Chapter 9 Useless Martial Soul and Innate Full Soul Power (Part 4)

"Alright." Testing his soul power wouldn't waste too much time. As he spoke, he handed the blue crystal ball to Tang San.

Following the method Su Yuntao had taught him, Tang San controlled his Blue Silver Grass to retract into his body. He found it wasn't difficult; as long as he controlled his Xuan Tian Gong in the same way, he could do it. He also noticed that when the Blue Silver Grass appeared, it seemed to be accompanied by a surge of his Xuan Tian Gong, as if the small blue grass was formed from the Xuan Tian Gong itself.

The moment his palm touched the blue crystal ball, Tang San's body trembled violently. He was astonished to discover that the seemingly beautiful blue crystal ball possessed a tremendous suction force, and his internal energy surged forth as if it had found an outlet. He tried to break free, but he couldn't escape the powerful suction force no matter what he did.

Su Yuntao was equally surprised. Just when he thought this final soul power test in Holy Soul Village was merely a formality, the blue crystal ball in his hand suddenly lit up. The dazzling blue light spread instantly from a single point, and in the blink of an eye, the crystal ball sparkled like a brilliant gem. A faint blue halo emanated from it, indescribably captivating.

According to traditional testing, as long as the crystal ball shows even the slightest reaction, even a glimmer of light, it proves that the person being tested possesses soul power. The fact that the blue crystal ball in front of us is shining with such dazzling light can only be explained by one thing.

"My god, he actually has innate full soul power." Azure light emanated from Su Yuntao once more, and the crystal ball deflected Tang San's hand. At this moment, his gaze towards the boy before him had completely changed. It was as if he were looking at a monster.

Tang San naturally noticed that his test results were different from the other children's, and asked in confusion, "Uncle, what is innate full soul power?"

Su Yuntao stared blankly at him, then subconsciously explained, "When a person awakens their Martial Soul, besides the form of the Martial Soul determining its strength, the amount of Soul Power is also crucial. Most people have no Soul Power when they awaken their Martial Soul, like these children before. They are destined never to become Soul Masters. But as long as there is Soul Power, even just a trace, one can cultivate through meditation. And when a Martial Soul awakens, the amount of Soul Power is crucial, determining the starting level of a Soul Master's cultivation. The higher the innate Soul Power, the faster the speed of cultivation. At the same time, because of the high starting point, one will naturally be ahead of others. The so-called innate full Soul Power is the highest innate Soul Power that can be achieved when a Martial Soul awakens."

"Highest soul power?" Tang San looked at Su Yuntao, his mind racing. He didn't know what his own soul power was like, but he was certain that the blue crystal ball responsible for detecting it was absorbing his Xuan Tian Gong internal energy. Could it be that his internal energy had become soul power in this world?

Perhaps because Tang San's innate full soul power had greatly shocked Su Yuntao, he patiently explained, "Our martial soul levels are like this: every ten levels is a title. As long as a martial soul awakens, one can automatically be called a Soul Warrior. Of course, only a level one Soul Warrior. The level is determined by the strength of the martial soul power. The so-called innate full soul power means that after awakening, the soul power can reach the highest level of innate, level ten. I have never met anyone with innate full soul power. When I awakened, I was only at level two soul power."

Tang San had already come to his senses. Having finally found a real Soul Master, he naturally wouldn't give up. He quickly asked the question that had been bothering him, "Is innate Martial Soul Power limited to level ten? Can't it go any higher?"

Su Yuntao's azure light receded, and he withdrew his Martial Soul Possession. "Of course not. Improving a Soul Master's strength isn't that easy. Each leap in rank requires not only reaching the peak of the previous rank in Martial Soul Power, but also obtaining a Soul Ring. Without a Soul Ring, no matter how hard you cultivate, you can't advance to the next rank. For example, like you now, because you've already reached the Innate Full Soul Power level, if you want to continue improving your Soul Power, it's not just about meditation; you must first obtain a Soul Ring and enter the next level before you can continue cultivating."

Tang San suddenly realized, "Spirit rings, are they the halos you were wearing just now? You're level 26, so you have two spirit rings."

Su Yuntao nodded and said, "That's right. Your situation is very special; innate full soul power is a genius that only appears once in a hundred years. It's such a pity, such a real pity. It's actually a useless martial soul. Even if your martial soul is just a farming tool, it's still much stronger than the useless Blue Silver Grass martial soul. In that case, I could also..."

He didn't say anything more, but Tang San vaguely understood what he meant. It was as if a veil had been lifted from his heart.

Tang San has always been a thoughtful person, both in his previous life and in this one. According to Su Yuntao, if soul power is truly interconnected with one's internal energy, then the internal energy he cultivated in this world becomes soul power. The reason his Xuan Tian Gong couldn't advance to the second level was because of the so-called soul ring. In other words, if he wanted to improve further, he needed to obtain a soul ring like a soul master. But what exactly is a soul ring?

Just as Tang San was about to ask more questions, Su Yuntao picked up his bundle and walked outside.

"Old Jack."

The door opened, and Old Jack greeted Su Yuntao with a nervous expression. "Master, how did it go? Is there any chance that any of the children in our village will become Soul Masters this year?"

Su Yuntao looked at him, sighed, and said, "There is one, but it's a pity."

A look of surprise and uncertainty crossed Jack's eyes as he tentatively asked, "Master, what exactly is that...?"

Su Yuntao said, "Of these eight children this year, only one possesses soul power, and he even has innate full soul power. Unfortunately, his martial soul is Blue Silver Grass. Do you understand?"

"Blue Silver Grass? Innate full soul power? My god." Jack's expression of disappointment was even more severe than Su Yuntao's. Having been the village chief for so many years, he naturally understood what innate full soul power meant. But for innate full soul power to appear on a Blue Silver Grass martial soul was truly...

"Master, is there really no way to cultivate Blue Silver Grass?" Jack asked, frowning.

Su Yuntao could sense Old Jack's feelings, and his initial pride had vanished. He patted Old Jack on the shoulder and said, "It's not that it's completely impossible to cultivate. However, what do you think the Blue Silver Grass will evolve into as your martial soul improves? A useless martial soul is still a useless martial soul. Even if you become a Soul Master, you'll probably be a useless one. It's such a waste to have such innate full soul power. Alright, I'll be going now; I still have to go to the next village."

Su Yuntao left the village before Tang San could ask any more questions. Without Su Yuntao, Tang San could only run to Jack and ask the question he most urgently wanted to know, "Grandpa Jack, what are spirit rings? How can one obtain spirit rings?"

Old Jack seemed to still be pondering Su Yuntao's words, and subconsciously replied, "I don't know what a spirit ring is either. To obtain a spirit ring, it seems you have to hunt spirit beasts. That's a very dangerous thing, and only spirit masters would do it."
