“Okay,” testing the soul power wouldn’t waste too much time. As he spoke, he handed the blue crystal ball to Tang San.
Following the method Master Su Yun Tao had taught him before, Tang San controlled the retraction of his Bluesilver Grass into his body. He found that it was not difficult; as long as he retracted his power in the same way he controlled the Mysterious Heaven Method, he could do it. At the same time, he also discovered that the Bluesilver Grass seemed to appear whenever his Mysterious Heaven Method surged, as if the blue grass was formed by the condensation of the Mysterious Heaven Method.
The moment his palm touched the blue crystal ball, Tang San’s body shook violently. To his surprise, the beautiful-looking blue crystal ball had a tremendous suction force, and his Inner Strength gushed out as if it had found an outlet. He wanted to break free, but he couldn’t escape the strong suction no matter how hard he tried.
Master Su Yun Tao was equally astonished. When he thought this last soul power test in Holy Soul Village was just a formality, suddenly, the blue crystal ball in his hands lit up. The dazzling blue light spread instantaneously from a single point, and in the blink of an eye, the crystal ball shone like a brilliant gemstone. The faint blue halo it emitted was indescribably beautiful.
According to the traditional test, if the crystal ball showed even the slightest response, even a glimmer of light, it proved the presence of soul power in the test subject. The dazzling light shining within the blue crystal ball at this moment could only mean one explanation.
“My God, it’s innate full soul power,” the blue glow released from Master Su Yun Tao once again. The crystal ball pushed Tang San’s hand away, and at this point, his gaze towards the boy in front of him was completely different. He looked as if he were seeing a monster.
Tang San naturally noticed the difference between his test and the other children’s and asked in confusion, “Uncle, what is innate full soul power?”
Master Su Yun Tao stared blankly at him and explained subconsciously, “When everyone’s Martial Soul awakens, 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 their Martial Soul awakens, just like the children before. They are destined never to become Soul Masters. But as long as there’s a trace of soul power, even if it’s just a sliver, one can cultivate through meditation. During Martial Soul Awakening, the amount of soul power is vital, as it determines the starting point of the Soul Master’s cultivation. The higher the innate soul power, the faster the subsequent cultivation speed, and of course, because of the high starting point, one will naturally lead others. ‘Innate full soul power’ refers to the highest level of soul power one can have upon Martial Soul Awakening.”
“The highest soul power?” Tang San looked at Master Su Yun Tao. His mind raced. He didn’t know about his own soul power, but he was certain that the blue crystal ball’s suction was taking his Mysterious Heaven Method’s Inner Strength. Could it be that his Inner Strength had become Soul Power in this world?
Perhaps because of the shock of Tang San’s innate full soul power, Master Su Yun Tao explained tirelessly, “Our Martial Soul levels are like this, every ten levels is a title. As soon as the Martial Soul awakens, you are automatically called a Soul Scholar. Of course, that would be a level 1 Soul Scholar. The soul power level is determined based on its strength. ‘Innate full soul power’ means that upon awakening, the soul power can reach the highest innate level of ten. I’ve never met anyone with innate full soul power before. When I awakened, I only had level 2 soul power.”
By now, Tang San had regained his composure. Having finally found a real Soul Master, he naturally wouldn’t let go of the opportunity and quickly voiced the doubts in his heart, “Is the Martial Soul power limited to level 10 at birth? Can it not go any higher?”
Master Su Yun Tao’s blue glow faded as he retracted his Martial Soul possession, “Of course not. Ascending in power as a Soul Master is not so easy. To reach a new title, not only must one’s soul power reach the peak of the previous title, but one must also obtain a Soul Ring. Without a Soul Ring, no matter how hard you cultivate, you cannot enter the next title. Just like you now, since you have reached innate full soul power, if you want to improve your soul power further, it’s not just about meditation – you must first obtain a Soul Ring and then continue cultivating after reaching the next level.”
Tang San suddenly realized, “A Soul Ring, is that the halo you had just now? You’re level 26, so you have two Soul Rings.”
Master Su Yun Tao nodded and said, “Exactly. Your case is very special. Innate full soul power is a once-in-a-century genius. Such a pity, really too bad. To have such a wasted Martial Soul. Even if your Martial Soul were just an agricultural tool, it would be much stronger than the wasted Martial Soul Bluesilver Grass. If that were the case, I could…”
“`
He didn’t continue, but Tang San vaguely understood his meaning, although the veil in his heart seemed to have been lifted.
Tang San had always been a contemplative person, in his previous life as well as this one. According to Su Yuntao’s words, if Soul Power really was connected to his own Inner Strength, then the Inner Strength he cultivated in this world had become Soul Power and the reason he was unable to enter the second realm of the Mysterious Heaven Method was because of that so-called Soul Ring. In other words, if he wanted to improve further, he must obtain a Soul Ring like a Soul Master. But what exactly was a Soul Ring?
Just as Tang San was about to continue asking, Su Yuntao had already picked up his belongings and walked towards the outside.
“Old Jack.”
The door opened, and Old Jack met Su Yuntao with a nervous face, “Master, how did it go? Do any of the children in our village have the potential to become Soul Masters this year?”
Looking at him, Su Yuntao sighed and said, “There is indeed one, but it’s a pity.”
Jack’s eyes revealed a look of surprise and doubt as he tentatively asked, “Master, who exactly is it…?”
Su Yuntao said, “Among the eight children this year, there is only one with Soul Power, and moreover, he has Innate full Soul Power. However, his Martial Soul is Bluesilver Grass. You understand?”
“Bluesilver Grass? Innate full Soul Power? My god.” The disappointment on Jack’s face was even more severe than Su Yuntao’s. Having served as the village head for so many years, he naturally understood what Innate full Soul Power signified. But for Innate full Soul Power to appear in someone with a Bluesilver Grass Martial Soul, it really was…
“Master, is there really no way to cultivate the Bluesilver Grass?” Jack asked with a frown.
Su Yuntao could feel Old Jack’s mood and had lost the pride he had shown at the start; patting Old Jack on the shoulder, he said, “It’s not that it’s completely impossible to cultivate. However, what do you think the Bluesilver Grass will evolve into as the Martial Soul grows? A wasted Martial Soul will always be a wasted Martial Soul. Even if he becomes a Soul Master, I fear he will be a waste Soul Master. It’s truly a pity for the Innate full Soul Power. Alright, I must go now, I still have to visit the next village.”
Without waiting for Tang San to continue asking, Su Yuntao left the village. Without Su Yuntao around, Tang San could only rush to Jack and ask the question he was most eagerly wanting to know, “Grandpa Jack, what is a Soul Ring? How can one obtain a Soul Ring?”
Old Jack seemed still to be pondering Su Yuntao’s words and subconsciously answered, “I don’t know what a Soul Ring is either. It seems that to obtain a Soul Ring, one has to hunt soul beasts. It’s a very dangerous thing that only Soul Masters would do.”
