Realm Profound Talisman

Lin Hao's eyes lit up. "Innate Full Soul Power!"

Su Yuntao stared at the crystal ball in his hand again. "After my appraisal, you indeed possess Innate Full Soul Power."

The level of Innate Full Soul Power was directly proportional to the quality of one's Martial Soul.

The higher one's Innate Soul Power, the better the quality of one's Martial Soul.

Across the Douluo Continent, there were not many children with Innate Full Soul Power.

Tang San was one of them, and so was Lin Hao.

Lin Hao deliberately glanced at Tang San. The weight in his heart finally lifted.

After transmigrating to Holy Soul Village, Lin Hao had not tried to cling to Tang San. He knew that even if he did, Tang San would not take him on as a lackey.

Now, the weight in his heart had finally lifted.

With Innate Full Soul Power, Lin Hao believed that, using the knowledge of a transmigrator, he could develop his Martial Soul even better than Grandmaster.

When Lin Hao walked out of the hall, Su Yuntao was speaking with Old Jack.

"Grandmaster, does our village have any children this year who might become Spirit Masters?"

"There are two. The sun must be rising in the west, and both of them have Innate Full Soul Power."

"Innate Full Soul Power?" Old Jack became emotional.

"Unfortunately, his Martial Soul is Blue Silver Grass."

"What? Blue Silver Grass?" Old Jack froze, muttering to himself, "Innate Full Soul Power, Blue Silver Grass... Fate truly toys with people... Grandmaster, can a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul really not be cultivated?"

"Blue Silver Grass is such a worthless Martial Soul. How far do you think it can evolve?" At the mention of Blue Silver Grass, Su Yuntao's tone was full of disdain.

"What about the other child?" Old Jack asked Su Yuntao hopefully.

"He also has Innate Full Soul Power. Unfortunately, his Martial Soul is a sheet of paper!"

"Paper?" Old Jack's expression turned strange and comical. "Paper... Blue Silver Grass... paper... Blue Silver Grass..."

"Alright, old village chief. I still need to go to the next village and help the children awaken their Martial Souls, so I'll be taking my leave." Su Yuntao departed, leaving Old Jack standing there, endlessly muttering, "Blue Silver Grass... paper..."

Tang San stepped forward and asked Old Jack how to hunt Soul Beasts and obtain Spirit Rings.

Old Jack plainly admitted that he did not know much either. Those were matters only Spirit Masters could handle.

After speaking with Tang San, Old Jack swept his gaze over the other children and asked, "Tang San awakened Blue Silver Grass. Who is the other child with Innate Full Soul Power?"

"It's me." Lin Hao stepped up to Old Jack.

"You?" Old Jack looked at Lin Hao in surprise.

"Yes." Lin Hao nodded.

"Lin Hao, don't be sad. When you grow up, I'll do my best to help you become the village chief. As for Holy Soul Village's work-study student spot, I've decided to give it to Tang San."

"Grandpa Jack, that isn't fair." Lin Hao glanced at Tang San. "He has Innate Full Soul Power, and so do I. Our talents are the same. Without even testing us, you're giving the village's only work-study student spot to Tang San. That is very unfair to me."

"But your Martial Soul is a sheet of paper!" Old Jack truly did not want to hurt Lin Hao's feelings, but he had no choice but to say something that would upset him.

How far could a sheet of paper evolve?

Old Jack shook his head slightly.

No matter how Old Jack considered it, he did not think a sheet of paper could evolve into anything powerful.

Throwing out a sheet of paper in a fight.

That was simply a huge joke.

Even if Old Jack thought with his toes, he would still think a sheet of paper could not possibly have any offensive power!

No matter how Lin Hao tried to persuade him, Old Jack insisted on giving the work-study student spot to Tang San.

Old Jack planned to take Tang San back to his home and persuade Tang Hao to let Tang San enter a Soul Master Academy.

Lin Hao returned home alone.

Sitting in a chair, he turned his palm upward. Gray light flickered, and a "sheet of paper" appeared out of thin air.

"There are no useless Martial Souls, only Spirit Masters who do not know how to cultivate."

"So what if it's a sheet of paper? I'm confident that I can rely on myself to evolve it into a powerful Martial Soul."

"It just keeps giving me a strange feeling. It seems as though there is a space inside it!"

Lin Hao had not told Su Yuntao in Spirit Hall that his Martial Soul seemed to contain a space.

Nor had he told Old Jack about this secret of his Martial Soul.

Lin Hao stared at the Martial Soul in his hand, caught in a dilemma.

"But how do I enter it?"

"Any space-type Martial Soul supposedly requires one to communicate with it through soul power—that is, spiritual power."

"Spiritual power should be what people on Blue Star call concentration!"

Without a teacher, he could only explore everything on his own.

Based on his understanding of cultivation, Lin Hao concentrated his attention, stared at the Martial Soul in his hand, and silently recited in his heart, I want to go inside!

In an instant, Lin Hao felt the world spin around him, and the scene before his eyes changed rapidly.

He entered a gray space. An ancient, solemn voice rang out in his mind.

"Realm Profound Talisman!"

The sudden voice forced Lin Hao to raise his guard.

He looked around, but saw neither person nor beast, neither grass nor tree nor stone.

The space was completely empty, containing nothing at all.

If there was anything, it was only some complex patterns that resembled stars.

Lin Hao asked, "Who is speaking?"

Silence. One could hear a pin drop within the space.

No voice answered Lin Hao.

"Could I have been hearing things just now?"

"Realm Profound Talisman!"

"Hmm, not a bad name. It's decided, then. You'll be called Realm Profound Talisman!"

Lin Hao continued exploring the passive soul skill contained within his Martial Soul—the Boundary Space.

He discovered that nearly all the patterns above his head were dim.

Yet the patterns beneath the ground were lit up.

"There are two teleportation gates in this space! The gate I just used is the way back. Then where does this gate lead?"

Lin Hao raised his hand and touched the gate before him.

Just as before, the instant his hand touched the gate, it twisted and formed a vortex.

The vortex gave Lin Hao a feeling that he could travel somewhere else.

Lin Hao took a step forward and entered the vortex.

A hazy gray filled his vision. He could not see his hand in front of his face.

"Where will it lead?"

"Douluo, Battle Through the Heavens!"

"Could it be the Battle Through the Heavens Plane?"

Thinking of the Douluo World he was in, the first world that surfaced in Lin Hao's mind was another world that also bore the word "Dou"—the Battle Through the Heavens Plane.

"If I'm going to the Battle Through the Heavens Plane, has Nalan Yanran gone to Wutan City's Xiao Clan to break off the engagement yet?"

When he thought of the Battle Through the Heavens Plane, the first person who came to Lin Hao's mind was Nalan Yanran, who was connected to Xiao Yan.

The instant Nalan Yanran's name surfaced in Lin Hao's mind, the hazy gray world vanished. The scene before him shifted at tremendous speed, and he appeared inside an ancient room.

Before Lin Hao could examine his surroundings, a woman's magnetic voice came from behind him.

"Who are you?"
