Level 20 Innate

Just as the three of them were heading back, the Martial Soul Hall in Nuoding City was far from idle.

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

After he reported this to Ma Xiunuo, Ma Xiunuo had Su Yuntao lead a group of men to wait at the exit of the Soul Hunting Forest, while simultaneously ordering another person of similar status to lead a small squad toward Holy Soul Village to investigate Tang Hao.

Logically speaking, the appearance of Innate Super Soul Power required not only extraordinary talent but also an extremely noble bloodline. Yet, this instance of Innate Super Soul Power had emerged from an ordinary, small mountain village, which aroused Ma Xiunuo's suspicions. Furthermore, according to Su Yuntao, the martial soul of this Innate Super Soul Power user was a trash martial soul like Blue Silver Grass. This was simply impossible!

Ma Xiunuo speculated that either this Innate Super Soul Power user possessed a second martial soul so powerful it was monstrous, or their bloodline was exceptionally noble and superior.

As for the specifics, only facts could provide the proof.

It seemed that for Tang Liu, continuing to hide was becoming nearly impossible.

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

"Ding! Personnel from the Martial Soul Hall are waiting for the host and his companions at the exit of the Soul Hunting Forest. Please be careful, host. It is recommended that you leave immediately and have Grandmaster and Tang San cover for you."

Hearing this, Tang Liu felt a jolt of alarm.

What was meant to come had finally arrived!

He just hadn't expected it to happen so soon!

He immediately came to a halt.

Grandmaster and Tang San turned around, looking at him with confusion.

"Xiao Liu, what's wrong?" Tang San asked, observing Tang Liu's flickering, uncertain expression.

Tang Liu appeared hesitant, as if he were struggling to say something.

A moment later, his expression turned resolute. "Brother, Grandmaster, actually, there is something I have been keeping from you."

Grandmaster did not speak, waiting quietly for him to continue.

Tang San also listened in silence.

"Grandmaster, you guessed correctly. I do indeed possess more than one martial soul. I apologize for keeping it from you." He bowed slightly to Grandmaster to express his regret.

"Oh? And what is your second martial soul?" Grandmaster's eyes lit up, his interest piqued.

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

Grandmaster nodded to himself, thinking: As expected, both Xiao San and Xiao Liu are children of that person.

"Yes, my second martial soul is also a small hammer, though I won't manifest it for you to see right now," Tang Liu said. "The most important thing I hid from you is that, in truth, I do not have Innate Full Soul Power."

Tang San looked puzzled, not understanding why he would say that. Grandmaster, however, seemed to realize something, his face instantly turning pale with shock.

"Innate Super Soul Power?!" Grandmaster looked at Tang Liu with a mix of shock and doubt.

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

Seeing Tang Liu confirm it, Grandmaster's expression became even more horrified.

"Teacher, can innate soul power exceed level ten?" Tang San asked curiously at this moment.

He did not have the advantage of knowing the plot like Tang Liu, nor did he understand the implications of Innate Super Soul Power like Grandmaster, so he remained relatively calm.

Besides, Tang Liu was his younger brother; he was simply happy that his brother was so talented.

"Yes, under certain specific conditions, Innate Super Soul Power can appear, though the requirements are extremely harsh. Currently, there are only two known cases of Innate Super Soul Power on the entire continent. One is Xiao Liu, and the other should have already reached the level of a Soul Ancestor or Soul King at a very young age." Grandmaster's face grew even more rigid.

A look of astonishment appeared on Tang San's face.

After saying that, Grandmaster suddenly realized something else.

If Tang San and Tang Liu were truly the children of that person, then given the relationship between that person and the Martial Soul Hall... if it were exposed that Tang Liu possessed Innate Level 20 Super Soul Power, then Tang San and Tang Liu would almost certainly face a death sentence!

Thinking of this, Grandmaster's breathing grew hurried.

But he never expected that Tang Liu's next words would leave him even more terrified.

"Besides that, just now, after I absorbed my first soul ring, I discovered that I seem to have awakened another martial soul," Tang Liu said slowly.

"What?!"

This time, both Tang San and Grandmaster exclaimed in unison.

"A third martial soul?!" Grandmaster's gaze toward Tang Liu shifted, filled with a mixture of horror, bewilderment, shock, and joy.

Tang Liu nodded heavily. "Yes, a third martial soul. After this third martial soul awakened, I discovered I could sense life forms within a certain range that harbor hostility toward me. And right now, outside, I can feel over a dozen people radiating hostility toward me. They must be waiting for me to come out."

"When you first awakened your martial soul and tested your soul power, had you not yet revealed your Innate Super Soul Power?" Grandmaster immediately asked.

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

"Then the Martial Soul Hall must have discovered that Xiao Liu has Innate Super Soul Power. The reason they haven't entered the Soul Hunting Forest to find us yet is likely because they don't know that Xiao San and Xiao Liu are the children of that person. Furthermore, they probably don't know whether it is Xiao San or Xiao Liu who possesses the Innate Super Soul Power, which is why they haven't made a move yet."

In the span of a few thoughts, Grandmaster had reasoned everything out. He then said to Tang Liu, "Those outside must be from the Martial Soul Hall. Xiao Liu, you absolutely cannot go out now!"

"Teacher, are the people from the Martial Soul Hall going to harm my brother?" Tang San spoke up, his eyes turning cold with murderous intent.

Regardless of whether it was the Martial Soul Hall or any other hall, if they dared to harm his family, he would make them pay a devastating price.

"Not for the moment, but it won't be long. And it's not just Xiao Liu who is in danger; you are too," Grandmaster said, looking at Tang San with a serious expression. "The current solution is for you and me to go out first, leaving Xiao Liu here. Only after we lead the Martial Soul Hall people away can Xiao Liu come out."

"But won't it be dangerous to leave Xiao Liu here alone?" Tang San asked, filled with worry.
