Legendary Soul Spirit—Blue Silver Emperor

"Wow, is this the Spirit Pagoda?"

Tang Wulin stared at the building before him in amazement.

He had been able to see this towering Spirit Pagoda from far away. It stood over a hundred stories tall and exceeded four hundred meters in height. Even amid Eastsea City's forest of high-rises, it remained an eye-catching landmark.

Whether viewed from afar or looked up at from nearby, this Spirit Pagoda exuded an awe-inspiring presence, becoming a unique sight on Eastsea City's skyline.

He had visited the Blacksmith Association yesterday. Though it had also been large, it was nowhere near as grand as this building. The difference between them was enormous. (Mu Chen: ...)

At that moment, Tang Wulin gained some understanding of what a major power was. Gathering his thoughts, he stepped into the Spirit Pagoda and curiously looked around.

"Little brother, what can I do for you?" The sweet-looking girl behind the first-floor counter saw Tang Wulin enter and asked with a smile.

"Um, my name is Tang Wulin. I'm here to collect my subsidy." Tang Wulin somewhat shyly took out his storage bracelet and placed it on the counter. "May I ask how much I can collect each month?"

Although Tang Wulin had avoided a conflict with Xie Xie because of the bracelet, there were gains and losses. Since Xie Xie had not fought him, no one was helping him pay compensation for the damaged public property. Tang Wulin himself did not want to owe the money for too long, so he had come to collect his subsidy.

And to take a look at how big the Spirit Pagoda was while he was at it.

The girl glanced at the bracelet but did not reach out to touch it. Tang Wulin had looked extremely nervous when he took it out, as though he were afraid someone would take it away.

It seemed very precious to him.

Thinking that, she smiled. "Please place the bracelet into the groove on the counter first."

Tang Wulin shifted his gaze at her words and indeed saw a groove on the counter. He immediately did as instructed.

The instant the bracelet fitted perfectly into the groove, a Soul Guidance Screen appeared before the girl.

It displayed Tang Wulin's basic information, recorded by the Aolai City Spirit Pagoda just one week ago.

The girl looked through the various details and gradually got the picture.

Because of his angle and height, Tang Wulin could not see it. He merely marveled at how impressive this suddenly appearing Soul Guidance Screen was.

"Little brother Tang Wulin, do you have any specialties? Such as a sub-profession?" After reading his information, the girl smiled and asked, "If you have bonuses from a sub-profession, you can receive a larger subsidy."

"A sub-profession?"

Tang Wulin froze, then his eyes instantly lit up. "Does blacksmithing count?"

"Of course it does." The girl nodded.

"I only became a Level 2 Blacksmith yesterday!" Tang Wulin said happily.

"!!!"

The girl's eyes widened.

Wow, a golden legend!

A nine-year-old Level 2 Blacksmith had already surpassed the Blacksmith Association's previous record!

Her eyes shone brightly. After Tang Wulin showed his Level 2 Blacksmith Badge, she transferred thirty thousand Federal Coins to him as quickly as possible, instantly leaving him dazed.

One month's subsidy was nearly half the price of a Ten-Year Soul Spirit! He did not even need to do anything extra—he only had to check in at the Spirit Pagoda. It was easier than making money through blacksmithing...

Thinking of that, Tang Wulin nervously asked, "Isn't this too much?"

"It isn't too much, little brother Wulin. If you join the Spirit Pagoda, your subsidy will be even higher."

The girl chuckled, introduced Tang Wulin to many more benefits of joining the Spirit Pagoda, then sent the still-dazed Tang Wulin out of the Spirit Pagoda.

Afterward, she returned to the counter and instantly entered work mode. Looking at the Soul Guidance Screen that remained, she typed in a passage.

Tang Wulin advanced to Level 2 Blacksmith at the age of nine. He currently holds a friendly attitude toward the Spirit Pagoda and greatly treasures the Spirit Pagoda Soul Guidance Bracelet. Recommend continued investment and recruiting him into the Forging Department for training...

After typing that, the girl considered it for a moment. Only after confirming that her assessment was not overly subjective did she formally enter the information.

After all these years, they had long since developed their own set of methods for recruiting talented commoners into the Spirit Pagoda.

The Spirit Pagoda had plenty of tricks!

The idle Carefree Douluo browsed information on the Spirit Pagoda Internal Network. When he saw Tang Wulin's newly uploaded information, he raised an eyebrow.

"A Level 2 Blacksmith with a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul and Innate Soul Power of rank three?"

Any member familiar with the Spirit Pagoda's development history would not underestimate someone merely because of their Martial Soul and Innate Soul Power. Naturally, neither would he.

After all, among the Spirit Pagoda's First Generation Members had been a Strong Expert with Innate Soul Power of only rank three who had ultimately become a Super Douluo.

And over the past Ten Thousand Years, there had been several similar examples among those who had defied fate and become Spirit Pagoda Pillar Stones.

Discriminating against others because of their Martial Souls would be no less than disrespecting those predecessors.

Moreover, Hua Yichen also knew something about Thousand Forgings. A nine-year-old child capable of completing Thousand Forgings possessed extraordinary strength. This child was not ordinary to begin with...

"Forget it. Why think so much about it now? If he is willing to join the Spirit Pagoda, then even if his cultivation truly holds back his blacksmithing talent, we can apply for a Blue Silver Grass Soul Spirit for him to improve his aptitude."

Thinking of several research projects at headquarters, Hua Yichen signed his name on Tang Wulin's file and instructed those below to pay close attention to him.

Ten Thousand Years Ago, the First Generation Tower Master had found a one-hundred-ninety-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor in the Sun Moon Empire. Unable to survive the Heavenly Tribulation, it had transformed into a Soul Spirit and was now one of the Spirit Pagoda's foundations.

With the emergence of Artificial Soul Spirit technology, some researchers had fancifully set their sights on Blue Silver Grass Soul Spirits. With the Blue Silver Emperor's help, they had already achieved results.

An Advanced Division Student at Eastsea Academy with a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul had been sent to headquarters by Hua Yichen after signing an agreement, where he received the results of that research.

That Student had been rather lucky. His Martial Soul carried a trace of Blue Silver King Bloodline.

Those Soul Spirits all carried a trace of Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline. According to the researchers, once the Soul Spirit evolved to ten thousand years, that Student's Martial Soul would become a true Blue Silver King Martial Soul because of the contract's feedback!

Tang Wulin might not be so fortunate, but improving the origin of his Martial Soul should still be possible.

Of course, that was contingent on him being willing to join the Spirit Pagoda.

"It seems Wulin has been doing quite well."

Watching Huo Yuhao and the other person leave, Tang Ziran sighed. "The difference between a Ten-Year Soul Spirit and a Century Soul Spirit really is like heaven and earth."

They had just joined the Mecha Master Association. Earlier, they had seen Huo Yuhao and the other person wearing Eastsea Academy uniforms and struck up a conversation. They had not expected to truly hear news of Wulin.

Lang Yue smiled. "Yes. According to Teacher Mang Tian, Wulin's Blue Silver Grass is extremely tough. It may be because of that Century Soul Spirit. (Actually, it was because of the Golden Dragon King Bloodline.) Now he has entered Class 2 because of it too. That's wonderful."

"As long as he works hard, things will only get better in the future." Tang Ziran smiled, then turned and walked toward his workstation. "I've already found a place. We'll first earn enough money to buy back our home in East Sea, then tell Wulin."

Lang Yue nodded gently. "Mm!"

Elsewhere, Gu Yuena withdrew her gaze in confusion. Her beautiful eyes glanced at Huo Yuhao, but she did not voice the question in her heart.

I seem to have gotten used to obtaining information about gods from him. That isn't a good habit.

"They really are ordinary people." What surprised Gu Yuena was that Huo Yuhao had already seen through her confusion. "There is no need to worry."

"..."

Gu Yuena pursed her lips.

Am I really that easy to read?

Huo Yuhao explained briefly, then turned his attention to the Soul Guidance Screen in his hand. It was an object like a Crystal Shard, somewhat similar to a phone, yet also different.

Looking at Tang Wulin's information, prominently marked on the internal network, Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes.
