Douro Continent

Chapter 53 Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique (Part 1)

The two gatekeepers at the entrance both appeared to be around twenty years old, and their soul power fluctuations were not obvious; they didn't even seem to have reached the level of a Soul Master. It seems Notting City is indeed remote; the level of the Spirit Hall alone reveals the city's importance within the Heaven Dou Empire.

"Uncle, hello. I'm a first-year student at Notting Junior Soul Master Academy. My teacher asked me to come here to have my Martial Soul level assessed," Tang San said, pointing to his school uniform.

Upon seeing the Notting Academy logo on Tang San's school uniform, both gatekeepers instinctively revealed a glint of envy in their eyes. The gatekeeper who had spoken earlier said, "I see. Then you can go in. Go to the reception hall on the first floor and find Grand Soul Master Matthew there; he will help you."

"Thank you," Tang San replied and hurriedly entered the Spirit Hall.

The two gatekeepers followed him into the Spirit Hall with envious glances. One of them said, "If I could have afforded to attend Notting Academy back then, I might be a Spirit Master by now. Hmm, Notting Academy should have its own tools for testing Spirit Power. They only come here when they're advancing in rank. Why is this kid coming to our Spirit Hall?"

"Who knows? It's alright, he's just a kid. Maybe his teacher sent him to deliver a message or something, but they can't say it outright."

The sheer grandeur of a twenty-meter-high dome was immediately apparent to Tang San as he entered the Spirit Hall. The entire dome was covered in murals, each small square depicting various spirit symbols. The background was a shimmering gold, giving it a magnificent yet ancient feel.

The Spirit Hall is surrounded by huge crystal windows. Sunlight refracts through the transparent crystal windows and shines on the murals, making the golden light even more dazzling and mesmerizing.

Where is the reception hall? Having absorbed the atmosphere of the hall, Tang San began searching for his destination.

There weren't many people inside the Spirit Hall; only a few servants were cleaning around. Just as Tang San was wondering how to find the reception hall to ask someone for help, he saw a familiar face. It was Su Yuntao, the Great Spirit Master who had helped him awaken his Spirit, possessing the Lone Wolf Spirit.

Tang San quickly went to meet her. At this time, there was a female soul master with Su Yuntao. She was tall and voluptuous, and her appearance was above average. The two were chatting and laughing, and did not notice the little Tang San approaching.

"Master Su Yuntao," Tang San called out.

Su Yuntao then noticed his arrival. The female Soul Master beside him exclaimed in surprise, "How come our Spirit Hall has such a young child? Is it another noble's son who has come to our Spirit Hall for Spirit Awakening?"

Su Yuntao didn't recognize Tang San at a glance. After all, there were too many children who had awakened their martial souls through him, and Tang San's current appearance was no longer as shabby as before.

"Who are you?"

Seeing Su Yuntao's questioning gaze, Tang San quickly explained, "Master Su Yuntao, I am Tang San, the one whose Blue Silver Grass martial soul you awakened in Holy Soul Village last time, Tang San who is born with full soul power."

"So it was you. What are you doing here?" Since innate full soul power makes people remember you, Su Yuntao immediately thought of Tang San.

Tang San said, "My teacher asked me to come to the Spirit Hall for an advancement assessment and to test my Spirit Power value."

Su Yuntao was taken aback. "You've already obtained your first spirit ring? So fast. This school uniform is from Notting Academy, right? As expected of the best academy in Notting City, the teachers are really responsible."

Su Yuntao's female companion seemed somewhat displeased at being ignored. "Yuntao, aren't you going to introduce me?"

Seeing that his female companion seemed somewhat displeased, Su Yuntao quickly tried to appease her, saying, "Sisi, this is the child I mentioned to you who was born with full soul power. It's a pity his martial soul is Blue Silver Grass. Otherwise, his future would be limitless! He has already obtained a soul ring and can be considered a soul master. Please wait here for me for a moment, I'll take him to Master Matthew's place in the reception hall."

When Sisi heard Su Yuntao say that Tang San had innate full soul power, her eyes lit up noticeably. But when she heard that Tang San's innate full soul power was actually above the Blue Silver Grass martial soul, the surprise on her face turned into a hint of contempt. She nodded and said, "Go ahead, I'll wait for you here."

"Thank you." Su Yuntao made a good impression on Tang San; he was considered a responsible deacon in the Spirit Hall.

Su Yuntao led Tang San up the steps to the second floor of the Spirit Hall. Once on the second-floor corridor, Tang San saw a row of rooms, and from there he could also see the lobby on the first floor. Without a doubt, this was where the Spirit Hall was located.

Su Yuntao was clearly eager to be with Sisi. He quickly led Tang San to a room and pushed the door open without knocking.

"Who is this, acting so recklessly?" A somewhat aged voice came from inside the room. It was a bright office, and behind a large desk sat an old man, dressed in neat Soul Master attire, with the standard three sword insignia on his body, indicating that he was a Great Soul Master-level Battle Soul Master.

"So it's Yun Tao. Why are you still so reckless? Soul Master cultivation requires concentration. It's better to be more composed. Otherwise, you'll end up like me, unable to even cross the threshold of level 30."

Su Yuntao complained somewhat, "Master Matthew, please stop nagging. This child is here for an advancement assessment, thank you for your help."

Su Yuntao clearly had a good relationship with the old Soul Master. The old Soul Master chuckled, and when his gaze fell on Tang San, he couldn't help but be somewhat surprised, "Yuntao, are you sure this child is here for an advancement assessment and not for Martial Soul Awakening?"
