Tang San's Fire Stick Martial Spirit

Before long, Li Yue and Tang San had both turned six.

For children on the Douluo Continent, this was a crucial age—the age when they could awaken their martial spirits.

Li Yue knew that his martial spirit would be the Blue Silver Emperor. Before losing consciousness at the end of his previous life, he had given the system one instruction.

By settling part of Tang San's karmic ties, he had obtained the Blue Silver Emperor martial spirit. This martial spirit awakening should allow him to awaken the Blue Silver Emperor smoothly.

Even before awakening his martial spirit, Li Yue still felt close to the Blue Silver Grass near his home. He could sense the reverence those Blue Silver Grasses held for him.

This was not only because of the spiritual strength he had accumulated in his previous life, which allowed him to sense the spirits of plants and trees. It was also because his Blue Silver Emperor martial spirit, incomparably noble among Blue Silver Grass, was taking effect.

Of course, the transformation of this Blue Silver Grass under the continuous effects of Li Father's first soul skill was also one reason.

That day, a Soul Master dressed in Spirit Hall robes arrived in Holy Spirit Village. It was Su Yuntao, the man responsible for the martial spirit awakening ceremonies in several nearby villages.

His arrival immediately livened up the peaceful little village.

The adults brought their children over and gathered together. They knew this was an opportunity that could change their families' fates.

If Soul Power could be detected, they could shed their status as commoners and become noble Lord Soul Masters. From then on, they would rise above others.

The children lined up excitedly, hoping to awaken powerful martial spirits and praying that they would possess Innate Soul Power.

On the Douluo Continent, even children understood the importance of martial spirits. They knew that awakening Innate Soul Power would let them soar to the heavens in a single step.

Li Yue and Tang San stood within that line.

Li Yue looked exceptionally calm. He already knew that his martial spirit would be the Blue Silver Emperor, and that his Innate Soul Power would be level ten.

He had already sensed the bottleneck in his cultivation. Only after attaching a soul ring could his internal energy continue to grow. On the Douluo Continent, it could be called Soul Power.

Tang San, meanwhile, was somewhat excited. He was very curious about what his martial spirit would be.

As someone from a martial arts world, this was Tang San's first encounter with something as miraculous as martial spirits. He was about to awaken one himself, so excitement was only natural.

Li Yue was the first to awaken. Given his family's status in Holy Spirit Village, it would have been difficult for him not to go first.

He stepped forward and stood amid six black stones arranged in a hexagon.

As Su Yuntao injected six streams of Soul Power into the stones, a layer of pale golden light enveloped Li Yue.

Above Li Yue's palm, golden motes of light gathered, and a stalk of Blue Silver Grass with golden patterns slowly grew forth.

At the same time, he sensed that his Xuanxin Gong seemed to have changed as well. The change was subtle, but he still noticed it.

Disappointment showed in Su Yuntao's eyes. "Blue Silver Grass. This is a useless martial spirit. Even if you become a Soul Master, it won't be of much use."

Hearing Su Yuntao's verdict, Li Yue was delighted. The Blind Douluo truly lived up to his reputation. He had not even noticed such obvious golden patterns.

Even though he knew his martial spirit was the Blue Silver Emperor and that a glorious future awaited him, it was only after receiving Su Yuntao's declaration of "useless martial spirit," along with this buff, that Li Yue finally felt truly secure.

Su Yuntao then handed him a blue crystal ball. "Next, let me see whether you have Soul Power. If you do, then even with the useless Blue Silver Grass martial spirit, you can still become a Soul Master. Place your hand on it, and it will test your Innate Soul Power."

Li Yue extended his right hand and pressed it against the surface of the crystal ball.

The instant he touched it, the crystal ball erupted with a powerful suction force, trying to draw Li Yue's internal energy into it.

This Soul Tool was rather interesting. Li Yue allowed the crystal ball to absorb his internal energy, only using the formidable draining power of the Bei Ming Hand to retain a portion of it.

Innate Full Soul Power was far too conspicuous, especially when his martial spirit was Blue Silver Grass with golden patterns. It could easily make Spirit Hall think of certain unpleasant matters.

Even if he retained part of it, it would probably still be conspicuous.

The moment Li Yue placed his hand on it, the crystal ball burst forth with dazzling light.

Su Yuntao was extremely excited. After visiting several villages, he had finally encountered someone with Innate Soul Power, even if his martial spirit was the useless Blue Silver Grass.

"Innate level eight Soul Power!" Su Yuntao was stunned, nearly gaping in disbelief. This was absolutely the highest Innate Soul Power he had ever detected.

In the past, he considered himself lucky if he encountered someone with even a faint glimmer of light. If he found someone with Innate level one Soul Power, it was already a blessing from the gods.

Yet here he was, encountering a boy with Innate level eight Soul Power whose martial spirit was Blue Silver Grass.

He was already considering whether he should confess to Sisi as soon as he returned. Perhaps, while his luck was good, Sisi would agree.

Hearing Su Yuntao's startled cry, the surrounding children and parents all cast curious looks over. They began discussing among themselves, and the scene instantly became extremely lively.

"Innate level eight Soul Power! Is our village about to produce another Soul Saint?"

Old Jack immediately cried out in surprise.

"I told you the Li family's child would awaken Innate Soul Power. His father is a Soul Master, so he couldn't possibly be bad himself."

"Oh my, Sister-in-law Li, my daughter's martial spirit is Blue Silver Grass too. She's such a perfect match for your Yue'er. How about arranging a marriage?"

Li Yue's mother was even more excited. She knew it. She knew her son would awaken Soul Power and become a noble Soul Master.

"No, no, my Yue'er is still young." Li Yue's mother politely turned down the woman who wanted to arrange an engagement with her son.

In her eyes, her Yue'er was first-rate in both looks and talent. How could these wild country girls possibly be worthy of him? Her Yue'er would marry a female Soul Master in the future.

After Li Yue, it was Tang San's turn to awaken his martial spirit.

Seeing the encouragement in Li Yue's eyes, Tang San stepped forward. As Su Yuntao activated the awakening Soul Tool, a flash of golden light appeared, and a black iron rod materialized in his hand.

"What kind of martial spirit is this? A Fire Stick?" Su Yuntao frowned, staring in confusion at the shabby, utterly unremarkable iron rod in Tang San's hand.

If ugliness counted as a distinguishing trait, then it was not entirely unremarkable—this little iron rod was ugly in a particularly distinctive way.

Tang San stared at the iron rod in his hand, feeling a little dazed. Is this my martial spirit? It looks rather strange. Could it be another useless martial spirit?

Drawing on the experience of two lifetimes, he quickly calmed down. So what if it was a useless martial spirit? With the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record, he would surely carve out a place for himself in this world.

"Forget it. Let's test your Innate Soul Power first."

Su Yuntao gave up thinking about it and tested Tang San's Innate Soul Power as well.

The moment Tang San's hand touched the Soul Power testing crystal ball, it too erupted with dazzling light. Compared with Li Yue's, this light was even more brilliant.

"Gasp, Innate Full Soul Power." Su Yuntao sucked in a cold breath and stared at the delicate little girl before him as though he were looking at a monster.

He had not expected that, though she looked ordinary and was even less attractive than the boy before her, she would actually possess Innate Full Soul Power.

Although this iron rod was ugly and might be a useless martial spirit, it could barely still be cultivated as a Battle Spirit Master. His future achievements would certainly be limitless.

Su Yuntao's expression immediately changed. He became warm and friendly as he said to Tang San, "Little one, would you like to join our Spirit Hall?"
