"I heard from Little San that you also have Innate Full Soul Power?"

Li Luo nodded, not denying it.

"Release your Martial Soul and let me see it."

Tang Hao commanded.

At this moment, Li Luo, whose Soul Power Level was only eleven, lacked the confidence to refuse Tang Hao, so he could only comply and release his Martial Soul.

Li Luo extended his right hand, and a dazzling, colorful light shimmered in his palm as the Prism Ball appeared.

At the same time, a deep yellow Soul Ring slowly manifested beneath Li Luo's feet, pulsing rhythmically around him.

Seeing that Li Luo already possessed a Soul Ring, Tang Hao was very surprised.

"Kid, where did your Century Soul Ring come from? Did a Soul Master from the Martial Soul Hall help you obtain it? Have you already joined the Martial Soul Hall?"

Seeing the Century Soul Ring on Li Luo, Tang Hao could not think of anyone other than those from the Martial Soul Hall who could help Li Luo obtain it, so he subconsciously assumed Li Luo had already joined them.

A surge of killing intent welled up in Tang Hao's heart. Since he had already become a lackey of the Martial Soul Hall, Tang Hao felt it was necessary to eliminate this future threat; he wanted to kill Li Luo right there on the spot.

Just then, Tang San took the initiative to speak, vouching for Li Luo's first Soul Ring.

"It's not like that, Dad. The Battle Soul Master from the Martial Soul Hall did indeed invite me and Brother Luo to join, but we both refused."

"And Brother Luo's Soul Ring appeared on its own."

Hearing Tang San's explanation, Tang Hao's killing intent faded, and he stared fixedly at Li Luo.

Self-condensing a Soul Ring? Could this kid be a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast that has taken human form to re-cultivate?

It was common knowledge that Li Luo was an orphan picked up by Old Jack, and Tang Hao began to speculate about Li Luo's identity.

No, if he were a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form, this kid is only level eleven right now; with my cultivation as a Titled Douluo, I would definitely be able to see through his true form at a glance.

But Tang Hao quickly dismissed his own speculation.

Furthermore, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form would transform directly into a six-year-old child and awaken its Martial Soul on its own. But when this kid was found by Old Jack, he was still an infant in swaddling clothes, and even his Martial Soul was awakened with the help of Martial Soul Hall personnel—not to mention it awakened as a Tool Martial Soul.

Therefore, he is not a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast re-cultivating.

Then what exactly is strange about this kid?

Tang Hao couldn't figure it out, so he asked directly.

"Kid, how did you get your Soul Ring?"

"My Martial Soul is an auxiliary type; it can bind to a target and provide a boost. Little San's current appearance is the result of the changes that occurred after binding with me."

"Besides that, the quality of Little San's Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul has also been improved."

At this point, to prove the credibility of his words, Tang San released his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul with a tacit understanding.

Now, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass was no longer the common, roadside variety seen everywhere. There were faint golden patterns on the stems and leaves; it was no longer just Blue Silver Grass, but could be called a Blue Silver King.

However, at this moment, there were no prismatic patterns on Tang San's Blue Silver King, because he was not currently being buffed by Li Luo's Prism Ball.

"So, I speculate that as long as a Soul Master binds with my Prism Ball, their Martial Soul will undergo Martial Soul Evolution."

After much thought, Li Luo chose to reveal a little secret about his Martial Soul to Tang Hao.

As things stood, Li Luo and Tang San's relationship was excellent. As long as Li Luo did not join the Martial Soul Hall, Tang Hao would temporarily view him as one of his own.

As long as his relationship with Tang San did not deteriorate, he would have a Titled Douluo bodyguard by his side, allowing him to carry out many of his plans and set aside many concerns.

What Tang Hao was thinking, however, was at the other extreme.

This kid has a great relationship with Little San, and his Martial Soul is a top-tier auxiliary type. In the future, when Little San and I take revenge on the Martial Soul Hall, this kid will be a useful asset.

When Little San returns to the Clear Sky Sect in the future, he will need his own foundation; this kid is perfect to acknowledge Little San as his master.

Seeing that Li Luo had good talent, Tang Hao wanted Li Luo to become a servant like Titan, serving Tang San.

But what Tang Hao did not know was that the actual situation was the exact opposite of what he imagined.

At this moment, Tang San's loyalty to Li Luo was one hundred percent, which meant that Tang San had already been "shaped" by Li Luo and was almost entirely obedient to him.

"Kid, since your Martial Soul can cause others' Martial Souls to evolve, then try it on me to see how you helped Little San evolve."

Hearing Tang Hao's words, Li Luo had a strange expression, but he still complied and tossed the Prism Ball toward Tang Hao.

The Prism Ball hovered above Tang Hao's head, releasing a colorful beam of light, but Tang Hao was not pulled inside.

A piece of information surfaced in Li Luo's mind.

[The current capture target is far higher than the maximum level for obedient spirits; cannot capture.]

[Current maximum level for obedient spirits: 20]

[Current maximum level for capture: 30]

In other words, the highest level of Soul Master I can control cannot have more than one Soul Ring more than me, and the highest level I can capture cannot be more than two Soul Rings higher than me.

Li Luo clarified the limits of his Martial Soul's abilities.

The Prism Ball hovered above Tang Hao's head for a moment, then retracted the colorful beam and flew back into Li Luo's hand.

Li Luo felt a bit awkward; he knew that Tang Hao was not some down-and-out blacksmith, but a Titled Douluo.

However, since Tang Hao did not speak of it himself, it would be inappropriate for him to bring it up in front of Tang San.

Tang Hao saw that Li Luo's martial soul had no effect on him; he felt a tinge of regret, but also considered it a matter of course.

If a mere level eleven spirit master like Li Luo could influence him, the Clear Sky Douluo, Tang Hao's first reaction would certainly not be to let Li Luo accompany Tang San, but to capture Li Luo and send him to the Clear Sky Sect for breeding.

Such an outrageous martial soul must be kept within the sect and not allowed to drift outside.

Tang Hao did not continue to make things difficult for Li Luo, but instead warned him with a solemn expression.

"Li Luo, is it? Kid Luo, do not tell anyone about the fact that Little San possesses a second martial soul!"

Li Luo nodded in agreement.

"That's enough, you can go back now. Tell Old Jack that I agree to let Little San go to school."

Tang Hao began to shoo him away, as he intended to teach Tang San some unique secret techniques in private shortly.

Li Luo knew that according to the normal progression of the plot, Tang Hao was about to teach Tang San the Chaotic Wind Splitting Hammer Technique, so he left directly.

In any case, as far as he was concerned, Tang San's belongings were his, and Tang San himself was his; there was no need to risk offending Tang Hao by trying to steal the technique. After all, he still needed this bodyguard and could not afford to fall out with him so early.

Li Luo returned to the home he shared with Old Jack. At this moment, Old Jack had already returned from the neighboring village, holding a report in his hand—it was the quota for work-study students from the next village.

Li Luo informed Old Jack that Tang Hao had agreed to let Tang San go to school.

"It's fortunate that Tang Hao is sensible and didn't hinder Little San from attending school. Little San is a genius with Innate Full Soul Power; if he had been delayed by that drunkard Tang Hao, I, this old man, would have definitely settled the score with him!"
