Awakening His Martial Soul, Innate Full Soul Power!

"Thank you, Sister Tao."

After wolfing down the grilled fish in a few bites, Su Wen finally realized he had been rude. He scratched his head and said, looking a little embarrassed.

"Here, there's more. If it's not enough, keep eating."

Ma Xiaotao did not mind. She still had several skewers pinched between her slender, delicate fingers, and she stuffed them over without the slightest concern.

A few minutes later.

"Mm-mm... enough, enough."

Su Wen patted his stomach and lay on the ground with a look of complete satisfaction.

"Thank you, Sister Tao..."

This time, he meant it from the heart.

Originally, he had felt nothing toward Ma Xiaotao from the Original Work. At most, his impression of her was that she was all chest and no brains, stubborn, and short-tempered. But now that he was standing in the position of someone she had saved, his impression of her had improved quite a bit.

"Sigh, kid, have you awakened your martial soul yet?"

Ma Xiaotao raised her fine brows slightly and studied Su Wen with great interest.

Having no soul power meant one of two things.

One, he had awakened a trash martial soul and failed to sense any soul power.

Two, he had not awakened his martial soul yet.

"I haven't awakened it." Su Wen shook his head.

Ma Xiaotao propped up her fragrant cheek, and a gleam flashed through her beautiful eyes.

"Since you haven't awakened your martial soul, why not give it a try? What if you awaken with five or six ranks of Innate Soul Power? When that happens, Sister Tao will guarantee your admission to Shrek Academy!"

"Do you really think everyone's like you, born with Rank Nine Innate Soul Power?"

A handsome young man of eighteen or nineteen, dressed in the red and white uniform of Shrek's Inner Courtyard, shook his head helplessly and casually handed over a few crystals. "Here, kid. I just happen to have awakening stones on me, so you can give it a try. As long as you have Innate Rank Four or higher, plus Xiaotao's internal recommendation, you'll be qualified to enter Shrek Academy."

"Thank you," Su Wen said gratefully.

As everyone knew, transmigrating into Douluo Dalu 2 was a disaster-level start if you were not part of the nobility—because there was no Spirit Hall to help commoners awaken their martial souls for free, not to mention he was still an unregistered person...

He vaguely remembered that this person was called Zhang Yi. He was quite strong within the team, and his martial soul seemed to be related to the wood element. Earlier, with just a casual wave of his hand, he had raised a wooden house from the ground, a three-bedroom-and-one-living-room technique. His strength was roughly at the Soul Sage level.

Seeing the latter wave his hand casually with an indifferent expression, Su Wen knew that if not for Ma Xiaotao's sake, the man probably would not have wasted many words on him.

When away from home, being more guarded was the normal state. A silly, adorably simple girl like Ma Xiaotao was the rare one.

"Come in."

As she spoke, Ma Xiaotao finished laying out the awakening formation and beckoned to Su Wen.

"Okay..."

Su Wen took a deep breath.

The commotion here was also noticed by the Shrek Inner Courtyard members at the camp not far away, and they all cast their gazes over. They were bored anyway, so they might as well watch the excitement.

As for whether Su Wen could truly awaken five or six ranks of Innate Soul Power as Ma Xiaotao said, naturally, few people believed it.

One had to know that with five or six ranks of Innate Soul Power, one's future achievements would at least begin at the Soul Sage level. If it reached Rank Seven, then becoming a Titled Douluo would be practically guaranteed.

Most of the people present had only awakened with six or seven ranks of Innate Soul Power themselves.

After all, ten thousand years later, there were far more treasures that could improve talent, and things like the so-called Mysterious Heaven Skill were no longer considered rare.

There was no mockery in everyone's expressions, only curiosity as they enjoyed the show.

"Buzz..."

As Su Wen stepped into the formation, a golden Light Screen surged out from the hexagram array and enveloped him within.

A few seconds later.

Under dozens of gazes.

A white ball lay quietly in Su Wen's palm.

"A trash martial soul?" Zhang Yi said calmly.

Many people looked away. It was obvious, and there was no need to even talk about the soul power awakening afterward.

After all, truly top-tier martial souls were accompanied by phenomena of heaven and earth when they first awakened.

Su Wen, on the other hand, stood frozen in place.

Only the awakened person knew what their martial soul was.

And the information fed back to him was that this white ball was absolutely not a trash martial soul. It was a Pokeball! Something used to catch pets!

According to the information he had obtained, there were ten Soul Rings in total. Every time he absorbed a Soul Ring, he would obtain a Pokeball capable of capturing Soul Beasts of different ages! In other words, if he advanced to godhood, he could obtain at least ten Pokeballs!

In an instant, Su Wen thought of the Silver Dragon King who was currently recuperating in the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest. If he could capture her, would the style of the future become—Go, Silver Dragon King, one hundred thousand Elemental Tide... ah, ptooey.

And the reason the ball was white was also because the age of the first Soul Ring was ten years old (white)! In other words, this Pokeball could only capture Soul Beasts with a ten-year age and could not capture hundred-year ones...

There was no way around it; he had no choice for his first Soul Ring.

The corner of Su Wen's mouth twitched.

Forget it. Ten years it was, then.

Su Wen forcefully suppressed the joy in his heart. After all, from this, it was highly likely that he had Innate Full Soul Power.

He already had his first Soul Ring. How could he not have full soul power?

"Do we still need to test?" Zhang Yi asked leisurely, his arms folded across his chest.

"Yes!" Before Su Wen could answer, Ma Xiaotao took a deep breath and said, "Give me the crystal ball!"

Zhang Yi shrugged and casually tossed over a crystal ball.

"Put your hand on it."

Ma Xiaotao narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly.

"Got it." Su Wen wasted no words and hurriedly did as told, afraid that if even one more second passed, some accident would happen and this genius with max-level soul power would be lost in the vast sea of people.

Buzz!

And in the next instant.

A dazzling light surged out from the crystal ball, covering the firelight across the entire camp and swallowing Su Wen, Ma Xiaotao, and the dumbfounded Zhang Yi...

A few seconds later.

When the light dimmed.

As Su Wen opened his eyes again, a pretty face was very close to his, as if she were examining some rare treasure. For an instant, he nearly kissed her. He instinctively took a step back, only to bump into something soft, and a pair of jade-like arms steadied him so he would not fall.

He looked back and saw it was Zhang Lexuan, her face full of astonishment.

And all around them, a circle of Shrek Inner Courtyard Disciples had already gathered, each wearing a different expression.

"Wow! Innate Full Soul Power!" Ma Xiaotao excitedly hugged Su Wen tightly to her chest and jumped up in delight.

"See? I told you! The little brother I took in could never be mediocre!"

"You actually fucking guessed right." Zhang Yi looked as if he were doubting his life. He glanced around, seemingly wanting to see if there were any other children with unawakened martial souls he could pick up.

"I'll go notify Xuan Zi!" Zhang Lexuan's figure vanished in an instant.

The people around them also cast friendly looks his way.

They tried to get closer to him.

After all, everyone knew how rare Innate Full Soul Power was. As for the so-called "trash martial soul," it was most likely simply that its brilliance had yet to be unearthed. After all, throughout history, which existence with Innate Full Soul Power had failed to leave their name in the annals?

Especially Tang San, the ancestor from Ten Thousand Years Ago who had been overlooked by Spirit Hall because of his "trash martial soul"—he proved all of this even more.

There were no fools in Shrek's Inner Courtyard. Naturally, they knew that as long as Su Wen did not die young, his future potential would be terrifying.

Su Wen felt the faint fragrance drifting into his nose and the soft warmth surrounding his whole body, but he was somewhat suffocated. This body had been weak to begin with, and even though he had just awakened his martial soul, he nearly fainted.

Fortunately, Ma Xiaotao noticed in time and let go of Su Wen, somewhat embarrassed.
