Undergoing Martial Soul Awakening

Old Jack pushed the door open, and suddenly a dark shadow darted behind him. By the time he reacted, he found he had already been tied up with rope.

Old Jack turned his head and looked, then said angrily, "Xiao Yu, what are you doing?"

"Grandpa Jack, just stay at home for a while. I'm going to take part in the awakening ceremony, and I'll be back soon."

Old Jack's expression changed slightly, and he urged anxiously, "Don't go! You brat, are you trying to make me die of anger?"

Ye Yu turned and slipped away. No matter what life-or-death threats Old Jack shouted, Ye Yu acted as if he hadn't heard them.

Looking at Ye Yu, who had already vanished at the end of his sight, Old Jack sighed helplessly. "Ah, in the end, I still couldn't stop him."

Old Jack's face was full of self-reproach. "Your instructions back then were for me not to let him awaken his martial soul in the future, and to let him live out his life as an ordinary person. Now I failed to stop him. I'm sorry. Ah..."

Old Jack was utterly helpless. As for whether Ye Yu would possess Soul Power, Old Jack felt certain he would. After all, his mother...

Soon, Ye Yu arrived at the Spirit Hall in the center of the village.

Its name sounded like a hall, but in truth, it was just a somewhat larger wooden house. This Spirit Hall was only a branch hall, and Spirit Halls like this were spread across every place on the continent.

At this moment, eight children had already gathered here, along with a young man and a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was the village's Deputy Village Chief. Old Jack had asked him to receive the soul master here for now.

The young man looked to be in his twenties, with sharp brows and bright eyes, and he was handsome. He wore white brocade clothes, with a black cloak behind him, and at the very center of his chest was a fist-sized Soul Character.

This kind of attire was the standard outfit for direct personnel of Spirit Hall.

When the Deputy Village Chief saw Ye Yu arrive, he asked, "Where is the village chief?"

"Grandpa accidentally took a fall just now and can't walk right now, so he told you to decide." Ye Yu casually made up an excuse.

The Deputy Village Chief nodded, walked up to the young man, and respectfully gave him a bow.

"Honored Battle Soul Master, please begin now. We'll have to trouble you."

The young man clasped his hands behind his back, pride showing between his brows, and nodded slightly in response.

The Deputy Village Chief introduced him excitedly. "Children, this is the Battle Soul Master from Nuoding City! A level twenty-six Soul Grandmaster!"

As soon as the Deputy Village Chief finished speaking, the children's eyes all lit up, filled with worship. At once, the young man's face lifted a little more.

Tang San already knew the realms of soul masters: Soul Warrior, soul master, Soul Grandmaster, Soul Elder, Soul Ancestor, Soul King, Soul Emperor, Soul Sage, Soul Douluo, Titled Douluo.

Each title was divided into ten levels. Those who had just entered the path were Soul Warriors, and when their Soul Power reached level eleven, they would enter the next title, soul master.

Old Jack had told him that once someone reached the Soul Grandmaster realm, they could already be considered quite a powerful soul master. So when Tang San looked at the young man, a little curiosity also showed in his eyes. On the other hand, only Ye Yu's expression remained unchanged.

The young man naturally noticed it. All the children were either showing worship or curiosity, but only this child was unmoved.

The Deputy Village Chief naturally noticed as well. He gave a light cough and said, "Xiao Yu, this is an honored Soul Grandmaster, with extremely strong power. Aren't you excited after hearing that?"

Ye Yu shook his head, making the Deputy Village Chief a little embarrassed, and he looked uneasily toward the young man.

The young man smiled faintly and said, "It's fine. Things like this happen occasionally. Every now and then, in small places, I run into children with limited experience who don't understand what kind of existence a Soul Grandmaster is, so they naturally won't be that excited."

The Deputy Village Chief gave an awkward smile and nodded repeatedly. "Yes, yes."

However, Ye Yu was not inexperienced. He truly wasn't excited.

Ye Yu ranted inwardly, You're already in your twenties and only a Soul Grandmaster. What do you have to be proud of? Other people in their twenties have already become gods.

Ye Yu had finished reading the entire Douluo series. Tang San had become a god in his twenties, so someone who was only a Soul Grandmaster in his twenties really couldn't make him excited.

The young man wanted to finish as quickly as possible. He had already taken part in the awakening ceremonies of six villages, and not a single person with Soul Power had appeared. In a place like this, one would almost never appear, so he wanted to finish early and leave.

It was very difficult for ordinary people to become soul masters. Only the inheritors of the major sects could become soul masters easily.

The children stood in a row, starting from left to right.

The young man introduced himself. "My name is Su Yuntao. I will now perform Martial Soul Awakening for you. No matter what happens in a moment, don't be afraid."

Su Yuntao took out the awakening items he had prepared: six pitch-black round stones and a Blue Crystal Ball. He arranged the six round stones on the ground into a hexagon, then signaled for the first child to stand inside.

After the child stepped in, Su Yuntao said, "Close your eyes and carefully feel it."

"Ha!"

With a low shout from Su Yuntao, two soul rings rose around him, one white and one yellow.

"Lone Wolf, possession!"

Su Yuntao's originally black hair turned gray, gray fur also grew on his hands, and his body swelled by a few degrees. His entire person looked much stronger, his whole body filled with a sense of muscle.

Ye Yu looked at Su Yuntao's martial soul and mocked inwardly, Single dog is single dog. Calling it Lone Wolf...

The other children were startled when they saw it and retreated several steps, but very soon, their eyes shone, filled with worship and yearning.

"So this is a martial soul? A Beast Martial Soul."

"Why did two rings of light suddenly appear around him?"

"You really are all hair and no brains. Those aren't rings of light, they're soul rings! They're a Ten Year Soul Ring and a Hundred Year Soul Ring!"

"Wow, so amazing."

The children worshiped him even more.

However, Ye Yu's expression still did not change.

His First Soul Ring was white. That was way too poor.

Ye Yu sighed inwardly. A Soul Grandmaster in his twenties, and his First Soul Ring is still white. He's hopeless.

Su Yuntao's hands struck out rapidly, sending six faint streams of green light into the six round stones. Then golden radiance bloomed from the stones, forming a pale golden barrier of light that enveloped the boy.

Golden sparks drifted continuously from the round stones and entered the boy's body.

Su Yuntao's tone brooked no doubt. "Stretch out your right hand."

The boy subconsciously stretched out his right hand and opened it. A sickle appeared above his palm.

Even if it was a sickle, as long as he had soul power, he could cultivate as a soul master. However, when the boy placed his right hand on the crystal ball, there was no spiritual power.

Su Yuntao was not surprised. This was all too common. He said blandly, "Next."

The Martial Soul Awakening continued one after another.

The next six children all had Waste Martial Souls. One girl's martial soul was Blue Silver Grass, the kind of Waste Martial Soul with no attack, defense, or support ability.

Of the seven children, not one possessed soul power.

Then it was Tang San's turn.

Ye Yu naturally knew everything. Tang San's Martial Soul Awakening would be Blue Silver Grass.

Su Yuntao said helplessly, "Another Waste Martial Soul. Last one."

Tang San reminded him, "Uncle, I haven't had my soul power tested yet."

Su Yuntao shook his head. "No need to test it. It would only waste time. I've never seen anyone with the Waste Martial Soul Blue Silver Grass possess soul power."

Tang San insisted, "Just let me try."

Su Yuntao's duty was to be diligent and thorough; he could not allow any negligence. Seeing Tang San insist so much, he could only nod. "All right. Begin."

Tang San nodded and quickly placed his hand on the Blue Crystal Ball.

In the next second, a scene that stunned everyone except Ye Yu occurred. The entire Blue Crystal Ball burst with dazzling blue light!

Su Yuntao's eyes widened in disbelief. "It's actually... Innate Full Soul Power?!"
