He stepped out from the end of the line and looked straight at Su Yuntao.

"Spirit Grandmaster Uncle, since we're already here, testing me won't take much effort. What if there's a surprise?"

"I believe in my little brother. He's definitely not ordinary."

Tang San abruptly raised his head to look at Lin Chuan.

A warm current surged through his heart as he thought:

No one believed in me. Even this Spirit Hall official had given up on me!

Only Brother Lin Chuan! He had always believed in me without conditions!

Su Yuntao frowned. He looked at Lin Chuan's resolute eyes, then at Tang San's hopeful face.

He sighed. Who could blame him for being softhearted?

"Fine, then we'll test you, though this is purely a waste of time."

He held the blue crystal ball out before Tang San.

Tang San took a deep breath and pressed his palm against it.

The next second, a sight Su Yuntao would never forget for the rest of his life occurred.

The crystal ball instantly blazed with light, its dazzling blue radiance illuminating the entire wooden hut!

The light was so intense that it was almost blinding!

"This... this is?"

"Innate Full Soul Power?!"

Su Yuntao's eyes widened, and his voice rose sharply!

"Heavens! Innate Full Soul Power with a Blue Silver Grass martial soul? How is that possible?"

Su Yuntao stared at Tang San as though he had seen a ghost.

Tang San was also startled by the light.

Then ecstasy surged through him, and he instinctively turned to look at Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan stood with his arms folded, smiling as he nodded at him with an expression that said he had known all along.

Tang San admired him even more. Even a Soul Grandmaster had misjudged him, yet Brother Lin Chuan truly had a discerning eye.

"What a pity. What a terrible pity."

Su Yuntao recovered from his shock and repeatedly shook his head.

"If it were any offensive martial soul, even a sickle, then Innate Full Soul Power would make you a genius. Yet it had to be Blue Silver Grass!"

The light in Tang San's eyes dimmed somewhat upon hearing that.

"All right, you're the last one. Come over here too."

Su Yuntao looked at Lin Chuan.

Though he had just been greatly shocked, he did not hold much hope for Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan unhurriedly walked into the formation.

[ Ding! Target Tang San detected awakening Twin Martial Souls: Blue Silver Grass (unawakened state), Clear Sky Hammer. ]

[ Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the martial souls: Blue Silver King (evolvable), Clear Sky Divine Sword (the pinnacle of weapon martial souls). ]

Lin Chuan secretly rejoiced, but his expression remained calm.

As Su Yuntao poured in his Soul Power, Lin Chuan felt two streams of heat stirring within his body.

He spread open his right hand first.

A blade of blue grass emerged.

Yet this grass was entirely different from Tang San's Blue Silver Grass.

Its leaves were broader and thicker, while its entire body was crystal-clear.

Golden patterns covered its surface, and it emitted the majestic aura of a king that compelled submission.

The Blue Silver Grass martial souls of those who had just awakened around them actually emerged on their own, beyond their control.

Those Blue Silver Grass martial souls bent slightly toward Lin Chuan, as though paying homage!

"This is Blue Silver Grass too?"

"No, this is mutated Blue Silver Grass?"

Su Yuntao was dumbfounded!

Before Su Yuntao could finish being shocked.

Lin Chuan's left hand trembled slightly.

The phantom of an ancient-looking longsword appeared.

The sharp Sword Intent that leaked out in that instant made even Su Yuntao, a level 26 Soul Grandmaster, feel a stabbing pain on his skin!

"Twin Martial Souls?!"

Su Yuntao was completely stunned and nearly dropped the crystal ball.

Twin Martial Souls had appeared in such a rundown village?

Had Su Yuntao truly struck the jackpot?

Tang San, standing nearby, was even more shaken.

Twin Martial Souls!

I also have Twin Martial Souls. Brother Lin Chuan has them too?

And that Blue Silver Grass martial soul had an aura far stronger than mine!

As expected of Brother Lin Chuan! Even his martial souls were stronger than mine!

"Child, hurry! Test your Soul Power!"

Su Yuntao's voice trembled. He had a premonition that he was about to render a great service today.

Lin Chuan placed his hand on the crystal ball.

An even more dazzling light than Tang San's erupted!

It even caused cracks to spread across the crystal ball with sharp cracking sounds.

"Innate Full Soul Power again!"

"Even deeper than ordinary Innate Full Soul Power!"

Su Yuntao trembled with excitement and grabbed Lin Chuan by the shoulders.

"A genius! A peerless genius!"

"Child, you must join Spirit Hall! With your talent, the Pope himself might even accept you as a disciple!"

Old Jack stood nearby, utterly dumbfounded, his mouth wide enough to fit an egg inside.

Two children with Innate Full Soul Power?

Had our village ancestors' graves started smoking?

Faced with Su Yuntao's fervent gaze, Lin Chuan remained exceptionally calm.

"Join Spirit Hall?"

Lin Chuan tilted his head, glanced at Tang San, then firmly shook his head.

"Sorry, Spirit Grandmaster Uncle. I can't agree."

"Why?"

Su Yuntao grew anxious. "This is the most sacred place on the continent, with the best resources!"

Lin Chuan pointed at Tang San and spoke with a serious expression.

"Because as his older brother, I have to take care of Xiao San. You said it yourself just now: Xiao San's Blue Silver Grass is a useless martial soul, so Spirit Hall definitely won't think much of him."

"If I went to Spirit Hall and left him here alone, who would take care of him? Who would cultivate with him?"

"In this world, strength is certainly important, but loyalty and brotherhood will always come first in my heart, Lin Chuan's heart!"

His words rang out with force.

Tang San suddenly raised his head, tears instantly spilling from his eyes.

"Brother Lin Chuan actually refused Spirit Hall's recruitment for my sake? That was an opportunity to soar to the heavens in a single step!"

"Tang San, Tang San, what had you done to deserve this?"

At that moment, the string in Tang San's heart was struck hard.

If he had merely respected Lin Chuan before, then at this moment, he truly regarded Lin Chuan as a father!

Su Yuntao was stunned as well.

He looked at the two children, especially Lin Chuan's determined expression, and a trace of emotion rose within him.

"Good child."

Su Yuntao sighed.

He knew that forced fruit was never sweet.

Besides, if he forcibly took away a child who valued loyalty and affection so deeply, he would only make an enemy.

"Since you have made up your mind, I won't force you."

"However, since you intend to take care of him, then go together to the Junior Spirit Master Academy in Nuoding City."

"It may not compare to Spirit Hall, but it will be enough to get you started."

"I'll give the two of you work-study student slots!"

"Spirit Hall will always welcome you."

"Thank you, Spirit Grandmaster Uncle!" Lin Chuan politely bowed.

Tang San hurriedly wiped away his tears and bowed as well, silently swearing in his heart:

Brother Lin Chuan had sacrificed so much for me. In this life, I will surely protect him with my own life!

Whoever dares harm my brother has already chosen death! I will kill them!

Lin Chuan had no idea what Tang San was thinking at that moment.

He happily calculated to himself: How could joining Spirit Hall possibly be as satisfying as leveling up while lying down?

On the way home from Spirit Hall, Old Jack was as excited as a child, humming a little tune all the way.

Tang San, however, seemed burdened with worries and kept his head lowered as he stared at his left hand.

After Old Jack went ahead to the village entrance to announce the good news.

Lin Chuan and Tang San strolled slowly behind him, and Tang San finally could no longer hold himself back.

"Brother Lin Chuan." Tang San stopped walking, his expression incomparably solemn.
