Poaching Talent

The next day.

Before Tang Wulin had woken up, Yun Feng asked Tang Ziran and Lang Yue for permission to undergo her Martial Soul awakening.

"A Martial Soul awakening?"

"Na'er!"

"You're still so young. You want to awaken your Martial Soul already?"

The couple stared at Yun Feng in astonishment.

"Actually, my name is Yun Feng! I'm not called Na'er. Yun Feng is my real name."

Yun Feng told them.

"Yun Feng?"

The couple froze for a moment, then quickly understood.

They assumed that Yun Feng had not trusted them before, which was why she had not revealed her real name.

But...

"Isn't a Martial Soul awakening a little too early?"

Yun Feng's gaze was resolute as she said in a low voice, "I think I can do it. Please let me go!"

"Feng'er..."

Lang Yue furrowed her brow.

She noticed that her daughter seemed somewhat different today from before!

But she could not say exactly what had changed.

"Alright!"

Tang Ziran readily agreed.

"I'll take you there today!"

"Mm."

Yun Feng nodded and thanked Tang Ziran.

Tang Ziran smiled as well and waved his hand. "We're family. Why be so polite?"

Lang Yue went inside to wake Tang Wulin and urged him to wash up and eat breakfast.

However, faced with a table full of food, Tang Wulin, who normally had an enormous appetite, did not eat much.

"I'm full!"

He quickly set down his bowl and chopsticks.

"Full?"

"Wulin, you usually eat so much. Why are you full after eating so little today?"

Tang Ziran looked at Tang Wulin in surprise.

Tang Wulin found it strange too. He rubbed his stomach and said, "I don't know what's going on either, but I just can't eat anymore! Maybe... my appetite has become normal?"

His appetite becoming normal was inevitable.

A major reason Tang Wulin had such a huge appetite was because he needed to withstand the Gold Dragon King's power.

But Yun Feng had already taken away part of the Gold Dragon King's power.

Having lost that portion of pressure, Tang Wulin's appetite naturally decreased.

After breakfast, Tang Wulin went to Red Mountain Academy, while Tang Ziran took Yun Feng to the Spirit Pagoda in Aolai City to awaken her Martial Soul.

On the Spirit Pagoda Platform.

A Spirit Pagoda Master stood before Yun Feng, guiding her to sense her Martial Soul.

"Don't be nervous!"

"The Martial Soul is a gift bestowed upon every one of us by heaven."

"Turn inward and sense your Martial Soul!"

As the Spirit Pagoda Master spoke, his hands released gentle, milky-white Soul Power.

Yun Feng slowly closed her eyes.

He drew upon the Gold Dragon King's power within his body and released the Golden Dragon Spear, disguising it as his Martial Soul!

Dazzling golden light illuminated the entire Spirit Pagoda Platform.

As the Golden Dragon Spear appeared, an indescribable pressure immediately descended upon everyone's hearts.

Yun Feng opened her eyes!

A brilliant gold surfaced in her eyes once more, and even her hair gradually turned into a dazzling golden color.

She raised her hand and gripped the Golden Dragon Spear. Then, a resounding dragon roar rang out!

"Roar!!!"

"This is..."

"A dragon's roar?"

"What a powerful Martial Soul!"

The Spirit Pagoda Master's pupils contracted.

Any Martial Soul related to dragons was synonymous with power.

Though he did not recognize the golden spear, the Spirit Pagoda Master could feel his own Martial Soul being suppressed before it!

He was a Soul King!

Yet Yun Feng before him had not even obtained a Soul Ring!

Even so, he could feel such terrifying suppression. That alone was enough to prove how frightening Yun Feng's Martial Soul was.

It was absolute suppression in terms of quality!

It had nothing to do with Soul Power.

"Let me see, your Soul Power Level is..."

"Level ten?"

"Full Soul Power! This is Innate Full Soul Power!"

The Spirit Pagoda Master's voice immediately became excited.

A Martial Soul of incredibly high quality, coupled with Innate Full Soul Power—this was a genius!

"What?"

Below the platform.

Tang Ziran also stared at Yun Feng on the platform in astonishment.

She actually had Innate Full Soul Power!

Aolai City had never produced a genius with Innate Full Soul Power before!

The Spirit Pagoda Master immediately extended an invitation to Yun Feng.

"Little girl!"

"Would you like to join the Spirit Pagoda?"

"I guarantee you'll receive the best education. The Aolai City Spirit Pagoda can recommend you to the Spirit Pagoda headquarters! That is the headquarters of the greatest Soul Master organization in the world today!"

Attending an academy?

That was merely an option for ordinary people.

Geniuses were not included among them.

The offer made by the Spirit Pagoda Master would undoubtedly be quite tempting to others.

Unfortunately, Yun Feng already had her own plans.

"I'm sorry!"

"I refuse."

The Spirit Pagoda Master froze.

Refuse?

This was the first time he had encountered a child refusing recruitment by the Spirit Pagoda!

But since Yun Feng was unwilling, he could not forcibly take her away.

Still, after the awakening ceremony ended, he immediately reported that Aolai City had produced someone with Innate Full Soul Power and a powerful Martial Soul.

Even in this era when Soul Masters were growing in number by the day, Innate Full Soul Power still marked an absolute genius.

After returning home.

Lang Yue was somewhat surprised when she saw the changes in Yun Feng's appearance.

After learning that she possessed Innate Full Soul Power, she was even more astonished.

"Innate Full Soul Power?"

"Really?"

Tang Ziran nodded. "Really!"

Lang Yue was overjoyed!

She looked at Yun Feng and directly pulled her into an embrace, sighing emotionally, "Feng'er, my good daughter, I'm proud of you!"

Yun Feng blinked, feeling somewhat awkward.

"..."

That night, Tang Ziran spared no expense, buying a great deal of high-quality ingredients.

Tang Wulin was delighted as well and happy for Yun Feng.

Yet when he saw Yun Feng display her Martial Soul, an inexplicable tremor arose in his heart.

"This Martial Soul..."

"So powerful!"

His Blue Silver Grass was trembling faintly.

"Martial Souls related to dragons are all powerful! Feng'er, you will definitely become one of the strongest Soul Masters in the future!"

Tang Ziran explained from the side, his expression proud.

A few days later, higher-ranking Spirit Pagoda Masters visited the Tang Family. Accompanying them were officials from Aolai City.

The matter of Innate Full Soul Power could not be concealed at all. Especially since Yun Feng was Aolai City's first person with Innate Full Soul Power, it was enough to alarm the city lord of Aolai City.

The two groups ran into each other outside the Tang Family's door.

"Hmm?"

"Could the Spirit Pagoda be trying to poach talent from our Federation?"

The Aolai City official frowned.

The Spirit Pagoda Masters looked coldly at them as one said in a deep voice, "Everyone wants a genius! What, only the Federation gets to have one? The Spirit Pagoda can't?"

"The Federation rules the continent! Naturally, it should have the best!"

"The Spirit Pagoda concerns the cultivation of Soul Masters across the world. Only with us can an unparalleled genius receive the best training!"

Neither side was willing to yield.

Just as both sides stood at swords' points, Lang Yue opened the door.

"Um... everyone?"

"Feng'er said she chooses the Federation."

"What?"

The Spirit Pagoda Master's pupils contracted as he looked at Lang Yue in astonishment.

The Aolai City officials were overjoyed!

The Spirit Pagoda Master hurriedly said, "Madam, please reconsider! The conditions our Spirit Pagoda can offer are no worse than the Federation's!"

"Moreover, I guarantee that the Spirit Pagoda will one day be able to add a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring and a complete set of Soul Bones for your daughter!"
