Martial Soul is the Five Spirit Lock?

Douluo Continent, Fasinuo Province.

Five Elements Village, Martial Soul Branch Hall.

"What kind of Martial Soul is this? A metal bracelet?"

"Sigh, it looks like another trash Martial Soul!"

Looking at the boy's Martial Soul, Su Yuntao sighed helplessly.

It was that time of year again for the Martial Soul awakening ceremony. For the past two months, he had been traveling everywhere to awaken the Martial Souls of children in various remote villages.

The result of visiting dozens of villages was practically nothing; children capable of becoming Soul Masters were pitifully rare, let alone those with innate talent.

However, it wasn't a total loss. While passing through Holy Soul Village, he had discovered a child with Innate Full Soul Power, though it was a pity the Martial Soul was Blue Silver Grass—a classic trash Martial Soul.

In contrast to Su Yuntao's disappointment, the boy's face was filled with astonishment.

"Five Spirit Lock? My Martial Soul is actually the Five Spirit Lock!"

Looking at his own Martial Soul, Ling Yun was overjoyed.

He was not a person of this world, but a transmigrator from Blue Star.

Six years ago, he had just walked out of his company's front door after work when he saw a runaway truck speeding toward him. Then, everything went black, and he lost consciousness.

When Ling Yun opened his eyes again, he found himself an orphan. His parents had passed away from illness long ago, and it was only thanks to the kind-hearted village chief that he had survived until now.

After six years of growing up, he realized he had come to the world of Douluo Continent, and today was the day of his Martial Soul awakening.

Ling Yun himself hadn't expected his Martial Soul to be the Five Spirit Lock, identical to the one from GG Bond.

"Brother Tao, you truly live up to your reputation as the legendary blind Douluo, actually letting me awaken the Five Spirit Lock Martial Soul!

I just wonder if this Five Spirit Lock contains the Five Spirit Power of the Five Spirit King. If it does, I could transform into five types of beast-form warriors, or even become the Five Spirit King!"

Thinking of this, Ling Yun couldn't help but curl his lips into a smile.

Seeing this, Su Yuntao shook his head, assuming the boy was just excited from his recent awakening.

He promptly took out a crystal ball and said indifferently, "Even though it's a trash Martial Soul, let's test your Innate Soul Power anyway."

"Alright."

With a thought, Ling Yun retracted his Martial Soul into his body and placed his hand on the crystal ball.

Whoosh—

In an instant, the crystal ball erupted with a dazzling white light. Upon seeing this brilliant radiance, Su Yuntao's previously calm expression shifted abruptly.

"In, Innate Full Soul Power? Another one with Innate Full Soul Power?"

Su Yuntao exclaimed in shock, but compared to his surprise, Ling Yun remained calm and composed.

This was a Martial Soul capable of sealing the Five Spirit King; how could the Innate Soul Power be low?

After the initial shock, Su Yuntao gradually calmed down. Although Ling Yun had Innate Full Soul Power, thinking of his Martial Soul, Su Yuntao shook his head helplessly again.

"Such good Innate Full Soul Power, it's just a pity the Martial Soul is a metal bracelet. It's truly a waste."

As he spoke, Su Yuntao prepared the certificate for Ling Yun and said, "Little one, even though it's a trash Martial Soul, you do have Innate Full Soul Power after all. Would you be willing to join the Martial Soul Hall?"

Su Yuntao added, "There are many powerful Soul Masters in the Martial Soul Hall who can guide your cultivation. Even with a trash Martial Soul, you might have a chance to become a powerful Soul Master in the future."

"Thank you for the invitation, Deacon, but I don't want to join the Martial Soul Hall right now. Besides, I need to discuss this with Village Chief Colin."

"That's fair."

Su Yuntao nodded. It was just a trash Martial Soul, so it didn't matter much whether he joined or not. After handing the certificate to Ling Yun, he strode away.

Meanwhile, Village Chief Colin, who had been waiting anxiously, hurried over as soon as Su Yuntao emerged and asked cautiously.

"How did it go, Deacon? Are there any children in our village this year who can become Soul Masters?"

"There is a child named Ling Yun. Not only can he become a Soul Master, but he also has the rare Innate Full Soul Power. Unfortunately, his Martial Soul is a metal bracelet. It looks like it can neither attack nor defend; it's a standard trash Martial Soul. What a pity..."

With that, Su Yuntao left Five Elements Village, while Village Chief Colin's eyes lit up with excitement.

As long as he could become a Soul Master, what did it matter if it was a trash Martial Soul?

Thinking this, Colin immediately walked into the Martial Soul Branch Hall, came to Ling Yun's side, patted his shoulder, and laughed.

"Not bad, kid! To think you have Innate Full Soul Power. Having such an outstanding grandson, I, Colin, can finally hold my head high!

I've decided: the quota for a work-study student at the Notting City Junior Soul Master Academy this year will go to you. Once you get to Notting Academy, you must work hard..."

At this point, remembering that Ling Yun had a trash Martial Soul, Colin rubbed his little head and comforted him gently, "Little Ling Yun, even though you have a trash Martial Soul, you must never give up on yourself, you hear?"

"I understand, Grandpa Colin." Ling Yun smiled and said, "Even if I have a trash Martial Soul, I will become a powerful Soul Master!"

Besides, I don't have a trash Martial Soul at all!

Ling Yun added silently to himself.

Seeing Ling Yun's confident expression, Colin smiled slightly.

"That's my good grandson. Come, let's go home. Since you awakened your Martial Soul today, we must celebrate. Once we get home, hurry and start the fire; Grandpa will stew some chicken for you."

"Hehe, thanks Grandpa! I'm in for a treat today!"

As they spoke, the grandfather and grandson returned home with smiles, enjoying a hearty dinner together.

After the meal, Ling Yun did not go to sleep. Instead, he went into the courtyard alone, wanting to test whether his Five Spirit Lock possessed a transformation function.

He released his martial soul, tapped the button in the center of the Five Spirit Lock, and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Five Spirit Power, Transform!"

More than ten seconds passed, but aside from a gentle breeze blowing by, nothing happened.

Huh? It can't transform. Could it be that it doesn't contain the power of the Five Spirit King? Or perhaps I need to obtain a soul ring first?

Looking at his Five Spirit Lock, Ling Yun secretly speculated.

After all, this was the Douluo Continent, a world of martial souls; it was highly likely that a soul ring was required to fully activate the energy within the Five Spirit Lock.

It seems I will have to wait until I join the Notting Academy and obtain a soul ring to find out. Besides, I must choose my first soul ring very carefully.

With this thought in mind, Ling Yun returned to his room to rest.

Early the next morning, Colin took him to the Nuoding City Junior Soul Master Academy.

Fortunately, the Five Elements Village was not too far from Nuoding City. After two days of travel, the grandfather and grandson arrived at the Notting Academy.

After handing the Martial Soul Hall certificate to the gatekeeper, Ling Yun smiled politely and said, "Hello, Mr. Gatekeeper, we are here to handle the enrollment procedures."
