Innate Level 15

The next day, Lin Ye woke up early. Because his martial spirit was about to awaken, he hadn't slept well all night.

Although it was only Lin Ye's personal matter, both Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, grandfather and granddaughter, came along. Of course, Xue Di and Bing Di didn't miss it either.

Dugu Bo took out six black stones and arranged them into a formation on the ground.

Then he produced a round blue crystal ball. With the support of his soul power, it floated strangely in midair.

Dugu Bo injected soul power into the formation. Immediately, the six stones emitted a faint golden light. The light interwove, eventually forming a golden formation.

At Dugu Bo's signal, Lin Ye stepped into the formation.

"Focus your mind, close your eyes, and feel carefully."

Lin Ye did as he was told, closing his eyes and carefully sensing the changes in his body.

The dazzling golden light shone on him, bringing an indescribable sense of comfort.

A warm aura seeped into his body. Guided by that warm energy, something inside him seemed to shatter.

That warm feeling came quickly, but left even faster. In an instant, a cold, gloomy aura came from behind him.

He subconsciously turned to look. The next moment, Lin Ye saw a black shadow floating half a meter above the ground. The shadow had a human outline, its face blurry, with only a pair of slightly eerie red eyes visible. Wisps of black qi drifted across its surface, making it look extremely sinister.

So this was his martial spirit—Ghost Spirit.

It felt a bit like a wandering ghost, didn't it? Well, there really wasn't much difference.

Dugu Bo's eyes lit up. This martial spirit was clearly no ordinary one. With such a strong spirit, his innate soul power probably wouldn't be low either.

But it wasn't over yet.

Woo... woo...

Suddenly, eerie gusts of wind swept through the scene. The sunlight unconsciously retreated, replaced by a strange gray mist that shrouded the entire courtyard.

It sounded as if lonely ghosts and vengeful spirits were wailing in his ears, stirring a trace of irritation in Dugu Bo. At the same time, he keenly sensed that his soul power and mental power were being weakened.

However, this weakening was negligible and had no effect on him.

As a Titled Douluo, he was well-traveled and knowledgeable. He immediately recognized that this sudden gray mist was a domain.

A domain was a type of area skill. Once released, it could suppress an enemy's strength while also enhancing oneself.

Any martial spirit capable of awakening a domain was undoubtedly an extremely powerful existence.

Moreover, as far as Dugu Bo knew, most of those who possessed domains only awakened them after breaking through to Titled Douluo. Not like Lin Ye, who was such a freak.

He could only say that this martial spirit was truly extraordinary.

"Try using your will to withdraw your martial spirit. When you want to use it in the future, call it out with the same intention."

Lin Ye nodded slightly. He gave it a try and easily retracted his martial spirit.

This surprised him a bit. Willpower was something invisible and intangible; he thought it would be difficult, but it turned out to be so simple. Perhaps it also had something to do with the Looking Through Autumn Water he had consumed.

"Come, quickly see what your innate soul power is." Dugu Bo excitedly handed the blue crystal ball to Lin Ye, signaling him to place his right hand on it.

The moment his palm touched the crystal ball, Lin Ye felt a huge suction force from it. Some kind of power within his body was being drawn away.

He had never felt this power before. It had only appeared after his martial spirit awakened. Lin Ye knew—this was soul power.

Suddenly, the blue crystal ball lit up. Dazzling blue light spread from a single point in an instant. In the blink of an eye, the ball shone like a brilliant gem. A faint blue halo radiated outward, indescribably moving.

"This... innate full soul power." Dugu Bo exclaimed in shock.

Xue Di, Bing Di, and Dugu Yan were equally astonished. Innate full soul power represented the highest talent a human soul master could possess.

Those with innate full soul power, as long as they didn't die prematurely, were practically guaranteed to become Titled Douluo.

Just as everyone present was stunned, an accident occurred.

With a bang, the blue crystal ball used to test soul power shattered on the spot.

Everyone was momentarily dumbfounded. What was going on? Dugu Bo was also taken aback, but soon, a bold guess appeared in his mind.

Once this guess surfaced, Dugu Bo perked up immediately.

"Come, Xiao Ye, try this one." Dugu Bo took out another crystal ball.

The previous crystal ball could only test soul power within level 10. Exceeding its limit would cause it to explode. This one, however, could withstand soul power below level 30.

Lin Ye did as he was told and placed his hand on the crystal ball again...

A moment later, Dugu Bo's exclamation rang out once more. "This... it's actually Innate Level 15."

Because he was too excited, Dugu Bo's voice trembled faintly.

Dugu Yan was also stunned, her mouth wide open enough to fit an egg. There was actually someone in this world with Innate Level 15 soul power.

Unheard of!

Lin Ye was also grinning from ear to ear. Needless to say, this was definitely thanks to those celestial herbs.

He quickly calmed down. Innate Level 15 was nothing special among the ranks of transmigrators.

Innate full soul power was practically standard for all transmigrators. And what were their martial spirits? The Eastern Emperor Bell, the Pangu Axe, the Chaos Green Lotus—each one more impressive than the last. Some even became gods at six years old.

In comparison, he still had a long way to go. The road ahead was heavy and long!

"Xiao Ye, you're amazing!"

Dugu Yan pressed up close and hoisted Lin Ye up in a celebratory lift, as excited as if she herself had awakened with Innate Level 15 soul power.

Lin Ye's face also lit up with joy. This martial soul was even more freakish than he had imagined.

The Ghost Spirit had a natural skill—Devour. Lin Ye could strengthen himself by devouring the souls of other soul masters.

This was textbook Evil Soul Master methodology.

In truth, many martial souls possessed devouring abilities; Bibi Dong's spider martial soul was the most classic example.

Let's take stock.

Martial Soul: Ghost Spirit.

Soul Power: Innate Level 15.

Innate Ability: Devour.

Innate Domain: Ghost Domain.

Dugu Yan held Lin Ye and bounced up and down, unable to contain her excitement.

Seeing this, Dugu Bo simply smiled, sizing up Lin Ye with a gaze that blended admiration and envy.

Mm, the more he looked, the more agreeable the boy seemed. If only he were his grandson-in-law—the sudden thought made Dugu Bo's eyes light up.

"Lin boy, I've done the math carefully. Actually, my granddaughter is only seven years older than you. That's not too much.

How about it? Want to consider letting Yanyan be your child bride? Just give her a title, that's all.

They say a wife three years older brings gold bricks to the door—you'd be getting nearly three gold bricks here. Quite the bargain."

At these words, Dugu Yan immediately grew flustered. Red-faced, she glared at Dugu Bo. "Grandfather, what nonsense are you spouting!"
