Innate Full Soul Power!

Su Yuntao stood there dumbfounded, but quickly came back to his senses. Shaking his head in disappointment, he said, "What a pity. Though it's Innate Full Soul Power, it's just a worthless Blue Silver Grass. There's still no future in it..."

"The last one!"

Tang San wanted to ask what "Innate Full Soul Power" meant, but Lu Yu had already stepped forward and taken his place at the center of the hexagram array.

Tang San frowned at Lu Yu, feeling somewhat displeased. How could this guy be so rude?

I was just about to ask a question, and he stepped out to interrupt me!

If Lu Yu had heard his thoughts, he probably would have instantly reverted to being the Land Keyboard Immortal and started cursing him out.

Fuck...

You've finished awakening, but I haven't!

On the Douluo Continent, awakening one's martial soul concerned a person's future destiny. Who wouldn't be anxious? Couldn't he see that Su Yuntao was already getting impatient? If Tang San asked too many questions, who knew whether Su Yuntao might just ignore him altogether?

By then, Su Yuntao had already injected six streams of Soul Power into the six black stones, and a faint golden glow lit up.

Lu Yu only felt a warm current envelop his entire body. Then, as if prompted by instinct, he spread open his palm, where a phantom slowly solidified.

Su Yuntao held his breath, his eyes brimming with anticipation.

Whenever a child awakened, golden motes would appear within the golden light formed by the hexagram array. If those motes were sparse and faint, there was a high chance of an ordinary, worthless martial soul appearing.

When Tang San awakened just now, there had been more golden motes than the other seven children combined, but unfortunately...

Though he possessed Innate Full Soul Power, his martial soul was still worthless.

Yet just moments ago, the entire hexagram array had been shrouded in golden light. Su Yuntao had not only never seen such a sight before—he had never even heard of it!

But as the phantom in Lu Yu's palm fully solidified, Su Yuntao's expression froze. Even the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

Fuck...

Wasn't that a complete waste of my feelings?

Looking at the vaguely cube-shaped, pitch-black "lump of rock" with nothing special about it, Su Yuntao was thoroughly disappointed.

Another worthless martial soul!

"Test your Soul Power!"

Su Yuntao did not waste words. With Tang San's case as precedent, he did not skip the Soul Power test outright.

Su Yuntao held the blue crystal ball before Lu Yu, who placed his hand on it.

The Qi cultivated within his body through the Reverse Birth Triple technique seemed to have found an outlet, pouring wildly into the crystal ball!

In the blink of an eye, blue light filled the crystal ball!

The scene was exactly the same as when Tang San had been tested earlier!

Another Innate Full Soul Power?!?

Su Yuntao suddenly felt the urge to burst into tears...

Fuck...

Innate Full Soul Power!

That was the talent of legends!

And yet...

Both of their martial souls were more worthless than the other!

"Crack..."

Just then!

A faint cracking sound suddenly rang out.

Immediately afterward, Su Yuntao watched in shock as a crack appeared on the blue crystal ball. The crack rapidly spread, soon covering the entire ball.

Then...

"Bang!"

The crystal ball exploded into shards all over the ground!

Su Yuntao was utterly bewildered. This crystal ball, used to test innate Soul Power, could withstand up to level ten.

In other words, as long as no more than level ten Soul Power was injected into it, the crystal ball would not be damaged.

As for exceeding level ten?

A child who had only just awakened their martial soul, no matter how monstrous their talent or how powerful their martial soul, could never possibly possess Soul Power above level ten before obtaining their first soul ring!

Thus...

The "Blind God King" simply attributed it to the successive impacts of two Innate Full Soul Powers, which had overwhelmed the crystal ball and caused it to shatter...

"Cough... Uncle... I don't need to pay for this, right?"

Lu Yu's somewhat awkward voice interrupted Su Yuntao's thoughts.

Su Yuntao's mouth twitched as he irritably waved a hand. "No!"

As he spoke, he collected the six stones from the ground and pushed the door open to leave.

Old Jack had long been waiting anxiously outside. Upon learning that seven of the children had worthless martial souls, disappointment immediately filled his face.

When he then learned that Tang San and Lu Yu both possessed Innate Full Soul Power, yet also had worthless martial souls, Old Jack's expression became extraordinarily colorful.

Such a situation probably would not occur even once in a hundred years, would it?

He did not know whether to call it fortunate or unfortunate...

After Su Yuntao left, the seven children were taken away by their respective parents. Old Jack first escorted Tang San back to the Blacksmith Shop, then brought Lu Yu home.

Along the way, Old Jack kept consoling them, saying that even with worthless martial souls, they could still become noble Soul Masters because they possessed Innate Full Soul Power!

He also said that their talents could not be wasted, and that he would send them to Nuoding City's junior Soul Master Academy to study.

Tang San remained absentminded the entire way, while Lu Yu kept frowning, deep in thought.

After returning home, Lu Yu casually made an excuse and headed straight for the back mountain.

Sitting cross-legged atop a mountain peak, Lu Yu spread open his palm. The "lump of rock" appeared, and a smile surfaced on his face.

A worthless martial soul?

Only the "Blind God King" Su Yuntao could say something like that, right?

From what Lu Yu knew of the Douluo Continent, those with Innate Full Soul Power generally possessed powerful martial souls and extraordinary talent!

Tang San's case, where his martial soul was Blue Silver Grass yet he possessed Innate Full Soul Power, was because he had a second martial soul!

But Lu Yu had no second martial soul, which meant...

His martial soul had to be exceptional!

A lump of rock?

Mistaking an unknown martial soul for a "lump of rock"—he truly deserved the title of "Blind God King"!

Lu Yu played with his martial soul, finding it more familiar the longer he looked at it.

After examining it closely, his brows lifted slightly, and a trace of astonishment flashed through his eyes.

The "lump of rock" was roughly square, though its surface was somewhat irregular. Its top was slightly narrower and its bottom slightly wider, making it rather resemble an Imperial Seal from Blue Star...

Most importantly, Lu Yu found two extremely blurry characters on its underside!

"Heaven-Defying"!

Lu Yu was somewhat dazed as he muttered:

"This is... the Heaven-Defying Seal?!? How did it transmigrate with me? And even become my martial soul?!?"

In his previous life, Lu Yu had been dearly favored by Lu Jin.

It was no exaggeration to say that whenever Lu Yu made a request, Lu Jin would think of every possible way to fulfill it.

Back then, Lu Yu had merely mentioned in passing that he was interested in Longhu Mountain's Golden Light Spell and Thunder Arts.

Without another word, Lu Jin went straight to the Heavenly Master Mansion. He wheedled, pleaded, appealed to emotion and reason, and shamelessly obtained the cultivation methods for the Golden Light Spell and Thunder Arts from the Old Heavenly Master!

That showed just how much Lu Jin doted on Lu Yu.

For that very reason, Lu Jin had taught Lu Yu nearly everything he had learned in his life.

Lu Jin's signature techniques were the Reverse Birth Triple, a method of reversing acquired nature to cultivate Innate Qi, and the Heavenly Talisman, one of the Eight Wonders!

Lu Yu had not disappointed Lu Jin either. Though his aptitude in his previous life could not be called unparalleled throughout history, he was undoubtedly a genius!

By the age of eighteen, Lu Yu had cultivated the Reverse Birth Triple to the second stage. Though he had only just entered the door and could not compare to Lu Jin, who had immersed himself in the second stage for many years, it was already enough for him to sweep aside the younger generation.

Unfortunately, the Golden Light Spell had to be cultivated from childhood. Only by using Innate Qi to lay a solid foundation could one achieve mastery.

Lu Yu had only begun cultivating the Golden Light Spell at nineteen. In the end, he had barely reached minor mastery and could advance no further.
