Iron Su Yuntao, Flowing Innate Full Soul Power! The Gears of Fate Begin to Turn!
"Alright." The guard did not mean to make things difficult for Chen Qingling and stepped aside to let her pass.
Watching Chen Qingling enter Spirit Hall, the guard shook his head and sighed.
"What a pity!"
"What's so pitiful about it?"
"That girl was too old. If she came to Spirit Hall to have her Soul Power Level tested, it meant she might have only just obtained her first soul ring."
"She was pretty enough, but her talent was lacking."
Little did they know that Chen Qingling possessed Flowing Innate Full Soul Power and was a rising talent.
After entering Spirit Hall, Chen Qingling looked at the twenty-meter-high ceiling without changing expression.
She had witnessed too many magnificent sights at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and had grown immune to them.
Chen Qingling looked around. There were not many people inside Spirit Hall, only a few people cleaning.
Just then, a man's voice sounded from behind her. "Little girl, what are you doing at Spirit Hall?"
A plain-looking middle-aged man walked over.
"You are...?"
"I am Spirit Hall Deacon Su Yuntao, in charge of Spirit Hall affairs."
Chen Qingling's eyes lit up. Wasn't this the person she had come to find?
"I'm here to have my Soul Power Level tested."
After doing her homework at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Chen Qingling knew full well that she was relatively old, making it difficult for her to enroll in an academy.
Therefore, she could only rely on an official test report from Spirit Hall and enter an academy under the identity of a late-blooming genius.
Su Yuntao nodded slightly. "Alright, follow me."
He led Chen Qingling up the stairs beside them to the second floor of Spirit Hall, arriving at a corridor.
Clearly, the second floor was where Spirit Hall conducted its business. They entered a room containing a Soul Power Measuring Orb and several stones.
"Place your hand on it and inject your soul power."
Chen Qingling did as instructed.
A faint blue glow flickered. Su Yuntao focused his gaze on it.
"Soul Power Level thirteen..."
"Child, don't be discouraged. You'll be able to become a Soul Grandmaster in the future too."
"I'd also like to test my Innate Soul Power."
"Test your Innate Soul Power?" Su Yuntao frowned, unable to understand why she wanted to test it.
Looking at the adorable girl before him, he wanted to refuse, but the words would not leave his mouth.
"Alright."
Testing Innate Soul Power was not difficult. It would only take a moment.
Su Yuntao adjusted the Soul Power Measuring Orb. "Put your hand on it."
Chen Qingling reached out and touched the crystal-like orb. The next moment, a dazzling blue light engulfed the room.
"What?!"
Su Yuntao cried out in shock, staring in disbelief at the Soul Power Measuring Orb testing her Innate Soul Power.
He instinctively rubbed his eyes, making sure he had not misread it.
"You... you have Innate Full Soul Power!"
"But why is your Soul Power Level so low?"
"Unless... you awakened your Martial Soul not long ago!"
"Yes, Deacon Su Yuntao."
Su Yuntao suddenly understood, though he still could not comprehend why someone would awaken their Martial Soul so late.
As everyone knew, Spirit Hall specifically helped every six-year-old child awaken their Martial Soul. It should not have been delayed until the age of twelve!
Could it be that she had been unable to awaken it before, only succeeding at twelve?
Such cases were not unheard of, but the odds were very low. He had not expected one to happen right in front of him.
"Child... what is your Martial Soul? What is your name?"
"My name is Chen Qingling. My Martial Soul is the Light Goddess Butterfly."
"Light Goddess Butterfly? Is it a new Martial Soul?"
"Could you display your Martial Soul?"
Chen Qingling nodded slightly. "Sure."
A pair of dazzlingly multicolored wings grew from Chen Qingling's back, breathtakingly beautiful.
Su Yuntao stared in a daze. "So beautiful."
When he came back to his senses, he took a deep breath. "From the looks of it, your Martial Soul is a Beast Martial Soul."
"I wonder if you would be willing to join Spirit Hall?"
Although she had only awakened her Martial Soul at twelve, she possessed Innate Full Soul Power. Her talent was certainly not poor, and given time, she would surely become a renowned figure.
Join Spirit Hall?
Chen Qingling shook her head and rejected him without a second thought. "I don't want to be bound by any faction, so I can't join Spirit Hall."
Su Yuntao fell silent for a moment, then let out a long sigh. "Alright."
"If you ever need help, you can come to Spirit Hall and find me, Su Yuntao. I'll do everything I can to help you."
"I'd like to ask Deacon Su Yuntao to issue me a certificate. I want to enroll in Notting Academy."
Su Yuntao nodded repeatedly. "Alright, alright, alright. Wait here. I'll issue it for you right away."
It was no small loss that he could not recruit her into Spirit Hall, but earning her gratitude was better than nothing.
"Who is it, rushing about so recklessly without the slightest bearing of a deacon?" An elderly voice sounded from outside the room.
An old man strolled in casually. "So it's you, Yuntao. You're always so reckless. Don't you know that a soul master must calm their mind to achieve anything?"
Su Yuntao looked helpless as he explained, "Master Mashuno, I wasn't being reckless. This child startled me."
"Oh?"
The old man called Mashuno could not help looking at Chen Qingling. Her appearance was delicate, her features refined. She did not look like someone born and raised in Notting City.
Su Yuntao immediately went over to Master Mashuno's side and whispered, recounting everything that had just happened in full detail.
Master Mashuno's eyes widened, and he could not help giving Chen Qingling several more looks.
"Yuntao, hurry up and issue her certificate."
"Ah, right, right, right."
Su Yuntao hurried out of the room. He returned shortly afterward, holding a Spirit Hall Identification Certificate, which he handed to Chen Qingling.
"Thank you."
Chen Qingling thanked him, took the Spirit Hall Identification Certificate, and left.
With the Spirit Hall Identification Certificate, she could enroll in Notting Academy without issue.
Although she was slightly older than usual, surely they would not reject a student with Innate Full Soul Power.
After Chen Qingling left, Su Yuntao watched her departing figure and muttered to himself.
"That was really strange."
"What's so strange about it?"
"Is Innate Full Soul Power that common? I've already encountered two of them."
"Two people with Innate Full Soul Power? Oh, I remember now. The Tang San you mentioned, who awakened the useless Martial Soul Blue Silver Grass."
"Yeah. Both people with Innate Full Soul Power went to Notting Academy. I wonder what kind of sparks they'll create."
Master Mashuno smiled and shook his head. "Sigh, this is an era for young people. I can no longer keep up."
"But there is one thing worth celebrating. Our Notting City will have a fine tale to tell—two geniuses with Innate Full Soul Power emerged from here."
Su Yuntao nodded in agreement. "Yeah. Notting City is such a small place, yet it produced two people with Innate Full Soul Power."
"I think more highly of Chen Qingling. She has a new Martial Soul, and it isn't a useless one. Her future is limitless."
After leaving Spirit Hall, Chen Qingling casually asked a passerby for directions to Notting Academy and hurried there without stopping.
The sooner she joined Notting Academy, the sooner Chen Qingling could put her mind at ease.
The gears of fate belonging to her had begun to turn.
