Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Ten Ferocious Heavenly Horned Ant

He waved his hand, signaling the next child who was eager to come to the Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony, while Dong Qing went to Village Chief Jack's side by himself.

Village Chief Jack stretched out his aged hands and slowly ruffled Dongqing's hair.

Then, with a kind expression, he said, "Xiao Qing, there is no doubt that your talent in martial spirit and innate soul power far surpasses that of ordinary soul masters. Otherwise, the deacon would not have been so surprised."

"Of course! I'm a genius. Although I don't know exactly what my martial soul is yet, just thinking about it, I know it must be extraordinary," Dong Qing said proudly, puffing out his chest.

Although he was a time traveler.

But he adheres to one principle: to play his role well.

Children are just children; they can play carefree and don't need to think about the future all the time.

Because sometimes, fate is something you can't fight against at all, so living well in the present is the most important thing.

And at this time.

As if he had thought of something, Village Chief Jack spoke again: "Xiao Qing, the deacon will probably invite you to join the Spirit Hall later. I hope you won't refuse him."

Join the Spirit Hall?

The three beauties of the Spirit Hall...so beautiful!

Unclean thoughts surged in Dongqing's mind, and strange images began to surface.

But soon.

He realized that what he was thinking was unrealistic, and these impure thoughts returned to nothingness.

Who is Bibi Dong?

How could she possibly be interested in an ordinary man like me? Besides, I'm currently powerless to do anything about it.

"Grandpa Jack, why? Do you really want me to join the Spirit Hall?" Dong Qing asked curiously, tilting her little face up.

His eyes were innocent and naive, like those of a child who knew nothing of the world.

Looking at Dongqing's puzzled and curious little face.

Village Chief Jack looked up at Su Yuntao and saw that he was still helping the other children in the village, selflessly expending his own soul power to awaken his martial soul.

To avoid disturbing the butler during the conversation.

He gently took Dongqing's little hand and led her out of the clean wooden house.

“A long, long time ago, if ordinary people like us wanted to awaken our martial spirit, we had to go to the city and spend a lot of money to have a soul master awaken it.”

"But for most of us ordinary people, the martial souls we awaken are just ordinary hoes, sickles, and blue silver grass. And those who also possess innate soul power are one in ten thousand."

"At that time, many people from poor families had no choice but to give up on awakening their martial souls because they simply couldn't afford to hire a soul master to help them awaken their martial souls."

"If you haven't even awakened your Martial Soul, how can you talk about cultivating Soul Power? In that desperate era, I don't know how many peerless geniuses like you, Xiao Qing, were helplessly forgotten because no one helped them awaken their Martial Soul."

As Chief Jack spoke, his eyes welled up with tears, as if he were recalling events from a long time ago.

However, he quickly regained control of his emotions, and the tears only flashed briefly at the corner of his eyes.

He raised a withered, aged hand and quietly wiped away the tear that had spilled from the corner of his eye.

"But since the Spirit Hall gradually rose from the continent, we ordinary people have also ushered in our own good fortune. They sent a large number of low-level deacons to help us villagers who had nothing to awaken our spirits for free."

"The only thing the Spirit Hall asks for is to establish a Spirit Hall branch in every village. As long as it exists, no matter how dilapidated or simple the Spirit Hall branch is, every year a Spirit Hall deacon will personally come to the village to help us awaken our spirits for free."

"Now, Xiaoqing, can you understand why Grandpa wants you to join the Spirit Hall?"

He finished speaking.

Village Chief Jack gently patted Dongqing on the shoulder, his heart filled with complex emotions.

"Grandpa Jack, do you hope I can help more ordinary soul masters?" Dong Qing asked, scratching his head.

He really didn't know anything about what happened before the Spirit Hall appeared; he hadn't seen any related plots in the anime he watched in his previous life.

He never imagined that before the Spirit Hall appeared, awakening a spirit required money, and that ordinary families couldn't afford it.

Thinking about this...

Dong Qing glanced at Tang San not far away and suddenly felt an urge to beat him to death.

However, he remembered a scruffy, burly man he had sensed before... This man was stingy and liked to bully the weak.

After thinking seriously for a few seconds with his chin in his hand, Dong Qing decided to give up this overly risky idea, since his own life was more important.

Village Chief Jack said kindly, "Of course, Grandpa hopes that you can help more commoner Soul Masters, but in the end, it all depends on your own wishes. If you are unwilling, don't force yourself. Grandpa just hopes that you can live happily."

"I understand, Grandpa Jack!"

Dong Qing nodded seriously, having already made his decision.

Chapter 4, Tang San's Tragedy

Meanwhile, the Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony is in full swing.

Su Yuntao was filled with hope that he could discover a second genius, but in the end, the two of them still did not find a child with the potential to become a Soul Master.

Six children awakened their martial souls in succession, and their martial souls were all things like hoes and sickles, or blue silver grass. Not a single beast martial soul appeared during this period.

As for soul power, Su Yuntao judged it to be 'none'.

Soon, it was the second-to-last child's turn, and he gently placed his small, tender hand on the blue crystal ball.

A moment later.

Su Yuntao said with some disappointment, "Without soul power, you can't become a soul master. Go to the side first."

Then Su Yuntao turned his gaze to the last person, Tang San, and gently beckoned to him, inviting him to stand on the Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony platform.

Finally, it was the last child's turn. Su Yuntao was already somewhat exhausted from continuously using his soul power.

But he still intends to help this last child complete the process of awakening their martial spirit.

"Open your palms, don't be nervous, and carefully feel the martial spirit within your body."

Tang San looked on expectantly as he extended his right hand.

Then a magical change occurred in his palm: a pale blue blade of grass slowly appeared in his right palm, swaying gently in the wind.

at the same time.

A martial spirit also appeared in his tightly clenched left palm, which seemed to contain a hard little hammer that felt very uncomfortable.

However, the cautious Tang San chose to keep it a secret and did not show his left palm.

Seeing this, Su Yuntao sighed helplessly.

"Sigh! Another useless martial soul. It seems that apart from Dongqing, none of you eight from Holy Soul Village have the talent to become soul masters. Alright, children, you can leave now."

The appearance of Dongqing's mutated martial soul and innate full soul power had initially given him great hope, as he thought he might be able to discover many children with soul power talents this time.

In the end, however, only Dong Qing remained. This huge sense of disappointment left Su Yuntao speechless.

"Sir, you haven't tested my soul power yet."

Tang San's tone became somewhat hurried when he saw Su Yuntao about to put away the blue crystal ball.

Su Yuntao said without turning his head, "No need to try. I've never seen anyone with soul power from Blue Silver Grass, a useless martial soul. I know you all envy Dong Qing, but geniuses are always a minority. If you have to accept your fate, then you have to accept it."

"Are you resigned to your fate?"

Tang San stared blankly at Dong Qing, then looked at the Blue Silver Grass martial soul in his right palm, and for a moment, he felt a mix of emotions.

Just as he was about to reveal the small hammer martial soul in his left palm to impress Su Yuntao and have him test his soul power, a deep cough sounded.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Tang Hao's somewhat disheveled figure appeared outside the Martial Soul Branch Hall of Holy Soul Village at some unknown time.

Then he gently waved to Tang San and said, "Little San, come home with Daddy."

"I... Dad..."

Tang San seemed somewhat unwilling, as he hadn't even tested his soul power yet.

"Now! Immediately! Come with me."

Tang Hao's expression immediately turned serious, and his tone became unquestionable.

"All right..."

Tang San looked back every few steps, feeling extremely reluctant to leave.

He saw Su Yuntao hurriedly tidy up the six jet-black round stones and a bright blue crystal ball, and then approach Dong Qing to speak.

"What are you looking at? Come home with me."

Tang Hao grabbed Tang San, placed him on his shoulder, and then led him away step by step.

The other children who had not awakened their soul power were also taken back by their respective parents. Although they felt a little disappointed, it was within their expectations.

Leaving aside Dongqing's mutated martial soul and innate full soul power, it is actually rare to see even a child with the talent to cultivate as a soul master in normal times.

It can be said that the awakening of a martial spirit at the age of six is ​​much more brutal than the college entrance examination in some world, because people with innate soul power are extremely rare.

When almost everyone had left, only Dongqing, Village Chief Jack, and Su Yuntao remained, sitting on a large blue stone and discussing something.

"Old Jack, first of all, I have to congratulate you on something. Your grandson Dongqing has the talent to become a Soul Master, and he's the best of the best."

Su Yuntao appeared very amiable at this moment, and the arrogance on his face had long since disappeared.

Village Chief Jack replied, "Well... I still have to thank the deacon for helping me awaken my martial soul, otherwise it would have been difficult for people to discover the enormous potential hidden within Xiao Qing."

He finished speaking.

He stood up to bow, expressing his gratitude to the other party for helping the village children awaken their martial spirits for free over the years without accepting any benefit in return.

Seeing this, Su Yuntao quickly helped him up and said humbly, "These are things we should do, and they are also things that His Holiness the Pope requires us to do. Besides, I am just a commoner Soul Master. Old Jack, you don't need to do this."

Pope Bibi Dong of the Spirit Hall once issued a pardon.

No matter how remote or isolated the village, as long as there is a Martial Soul Branch Hall in the village, no matter how simple it is, one must personally go there to hold the Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony.

This decree was etched in the hearts of ordinary soul masters, who were willing to sacrifice their soul power for it.

Although helping someone awaken their martial soul doesn't require much soul power, it can be restored to its original state by meditating for a while.

However, not everyone is willing to help others awaken their martial spirit; most of them want to make a quick buck.
