Sub-Dragon Martial Soul, Adoption

"Oh, you have Innate Soul Power. Very good!"

In the Spirit Master's eyes, Yao Xuan's body was now covered by a faint white glow. As energy overflowed from Yao Xuan's body, a trace of delight appeared in the Spirit Master's eyes.

Generally speaking, among children born into ordinary families, only one in several hundred possessed Innate Soul Power. Often, even after conducting awakening ceremonies for an entire day, they might not encounter a single child with soul power.

For that very reason, the Spirit Master was quite pleased to have encountered a child with soul power—another bonus was in the bag.

"Come, raise your right hand and let me see what your Martial Soul is."

With a smile on his face, the Spirit Master spoke warmly.

"Okay, Uncle."

Yao Xuan extended his right hand, palm facing upward. A nine-colored glow emerged from his palm, then gathered together to form a dragon-shaped Martial Soul roughly fifty centimeters long.

"A beast Martial Soul, and a rare Sub-Dragon Martial Soul at that. On top of that, you possess Innate Soul Power. Congratulations, you have quite good aptitude as a Soul Master!"

Looking at the Martial Soul in Yao Xuan's hand, the delight in the Spirit Master's eyes deepened as he spoke kindly.

This isn't some Sub-Dragon Martial Soul. It's the Ancestral Dragon Martial Soul, the ancestor of all dragons!

Yao Xuan could not help laughing inwardly at the Spirit Master's words. His Ancestral Dragon Bloodline unlock level was still only 0%, and his soul power was merely Level 5. The overwhelming aura of the Ancestral Dragon Martial Soul had yet to manifest, so it was no wonder the Spirit Master had mistaken it for a Sub-Dragon Martial Soul. Of course, Yao Xuan was not foolish enough to reveal the truth about his Martial Soul.

"Come, child. Place your hand on this Crystal Ball, and I'll test your Innate Soul Power more precisely."

As he spoke, the Spirit Master picked up a blue Crystal Ball from beside him, held it in his hand, and placed it in front of Yao Xuan.

It's been twenty thousand years, and they're still using these ancient hand-me-down Crystal Balls?

Yao Xuan grumbled inwardly as he looked at the Crystal Ball in the Spirit Master's hand, but he obediently extended his right hand and placed it atop the Crystal Ball.

As Yao Xuan moved, he felt the soul power within his body surge toward the Crystal Ball. When his soul power flowed into it, a white orb of light lit up at its center.

A second orb, a third orb... a fifth orb!

"Level 5 Innate Soul Power, child. Congratulations! As long as you cultivate diligently, you'll have a very good chance of advancing to Soul Elder in the future. You may even have the opportunity to reach the Soul Ancestor and Soul King realms."

Seeing Yao Xuan's test result, the Spirit Master smiled and explained it to him.

"I understand, Uncle. I'll definitely cultivate diligently!"

Hearing the Spirit Master's words, Yao Xuan answered sincerely, his eyes filled with determination.

"Alright. Since you possess Innate Soul Power, come with me. We need to make some additional changes and registrations to your records."

Hearing Yao Xuan's reply, the Spirit Master gently patted his head before leading him to the registration office at Red Mountain Academy.

Because he possessed Innate Soul Power, Yao Xuan was qualified to attend Red Mountain Academy's Soul Master Class. Compared with ordinary classes, it was unquestionably a key class, with the academy's best teachers and completely waived tuition.

Furthermore, because he had been found to possess Soul Master aptitude, Yao Xuan would no longer need to live at the Orphanage. By custom, he would be adopted by a Soul Master family, and his adoptive mother happened to be a teacher at the academy—Lin Ximeng.

"Yao Xuan, I heard you have Innate Soul Power?"

"I'm so jealous of you!"

"Come back and visit us when you have time!"

After learning that Yao Xuan had Soul Master aptitude, the other children at the Orphanage looked at him with envy, chattering away as they discussed and questioned him. Yao Xuan simply completed the adoption procedures with Lin Ximeng and left without looking back.

"Come, Yao Xuan. This will be your new home from now on. I'll be your guardian in the future, Lin Ximeng."

After a thirty-minute walk, Lin Ximeng brought Yao Xuan home. She pushed open the door and introduced the place.

"Thank you, Mom."

Looking into Lin Ximeng's eyes, although he was somewhat unhappy about suddenly gaining a bargain mother, Yao Xuan still obediently called her Mom.

"Mm, such a good boy. Come, get some rest first. Mom will cook for you right away. The food at the Orphanage probably wasn't very good, was it?"

Hearing Yao Xuan call her Mom, a hint of affection and concern appeared in Lin Ximeng's eyes. She gently stroked Yao Xuan's head before turning toward the kitchen.

Since Lin Ximeng happened to be serving as the homeroom teacher for First Grade and had no children of her own, the academy had invited her to become Yao Xuan's adoptive mother.

When she first learned of this, Lin Ximeng had been somewhat reluctant. However, when she saw Yao Xuan, she could not help being drawn to the special aura about him and unconsciously agreed to become his adoptive mother.

Although Lin Ximeng's apartment was located in the commoner district of Aolai City, as a Level 22 Soul Grandmaster, her income was fairly comfortable. Her apartment covered nearly eighty square meters and had everything: a living room, kitchen, bathroom, and bedrooms.

Sitting on the sofa, Yao Xuan looked around at his surroundings. A Soul Guidance Lamp hung from the ceiling, while a Soul Guidance Fan, Soul Guidance Washing Machine, Soul Guiding Television, and other appliances stood nearby. It was not much different from twenty-first-century Earth.

After resting for a while, Yao Xuan willed it and summoned his Martial Soul, sensing the circulation of soul power within his body.

Although he had only obtained his Martial Soul and awakened his soul power a day ago, Yao Xuan felt exceptionally close to both his Martial Soul and soul power, controlling them as easily as his own limbs. This was the effect of the system ability, Comprehension Enhancement. It had greatly improved Yao Xuan's understanding, allowing him to control soul power with meticulous precision.

However, it was quite regrettable that, as a Level 5 Soul Scholar, Yao Xuan's Martial Soul and soul power were still in their infancy and had yet to reveal their edge. But Yao Xuan was not in a hurry. As his soul power and Ancestral Dragon Bloodline improved, the Ancestral Dragon Martial Soul would surely reign supreme over the Douluo World.

School starts tomorrow! I'll soon meet this world's Child of Destiny—Tang Wulin, won't I? As long as I make good use of a Child of Destiny, I definitely won't have to worry about obtaining Golden Evolution Points!

After familiarizing himself with the operation of his Martial Soul and soul power, Yao Xuan thought to himself. If everything went as expected, Tang Wulin would attend Red Mountain Academy's First Grade Soul Master Class alongside him and become his classmate for the next three years, perhaps even longer.

According to the system's description of Golden Evolution Points, Children of Destiny like Tang Wulin were the best source of Golden Evolution Points. As long as he made good use of a Child of Destiny, obtaining Golden Evolution Points would be effortless.
