Martial Soul Awakening

Spirit Masters were the most prestigious profession on the continent, and becoming one was the best way for ordinary commoners to rise in status.

"Tool Soul, Sickle. No Soul Power."

"Tool Soul, Hoe. Innate Level 1 Soul Power. Can become a Spirit Master."

"Tool Soul, Rolling Pin. No Soul Power."

Before long, only one little girl remained in front of Ye Chen.

"Tool Soul, Blue Silver Grass? No Soul Power. As expected, Blue Silver Grass is a useless Martial Soul!"

Seeing that the little girl before him had awakened Blue Silver Grass as her Martial Soul, Su Yuntao could not help commenting on it.

"Handsome big brother, is it impossible for Blue Silver Grass to have Innate Soul Power?"

Ye Chen asked Su Yuntao.

"Hm? Little one, what a sweet mouth you have. You're quite sensible! As far as I know, Blue Silver Grass Martial Souls do not absolutely lack Innate Soul Power. It is simply far less likely to appear than with other Martial Souls. And even if it does, it definitely won't be high. I've been a Martial Soul Awakening Envoy for quite some time, but I've never seen a child who awakened a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul possess Innate Soul Power."

Hearing someone call him "handsome big brother," Su Yuntao felt delighted and began explaining things to Ye Chen.

"Is that so?"

Hearing Su Yuntao say this, Ye Chen was certain that Tang San had probably not awakened his Martial Soul yet.

After all, Blue Silver Grass with Innate Full Soul Power should have shocked Su Yuntao for the rest of his life, right? There was no way he could have forgotten it!

"Alright, little one, it's your turn. I hope you awaken Innate Soul Power."

Ye Chen was polite despite his young age, and he was cute as well, so Su Yuntao offered him a blessing.

Then, Ye Chen stepped into the awakening formation. As Su Yuntao injected Soul Power into it, pale golden light once again lit up from within the formation.

So comfortable~

Standing within the golden curtain of light, Ye Chen immediately felt a warm current enter his body. It felt so comfortable that he closed his eyes.

Very soon, Ye Chen sensed that something seemed to be emerging from his right hand.

Uh, only one Martial Soul?

There was no reaction from his left hand, which meant he had awakened only one Martial Soul. His dream of awakening Twin Martial Souls had officially been shattered.

There's still a chance. As long as I awaken high-level Innate Soul Power, I won't fare badly in the future.

Having finally come to Douluo Continent, would it not be a lifelong regret if he could not reach the pinnacle?

With that thought, Ye Chen opened his eyes and looked at his right hand.

A jade-green Bamboo Staff had appeared in his palm.

A Bamboo Staff Martial Soul?

There were countless varieties of Martial Souls on the continent, divided into different grades. From low to high, they were ordinary Martial Souls, advanced Martial Souls, top-grade Martial Souls, and god-grade Martial Souls.

Sickles, hoes, rolling pins, and the like were all ordinary-quality Martial Souls. Although Blue Silver Grass was called a useless Martial Soul, it too belonged among ordinary Martial Souls.

Advanced Martial Souls included the Jade Phosphorous Serpent, Dragon Pattern Staff, Vajra Bear, and the like.

Top-grade Martial Souls were synonymous with powerful Martial Souls. The most well-known were the Haotian Hammer, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, White Tiger, and so on.

Although the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul inherited by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had support effects hailed as the best under heaven, its inherent flaw meant it could only be classified as a pseudo-top-grade Martial Soul. Only the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda could be considered a true top-grade Martial Soul.

As for god-grade Martial Souls, there was no need to say more. Only Martial Souls passed down by Deities could be called god-grade Martial Souls.

Looking across the entirety of Douluo Continent, there were only two: Spirit Hall's Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul and Sea God Island's Sea God Martial Soul.

Not only were god-grade Martial Souls immensely powerful in quality, they were also born with domains. Furthermore, those who awakened god-grade Martial Souls generally did not have poor Innate Soul Power. Becoming a Titled Douluo would be effortless.

In this life, Ye Chen's father had an Iron Rod Martial Soul, while his mother had a Bamboo Staff Martial Soul. The two Martial Souls were of similar quality, both ordinary Martial Souls. It was perfectly normal for him to awaken a Bamboo Staff Martial Soul.

It was just a pity that without Twin Martial Souls, Ye Chen's original hope of having his Martial Soul mutate like Ma Hongjun's and directly turn a chicken into a phoenix was now gone as well.

For those with powerful inherited Martial Souls, it was probably best not to have their Martial Souls mutate.

After all, there were two kinds of mutations. One was a beneficial mutation, which made the Martial Soul stronger. The other was a harmful mutation, after which the Martial Soul could become even weaker than before.

But for someone of ordinary birth like Ye Chen, a Martial Soul mutation would absolutely bring more benefits than drawbacks. After all, his Martial Soul was not much to begin with. No matter how bad it got, how much worse could it become?

"Bamboo Staff Martial Soul. Little one, come test your Innate Soul Power!"

Su Yuntao placed the Soul Power Testing Crystal Ball before Ye Chen.

Heavens, bless me. Even if it isn't Innate Full Soul Power, please don't let me have no Innate Soul Power at all!

The quality of one's Martial Soul was closely related to the level of one's Innate Soul Power. It was impossible for someone to have an unremarkable Martial Soul yet possess Innate Full Soul Power.

At this moment, Ye Chen no longer hoped for Innate Full Soul Power. He only hoped he did not lack Innate Soul Power altogether.

If he had Innate Soul Power, even if it was only Level 1 or even half a level, he would still have a chance in the future.

Although treasures that could change one's talent were rare on Douluo Continent, they were not nonexistent.

But if he truly did not have even the slightest bit of Innate Soul Power, then he would be completely beyond saving.

He was not one of those great figures from fanfiction who could establish another cultivation system and become an expert even without Innate Soul Power.

Then, Ye Chen placed his right hand on the Soul Power Testing Crystal Ball.

The instant his hand touched the crystal ball, Ye Chen immediately felt a pulling force coming from it.

Very soon, the Soul Power Testing Crystal Ball lit up, releasing a faint blue glow.

"Not bad. Innate Level 3 Soul Power. Keep it up, little one. Cultivate diligently, and becoming a Soul Ancestor in the future should not be a problem."

Su Yuntao felt somewhat gratified. In his eyes, Innate Level 3 Soul Power was already quite decent.

He had worked as a Martial Soul Awakening Envoy for quite some time and awakened Martial Souls for many children, yet there were very few whose talent surpassed Ye Chen's.

After all, the children who needed Spirit Hall's help to awaken their Martial Souls were all commoners. Their parents had not passed down powerful Martial Souls or talent, and if their Martial Souls had not mutated, then high-level Innate Soul Power was extremely difficult to come by.

Innate Level 3 Soul Power?

Su Yuntao was pleased with Ye Chen's talent, but Ye Chen was not. What could Innate Level 3 Soul Power even accomplish?

If he cultivated honestly, by the time Tang San became a god, he might still be loafing around at the Great Soul Master level!
