Three Martial Souls

"Knock, knock, knock..."

"Coming, coming."

A handsome boy with long black hair opened the wooden door.

The boy was named Xu Yuan, a transmigrator from Earth.

Due to an accident, he had transmigrated into the body of an orphan in Iron Hammer Village.

It must be mentioned that Iron Hammer Village was not far from Holy Soul Village; one could reach it in just a few hours of walking.

The old man knocking at the door was named Chen Xiao, the village chief of Iron Hammer Village.

Xu Yuan looked at Chen Xiao and asked curiously, "Grandpa Chief, is something the matter?"

Chen Xiao stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Little Yuan, today is the day for the martial soul awakening. Hurry to the Martial Soul Hall in the center of the village to awaken your martial soul."

Upon learning that the awakening was today, Xu Yuan's eyes lit up.

He had finally waited for this day; if he possessed soul power, he wouldn't have to become a farmer.

Xu Yuan knew very well that in this world where strength was supreme, trying to make money without power was simply courting death.

After tidying up in a hurry, Xu Yuan followed the village chief, Chen Xiao, and walked quickly toward the Martial Soul Hall in the center of the village.

Along the way, his heart was pounding, his mind filled with thoughts of the upcoming awakening.

The Martial Soul Hall in the village was less of a hall and more of a wooden shack.

It was only opened once a year for the awakening ceremony; otherwise, it remained closed.

When the two arrived at the Martial Soul Hall, seven children were already gathered inside, all looking expectant yet nervous.

Standing in the hall was a deacon of the Martial Soul Hall dressed in white robes; he wore a stern expression, his gaze sweeping over the children one by one.

The deacon introduced himself, "My name is Su Yuntao, and I am the one responsible for awakening your martial souls."

Upon learning that the person was Su Yuntao, Xu Yuan inexplicably felt reassured; after all, the man was the legendary "King of Blind Eyes."

In truth, one could not blame Su Yuntao for his lack of ability; the man simply lacked exposure.

Having spent years awakening martial souls in these remote regions, how could he possibly recognize the powerful martial souls of fan-fiction protagonists?

As for the incident with Tang San, it was normal for him to consider it trash, as he did not know that Blue Silver Grass could evolve into the Blue Silver Emperor.

Xu Yuan remembered that after Tang San and the other Shrek Seven Devils were strengthened by the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, they were beaten into a state of self-doubt by Skywater Academy during the tournament.

Just as Xu Yuan was lost in his thoughts, the awakening ceremony began.

The children who awakened their martial souls before Zheng Xi had no soul power and possessed only common martial souls; finally, it was Xu Yuan's turn.

Su Yuntao signaled for Xu Yuan to step forward without expression, entering the awakening formation to awaken his martial soul.

As Xu Yuan stepped into the formation, Su Yuntao channeled his soul power into it.

The next second, light enveloped Xu Yuan's body.

The surrounding children held their breath, their gazes fixed squarely on Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan took a deep breath, struggling to clear his mind of distractions.

He could clearly feel a warm current rising slowly from his dantian, spreading through his limbs and bones.

The current grew stronger and stronger, as if something was about to break through his body.

After the light faded, Xu Yuan lifted his right hand gently, and a stalk of Blue Silver Grass appeared in his palm.

"Blue Silver Grass?" Su Yuntao frowned, his tone filled with undisguised disappointment. "Another trash martial soul."

He had seen this situation too many times; in these remote villages, martial souls like Blue Silver Grass, hoes, and sickles were the most common, almost synonymous with being cut off from the path of a soul master.

The surrounding children began to whisper, their previously expectant gazes now replaced by knowing sympathy.

Village Chief Chen Xiao stood to the side, the smile on his face fading as he sighed softly.

Xu Yuan merely smiled and said to Su Yuntao, "Can you test my soul power?"

Su Yuntao nodded, signaling for Xu Yuan to step forward for the test.

Ignoring Su Yuntao's attitude, Xu Yuan simply reached out and pressed his hand gently against the crystal ball.

The moment his palm touched the cold sphere, the energy within his body surged toward the crystal ball as if it had found an outlet.

The blue crystal ball instantly erupted with a brilliant, dazzling light, so intense that it was almost blinding.

Su Yuntao froze, his eyes widening and his mouth slightly agape, as if someone had grabbed his throat, leaving him unable to utter a single word.

"This... this is..." Su Yuntao muttered, his eyes filled with disbelief.

The surrounding children were even more shocked, their mouths hanging open; some even instinctively took a step back, frightened by the sight they had never seen before.

The wrinkles on Village Chief Chen Xiao's face smoothed out instantly, and his cloudy eyes erupted with an astonishing brilliance.

He stumbled forward two steps, staring fixedly at the glowing crystal ball, his lips trembling, unable to speak for a long time.

"Full... Full Soul Power?!" Su Yuntao finally found his voice, his tone filled with shock. "Blue Silver Grass... how could it be Innate Full Soul Power?!"

He rubbed his eyes vigorously, suspecting he was hallucinating.

Innate Full Soul Power!

Such talent is a rarity even at the headquarters of the Martial Soul Hall, so how could it appear in a remote backwater like Iron Hammer Village, especially with a Blue Silver Grass, a martial soul universally recognized as trash?

Su Yuntao sighed and said, "What a pity. If it were any other martial soul, you could have gone to Martial Soul City."

Xu Yuan withdrew his hand, not caring in the slightest about what the other man had said.

After seeing Su Yuntao off, Chen Xiao came before Xu Yuan and said excitedly, "It's been decades, but finally, a child with soul power has appeared. Next time I run into Old Jack, I can finally show off a bit."

Chen Xiao regained his composure and said to Xu Yuan, "Little Yuan, in a while, I will send you to Notting Academy to attend school."

Xu Yuan bowed in gratitude, "Then thank you, Grandfather."

Chen Xiao waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, this is what I should do."

Bidding farewell to Chen Xiao, Xu Yuan returned to his home and shut the door tight.

In reality, he possessed two other martial souls; he did not have just one.

When the Blue Silver Grass had awakened, Xu Yuan's heart had turned cold, but upon sensing the two other martial souls within his body, he hadn't been worried in the slightest.

A triple-life martial soul was something only Huo Yuhao from the second generation of the Douluo series could claim to have.

As for Tang Wutong?

That was entirely different; it was merely a wisp of Tang San's divine consciousness and could hardly be considered a martial soul.

"I wonder what my second and third martial souls are," Xu Yuan muttered as he extended his left hand.

The next second, a small hammer appeared in the palm of his hand.

"?????"

The moment he saw the hammer, Xu Yuan was completely stunned.

He even began to suspect that he was another son of Tang Hao.

Because his second martial soul was none other than the Clear Sky Hammer!

Xu Yuan truly didn't know what to say; this matter was simply too outrageous.

Just as Xu Yuan was questioning his own existence, a trident symbol appeared on his forehead.
