Tadpole Martial Soul? Innate Full Soul Power

"Children, I am your guide, Su Yuntao, a Level 26 Soul Grand Master. I will be the one to awaken your Martial Souls next."

After a simple self-introduction, Su Yuntao took out six black stones and arranged them in a hexagram formation on the ground.

He also held a blue crystal ball in his hand.

"Very good, everyone, come up in order. Don't panic, no matter what you see."

Su Yuntao's attitude towards the children in front of him softened considerably.

There were nine children in total.

When the first child stood in the center of the hexagram formation, Su Yuntao suddenly let out a low roar.

"Lone Wolf. Possess!"

Ye Qiu, Tang San, and all the other children watched with amazement, even horror.

Su Yuntao's muscles visibly bulged, his eyes turned emerald green, and many wolf-like features appeared on his body.

"Don't be afraid, close your eyes and feel carefully."

Su Yuntao gently soothed the child in the hexagram formation, guiding him to awaken his Martial Soul.

A flicker of curiosity flashed in Ye Qiu's eyes.

The hexagram formed by the black stones began to shine with golden light, and points of light entered the boy's body.

"Extend your right hand."

Su Yuntao's emerald green eyes stared at the boy, commanding him with authority.

The boy subconsciously extended his right hand.

In an instant, all the light points that had entered his body rushed out.

A sickle appeared in his palm.

"Alright, let's test your Soul Power!"

Su Yuntao handed the blue crystal ball to the boy, showing no disappointment in his eyes.

As if accustomed to it, he announced:

"Child, your Martial Soul has no Soul Power. Next!"

After the child left with a bewildered sense of regret, the Martial Soul awakening ceremony proceeded in an orderly fashion.

"Pickle Martial Soul, no Soul Power, next!"

"Freesia Martial Soul, no Soul Power, next!"

"..."

"Martial Soul: Blue Silver Grass, no Soul Power, next!"

Soon, the first seven children had completed their Martial Soul awakenings.

Unsurprisingly, none of them possessed Innate Soul Power and could not become honored Soul Masters.

Next up was Tang San.

Su Yuntao's words were almost mechanical.

"Martial Soul: Blue Silver Grass, no— Wait!"

"Hiss—! Innate Full Soul Power. How is this possible?!"

Su Yuntao gasped sharply.

Looking at the blue crystal ball in his hand, his eyes were filled with shock.

"It's Innate Full Soul Power!"

Tang San looked at the ordinary little grass in his palm, his expression full of curiosity.

"What a pity! Such a pity that it's a trash Martial Soul!"

After his shock, Su Yuntao couldn't help but sigh.

"Trash Martial Soul?"

Tang San was bewildered.

He didn't have much concept of Martial Souls yet.

But the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record told him to never easily expose his full capabilities.

Therefore, Tang San was tightly clenching his left hand at this moment.

There was a hammer in there!

"A real shame. Next!"

Su Yuntao composed himself, waved Tang San away, and turned his gaze to the last candidate, Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu, mimicking Tang San, stepped inside the hexagram.

As Su Yuntao injected his Soul Power...

Ye Qiu saw golden light enter his body and immediately felt his blood start to boil. It was as if something was about to burst out. Wisps of black energy coiled around Ye Qiu's entire body.

Seeing this, Su Yuntao's eyes lit up, and he softly instructed, "Kid, quickly extend your right hand."

Ye Qiu raised his right hand as instructed. Instantly, golden light erupted, and black light flared, condensing continuously.

Tang San, who had been about to leave, stopped due to the commotion Ye Qiu was causing.

As Ye Qiu's Martial Soul manifested...

Su Yuntao's eyes filled with anticipation, only to be stunned. "What is that, a little, little tadpole?!"

Hearing this, Ye Qiu focused his gaze. His own face darkened. Damn it, is this a frog's regression? Did my jinx actually come true?

On the pad of Ye Qiu's middle finger lay a small, comma-shaped tadpole. It was primarily black, with a pair of white symbols resembling eyes taking up half its body.

"It's a trash Martial Soul," Su Yuntao said, shaking his head listlessly. Even if it was a tadpole, it was just too small! Low vitality, unhealthy! He had expected something grand, but instead, it was a tiny speck.

Ye Qiu sighed but wasn't overly disappointed. Even if his Martial Soul wasn't impressive, he could feel Soul Power within him. That was enough for him to give it his all! He wasn't sure of his exact level, but he held no expectations.

Seeing that everything was settled, Tang San no longer lingered.

Although Su Yuntao was greatly disappointed, he didn't forget his duty. "Come, let's test your Innate Soul Power!"

"Okay." Ye Qiu calmly extended his small hand and placed it on the crystal ball. In the blink of an eye, the crystal ball was filled with brilliant light.

"Innate Full Soul Power!!" Su Yuntao exclaimed, his eyes wide. Immediately, he felt heartbroken. What sin did I commit? To have two Innate Full Soul Power users with trash Martial Souls!

Tang San, who was about to leave, stopped upon hearing this, looking at Ye Qiu in astonishment.

Unlike Su Yuntao's heartbroken lament, Ye Qiu was ecstatic. His eyes, like black pearls, shone brightly. My Martial Soul is definitely not ordinary! Ye Qiu was certain! Innate Full Soul Power is enough to silence all doubt!

"Ah, what a pity," Su Yuntao said, shaking his head helplessly. He had no choice but to pick up his pen and paper and truthfully record Ye Qiu's Martial Soul and Innate Soul Power.

Ye Qiu said nothing.

It wasn't the time to vindicate his Martial Soul.

His current words carried little weight.

Perhaps when he went to Notting City to register as a Soul Master, he would be discovered and recruited?

At that time, the choice would be entirely his.

Not long after.

Su Yuntao, who was on the verge of tears, brought Ye Qiu and Tang San to the front of the wooden house.

Old Jack eagerly stepped forward.

"Master, how is it? Are there any children in our village who can become Soul Masters?"

The arrogance on Su Yuntao's face lessened slightly, but he seemed more pained.

He spoke with some difficulty.

"Old Jack, congratulations!"

"Your village has produced two talents this year! See for yourselves."

Before he finished speaking.

Su Yuntao shoved two Martial Soul certificates into Old Jack's arms.

Then he hurried to leave.

"Alright, my mission is heavy, so I won't be staying any longer."

However.

Before Su Yuntao could get far.

Old Jack's wails pierced his heart twice more.

"Good heavens--!"

"Innate Full Soul Power! What? Two useless Martial Souls?!"

Old Jack felt like he was dreaming.

The words "Innate Full Soul Power" and "useless Martial Soul" made his head spin.

Seeing the unsteady Old Jack.

Su Yuntao felt a bit better and hurried away.

"Truly heaven-defying."

Old Jack was heartbroken. These were two Innate Full Soul Powers!

Ye Qiu covered his ears.

He said helplessly, "Grandpa Jack, don't strain yourself."

"Sigh."

Old Jack let out a long sigh of helplessness.

He collected himself, then crouched down and gently petted Ye Qiu and Tang San's heads.

He comforted them, "Two little fellows, don't be discouraged. At least you can become Soul Masters. After some time, Grandpa will send you to the Soul Master Academy."

Ye Qiu nodded with a smile and generously offered Old Jack a handful of candy.

"Thank you, Grandpa Jack. Would you like some candy?"

Old Jack chuckled, speechless.

"Okay, Grandpa won't eat for free. How about I treat you to a meal? Tang San, you too."

Tang San's eyes flickered with confusion, and he gently shook his head.

"Grandpa Jack, I won't go. Dad is waiting for me to cook. And I need to ask my dad about going to school first."

"Tsk, your dead drunkard of a father really doesn't make things easy."

Old Jack frowned and rebuked.

Tang San's gaze flickered, and he didn't argue with him.

"If that's the case, Grandpa will accompany you home."

"..."

Wishing you all a pleasant life!
