Reassessment of Martial Souls!

Li Zha had not chosen Spirit Hall because of Tang San or Yu Xiaogang.

From the very beginning, he had never believed Spirit Hall was some villainous organization like it was portrayed in the original story.

On this continent, hunting soul beasts was something soul masters had always done.

Ten-thousand-year soul beasts received protection only because they could take human form, while other soul beasts incapable of transforming were still hunted.

That alone was an absurd practice.

Moreover, Spirit Hall awakened martial souls for everyone free of charge.

In any novel Li Zha had read in his previous life,

few major powers could accomplish something so extraordinary.

Even small villages in remote regions had dedicated personnel sent to help awaken martial souls.

In his previous life, this was practically a replica of the college entrance exam.

It could change the course of a person's entire life.

What was wrong with Spirit Hall doing something like that?

Not to mention that after becoming a soul master, one could also receive a monthly subsidy of gold soul coins for free.

If one truly had to call it evil,

it was only because Spirit Hall's leader had gone wrong.

For example, the current pope, Bibi Dong, whose mind had grown increasingly twisted after suffering severe trauma.

If they changed to another pope, none of Spirit Hall's current actions could be considered villainous.

If anything, it was one of the more righteous forces on this continent.

Li Zha asked for directions along the streets and soon found the Spirit Hall branch located near Nuoding City.

A towering stone building stood in the city center, with two hall guards in standard armor stationed before its entrance.

Li Zha took out his martial soul awakening certificate and handed it to one of them.

"I'd like to see Deacon Su Yuntao."

After reading the certificate, the knight gave him another careful look.

"Deacon Su Yuntao is on duty today. What do you need him for?"

"There was an error in my martial soul awakening record. I want to have it reassessed."

"Reassessed? I've never heard of such a request. Move along, move along."

The other knight beside him waved Li Zha away.

At that moment, the knight examining Li Zha's Spirit Hall awakening certificate suddenly reached out and stopped him.

"Wait a moment. I'll go ask."

"Hey, aren't you afraid of getting scolded?"

"He has innate full soul power."

The knight glanced at Li Zha and walked into the hall.

The remaining knight stared at Li Zha in shock.

"Innate full soul power?!"

A moment later, Su Yuntao hurried out from a side hall.

When he saw Li Zha, his steps visibly slowed.

"It's you?"

He still remembered Li Zha.

When he had helped awaken martial souls for the people of Chentang Village,

Li Zha had been the only child to surprise him.

Unfortunately, the ordinary lotus root martial soul had held back his astonishing talent of innate full soul power.

"Deacon, I would like to have my martial soul tested again."

Li Zha looked at Su Yuntao as he spoke.

Su Yuntao gave a bitter smile.

How many people were dissatisfied with the martial souls they awakened, doubted their lives, and refused to believe it?

Too many.

But in reality, a martial soul was most likely determined from the moment one was born.

Six was merely the age when it could be tested.

Retesting would not be of any use.

"Child... even if you retest..."

He was considering how to persuade Li Zha more tactfully when

Li Zha spread open his right palm.

A red glow swiftly gathered in his palm.

The Flaming-tipped Spear immediately took shape!

Bang!

The Flaming-tipped Spear slammed heavily into the ground.

The floor shattered instantly.

"This is the martial soul I only discovered after returning home. This counts as my second one, right?"

Li Zha looked at Su Yuntao as he spoke.

Su Yuntao's eyes went wide.

Even his breathing stopped for an instant.

After a long while, he finally cried out in shock.

"Twin martial souls?!"

"Innate full soul power and twin martial souls?!"

"Test him! Set up the formation immediately! Help him reassess his martial soul!!"

Spirit Hall branch, testing room.

Soul masters filled the area around the hall!

Su Yuntao and Li Zha stood in the center.

"Are you ready?!"

Su Yuntao swallowed.

His hands were even trembling slightly.

Li Zha nodded.

"Good, take one step forward!"

Li Zha did as instructed.

"Relax your body..." Su Yuntao muttered.

Very soon, the formation resonated with Li Zha.

A section of Li Zha's Undying Lotus Root true-body martial soul slowly emerged from his left palm.

The observing soul masters around them watched this scene with puzzled expressions.

This needed to be reassessed too?

Wasn't it still just an ordinary food-type martial soul?

Then, an abrupt change occurred.

A crimson light suddenly flashed from Li Zha's right hand!

A Flaming-tipped Spear with a strand of red tassel appeared out of thin air!

The instant it appeared, the temperature in the room seemed to rise by a degree!

The soul masters who had found this strange suddenly changed expressions.

Many of them cried out in shock.

"Twin! Twin martial souls!"

"How many years has it been since we've seen one? This child actually has twin martial souls?!"

"No wonder! No wonder Deacon Su Yuntao made an exception and agreed to reassess a child's martial soul!"

Their gazes fixed on Li Zha, filled with utter shock.

Su Yuntao's eyes were also filled with astonishment.

"Twin... they really are twin martial souls!"

"Child! No need to continue the test! Take one step back!"

Hearing that, Li Zha opened his eyes and stepped back.

The martial souls in both hands slowly withdrew into his palms.

"Deacon, can you issue me a new certificate?"

"Yes! Of course I can!"

Su Yuntao moved quickly. With the assistance of those beside him,

he completed a new Spirit Hall awakening certificate in mere seconds.

He handed it to Li Zha with trembling hands.

After Li Zha accepted it, Su Yuntao remembered something and hurriedly spoke.

"Right, you haven't enrolled at a soul master academy yet, have you?!"

Li Zha blinked. "Does it count if I withdrew before officially enrolling?"

Su Yuntao: ...

"It does! It counts as not having enrolled! Don't leave in a hurry. I'll report your information to Spirit Hall's main headquarters!"

"There's a very high chance you'll be able to enter Spirit Hall Academy!"

He was extremely excited.

After all, if he could connect a genius with Spirit Hall Academy,

there was a very high chance he would be rewarded!

And this was a twin martial soul! It was a tremendous achievement!

A major reason Spirit Hall awakened martial souls even for commoners was so that talent would not be buried.

Whenever talent appeared, they could recruit it immediately.

And have it join Spirit Hall.

Ordinary people would not refuse Spirit Hall either.

After all, compared to other soul master academies,

Spirit Hall not only possessed abundant teaching resources, but also offered unquestionably the best treatment!

Li Zha nodded. "Alright, I can wait here for a few days."

That had been his plan all along.

Although he had read the original story, he did not know much about theoretical knowledge concerning soul beasts and the like.

Now that he had withdrawn from Nuoding Soul Master Academy,

choosing Spirit Hall was also an excellent option.

There, he could better determine which soul beast to choose for his first soul ring.

Su Yuntao had people from the branch head to Spirit Hall.

As he looked at Li Zha, he suddenly thought of something.

"Right! Your weapon martial soul can undergo a more detailed test as well!

A batch of strength-testing stones capable of measuring weapon martial soul quality happened to arrive here a few days ago!

Would you like to try them?"

Su Yuntao looked at Li Zha happily.

Under normal circumstances, these strength-testing stones certainly could not be taken out for use so casually.

But Li Zha was different.

Twin martial souls!

Using them for him could not be called casual.

Li Zha raised an eyebrow. "Strength-testing stones? Sure, let's test it."

"Please wait here. I'll go fetch them right away!"

He was even using "please" now?

Li Zha touched his little face.

Over at that master's place, his twin martial souls had been dismissed as worthless, just short of being called trash outright.

Yet here, even a minor deacon like Su Yuntao

treated him absurdly well.

The more he thought about it, the funnier it seemed.

Li Zha clenched his fist, a faint smile hanging on his lips.

"Right now, I feel especially refreshed."
