With the awakening ceremony now complete, the martial soul revealed in Liu Yuan's hand was a massive black Great Scythe.
In truth, scythes were generally considered martial souls without particularly strong offensive capabilities.
However, the scythe in Liu Yuan's hand was simply too large; the handle was as long as a spear, and the blade resembled an oversized Guan Dao. Thus, both Yu Xiaogang and Flender could confirm that while the martial soul Liu Yuan had awakened looked strange, it was undeniably an offensive-type martial soul with immense lethality.
Furthermore, what shocked them most was Liu Yuan's Innate Soul Power.
The moment he placed his palm upon the crystal ball used for testing soul power, an incomparably dazzling golden light erupted from within. Following that, whether it was Yu Xiaogang, Flender, or even Tang San and the others standing behind them, all wore expressions of utter astonishment.
"Innate Soul Power, level thirty!"
Yu Xiaogang was the first to react, but once he did, the look he cast toward Liu Yuan was filled with disbelief.
One had to understand that on the Douluo Continent, Innate Full Soul Power was already the mark of a super genius rarely seen in a century.
Yet, talent like Liu Yuan's, with an innate level of thirty, was truly something that had appeared for the first time in history.
Thinking of this, Yu Xiaogang's gaze toward Liu Yuan suddenly became incredibly fervent.
He had always loved taking on disciples, and he wanted to take this one—whose talent was practically monstrous—under his wing even more.
Because taking on such a disciple was a guaranteed win for Yu Xiaogang.
As long as he took him as a disciple, the boy would inevitably grow strong.
When that time came, not only would Yu Xiaogang have an incredibly powerful trump card in his hand, but others would also give him a thumbs-up whenever they heard his name.
After all, this disciple was taught by him.
He would surely gain the respect of countless people.
"This is impossible? How could such talent exist?"
Tang San was also filled with shock at this moment.
He had previously thought that his own talent was top-tier on the Douluo Continent, and everyone around him had always told him the same.
Who could have imagined?
Now, there was actually an existence with such terrifying talent.
Innate Soul Power level thirty?
That was three times his own, wasn't it?
Tang San's eyes turned red with jealousy.
Why wasn't this talent his? Why couldn't a person like this just die? If he stayed alive, wouldn't his own Innate Full Soul Power become worthless?
"Hurry and persuade him."
Flender was also filled with fervor at this moment.
Had they not spent time and effort to awaken the martial souls of these villagers precisely to find such a genius?
Now that the genius had been found, they absolutely could not let him slip away easily!
Therefore, Flender hurriedly gave a wink to Yu Xiaogang at his side, signaling him.
"Good, I will definitely secure him!"
Yu Xiaogang hurriedly returned a look to Flender that said, "Leave it to me."
Based on his experience, this was absolutely the best time to take Liu Yuan under his wing.
Because he was born in a rural village, his life at this moment was miserable and his conditions were harsh.
They only needed to promise him a few benefits to make him feel deeply indebted.
Moreover, he was only a six-year-old child; what could a six-year-old possibly understand?
Under these circumstances, as long as they deceived him a little and slowly groomed him in the future, they would surely make him loyal to them.
Thinking of this, Yu Xiaogang almost laughed out loud.
Being able to acquire a disciple with such powerful talent and make him serve his own purposes—how could Yu Xiaogang not be happy?
Therefore, Yu Xiaogang spoke to Liu Yuan repeatedly:
"Hmm, your talent is truly excellent!"
"How about this! Take me as your master. Then, I will take you away today to join our Shrek Academy. After that, we will cultivate you well! With our efforts, we will definitely make you a powerful Title Douluo on the Douluo Continent!"
"Furthermore, the villagers in your village can also benefit from this. I will give them a sum of resources to improve their living conditions. These are all thanks to your merit; you can go and say goodbye to them in a moment."
Yu Xiaogang quickly promised Liu Yuan many benefits.
Most importantly, he also dangled a massive carrot in front of Liu Yuan.
He told him that he could help him become a Title Douluo.
In reality, Yu Xiaogang knew very well that with talent like Liu Yuan's, as long as he was given time, he could become a Title Douluo regardless of how he cultivated.
But since he was just a child now, how could he understand such things?
He only needed a few words to trick him!
Furthermore, he promised the villagers certain benefits.
Although what he intended to give were things of little value.
Yet, considering the backward conditions of this village, those meager items were basically enough to make them grovel in gratitude.
Therefore, after finishing this speech, Yu Xiaogang felt incomparably smug.
He continued to look at Liu Yuan before him, seemingly already able to see the scene where he would kneel on the ground, kowtowing to express his gratitude and begging to become his disciple.
Refreshing!
Simply too refreshing!
Thinking of this, Yu Xiaogang felt immensely satisfied; even if he did nothing in the future, relying on these two disciples, he could still live a life of prestige and success on the Douluo Continent!
"I won't."
However, Liu Yuan's subsequent answer left Yu Xiaogang dumbfounded.
Yu Xiaogang had originally assumed that Liu Yuan would definitely agree, but what he received instead was a ruthless rejection.
This was only natural; Liu Yuan was a transmigrator, and he was well aware of the character of Yu Xiaogang and the Shrek Academy crowd, and even more aware of what his own talent represented.
So, how could Yu Xiaogang's wishful thinking possibly succeed? He only looked like a six-year-old child, but he wasn't actually one; how could he be deceived?
Therefore, he gave Yu Xiaogang an incredibly cold response on the spot.
Yu Xiaogang was stunned by this, frozen in place.
Missing out on such a great opportunity made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
Thus, he hurriedly said to Liu Yuan again, "Do you feel the benefits aren't enough? Everything is negotiable; you can state your requirements."
Liu Yuan replied coldly, "Forget it! You and I have no affinity!"
Yu Xiaogang's expression instantly became uglier than if he had eaten excrement.
Flender, standing to the side, spoke up repeatedly upon hearing this, "Then, would you like to join our Shrek Academy? Our Shrek Academy is very strong; look at our students, every one of them is so talented. As long as you are willing to join our Shrek Academy, we will definitely cultivate you with the best resources! When the time comes, you will absolutely be able to become a Title Douluo!"
But upon hearing this, Liu Yuan felt even more disdain.
He had long known that this group of people was shameless, but he hadn't expected them to be shameless to this extent.
A Title Douluo—they spoke of it as if it were something incredibly lofty, but for someone with his talent, was it really that difficult?
It was not difficult at all.
As long as he was given time, Liu Yuan believed that reaching the level of a Title Douluo would be incredibly simple.
Therefore, this Flender and Yu Xiaogang and the others were completely trying to get something for nothing.
And as for the "best resources" of this Shrek Academy?
Forget it!
What kind of resources could this dilapidated academy possibly have? It was nothing more than a third-rate school.
Did they really think he didn't know quality? That he was the kind of child who could be easily deceived?
