After reading all nine options, Jiang Huai was utterly stunned.
He could choose four at once.
That really did make it hard to decide.
Options one and two were must-picks.
Although he had no control over which character template he drew, he really could not afford to pass it up.
Who knew what sort of Martial Soul this body of his would awaken?
His body was so scrawny that he had clearly suffered from prolonged malnutrition. He had no idea how much innate Soul Power he might have.
As a child of destiny, Huo Yuhao had at least had a Spirit Eyes Martial Soul to fall back on.
If Jiang Huai failed to awaken a White Tiger and ended up with some bizarre trash Martial Soul instead, that would be a bit of a joke.
With a little luck, he might draw the same template as Third Brother: twin Martial Souls of Blue Silver Grass and the Clear Sky Hammer, with the potential to become the Asura God and Sea God.
Even if his luck was a little worse and he drew an ordinary high-ranking Martial Soul, it would do no great harm.
With the Mamba's recognition from option one, Jiang Huai felt his future would still be promising after his Martial Soul evolved once!
As for option three...
What the fuck was that filthy thing?
Get to the back of the line!
Without becoming a god, he would ultimately be nothing more than a slightly larger ant.
Naturally, there was no reason to give up the God King inheritance in option seven, either.
That left just one slot.
He was currently in the Star Luo Empire and would not have much interaction with those members of the Tang family anytime soon.
Thus, Third Brother's recognition or the Shrek Seven Devils' recognition was actually of little consequence.
Why pass up a future God King inheritance just to become Third Brother's dog and a Second-Level God?
Letting his bargain-bin father notice him too soon was not a particularly good choice, either.
In this era, the Star Luo Imperial Family's struggle for succession was brutally cruel.
Never mind whether the Star Luo Emperor Dai Tianfeng could strike the right balance in it.
Even the Great Qing's foremost baturu would have to steer clear.
Since he had decided to take his talents to Spirit Hall,
he would wait until his wings had grown strong, then let this inherently evil Star Luo Imperial Family know just who was legitimate!
Love you, Dad. See you at Xuanwu Gate!
Nobody knew more about dealing with brothers than he did!
That left only the tender regard of the two powerful women.
As the saying went, women were like fine wine: the older they were, the richer their fragrance.
Th-this... what was he supposed to do?
According to those Tang scholars from his previous life, Chao Tianxiang was a first-rate beauty!
Since he had come to the Douluo Continent, a beauty like that simply had to be savored!
Jiang Huai: I admit there's an element of gambling here, but I want to put my own weakness to the test!
"I choose one, two, five, and seven!"
Without hesitating any further, Jiang Huai quickly made his selections on the light screen.
This choice would be the greatest maneuver in Douluo history!
In an instant, Jiang Huai felt his body shudder uncontrollably, and comfort washed over him.
Immediately afterward, the deep-blue light screen listing the nine options vanished, replaced by a template-drawing interface resembling a slot machine.
The draw began, and familiar character panels flashed rapidly before Jiang Huai's eyes.
Tang Wulin, Long Yeyue, Chao Tianxiang, Huo Yuhao...
Finally, the image stopped on an orange-haired girl with a full bust and curvy hips.
[Ding! Congratulations on obtaining the Wu Siduo template. Binding successful!] [Martial Soul obtained: White Tiger!] [Martial Soul obtained: Hell Spirit Cat!] [Innate Soul Skill obtained: Self Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Hell White Tiger!]
The next moment, a powerful presence of utmost strength and yang erupted from Jiang Huai's body!
The White Tiger, king of all beasts!
Su Haitao, whose Martial Soul was the Lone Wolf, sensed that presence and nearly wet himself on the spot.
As his Martial Souls awakened, the Mamba's recognition took effect as well.
Both of Jiang Huai's Martial Souls underwent evolution to differing degrees.
His White Tiger Martial Soul showed faint signs of evolving toward the Holy Light Tiger.
His Hell Spirit Cat's control over the powers of death and the netherworld also improved tremendously.
Jiang Huai: I feel terrifyingly strong right now!
Coming to his senses, Su Haitao hurriedly held the crystal ball for testing Soul Power out before Jiang Huai.
Jiang Huai raised his hand and pressed it against the ball.
Sure enough, blue light instantly flooded the entire room!
Innate full Soul Power!
As Su Haitao looked at Jiang Huai, he felt that achievements, opportunities, and a reward of Gold Soul Coins were all laid out before him!
Once he received his reward, he would be sure to mercilessly mock his younger cousin Su Yuntao, who served in the Heaven Dou Empire!
All these years, and he had not awakened a single genius?
Was he not devout enough toward the great Angel God?
Was he still not working hard enough?
"Child, please, you simply must join our Spirit Hall!"
"With your talent, an elder will surely be willing to take you as a disciple. Your future prospects will be boundless!"
Yet the moment he finished speaking, Su Haitao suddenly realized something.
Wait a minute.
He was currently on Star Luo City's turf.
Wasn't this boy's awakened White Tiger Martial Soul precisely the hereditary Martial Soul of the Star Luo Imperial Family?
Oh no!
Could this boy actually be a prince?
Were his achievements about to fly away?
Su Haitao looked at Jiang Huai, the smile on his face gradually stiffening. For a moment, he did not know what to say.
Noticing his gaze, Jiang Huai immediately understood.
"Deacon, you're worrying too much. Joining Spirit Hall has always been my dream."
"However, I'm sure you understand what my Martial Soul represents. Some things really ought to be handled quickly."
At those words, Su Haitao nearly wept with joy.
His achievements had not flown away, and the boy was even urging him to leave?
How could such a wonderful thing exist!
He instinctively glanced outside the door and hurriedly spoke.
"Rest assured, young master. Leave everything to me!"
"There's no time to lose. Please return with me to Spirit Hall in Star Luo City!"
"Our Platinum Bishop is a Soul Douluo. With him stepping in, we can certainly escort a genius like you safely to Spirit City!"
Naturally, Jiang Huai expressed that he had no objection.
"But, Deacon, my mother has just passed away. I still need Grandpa Village Chief's help arranging her funeral."
"Unfortunately, my pockets are rather empty right now. Could you..."
Before he could finish, Su Haitao swept his hand grandly.
"Don't worry. Our Spirit Hall will cover your mother's funeral!"
"Spirit Hall will also provide the village with appropriate support."
What did a mere handful of Gold Soul Coins matter?
All the more so when their Spirit Hall's future genius was so sincere and filial!
A genius like this belonged in their Spirit Hall!
Su Haitao felt as though he were Qin Shi Huang touching a live wire.
Winning so hard he had gone numb!
As soon as the two stepped out of the hut, Old Jerry came up to them. Before he could ask about the awakening results, a heavy bag of Gold Soul Coins was pressed into his hands.
"Sir, Xiao Huai is very talented. I'm taking him to see the bishop right away."
"Please take this money. Sorry for troubling you with his mother's funeral arrangements."
