Martial Soul: Little Green Bottle

And harvest a bit of the power of faith while he was at it.

So, even without the Golden Dragon King causing trouble,

Tang Wulin's descent to the lower realm had been inevitable.

Otherwise, why would readers have called Tang San the Tang Buddha?

At that moment, inside Red Mountain Academy, a teacher walked out holding a form. His gaze swept across the children waiting before him as he called out.

"Han Li!"

Hearing this, Han Li stepped forward, nodded to the teacher, and then followed him through the academy gates.

The academy was more spacious inside than it appeared from the outside.

Neatly trimmed greenery lined both sides of the road, while several teaching buildings stood scattered throughout in an orderly arrangement.

Today was Awakening Day. Parents accompanying their children and teachers maintaining order moved through the campus. It was lively, yet not chaotic.

A moment later...

They arrived before a circular teaching building.

This round structure could be found in every elementary academy and had a distinctive design.

From afar, it resembled a white fortress.

It also had a special name—

Awakening Chamber.

It was specifically used to help six-year-old children awaken their Martial Souls.

And whenever Awakening Day came...

These academies would invite professional Spirit Masters from the Spirit Pagoda to conduct awakening ceremonies for eligible children.

The Awakening Chamber had seven floors, with a room on each floor. Awakenings could be conducted simultaneously, making the process quick and convenient.

Han Li was brought to a room on the seventh floor.

The door opened.

The space inside was larger than expected.

A magic array was drawn in the center of the room, while several pure white Soul Guidance Crystals were embedded in the surrounding walls, giving off a gentle glow.

The entire room was quiet and solemn, standing in stark contrast to the noisy surroundings outside.

A middle-aged man wearing an ancient-style long robe stood inside. The robe was orange in color and embroidered with the distinctive patterns of the Spirit Pagoda.

This was the Spirit Master sent by the Spirit Pagoda, specifically responsible for today's awakening ceremonies.

His face was gentle and his bearing steady. One could tell at a glance that he was highly experienced.

When the Spirit Master saw Han Li enter, a warm smile appeared on his face. He beckoned Han Li over.

"Come, little one. Stand in the middle."

Han Li nodded slightly and calmly walked onto the magic array at the center of the room, planting his feet firmly.

Once Han Li had taken his position, the Spirit Master's smile faded and his expression became focused.

He slowly raised both hands, palms facing each other. A ball of soft white light appeared between them, growing brighter and brighter until it illuminated the entire room.

The awakening ceremony had begun.

White light spread from the Spirit Master's hands, enveloping Han Li's entire body.

Han Li only felt a warm force pouring into his body from all directions, as though something that had slumbered for a long time was being awakened.

The sensation was not unpleasant.

Instead, it brought an indescribable comfort.

A moment later...

An incredibly dense aura of life erupted from Han Li's body.

It was vibrant and pure, like the first sprout of green in spring, or the freshness filling a forest after rain.

Green light seeped from Han Li's body and slowly gathered before him, eventually taking the form of a small gleaming green bottle.

The small bottle floated in midair. Its entire body was jade green, and dark green leaf-shaped patterns covered its surface. The patterns were delicate and exquisite, as though they had formed naturally.

The entire bottle radiated a gentle glow of life that made one feel refreshed at a single glance.

The Spirit Master was utterly dumbfounded by the sight.

He had presided over countless awakening ceremonies and seen all kinds of Martial Souls—sabers, spears, swords, halberds, birds, beasts, flowers, grass, and trees.

But this was the first time he had ever seen a small gleaming green bottle like this.

Leaf-shaped patterns covered the bottle, and it radiated such a dense life aura. What kind of Tool Martial Soul was this?

At that moment, Han Li had not expected this either.

His Martial Soul was actually that Heavenly Venerable Han's Little Green Bottle—the Heavenly Bottle.

That famous supreme treasure of the cultivation world, that legendary object capable of ripening spirit herbs and containing boundless vitality, had actually become the Martial Soul he awakened.

Han Li was secretly startled, but then a strange thought arose within him.

Had he somehow inherited that Heavenly Venerable Han's karmic connection?

They shared the same name, and now even his Martial Soul had become the Heavenly Bottle. What sort of connection lay behind this?

While Han Li's thoughts ran wild, the Spirit Master had already composed himself and swiftly began the next test.

He walked over to Han Li and lightly touched him with the crystal ball in his hand, testing the level of his Innate Soul Power.

A moment later, the result came out.

The Spirit Master's expression changed drastically, and even his voice trembled as he blurted out.

"Ten... level ten!"

"Innate Full Soul Power!"

"And a life-attribute Martial Soul!"

"This, this..."

The Spirit Master stared wide-eyed at the six-year-old boy before him in disbelief.

Innate Full Soul Power.

Even across the entire Sun Moon Federation, only the most exceptional geniuses possessed such talent.

Not to mention that the life aura radiating from this small bottle was so pure that he had never heard of anything like it.

At that moment, the Spirit Master was utterly shocked.

He had never expected

that such a small coastal city could awaken a genius of this level!

Once this news reached the Spirit Pagoda, it would surely attract the attention of the higher-ups.

Meanwhile, Han Li had already recovered his calm from his brief surprise.

He even felt a trace of excitement.

Thinking about it carefully, this combination was indeed quite good.

There was still a Golden Dragon King Origin within his body. He needed to slowly unlock its seals and absorb it, for the eighteen seals contained the Golden Dragon King's formidable power.

One was the support-type Little Green Bottle, while the other was the powerful assault-type Golden Dragon King Origin. The two complemented each other.

It was practically equivalent to Twin Martial Souls.

One for support, one for powerful offense.

A perfect combination.

Han Li's expression remained unchanged, but he had already begun planning his future cultivation path.

At this moment, the Spirit Master finally recovered from his shock. He took a deep breath, his face filling with smiles as an obvious hint of flattery entered his tone.

"Congratulations, congratulations."

"Your future is boundless, young friend."

As he spoke, the Spirit Master studied Han Li, making no attempt to hide the admiration and recruitment intent in his eyes.

If he could recruit such a genius into the Spirit Pagoda, it would be a tremendous achievement.

Han Li responded politely.

"Thank you, Senior."

"Ah."

The Spirit Master waved his hand as if to say there was no need for courtesy.

Then, he took out a bracelet-shaped Soul Tool from his robes.

The bracelet was exquisitely crafted and emitted faint fluctuations of Soul Power.

He handed the bracelet to Han Li and said warmly.

"This is a small Storage Soul Guidance Device. Consider it a gift."

"Of course, this is something the Spirit Pagoda provides uniformly, specifically to invest in geniuses."

"If you think our Spirit Pagoda is not bad, you can also go directly to the Spirit Pagoda in the city."

"When the time comes, you can join the Spirit Pagoda directly and receive better resources."

As the saying went...

The fight for geniuses began from the moment their Martial Souls awakened.
