Douluo Continent, Nuoding City.
Spirit Soul Village is a small settlement on the outskirts of Nuoding City. The environment here is beautiful, and a group of simple, honest villagers live here. Today is a big day for Spirit Soul Village.
At this moment, on a high platform in the center of the village, Su Yuntao is holding his breath and focusing as he tests the soul power of the refined young boy before him. A gentle aura envelops the boy's entire body.
Before long, Su Yuntao suddenly opens his eyes and exclaims in shock, "Innate Full Soul Power!"
The surrounding crowd is stunned. They never expected that a small place like Nuoding City would suddenly produce two individuals with Innate Full Soul Power!
Moreover, this time it isn't a trash martial soul like Blue Silver Grass.
As Su Yuntao releases his soul power, a fiery aura suddenly emerges from Chu Qing. Strangely, however, this flame is black, and it faintly exudes a terrifying pressure.
The boy looks at the martial soul before him and thinks, I never expected my martial soul to be the Nihility Devouring Flame! This is almost the most top-tier Heavenly Flame from the Dou Qi Continent! It is far beyond anything the martial souls in this Douluo World can compare to!
Thinking of this, he cannot help but show a joyful expression.
The onlookers are also filled with astonishment. Su Yuntao looks at the boy's martial soul with confusion; he has been awakening martial souls for decades and has never encountered such a bizarre one. However, one thing is certain: this refined boy is a rare genius!
No, he absolutely cannot let this opportunity slip! He must seize this once-in-a-century genius! Su Yuntao makes up his mind and says slowly, "Young man, what is your name? Would you be willing to join the Martial Soul Hall?"
"Hello, Uncle. My name is Chu Qing. I don't intend to join the Martial Soul Hall just yet. I would like to gain some experience at the junior academy first."
Knowing the development of the plot, he naturally understands that now is not a good time to enter the Martial Soul Hall. However, he doesn't shut the door completely; after all, he is still weak and shouldn't offend others unnecessarily.
Seeing the boy's polite demeanor, Su Yuntao develops a favorable impression of him. Besides, a genius like this will surely have a bright future regardless, so it wouldn't hurt to build a good relationship.
Thinking of this, Su Yuntao's heart stirs, and he says, "Then I shall recommend you to the Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy, how about that?"
With that, he writes a recommendation letter and hands it to Chu Qing.
Chu Qing is naturally willing and quickly expresses his gratitude.
He also wants to see what this Tang San looks like. As a transmigrator, he has long despised Tang San's various behaviors and is eager to see him for himself.
After Su Yuntao and the others leave, Chu Qing holds his breath and releases his martial soul, quietly watching the strange black flame before him, which radiates an aura capable of burning everything.
As the second-ranked top-tier Heavenly Flame on the Dou Qi Continent, it is certainly not something the ordinary martial souls of this Douluo World can compare to. He just wonders if some of the properties of the Nihility Devouring Flame will persist in this world, Chu Qing ponders to himself.
Immediately, Chu Qing turns and walks out of his small cottage, heading toward the nearby forest.
He was only three years old when he transmigrated into this world. The father who raised him passed away two years ago, and his mother had already died of illness long before that. For these past two years, the villagers of Spirit Soul Village have taken turns looking after him, which is how he managed to survive.
Around Spirit Soul Village, there is an ordinary forest. There are no major soul beasts, mostly just common animals, so it does not pose a danger to Chu Qing, who possesses Innate Full Soul Power.
Before long, Chu Qing arrives in the forest. He walks with light, quick steps toward the depths of the woods and soon encounters a wild boar standing under a large tree ahead, its eyes fierce.
Chu Qing is not afraid but laughs instead, rushing toward the wild boar. The boar, staring at the young human, is overcome with ferocity and charges at Chu Qing.
Chu Qing circulates his soul power. The black flames immediately sweep toward the boar, carrying terrifying pressure. In no time, the ferocious wild boar is turned into a whole roasted pig.
"I didn't expect this Nihility Devouring Flame to be so tyrannical! It killed it in an instant! Hahaha."
Chu Qing hurriedly circulates his soul power, and the black flames immediately envelop the carcass. Before long, a stream of pure energy flows into Chu Qing's body.
The soul power within his body seems to fluctuate faintly, and he has actually gained some growth!
However, this was just an ordinary wild boar, not a soul beast, so the energy gained was not much. But the mere fact that he can cultivate by absorbing biological energy is enough to make Chu Qing overjoyed!
Now, even without a technique like the Mysterious Heaven Skill, he has no need to worry about his cultivation speed!
Tang San, in this life, you are destined to be trampled under my feet!
Good! It is exactly as I expected! This Nihility Devouring Flame can devour the attribute energy of different living beings for my own use!
Thus, Chu Qing hunts many more prey in the forest. Aside from absorbing a portion, he leaves several carcasses to improve the meals for the village elders.
Two years ago, when he lost both parents, he was so helpless. It was the uncles and aunts of Spirit Soul Village who reached out to help him—eating at Uncle Zhang's house one day, staying at Auntie Li's house the next—which is how he made it to today.
Chu Qing is a person who knows how to repay kindness; he wouldn't go around saying others have a "way of taking death" at every turn.
Just as he is thinking, Chu Qing runs into Uncle Zhang, who is chopping wood on the outskirts of the forest.
Uncle Zhang is tall with a dark complexion, and his brow reveals a sense of simplicity. Seeing Chu Qing, he laughs heartily, "Little Qing! You've really made something of yourself now! Heh! Innate Full Soul Power—I've lived to this age and never seen a genius of that level! It's a pity my boy doesn't have your talent. Come, come, come, let's go to my house and have a bite to eat."
As he speaks, Uncle Zhang walks closer to Chu Qing and freezes when he sees what Chu Qing is dragging behind him: a wild boar carcass weighing two or three hundred jin, tied with a rope made of vines. Chu Qing is pulling it effortlessly, which creates a stark contrast with his young, tender face!
Uncle Zhang stares at him blankly and says, "Is this the strength of Innate Full Soul Power!"
Chu Qing smiles to himself. In truth, Innate Full Soul Power isn't enough to reach this level; it's just that he had just hunted several other beasts, and relying on the devouring properties of the Nihility Devouring Flame, he gained an increase in physical strength! That is why he is so different from an ordinary person.
He gives a goofy smile and says, "Uncle! Today, I'm treating all the elders in the village to meat!"
"Hahahaha, good lad! I didn't spoil you for nothing!" Uncle Zhang excitedly pats Chu Qing on the shoulder, and then the two walk toward the village together.
After eating and drinking their fill, the night passes without incident.
The next day, Chu Qing sets off early, carrying the luggage packed full by the villagers, and embarks on his journey of learning!
After Chu Qing leaves, Auntie Li looks at his retreating figure and says to Uncle Zhang, "His uncle, you say this boy Chu Qing, with Innate Full Soul Power, will he be able to become a Soul Saint in the future? That old drunkard Zhao Sanpao from Holy Soul Village is always bragging about how their village once produced a Soul Saint. Maybe Little Qing can do it too one day!"
Uncle Zhang smiles, "I think it's more than that. This child Little Qing might even reach the level of a Title Douluo!"
