Douluo Continent, Heaven Dou Empire, Farnos Province, inside Emperor Soul Village.
It was once again the time for the annual Martial Soul awakening in Emperor Soul Village.
All the children of the appropriate age in Emperor Soul Village gathered outside the village's branch of the Martial Soul Hall, waiting for their Martial Soul awakening.
Village Chief Old John brought three children before the awakening envoy of the Martial Soul Hall.
"Lord Soul Master, these are the children here for the Martial Soul awakening this year," Old John said with a respectful smile.
The envoy who had come to perform the awakening was a handsome young man in his twenties, none other than the famous "Blind Douluo" Su Yuntao, Brother Tao.
Su Yuntao said with some impatience, "Alright, have them all come in."
Having just finished the awakening ceremony at the neighboring Holy Soul Village, he was in a very foul mood.
Out of more than a dozen children, not a single one had awakened any soul power.
There were only three children in Emperor Soul Village this year; he feared that not even one of them would awaken with soul power.
Under Su Yuntao's lead, the three children walked into the wooden house.
The child standing at the very back looked at Su Yuntao with curiosity.
I wonder what kind of Martial Soul I will awaken. I hope it's strong; otherwise, I'm afraid I'll never have the chance to take revenge on Tang Hao in this lifetime! A flash of hatred crossed the child's eyes.
This child was named Wang Xian, a transmigrator from Blue Star.
Five years ago, he transmigrated to Douluo Continent and became a one-year-old toddler.
Just after he had arrived, he witnessed a burly middle-aged man wielding a massive hammer fighting against a middle-aged angel with wings on her back.
His parents had tried to flee with him, but fate was not on their side.
Just as the couple was running away, a ripple of energy from the battle splashed toward them.
His father, in order to cover his mother's escape with him, blocked the shockwave and died on the spot.
His mother brought him to Emperor Soul Village to seek refuge and cared for him until he was three, but she eventually passed away, consumed by the grief of his father's death.
Fortunately, the village chief of Emperor Soul Village, Old John, was kind-hearted and took him in, raising him until he was six.
Otherwise, whether he could have survived until now would have been an unknown.
After entering the Martial Soul branch hall, Su Yuntao stood at the front and took out items to set up the awakening formation.
Once it was set up, he signaled for the first child to step forward for the awakening.
The first child walked up timidly, and Su Yuntao said, "Stand inside the formation. No matter what happens next, do not be afraid."
"Lone Wolf, Possession."
After saying this, Su Yuntao immediately activated his Martial Soul Possession.
A faint cyan light first emanated from the center of his brow, traveling up along his forehead and into his hairline.
Su Yuntao's hair had originally been black, but after the cyan light infused it, it instantly turned gray and grew rapidly.
Gray fur sprouted on his hands, and his body became much more robust.
His eyes had turned a ghostly green, and the sharp claws on his ten fingers glinted with a faint cold light.
One white and one yellow, two rings of light rose from behind him.
The boy was so scared he wanted to run, but he was firmly grabbed by Su Yuntao.
"Don't be afraid, it's just a normal Martial Soul Possession."
After saying this, Su Yuntao poured his soul power directly into the formation.
"Use your heart to feel the power within your body."
Threads of golden light surged from the formation and poured into the little boy's body.
Soon, the little boy involuntarily extended his right hand, and with a flash of gray light, a sickle appeared.
The boy looked at the sickle in his hand in amazement, and Su Yuntao handed him a crystal ball.
"Tool Martial Soul, sickle. Place your hand on the crystal ball to test if you have soul power."
The boy placed his hand on it, but the crystal ball showed no reaction.
"No soul power. Next," Su Yuntao said, feeling no surprise.
In these rural areas, the probability of awakening with soul power was almost zero.
The second child was no exception; he awakened a hoe, and his Martial Soul also lacked soul power.
"Alright, the last one, hurry up and come forward," Su Yuntao urged.
He felt that the last one would certainly not have soul power either.
Wang Xian walked up with an expectant look and stepped into the awakening formation.
Su Yuntao quickly poured his soul power into the awakening formation as well.
Golden light particles surged into Wang Xian's body, making him feel a wave of warmth as the power within him began to emerge.
Wang Xian opened his right palm, and with a flash of blue light, a tiny, young Blue Silver Grass appeared in the center of his palm.
"Blue Silver Grass." Su Yuntao remained expressionless, revealing a look that suggested this was exactly as he had expected.
Wang Xian looked at the weak Blue Silver Grass in his hand, a look of disappointment appearing on his face.
It's actually Blue Silver Grass? With a Martial Soul like this, how am I supposed to take revenge on Tang Hao?
If it had been any other Martial Soul, Wang Xian felt there would have been room to maneuver.
However, a common Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul would only be suppressed in the face of Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor.
"Let's awaken your Soul Power."
Even though it was a trash Martial Soul, Su Yuntao still dutifully handed over the crystal ball.
Upon hearing this, Wang Xian reached out toward the crystal ball, but instead of the dazzling light he had imagined, only a relatively faint glow appeared.
"Innate Soul Power level three." Su Yuntao said in surprise.
Blue Silver Grass was a notoriously trash Martial Soul; he never expected that it would actually awaken with Soul Power.
In all his years as an awakening envoy, he had never seen such a thing happen before.
Seeing Wang Xian's somewhat dejected appearance, Su Yuntao patted him on the shoulder.
"Child, it's already quite good that a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul has Soul Power, and it's even level three Innate Soul Power. Work hard on your cultivation, and you might become a Soul Master in the future."
Wang Xian composed himself and nodded, "I understand, thank you, Grandmaster Su Yuntao."
Following that, his gaze gradually became firm; regardless of his Martial Soul, he had to take revenge on Tang Hao, no matter who stood in his way.
Su Yuntao deactivated his Martial Soul Possession, packed up his things, and led the children out of the Martial Soul Hall.
As soon as they stepped out, Old John couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Grandmaster, I wonder, did any children in our Emperor Soul Village awaken with Soul Power?"
Su Yuntao nodded slightly, "You're in luck. There is indeed a child named Wang Xian who awakened with Soul Power. His Martial Soul is Blue Silver Grass, and he has level three Innate Soul Power."
"If he works hard at his cultivation in the future, becoming a Soul Elder shouldn't be a problem."
Old John immediately revealed an expression of wild joy; their Emperor Soul Village had actually produced a Soul Master with Soul Power!
Wang Xian walked out at this moment, and Old John immediately ran up to him.
"Xiao Xian, you awakened with Soul Power, didn't you?"
"That's right, Grandpa. My Innate Soul Power is level three."
Facing the village chief who had raised him, Wang Xian was very respectful and revealed his level of Soul Power.
"Good, good, good!" Old John was overcome with emotion.
