Joining Spirit Hall

In Fate/Grand Order, Unregistered Spirit Origins were overflowing remnants of Spirit Origins. When players drew more than five copies of the same five-star Heroic Spirit, every sixth and subsequent copy would grant an additional Unregistered Spirit Origin.

Therefore, in the game, only big spenders possessed things like Unregistered Spirit Origins. Casual players who left everything to fate, like Wu Ling, could only look at them in the shop.

Yet now, an item Wu Ling had never possessed in the game was appearing in his hand.

Wu Ling and Su Yuntao both stared blankly at the Unregistered Spirit Origin in his hand.

Wu Ling was thinking, How did this thing get here?

Su Yuntao was thinking, What is this thing? It looks kind of impressive.

The Unregistered Spirit Origin was shaped like a ring, with eight spindle-shaped objects passing through it. At the center of the ring, within those eight spindles, was a sphere of energy emitting blue light. Thus, players affectionately called it a "plate."

Su Yuntao stepped forward and examined it carefully. He was certain he had never seen this Martial Soul before. He could not even think of a Martial Soul similar to this "plate," so he gave up and asked the person involved directly.

"Kid, what kind of Martial Soul is that?"

Wu Ling's expression stiffened. The information about a Martial Soul was relayed to its owner's mind the moment it appeared, so he had to know its name. But if he said it was an Unregistered Spirit Origin, how was he supposed to explain what a Spirit Origin was?

"...In response to you, sir, according to my memories, my Martial Soul is called the Heroic Spirit Disk."

Upon hearing the name of the Martial Soul, Su Yuntao looked at the Unregistered Spirit Origin in Wu Ling's hand. His thoughts began to wander, and his gaze gradually grew heated.

"Heroic Spirit Disk... Could this be a Martial Soul mutation caused by a plate? If it really is a mutated Martial Soul, then the chance of possessing Soul Power is extremely high!

"And it originated from a plate, a Martial Soul already at the very bottom of the hierarchy. There's a huge chance it mutated in a favorable direction. Could it be that I, Su Yuntao, encountered a talent during my very first Martial Soul Awakening?"

Although Su Yuntao had thought a great deal, his movements were not slow. He directly placed the crystal ball before Wu Ling. Whether he was a mule or a horse, he would know after testing him. As long as Wu Ling possessed even a trace of Soul Power, he intended to invite him into Spirit Hall.

Although Wu Ling did not know why an Unregistered Spirit Origin had appeared, he had already realized that his golden finger had arrived. This time, he placed his hand on it without the slightest hesitation.

By convention, as long as the crystal ball gave off even a faint glimmer, it meant the person being tested possessed Soul Power. The instant Wu Ling placed his hand on it, the crystal ball began to shine. Su Yuntao's heart trembled excitedly, because this level of brightness meant Wu Ling possessed at least rank two Soul Power.

But the light was only the beginning. In the blink of an eye, before Su Yuntao could calm that tremor in his heart, the crystal ball suddenly blazed with radiance like a glowing lightbulb. Even in broad daylight, its brilliance could not be ignored.

Su Yuntao's pupils contracted sharply. Pointing at Wu Ling, he said in a trembling voice, "Inn... Innate Full Soul Power!"

As he spoke, the way Su Yuntao looked at Wu Ling completely changed. This was Innate Full Soul Power! In Douluo I, before cheats became commonplace, there was currently only one publicly known person in the entire world with Innate Full Soul Power: Spirit Hall's newly appointed Pope, Bibi Dong!

And now, the second person in the world with Innate Full Soul Power had appeared before him, Su Yuntao, discovered by his own hands!

I've struck it rich! Following my teacher here to work was simply the best decision I've ever made in my life.

With an excited heart and trembling hands, Su Yuntao placed both hands on Wu Ling's shoulders. Suppressing the excitement in his heart, he began inviting Wu Ling.

"Child, what is your name?"

"Lord Soul Master, my name is Wu Ling."

"Good, good, good. Wu Ling, what a fine name. From now on, don't call me sir. Just call me Brother Tao. Tell me, do you want to join our Spirit Hall?"

Afraid that Wu Ling did not understand what this meant, Su Yuntao hurriedly explained, "Child, let me tell you, Innate Full Soul Power like yours is something rarely seen in years. Our newly appointed Pope, Bibi Dong, is currently the only person in the world known to possess Innate Full Soul Power.

"Although I'm just a nobody, so there may be other people with Innate Full Soul Power that I don't know about, Lord Pope is definitely the strongest and most famous one.

"As long as you agree to join our Spirit Hall, I'll immediately take you to our branch hall. Then we'll report it up through every level. Given the current situation, along with your mutated Martial Soul and Innate Full Soul Power, there's an extremely high chance you'll be able to meet His Holiness the Pope directly!"

Hearing this, Wu Ling immediately reacted. Wait, the newly appointed Pope Bibi Dong... and didn't he mention the current situation just now? Could this be around the time Tang San was born, when Bibi Dong killed Qian Xunji and became Pope?

Wu Ling, who had already intended to join Spirit Hall, was delighted.

At a time when power is shifting hands like this, Bibi Dong will definitely need a large number of people and members of her own faction. If I join now, although my current strength won't be of much use, my potential can still influence the situation somewhat. After all, no one wants to make an enemy of someone with limitless potential.

Of course, there are drawbacks too. It will draw the attention of some determined opponents. But as long as I get through this difficult period, things will become much easier afterward.

Of course, the future Tang San is also a problem. But if a transmigrator like me can't crush Tang San, the protagonist of this fantasy sewer, then what's the point of living? To avoid lowering the standards of transmigrators, I might as well kill myself outright.

To be honest, Wu Ling's impression of Tang San was not particularly bad, but neither was it to the point where he absolutely had to kill him. After all, who on the internet was not a hypocrite with double standards?

Everyone cursed people with double standards, yet everyone had double standards. After all, who did not want the people around them to have it a little better?

What Wu Ling truly found disgusting was Tang San's hypocritical face and words. He clearly did the things villains did, yet spoke with righteous conviction.

"Um, does joining Spirit Hall include meals?"

Wu Ling asked in a deliberately casual manner. Su Yuntao smiled happily, as though he could already see the day he received a promotion and a raise.

"Of course it includes meals, and you'll definitely eat your fill."

"Alright, I'll join."

"Ha ha ha ha, good, good, good!"

Su Yuntao was grinning so widely that he could not close his mouth. The children around them who had already completed their tests all revealed envious looks. Although they did not know the specifics, in their minds, merely joining Spirit Hall was a blessing they would have needed to save up for three lifetimes to obtain.

Su Yuntao led Wu Ling and the other children out, his face glowing with pride as he went to meet Qie Si and the others approaching them.
