Inside the Spirit Awakening Hall of Holy Soul Village.
Time resumed its flow.
The golden light enveloping Lin Jing's body slowly crept upward.
The golden glow was not dazzling; rather, it was somewhat faint.
A flash of disappointment crossed Su Yuntao's eyes.
Based on his years of experience awakening spirits, this situation usually meant a trash spirit, just like the children before him.
Originally, upon seeing Lin Jing's face—which possessed a youthful yet heroic air—he had thought he was guaranteed a gold-tier result.
It seemed his performance quota for the year was going to fall through again.
The golden light surged into Lin Jing's body, flowing down his meridians and gathering in his dantian.
Lin Jing could clearly feel a warmth radiating from his lower abdomen.
Immediately after, a faint aura emanated from his dantian; it was the spirit awakened by the golden light.
He slowly raised his right hand, palm upward, and a stalk of Blue Silver Grass appeared.
Two leaves stood on either side, with a short vine and an undeveloped bud in the center.
"Sigh..."
Su Yuntao sighed and handed Lin Jing a blue crystal ball.
"A trash spirit, Blue Silver Grass. Come, test your spirit power."
Lin Jing nodded. The moment he took the crystal ball, it erupted with a dazzling light, stinging the eyes of the children waiting nearby and forcing them to shut their eyes.
Even Tang San squinted, staring at the brilliant crystal ball.
As for Su Yuntao, he widened his eyes, looking at Lin Jing in disbelief.
"This..."
"What a pity. Why does it have to be the trash spirit Blue Silver Grass?"
"Innate full spirit power, level ten."
Su Yuntao patted Lin Jing on the shoulder and consoled him:
"Although Blue Silver Grass is a trash spirit, you have innate full spirit power. You may not necessarily fail to become a powerful Spirit Master in the future."
"Mm, thank you, Uncle."
Lin Jing nodded.
He walked to the side and stood with the other children waiting their turn.
"Brother Jing, you have innate full spirit power! Doesn't that mean you'll become a Spirit Master lord very soon?"
Beside Lin Jing, a chubby boy looked at him with envy.
"Yeah, Brother Jing, you're too amazing!"
Several others in the group chimed in.
Lin Jing smiled and nodded. He didn't know what kind of identity this Thunder System had implanted in him.
Why did these kids look at him with such awe?
Could it be that I'm actually a king of the children?
He thought to himself, then turned his gaze toward the last boy, who was dark-skinned.
Lin Jing truly didn't know how this kid grew up. They were all from the same village, and no one else was this dark.
How did this kid grow up looking like a charcoal ball?
"Extend your hand."
Su Yuntao's tone returned to impatience as he urged Tang San.
He had to rush to the next village that afternoon; this kid was just wasting his time by dawdling.
A flash of ruthlessness crossed Tang San's eyes, but it vanished in an instant.
Just a moment ago, you were all smiles for that kid, but now that it's my turn, you treat me like this.
Resentment boiled in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface as he raised his right hand.
The golden light Tang San triggered was the most dazzling of all; Su Yuntao even thought he might awaken a powerful spirit.
Who would have thought it was another stalk of Blue Silver Grass.
"Blue Silver Grass, trash spirit. You don't need to test your spirit power."
Su Yuntao packed up the awakening stones, preparing to rush to the next village.
"Uncle, you haven't tested my spirit power yet."
Tang San blocked Su Yuntao.
"You have a stalk of Blue Silver Grass, where would you get spirit power?"
Su Yuntao waved his hand and pointed at Lin Jing.
"Do you think everyone is like him?"
"Looking at you, you don't seem like the type to have spirit power."
Lin Jing had no reaction to being suddenly pointed out by Su Yuntao.
Because he was currently experiencing a mental storm.
This scene, this plot.
Combined with the left hand this kid is clenching...
He knew where he was, and he knew who these two people were.
The Blind God King Su Yuntao, and the Tang Buddha Tang San.
They say that whenever Brother Tao calls something trash, a new God King is born.
But Su Yuntao just called me...
Lin Jing recalled—three times!
Three times he called it a trash spirit!
Doesn't that mean I'm going to have three God King positions?
Tang San secretly clenched his fists.
His eyes were bloodshot, and he was breathing heavily like an ox.
Damn you, Su Yuntao!
Not only do you judge people by their appearance, but you've also made things difficult for me, Tang San, time and time again!
Damn you, Su Yuntao, you have already courted death!
Seeing that Su Yuntao was about to walk out of the Spirit Awakening Hall, Tang San quickly calmed his emotions and chased after him.
As Su Yuntao pushed the door open, Tang San slid to his knees and grabbed the hem of Su Yuntao's robe.
"Uncle, please just help me test my spirit power. It won't take long."
"You child."
Su Yuntao wasn't truly cold-hearted; he was just in a hurry to get to the next village.
He took the crystal ball from his side bag and handed it to Tang San.
"Get up quickly."
Tang San stood up, a flash of killing intent crossing his eyes as he looked at Su Yuntao.
He took the crystal ball, and just like with Lin Jing, a blinding light erupted, dazzling to the eyes.
"This..."
"Another innate full spirit power?"
"And both are Blue Silver Grass spirits? How is that possible?"
Su Yuntao snatched the crystal ball back, suspecting it was broken.
He grabbed a random child and handed the crystal ball over.
There was no blinding light; there wasn't a trace of spirit power fluctuation in the crystal ball.
"It's not broken..."
Su Yuntao opened his mouth, forced to accept the fact that this village had produced two innate full spirit power individuals, both with the trash spirit Blue Silver Grass.
When Tang San saw that he also had innate full spirit power, the corner of his mouth slowly curled upward.
Oh no, he's about to do the crooked-mouth smirk!
Quick, tear his mouth apart.
Lin Jing gave the boy who envied him a look, intending only to mess around.
Who would have thought this kid would actually go for it.
He didn't care if Su Yuntao was there, nor did he care if Tang San had innate full spirit power.
Receiving Lin Jing's signal, he lunged forward, both fists aimed straight at Tang San.
"Lin Jing, Lin Hu, you two won't quit!"
Tang San's gaze darkened as he grabbed Lin Hu's fist with one hand.
The next moment,
Tang San pivoted, using the momentum of Lin Hu's captured hand to fling him away.
He used the Tang Sect's unique technique, the Controlling Crane and Capturing Dragon.
Using the principle of four ounces to deflect a thousand pounds, he neutralized the attack into nothingness.
Lin Jing: "..."
Big brother, what are you doing?
You shouldn't have actually taken my order, right?
He was stunned, his mind blank.
I was just joking, why did you take it seriously!
Lin Jing never expected that this kid named Lin Hu was truly his lackey, acting the moment he was told.
He wasn't afraid of Tang San at all.
Whose subordinate is this?
So fierce!
He finally understood why Tang San always looked at him so strangely.
System, who is this kid? What kind of identity did you arrange for me!
Lin Jing questioned viciously in his heart.
[Ding!]
[The host's identity is an orphan who grew up in Holy Soul Village, parents deceased, has... no sister, no house.]
[This person is one of the host's many lackeys, who has followed you in making trouble for Tang San since childhood.]
Lin Jing: "So I really am a king of the children!"
This damn system, it made me offend Tang San right from the start.
But it didn't matter; he didn't like Tang San anyway.
Not for any other reason, he just felt that since he had already transmigrated to the Douluo Continent, if he didn't suppress Tang San, he would be doing a disservice to his own transmigration.
