Three days later, early in the morning, Ye Chen left home and headed for the Martial Soul Branch Hall in the city.

He jogged toward the Martial Soul Branch Hall. Since it was not far away, Ye Chen saw the Notting City Martial Soul Branch Hall a few minutes later.

The Spirit Hall was quite wealthy. Even though this was merely a small Martial Soul Branch Hall, it was still the most magnificent building in Notting City, more luxurious even than the City Lord's Manor.

It was hard to imagine how much more grand and impressive the Spirit Temple in Heaven Dou City and the Pope Hall in Spirit City must be.

Although the social setting of Douluo Continent was generally similar to the ancient era of Ye Chen's previous life, some high-end or important places were no worse than those from his previous life in terms of architecture.

The Spirit Hall's work was not limited to awakening children's Martial Souls, so the Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony was not held in the main hall, but in a side hall nearby.

Although the doors to the side hall were still shut, seven or eight children around Ye Chen's age were already lined up outside, waiting eagerly.

Without much hesitation, Ye Chen joined the line.

While he waited, another dozen or so children gradually lined up behind him.

Notting City was not large. Excluding small villages like Holy Soul Village, Emperor Soul Village, and King Soul Village, the city itself had only around ten thousand residents. However, there were quite a few children who needed to awaken their Martial Souls every year.

As for the Spirit Hall helping children of the proper age awaken their Martial Souls for free, Ye Chen felt that regardless of whether their purpose was to recruit talent, the Spirit Hall was far better than the two great empires in this regard.

Moreover, the Spirit Hall also distributed Soul Master Subsidies to low-level Spirit Masters, which greatly increased Ye Chen's favorable impression of them.

Although the Gold Soul Coins for those subsidies all came out of the pockets of the two great empires and their subordinate kingdoms and duchies, without the Spirit Hall, there definitely would be no such thing as a Soul Master Subsidy.

Trying to make those noble lords part with their money was simply a fool's dream!

Hmm, the Spirit Hall was so rich. Could they be falsifying their accounts? Ye Chen felt that it was not impossible!

Another half hour later, the doors to the side hall opened.

A handsome young man in his twenties appeared, with sword-like brows and bright eyes.

He wore a fitted white outfit and a black cloak. At the center of his chest was a fist-sized character for "soul."

"Su Yuntao?"

Ye Chen, who was waiting in line, immediately brightened at the sight of the young man.

Although Su Yuntao was only a Two Ring Great Soul Master, he was still a notable figure in a small place like Notting City, so it was not strange that Ye Chen recognized him.

Seeing that Su Yuntao, this "Blind Eye Douluo," was about to awaken his Martial Soul personally, Ye Chen became fully confident that he would awaken an even more powerful talent.

After all, Innate Full Soul Power and Twin Martial Souls had appeared under Su Yuntao's hand. Even if he was not one of those, he ought to have some kind of luck bonus, right?

Speaking of which, had Tang San awakened his Martial Soul yet?

Although he too had been born in the year 2630 of the Douluo Calendar and was the same age as Tang San, he did not know whether Tang San had undergone Martial Soul Awakening yet.

"Children, come in. I'll awaken your Martial Souls now!"

Su Yuntao called to Ye Chen and the others, who had been obediently waiting in line.

Su Yuntao was already accustomed to seeing children lined up outside the door. At the beginning of every month, this side hall was always like this.

Then, Ye Chen and the others entered the side hall in the order they had originally lined up.

It was not that the children were naturally well-behaved and knew to line up without being told.

Rather, their parents had all instructed them that at the Spirit Hall, they had to obediently follow arrangements and behave themselves, because everyone in the Spirit Hall was a Spirit Master lord whom their families could not afford to offend.

As for children from wealthy families, or those whose elders were Spirit Masters, they all awakened their Martial Souls at home and would not come to the Spirit Hall.

"My name is Su Yuntao, a level twenty-six Great Soul Master, and I will be your guide.

"Now, I will awaken your Martial Souls one by one. Remember, no matter what happens later, do not be afraid!"

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Su Yuntao spoke with a gentle smile.

As he spoke, Su Yuntao took out six pitch-black, round Awakening Stones and a Blue Crystal Ball used to test Soul Power, arranging them into a hexagon on the ground.

Do not be afraid?

All the children present looked bewildered. Only Ye Chen knew that Blind Eye Douluo was giving them a precautionary warning.

Su Yuntao's Martial Soul was a wolf, and his Soul Power level was not high. When awakening children's Martial Souls, he needed to use his Martial Soul Avatar, and it was common for him to scare children into tears.

Su Yuntao shouted, "Lone Wolf, possess!"

In an instant, one white and one yellow soul ring appeared.

A faint bluish light emerged from the center of his brow, rising upward from his forehead. His originally black hair turned gray and rapidly lengthened.

At the same time, gray fur appeared on his exposed hands. His body swelled by a size, and he looked like a muscular werewolf with bulging muscles.

"Ah!"

Sure enough, the appearance of the "werewolf" frightened several children present.

Even Ye Chen, who had been mentally prepared, was startled. He simply did not show it on his face.

Su Yuntao's Martial Soul really was bizarre. A wolf was one thing, but a Lone Wolf? Wasn't that just a single dog?

Soon, under Su Yuntao's reassurance, all the children present calmed down.

"Alright, you, come stand in the awakening array."

Su Yuntao gestured to the little boy at the front of the line.

Then, Su Yuntao rapidly struck out with both hands, injecting Soul Power into the six Awakening Stones on the ground.

At once, a hazy golden radiance flowed from the six Awakening Stones, forming a pale golden barrier around the little boy. Countless golden specks also entered his body.

"Extend your right hand."

The "werewolf" Su Yuntao told the little boy.

The little boy did so instinctively. Light specks surged forth, and in an instant, a kitchen knife appeared in his hand.

"A Tool Soul, a kitchen knife. Little friend, withdraw your Martial Soul with your thoughts and test your Soul Power."

As he spoke, Su Yuntao placed the Soul Power testing crystal ball in front of the little boy.

The child's tiny hand rested on the Soul Power testing crystal ball, but it did not emit any light.

"No Soul Power. You cannot cultivate. Next."

Su Yuntao was slightly disappointed. The very first child today did not possess Innate Soul Power. Was today simply not a good day for Martial Soul Awakening?

"No Soul Power?"

If Su Yuntao was only slightly disappointed, then the little boy was utterly devastated. After all, without Innate Soul Power, he could not become a Spirit Master.
