Douro Continent

Chapter 54 Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique (Part Two)

Su Yuntao smiled wryly, "Of course I'm sure, this child's martial soul is the one I awakened. He's the one I mentioned to you, the one with innate full soul power, but whose martial soul is Blue Silver Grass. He's already obtained his soul ring, so I'll have to trouble you. Sisi is still waiting for me, I'll be going now." After saying that, he patted Tang San on the shoulder and hurriedly walked out.

Watching Su Yuntao's departing figure, the old Soul Master Matthew shook his head helplessly. "Another young man blinded by love. It's a pity that Sisi isn't suitable for him. That girl's heart is too big; how could you possibly restrain her?"

Tang San stood in front of Matthew's desk, feeling slightly anxious as he listened to Matthew's muttering to himself. "Hello, Master Matthew."

Matthew smiled at Tang San and said, "Child, there's no need to call me Master. I'm hardly a master. Just call me Grandpa Matthew. I'm eighty-one years old this year. I should be old enough to be your grandfather, right?"

The old man's kind and gentle voice immediately increased Tang San's goodwill towards him, and he quickly greeted him again, "Hello, Grandpa Matthew."

Matthew smiled slightly and said, "Come on, I'll take you for your advancement assessment. You're a very polite child. It's a pity your martial soul is Blue Silver Grass."

As he spoke, Matthew took Tang San's hand as if he were leading his grandson and walked out of his office, heading towards the inner side of the Spirit Hall along the second-floor corridor.

When they reached the end of the corridor, three tall arched doors appeared before Tang San.

Matthew smiled and said, "This is the Spirit Hall's advanced spirit assessment laboratory. Come on, child."

As he spoke, he pushed open the leftmost door and led Tang San inside.

Upon entering the room, Tang San had a peculiar feeling; the internal energy of his Xuan Tian Gong seemed to be pulsating slightly in a peculiar rhythm.

The room is spacious and tall, measuring 200 square meters, with a huge floor-to-ceiling window providing ample lighting.

Tang San immediately found the reason for the movement of his internal energy. There were black stones, each about the size of a fist, embedded in the surrounding walls. It seemed that the material was the same as the stone that Su Yuntao used to help him awaken his martial soul.

On the ground, a huge token-shaped sign was carved, with a long sword hanging straight down, pointing directly at the entrance of the gate.

This sign is the same as the one hanging outside the Spirit Hall.

Seeing Tang San notice the patterns on the ground, Grand Soul Master Matthew smiled and said, "This is the lowest level of the Spirit Hall, also known as a branch hall. On the continent, even the smallest cities have Spirit Halls of our size. Above the branch hall are the sub-spirit halls, and one level higher is the main spirit hall. Only large cities possess the main spirit hall. The capitals of the two great empires are the fourth level, the Spirit Holy Temple. The fifth level is the Papal Palace, the most revered place in our Spirit Hall. Above the Papal Palace is the legendary Douluo Hall. Only Soul Masters who have reached the Douluo level are qualified to enter there, and it is the final destination for all Douluo-level and above Soul Masters registered with the Spirit Hall. It's a place all Soul Masters aspire to."

The six levels of Spirit Hall that Matthew mentioned corresponded exactly to the six symbols that Grandmaster mentioned, and Tang San already understood this.

"Thank you for telling me all this, Grandpa Matthew. Can we begin?"

Matthew smiled and said, "Young people these days are all so impatient. Alright. Let's begin now. Unleash your martial spirit and release your spirit rings."

Tang San walked to the center of the ground markings and stood still. He raised his right hand, concentrated his mind, and slowly released the internal energy of the Xuan Tian Gong combined with the heat brought by the Blue Silver Grass martial soul from his palm.

Thick blue silver grass leaves swarmed out, and in an instant they drooped to the ground. Bright hundred-year-old mandala snake soul rings rose from Tang San's feet, moving up and down around his body.

Matthew, who had been wearing a gentle smile, looked utterly astonished when he saw the Blue Silver Grass emerging from Tang San's palm. "This...this is Blue Silver Grass?"

A faint blue light flickered in Tang San's eyes, a unique effect of using the Blue Silver Grass martial soul. "Is there a problem, Grandpa Matthew?"

Matthew rubbed his eyes, making sure he wasn't seeing things. His attention then shifted to the yellow spirit ring on Tang San's body. "A hundred-year spirit ring, so it's a hundred-year spirit ring. No wonder even the Blue Silver Grass has changed so much. Child, I still don't know your name."

"My name is Tang San."

Matthew let out a long breath, calming his excitement. "I can assure you that you have a good mentor at Notting Academy. However, it's already quite remarkable that the mentor at Notting Academy was able to help you hunt the hundred-year-old soul beast. It's a pity that the Blue Silver Grass has too little potential for development; otherwise, you might really have become a great soul master, considering that your martial soul has only been awakened for a few months."

Matthew picked up a yellow crystal ball from the table beside him and walked up to Tang San. "Inject your soul power into it and let me see what level you've reached. Theoretically, you should be eleven..."

Before Matthew could even utter a single word, the crystal ball he handed to Tang San already emitted a hazy yellow light. The light wasn't particularly strong, but it was extremely clear.

"This, this is... level thirteen soul power." Matthew looked at Tang San as if he were a little monster. "Could it be because the soul ring itself is powerful, causing an increase in soul power? But it shouldn't have jumped two levels at once. Child, can you tell me what kind of soul beast you hunted to get this soul ring?"
