single Beast Spirit Soul appeared, and Su Yuntao judged each of them to have no Soul Power.

It was the seventh child's turn, the one standing directly before Tang San.

After continuously using Soul Power, Su Yuntao seemed somewhat weary, but he still intended to complete the awakening process for all eight children.

The golden specks gathered. This time, it was finally no longer a farming tool. Something different appeared. A stalk of pale blue grass emerged in the girl's palm, swaying gently.

Tang San and Lan Xue vaguely felt that they had seen this kind of blue grass before. Tang San quickly remembered. It was called Blue Silver Grass, and it could be found everywhere in the village. It was as common as the green grass in his original world. Other than being rather resilient, it had no other use. It was only because the girl had been surrounded by that layer of pale golden light that he had not recognized it at first glance.

Although it was not a farming tool, the disappointment in Su Yuntao's eyes became even more apparent. "A useless Spirit Soul. No offensive power, no defensive power, no supportive ability. Blue Silver Grass is practically the standard form of a useless Spirit Soul." As he spoke, he handed the blue crystal ball to the girl according to procedure. Just as he had expected, no Soul Power appeared.

At last, it was Tang San's turn. Without waiting for Su Yuntao to say anything, he stepped forward and stood in the center of the six black stones.

As Su Yuntao injected six streams of Soul Power, the pale golden light lit up once more.

Warmth. That was Tang San's first sensation. It was as though his entire body had been wrapped in a warm, comforting world, leaving him indescribably comfortable. No wonder the children had calmed down as soon as they were enveloped by the golden light.

The warm aura seeped into his body. Tang San clearly sensed the internal energy of his Mysterious Heaven Skill stir faintly. Then, drawn by that warm energy, something within him seemed to shatter, and all the warm aura surged toward his palm in an instant.

Su Yuntao's eyes suddenly lit up. Within the golden barrier, more golden specks appeared this time than all the previous children combined. He vaguely sensed that a remarkably powerful Spirit Soul was about to appear. His excitement was impossible to hide.

For Spirit Hall deacons like them, who were responsible for awakening the Spirit Souls of ordinary people, awakening a child with extraordinary potential and recruiting them into Spirit Hall would earn them considerable merit in their evaluations and greatly benefit their chances of promotion.

But Su Yuntao was soon disappointed.

Tang San instinctively raised his right hand. What he saw was blue. This was the second time that blue had appeared in the Spirit Hall of this village today.

Blue Silver Grass. Exactly the same Blue Silver Grass as the girl before him. The standard example of a useless Spirit Soul.

Su Yuntao said helplessly, "Another useless Spirit Soul. Looks like this trip to Holy Soul Village was a waste of time too. All right, children, you may leave." The appearance of so many golden specks had given him great hope, but it had turned out to be nothing more than Blue Silver Grass. The sharp contrast left Su Yuntao rather irritated.

"Uncle, you haven't tested my Soul Power yet." Seeing Su Yuntao about to put away the blue crystal ball, Tang San hurriedly reminded him.

Without turning his head, Su Yuntao said, "No need to test it. I've never seen anyone with Soul Power awaken Blue Silver Grass, a useless Spirit Soul. Next."

"Let me try, Uncle." Tang San insisted. The warmth brought by the golden light had produced a strange sensation as it circulated through his body. That opened door made him feel that his Mysterious Heaven Skill had undergone a subtle change. At the same time, he wanted to know what exactly was different between his internal energy and the Spirit Souls of this world. "Uncle, let my brother try," Little Xue said as well.

Su Yuntao paused before turning around to meet Tang San and Lan Xue's calm yet determined gazes. These two children seem somewhat different from the others.
