Douro Continent

Chapter 7 Useless Martial Soul and Innate Full Soul Power (Part Two)

Tang San agreed and then walked out of the blacksmith shop.

Led by Old Jack, Tang San followed him to the Spirit Hall in the center of the village. Of course, this so-called Spirit Hall was just a large wooden house.

Because everyone possesses a Martial Soul, and every year children undergo Martial Soul awakening, the Spirit Hall can be found anywhere in the Douluo Continent. Of course, these are just branch halls, at different levels.

This year, a total of eight children in Holy Soul Village underwent Martial Soul Awakening, and Tang San, led by Old Jack, was the last to arrive.

The village children didn't think much of Tang San. This tendency to look down on the poor and favor the rich wasn't just limited to nobles; it was even more pronounced among commoners. Tang San, having lived two lives, was already well over thirty and naturally didn't want to associate with these children. For him, extra time was better spent cultivating. Therefore, he had no childhood playmates.

Besides Village Chief Jack and the eight children who had arrived, there was also a young man from the Spirit Hall. He appeared to be in his early twenties, with striking features, sharp eyebrows, and a handsome appearance. He wore a white, fitted outfit with a black cloak on his back, and a fist-sized "Soul" character was displayed in the center of his chest. This was the standard attire for Spirit Hall personnel.

On his left chest was a badge engraved with three intertwined longswords. Someone like Jack, who was very familiar with Soul Masters, knew that the number three represented the third-rank title of a Soul Master, Great Soul Master, while the longswords indicated that this deacon from the Spirit Hall was a Battle Soul Master.

"Hello, esteemed Master of War Souls, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you this time." Old Jack bowed respectfully to the young man.

The young man's brows revealed a hint of pride. He gave a slight, nonchalant bow in return, saying, "I don't have much time. Let's begin now."

Old Jack said, "Alright. Children, this is a Soul Master from Notting City. He will guide you in awakening your own Martial Souls. You must cooperate well with the Master during your Martial Soul awakening. Grandpa looks forward to seeing some of you become Soul Masters."

The young man said impatiently, "Alright, you said the same things last year. Is becoming a Soul Master really that easy? I've already visited six villages, and not a single person has Soul Power. Nor do I have a suitable Martial Soul."

A hint of sadness flickered in Old Jack's eyes. He sighed and said, "Yes! Only the inheritors of the major sects are most likely to become Soul Masters. It's just too difficult for us ordinary people." Shaking his head, he walked out of the Spirit Hall.

The young man's gaze fell on the eight children in front of him. As a patrolling deacon of the Spirit Hall, helping ordinary people awaken their spirits was his job, and he was already used to it. "Children, stand in a line." His attitude towards these children was much gentler.

The eight children stood before the young man, with Tang San on the far left. He was smaller and thinner than other children his age.

The young man smiled and said, "My name is Su Yuntao, a level 26 Great Soul Master, and I will be your guide. Now, I will guide you through the Martial Soul Awakening process one by one. Remember, no matter what happens, do not be afraid."

As he spoke, Su Yuntao opened his package on the table next to him and took out two items: six black, round stones and a shiny blue crystal ball.

Su Yuntao arranged six black stones in a hexagon on the ground and then gestured for the first child on the right to stand in it.

"Don't be afraid, close your eyes and feel carefully." As he spoke, Su Yuntao's eyes suddenly lit up, and under the children's horrified gazes, he whispered, "Lone Wolf, possess."

A faint blue light first emanated from the center of his brow, then traveled upwards along the brow and entered his hair bun.

Su Yuntao's hair was originally black, but when the azure light was injected, it instantly turned gray and quickly grew longer, with the same color hair appearing on his bare hands. At the same time, his body also seemed to have swelled up considerably, his entire body filled with muscles.

The Spirit Hall's special uniform was very elastic and didn't burst despite his increased size. Su Yuntao's eyes had turned a ghostly green, and the sharp claws protruding from his ten fingers gleamed with a faint, cold light. Two halos of light emanated from beneath his feet, constantly swirling from his feet to the top of his head. One was white, the other yellow. It was utterly eerie.

The one he called into the black stone was a boy. Seeing the changes in Su Yuntao's body, he suddenly screamed, "Ah—" and was about to run away in fright.

The gleaming green light in Su Yuntao's eyes was indeed frightening. He grabbed the child and said, "Don't move. I told you not to be afraid. This is my martial soul, Lone Wolf. If any of you become a Soul Master in the future, you will use the same ability."

The only one who wasn't too afraid was Tang San, but he immediately activated his full power when Su Yuntao underwent a change.

More than surprise, Tang San was filled with curiosity. Gray fur and green eyes—these were indeed wolf characteristics. Did possessing a Martial Soul transform a person into a wolf? No, that wasn't right. It should be about possessing the abilities of a wolf. If so, then the profession of Soul Master should be about making better use of the Martial Soul's abilities.

For the first time, Tang San discovered that he was interested in the profession of Soul Master, and he was now eager to know what his Martial Soul was.

Su Yuntao swiftly clapped his hands, and six faint green lights were injected into the six black stones on the ground. Instantly, a layer of golden light was released from the six stones, forming a pale golden light shield that enveloped the child.
