Innate Full Soul Power at the Start, Yu Xiaogang Wants to Take Me as a Disciple

Nuoding City, Douluo Continent.

Notting Academy library.

Zhou Tong lay sprawled across the desk, drifting into a slumber.

Suddenly, he opened his hazy, sleep-filled eyes and looked around this unfamiliar place, his face full of confusion.

Wasn't I just about to graduate from university and looking for a job?

Where did that heavy truck send me?

The next moment, a tidal wave of memories flooded into his mind.

After a long while, Zhou Tong finally understood his situation.

It turned out he had transmigrated to the Douluo Continent and had just become a Spirit Master.

His Spirit was a rare lightning-attribute vine, one that even the Spirit Master responsible for his awakening had never seen before.

Fortunately, he possessed innate full Spirit Power, so he was sent to Notting Academy to study.

To uncover the truth about his Spirit, Zhou Tong had come to the library to study books on Spirit Beasts.

After searching for over a month, he finally found a Spirit Beast that closely resembled his own Spirit.

The Thunderous Hell Vine, which appeared as a dark purple vine with lightning patterns.

It was the emperor among plant-type Spirit Beasts.

It was said that this Spirit Beast possessed the bloodline of the Thunder God, allowing it to cultivate by absorbing the power of lightning, granting it terrifying thunderous strength.

However, this Spirit Beast had a fatal flaw.

Its cultivation speed was slow; it could only grow rapidly if it absorbed the power of lightning.

Clearly, this was a Spirit Beast with a harsh survival environment.

Moreover, the destructive power of lightning was so intense that it was difficult for the Thunderous Hell Vine to endure; the vast majority of Thunderous Hell Vines would self-destruct before reaching fifty thousand years of age.

To think it's a Spirit of such a top-tier beast.

Although it's powerful, it carries significant hidden dangers, constantly facing the risk of the lightning's destructive force ravaging the body.

Zhou Tong frowned, lost in thought, but he soon relaxed.

The destructive power of lightning was rare in this world.

But it also meant that as long as he found a way to resolve the issue of its destructive nature, he would possess a formidable assault-type Spirit.

Fortunately.

Before transmigrating, Zhou Tong had been very familiar with the original work, giving him the advantage of foresight.

After pondering for a while, he came up with several solutions.

First, strengthen the origin; if the Spirit's vitality was sufficiently robust, it could withstand the terrifying destructive power of the lightning.

Absorbing immortal herbs or even obtaining the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline were both excellent choices.

Second, enhance lightning resistance; by increasing the Spirit's resistance to thunder, he could absorb Spirit Rings from lightning-attribute Spirit Beasts or use the power of lightning to temper his body.

Thinking of this, Zhou Tong's heart settled.

I am already at level 10 Spirit Power.

For my first Spirit Beast, I must find a lightning-attribute beast with a powerful origin.

He flipped through the book of Spirit Beasts in front of him, examining the information one by one.

After a morning of review, he accurately locked onto three potential Spirit Rings.

Lightning-Struck Wood, a Spirit Beast that survived after being hit by lightning, possessed strong vitality, as well as powerful lightning resistance and thunderous energy.

Thunder Cloud Leopard, which possessed impressive speed and powerful thunderous energy, was a swift-type Spirit Beast.

Purple Thunder Bear, a beast that was extremely violent, possessed a powerful physical body, terrifying speed, and potent thunderous energy; it was an ideal choice.

I remember that when I enrolled, the Dean said he would help me obtain my first Spirit Ring because I had rare innate full Spirit Power.

I'll go find him now.

Zhou Tong decided to choose one from these three Spirit Beasts.

However, just as Zhou Tong had walked a short distance from the library, he was intercepted.

"Dean, is this the child with innate full Spirit Power?"

"It is him."

"This child is certainly fond of studying. If his Spirit is passable, I might deign to let him take me as his master."

The voices of the two men rang in his ears.

Zhou Tong looked up and saw two figures appearing not far away.

One was the Dean, a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties with an ordinary face, dressed in the grey standard robe of the academy.

For years, he had been worried about the future of the academy, as there had never been a sufficiently outstanding Spirit Master to make a name for the school.

Therefore, when he discovered a genius like Zhou Tong, he took the initiative to offer help in obtaining his first soul ring, hoping to save the boy from taking any unnecessary detours.

If he were to become famous in the future, it would also bring some prestige to Notting Academy.

The other person was a figure of medium height and slightly thin build, dressed in a grey robe that had been washed until it was faded.

"Dean, you're here. Who is this?"

Zhou Tong asked.

"This is the academy's Grandmaster, Yu Xiaogang. He is looking to take on a closed-door disciple," the Dean replied.

However, before the Dean could finish, Yu Xiaogang rushed forward, stopped in front of Zhou Tong, and looked him up and down before saying in a deep voice, "Let me see your martial soul."

The Dean felt a bit displeased; this Yu Xiaogang, relying on his status as a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, was being quite disrespectful.

Furthermore, a martial soul was a soul master's most confidential secret; how could one just reveal it in public like that?

Zhou Tong remained silent and did not comply.

Who asks someone to show their martial soul the moment they meet?

This Yu Xiaogang was going a bit too far.

However, since he was brought here by the Dean, he couldn't very well slap him in the face on the spot.

Seeing the awkward scene, the Dean hurriedly said, "Let's go to the small woods; there are too many people here."

Soon, the three of them arrived in the woods.

A pale purple vine appeared in Zhou Tong's hand, with wisps of electric arcs flickering across it. It looked truly extraordinary, making it impossible for anyone to look away.

Vine-type martial souls were not rare, but a vine with the power of thunder was certainly uncommon.

"Grandmaster, what do you think of this kind of vine?" the Dean asked curiously. At this moment, Yu Xiaogang's brows were tightly furrowed as he fell into deep thought.

After a long while, Yu Xiaogang finally spoke, "This martial soul is very rare. I believe it is a new mutated martial soul. Let's call it Thunder Vine."

Yu Xiaogang clearly did not know about the Thunderous Hell Vine soul beast, but he still wanted to put on a show, so he simply gave Zhou Tong's martial soul a new name.

Thunder plus vine, named Thunder Vine.

He knew a little, but not much.

Moreover, what Yu Xiaogang knew was just common knowledge.

Zhou Tong complained inwardly, but his expression remained normal, and he said nothing.

Yu Xiaogang was a connection of the Dean's, and as a student, he dared not offend him lightly.

He knew Yu Xiaogang was a clown whose theoretical knowledge was barely better than that of an average soul master, but that didn't stop him from liking to brag.

He couldn't afford to provoke such a person, but he could certainly avoid him.

As long as he grew up smoothly, his future achievements would surely be extraordinary.

The most urgent task was to obtain his first soul ring; that way, his strength would advance by leaps and bounds.

"Grandmaster, what kind of soul beast do you think Zhou Tong should use for his first soul ring?"

The Dean had always believed Yu Xiaogang was a master of theory, and coupled with the fact that he was a clansman of the number one sect in the world, he held him in high regard.

Yu Xiaogang clasped his hands behind his back and looked up, saying, "For a vine-type martial soul, one should naturally follow the path of a control-type soul master."

"When choosing a soul ring, one should look for a soul beast that excels at binding."

"Or a soul beast that excels at defense, so as to enhance control capabilities."

The corners of Zhou Tong's mouth twitched slightly.

"Gangzi" truly lived up to his reputation.

Spouting nonsense with such a straight face.
