"Kid, don't think your Martial Soul is useless. Your Martial Soul has Innate Full Soul Power."

"Although it may indeed lack combat ability, perhaps it possesses top-tier support abilities."

"Your talent might be buried elsewhere, but if you're willing to join our Spirit Hall, we are the most powerful Soul Master force on the continent. We can definitely nurture you into a success!"

Looking at Lin Yu, Hou Yuntao had not given up on recruiting him.

"Would you like to consider it again?"

"If you're willing to join our Spirit Hall, we'll send you to the best Soul Master Academy."

"Not only will we not charge you tuition, we'll also give you a scholarship. And whenever you want to go home during the holidays, we'll even send a carriage to take you back."

Drawing on what he knew of the treatment Soul Master Academies in Spirit City gave to geniuses, Hou Yuntao tempted Lin Yu.

Damn! Those benefits are pretty good!

Hearing Hou Yuntao's words, Lin Yu could not help being somewhat surprised.

But there was a reason he was not choosing to join Spirit Hall yet.

For one thing, he truly had not figured out what to do in the future.

If his cheat had been a normal cheat like those in the novels he had read in his previous life, he definitely would not have needed Spirit Hall, nor would he have joined it.

But unfortunately, his cheat was not normal. Still, it was not unusable.

That left Lin Yu hesitant over whether or not to join Spirit Hall.

And on the other hand, Lin Yu felt that he was, after all, someone with Innate Full Soul Power.

If he simply agreed to Hou Yuntao like this, it would make him seem far too cheap!

He did not need Spirit Hall's Pope, Bibi Dong, to come personally and make three visits to his humble home.

But if news of him could reach Pope Bibi Dong in Spirit City, prompting Spirit Hall to send someone to recruit him...

Then when he agreed to join Spirit Hall in the future, he would surely receive more attention.

So Lin Yu still declined tactfully.

"Sorry, Lord Soul Master. I haven't made up my mind yet. I'll give you an answer later."

"Kid, where are your parents? I'll go talk to them!"

Hou Yuntao was still unwilling to give up.

Ever since he had begun representing Spirit Hall in extending invitations to these commoner children, no one had ever rejected him.

But considering that the child before him had Innate Full Soul Power, he did not feel upset about it.

A genius, after all! They were certainly different from ordinary people.

"That won't be necessary! My father and mother have both passed away. I'm the only one left at home now!"

In response to Hou Yuntao's words, Lin Yu scratched his head and revealed a somewhat "bashful" smile.

This answer nearly made Hou Yuntao cough up blood.

Your parents are dead—you should be sad, shouldn't you? What the hell are you being shy about?!

But upon hearing that Lin Yu was all alone now, Hou Yuntao's heart became incredibly conflicted.

Lin Yu was unwilling to accept his invitation.

Originally, he had intended to achieve his goal by persuading Lin Yu's parents, but clearly that was no longer possible.

Of course, he could forcibly abduct Lin Yu and send him to the Martial Soul Main Hall.

But doing so would, on one hand, violate Hou Yuntao's conscience, and on the other, carry considerable hidden risks.

What if doing this made the genius named Lin Yu harbor a grudge and seek revenge on him in the future?

He was merely an ordinary Soul Grandmaster from a remote place, and he would probably remain like this for the rest of his life.

He could not withstand the revenge of a genius with Innate Full Soul Power and limitless potential!

Thinking of this, Hou Yuntao could only sigh, planning to write a letter and notify the Martial Soul Main Hall after returning.

He would have the Martial Soul Main Hall send someone over to take this genius away.

Although he would not have handled things perfectly this way...

He should still be able to get seventy or eighty percent of the reward, right?

After failing to get Lin Yu to join Spirit Hall,

Hou Yuntao packed his things with regret, opened the doors of the Martial Soul Sub-Hall, and walked out.

The moment Hou Yuntao emerged, Village Chief Old Leo and several parents eagerly crowded around him.

"Lord Soul Master, how did the children of our village do in this Martial Soul Awakening? Are any of them qualified to become Soul Masters?"

Old Leo asked hopefully.

"There's one, and he even has Innate Full Soul Power. Your village is sure to rise to greatness in the future!"

His gaze slowly sweeping over Village Chief Leo and the villagers, Hou Yuntao could not help sighing with emotion.

"Innate Full Soul Power?!"

Hearing Hou Yuntao's words, Old Leo and the villagers were stunned, unable to recover for quite some time.

And by the time the villagers came back to their senses,

Hou Yuntao had already left, since he still needed to preside over Martial Soul Awakening ceremonies in other villages.

Fortunately, Lin Yu and the other three, Goudan, Sizhu, and Erya, emerged from the Martial Soul Sub-Hall at that moment.

Seeing Lin Yu and the other three, Village Chief Leo and several parents immediately asked,

"Children, which one of you is qualified to become a Soul Master and also has Innate Full Soul Power?"

"It's Brother Yu!"

Hearing Village Chief Leo and the others, Goudan, Sizhu, and Erya immediately pointed at Lin Yu with envy.

Lin Yu, meanwhile, wore a very modest expression.

"Xiao Yu, I never expected it to be you!"

"Wonderful! If your late father and mother knew this news, they would definitely be proud of you!"

Upon learning it was Lin Yu, Village Chief Old Leo burst into joyful laughter.

Because of Lin Yu's maturity and obedient nature,

the child Village Chief Old Leo liked and admired most in the village was Lin Yu.

Just like Old Jack and Tang San.

And after learning that the genius with Innate Full Soul Power was Lin Yu,

Old Leo believed that Lin Yu would definitely not squander this talent!

After exchanging pleasantries for a while,

Lin Yu left the crude Martial Soul Sub-Hall in the center of the village and returned to his home at the edge of the village.

After returning home, Lin Yu tested out his newly awakened Chaos Azure Lotus Martial Soul.

But perhaps because Lin Yu's strength was still too low,

his level 10 Soul Power could only support the manifestation of the Chaos Azure Lotus Martial Soul for less than three minutes.

Moreover, Lin Yu could not activate the Chaos Azure Lotus Martial Soul's special abilities.

Although Martial Souls with special abilities were not common, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, which could naturally emit and control lightning, and the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, which naturally possessed the ability to purify with light, were among the rare few,

Lin Yu did not believe that the Chaos Azure Lotus Martial Soul lacked special abilities as well.

It seemed his strength was simply still too low for now!

Meanwhile, as evening arrived,

after completing the Martial Soul Awakening ceremonies in the villages near Jila City,

Hou Yuntao returned to the Martial Soul Sub-Hall in Jila City. He immediately wrote a letter and sent it to Spirit City.

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

Amid the tension, fear, excitement, anticipation, and countless other emotions of innumerable people,

the second Live Q&A finally began.

That day, Lin Yu stayed at home.

As the time reached ten in the morning, everyone's vision suddenly went black.

When their sight returned, a dark, profound space like the vacuum of the universe appeared before them.

At the same time, the illusory screen in their vision materialized.

However, the event to be livestreamed did not begin playing immediately.

The contract has already been printed and will be mailed today. Signing is expected to be completed next Monday, after which updates will begin twice daily!

Also, once the second livestream ends, the necessary setup will be over as well.

Next, Tang Hao, Tang San, and Grandmaster will begin to be exposed, and the torment will unfold. Please look forward to it!
