"Shatter the Darkness with Thunder!"

Saint Ding City.

Awakening Hall

Dark clouds gathered overhead, and lightning flashed incessantly. The faint silhouette of a colossal blue-and-white dragon appeared and disappeared among them.

"Innate Full Soul Power?"

Su Yuntao looked at the boy before him, his eyes filled with delighted surprise.

He had awakened another Martial Soul with Innate Full Soul Power, and it wasn't even Blue Silver Grass.

"My Martial Soul is actually Sikong Zhen!"

Su Ze stared in bewilderment at the Martial Soul he had just awakened. Thunder wrapped around him, and his black hair had turned white.

His child's frame had suddenly grown ten centimeters taller.

He had never expected that the Hero he'd played best in Honor of Kings would become his Martial Soul.

More importantly, he could feel that his Sikong Zhen seemed to have mutated.

From what he could sense, once he reached a certain level, his Sikong Zhen Martial Soul might truly transform into a giant dragon.

Its silhouette looked like the Storm Dragon King.

So, to be precise, his Martial Soul was a combination of Sikong Zhen and the Storm Dragon King.

As Su Ze examined his Martial Soul,

Su Yuntao took a deep breath. Looking at the white-haired boy before him, he was overwhelmed with excitement and immediately extended an invitation. "Young man, would you like to join the Spirit Hall?"

"With your talent, if you join the Soul Martial Hall, a legendary Soul Fighter Lord will personally guide your cultivation!"

"I'm sorry, sir, but I haven't made up my mind yet. Could I wait until I've finished at the junior Martial Soul academy before considering it?"

As a Transmigrator, Su Ze's greatest advantage was his knowledge of what lay ahead.

If he joined the Soul Martial Hall, he wouldn't be able to make use of that advantage.

"Well, that's a shame!"

"But it's all right. Once you've made up your mind, you can come find me at the Soul Martial Hall anytime."

"Here, I'll write you a letter of recommendation for Nuoding Academy!"

A flicker of disappointment crossed Su Yuntao's eyes, but he wasn't too disheartened.

He had faith in the Soul Martial Hall's strength.

After graduating from a junior Martial Soul academy, the boy would probably come to his senses and join the Spirit Hall.

Besides, if he forced the boy to join the Soul Martial Hall now, what would happen if the boy grew powerful and came back to settle the score?

The Soul Martial Hall wasn't his, after all.

There was no need to make an enemy of a future powerhouse for its sake.

"Thank you, sir!"

Su Ze was delighted. He was an orphan.

He had been wondering how to get into Nuoding Junior Academy, and now someone had practically delivered the answer to him.

Seeing Su Ze's happy expression, Su Yuntao smiled as well.

As he'd said, the Soul Martial Hall wasn't his. Leaving a good impression on a future powerhouse like Su Ze was the right thing to do.

Su Yuntao went a step further and took Su Ze straight to Nuoding City.

On the way there, Su Ze made a point of asking Su Yuntao about Sacred Soul Village.

He learned that a child there had indeed awakened Blue Silver Grass with Innate Full Soul Power.

It had happened not long ago, so the child should be arriving in Nuoding City soon.

As soon as Su Ze heard this, he was certain of the timeline he'd landed in.

He and Tang San were probably the same age, and would likely enter Nuoding Junior Academy at around the same time.

Once he'd confirmed the timeline, Su Ze felt relieved.

If he was younger than Tang San, he'd be in trouble.

The resources he remembered might slip right out of his hands.

The age to come wouldn't belong to Tang San. It would belong to him.

As for Tang San himself, so long as he didn't come looking for trouble, Su Ze wouldn't go out of his way to do anything to him.

If no one came after me, I wouldn't go after anyone.

Su Ze had just reached the entrance to Nuoding Academy when a voice rang out.

"Old man, are you insulting my intelligence?"

"Blue Silver Grass with Innate Full Soul Power? That's obviously fake."

"Get lost!"

"Kid, what do you think you're doing?"

"He's hitting someone!"

As Su Ze reached the academy entrance, his footsteps faltered. He looked at the scuffle in the distance, an odd expression on his face.

He hadn't expected to stumble across such a famous scene.

A guard from Nuoding Academy had been knocked to the ground by a child.

Was that Tang San?

Su Ze, who knew the story well, looked toward the clean-cut child.

Although he hadn't awakened the Blue Silver Emperor, Tang San's skin looked very delicate, and combined with his handsome features,

he hardly looked like a country boy.

More importantly, Su Ze's gaze fell on Tang San's raised arm.

Something unusual hung beneath its sleeve.

Going by the story, Su Ze immediately guessed that it was a Silent Sleeve Arrow, one of the Tang Sect's Hidden Weapons.

He'd actually try to kill someone over a minor dispute? Tang San had a vicious streak!

No wonder he was the man behind the phrase, "You've already incurred a death sentence."

"Stop!"

Just then, a middle-aged man with a short, crew-cut hairstyle stepped forward.

His temples were graying, his build was thin, and his face looked weathered.

The moment he appeared, everyone's attention turned to him.

Yu Xiaogang?

Su Ze recognized the middle-aged man at once.

Looking at Yu Xiaogang, Su Ze felt a flicker of confusion.

Yu Xiaogang wasn't even that handsome.

How had he managed to captivate both Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong?

He wasn't especially handsome, his Soul Power was only level 29, and his Martial Soul was a farting Luo Sanpao.

He didn't get it.

While Su Ze studied Yu Xiaogang, Yu Xiaogang had already taken Tang San's Martial Soul certificate and reprimanded the guard.

As he prepared to lead Tang San into the Spirit Hall Academy,

Yu Xiaogang seemed to notice Su Ze watching him and turned his head.

When he saw that it was a boy he didn't recognize,

Yu Xiaogang looked away again.

A stranger was of no interest to him. The Twin Martial Soul he'd just met mattered far more.

After Yu Xiaogang left, Su Ze went straight into the Spirit Hall Academy.

Because of Yu Xiaogang's reprimand, when the guard learned that Su Ze also had Innate Full Soul Power, he immediately called over the head of the Teaching Affairs Department.

After Director Liu of the Teaching Affairs Department checked Su Ze's Martial Soul certificate, he became visibly excited.

He helped Su Ze complete all the enrollment procedures.

He even generously arranged a private dormitory for Su Ze.

And waived all tuition and miscellaneous fees.

"Thank you, Director Liu!"

"Su Ze, there's no need to thank me. With your talent, you deserve this kind of treatment."

"Come on, I'll take you to your dorm myself."

Director Liu wore an ingratiating smile. He didn't know what kind of Martial Soul the boy named Su Ze had,

but with a Lightning Attribute and Innate Full Soul Power,

he was sure to become a powerhouse who could dominate the continent.
