Innate Level 20

As the three hurried back, Spirit Hall in Nuoding City had not been idle either.

Although Su Yuntao had failed to find Tang San and Tang Liu at Notting Academy, he learned from the headmaster that they had gone with Grandmaster to the Soul Hunting Forest to obtain Soul Rings.

After reporting this to Ma Xiunuo, Ma Xiunuo had Su Yuntao lead several people to wait at the exit of the Soul Hunting Forest, while sending another man of similar rank to Su Yuntao with a small team toward Holy Soul Village to investigate Tang Hao.

In principle, the appearance of Innate Super Soul Power required not only extraordinary talent, but also an exceptionally noble bloodline. Yet this Innate Super Soul Power had appeared in an ordinary mountain village, which aroused Ma Xiunuo's suspicions. Besides, according to Su Yuntao, the Martial Soul of this Innate Super Soul Power was the trash Martial Soul, Blue Silver Grass. That was simply impossible!

Ma Xiunuo guessed that either this Innate Super Soul Power possessed an absurdly powerful second Martial Soul, or his bloodline was exceptionally noble and outstanding.

As for the truth, it would need to be proven by facts.

It seemed Tang Liu's attempts to remain hidden had become nearly impossible.

However, just as Grandmaster, Tang San, and Tang Liu were about to reach the entrance and exit of the Soul Hunting Forest, Tang Liu suddenly received a message from the system.

"Ding! People from Spirit Hall are waiting for the host's group of three at the exit of the Soul Hunting Forest. Please be careful. The host is advised to leave immediately and have Grandmaster and Tang San cover for you."

Tang Liu's heart jolted.

What was meant to come had come after all!

He just had not expected it to happen so soon!

He stopped in his tracks.

Grandmaster and Tang San turned around and looked at him in confusion.

"Xiao Liu, what's wrong?" Tang San asked as he looked at Tang Liu, whose expression was shifting uncertainly.

Tang Liu appeared hesitant, as though he wanted to say something.

A moment later, his expression hardened with resolve. "Brother, Grandmaster, there's something I've been hiding from you."

Grandmaster said nothing, quietly waiting for him to continue.

Tang San listened in silence as well.

"Grandmaster, you were right. I really do have more than one Martial Soul. I'm sorry for hiding it from you." He gave Grandmaster a slight bow to express his apology.

"Oh? Then what is your second Martial Soul?" Grandmaster's eyes lit up with interest.

"Xiao Liu's second Martial Soul is the same as mine—a small iron hammer," Tang San said.

Grandmaster nodded inwardly. As expected, Xiao San and Xiao Liu are both that man's children.

"That's right. My second Martial Soul is also a small iron hammer, but I won't summon it for you to see right now." Tang Liu continued, "The most important thing I hid from you is that I don't actually have Innate Full Soul Power."

Tang San still looked puzzled, unable to understand why he would say that. Grandmaster, however, seemed to have realized something, and his face instantly filled with shock.

"Innate Super Soul Power?!" Grandmaster stared at Tang Liu in uncertainty.

Tang Liu slowly nodded. "I actually have Innate Level 20 Super Soul Power."

Once Tang Liu admitted it, Grandmaster's expression became even more horrified.

"Teacher, can Innate Soul Power exceed level ten?" Tang San asked curiously.

Unlike Tang Liu, he had no advantage of knowing the plot, nor did he understand as Grandmaster did what Innate Super Soul Power represented, so he remained rather calm.

Besides, Tang Liu was his younger brother. His younger brother was talented, and that alone made him happy.

"Yes. Under certain specific conditions, Innate Super Soul Power can appear, though the requirements are exceptionally harsh. Across the entire continent, only two known people possess Innate Super Soul Power. One is Xiao Liu. The other should have long since reached the level of Soul Ancestor or Soul King at a very young age." Grandmaster's face stiffened even further.

A shocked expression appeared on Tang San's face.

After saying that, Grandmaster suddenly thought of something else.

If Tang San and Tang Liu truly were that man's children, then considering the relationship between that man and Spirit Hall... if Tang Liu's Innate Level 20 Super Soul Power were exposed, Tang San and Tang Liu would almost certainly be doomed!

At that thought, Grandmaster's breathing grew rapid.

But Tang Liu's next words horrified Grandmaster even more.

"Besides that, after I absorbed my first Soul Ring just now, I discovered that I seem to have awakened another Martial Soul." Tang Liu spoke slowly.

"What?!"

This time, both Tang San and Grandmaster cried out.

"A third Martial Soul?!" The way Grandmaster looked at Tang Liu changed completely, his gaze mixed with horror, strangeness, shock, and delight.

Tang Liu nodded heavily. "Yes, a Third Martial Soul. After this third Martial Soul awakened, I discovered that I could sense living beings hostile toward me within a certain range. And right now, outside, I can sense more than ten people radiating hostility toward me. They should be waiting for me to come out."

"When your Martial Soul awakened and your Soul Power was tested, had you not yet revealed your Innate Super Soul Power?" Grandmaster immediately asked.

"That's right. I controlled it at the time, so it wasn't discovered immediately," Tang Liu said.

"Then the people of Spirit Hall should have discovered that Xiao Liu has Innate Super Soul Power. The reason they haven't entered the Soul Hunting Forest to look for us is probably because they still don't know that Xiao San and Xiao Liu are that person's children. Furthermore, they likely don't know whether Xiao San or Xiao Liu possesses Innate Super Soul Power, so they haven't acted yet."

Within moments, Grandmaster had pieced everything together. He then said to Tang Liu, "The people outside should be from Spirit Hall. Xiao Liu, you absolutely cannot go out now!"

"Teacher, are the people from Spirit Hall planning to harm my younger brother?" Tang San spoke then, his eyes already filled with icy killing intent.

It did not matter whether they were Spirit Hall or any other hall. As long as they dared harm his family, he would make them pay a devastating price.

"Not for the moment, but it likely won't be long. And it isn't just Xiao Liu who is in danger—you are too." Grandmaster looked at Tang San solemnly. "The current solution is for you and me to go out first and have Xiao Liu remain here. Only after we lure away the people from Spirit Hall outside can Xiao Liu come out."

"But won't Xiao Liu be in danger if we leave him here alone?" Tang San asked worriedly.
