Nuoding City, Spirit Hall Branch.

At Spirit Hall, after the annual Martial Soul Awakening Day had ended.

Yu Xiaogang, dressed in a black scholar's robe, with a short flat haircut, a stiff face, and a beard covering his cheeks, left Nuoding Academy as usual with his hands behind his back and made his way to the Nuoding City Spirit Hall Branch.

It was the beginning of the month.

Yu Xiaogang presented his Martial Soul Certificate, completed the registration, and successfully collected this month's Spirit Master Subsidy.

As a Soul Grandmaster, he could receive ten Gold Soul Coins in Spirit Master Subsidy every month.

That money was enough for him to live quite comfortably in Nuoding City.

But this time, after collecting the ten Gold Soul Coins, Yu Xiaogang looked at the coins in his hand, and a trace of reluctance flashed through his eyes.

After leaving the place where he had registered and collected his subsidy.

Yu Xiaogang passed through several corridors and arrived at an office.

Inside, a lanky middle-aged man in a Spirit Hall uniform sat behind a desk. His face was full of shrewdness, and his eyes gleamed sharply.

"Same deal as always. Here are one hundred Gold Soul Coins!"

"Give me this year's Martial Soul Awakening List!"

Yu Xiaogang walked over, took out a money pouch, poured its hundred Gold Soul Coins onto the desk, braced both hands against the tabletop, and spoke in a low voice.

"Rest assured, Master."

"We've worked together for so many years. I had it prepared long ago!"

The shrewd middle-aged man chuckled, immediately swept the pile of one hundred Gold Soul Coins toward himself, and handed Yu Xiaogang a stack of documents.

This was this year's list recording the Martial Soul Awakening results of children in Nuoding City and the surrounding villages.

As a "Martial Soul Theory Master."

Although he had yet to produce any theory truly belonging to himself.

Yu Xiaogang still carried out "Martial Soul theory research" every year at Nuoding Academy.

His specific research method was to purchase, from this shrewd middle-aged man, the annual Martial Soul Awakening Lists of children from Nuoding City and the surrounding villages.

Then he would see whether there was anyone who could serve as a research subject.

Of course, Yu Xiaogang also had another important purpose: to see whether he could uncover a genius with Innate Soul Power above Rank Eight!

If he could find such a genius and nurture them into a powerful Titled Douluo.

Then he would be able to prove that he deserved the title of Martial Soul Theory Master!

But unfortunately, after all these years.

Yu Xiaogang had not found a single genius with Innate Soul Power above Rank Eight.

As for research subjects, he had not found even one.

Every year, he could collect only some useless information at most.

This left Yu Xiaogang deeply disappointed.

And when he thought about how he had to spend a full hundred Gold Soul Coins every year to buy these lists.

To the point that his life had become rather tight.

Yu Xiaogang began to waver and could not help deciding to persist for one more year.

If there were still no results next year.

Then he would stop buying these lists.

After putting the stack of lists into his Storage Soul Tool and taking it out of the Spirit Hall Branch.

The moment he had gone some distance from the Spirit Hall Branch.

Yu Xiaogang impatiently took out the list and began reading through it carefully.

"Wait!"

Very quickly, Yu Xiaogang saw an unbelievable piece of information.

"Innate Rank Three Soul Power, Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul?!"

He discovered that in a village called Maple Forest Village.

There was actually a child named Ye Luo who had awakened a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul with Innate Rank Three Soul Power.

Yu Xiaogang simply could not believe it.

"No! That's impossible!"

"How could a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul possess Innate Soul Power at Rank Three!"

"I have investigated more than six hundred Soul Masters whose Martial Souls were Blue Silver Grass. Of them, only sixteen possessed Soul Power, a probability of less than three percent."

"And even among those sixteen Blue Silver Grass Soul Masters, none had Innate Soul Power above Rank One. Many were even worse than me."

"A weak Trash Martial Soul like Blue Silver Grass could never produce Innate Rank Three Soul Power!"

"There must be a problem here!"

Because he believed that a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul could not naturally produce Innate Rank Three Soul Power.

Yu Xiaogang immediately became eager to find Ye Luo of Maple Forest Village and study this phenomenon.

If he could uncover the secret behind how a Trash Martial Soul like Blue Silver Grass could produce Innate Rank Three Soul Power.

Then write it into a Martial Soul theory and publish it!

Then I'll be able to prove that my title of Martial Soul Theory Master is not undeserved!

Yu Xiaogang's heart was filled with burning anticipation.

Maple Forest Village.

Early morning.

The sky had only just brightened, and the fiery rising sun was still surrounded by orange-red clouds at the horizon.

At that moment, a thin layer of mist still hung among the trees of Maple Forest Village.

Crystal-clear droplets of dew clung vividly to the branches of the trees, the thick Weeds on the ground, and the Blue Silver Grass.

After breakfast, Ye Luo put on a straw hat, carried a hoe over his shoulder, strapped on a bamboo basket, and headed toward the Back Mountain.

After independently developing the Blue Silver Grass Meditation Method.

Ye Luo had discovered that the more Blue Silver Grass there was in his surroundings while meditating, the greater his cultivation efficiency became.

This made Ye Luo decide to transplant all the Blue Silver Grass in the village onto the slope of a small hill on the Back Mountain.

He had already reclaimed a plot of land there specifically for growing Blue Silver Grass.

It had begun to take shape.

As he walked through the village.

After digging up all the Blue Silver Grass growing by the roadside and placing it into his basket.

Ye Luo once again climbed the small hill and continued planting the Blue Silver Grass one stalk at a time in the reclaimed field, then watering and fertilizing it.

In the blink of an eye, two hours passed.

"Xiao Luo! Xiao Luo!"

Suddenly, Ye Luo heard a familiar elderly voice calling out.

When he turned around, he saw Village Elder Tom leaning on his cane as he made his way over at the foot of the hill, his old, bark-like face full of excitement.

"Village Elder, what is it?"

"Did something happen?"

After coming down the hill, Ye Luo asked curiously.

"Good news! Great news!"

Old Tom stroked his snow-white beard beneath his chin and laughed heartily as he said.

"A Martial Soul Theory Master from Nuoding City has come to our village. He said he heard that you, Xiao Luo, awakened a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul with Innate Rank Three Soul Power. That's very rare, so he intends to guide your cultivation."

What?

Ye Luo frowned, not quite believing it.

Whether in his past life or this one.

He believed that there was no such thing as a free lunch!

Innate Rank Three Soul Power might be considered decent in Nuoding City.

But an Innate Rank Three Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul was absolutely terrible!

With such a Martial Soul and talent.

He did not believe there was any kindhearted person in this world who would come specifically to guide his cultivation!

Still, Village Elder Tom meant well.

So Ye Luo decided to return with Old Tom and take a look first.

After returning to Maple Forest Village with Old Tom and arriving at his home.

Inside Old Tom's living room.

A middle-aged man who looked to be in his thirties or forties sat in the room. He wore a black scholar's robe, had a thin build, a short flat haircut, a stiff face, and a beard covering his cheeks.

The moment Ye Luo saw this flat-haired man in a scholar's robe, he froze.
