Su Mo's Martial Soul

After Lin Ao completed his Martial Soul awakening.

The others then took the stage one after another and, under the guidance of the Red-Clothed Archbishop presiding over the Soul Awakening Ceremony, began awakening their own Martial Souls.

But unfortunately, among those who underwent Martial Soul awakening afterward.

The highest Innate Soul Power was only Innate Level 8 Soul Power. There was no one with Innate Level 9 Soul Power, let alone Innate Full Soul Power.

"Is it not my turn yet?"

As time passed, Su Mo noticed that one by one, the people waiting for their Martial Soul awakenings on the grass behind Spirit City's Central Square were called away, yet his name was never called. He could not help but frown as he waited on the grass.

Had he been saved for the finale?

In fact, Su Mo had guessed correctly. His turn had indeed been placed last.

As for the reason, Qian Xunji believed that Su Mo could not awaken a Martial Soul with Soul Power and become a Soul Master, which would undoubtedly make him the laughingstock of Spirit City.

Qian Xunji did not care in the slightest what would happen to Su Mo.

But because of Su Mo's relationship with his disciple Bibi Dong, Qian Xunji did not want Bibi Dong to be implicated or criticized because of Su Mo.

So, in order to minimize the impact, Qian Xunji arranged for Su Mo to go last.

That way, even if Su Mo embarrassed himself at the Soul Awakening Ceremony, the ceremony would soon be over, and it would not affect Bibi Dong too much.

"Fine, then I'll be the finale. From the looks of it, this Soul Awakening Ceremony in Spirit City hasn't produced any particularly outstanding geniuses either. The highest talent is only Innate Level 8 Soul Power."

"Then, when I appear last, after being looked down on by countless people and with no one expecting anything from me, only to awaken a Martial Soul with Innate Full Soul Power, countless people will surely be left dumbfounded!"

Realizing that he had likely been deliberately arranged to undergo his Martial Soul awakening last, Su Mo frowned. But in the end, he did not take it to heart and instead found the thought rather amusing.

Although showing off was shameful!

The feeling of ruthlessly slapping the faces of everyone who had looked down on him before, right in front of countless people.

That was something he simply could not refuse.

"The next batch: Lin Yu, Fang Fei... Su Mo!"

As Su Mo waited in utter boredom.

When he finally heard his name from the direction of Spirit City's Central Square, Su Mo immediately opened his eyes and sat up from the tree he had been leaning against.

"Phew! Is it finally my turn?"

A trace of anticipation flashed through his eyes. Su Mo rose to his feet and followed the last remaining group on the grass toward Spirit City's Central Square, where they lined up at the back to wait.

"It's finally Xiao Mo's turn!"

Elsewhere, in the VIP seats not far from Spirit City's Central Square, Bibi Dong was also a little delighted when she saw that it was finally Su Mo's turn.

As the Saintess of Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong had always been known for her gentle and kind nature, so no one had said that she should not have adopted Su Mo or anything of the sort.

After all, even if Su Mo could not become a Soul Master, Bibi Dong could still afford to raise an ordinary child.

But Bibi Dong knew that many people were deeply hostile toward Su Mo.

The reason was that Spirit City was the holy land of Soul Masters across the entire Douluo Continent. Nearly everyone living in Spirit City was a Soul Master; even the waiters in restaurants were Soul Masters.

And the descendants of Soul Masters almost had a one hundred percent chance of becoming Soul Masters themselves.

Therefore, during Spirit City's annual Martial Soul awakening, almost every child participating in the awakening could become a Soul Master.

This was something many Spirit City residents took pride in, using it to look down on other cities.

Thus, with Su Mo suddenly appearing as someone who dragged them down, many people naturally disliked him greatly.

Although this situation had been unavoidable, given Bibi Dong's current feelings for Su Mo, she still felt quite angry on his behalf.

Now, Bibi Dong desperately hoped that Su Mo could awaken a powerful Martial Soul before everyone and ruthlessly slap all their faces, forcing them all to see him in a new light!

"Next, Su Mo!"

Under Bibi Dong's expectant gaze, the Red-Clothed Archbishop presiding over this Soul Awakening Ceremony on the platform in Spirit City's Central Square finally called Su Mo's name.

Hearing his name, Su Mo immediately walked toward the platform without arrogance or servility.

"Alas! This Soul Awakening Ceremony doesn't even have a single Soul Master with Innate Level 9 Soul Power or Innate Full Soul Power..."

As he watched Su Mo approach the platform, the Red-Clothed Archbishop recalled that the last child he had guided through the awakening had still possessed only Level 7 Innate Soul Power after awakening his Martial Soul, unable to reach Level 9 or even Level 10. He could not help feeling somewhat regretful.

As the most powerful force on the Douluo Continent, Spirit Hall had always wanted to demonstrate strength capable of crushing any one of the Upper Three Sects in every respect.

In terms of power and wealth, Spirit Hall had already achieved that.

But when it came to producing geniuses during the annual Martial Soul awakening, Spirit Hall could not demonstrate absolute superiority.

This was because the Qian Family, the family that led Spirit Hall, possessed the strongest Martial Soul on the entire Douluo Continent, but its bloodline had always been sparse.

And although Spirit Hall recruited Soul Masters from across the entire Douluo Continent, the probability of discovering top-tier geniuses was still ultimately lower than that of the great families possessing top-tier Martial Souls.

"Only this last child remains. I wonder..."

Seeing that Su Mo had already stepped onto the platform, the Red-Clothed Archbishop could not help thinking this subconsciously. But before he could finish the thought, he shook his head with a faintly amused smile.

What am I thinking? This child is merely a stray the Saintess adopted on a whim. It would already be good enough if he awakened a Martial Soul with Soul Power, yet I'm actually hoping he might possess the talent of Innate Level 9 Soul Power.

"Close your eyes and prepare to sense the Martial Soul within your body!"

After Su Mo stepped onto the platform and entered the Soul Awakening Array, the Red-Clothed Archbishop suddenly shouted. At the same time, he swiftly sent streams of Soul Power into the black stones that formed the Soul Awakening Array.

In an instant, golden motes of light filled the air as they scattered from the black stones, enveloping Su Mo and continuously pouring into his body.

Meanwhile, upon hearing the Red-Clothed Archbishop's words, Su Mo closed his eyes and began sensing the Martial Soul within him.

As he closed his eyes and the endless golden motes entered his body, guided by instinct, Su Mo's consciousness inexplicably arrived in a vast, deep, pitch-black space.

This was Su Mo's Sea of Consciousness!

And before Su Mo floated three radiant projections, each glowing in a different color and clearly extraordinary.

One was a Black Scythe, entirely pitch-black and radiating endless deathly intent. One was a staff that looked like an ordinary tree branch, yet seemed to have been carved from emerald jade and emitted boundless life energy. The last was a Fallen Angel clad in a Black Robe, with the exact same face as Su Mo, but with Six Pairs of Black Wings growing from its back.

These were the three Martial Souls Su Mo had chosen for himself: the Death God Scythe, the Staff of the Tree of Life, and the Twelve-Winged Fallen Angel!
