Adorable Little Boy

Adorable Little Boy

Su Yuntao explained the situation to Soul Grandmaster Mashinuo.

Children from ordinary families would only have just awakened their Martial Souls at six or seven. How could they possibly come here for an assessment?

Su Yuntao wondered whether someone had deliberately sent this child in to cause trouble.

"An assessment of Soul Power? Are you sure you didn't hear wrong?"

Soul Grandmaster Mashinuo glanced at the child in the Notting Academy uniform, equally surprised. Had the teacher passed along the wrong message?

It should have been a Martial Soul awakening.

But if he had no Soul Power, how could he be wearing the uniform of Notting Junior Spirit Master Academy?

Could it be that a genius had emerged in Notting City?

The more Soul Grandmaster Mashinuo thought about it, the brighter his dim eyes became.

"Hello, Grandpa Soul Grandmaster Mashinuo. My name is Qin Feng. My teacher sent me here to assess my qualifications as a Spirit Master."

Qin Feng introduced himself to the elder before him like a little gentleman.

Short and adorably dazed-looking, yet a little handsome as well, he was scooped up by the woman beside Su Yuntao before he could react, as though she were hugging a doll.

"Adorable and such a little gentleman. A well-mannered child like this is simply lovable."

It had to be said, a little boy like Qin Feng was an absolute killer among older women. The sight made Su Yuntao seethe with jealousy.

"Ahem!"

Soul Grandmaster Mashinuo pretended to cough twice as he looked at Sisi.

Sisi seemed to realize something, and only then did she set Qin Feng down, her cheeks flushed red.

"Since you're here for a Spirit Master assessment, follow me upstairs."

Soul Grandmaster Mashinuo looked at Qin Feng.

"Come on, Sisi. Let's go up and take a look too. Maybe a young genius has appeared in Notting City."

Su Yuntao smiled as he took Sisi's hand, and the two went upstairs together.

Sisi looked at Su Yuntao in surprise. A woman's intuition told her that he seemed to be jealous??

Soul Grandmaster Mashinuo's office was on the second floor. The moment they entered, they were greeted by an ancient atmosphere.

However, the assessment site was not in the office. A narrow path ran alongside it, and following it deeper inside led them to Spirit Hall's Martial Soul testing laboratory.

The laboratory was filled with black stones.

If Qin Feng remembered correctly, these should have been the stones used during Soul Power awakenings.

"Today's Soul Power assessment will begin here. First, let me introduce myself. I am the person in charge of the Spirit Hall Branch. My name is Ma Xiunuo, and I am a Soul Grandmaster. I will be conducting your Soul Power assessment today. Within the Empire, our Spirit Hall..."

"Grandpa Soul Grandmaster Mashinuo, can we begin?"

Watching Soul Grandmaster Mashinuo go on and on, Qin Feng began to panic. He had a feeling the man could talk for more than an hour, so he hurriedly interrupted him.

He was only here to assess his Soul Power. Why make such a simple matter so complicated?

As for Spirit Hall branches, the various Empires, and all that, Qin Feng understood them far better than Soul Grandmaster Mashinuo did, at least in principle, because he was a transmigrator.

"Ah, are young people these days all so impatient? When cultivating Soul Power, it's best not to be so restless. Otherwise, you might end up like me, unable to break through level thirty for your entire life."

Soul Grandmaster Mashinuo sighed as he slowly prepared the testing equipment.

"Soul Grandmaster Mashinuo, you should hurry up and test him. He's only a six-year-old child; he shouldn't have to bear such a heavy burden."

Sisi looked at Soul Grandmaster Mashinuo with utter helplessness.

Soul Grandmaster Mashinuo was a very good man, a wise and profound elder. He was kind and honest, and everyone liked him. His only flaw was that he was far too long-winded.

"Fine, fine, fine. Ah, I'm old. I can't keep up with the way you young people think. I don't know what you're all in such a hurry for."

As Ma Xiunuo finished speaking, he turned toward Qin Feng.

"Child, summon your Martial Soul and Spirit Rings now."

Soul Grandmaster Mashinuo said to Qin Feng.

Qin Feng nodded slightly. Then, as he focused, faint Soul Power surged around his body. A black claw hammer appeared in his palm.

"Pfft!"

Su Yuntao failed to hold back a snicker.

Wasn't that claw hammer exactly like the kind ordinary craftsmen used? How could a Martial Soul like that possibly obtain a Spirit Ring at six or seven years old?

Those who could obtain Spirit Rings at that age were generally children of noble families, because their clans had people who could help them hunt Spirit Beasts.

Su Yuntao did not know about other places, but he knew Notting City quite well. There was absolutely no family there whose Martial Soul was such a low-grade one as a claw hammer.

That meant this child came from a village. How could a village possibly have a six- or seven-year-old child with a Spirit Ring?

It was not that Su Yuntao harbored any hostility toward the child. It was simply highly unlikely.

Even if the child really had a Spirit Ring, he had probably only stumbled upon one that was around ten years old.

These inferior commoner Spirit Masters could receive one gold coin per month from Spirit Hall after passing the assessment and becoming Spirit Masters. They would scrape by on that little money for the rest of their lives.

Sisi shot Su Yuntao an annoyed glare.

Why was Su Yuntao being so narrow-minded? Was that really necessary?

It might be a claw hammer, but it was at least an offensive Weapon Martial Soul. Besides, he was still so young. He might even have a chance to become a Soul Grandmaster in the future.

Furthermore, he had already reached level ten or above at his age. When they had been his age, they had only just awakened their Martial Souls. What was there to laugh about?

"Your Martial Soul is a claw hammer. A Weapon Martial Soul. It's barely decent."

Ma Xiunuo nodded slightly.

"Child, besides summoning your Martial Soul, you must also summon your Spirit Rings. Only then can the assessment be completed properly."

Seeing that Qin Feng had not summoned any Spirit Rings for a long time, Grandmaster Mashuno thought he had not explained himself clearly enough. He gently reminded him in a kind voice.

"Grandpa Ma Xiunuo, Sister Sisi, and Uncle Su Yuntao, could you step back a little?"

Qin Feng looked at the three people gathered around him with his large, round eyes.

"Why do we need to step back a little? Is Xiao Feng feeling shy?"

Ma Xiunuo asked kindly.

Some children were more introverted, and it was normal for them to be unable to summon their Spirit Rings in front of strangers.

"No. I'm worried I might hurt someone."

Qin Feng shook his little head slightly, looking at the three of them with an adorably blank expression.

"It's fine. Just summon them. Everyone here is a Soul Grandmaster, so it won't matter."

Ma Xiunuo looked at Qin Feng with a kindly smile.

Qin Feng then turned his gaze toward Sisi and Su Yuntao.

"Xiao Feng, listen to Soul Grandmaster Mashinuo. Don't worry about us. Just summon them."

Sisi said gently. She had not expected the child to be so considerate, which surprised her a little.

"Tch, is this kid here to make people laugh? He's actually worried about hurting someone. Who could your little Spirit Ring possibly hurt?"

Unlike Sisi, Su Yuntao gave Qin Feng a disdainful glance and sneered.
