Testing Soul Power — Bonus Chapter for Deacon "Hao"

"Ah, Xiao San, spar with Xiao Wu first. I'm going to see whether Boss Xiao and his lot are seriously doing work for us Work-Study Students!"

Qin Feng sprang out of bed and dashed outside, disappearing from sight in no time.

Qin Feng's bed had been right by the door, so naturally, he made his escape quickly.

Tang San was different. He was right beside Xiao Wu, and Xiao Wu was staring straight at him.

"Xiao Wu, I never expected your martial soul to really be a rabbit."

Tang San chuckled awkwardly as he touched Xiao Wu's ears.

"Cut the nonsense. Show me your martial soul. I'll settle things with Feng Ge later. Today, we have to decide who's stronger!"

Xiao Wu's rabbit ears twitched slightly as she assumed a fighting stance.

Tang San was unwilling deep down. He really did not want to fight Xiao Wu.

But Xiao Wu's attacks were already coming at him.

Her swift, fluid attacks caught Tang San off guard.

Left with no choice, Tang San finally accepted Xiao Wu's challenge.

Meanwhile, Qin Feng had already run out of the academy gates.

No matter what society one lived in, money was indispensable. Qin Feng planned to have his Soul Power assessed at Spirit Hall. As long as he received Spirit Hall's recognition, he would receive one Gold Soul Coin every month.

At the very least, he would not have to worry about making a living.

Qin Feng walked along the streets and asked passersby for directions. After a little over ten minutes, he found Spirit Hall.

Whether in the Star Luo Empire or the Heaven Dou Empire, Spirit Hall was always located somewhere highly recognizable.

It was a solemn, imposing place resembling a church. Iron fences surrounded it, making it look like a slumbering ferocious beast.

"Little friend, this isn't somewhere you should be. If you don't have business here, please go back."

The spacious plaza had only two imposing statues that stood out in particular. Several patrolling soldiers passed by from time to time, adding a touch of life to the place.

At that moment, Qin Feng was stopped by those patrolling soldiers.

"Hello, I'm from Notting Junior Spirit Master Academy. My teacher sent me here to have my martial soul assessed."

Qin Feng spoke very politely to the patrolling soldiers.

Their duty was to guard Spirit Hall. If they had not stopped an unfamiliar visitor like Qin Feng, that would have been truly strange.

"A student from Notting Junior Spirit Master Academy? All right, you may enter."

The soldier moved the weapon blocking Qin Feng's way.

Qin Feng had only taken a few steps when he heard the soldiers discussing him among themselves.

"Sigh, if I could have attended Notting Junior Spirit Master Academy back then, I wouldn't be stuck guarding the gate here."

One of the soldiers sighed.

"Comparisons really make people miserable. What can we do? Some people are destined to be more talented. We can't compare to them."

They were usually bored from circling the plaza every day, so they suddenly had another topic to discuss.

Qin Feng took small steps into Spirit Hall in Notting City.

It was a massive domed structure. From the perspective of someone who had transmigrated, Qin Feng could roughly describe it as medieval European in style, though it also carried a hint of ancient Rome.

In short, it was quite a mishmash.

Its front spanned over a hundred meters, stood more than twenty meters high, and had three full floors.

The entire building was brown, and its main entrance bore the symbol of a longsword. Having reread the novel several times, Qin Feng clearly remembered that this was the emblem of Spirit Hall's lowest-ranking branch hall.

At the main entrance, two Guards stood ramrod straight, carrying themselves somewhat like soldiers.

However, Qin Feng did not sense any particularly strong Soul Power fluctuations from them. It seemed they had not even reached the rank of Spirit Master.

Sure enough, Notting City was remote enough that even Spirit Hall's Guards were only Spirit Scholars.

"Hello, uncles. I'm a student of Notting Junior Spirit Master Academy. My teacher sent me here to test my Soul Power. Could you tell me where I should go?"

Qin Feng asked the two Guards obediently.

Everyone was used to liking polite, well-behaved children. It also made things easier.

Sure enough, seeing how politely Qin Feng asked, one of them crouched down.

"Oh, I see. Little friend, do you see that large round pillar inside? Go in, head up to the second floor, and find Soul Grandmaster Mashuno."

The Guard straightened Qin Feng's clothes, then pointed inside.

"Mm-hmm, thank you, Uncle."

Qin Feng thanked him obediently.

However, just as he reached the pillar and prepared to go upstairs, a surprised gaze fell upon him.

"Kid, what are you doing here?"

A woman in her twenties looked at Qin Feng calmly.

Qin Feng noticed the woman as well.

There were two people at the table, a man and a woman.

"Hello, big sister. I came here to test my Soul Power."

Qin Feng spoke to the woman with great politeness.

"Testing Soul Power? You mean awakening it? Are you another child from some big family?"

The woman looked at Qin Feng with interest after hearing that.

Usually, only children of major clans could come to Spirit Hall to awaken their martial souls whenever they wished.

"No, I already have my first Spirit Ring. I came this time to have my Soul Power assessed."

Though acting cute was shameful, Qin Feng still gazed at the woman with an adorably dazed expression.

In his words, cute was justice, and cuteness worked on both men and women.

To get upstairs faster, Qin Feng had no choice but to resort to this inferior tactic.

He never thought that one day, a grown man like him would actually act cute. It was terrifying.

"Oh, you already have your first Spirit Ring? But you look like you're only six or seven. Hold out your hand and let big sister see what martial soul you have."

The woman's clothing was somewhat revealing. Looking extremely surprised, she crouched down and parted Qin Feng's palm with her fair hand. Qin Feng did not dare look up. The moment he did, he felt like he would get a nosebleed. He was not really a six-year-old child—his mind belonged to an adult!

"Ahem, ahem. Why do I feel this kid doesn't look like someone with a Spirit Ring? Sisi, let me test him."

The male companion beside the woman seemed somewhat displeased and spoke to her.

"What's going on?"

Just then, a voice came from upstairs. An elderly man, neatly dressed but with a head full of white hair, slowly walked down.

The standard three-sword insignia on his body showed that he was a Soul Grandmaster-level Battle Soul Master.

"Grandmaster Mashuno."

The man and woman both addressed the old man with great reverence.

"So it's Yuntao and Sisi. Why are you two making such a fuss here? I assume you both know Spirit Hall's rules very well?"

Grandmaster Mashuno spoke earnestly.

So the man beside her was Su Yuntao.

Hearing Grandmaster Mashuno's words, Qin Feng gave the man another look.

"Grandmaster Mashuno, a child came here to have his Soul Power assessed, but he's a little young."
