Chapter 14

As he spoke, he excitedly fetched the crystal ball and handed it to Jiang Chen.

Although he had never awakened a powerful martial soul himself, according to the theoretical knowledge he had studied at Spirit Hall, the more powerful a martial soul was, the higher the soul power generally was.

For instance, with a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul, unless it was a mutation, it was impossible for the soul power to be only one or two levels.

Jiang Chen's excitement was no less than Su Yuntao's. He reached out and pressed his hand onto the crystal ball. Immediately, he felt a tremendous suction force emanating from it, and the soul power within his body began to surge frantically toward the sphere.

Just like the situation with Tang San earlier, once the crystal ball absorbed the soul power, it instantly erupted with a brilliant radiance, turning the entire room a deep, shimmering blue.

"Hahaha... Innate full soul power again! This is truly wonderful; I, Su Yuntao, have hit the jackpot today!" Su Yuntao laughed wildly, bordering on madness. It had truly been too difficult for him.

At this moment, he finally saw the hope of reaching the pinnacle of his life.

"Little one, would you be willing to join the powerful Spirit Hall?" Su Yuntao asked with extreme gentleness, much like a big bad wolf trying to lure a pure little lamb.

Jiang Chen had long anticipated this moment. He smiled and said, "Lord Su Yuntao, I do not have any plans to join Spirit Hall at the moment. I wish to study at the Nuoding Soul Master Academy."

This was a plan he had made long ago. Although he possessed powerful cultivation techniques and talent, he did not believe he would necessarily have the heaven-defying luck of Tang San; after all, geniuses dying halfway through their journey was a common occurrence.

If one wanted to become a god, staying by the side of the Child of the Plane, Tang San, was undoubtedly the most comfortable choice. As long as he waited a dozen years or so, he could steadily and securely obtain a godhood.

He would be a fool not to choose such an effortless way to curry favor.

"I suggest you reconsider carefully. You must know that Spirit Hall is currently the most powerful soul master faction on the Douluo Continent. If you join Spirit Hall, you will certainly receive the best training. With your innate full soul power talent, it is even possible for you to become a Titled Douluo," Su Yuntao urged.

He had never been so desperate before. If he could pull Jiang Chen into Spirit Hall, his status would inevitably see a massive boost. When that time came, he would get a promotion and a raise, and there was also the beautiful and moving Sisi—just thinking about it made him excited.

Old Jack's dim, aged eyes erupted with a shocking light. No longer caring about anything else, he rushed directly in front of Jiang Chen, slapped him on the head, and barked angrily, "You brat, have you lost your mind? How good would it be to join Spirit Hall? After a few decades, once you become a Titled Douluo, we can rename Holy Soul Village to Titled Douluo Village!" Old Jack puffed out his beard and glared, looking as if he were frustrated that the boy wouldn't live up to his potential.

Jiang Chen was somewhat dumbfounded; in all these years, he had never seen Old Jack act so fiercely.

Su Yuntao looked at Jiang Chen with a smile, waiting for the latter's answer. A Titled Douluo was the most powerful existence in this world; he did not believe any child could resist such a temptation.

Seeing that Jiang Chen had yet to answer, he continued, "If you join Spirit Hall, we can take you to obtain your first soul ring tomorrow, allowing you to become a true soul master."

Compared to a Titled Douluo, becoming a soul master was equally tempting to a six-year-old child, and this was something that could be obtained immediately, unlike the Titled Douluo title, which was merely a pie in the sky.

Faced with the temptation of becoming a soul master right away, he did not believe this child would remain unmoved.

However, Jiang Chen still stubbornly shook his head. "I am sorry, but I still do not wish to join Spirit Hall for the time being."

Su Yuntao was extremely disappointed. It seemed that winning over Jiang Chen today was impossible.

He looked at Old Jack, various thoughts flashing through his mind. It seemed that if he wanted to handle Jiang Chen, he would have to find a way through Old Jack.

"Very well, you may go back first. Village Chief Jack, please stay behind; I need to issue the martial soul certificates for these two children."

Old Jack glared fiercely at Jiang Chen, then turned his aged face toward Su Yuntao, beaming like a chrysanthemum. "Then I shall trouble you, Lord Su Yuntao."

Chapter 8: You Are Not Allowed to Hurt My Father

Finally able to leave, Jiang Chen couldn't wait to get out the door, ready to go home and properly study his Zombie martial soul.

Tang San and his father had been watching from the side the whole time. As Jiang Chen walked out, they immediately followed.

"Little one, wait a moment." Tang Hao, holding Tang San's hand, suddenly called out to stop Jiang Chen.
