Wang Chen: My Son Has What It Takes to Become a Titled Douluo!

Su Yuntao could hardly believe his ears!

What did this kid mean? This was Spirit Hall—the number one power on the continent, the sacred land of cultivation every Soul Master dreamed of! Ordinary people would fight tooth and nail for a chance to join Spirit Hall. He had thought the boy would eagerly nod in agreement, but instead, he had refused without the slightest hesitation!

Su Yuntao: This world suddenly feels so unfamiliar...

"Child, perhaps you don't know just how powerful Spirit Hall is! Take your uncle here, for example. My Innate Soul Power was only level two, and I'm merely a two-ringed Soul Grandmaster, yet even so, I still receive a full twenty Gold Soul Coins every month..."

Su Yuntao truly did not want to miss a genius with Twin Martial Souls and Innate Full Soul Power. He had hoped to recruit Wang Tianyi into Spirit Hall, render great service, become the master of a Spirit Hall Branch, and marry the Sisi of his dreams!

Su Yuntao practically talked himself hoarse, but Wang Tianyi remained utterly uninterested. He felt helpless, but then he considered that perhaps Wang Tianyi simply did not understand Spirit Hall's true value. If he spoke with Wang Chen instead, that Soul Elder of common birth would surely be more than willing to send his son to Spirit Hall.

With that thought, Su Yuntao regained some confidence. He stopped trying to persuade Wang Tianyi and continued awakening the Martial Souls of the remaining children.

The awakening ceremony soon ended. Among the remaining children, there was another little genius with level four Innate Soul Power. But Su Yuntao's mind was entirely on Wang Tianyi. Compared with Innate Full Soul Power and Twin Martial Souls, level four Innate Soul Power was simply not worth mentioning.

After the ceremony, the children left the Spirit Hall Branch, some dispirited and others beaming with joy. A group of anxious parents waited outside, including Wang Chen.

Su Yuntao followed closely behind Wang Tianyi. Watching him reveal his childish side and run all the way over, Su Yuntao secretly resolved that he had to win this genius over!

However, Wang Chen seemed not to notice him at all. The veteran Soul Elder's attention was wholly fixed on his son.

"Tianyi, how did it go?"

Seeing the smile on Wang Tianyi's face, Wang Chen had already vaguely guessed that his son had Soul Power.

"Mom, it's him! That person has two Martial Souls, and Lord Soul Master said he has Innate Full Soul Power!"

Before Wang Tianyi could react, a little girl beside him told her mother about the spectacle from earlier. Instantly, everyone fell silent. Their eyes widened as they looked at Wang Tianyi with envy and respect. Innate Full Soul Power meant that his Soul Power had already reached level ten. He was a genius among geniuses, destined to become a powerful Soul Master in the future. Many of them were seeing Wang Tianyi for the first time, but they knew this might also be the last.

The gap in Soul Power was like an insurmountable mountain. People like them, who possessed no Innate Soul Power, could never bridge it no matter how hard they worked.

The parents began praising him one after another, while Wang Chen stood completely stunned. His mind buzzed, and his heart pounded twice as fast as usual! Back then, he had taken in the pitiful child because he had no descendants of his own. Yet who could have imagined that the child he had picked up would be a peerless genius with Twin Martial Souls and level ten Innate Soul Power!

"Tianyi, is what they said true?"

Wang Chen scooped Wang Tianyi into his arms, his voice trembling and broken. When he saw Wang Tianyi nod, the veteran Soul Elder could not hold back his tears!

"My son... my son has what it takes to become a Titled Douluo! Hahahaha! The Wang Family has produced a genius!"

Wang Chen laughed loudly. Holding Wang Tianyi around the waist with both hands, he swung his son through the air like an airplane and ran happily toward their martial arts school. He completely ignored Su Yuntao's cries behind him, as well as his stiff, outstretched attempt to stop them.

How could Wang Chen not be excited? As a Soul Master, he understood better than anyone how important Innate Soul Power was to a Soul Master! To say nothing else, back when he attended Soul Master Academy, one of his classmates had possessed only one more level of Innate Soul Power than he did, yet that person's cultivation speed had far surpassed his own! He had once thought that if his son had no Soul Power, Wang Tianyi could simply remain in Notting City. The savings he had accumulated over the years would be enough for Wang Tianyi to live comfortably for the rest of his life. But now, it seemed—

His son was destined to embark on the path of a Soul Master! And he would become the brightest star of them all in the future!

Feeling his adoptive father's joy, Wang Tianyi smiled as well. At this moment, his path as a Soul Master had finally begun...

That night.

For once, Wang Chen drank several cups of wine. With reddened eyes, he spoke endlessly to Wang Tianyi about his past. Yet unlike before, this time Wang Chen spoke only of the dangers that lay upon the path of a Soul Master.

His strength was not particularly great. If not for a fortunate opportunity, he would never have broken through to the Soul Elder realm in his lifetime. But he had spent many years in the world of Soul Masters and possessed abundant experience.

"My son, the path of a Soul Master is fraught with danger. You must be careful at all times! I've already sent that Soul Grandmaster Su Yuntao away. Your father isn't particularly capable and can't give you much advice. If you don't wish to join Spirit Hall, I won't force you. But promise me this: you must become a man who stands tall between heaven and earth!"

Martial artists were naturally forthright, yet Wang Chen had become unusually talkative. Being observant, he had already noticed that after awakening his Martial Soul, his son had undergone a complete transformation. His physical strength was now comparable to that of an ordinary Soul Master. Wang Chen assumed this was because of Innate Soul Power, but only Wang Tianyi knew that it came from his Martial Soul.

How could the power of a Transcendent God-Tier Martial Soul amount to only that? Innate divine strength, extraordinary comprehension... talents that ordinary people considered supreme were hardly worth mentioning for Wang Tianyi. At the moment his Martial Soul awakened, Wang Tianyi had already become the most exceptional genius on this continent. Yet what troubled him was that the two divine ape figures in his mind were constantly fighting. His soul was being battered every moment, causing unbearable pain.

But he could not reveal such a thing before his adoptive father.

The existence of the system, the origin of his Martial Souls—these things could only remain secrets forever.

"My son, you can't be lazy starting tomorrow. Your body has already recovered, so tomorrow your father will take you to hunt your first Soul Ring!"

Although Wang Chen's Soul Ring configuration was one white and two yellow, he was still a Soul Elder! He could take on ten Xiao Gangs by himself. His combat strength was unquestionable. A thousand-year soul beast would pose no problem, and hunting Wang Tianyi's first Soul Ring would be more than easy enough.

But that was all he could do.

Late at night, the drunken Wang Chen had already fallen asleep. Wang Tianyi carefully tucked the blanket around him, then quietly crept to a room on the second floor.

Their family ran a martial arts school, so naturally they had a place to store medicinal herbs. Because Wang Tianyi had been physically weak from birth and unable to practice martial arts, he had always studied medicinal theory. By now, he had learned some basic knowledge of medicinal properties.

And his target at this moment was the Whale Rubber stored in the medicinal herb warehouse!
