"Little friend, this is Spirit Hall, not a place for children to fool around. Hurry along and go play somewhere else!"
When Yao Xuan walked into Spirit Hall, a gray-robed staff member casually waved a hand and reminded him with a smile.
"No, sir, I'm not here to play! I missed the previous Martial Soul Awakening, so I'm hoping Spirit Hall can awaken my Martial Soul!"
Hearing the staff member, Yao Xuan smiled and explained why he had come.
"Oh, so that's it! Come with me, kid!"
The staff member wasn't surprised. He nodded and led Yao Xuan into the Spirit Hall Branch.
Every year, Spirit Hall sent deacons to nearby villages to help children from commoner families awaken their Martial Souls.
But for various reasons, it was perfectly normal for some children to be overlooked along the way.
Since this child had come all the way to Spirit Hall to have his Martial Soul awakened, there was no reason to turn him away.
Besides, if he really found a promising Soul Master, his bonus that month would be considerably bigger.
"Lord Su Yuntao, there's a child who wants to awaken his Martial Soul. Could you help him?"
The staff member led Yao Xuan to the door of a spacious office, knocked, and called inside.
"So it really is Su Yuntao? That famous 'Blind God King'!"
At the staff member's words, a strange look appeared in Yao Xuan's eyes.
Having Su Yuntao awaken his Martial Soul for him—
That certainly made for an interesting experience.
"All right, send him in!"
Soon, Su Yuntao's reply came from inside.
At his words, Yao Xuan stepped into the office.
A young man in his twenties stood before him.
He had regular features and a tall, lean build. He wore a white outfit and a black cape.
At the center of his chest was a fist-sized character: "Soul."
It was the standard uniform of a Spirit Hall deacon.
"Come on, child. Stand here."
Looking at Yao Xuan, Su Yuntao took his time. He brought out six black stones, arranged them in a hexagon on the floor, then motioned for Yao Xuan to stand inside.
Yao Xuan nodded and walked over to him.
Su Yuntao didn't waste time. With a thought, he activated Martial Soul Possession and poured Soul Power into the black stones before him.
Golden specks drifted out of the stones and flowed into Yao Xuan's body. Behind him, the Emperor Auspicious Beast Martial Soul suddenly appeared in a flash of golden light.
Although Yao Xuan had already concealed his Soul Power with [Stealth], the sheer majesty of the Emperor Auspicious Beast still startled Su Yuntao.
Su Yuntao was even trembling slightly. He could feel his own Martial Soul conveying fear and submission.
"What kind of Martial Soul is this? It's so mighty and domineering! With a Martial Soul like that, this child's Innate Soul Power must be extraordinary!"
Watching the scene, Su Yuntao grew excited!
As a Spirit Hall deacon, Su Yuntao earned merit points every time he found a promising Soul Master, which he could exchange for all kinds of resources.
And if he could recruit a genius into Spirit Hall, he would earn a huge number of merit points!
There was no way Su Yuntao would let an opportunity like this slip by!
"Congratulations, child! It looks like you've awakened a very powerful Martial Soul. Now, put your hand on this."
His voice full of anticipation, Su Yuntao took out a blue crystal ball and handed it to Yao Xuan.
"Even Su Yuntao recognizes my Martial Soul. It seems that even after [Stealth], my Emperor Auspicious Beast Martial Soul can still blind him!"
At Su Yuntao's words, Yao Xuan chuckled to himself.
It was often said that Martial Souls Blind Douluo dismissed as trash were usually top-tier Martial Souls.
But if even a Blind Douluo like Su Yuntao couldn't keep pretending to be blind about his Martial Soul, didn't that mean it was even more powerful?
"All right!"
As he spoke, Yao Xuan reached out and touched the crystal ball.
The next moment, dazzling golden light shone from the blue testing crystal ball!
"That's right! Innate Full Soul Power—it really is Innate Full Soul Power!"
Staring at the brilliant golden light, Su Yuntao looked thrilled. He gazed at Yao Xuan as though he were a rare treasure!
Because of Yao Xuan's [Stealth] ability, his Innate Super Soul Power hadn't burst the testing crystal ball.
Even so, Innate Full Soul Power was an exceptionally rare top-tier talent on the Douluo Continent!
It was more than enough to leave Su Yuntao astounded!
"Congratulations, child. You have the talent of Innate Full Soul Power! On behalf of the most powerful Soul Master organization on the Douluo Continent—Spirit Hall—I'd like to invite you to join us!"
"If you join Spirit Hall, your talent will surely earn you a place in Spirit Hall Temple. You'll be trained by Soul Saints, Soul Douluos, and even the legendary Titled Douluos. Your future will be bright!"
"So, child, would you like to join Spirit Hall?"
Looking at Yao Xuan, Su Yuntao enthusiastically extolled the benefits of joining Spirit Hall, hoping he would accept.
"I appreciate the offer, but I'm not willing to join Spirit Hall!"
Hearing Su Yuntao, Yao Xuan decisively shook his head.
Spirit Hall might be a good choice for a Soul Master, but Yao Xuan was no ordinary Soul Master!
Although he had unlocked a human form, he had decided to keep developing as an Auspicious Beast!
After all, with the system, continuously devouring and evolving to strengthen his bloodline was the path best suited to him.
At the moment, Yao Xuan had taken human form only because he wanted to enter human society for a while, punish Tang San and Yu Xiaogang, and take Xiao Wu for himself.
Once he was done, he planned to return to the Star Dou Great Forest.
If he joined Spirit Hall, there was a good chance Bibi Dong would take him as her disciple and he would become childhood friends with Hu Liena. But that would completely disrupt his future path of evolution!
Although Yao Xuan was determined to bring every goddess on the Douluo Continent into his harem, he wasn't some spineless man who lost his head at the sight of a woman!
Spirit Hall's three beauties might be tempting, but his own strength came first!
One day, he would go to Spirit Hall and bring Bibi Dong, Hu Liena, Qian Renxue, and the rest of Spirit Hall's three beauties into his harem—but not now!
And if he ever went to Spirit Hall, it certainly wouldn't be as Bibi Dong's disciple, living under someone else's roof.
He would go as a conqueror, make Spirit Hall submit to him completely and acknowledge him as its master, and make Bibi Dong and Hu Liena kneel and sing "Conquer" in unison!
That was what a real man should do. It was what a transmigrator should do!
Otherwise, he'd have a system and still have to swallow his pride and join Spirit Hall just to win Bibi Dong's favor. That simply wasn't his style!
