Getting Ready to Make Trouble

When it was Bai Luo's turn.

Following Su Yuntao's instructions, Bai Luo stepped into the Hexagram Array. Then, as Su Yuntao had told him, he closed his eyes and began sensing the Martial Soul within his body.

"Alright, open your eyes and summon your Martial Soul!"

Soon, a shout rang out beside his ear. Bai Luo suddenly opened his eyes and stretched out his left hand.

As golden light bloomed, a golden carp Martial Soul emerged from Bai Luo's hand and began swimming through the air.

"This is... a Beast Martial Soul!"

Su Yuntao was immediately startled when he saw Bai Luo's carp Martial Soul.

Because of Su Yuntao's surprise, Tang San and the other children who had yet to undergo Martial Soul Awakening also turned their attention to Bai Luo.

"A Beast Martial Soul... Although carp are very weak, Beast Martial Souls have a much higher chance of possessing Soul Power than Item Martial Souls..."

Looking at the Remnant Carp Martial Soul in Bai Luo's hand, Su Yuntao murmured to himself. His eyes grew brighter and brighter. He picked up the deep-blue crystal ball from the wooden table and handed it to Bai Luo.

"Put your hand on it. Let me see your Soul Power."

At Su Yuntao's instruction, Bai Luo placed his hand on the deep-blue crystal ball.

In an instant, the crystal ball emitted a faint glow.

"Innate Level 2 Soul Power? Not bad!"

Upon discovering that Bai Luo's Remnant Carp Martial Soul possessed Innate Level 2 Soul Power, Su Yuntao nodded, a smile appearing on his face.

Although Innate Level 2 Soul Power was nothing worth mentioning across the entire continent, it was still quite good in a small place like Notting City.

Even his own Innate Soul Power had only been Level 2.

"Your Innate Soul Power is Level 2. You have the qualifications to become a Soul Master. Go wait outside for now. Once I've finished awakening all their Martial Souls, I'll give you your Martial Soul certificate."

Putting away the crystal ball, Su Yuntao spoke to Bai Luo with a smile.

"Thank you for the trouble, Master. I'll head out first, then."

Bai Luo politely bowed to Su Yuntao before turning and walking outside.

Behind him, the children who had not yet undergone Martial Soul Awakening looked at Bai Luo's departing figure with eyes full of envy.

As he watched Bai Luo's back, Su Yuntao was pleased to have awakened a child qualified to become a Soul Master, but he also felt some regret.

Although awakening a child with the qualifications to become a Soul Master would benefit him greatly, Bai Luo's Innate Soul Power was only Level 2. It was still far too low.

If Bai Luo's Soul Power had been Level 5 or above, he could have reported it to the Martial Soul Main Hall and received a substantial reward.

Meanwhile, after leaving the Martial Soul Branch Hall.

At the entrance to the Martial Soul Branch Hall, Old Jack stood beneath the shade of a large tree, leaning on his cane as he paced in circles, looking anxious and uneasy.

When he saw Bai Luo come out, Old Jack immediately hurried over and asked hopefully, "Little Luo, how did it go? Do you have the qualifications to become a Soul Master?"

Bai Luo simply smiled. "Grandpa Old Jack, I got lucky. I happened to awaken a Martial Soul with Soul Power. My Innate Soul Power is Level 2."

"Little Luo, you... you have the qualifications to become a Soul Master? Holy Soul Village has finally produced another child with the potential to become a Soul Master. Wonderful! This is truly wonderful!"

Hearing Bai Luo's answer, Old Jack froze at first, as though he could not believe it. Then he burst into tears of joy and looked up at the sky, choking up with excitement.

"Child, thank you. You've fulfilled this old man's long-held wish!"

After calming down somewhat, Old Jack reached out with trembling hands and clasped Bai Luo's hand.

But compared to Old Jack's excitement, Bai Luo remained calm. He merely smiled and said, "Grandpa Old Jack, don't get so excited. My Innate Soul Power is only Level 2. Maybe someone after me will have even better talent."

"Level 2 Soul Power is already very good. For an ordinary village like ours, producing a Soul Master is far too difficult!"

Old Jack sighed, sounding rather wistful.

As Bai Luo and Old Jack waited beneath the shade of the tree.

Several more boys and girls emerged from the Martial Soul Branch Hall, but unfortunately, none of them had the qualifications to become Soul Masters.

Finally, Su Yuntao came out of the Martial Soul Branch Hall with Tang San, and Old Jack hurried over once again.

"What! Little San actually has a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul with Innate Full Soul Power?"

After learning about Tang San's situation from Su Yuntao, Old Jack was dumbfounded.

As the village chief of Holy Soul Village, Old Jack knew a little about Soul Masters. He knew Blue Silver Grass was a useless Martial Soul, but wasn't Innate Full Soul Power supposed to appear only in the most powerful Martial Souls?

How could a useless Martial Soul like Blue Silver Grass possibly possess Innate Full Soul Power?

Seeing Old Jack's shocked expression, as though he could not make sense of it no matter how hard he tried, Su Yuntao helplessly shook his head and sighed.

"This is the first time I've ever seen Innate Full Soul Power appear in a useless Martial Soul like Blue Silver Grass. It's simply unheard of!"

As he spoke, Su Yuntao handed Bai Luo's and Tang San's Martial Soul certificates to Old Jack.

"These are the Martial Soul certificates for the two children. Keep them safe!"

After taking the certificates and accepting reality, Old Jack's face became full of conflict.

"Master, a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul with Innate Full Soul Power should still be able to cultivate normally, right?"

"Of course! The talent of Innate Full Soul Power will not be affected by Blue Silver Grass being a useless Martial Soul. It's just that a useless Martial Soul like Blue Silver Grass is too weak. It has absolutely no future prospects!"

Su Yuntao shook his head with a sigh. Then he leaped into the air, quickly crossing the rooftops of one wooden house after another before vanishing from sight.

After Su Yuntao left, Old Jack leaned on his cane and prepared to take Bai Luo and Tang San home.

"Little Luo, our village only has one Work-study Student slot. Little San has Innate Full Soul Power, so..."

Along the way, Old Jack struggled with the matter for quite a while, but in the end, he still spoke to Bai Luo with forced guilt.

"Grandpa Old Jack, my talent is much lower than Tang San's. This slot is definitely better given to Tang San."

Bai Luo smiled faintly, as though he had taken it well.

In truth, he had long expected this outcome.

Old Jack's greatest dream was for Holy Soul Village to produce another Soul Saint. His Innate Soul Power was much lower than Tang San's, and his talent was far inferior. It was only natural for Old Jack to choose Tang San.

Besides, to put it bluntly, what could he do about it?

Refuse to accept it out of spite?

He could do that, but it would definitely be pointless.

As an orphan, Bai Luo had only been able to grow up safely because Old Jack had helped him quite a bit.

The Work-study Student slot was not all that important to Bai Luo anyway.

It was better not to make things difficult for Old Jack.

Rather than making both sides uncomfortable, he might as well generously give the slot to Tang San.

That way, both Old Jack and Tang San would feel guilty toward him.

"Little Luo, Grandpa has wronged you!"

Seeing how sensible Bai Luo was, Old Jack felt even more guilty, and his voice began to choke up.

"Bai Luo..."

Tang San had not expected Bai Luo to so readily give him the village's only Work-study Student slot. He froze for a moment, feeling somewhat embarrassed as well.

"Enough! Tang San, Grandpa Old Jack gave you the Work-study Student slot because he hopes you'll cultivate diligently, become a Soul Saint as soon as possible, and make the name of Holy Soul Village worthy of its reputation. Don't let him down."

"As for me, if you really feel sorry for me, then become a Soul Master sooner. I've heard that Soul Masters can receive a Soul Master allowance from Spirit Hall—one Gold Soul Coin every month. When the time comes, just help me enroll normally."

Before Tang San could say anything else, Bai Luo directly cut him off.

Bai Luo truly did not want to keep dragging this out. He wanted to return home sooner, so he simply used these words to shut Tang San up.

Hearing this, Old Jack felt that it made sense, and the guilt in his heart eased considerably.

As they walked, they soon neared Bai Luo's home.

After saying goodbye to Tang San and Old Jack, Bai Luo quickly headed toward his house and soon returned home.

"Whew! Finally back!"

After returning home, Bai Luo entered his room and immediately sat down on the bed.

He stretched out his hand and watched as the Remnant Carp Martial Soul swam out from his palm, circling continuously through the air around him. Bai Luo lay down on the bed, resting his head on his arm, and let out a long breath, feeling greatly relieved.

The matter of Martial Soul Awakening was finally over.

Yesterday, he had spent the entire day thinking about how to use the Supreme Avatar System to make trouble on the Douluo Continent, and he had more or less figured it out.

Right now, he only had the Young Desolate Heaven Emperor avatar to stir things up.

Of the major events he knew would happen on the Douluo Continent in the near future, the only one he could seemingly make use of was Spirit Hall going to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt down Xiao Wu and her mother.

Although he did not know exactly when this would happen.

But judging by the time Xiao Wu appeared at Notting Academy, Spirit Hall would most likely be heading to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt Xiao Wu and her mother around now.

If he sent the Young Desolate Heaven Emperor avatar to the Star Dou Great Forest now and happened to encounter Spirit Hall hunting Xiao Wu and her mother, he could intervene and stop it.

The Source Energy Points he could obtain would definitely be considerable!

Thinking of this, Bai Luo immediately sat up from the bed and summoned the Young Desolate Heaven Emperor avatar.
