But at that very moment, dazzling light burst from the crystal ball, illuminating the entire room in the blink of an eye.
A smile finally appeared on Old Jack's face. Su Yuntao, too, stared down in shock, unable to believe his eyes as he looked at the crystal ball blazing with brilliant blue light.
"Inn... Innate Full Soul Power!" he stammered in astonishment.
"How is that possible?" he cried again.
At last, he took the crystal ball away and looked at Tang San, his expression complicated.
"Innate Full Soul Power, and yet what a waste." Su Yuntao was heartbroken. If only Tang San's Martial Soul hadn't been Blue Silver Grass.
Tang San, however, had latched onto this new term, Innate Full Soul Power, and hurriedly asked what it meant.
Perhaps because he felt sorry for Tang San, Su Yuntao grew more patient and explained some things about Soul Masters to him.
By the end, Su Yuntao shook his head again and again. "What a pity. Someone with Innate Full Soul Power is a once-in-a-century genius, but you ended up with a Trash Martial Soul like that. Otherwise, I could have..."
Tang San wasn't discouraged by Su Yuntao's words. He stepped to the side on his own and watched Jiang Chen curiously.
If there was anyone he found most mysterious, it was undoubtedly Jiang Chen.
Although more than a year had passed, he still felt a lingering dread of Jiang Chen's sinister, icy aura. The memory remained vivid. If not for the fact that only a trace of that chill had seeped into his body back then, he would have been in serious trouble.
In his previous life as a disciple of the Tang Sect, Tang San had been most knowledgeable about poison, yet he still couldn't determine what kind of poison Jiang Chen's aura contained.
That poison was far too domineering. Just a trace had nearly drained the inner power of his Mysterious Heaven Skill.
He had once suspected it was Corpse Poison, but eventually dismissed the idea. Corpse Poison was the stuff of legends even in his previous life, and he had never seen it.
Besides, legends said Corpse Poison existed in Zombies, but from what he had observed, Jiang Chen didn't resemble the Zombies of those tales at all.
Jiang Chen was so mysterious that Tang San had long since come to regard him as someone on his own level, or perhaps even more dangerous.
He was terribly curious about what kind of Martial Soul Jiang Chen would awaken. Would it be a Trash Martial Soul like his own?
Without waiting for Su Yuntao to tell him what to do, Jiang Chen had already stepped into the awakening formation.
Seeing how serious Jiang Chen looked, Su Yuntao, who had been growing impatient, became serious as well. Awakening every child was his duty.
"Close your eyes and focus on what you feel."
Jiang Chen obediently closed his eyes and began to sense his surroundings.
Su Yuntao activated the formation. As soon as it began, golden specks surged out in great numbers, densely packed until they nearly filled the entire barrier.
"This..." Su Yuntao was greatly startled. His eyes suddenly lit up, gleaming with a ghostly green light.
He had never seen anyone awaken with so many specks of light. This was highly unusual.
More and more golden specks appeared, far faster than Jiang Chen could absorb them. In the blink of an eye, the entire wooden hut had turned dazzling gold.
Yet no one closed their eyes. They endured the discomfort and watched Jiang Chen standing in the formation.
Old Jack and Su Yuntao's eyes shone especially brightly, and they could hardly hide their excitement. With such a spectacle, perhaps an unprecedentedly powerful Martial Soul was about to appear.
"Don't stop. Focus and feel it!" Su Yuntao shouted.
The specks of light kept multiplying, and the process had already lasted far longer than the awakening of anyone before him. Still, they continued to pour forth, while no Martial Soul showed any sign of appearing on Jiang Chen.
