Douluo Continent: Tonight, a Fairy Tale Descends.

They're here!

He subconsciously raised his right hand.

In that instant, Lin Wan felt something surging wildly outward from the palm of her right hand.

The feeling was so intense that his entire right arm began to tremble slightly.

Looking at Lin Wan surrounded by the dim light, Anxi couldn't contain his joy.

The aura of this awakened martial spirit is even stronger than that of the ice bear from before.

"Concentrate! Guide it!"

Anzai's voice came through with a hint of seriousness.

Lin Wan closed her eyes, forcing herself to concentrate all her energy to feel and guide the power surging and roaring in her right hand.

Boom!

A pure, snow-white light burst forth from Lin Wan's raised right palm without warning.

The light was so gentle and holy that it instantly dispelled part of the golden light of the magic circle, like a bright moon rising in a golden ocean.

The light condensed and took shape.

A creature floated gracefully in Lin Wan's palm.

Its entire body was covered in pure, soft fur, as clean as fresh snow, which emitted a soft, shimmering light in the dimly lit hall.

Her figure is slender and graceful, with lines so perfect they seem like a masterpiece of the Creator.

Nine fluffy, furry tails curled naturally behind its body, with a touch of dreamy, icy blue at the tips.

What is most captivating are its eyes—long, narrow, and lively eyes that seem to hold the secrets of the entire icy forest. The pupils are a deep, icy blue, like the purest, millennia-old ice, and at this moment, they are gazing at the world with a hint of nascent innocence and curiosity.

Exquisite! Sacred and mysterious!

An overwhelming murmur of astonishment filled the entire hall.

The children forgot the cold and hunger, all staring intently at the phantom of the nine-tailed fox floating in the golden light.

Even Anzai, who was well-traveled and knowledgeable, showed a deep sense of amazement in his eyes.

The quality and spirituality of this martial spirit are far superior to those of the previous Ice Bear.

He even subconsciously held his breath, and the faint hope in his heart was magnified countless times in an instant.

With such agile top-tier beast spirit, is Hanbei Village about to produce a second genius?

No, this could be innate full soul power!

"Quick! Put your hand on the crystal ball!"

Anxi's voice was somewhat urgent as she immediately handed the crystal ball to Lin Wan.

He leaned forward slightly, his icy blue eyes fixed intently on the crystal ball.

Lin Wan was also a little nervous at this moment, after all, this was a crucial moment concerning her future.

He placed his right hand on the crystal ball and felt a suction force coming from it.

The crystal ball instantly emitted a strong golden light.

However, Lin Wan's expression was somewhat strange at this moment within the magic array.

[Ding! A small amount of high-purity, medium-strength energy has been detected, which meets the system's minimum startup threshold. System startup in progress...]

【進度1%……10%……50%……90%……100%】

System activation successful, connection program started.

[Connection successful, character panel open, newbie gift pack has been sent to system space]

[Host: Lin Wan (6 years old)]

[Martial Soul: Nine-Tailed Fox]

[Innate Soul Power: Level 10]

[Reputation Points: 100 (Initial Activation Bonus)]

From the outside, the scene inside the magic circle appeared as Lin Wan's right hand pressed against the crystal ball, which indeed emitted a dazzling golden light.

However, the light only flashed for a moment before disappearing instantly, leaving only a thin layer of light inside the crystal ball.

Anxi looked at the crystal ball again in disbelief, and after confirming that there was only a thin layer, the expectation in his eyes vanished instantly.

He raised his head and looked at Lin Wan with an incredibly complex expression.

He didn't expect that a martial soul with such high quality would only have a level one innate soul power.

He sighed as he looked at Lin Wan's thin body, guessing that her weak constitution had damaged her innate foundation.

“Innate Soul Power Level 1.” Anxi’s voice returned to calm.

Looking at Lin Wan, who was still in a daze within the magic circle, he spoke with rare kindness: "Little friend, the awakening is over, and you can become a Soul Master now."

Lin Wan snapped out of her daze and calmly said, "Thank you, Soul Master."

He stepped out of the formation and stood to the side.

Those children who hadn't awakened their soul power looked at Lin Wan with envy, and even some jealousy.

They wouldn't be jealous of Gouwa because the gap between them and Gouwa was too great, so great that they could only look up to him. After all, even the noble Soul Masters of the Spirit Hall treated Gouwa with great kindness.

But Lin Wan was different. Although he had also awakened his soul power, it was only at level 1. The respected soul masters of the Spirit Hall treated him no differently than they did.

Therefore, in addition to envy, they also felt great jealousy.

Why is it that a frail orphan can awaken soul power while the others do not?

Lin Wan didn't care about the children's jealousy and malice, after all, he had awakened his martial spirit and would soon be leaving Hanbei Village.

The children who awakened after Lin Wan were basically all useless martial spirits, none of them had soul power.

Chapter 5 Grassland of Douluo Continent

After the Martial Soul Awakening ended, Anxi did not leave immediately, but chose to stay in Hanbei Village a little longer.

After all, he had just awakened a genius with innate soul power level 7. If he could lead this genius to join the Spirit Hall, the benefits he would receive would be unimaginable.

As Lin Wan walked out of the Martial Soul Branch Hall, she saw Old Drus walk quickly to Anxi's side and cautiously ask, "Lord Anxi, how did the awakening go this time?"

Anxi, abandoning his previous calm demeanor, spoke with a gentle expression: "Two people from your village have soul power this time. One of them has innate soul power at level 7, and the other has level 1."

The awakening of soul power by the two individuals was undoubtedly a huge surprise for the entire Hanbei Village.

In the Heavenly Dou Empire, there is a fundamental difference in treatment between villages with Soul Masters and those without.

"Thank you, Lord Anxi, for helping our village awaken a Soul Master."

On the other side, Gouwa still followed Lin Wan blankly. He had no idea what level 7 innate soul power meant, and instead looked at Lin Wan with a grin.

"Brother Wan, when do you think the village will let us eat?"

Looking at the carefree dog in front of her, whose mind was still preoccupied with eating, Lin Wan smiled helplessly.

Gouwa treated Lin Wan sincerely, and Lin Wan naturally wanted to provide Gouwa with the best possible future. Moreover, Gouwa's innate soul power was level 7, and as long as he continued to grow step by step, his future achievements were destined to be remarkable.

He turned to Gouwa and whispered, "Gouwa, go join the Spirit Hall."

Lin Wan's decision to have Gouwa join the Spirit Hall was a well-considered one, even though in the original timeline of Douluo Continent, the Spirit Hall existed as the protagonist's antagonist.

However, for ordinary Soul Masters in Douluo Continent, joining the Spirit Hall is still the best choice.

Moreover, Gouwa's innate soul power of level 7 is considered excellent even in the entire Douluo Continent.

After joining the Spirit Hall, he will definitely be valued, and the Spirit Hall's Soul Masters will assign him tasks to ensure he receives the best development.

As for why Lin Wan didn't let Gouwa stay with him, it was because there might be danger for Gouwa to be with him.

This is not an unfounded conjecture by Lin Wan, but a reasonable assumption.

As the largest organization in the entire Douluo Continent, would the Spirit Hall really be willing to watch geniuses slip through its fingers and join other organizations?

If Lin Wan were from the Spirit Hall, he would definitely not be willing.

Moreover, Lin Wan had inquired and found out that the current Pope of the Spirit Hall was still Qian Xunji.

Gouwa can at least continue his cultivation peacefully for several decades.

"Okay, I'll listen to Wan-ge."

Gouwa scratched his head and grinned foolishly as he agreed, "That night, brother, let's join the Spirit Hall together."

"No, I won't join."

Lin Wan shook her head as she looked at Gouwa. The Spirit Hall had determined that his innate soul power was only level 1, so he definitely couldn't join.

Moreover, now that Lin Wan has a system, it's inconvenient for him to do things after joining the Spirit Hall.

Gouwa pouted, "I can't bear to part with Brother Wan."

Lin Wan stood on tiptoe and reached out to pat Gouwa's head.

"It's alright, we'll definitely meet again in the future."

"Really?" Gouwa was skeptical; he didn't quite believe Lin Wan.

"real."

……

After being persuaded by Lin Wan, Gouwa finally chose to join the Spirit Hall.

When Anxi heard that Gouwa was going to join the Spirit Hall, he could hardly contain his smile.

Then she learned that Gouwa was an orphan. Although he tried his best to show sympathy, Lin Wan could still see the joy in his eyes.

After all, an orphan, especially one with great talent, is good news for the Spirit Hall.

To avoid any unforeseen complications, Anxi immediately decided to lead Gouwa directly to the Spirit Hall branch in Tianshuang City that day and then transmit this good news to Spirit City.

Although Old Drus was very happy that two children with soul power had awakened, there was only one work-study spot available in Hanbei Village.

Since Hanbei Village operates on a cooperative model, he originally planned to raise funds in the village to cover tuition fees so that another child could also attend the Elementary Soul Master Academy.

Upon hearing that Gouwa could join the Spirit Hall, his wrinkled face broke into a wide grin.

Join the Spirit Hall!

For ordinary people who lack spiritual power, this is like a pie falling from the sky.

From then on, their village could still benefit from the influence of the Spirit Hall, since their village's genius spirit master was about to join the Spirit Hall.

With Gouwa joining the Spirit Hall, the only work-study spot naturally fell to Lin Wan.

Old Drew squinted and smiled, "Xiao Wan, you'll stay with me tonight."

"Thank you, Grandpa Drew."

Lin Wan looked at the somewhat ingratiating smile on Old Drews' face and nodded.

Lin Wan knew Old Drews's intentions and was willing to go along with it.

He is not an ungrateful person; he has lived to this day thanks in no small part to the care of old Drews.

He silently kept this friendship in his heart, waiting for Lin Wan to repay it in the future.

Old Drew's house wasn't big, but it was clean and tidy.

After giving Lin Wan a simple place to sit, old Drews went to prepare lunch with a smile.

Today, thanks to the return of the grain team, every household in Hanbei Village has a rare surplus of grain.

It's clear that old Drus is planning to give the future Soul Master a special lesson today.

After Old Drews left, Lin Wan finally had time to properly study his martial soul and system.

With a slight thought, Lin Wan felt a warm power surging from his dantian and flowing into his right hand.

A faint, dreamlike white-pink halo spread around him, carrying an aura of allure and holiness.

Guided by Lin Wan's thoughts, a small and exquisite fox phantom quickly appeared on his right hand.

Top-tier martial soul, Nine-Tailed Fox, a type of nine-tailed fox.
