Martial Soul Mutation

Nuoding City, Martial Soul Hall.

As soon as Yu Cheng arrived, he was stopped by two guards.

"Halt, this is a restricted area of the Martial Soul Hall. No unauthorized personnel allowed."

"Brothers, I awakened my martial soul a few months ago. But my martial soul has undergone some changes in the past few days, and I want to see Master Su Yuntao."

Yu Cheng put on a smile.

The two guards exchanged glances. The guard on the right said, "You can come with me. The Steward is in the Martial Soul Hall."

A moment later, they arrived at Su Yuntao's office.

After the guard reported Yu Cheng's situation, Su Yuntao immediately stood up in surprise.

"There's such a thing!"

As a Steward of the Martial Soul Hall, Su Yuntao had received professional training.

No matter what strange martial soul he encountered, he would not be surprised.

He had even personally awakened a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul with Innate Full Soul Power not long ago.

But a martial soul mutating months after awakening was something he had truly never heard of.

"Release your martial soul."

Su Yuntao said seriously.

Yu Cheng nodded and released his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul.

A blue-green stem, about a finger thick. Several leaves emitted a faint blue light, looking like jade.

Upon closer inspection, one could see faint black threads hidden within the veins of the leaves.

"This..."

Su Yuntao stroked his chin, pondering for a moment.

"Martial Soul Mutation!"

"This must be a Martial Soul Mutation recorded in the books."

In fact, Su Yuntao couldn't figure out much.

Since the appearance of the martial soul had changed, there was no doubt that it was a Martial Soul Mutation!

"Come, let's test your soul power."

Su Yuntao took a blue crystal ball from the storage cabinet.

Yu Cheng placed his right hand on the crystal ball. Instantly, he felt a pulling sensation, and a faint blue light emanated from the crystal ball.

"Level Two Soul Power!"

Su Yuntao's tone was surprised.

"Child, congratulations! Your martial soul has actually mutated!"

"Cultivate well, and in the future, you too will have the opportunity to become a Soul Grand Master expert like me."

He took out a blank Martial Soul Certificate. "What is your name? And which village are you from?"

"My name is Yu Cheng, and I'm from Holy Spirit Village."

"Holy Spirit Village? Your village is truly magical, producing two Mutated Blue Silver Grass martial souls in a row!"

Su Yuntao suddenly remembered that the other child with Innate Full Soul Power was also from Holy Spirit Village.

Yu Cheng smiled.

He had indeed come to the right place by coming to the Martial Soul Hall.

Compared to Tang San's Innate Full Soul Power, his mutated martial soul was nothing.

"Yu Cheng, are you willing to join the Martial Soul Hall? Your village only has one Work-Study Student spot. If you join the Martial Soul Hall, I can apply for another one for you."

A Mutated Blue Silver Grass martial soul and Innate Level Two Soul Power were enough for Su Yuntao to try and recruit him.

Yu Cheng pondered for a moment.

Although he had the help of the Evil Soul Master Yu Cheng, he couldn't be too unconventional when he was weak.

Hiding away to cultivate alone would only attract suspicion.

He couldn't follow the same path as the Evil Soul Master Yu Cheng; he wanted to establish himself as a genius with a mutated martial soul.

"Master Su, I am willing to join the Martial Soul Hall."

Upon hearing this, Su Yuntao revealed a smile.

"Excellent, I'll report to Master Ma Xiunuo. Nuoding Academy starts in a few days, and we can't delay your classes."

With that, he hurried out.

Not long after, all of Yu Cheng's matters were settled.

Martial Soul Certificate.

Work-Study Quota.

Two more Silver Soul Coins appeared in his pocket; this was the monthly subsidy for Martial Soul Hall Reserve Personnel.

Noon, the sun was bright.

Holy Spirit Village.

Yu Cheng walked down the road, and Old Jack, driving his ox cart, approached him.

"Xiao Cheng, I was looking for you."

Old Jack jumped off the ox cart and said with a chuckle.

"The hunter's job is too dangerous, don't do it anymore. The village has discussed it and decided to give you the two barren fields on the east side. You can focus on farming from now on."

The old hunter was kind-hearted. His son and daughter-in-law died early, leaving only Yu Cheng, his only descendant.

Old Jack didn't want Yu Cheng to have an accident, or his family line would end.

"Village Chief, thank you, but I don't need it."

Yu Cheng chuckled.

"What, you're not willing? Then I'll find you an apprentice job in the city?"

Old Jack asked doubtfully.

He was a warm-hearted person, always helping any family in need.

In the past, the Tang San family was the most difficult in the village, but now that Tang San had awakened his Innate Soul Power, he would be a noble Soul Master in the future.

Now, Yu Cheng had become the focus of his attention.

"Village Chief, look!"

Yu Cheng chuckled and took out his Martial Soul Certificate from his chest.

Old Jack took the certificate and, looking at the words "Innate Level Two Soul Power" on it, trembled in shock. The whip he used to drive the ox fell to the ground.

"Level Two Soul Power! Xiao Cheng, didn't you have no soul power?"

Old Jack's eyes were full of disbelief.

"Village Chief, my martial soul mutated, and I retested my soul power with Master Su. He also helped me apply for this work-study quota."

Old Jack took another document. The Martial Soul Hall seal on it shone brightly under the sunlight.

"Oh my!"

Old Jack slapped his thigh.

"In that case, won't our village suddenly have two Soul Masters! A Soul Saint has appeared!"

A few villagers by the roadside also gathered around, their faces full of smiles.

"I knew Xiao Cheng was extraordinary; this child has been smart since he was little."

"Will my boy also mutate and gain Soul Power?"

"..."

Not far away.

Tang San watched all of this, but he didn't go closer.

"Martial Soul Mutation?"

"Yu Cheng actually cultivated Soul Power?"

At this moment, Tang San found this world full of wonders.

He couldn't wait to enter the academy.

He had a premonition that he would definitely meet more powerful people there and gain more.

Night.

The Blacksmith Shop.

Tang San ate his meal in small bites, his mind constantly replaying the scenes from the day.

On the other side, Tang Hao picked up his food basin and ate heartily.

"Xiao San, the cabbage today is a bit salty," Tang Hao said, putting down his food basin.

"Dad, do you know what Martial Soul Mutation is?" Tang San couldn't help but ask.

Tang Hao casually replied, "Why do you ask about this?"

"Yu Cheng's Martial Soul mutated, and he has two levels of Soul Power," Tang San answered.

Originally, Yu Cheng had no Innate Soul Power. Although Tang San looked down on him, he also thought that if he became successful in the future, he would help Yu Cheng if he had the chance.

But now...

Yu Cheng's Martial Soul had mutated and could be cultivated, yet Tang San felt a little uneasy.

Yu Cheng could also cultivate?

On what grounds?

"There's such a thing?"

A glint flashed in Tang Hao's cloudy eyes.

He had seen some mutated Martial Souls before, but most of them were congenital mutations. For example, the Seventh Elder of Clear Sky Sect, his Clear Sky Hammer mutated to have a Fire Attribute.

As for acquired mutations...

There was a high probability that he had obtained some kind of fortuitous encounter, such as a compatible Soul Ring or Soul Bone.

However, Tang Hao had never even heard of a commoner spontaneously developing Innate Soul Power.

He suddenly became interested and wanted to see what had happened to the other party.

"Wash the bowls, I'm going out for a walk."

With that, Tang Hao got up and walked outside.
