A Different Kind of Martial Soul Awakening

"So this is the famous Tang God King? He doesn't look like much."

An'er, as she was called by Old Jack, listened to the old man's rambling while curiously sizing up Tang San.

It was merely curiosity; after all, aside from the hillside outside the village and his own home, Tang San was never seen anywhere else, nor did he interact with anyone in the village. As Angela, a transmigrator who had completed all formal education in her home country and possessed a normal worldview, she couldn't possibly spend her days staring at this Tang God King for whom she felt not a shred of affection.

Therefore, Angela had only ever seen Tang San's back from a distance; today was their first real meeting.

It wasn't just Angela; in fact, for the few children in the village awakening their spirits today, and even some of their parents, this was the first time they had truly seen the blacksmith's son who was as elusive as a dragon.

Withdrawing her gaze from Tang San, Angela sighed. Once this meeting was over, they would be enemies; she had already prepared to bolt for Wuhun Hall the moment her spirit was awakened.

As the saying goes, as a transmigrator who grew up reading the history of her home country, she couldn't possibly leave a relatively progressive faction like Wuhun Hall to join the Shrek camp, which was frantically driving history in reverse.

Furthermore, she was a girl. Why would she join Shrek, with its lecherous tiger, philandering phoenix, and sleazy middle-aged men, instead of joining Wuhun Hall, which was filled with beautiful ladies with long legs and handsome, albeit eccentric, older gentlemen?

She had a good idea of her current appearance, and she could imagine how much harassment she would face if she joined Shrek.

Just thinking about it gave her goosebumps!

"I was delayed on the road by something, Old Jack. Are there nine children to awaken this year?"

The arrival of a young man in his twenties, with sword-like eyebrows and star-bright eyes, dressed in the attire of Wuhun Hall personnel, interrupted the thoughts of everyone present, whether they were daydreaming about the future or feeling anxious and fearful.

"It's fine, it's just that we have to trouble you again this time, Master Su Yuntao."

Old Jack bowed respectfully to the young man. Su Yuntao had been the one to help the children in their village awaken their spirits for the past few years. Although they were familiar, the respect due to a spirit master was still necessary.

"Let's begin right away; I still need to rush to the next village. Children, follow me."

After Su Yuntao bowed slightly to return Old Jack's greeting, he immediately led the nine children into the wooden house in a hurry.

"Sigh, I hope there can be a child who becomes a spirit master this year."

Watching the nine children follow Su Yuntao into the wooden house, Old Jack sighed. However, he also understood that it was too difficult for a small village like Holy Soul Village to produce a spirit master. The so-called hope was just to comfort himself and the parents present.

Inside the wooden house, Angela watched with curiosity as Su Yuntao activated his spirit to awaken the spirits of the children one by one. For a transmigrator, this was truly a magical scene.

Soon, it was Angela's turn. Feeling a warm sensation enveloping her entire body, it felt as if something within her was surging toward her palms.

Su Yuntao stared at Angela with glowing eyes; he vaguely felt that he might have struck gold this time!

As the spirit awakening finished, Tang San stared fixedly at the strange sword-and-shield weapon in Angela's hands. He confirmed once again that this girl did not exist in Holy Soul Village in his previous life!

At the very least, it was a super spirit sword-and-shield! How could such a variable exist!

Su Yuntao, who was happily preparing to test Angela's spirit power, felt a chill down his back. Where did such strong killing intent come from?

Turning his head to look, there was no one there except for a little boy in patched clothes with short blue hair.

Su Yuntao scratched his head. How strange; could he have misperceived it?

"Uncle?"

Seeing Su Yuntao standing there lost in thought, Angela tentatively called out.

"Oh, it's nothing. Let's test your spirit power first, child."

Su Yuntao shook his head. Forget it, it must have been a mistake just now. Let him test this girl's spirit power first; his promotion was looking promising now!

Looking at the brilliantly shining test crystal, Su Yuntao's ecstasy was written all over his face.

As for Tang San, he suppressed his killing intent once again.

It seems that spirit can isolate killing intent, Tang San thought to himself. As the former Asura God King, he could completely control his killing intent. The killing intent just now had been directed straight at Angela, yet Angela had shown no reaction, while Su Yuntao, who was on the same line, had only felt a slight sensation.

"Innate full spirit power! Child, are you willing to join Wuhun Hall? With your talent, you can enter Wuhun City directly. You might not know about Wuhun City, but it is the holy land for all spirit masters in the world! It's even larger and more prosperous than Nuoding City."

Su Yuntao, already in a frenzy, asked while grabbing Angela's hand, looking as if he were afraid she might run away.

Struggling hard to pull away but failing, Angela had no choice but to say helplessly, "Of course I'm willing, but, Uncle, could you please let go of my hand first?"

"Sorry, sorry. Then shall I take you to the Wuhun Hall in the city now? By the way, child, what is your name?"

Su Yuntao released Angela and rubbed his hands excitedly, wishing he could fly to the Wuhun Hall in Nuoding City with Angela immediately.

He was naturally excited. An extraordinary-looking spirit combined with innate full spirit power—this was a genius who could enter Wuhun City to study directly, and might even be able to speak in front of the Pope! When that time came, forget about a promotion; as long as this girl mentioned him to the Pope, he, Su Yuntao, would immediately rise to prominence!

"My name is Angela, but I want to take my grandfather with me."

Angela had no objections to when they would go, she just hoped to take Old Jack, who had raised her for six years.

"Oh, we'll go to the city's Wuhun branch to register first, then we'll pick up Old Jack and you can go to Wuhun City together! Child, go notify Old Jack."

Su Yuntao had already told Angela to wait outside while he began to pack his things.

"Uncle, there are still three of us who haven't awakened."

Tang San couldn't remember how many times he had erupted with killing intent today. He had just suppressed it twice more—once when hearing Angela was willing to join Wuhun Hall, and once watching Su Yuntao prepare to run off.

It was a pity that he was still just a child who hadn't awakened his spirit, had no hidden weapons in hand, and his most useful killing intent was currently being isolated by an unknown spirit. Relying solely on the five Tang Sect techniques, it was almost impossible to defeat a Great Spirit Master.

Otherwise, a genius who wanted to join Wuhun Hall, and a Great Spirit Master of Wuhun Hall who was preparing to run away instead of awakening the future God King—you have already invited your own deaths!

"Go, go, go. Can't you see I'm busy?" Su Yuntao was full of impatience. This child, why was he so ignorant? It was already a miracle for a village to produce such a genius; there was no need to waste time on the rest.

"Uncle..."

Tang San had no choice but to suppress his killing intent again, putting on an expression as if he were about to cry. Just you wait! Forcing a future God King to put on this kind of expression.

"Sigh, come here, come here. I hope one of you can have innate spirit power."

Looking at Tang San, who looked like he was about to cry, and the two children next to him with expectant faces, Su Yuntao still felt a touch of compassion. It wouldn't take much time for three people; it would be too much to not even give these three children a chance.
