Heaven Dou Empire, Imperial Capital, Heaven Dou City.

Wu Qi stopped in front of the Martial Soul Hall.

As a sidelined descendant of the Wu Family in Heaven Dou City, with both parents dead, Wu Qi received no favor whatsoever within the family.

At his age, he should have awakened his spirit a month ago, yet the family had delayed until now without anyone helping him.

As a transmigrator, he had read many novels about traveling to Douluo Continent in his previous life.

He understood one truth well: the earlier one awakened their spirit, the sooner they could begin cultivation, which would greatly benefit their future growth.

With no one in the family paying him any attention, was it not wishful thinking to hope that some elder would help awaken his spirit?

Left with no other choice, he could only come to the Martial Soul Hall alone.

"If I awaken a decent spirit today, I will definitely make my own way in life!"

Clenching his fists, he rose and stepped into the grounds of the Martial Soul Hall.

Ordinarily, not just anyone could enter the Martial Soul Hall. But seeing that he was a child, the guards did not stop him. Instead, one of them patiently stepped forward to advise him.

"Little one, where are your family? If you got lost, do you know where your home is? Uncle can take you back."

At present, Bibi Dong held limited power within Spirit Hall, and the entire Spirit Hall had not yet been corrupted by her influence.

After all, there was a reason Spirit Hall had left such a deep impression on the common people.

Besides helping commoners awaken their spirits free of charge, Spirit Hall also shouldered many social responsibilities.

Unfortunately, under Bibi Dong's leadership later on, everything changed.

Wu Qi was only a child now, so naturally he would not rashly speak of changing Spirit Hall.

Today, his most important task was awakening his spirit.

"Uncle, I came to awaken my spirit. Can you let me in?"

Wu Qi blinked innocently.

The guard was stunned for a moment before asking, "Your family didn't come with you?"

Wu Qi shook his head. "I have no family anymore. I could only come by myself."

To him, the Wu Family of Heaven Dou City was not a home at all, but a cage.

While no one in the clan was paying attention to him, it was best to leave as soon as possible.

After awakening his spirit, even if it was not a powerful one, he could use the certificate issued by Spirit Hall to enroll in a Junior Soul Master Academy. Supporting himself would not be a problem.

Seeing his ragged clothes, the guard did not think he was lying and said sympathetically, "What a pitiful child. Go in. State your purpose, and someone will help you awaken your spirit."

After thanking him, Wu Qi stepped into the Sacred Hall.

The Sacred Hall was the highest-ranking branch hall beneath the Papal Hall. There were not many staff members inside, but each of them was busy.

After he explained his purpose, a warmhearted middle-aged woman led him into the Awakening Room.

The woman arranged the awakening stones into a special formation, and Wu Qi stood within it.

At that moment, a voice came from outside the door. "Wang Fang, what are you doing?"

The newcomer was none other than Salas, the Hall Bishop.

"Bishop Lord, this child has no family, and he has already reached the age of six. I am helping him awaken his spirit."

"Oh?" Salas became interested and looked Wu Qi over from head to toe.

There were many great families and nobles in Heaven Dou City, and the children of those families all awakened their spirits on their own.

Very few would come to the Sacred Hall to awaken their spirits voluntarily.

For some reason, Salas became interested in Wu Qi, this rare visitor, and simply stayed to watch the awakening process.

"Child, close your eyes and focus. In your consciousness, try to communicate with your spirit."

Wang Fang's tone was gentle as she patiently explained.

Wu Qi slowly closed his eyes. Within his consciousness, a ball of soft azure light shone without end.

Suddenly, a long and melodious cry came from within his body, followed by the emergence of an azure figure.

"Wenyao Night Touch, wings like an Azure Luan. This is a top-tier spirit."

As a Platinum Bishop, Salas was naturally exceptionally knowledgeable.

He had once served in the Papal Hall and had been fortunate enough to witness Azure Luan Douluo in action.

That stunning bearing had remained unforgettable to him for a long time. Yet now, upon a child, he saw traces of the Azure Luan Worshipper's divine charm.

Could this child be the illegitimate son Azure Luan Worshipper had left somewhere on the continent?

Salas's expression shifted unpredictably, while Wang Fang was stunned by the sight.

My spirit is actually an Azure Luan. Wu Qi sighed inwardly.

It was actually easy to understand. The Wu Family was an Empire noble family, and one of their ancestors had once married an imperial princess.

With the royal Swan Spirit combined with the Wu Family's Bai He Spirit, there was indeed a chance for them to mutate into an Azure Luan Spirit.

After a pause, he reminded them, "Bishop Lord, Sister Wang, you still haven't tested my Soul Power."

"Right, right, right."

Wang Fang hurriedly took out a Soul Power Crystal Ball from her Soul Tool and placed it in Wu Qi's hands.

The instant his palm touched the crystal ball's surface, brilliant multicolored light burst through the Awakening Room.

Salas did not seem surprised. "When a top-tier spirit is born, it is often accompanied by extremely high Innate Soul Power."

The door to the Awakening Room had not been closed, and it quickly drew the attention of the hall's staff.

"With such a glow, his Innate Soul Power can't be lower than level nine, can it?"

"What do you know? This is Innate Full Soul Power!"

"I heard that child is an orphan too. Wang Fang has really found herself a treasure this time."

Some were envious, while others were frustrated.

The Martial Soul Hall would certainly not be peaceful today.

Salas coughed lightly. "Child, are you willing to join Spirit Hall?"

"Can I?" Wu Qi asked in return.

A family like the Wu Family was not worthy of his loyalty.

Moreover, he had long made up his mind to leave the family and support himself.

Joining Spirit Hall might be a good destination.

Because of his spirit, he was confident that Bibi Dong would not take him under her wing.

After recovering from her shock, Wang Fang hurriedly said, "Bishop Lord, shouldn't we report this to His Holiness the Pope immediately?"

A genius with Innate Full Soul Power was rare in the world. It was a matter of great importance and had to be reported.

Spirit Hall had different methods of training geniuses with different levels of Innate Soul Power. Wu Qi's talent was enough to warrant the highest level of training.

But Salas began harboring other thoughts.

If he handed Wu Qi over to Pope Bibi Dong, he would certainly receive a reward.

But Bibi Dong was not generous, and he would not be satisfied with the benefits he received.

If he handed Wu Qi over to Azure Luan Douluo, however, it would be different.

Although the Worship Hall did not involve itself in Spirit Hall affairs, its influence was extraordinary. By doing Azure Luan Douluo this favor, Salas could gain even more in the future.

Besides, he would still receive a reward for discovering talent for Spirit Hall. Why could he not take two rewards?

"Wang Fang, find him a place to stay in the city. For the next few days, remain by his side for now. I will report this first. As for where he will be sent, everything will follow the arrangements from above."

This arrangement was perfectly reasonable, so Wang Fang naturally had no objections.

"Bishop Lord, my family has an empty residence. How about arranging for this little brother to stay there first?"

Salas did not care about such details. All he wanted was the result.

"By the way, what is your name?" Salas bent down, his attitude kind.

Wu Qi bowed, appearing calm and composed. "In reply to Bishop Lord, my name is Wu Qi. Qi as in rising strong."

Afterward, Salas issued a gag order to ensure that what happened today would not spread everywhere.

After leaving the Sacred Hall, Wang Fang led him toward a residence in the southern part of the city.

Along the way, Wang Fang said with a smile, "Little brother, you do not have a home, right? How about I give you this residence?"

Giving him a house was naturally meant to build ties with this future Expert.

According to Spirit Hall's training plan, it would not be difficult for Wu Qi to soar into the heavens in the future.

Adding flowers to brocade was easy, but offering charcoal in the snow was difficult.

Giving him a residence now meant Wu Qi would have a home. That was an enormous favor.

"Thank you, Sister Wang. However, everything still has to follow Bishop Lord's arrangements."

Wu Qi did not accept it, instead throwing the matter back to Salas.
