Early the next morning, Qian Renyu arrived at the Spirit Hall Branch in Nuoding City. Because of him, the Martial Soul Awakening ceremony in Holy Soul Village had been postponed. Today, he was heading there to see the awakening of the God King, Tang San.
Zhang Zhuan and Yang He stayed at Nuoding Academy to keep an eye on that hundred-thousand-year-old Rogue Rabbit.
Before setting out, he said to Su Yuntao, "Blue Silver Grass isn't necessarily a Trash Martial Soul. Blue Silver Grass with Innate Full Soul Power is a top-tier Martial Soul."
Su Yuntao thought, Isn't Silver Grass just a Trash Martial Soul? And Blue Silver Grass can have Innate Full Soul Power?
Although he didn't understand, Su Yuntao still nodded.
Golden Spear Douluo and Silver Blade Douluo stayed at the Spirit Hall in Nuoding City, since they were only Level 93 Titled Douluos and Tang Hao could easily sense them.
Qianjun Douluo, however, was a Level 96 Titled Douluo. If he concealed his aura, Tang Hao wouldn't detect him.
As for Qian Renyu, he planned to watch from a distance with Qianjun Douluo. Of course, he would be relying on Qianjun Douluo's senses to observe.
Holy Soul Village
Old Jack, the village chief of Holy Soul Village, paced back and forth at the entrance. Su Yuntao should have arrived by now, as he did every year. It had been several days already. Why hadn't he come?
Tang San also stood at the village entrance every day, waiting impatiently. Why hasn't Su Yuntao come yet? How am I supposed to get into Nuoding Academy without a Martial Soul Awakening? And if I don't get into Nuoding Academy, how will I meet my Xiao Wu?
Su Yuntao, you actually dare delay my chance to meet Xiao Wu. You've earned yourself a death sentence.
With everyone watching, he came—Su Yuntao had finally arrived.
As soon as he saw Su Yuntao, Old Jack hurried over to greet him. "Master Su Yuntao, why are you a few days late this time?"
"Village Chief Jack, something came up at the Spirit Hall and delayed me," Su Yuntao replied.
Tang San heard that he'd been delayed by something at the Spirit Hall.
Spirit Hall, you actually dared delay my Martial Soul Awakening. You've earned yourself another death sentence.
Su Yuntao arrived at Holy Soul Village's Spirit Hall, which was really just a shabby little house. This was where the Spirit Hall held Martial Soul Awakenings in every village.
Su Yuntao took six black stones from his bag and arranged them in a hexagon. Then he took out a crystal ball.
"Village Chief Jack, we can begin."
Old Jack immediately led a group of children inside.
Su Yuntao looked at the children before him and said gently, "Children, Soul Master ranks are divided into a hundred levels. Level 1 to Level 10 is Soul Disciple, Level 11 to Level 20 is Soul Master, Level 21 to Level 30 is Soul Grandmaster, Level 31 to Level 40 is Soul Elder, Level 41 to Level 50 is Soul Ancestor, Level 51 to Level 60 is Soul King, Level 61 to Level 70 is Soul Emperor, Level 71 to Level 80 is Soul Saint, and Level 81 to Level 90 is Soul Douluo."
"Above Level 90 are the Titled Douluos."
"My name is Su Yuntao, and I'm a Level 26 Soul Grandmaster. Now we'll begin the Martial Soul Awakening. I hope one of you can become a Soul Master."
"Lone Wolf, possess me."
At that moment, Old Jack said to the children, "Everyone, line up and come forward one at a time."
The first to step forward was a little girl.
"Martial Soul: scissors."
"Let's test your Soul Power."
"Soul Power: Level 1. You can become a Soul Master."
"Next."
"No Martial Soul."
"Next."
"Martial Soul: hoe. No Soul Power. You can't become a Soul Master."
"Martial Soul: rag. Soul Power: Level 2. You can become a Soul Master."
"Martial Soul: sickle. No Soul Power. You can't become a Soul Master."
While the other children eagerly queued up, Tang San stood at the very back, completely unhurried.
He knew his Martial Souls were Blue Silver Grass and the Clear Sky Hammer, and that he had Innate Full Soul Power. He couldn't be bothered to mix with these people.
"All right, last one."
Tang San strolled forward.
"Blue Silver Grass. A Trash—"
Su Yuntao was about to call it a Trash Martial Soul, but then he remembered what Qian Renyu had told him. He quickly changed his words. "Let's test your Soul Power."
Tang San: "???"
"Innate Full Soul Power! He actually has Innate Full Soul Power!"
Seeing the shock on Su Yuntao's face, Tang San was quite pleased with himself.
"Child, your Martial Soul is Blue Silver Grass, and you have Innate Full Soul Power. That means your Martial Soul is top-tier."
"Would you be willing to join Spirit Hall?"
Tang San thought, Since when did Su Yuntao get so discerning? If you're so discerning, how come you didn't notice the Clear Sky Hammer in my left hand? Maybe you're just useless after all.
As for joining Spirit Hall, heh, heh, heh.
"Sorry, Uncle. I'll have to go home and ask my father."
"Ah, what a shame."
"Master Su Yuntao, did anyone in our village become a Soul Master this year?" Old Jack asked.
"Yes. There's even one with Innate Full Soul Power."
"Innate Full Soul Power?"
"Yes, that last child."
With that, Su Yuntao got up and left.
Old Jack hurried after Tang San and asked, "Little San, I heard you have Innate Full Soul Power?"
"Yes, Grandpa Jack."
"Wonderful! I'll give you our village's work-study student spot this year."
"But my father..."
"Don't worry. I'll talk to him."
When they arrived at Tang San's home, Old Jack immediately said to Tang Hao, "Tang Hao, Little San is the only person in our village with Innate Full Soul Power. I plan to give him the village's work-study student spot. I'll take him to register at Nuoding Academy tomorrow."
Tang Hao's despondent spirit seemed to revive a little when he heard that Tang San had Innate Full Soul Power. For a moment, he even froze.
"Tang Hao, are you listening to me? Do you agree to Little San going to Nuoding Academy as a work-study student?" Old Jack asked again.
But Tang Hao still didn't react.
"Since you're not saying anything, I'll take that as a yes."
With that, Old Jack left.
After Old Jack had gone, Tang Hao suddenly asked, "Little San, what's your Martial Soul?"
"Dad, my Martial Soul is Blue Silver Grass."
"Blue Silver Grass? Your Martial Soul is actually Blue Silver Grass."
"Dad, I actually have another Martial Soul." As he spoke, Tang San released the Clear Sky Hammer again.
"The Clear Sky Hammer. Twin Martial Souls."
"My son has Twin Martial Souls."
"Ahahaha!" Tang Hao couldn't help laughing.
Tang Hao thought:
Blue Silver Grass was Ah Yin's Martial Soul.
The Clear Sky Hammer was the Clear Sky Sect's inherited Martial Soul.
Tang San was my son.
My son even had Twin Martial Souls.
Spirit Hall, just you wait.
"Little San, remember: use the Clear Sky Hammer in your left hand to protect the Blue Silver Grass in your right."
"Don't add a Soul Ring to your Clear Sky Hammer without my permission."
"Don't reveal your Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul in front of the world."
"I understand, Dad."
"Then, Dad, what about me going to Nuoding Academy?"
"Go if you want to."
"Thank you, Dad."
Once I'm at Nuoding Academy, I'll be able to meet my Xiao Wu.
My beloved,
My Xiao Wu,
I'm coming.
