The enormous letdown left Su Yuntao rather disgruntled. He said helplessly, "Next. Let's finish this quickly so I can head to the next village."
"Uncle, you haven't tested my Soul Power yet." Tang San hurried after him and caught the hem of his clothes, reminding him.
Without looking back, Su Yuntao said, "There's no need. In all these years, I've never seen anyone with Soul Power awaken a trash Martial Soul like Blue Silver Grass."
"Let me try. What if I have Soul Power?" Tang San said stubbornly. The warmth that golden light had brought him earlier seemed to have already changed the Mysterious Heaven Skill within his body.
That was also why he insisted on having his Soul Power tested.
"All right. A little more time won't hurt." Seeing how persistent Tang San was, Su Yuntao casually handed him the crystal ball.
Tang San withdrew his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul into his body. The moment his palm touched the blue crystal ball, his body shook violently. A dazzling blue light instantly spread from a tiny point.
In the blink of an eye, the crystal ball shone like a blue luminous pearl, its pale blue glow filling the entire Spirit Hall.
According to the standard test, even the slightest reaction from the crystal ball meant the person being tested possessed Soul Power. There was only one explanation for the dazzling brilliance of the ball before them.
The child before him had innate full Soul Power.
"Heavens, child, you actually have innate full Soul Power." It took Su Yuntao a long time to recover. His gaze held both shock and disappointment as he looked at Tang San.
He had finally encountered someone with innate full Soul Power.
Yet his Martial Soul just had to be Blue Silver Grass.
For deacons like him, who were responsible for ordinary people's Martial Soul Awakening, awakening a child with extraordinary potential and recruiting them into the Spirit Hall would greatly improve their chances of promotion.
Su Yuntao noticed the confusion in Tang San's eyes at the term "innate full Soul Power." He could not help sighing as he explained:
"To become a Soul Master, Soul Power is paramount. Even the most worthless Martial Soul can be cultivated through meditation to make you a Soul Master, as long as you possess Soul Power. However, your Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul is a textbook trash Martial Soul. Even if you become a Soul Master, you'll still be a trash Soul Master."
Su Yuntao's eyes were filled with complicated emotions.
Innate full Soul Power, an aptitude rarely seen in a hundred years, yet his Martial Soul was Blue Silver Grass.
What a fucking kick in the teeth.
If Tang San's Martial Soul had not been Blue Silver Grass, Su Yuntao would have brought him back to the Spirit Hall no matter what.
Now, only Xiao Yan had yet to awaken his Martial Soul. Old Jack had previously explained Tang San and Xiao Yan's relationship to Su Yuntao, and he still harbored a sliver of hope for Xiao Yan. Perhaps within the older brother of this child with innate full Soul Power...
Following his instructions, Xiao Yan stepped forward and stood among the black hexagonal stones like the children before him. A golden glow instantly spread over his entire body.
In a flash of lightning and the strike of flint, Xiao Yan felt an incomparably scorching aura rise from deep within him. His body felt as though it were being burned by raging flames, searing every inch of his meridians.
As his consciousness grew hazy, Xiao Yan sank into a realm of chaos.
At the center of that chaos lay a sea of multicolored flames. There, the flames gathered into an enormous fiery flower bud. The bud slowly blossomed, and a figure dressed in black robes, carrying the Black Ruler on his back, appeared before Xiao Yan's eyes.
"What is this?" Xiao Yan stared at the black-clad figure. Vaguely, he felt as though he had seen this person countless times before, but he could no longer remember where those encounters had taken place.
The next moment.
The black-clad figure transformed into a Fire Lotus and flew toward Xiao Yan, plunging into the center of his brow in an instant.
Boom.
Xiao Yan's consciousness exploded, and he was pulled back into reality.
At that moment, the black stones surrounding Xiao Yan, which were used to awaken Martial Souls, spontaneously ignited. In the blink of an eye, they burned to powder.
Su Yuntao had never encountered anything like this before. The way he looked at Xiao Yan had completely changed, as though he were looking at a monster.
Logically, the child before him should possess an extremely powerful Martial Soul. If he could bring him back to the Spirit Hall, surely the Spirit Hall would reward him handsomely.
Beside him, Tang San was also left dumbstruck by the strange phenomenon accompanying Xiao Yan's Martial Soul Awakening. Heavenly Flames surrounded him before his Martial Soul had even appeared. Just how powerful a supreme Martial Soul could this be?
They had been born to the same father and mother, yet by comparison, his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul seemed sadly outshone.
Xiao Yan was not feeling well either. The instant he slightly opened his palm, his mind briefly went blank, and countless fragments of memory surged into his head like a rising tide:
"I'll turn my body into Heavenly Flames and seal you away for a thousand ages! Hun Tiandi, let the continent's calamity end here!"
"Xiao Yan, you destroyed my Hun Clan's thousand-year plan! I refuse to accept this! I refuse!"
That shrill cry, filled with bitter defiance, brought Xiao Yan back to his senses like cold water poured over his head. A moment later, his mind gradually cleared. Looking at the multicolored Fire Lotus in his hand, he could not help freezing slightly.
With a slight stir of his consciousness, the Fire Lotus in Xiao Yan's hand changed shape, becoming a dazzling, multicolored flame.
His eyes fixed on the brilliantly colored flame in his palm, Xiao Yan felt a faint unease. He kept feeling as though he had forgotten someone very important.
Su Yuntao frowned. "A flame Martial Soul, with a certain degree of offensive power. If you possess Soul Power, you should be able to cultivate and become a Soul Master."
"Come, let's test your Soul Power Level." Quite excited, Su Yuntao handed Xiao Yan the blue crystal ball. His attitude toward Xiao Yan was far warmer than it had been toward Tang San.
The instant Xiao Yan took the blue crystal ball, Su Yuntao noticed what appeared to be a tiny multicolored lotus in his pupils. Those peculiar eyes seemed capable of drawing his very soul into them.
Xiao Yan placed his hand on the blue crystal ball. Immediately, it blazed with light. Its rich blue radiance was not the least bit inferior to Tang San's earlier display, and even seemed poised to surpass it.
The light was so intense that it shone through the windows and could even be faintly seen outside!
Crack!
A faint cracking sound came from the blue crystal ball.
"You... you also have innate full Soul Power?" Su Yuntao stared at Xiao Yan with burning eyes and said in disbelief.
Looking at the little boy before him, Su Yuntao's heart brimmed with joy. If he could bring such a genius back to the Spirit Hall, wouldn't his promotion and marriage to Sisi be just around the corner?
"All right, everyone except him can leave." Su Yuntao pointed at Xiao Yan, signaling for the others to leave first.
At his words, Tang San and the others all left the Spirit Hall in disappointment.
"Little one, what's your name?" Su Yuntao crouched before Xiao Yan and asked gently, smiling.
"Uncle, my name is Tang... Xiao Yan. My name is Xiao Yan." After a moment's thought, Xiao Yan answered calmly.
"Little Xiao Yan, congratulations. You have innate full Soul Power, something rarely seen in a hundred years, and your Martial Soul also possesses a certain degree of offensive power. You'll definitely be able to become a Soul Master in the future." Having said that, Su Yuntao eagerly asked, "Would you be interested in joining the Spirit Hall, like me?"
