Seeing that it was his turn, Lin Hao stepped forward and entered the martial soul awakening formation.
Then he closed his eyes.
Outside the martial soul awakening formation, Yu Xiaogang rapidly moved his hands, sending streams of soul power into the six black stones.
In an instant, a hazy golden light blossomed, enveloping Lin Hao.
At the same time, an endless stream of golden motes drifted out of the six black stones and poured into Lin Hao's body.
Lin Hao felt waves of warmth flooding into him, flowing through every limb and bone.
Dimly, Lin Hao seemed to sense the martial soul within him.
"Could there finally be hope?"
Beside him, Yu Xiaogang saw Lin Hao absorbing a great number of golden motes, and a flash of excitement crossed his eyes.
According to the rules of martial soul awakening on the Douluo Continent.
The more golden motes someone absorbed during their awakening, the higher the quality of their martial soul tended to be, and the greater their innate soul power.
Could he, Yu Xiaogang, finally be getting lucky this time?!
At last, after Lin Hao stopped absorbing the golden motes.
With a tremor in his voice, Yu Xiaogang immediately commanded in a dry, hoarse tone.
"Summon your martial soul!"
Hearing this, Lin Hao opened his eyes and extended his right hand.
Amid a burst of dazzling golden light.
An enormous flower appeared, its petals a magnificent purple, each one looking soft and velvety.
The stamens at its center rose more than half a foot above the petals.
With a faint golden glow shimmering at the tips of its stamens, the chrysanthemum martial soul quietly materialized.
"This is..."
When Yu Xiaogang saw the chrysanthemum martial soul in Lin Hao's hand, his eyes widened, and excitement surged within him.
He happened to recognize this chrysanthemum martial soul!
Wasn't this Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan's martial soul, the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum?
Since Yue Guan had become a Titled Douluo, his innate soul power had to have been at least rank eight!
This genius had rank-eight innate soul power, and his martial soul was even the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.
As long as I can take him as my disciple and follow Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan's path of development.
Have this child absorb soul rings and help him break through to the Titled Douluo realm.
Then I, Yu Xiaogang, will have raised a Titled Douluo.
Who would still dare say that I, Yu Xiaogang, am not a true Grandmaster?!
Yu Xiaogang hurriedly picked up the deep-blue soul power crystal ball from the nearby table and handed it to Lin Hao. Suppressing his excitement, he said solemnly.
"Child, come test your soul power!"
At that moment, Lin Hao was also stunned by the chrysanthemum martial soul in his hand.
Why did my chrysanthemum martial soul look so much like the immortal herb martial soul from the novel-the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum that Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan had?
Still in shock, Lin Hao heard Yu Xiaogang's words and placed his hand on the deep-blue crystal ball.
In an instant, a dazzling deep-blue light burst forth, illuminating the room.
"This is... innate full soul power! Innate full soul power!"
Yu Xiaogang had never expected Lin Hao's Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum martial soul to possess innate full soul power.
He was beside himself with excitement. Clenching his fists, he fought to keep the corners of his mouth from curling upward, itching to throw back his head and laugh three times.
I, Yu Xiaogang, have finally turned my luck around!
To think this backwater countryside would produce a Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum martial soul with innate full soul power.
With how foolish and ignorant these country folk are, all I need to do is spin a little tale.
This child will immediately bow to me as his master!
Nearby, since Lin Hao was the children's leader, the children who had finished awakening their martial souls had not left. They were all gathered inside, waiting to see what his martial soul would be.
When they discovered that Lin Hao's chrysanthemum martial soul not only possessed soul power, but innate full soul power at that.
Cries of shock and excitement immediately rose one after another.
"As expected of Boss Lin Hao! Not only does he have soul power, he has innate full soul power!"
"Boss Lin Hao is amazing!"
"Our Golden Chrysanthemum Village is going to have a soul master!"
Meanwhile, Yu Xiaogang soon gathered his words. Once his excitement subsided, he furrowed his brow, let a trace of regret show in his eyes, and heaved a long sigh.
"Innate full soul power. What an exceptional gift!"
"But child, your martial soul is a flower. It has no offensive power at all and is barely better than a trash martial soul!"
"I'm afraid it will be very difficult for you to become a powerhouse."
"What a pity! Such a pity!"
Hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Lin Hao froze, an odd look entering his eyes.
Wait! What is Gangzi talking about?!
It's not as if you've never lived in Spirit City. How could you possibly fail to recognize my Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum martial soul?
Even if you don't recognize it.
Isn't Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan's martial soul a chrysanthemum too?
Didn't he become a powerhouse all the same?
Calling my Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum a trash martial soul-what are you trying to do?!
Pull the wool over my eyes?!
"My martial soul has no offensive power, so it'll be difficult for me to become a powerhouse?"
Hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Lin Hao feigned a hint of disappointment, but soon appeared to console himself and said.
"But that's all right!"
"With innate full soul power, I only need to absorb one soul ring to become a soul master!"
"Once I become a soul master, I can collect a monthly allowance of one Gold Soul Coin. That's pretty good too!"
Seeing that Lin Hao showed no urgency at all and did not ask him what to do, instead apparently deciding to simply muddle through life.
Yu Xiaogang's mouth twitched. Feeling that Lin Hao was completely ignoring his script, he hurriedly changed tack. Clasping his hands behind his back, he put on an air of pride and continued.
"However, that isn't absolute!"
"Under the guidance of a mediocre teacher, your chrysanthemum martial soul might indeed make it difficult for you to become a powerhouse."
"But allow me to introduce myself. My name is Yu Xiaogang, and in the Soul Master World, I am known as a Grandmaster of martial soul theory."
"I once proposed two major martial soul theories: the ten core competencies of martial soul and the soul ring absorption limit. Both have been widely acclaimed."
"In martial soul theory, if I claim second place in the Soul Master World, no one dares claim first."
"As long as you take me as your master and follow my arrangements and plans when choosing soul beasts to hunt and soul rings to absorb."
"You will surely become a great powerhouse in the future!"
After saying this, Yu Xiaogang let a trace of pride show in his eyes and waited for Lin Hao to accept him as his master.
After listening to Yu Xiaogang, Lin Hao was utterly speechless.
Just as I thought!
Gangzi wants to manipulate me and use this opportunity to take me as his disciple!
But as a transmigrator, Lin Hao was no Tang San. Yu Xiaogang had not fooled him in the slightest.
His martial soul was the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum. Simply going to Spirit City would be enough for Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan to take him as a disciple.
That man was a Titled Douluo, and he even had the same martial soul.
Wouldn't his guidance and advice be far better than anything this useless Gangzi could offer?!
However, as a transmigrator, Lin Hao had no intention of following Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan's path and developing his Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum martial soul toward the power attack system.
Just as everyone in his previous life had considered Yu Xiaogang's approach to cultivating Luo Sanpao completely wrong.
Lin Hao likewise believed that Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan's cultivation path for the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum martial soul was completely wrong!
After all, the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum was an immortal herb. It could be eaten!
It could be called the finest food-type martial soul in the world!
Moreover, consuming the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum could circulate qi through the limbs and blood through the eight meridians, allowing one to cultivate an indestructible diamond body!
Although Dai Mubai had not achieved such an effect after consuming the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum in the original story.
In Lin Hao's view.
If he developed the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum martial soul in the direction of the Food System and consumed it continuously over a long period, he could surely forge an immensely powerful body and attain an indestructible diamond body!
His physical prowess would rival that of soul masters with top-tier body martial souls at the same rank!
Furthermore, as a transmigrator, Lin Hao knew that after Oscar's sausage martial soul absorbed a Mirror Shadow Beast's soul ring, he gained a Food System soul skill that could copy other soul masters' soul skills.
As long as he also absorbed a Mirror Shadow Beast's soul ring in the future.
With the quality of his Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum martial soul and innate full soul power, he would surely obtain a similar soul skill-perhaps one with even stronger effects!
Then he could use that copying soul skill to create Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemums capable of copying others' abilities.
Combined with the indestructible diamond body and terrifying physical prowess he would gain from consuming his Food System Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum martial soul over a long period.
Those two advantages together would make him nothing short of invincible!
