Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff

"Roar--!"

A beastly roar that seemed to shake the soul exploded in the ears of everyone inside the Spirit Hall!

This was not a physical roar, but one that resonated directly within the soul!

Golden light gradually intensified around Su Ge, and behind him, a phantom of a giant beast filled with majesty and mystery began to take shape!

The giant beast resembled a lion, its brilliant golden light threatening to surge into the sky, yet Su Ge temporarily suppressed it; after all, Holy Soul Village was not far from Small Stone Village.

The current phenomenon was already terrifying enough; if he caused any more of a stir, Su Yuntao might not even be able to stand while speaking to him.

He was currently examining his awakened spirit, and from the looks of it, his spirit seemed extraordinary!

It was a beast spirit, appearing extremely agile and fierce, yet its physique did not possess the kind of muscle mass that provided immense visual impact.

On the contrary, its overall state appeared perfectly coordinated, with every muscle seemingly brimming with explosive power!

Its head was massive, like a giant lion, yet it bore a demonic face. Compared to its solid golden fur, its face was black, etched with a devilish appearance!

Su Ge was stunned at this moment, for the appearance manifested by his spirit was exactly that of a Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff!

"Child, how do you feel?"

Su Yuntao's voice pulled Su Ge back to reality, helping him recover from his shock. He shook his head and said, "I'm fine."

"That's good. Let's test your spirit power now."

After steadying his emotions, Su Ge followed Su Yuntao's instructions and used his intent to retract his spirit.

Under his mental control, the golden phantom of the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff transformed entirely into golden light, returning into his body.

Throughout this process, Su Ge felt as though his spirit wanted to break through something, but he suppressed it for the time being; the current situation was not suitable for revealing any more.

Looking at the crystal ball Su Yuntao held out, he did not deliberately suppress anything and simply placed his hand on it openly.

As his palm touched the crystal ball, Su Ge immediately felt a surge of energy within him being drawn away, and the crystal ball began to shine like a brilliant gemstone.

A faint blue halo radiated outward, looking indescribably moving; this was the spirit power that countless people craved!

"Innate full spirit power, another case of innate full spirit power!"

Su Yuntao exclaimed, never expecting to encounter two people with innate full spirit power during this trip for spirit awakening!

Su Ge seized the moment to ask questions, playing the part of a child to cooperate with Su Yuntao, as he intended to use this persona as an excuse to emulate Tang San.

If it were an ordinary spirit, he would have joined the Spirit Hall immediately, as it was always better to lean on a big tree for shade.

But after his spirit awakened, his mindset had quietly shifted...

Finally, after Su Yuntao finished awakening the spirits of the remaining children, he was not disappointed even though none of them successfully awakened spirit power.

A single Su Ge was already enough!

However, when he extended an invitation, Su Ge politely declined, though he did not close the door entirely.

He merely said he would consider it, specifically adding that if he truly chose to join the Spirit Hall later, he would name him as the referrer.

Although Su Yuntao was slightly disappointed, he was pleased by Su Ge's later words. Thus, after issuing the spirit certificate, he gave Su Ge a recommendation quota for Notting Academy on the spot.

Although it was only a recommendation quota, meaning he would have to work as a student to cover tuition, it was still a rare opportunity!

One had to know that Small Stone Village did not have an individual work-study quota but shared one with several other villages.

Having Su Yuntao's recommendation was naturally the best outcome!

Once everything settled, Su Yuntao told the children to return home.

Su Yuntao briefly explained the results of the awakening to the village chief, and upon hearing Su Ge's decision, the chief nodded in support.

After offering some encouragement, he instructed him to prepare for school in three months.

With that, the spirit awakening came to an end. Once it was over, Su Ge wasted no time heading toward a small grove not far from the village, ready to study his spirit in detail.

As for the spirit certificate held by the village chief, under Su Yuntao's inquiry, the four characters "Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff" had been written down as his spirit!

After arriving at the small grove outside the village, Su Ge released his spirit once more.

When the golden phantom of the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff appeared behind him again, the brilliant golden light erupted from his body as he ceased his suppression!

As the spirit possessed him, the entire grove he stood in blossomed with brilliant golden light from the inside out!

The phantom of the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff merged back into Su Ge's body. Feeling waves of warmth flowing through him, he could sense his physical body gradually strengthening.

His body began to develop again, growing taller, and his eyes shifted from deep black to a solid gold.

His shoulder-length black hair also began to grow, its color changing from jet-black to gold!

Could it be that because the spirit is too strong, it has begun to influence me?

Looking at the long golden hair falling to his shoulders and his body that had grown taller once more, Su Ge couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Information regarding the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff surfaced in his mind:

The Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff is the legendary ancestor of all canine spirit beasts, and some even claim it is the ancestor of all lion-type spirit beasts.

It possesses immense natural strength and comes with the Dominator Domain aura from birth!

Renowned for its frenzied combat, once it enters a battle state and the Dominator Domain is triggered, its own attack and defense skyrocket.

Furthermore, it feels no pain, and all its inherent abilities increase in power by over fifty percent!

It also possesses a trait born for battle, which is... to fight until death!

Such abilities could almost be said to be born specifically for combat!

More importantly, the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff was a pure stat-monster; a ten-thousand-year specimen could rival a forty-eight-thousand-year Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, completely ignoring any bloodline suppression!

One must know that the Dark-Gold Terrorclaw Bear is a creature that can fight above its rank among spirit beasts—a thousand-year fighting a ten-thousand-year, and a ten-thousand-year fighting a hundred-thousand-year, were not mere rumors!

Yet, even such a genius among spirit beasts became a mere unit of measurement in front of the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff!

Feeling the surging power within his body, Su Ge took a deep breath and retracted his spirit back into his body.

At this moment, he couldn't help but start thinking; since he possessed such a powerful spirit, he naturally had to consider how to maximize its advantages.

"Logically speaking, my spirit rings should focus on amplification, pushing forward with extreme numerical values..."

Su Ge's brows furrowed slightly as he thought. He recalled the Life-and-Death Arena of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, as well as Bibi Dong's Undying Body, and so on.

Compared to these mechanical spirit skills, pure numerical values seemed to fall just a little short.
