Full Soul Power? [Please Recommend, Invest, and Collect!]

As they spoke, Master Cheng had already placed the crystal ball in front of the child. The little boy spread his palm and set it on the ball, and blue light gradually began to glow from its base.

Behind him, the boy's parents couldn't help holding their breath, watching the shining crystal ball with tense expressions.

The blue light stopped at about one-third of the way up.

"Innate Soul Power: Level Four."

Master Cheng smiled and nodded encouragingly. "Not bad, child. If you cultivate diligently, you'll surely become a Soul Master. Stand behind me for now. When the test is over, I'll take you all to register your Martial Souls."

Master Cheng was in a good mood.

The first child had Soul Master talent, making him even more eager to see how the remaining children would fare.

I hope someone awakens with a Soul Power Level above six today~

"All right, next!"

Once he had composed himself, Master Cheng continued the Martial Soul Awakening.

"Next."

"..."

"Next."

Similar scenes played out again and again as all kinds of Martial Souls appeared in the hexagram array. It seemed the first child's good luck had carried over: among the next nine children tested, four had Soul Power.

One child even had an Innate Soul Power Level of six.

But that was only natural.

After all, the children whose Martial Souls were awakened by Master Cheng were no ordinary children, and their chances of becoming Soul Masters were higher than those of average kids.

Soon, it was finally Su Luoheng's turn for Martial Soul Awakening.

"Go on, son."

"Mom believes in you. You'll definitely become a Soul Master!"

"Mm."

The couple smiled brightly and gave him an encouraging thumbs-up. They seemed entirely confident that little Luoheng would awaken a Martial Soul.

"It's your turn, child."

Master Cheng glanced at the three children still waiting and wiped his sweat, signaling for Su Luoheng to step forward.

Unlike his parents, he was feeling something else entirely.

He felt just like he had in his past life when pulling a card in a game—hopeful, worried, excited, nervous, and everything in between. He prayed he wouldn't have terrible luck this time. Martial Soul Awakening didn't come with a pity system...

"Get ready, child. We're starting now."

Su Luoheng nodded, took a deep breath, and stepped into the center of the Awakening Stone array.

As green light flowed into the Awakening Stone, a pale golden glow lit up and enveloped him once more.

Warmth—that was the first thing Su Luoheng felt.

The gentle light wrapped around his entire body, warm and soothing. No wonder the children before him had all calmed down after entering the awakening array.

As specks of light continued to stream into his body,

Su Luoheng vaguely sensed that something inside him was being stirred.

He instinctively spread his hands.

Yet no Martial Soul appeared in his palms.

At the same time, the golden light suddenly blazed with dazzling brilliance!

As the stars shifted and the heavens turned, an extraordinary scene appeared behind Su Luoheng: an endless wasteland, with countless nameless swords thrust into the ground as far as the eye could see, as though they had been driven there in a final act of sacrifice.

But in the very next instant, all the swords vanished, leaving only the wasteland.

Master Cheng stared in astonishment. One glance was all it took for him to feel as though he had fallen into that desolate scene, its bleakness washing over him.

When the light faded, he was still immersed in shock.

Was that...

A space, or perhaps an illusion?

What kind of Martial Soul was it?

In more than a decade as an Awakening Soul Master, he had never seen such a strange Martial Soul manifestation!

"Hm?"

"Our son seems to have awakened an unusual Martial Soul. I can't tell what type it is, but judging by the fluctuation just now, Luoheng's Innate Soul Power Level shouldn't be low."

"Mm. That fluctuation just now seems to have been related to a Mental Attribute."

"..."

Su Junran and Ye Lan exchanged astonished glances.

Even the two of them, despite their considerable experience, couldn't tell what kind of Martial Soul their little one had awakened.

Meanwhile, Master Cheng finally came to his senses.

"Child, what's your Martial Soul called?"

"I... don't know either."

Su Luoheng shook his head, also examining his Martial Soul.

"For now, we'll classify it as a special Martial Soul." Master Cheng composed himself, watched for a little longer, then waved a hand. "Put your Martial Soul away for now, then place your hand on the crystal ball so we can test your Innate Soul Power Level."

"Mm."

After a little experimenting, Su Luoheng managed to put his Martial Soul away, then rested his right hand on the crystal ball.

Blue light rose from within the crystal ball once more. In the blink of an eye, it had spread across almost the entire sphere.

"Innate—"

But just as Master Cheng was about to announce the result, the light that had filled the crystal ball began to ebb like the tide. His excited voice abruptly cut off along with it.

The crystal ball continued to flicker between light and dark.

At that moment, Su Luoheng sensed that some of his Soul Power seemed to be flowing into his body.

As time passed, the light finally settled near the top.

"..."

"Innate Soul Power: Level Eight."

Master Cheng's voice held a trace of regret. Although Level Eight Innate Soul Power was an excellent talent, it still couldn't compare to Innate Full Soul Power. The child's Soul Power was just as strange as his Martial Soul.

Maybe my eyes were playing tricks on me~

Chapter 4: Full Soul Power? [Please Recommend, Invest, and Collect!]

"Stand behind me, child. Your Martial Soul is unusual, but with this level of Innate Soul Power, it shouldn't be weak."

"Mm."

At that, Su Luoheng walked behind Master Cheng.

Although he hadn't gotten the standard transmigrator's perk of Innate Full Soul Power, he was already quite satisfied with Level Eight Innate Soul Power.

Still, he felt that his Martial Soul Awakening had been a little different from what his father had told him.

"Level Eight! Junran, look!"

Hearing Su Luoheng's Soul Power Level, Ye Lan grabbed Su Junran's arm, her expression bright with excitement. "That's a whole level higher than yours, Junran! Our son is amazing!"

"Of course! He's my son, after all!"

"Hm?"

"Most of the credit goes to my wife."

"That's more like it~"

Su Junran smiled gently, his gaze lingering thoughtfully on the crystal ball.

He had noticed the light of Innate Full Soul Power earlier.

During Soul Power tests, the light in the crystal ball always rose from the bottom up. It had never once receded.

If the crystal ball wasn't faulty, there was only one possibility left.

"Congratulations, Brother Jun and Sister Lan."

"I never expected Luoheng to have such talent!"

"..."

"We should be thanking you for making the arrangements today, Brother Chen. I'll be sure to visit and thank you properly when I have the time."

"Brother Jun, there's no need for that. It was only right."

With a warm smile, Chen Mingxuan watched the three of them leave Heaven Soul Hall.

On the Douluo Continent, Innate Soul Power Level ranged from one to ten and determined the upper limit of a Soul Master's future growth.

With Innate Soul Power Level Eight, Su Luoheng could, as long as he cultivated steadily, raise his Soul Power all the way to the Soul Douluo level without encountering any bottlenecks.

And given the considerable strength of Su Junran and his wife, any sensible person would naturally do well to maintain their relationship.

"Little Luoheng is a Soul Master now, too~"

"But I still don't know what my Martial Soul does. What if it's—" Su Luoheng was still concerned about his Martial Soul.

"Worried you've got a Trash Martial Soul?"

"A little."

"You rascal, aren't you usually pretty clever~"

"Hm?"

Su Junran laughed helplessly and poked Su Luoheng's little head.

"Your father's right."

Ye Lan gave Su Junran a mildly reproachful look, then leaned down and smoothed her son's hair with a smile. "Don't forget, you have Innate Soul Power Level Eight. What kind of Trash Martial Soul could come with Soul Power that high?"

"Mm!"

Hearing that, little Luoheng's spirits lifted at once.

Then he glanced at the street vendors, his lively eyes darting about.

"Mom, then can I..."

"You want candied hawthorn again? Didn't you get enough last night?" Following Su Luoheng's gaze, Ye Lan saw right through his little scheme.

"Ah! Mom, how did you know?"

"Hmph~"

Ye Lan poked her son's little head, smiling knowingly.

The little fellow looked to his dear old dad, who spread his hands to show he couldn't help.

Seeing that, Su Luoheng's eyes shifted. He threw himself into Ye Lan's arms, blinking pitifully as he complained, "Dad took all the ones from last night. I didn't get to eat even one."

"Your dad took them?"

"Mm-hm."

"Huh?"

"Wait, honey, those were for our son—"

"What do you mean, 'huh'? You're a grown man, and you're fighting a child over food?"

"All right, just this once. Let's go buy you another one."
