When Sun Chuantao touched the blue crystal ball and confirmed his awakening of level-eight Soul Power, an old man sitting behind the three deacons could no longer sit still. He hastily stood up, walked over to Sun Chuantao in surprise, and showered him with warm, concerned questions.

Level-eight Innate Soul Power. Breaking through to become a Titled Douluo in the future was not entirely out of the question. As a mere Red Cardinal, he himself would likely be trapped at the Soul Saint level for the rest of his life, but if he could latch onto this coattail, it truly would be a golden opportunity to rise rapidly in the world.

"Little Tao, is anything feeling uncomfortable? If needed, Grandpa can take you to Spirit City first to change into a new set of clothes, and then take you to see His Holiness the Pope."

"I'm not going." Sun Chuantao had been overjoyed for a good while at first because he had awakened level-eight Innate Soul Power, but upon hearing the Red Cardinal's words, he firmly shook his head and stared expectantly at Bai Ranmo. "I want to wait for Big Brother Ranmo to awaken his Martial Soul."

Bai Ranmo, who had stepped into the hexagonal array, was also stunned for a moment, then gave Sun Chuantao a thumbs-up. Good lad, the candies Big Brother usually shares with you weren't given in vain.

"Alright, alright." That Red Cardinal didn't mind Bai Ranmo at all; he was merely someone from the orphanage who had a good relationship with Sun Chuantao, and in a few years, Sun Chuantao would likely forget all about this person.

However...

The Red Cardinal stared at Bai Ranmo's short white hair and blue eyes, feeling an inexplicable sense of lingering fear.

Clearly, even his Martial Soul hadn't awakened yet, but some kind of power seemed to have already gathered within those eyes, making him feel as though he had been seen right through.

Following the guidance of the Soul Elder deacon, Bai Ranmo had six black stones simultaneously emit a light, and golden light suddenly appeared on Bai Ranmo's body.

"Child, extend your hand..." The Soul Elder deacon guided him thus, but what puzzled him was that no Martial Soul appeared on Bai Ranmo's hand, nor were there any changes to his body.

Was this... having no Martial Soul? That shouldn't be. He had never heard of anyone not having a Martial Soul at all.

Puzzled in his heart, the deacon was just about to open his mouth to ask the Red Cardinal nearby when he met the gaze of Bai Ranmo's Azure Eyes.

Bai Ranmo's eyes were naturally blue to begin with, but the blue now was completely different from before, transforming into an azure blue like the sky. These magnificent yet mysterious blue eyes caused the Soul Elder deacon to involuntarily gasp a breath of cold air.

What kind of feeling was that? Palpitations, unease, as if his entire body from top to bottom had been seen completely through.

"Could this be... a Body Martial Soul?"

The Red Cardinal, who had previously paid little mind to Bai Ranmo, blurted out.

"Bishop Grandpa, is the Martial Soul Big Brother Ranmo awakened very powerful?" Sun Chuantao asked with a pleasantly surprised look, even putting on an expression of reflected glory.

"Indeed very powerful..." The Red Cardinal smiled. In truth, he was merely shocked by the rarity of Body Martial Souls.

He didn't think Bai Ranmo's talent would be very high, after all, there weren't any famous Body Martial Soul powerhouses across the entire continent. This pair of eyes probably just looked gorgeous, while their actual effect was likely mediocre, and his Innate Soul Power would probably only be around the level of rank four or five...

Ah, such blinding light, my eyes!

The Soul Elder deacon produced a crystal ball and had Bai Ranmo place his hand upon it to test his Innate Soul Power.

Bai Ranmo gently placed his hand on the blue crystal ball, and the crystal ball seemed to possess a tremendous suction force, devouring the Soul Power that Bai Ranmo could faintly sense.

Simultaneously, the light of the crystal ball in the Soul Elder deacon's hand began to shine. A dazzling blue light went from a mere speck at the start to glowing like a gemstone in less than the span of a single second.

The blue radiance was even brighter than the light when Sun Chuantao had awakened his Martial Soul.

"Innate Full Soul Power!"

Whether it was the deacon before them, the two other deacons currently awakening the other children, or the Red Cardinal, all of them exclaimed in shock.

The Red Cardinal instantly felt that Sun Chuantao was no longer as appealing.

This was Innate Full Soul Power! Martial Souls capable of awakening Innate Full Soul Power were, without exception, extremely formidable, and as long as they didn't suffer an untimely death and had sufficient resources, they would undoubtedly become Titled Douluo.

At the same time, Bai Ranmo also felt strange knowledge pouring into his brain.

It was the foundational ability of the Six Eyes and the application of the Limitless.

Using the Limitless did not necessarily require having the Six Eyes; it was just that after using it for even a minute, one would suffer brain death due to the inability to process the complex information.

The Limitless was like running a game with high frame rates and a massive memory footprint, while the Six Eyes were like a top-tier computer. An ordinary computer would lag severely when playing the game or even crash outright, whereas having the Six Eyes was like having a fully-maxed-out computer, running the game with peerless smoothness.

The appearance of Innate Full Soul Power brought silence to the entire awakening ceremony, followed immediately by waves of exclamations.

"Suspend the awakening ceremony!"

The Red Cardinal eagerly pulled Bai Ranmo over, his voice even gentler than when he had treated Sun Chuantao just moments before: "Innate Full Soul Power, it's actually Innate Full Soul Power... Little friend, your name is Ranmo, right? This old man is going to make rather presumptuous moves next; I'm taking you to see His Holiness the Pope."

Speaking with such eager urgency, the Red Cardinal subconsciously wanted to grab Bai Ranmo with his hand, but he was shocked to discover that the speed of his own hand was actually extraordinarily slow. The distance between his hand and Bai Ranmo was clearly closing all the time, yet the speed kept getting slower and slower, until later it seemed as though it wasn't moving at all.

So this is the Limitless... Awesome! Bai Ranmo sighed inwardly in his heart.

The principle of the Limitless technique was actually not very complicated; it projected the magical infinite series of Achilles and the tortoise paradox into reality—that is, a person is 1 kilometer away from a tortoise, and assuming the person's speed is 10 times that of the tortoise, the person should quickly catch up to the tortoise, but according to the paradox logic, the distance between them will forever decrease at a proportional rate of half.

In plain human terms, your attacks and my distance are forever infinitely close, but no matter how you strike, you simply cannot hit me!

Bai Ranmo actively turned off the Limitless. The Limitless was certainly cool, but unnecessary Soul Power consumption was best avoided.

Only then was the Red Cardinal able to touch him. He wrapped Bai Ranmo in Soul Power and gently levitated Bai Ranmo's entire body. He didn't dwell too much on the situation from just now; delivering the person before His Holiness the Pope was what mattered most right now.

"Ranmo, I'll take you to see His Holiness the Pope next," the Red Cardinal reminded him, unable to wait a moment longer as he prepared to leave.

"Take Sun Chuantao along." Bai Ranmo leisurely spoke.

Sun Chuantao's very first reaction earlier had been to want to wait for him to awaken his Martial Soul, so how could he possibly leave his good brother behind here?

"Hm? Oh, right." The Red Cardinal only then remembered that Sun Chuantao was also a genius with level-eight Innate Soul Power.

Dragging the two of them along, the Red Cardinal unleashed his Martial Soul. Seven top-configuration soul rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black—appeared at his feet, and a pair of eagle wings grew from his back as he flew toward the Pope Hall in the center of Spirit City.

"Big Brother Ranmo, your Martial Soul is so cool!" Sun Chuantao was flying through the sky, and his first reaction was not fright, but curiosity as he looked around in all directions, subsequently praising Bai Ranmo's Six Eyes.

"Indeed." Bai Ranmo showed no false modesty.
