Changing Fate Successfully, Generous Rewards

There were exactly ten children in Holy Spirit Village who needed to awaken their Martial Souls this year, including Tang San and Lin Chen, but seven in a row had failed to awaken Innate Soul Power.

Su Yuntao's expression visibly turned disappointed.

He'd been running himself ragged for half a month and hadn't encountered a single child with Innate Soul Power. This month's bonus was probably hopeless.

"No soul power. Next."

After one child failed his awakening, Tang San immediately stepped forward to take his place.

Lin Chen instantly grew nervous.

Can he succeed?

He stared fixedly at Tang San's left hand, wanting to see whether he could spot anything.

The awakening began quickly.

Golden light rose from the six awakening stones, swiftly enveloping Tang San completely and leaving Lin Chen unable to see what was happening inside.

By the time the golden light faded, Tang San had already withdrawn the Clear Sky Hammer back into his body.

Lin Chen felt a little regretful.

But at that very moment, the system's prompt suddenly rang out in Lin Chen's mind.

[ Ding! Fate successfully altered. Please choose three of the following rewards. ]

Lin Chen was overjoyed. It had actually worked.

And he could choose three rewards at once. This showed just how greatly reducing the quality of the Clear Sky Hammer had altered Tang San's fate.

Suppressing the joy in his heart, Lin Chen examined the rewards.

[ Reward One: Dragon Roar Sword, a top-tier weapon Martial Soul. Comes with Innate Full Spirit Power and can emit dragon roars that disrupt the mind. ]

[ Reward Two: Profound Origin Technique, a soul power cultivation method that can increase the speed of soul power cultivation. ]

[ Reward Three: Endless Phantoms, an extraordinary movement technique. Once unleashed, it turns the user into countless phantoms, making it impossible to distinguish the true body. ]

[ Reward Four: Dragon Roar Sword Art, a sword technique designed for the Dragon Roar Sword Martial Soul, capable of fully bringing out the Dragon Roar Sword Martial Soul's power. ]

[ Reward Five: Beginner Body Tempering Pill, capable of raising the physique to the level of a Great Soul Master. ]

Well damn, Lin Chen could only marvel.

Not one of the five rewards was useless, yet he could only choose three.

Fortunately, system rewards could be retained. The rewards he didn't choose this time would appear again the next time he successfully altered fate, so there was nothing to agonize over.

System, I'll choose one, two, and five.

There was no need to say anything about the Martial Soul. It was absolutely a must-have reward.

If he remembered correctly, there were still three months until the new term began at Notting Academy, making the cultivation method especially important.

Without attending the academy, he wouldn't be able to learn meditation. He couldn't just waste three months, could he?

As for the Body Tempering Pill...

Whale Glue could replace it, but that stuff was still only considered an aphrodisiac. It would probably be difficult to buy any with a high age, and Lin Chen didn't have the money anyway.

So the Body Tempering Pill was also something he desperately needed.

The moment Lin Chen made his choice, the detailed information about the Profound Origin Technique was immediately poured into his mind by the system in the form of memories.

There was no reaction from the Martial Soul.

As for the Body Tempering Pill, it would be directly placed in the System Inventory. Lin Chen only needed to take it out whenever he wanted to use it.

While Lin Chen made his choice and received the technique's information, Tang San had already completed his soul power test and put on quite a show.

"Next."

After Tang San rejected Su Yuntao's invitation, Su Yuntao looked at Lin Chen with a face full of regret.

Lin Chen stepped into the awakening formation.

Su Yuntao repeatedly thrust out both hands, sending streams of soul power into the awakening stones on the ground. Faint golden light abruptly rose and completely enveloped Lin Chen.

At that instant.

Lin Chen felt a strange energy enter his body, circulating through him like a scan.

Then, a brand-new energy emerged.

The moment it appeared, it surged straight toward Lin Chen's right hand.

Lin Chen instinctively held out his right hand.

It was a miniature golden sword. A golden dragon coiled downward around its hilt, while the blade emerged directly from the dragon's mouth.

The golden blade was covered in strange runes and gleamed with a dazzling, icy light.

There were no heavenly phenomena, nor was there any great commotion. It simply floated quietly in Lin Chen's palm.

"This..."

The golden light had already faded, and Su Yuntao's eyes suddenly lit up.

Anyone who wasn't blind could see how extraordinary that little golden sword was. Even if it wasn't a top-tier Martial Soul, it had to be at least mid- or high-tier.

Tang San also saw Lin Chen's golden sword.

His instincts told him that the other's Martial Soul was far stronger than his own, but he felt no jealousy, because he still had another Martial Soul.

"Child, come test your soul power."

Su Yuntao's tone revealed excitement he couldn't suppress. He could already vaguely see a promotion and a raise beckoning to him.

"Alright!"

Lin Chen nodded and placed his right hand on the soul power testing crystal ball in Su Yuntao's hand.

The instant he touched the crystal ball, he felt a pulling force.

"Buzz!"

Golden soul power light suddenly shone from the testing crystal.

"Oh my heavens!"

"Another... another Innate Full Spirit Power!"

Su Yuntao was utterly stunned.

He'd spent half a month going in circles without meeting even one child with Innate Soul Power, yet now two had appeared at once.

And both possessed Innate Full Spirit Power.

More importantly, this child was different from the previous one. This child's Martial Soul was clearly a top-tier Martial Soul.

Had this happiness come too suddenly?

"Child, what's your name?"

"Lin Chen."

Su Yuntao took a deep breath before finally extending an invitation.

"Would you be willing to join our Spirit Hall?"

"Master, I need to think about it."

Leaving aside the system, Lin Chen didn't dare accept Su Yuntao's invitation with Tang Hao hiding in the village.

Otherwise, they'd leave the village on the front foot and get hammered to death on the back foot.

"Uh..."

Su Yuntao hadn't expected to be rejected twice in a row. Was Spirit Hall really so unappealing to them?

Spirit Hall was the continent's number one Spirit Master force.

"Fine. If you've made up your mind, you can come find me at Spirit Hall in Nuoding City anytime."

Su Yuntao didn't continue trying to persuade him.

He was afraid that pushing too hard would only make the other party resentful.

Besides, they didn't have to recruit someone into Spirit Hall to receive their bonus. They only needed to report the information.

It was just that he would gain greater benefits if the child joined directly.

"Thank you for understanding, Master."

"Let's go."

After asking Lin Chen for the name of his Martial Soul and preparing the work-study student certificates, Su Yuntao packed his things and led everyone out of Spirit Hall.

"Master, how did it go?"

Old Jack immediately came forward, his tone and expression filled with anticipation.

"Very well. Your village produced two promising Spirit Masters this year, and both have the exceedingly rare Innate Full Spirit Power."

Su Yuntao looked at Lin Chen and Tang San. His gaze paused slightly when it landed on Tang San, but he ultimately said nothing more.

"What?"

Old Jack was truly stunned. How could he not know what Innate Full Spirit Power meant?
