Ordinary Soul Master

"Young Lord Qin, next we'll test your Soul Power. Could you place your hand on this Crystal Ball?"

Su Yuntao's voice had softened considerably.

Qin He expressionlessly extended his hand and placed it on the blue Crystal Ball before him.

The next instant, a dazzling golden light flashed, nearly blinding everyone!

"Innate Full Soul Power! My heavens, could this fellow be the Chosen One?"

Su Yuntao felt the blood rush to his head, and he was practically about to faint!

Innate Full Soul Power referred to having Soul Power at Level 10 during one's first martial soul test!

On Douluo Continent, Innate Full Soul Power was exceptionally rare. Soul Masters with such a constitution would achieve no less than the rank of Great Soul Master.

Tang San, the protagonist of the original story, had also possessed Innate Full Soul Power. Later, he became both the Asura God and Sea God, ridiculously overpowered.

But Tang San's identified martial soul had been Blue Silver Grass. It certainly did not have the ability to frighten his Lone Wolf Spirit into collapsing!

And the Clear Sky Hammer Tang San had hidden away seemingly did not possess such an ability either!

A ferocious Divine Beast Soul paired with Innate Full Soul Power—given time, Young Lord Qin He would surely stand at the peak of Douluo Continent!

"Congratulations, Lord Qin Zhan!"

At the same time, the many nobles in the guest seats looked at the boy on the field with envy, jealousy, and resentment as they offered hypocritical congratulations.

With such talent, he would likely soon draw the attention of the Heaven Dou Empire's imperial family. His future was practically boundless!

"Hahahaha! My son's talent is rather lacking, nothing worth mentioning, nothing worth mentioning!"

In the guest seats, Qin Zhan laughed heartily while pretending to be modest.

The heads of the various clans were so angry that their mouths twitched.

Nothing worth mentioning?

Nothing worth your ass!

If you truly despised your son that much, why not give him to me?

"Getting a bargain and still acting smug! This fellow is truly shameless..."

At the side, the Notting Academy Principal was equally miserable.

Young Lord Qin He was so talented. What if someone snatched him away?

"This is bad! I've tried my best to suppress it, but I can't suppress this Soul Power any further!"

Under the envious, jealous, and resentful gazes of the crowd, Qin He felt as though his head were about to explode.

Level 10 was known as Innate Full Soul Power.

Suppressing Level 1000 Soul Power down to Level 10 was already an extraordinary performance.

Of course, the main reason was that the Crystal Ball could only measure up to Innate Full Soul Power. Even if one had Level 20 Innate Soul Power, it would still register as Innate Full Soul Power.

Qin He had gone to great lengths to suppress his Soul Power mainly to keep the Crystal Ball from bursting.

If it burst, Spirit Hall would have to bring out a higher-grade Crystal Ball, and the results would be more accurate then.

But even after controlling it to this extent, Qin He still felt that things were about to blow up!

Leaving aside everything else, the greatest immediate danger was being targeted by Spirit Hall!

Though this faction was currently at the height of its power, it would not be long before it was destroyed—by the protagonist, no less!

Of course, if Qin He joined Spirit Hall, his Level 1000 strength would definitely be enough to defy fate and rewrite his destiny!

But was Qin He really so bored that he would become a thug for the villainous Spirit Hall?

"Brother Qin Zhan, your son Qin He is extraordinarily talented. However, the tallest tree in the forest is the first to be felled by the wind. I'm afraid Spirit Hall will not let your young lord go this time!"

At that moment, a middle-aged man in a black robe spoke in a grave tone.

This man's cultivation was not high, and his aura was weak. Yet he could sit in the guest seats as an equal among Notting City's many nobles, showing that his identity was far from ordinary!

He was none other than Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang!

Yu Xiaogang came from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, one of the foremost clans on Douluo Continent, and he was friends with the Notting Academy Principal. Although his martial soul had mutated into Luo Sanpao, a martial soul with extremely poor offensive power, he was a true Grandmaster in martial soul research!

In the original story, he had even accepted the protagonist Tang San as his disciple.

"Brother Qin, we must guard against this!"

At the same time, Principal Zhao Chong, who had originally been beaming with delight, also turned considerably more solemn.

"Spirit Hall? Hmph, this is the Heaven Dou Empire. Spirit Hall's hand cannot reach that far!"

Qin Zhan sneered.

On Douluo Continent, there were two great empires: the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire.

Between the two empires stood an organization called Spirit Hall. It had drawn in all the kingdoms and duchies outside the two great empires, and its strength was no less than that of either empire.

Spirit Hall acted with extreme arrogance and tyranny. It placed great importance on talented prospects, and for someone like Qin He, it would often employ all manner of underhanded methods to recruit him at any cost.

Even though Qin He's father was a Count of the Heaven Dou Empire, he might not necessarily be able to withstand Spirit Hall's pressure.

The bright mood brought by awakening a top-tier martial soul was instantly clouded by a trace of gloom.

Qin He was deeply frustrated.

His original plan had been to awaken an ordinary martial soul—not too impressive, not too mediocre, just useful enough.

He was not afraid of Spirit Hall, but if such a huge faction came every day to disturb his peaceful life, how was he supposed to live?

With a mournful expression, Qin He felt that his life had already fallen into darkness.

"As expected of Young Lord Qin. If an ordinary person awakened such talent, they would already be ecstatic. Yet Young Lord Qin remains so calm. Such mental fortitude is truly astonishing!"

At the side, Su Yuntao had observed Qin He throughout the entire process and could not help praising him.

For Soul Master cultivation, talent was important, but one's mindset was even more important.

Some Soul Masters believed themselves talented. After awakening a good martial soul, they became arrogant and neglected cultivation. In the end, their achievements were instead inferior to those of Soul Masters with ordinary talent.

Someone like Young Lord Qin He was the most terrifying of all.

Not only was he talented, but despite being merely six years old, he possessed such a mature mindset. He could remain unruffled by favor or disgrace. Combined with his noble status, he would certainly not lack cultivation resources.

It was simply impossible to imagine how far Young Lord Qin He could go in the future.

The hell with my mental fortitude!

Qin He could not help twitching at the corner of his mouth.

He had wanted to keep a low profile, but this martial soul test had probably cemented his reputation as a genius. He feared he would never have peace for the rest of his life!

"Young Lord Qin, would you be interested in joining our Spirit Hall Academy?"

Su Yuntao did not hesitate to attempt recruitment.

His status was low, so his words this time were merely a test.

Next, Spirit Hall's main branch would send elders to personally recruit this genius. The things they would offer were likely beyond anything Su Yuntao could imagine in his lifetime.

At this moment, Notting Academy had already descended into complete chaos.

"Young Lord Qin He, Notting Academy is too small. Staying here would tarnish your reputation as a genius. Why not join our Canghui Academy? Your tuition will be fully waived, and you'll receive a Scholarship of one hundred Gold Soul Coins every year!"

"What trash academy is Canghui Academy? Our Tianshui Academy has lots of beautiful women!"
