Special Compass Martial Soul

Si Tingxuan was curious and could not help asking, "But what?"

Dragon Duke said, "Her parents had both passed away. At home, she had an elderly grandmother bedridden with illness, as well as a three- or four-year-old younger sister. Everyone who tried to recruit her, myself included, told her that specialists would be assigned to care for the old woman and her sister."

"But she said that no matter how well we cared for them, it could not replace the joy of having a granddaughter by her grandmother's side. Nor could it replace the family bond of having an older sister nearby."

"I then said that we could bring the old woman and her sister to Dragon Snake Manor with her."

"She said, what elderly person would be willing to leave their hometown? She also said that whether she became strong was not important. What mattered was that the family stayed together happily. Their life might be a little plain, but it was filled with joy and happiness."

"She left me completely speechless."

As he said this, admiration appeared on his face.

He was a grandfather himself. Who would not want such a well-behaved, sensible, and filial granddaughter in their family?

However, the members of the Oriental Family clearly did not see it that way. Their expressions were strange.

Spirit Hall, the two great empires, Dragon Snake Manor—joining any one of them would allow her to soar and change her life. In the future, she would undoubtedly become someone with power and influence.

It was not as if they had said they would not care for her grandmother and sister. Rejecting them was simply too foolish.

Different people saw the matter differently, and everyone had their own opinion.

Si Tingxuan stood there in a daze after hearing this.

He was deeply moved.

This child was only fifteen, wasn't she?

In his previous life, fifteen-year-olds were still in school.

Yet this child was already supporting her family.

And she saw life with such clarity!

Yes!

What was wrong with having a quieter life?

What was wrong with a family living happily together?

The elderly needed the companionship of their children and grandchildren most. Who did not understand that?

Yet in the materialistic world of his previous life, how many people could truly accomplish that?

After earning one million, they wanted ten million, then a hundred million.

There was never an end to it!

They simply had no time to care for the elderly! Some even sent them straight to nursing homes, seeing them only a few times a year, or even once every few years.

For the elderly, no matter how good the nursing home was or how much money was spent, how could it compare to having their children and grandchildren by their side?

Of course, most people had hardships they could not avoid. But that did not change the fact that this was a tragedy for society as a whole.

Admiration also appeared in Si Tingxuan's eyes.

It had to be said, Qin Yue not only had great talent, but also an exceptionally sound outlook on life!

She not only met the system's standards, but also his own standards!

He was beyond satisfied!

Si Tingxuan immediately said to Dragon Duke, "Dragon Duke, could you tell me exactly where she is? This child is completely to my liking."

Dragon Duke smiled at that. He admired the child greatly as well.

Naturally, he would be delighted if Si Tingxuan could truly take her in. Then she and Yiran would become fellow disciples and teammates in the future, which could be considered compensation for his regret at failing to recruit her.

So he immediately said, "The place where she is is easy to find. It is in the largest border city of our Baroque Kingdom."

"Linji Border Fortress?"

Si Tingxuan immediately thought of the place Dragon Duke meant.

Dragon Duke said, "That's right, Linji Border Fortress!"

"Linji Border Fortress?"

Snake Granny smiled from the side.

The moment she spoke, everyone's attention was drawn to her, and they could not help looking over.

She immediately said, "The Bai Jingjing I mentioned earlier happens to be on the road from here to Linji Border Fortress."

"Such a coincidence?"

Si Tingxuan's eyes lit up! He was also looking forward to the Compass Martial Soul.

Even without a system mission, he would be more than willing to take her in.

Snake Granny said, "Honestly, if she were merely an ordinary Innate Level Seven, I would not have brought her up to you. Bai Jingjing's Compass Martial Soul is extremely strange. Even this old woman was led astray by it several times without realizing it."

"I actually got lost in Bai Manor and wandered around for half a day!"

"Bai Manor?"

Si Tingxuan was surprised. Bai Manor's status in the Baroque Kingdom was second only to Dragon Duke and Snake Granny's Dragon Snake Manor.

That was because their family head was a Soul Douluo.

He was one of the strongest experts in the entire Baroque Kingdom.

But after thinking for a moment, he added, "If I remember correctly, from what you just said, this Bai Jingjing is only a Two-Ring Great Soul Master, and she is only fourteen!"

"She was able to make you fall for it and get lost?"

Si Tingxuan had doubts about this.

Snake Granny was a six-ring Soul Emperor. With such a vast gap in strength between them, how could Snake Granny possibly fall victim to it?

Snake Granny smiled. "That is what makes her Martial Soul special. Her Martial Soul is a compass, and once her soul skill is activated, it can make people lose their sense of direction."

"Ah? That's it?"

Si Tingxuan was not the only one listening seriously. Everyone present, especially the younger ones, was stunned.

Meng Yiran looked particularly surprised.

In her view, it had no offensive power. What did losing one's sense of direction matter?

Besides, during battle, the opponent was right in front of you. What could losing your sense of direction do?

It was not as if she were blind!

Dragon Duke glanced at her. "Can you change that temperament of yours? Since your grandmother brought it up, it naturally cannot be only that. Be more composed!"

Meng Yiran shrank back, lowered her head, and stuck out her tongue.

She was still somewhat afraid of her stern-faced grandfather, especially when he was lecturing her.

Snake Granny said, "Your grandfather is right. Be more composed in the future. Bai Jingjing can not only make people lose their sense of direction, but even their soul skills will lose their sense of direction!"

"The soul skills you unleash will always head south."

Meng Yiran abruptly raised her head and looked at Snake Granny in shock. "Grandmother, what do you mean by that?"

Si Tingxuan's pupils contracted slightly. "You mean that no matter which direction the opponent aims their soul skill, once it is unleashed, it will be forcibly redirected toward the south?"

Snake Granny nodded.

"Ah?!"

Meng Yiran, Hua Qingluo, Yun Piaopiao, and Long Wu were all so shocked that they were rendered speechless.

Even they understood the terrifying strength of this soul skill.

Once the soul skill was activated, as long as you were not standing south of her, your soul skills would never be able to threaten her.

She was practically undefeated!

She was virtually invincible!

How the hell could anyone fight her?

Facing her as an opponent would probably be frustrating enough to make one cough up blood.

Si Tingxuan's expression changed. He was somewhat alarmed as well.

This soul skill was truly rather heaven-defying.

But he quickly came to his senses and shook his head. "This soul skill is powerful, but its restrictions must be severe, right? Otherwise, she would not only have Innate Level Seven soul power. Calling it Innate Full Soul Power would be normal."

Although soul skills were acquired later by hunting soul beasts,

the power of a soul skill was still related to the strength of one's Martial Soul.

Those with weaker Martial Souls who obtained powerful soul skills generally faced restrictions.

The greater the disparity between a soul skill and the Martial Soul's strength, the stronger the restrictions.

It was like a computer with poor hardware being unable to run a large game.

Snake Granny nodded. "I suspect there are extremely strong restrictions, but that is her secret. As an outsider, there is no way for me to know. However, even if the restrictions are severe, it does not negate the power of this soul skill."
