In the morning, as the sun was just beginning to rise, the two girls slowly opened their eyes.
They stared blankly at the ceiling for a while, then their vision slowly cleared, and suddenly they sat up at the same time!
Looking around, they couldn't help but feel a little strange as they realized that what had happened the previous day wasn't a dream, but completely real. All these events in just one day felt a little unacceptable, especially for Sily.
Every moment since meeting Shun had been a new wave of excitement. Of course, she didn't hate it; she was still very happy to be with Shun.
The other girl, after a moment of confusion, her vision cleared, then calmly jumped down from the bed, which was slightly higher than her height, and headed towards the door.
Sily did the same, following her, and they went out the door.
Once outside, the two girls began to hear noises and went to investigate. Soon they saw a table and two people sitting at it: Shun and the old man!
"Shun!"
Sily called out and quickly walked over and sat down next to Shun.
Shun noticed their arrival, smiled slightly, "Hey, you're awake. Are you hungry? Grandpa has prepared some food for us. After this, we'll go to awaken our spirits."
At that moment, the girl who had arrived after Sily sat down next to her and, somewhat shyly, said, "Yes, I haven't been able to eat anything for a while..."
The village headman, Grandpa, smiled and said, "That's great! I rarely have guests at my house, so I've prepared a nice meal for you. It would be a shame if you couldn't finish it."
Shun and the two girls nodded in agreement and, without showing much politeness, began to devour the food on the table.
They ate for 10 minutes, and during that time no one spoke.
After finishing their meal, the two girls leaned back comfortably in their chairs, full, and said to Grandpa, "Thank you for the meal."
Shun smiled and said, "Thank you." "Even though you don't know us, you opened your home to us and gave us food. If you have any problems in the future, just tell me, and I'll take care of it for you." After saying this, he extended his hand, and a slight wave of spiritual power formed a shape in his hand—a small, round, blue object with a button.
He gave it to the grandfather, "This is a warning device stamped with my spiritual power. If you have any problems in the future, just press this button. The moment you press the button, I will sense your location and come straight to you."
Grandpa picked up the button and placed it randomly on the table, smiling as he spoke, "Brat, these are things normal people should do. If you truly feel grateful to me, visit me occasionally and eat my meals. Since my wife died, hardly anyone has come to my house, and even though I'm the village headman, there's not much to do in the village, so I get bored alone at home. Even though I go for walks around the village when I'm bored, I'm tired of seeing the same streets every day."
Shun smiled and nodded in agreement.
Shortly after, Grandpa spoke, "A spirit master will soon be coming to the temple in our village to help awaken the spirits of you children. Those who possess spirit power and are somewhat skilled spirit masters, as long as they are from our village, will be sent to the spirit college with the support of our village and trained to become spirit masters in the future. Of course, such talents don't usually emerge from our village; after all, the powers of spirit masters are basically inherited. So, the probability of spirit masters emerging from among ordinary people like us is very small."
Shun and the two girls listened to what he said. Shun knew all this, but he didn't interrupt and let the two girls listen. Actually, from the moment he came into this world, he didn't have a specific purpose; even if the system chose him, it was essentially allowing him to choose, and he didn't care about these kinds of tasks. He didn't care about the rewards either. But if you say he had a purpose, it might be to help these two little girls develop. Of course, he could even raise them directly to the Douluo level, but such development is worthless; the process is more important than the result. Of course, only a being of his own level can understand this; there's nothing more terrifying than the void at the end of the development period...
So, in essence, his purpose in this world is to travel, see the characters he read about and loved in books, and act a little cool. Of course, he won't use his own energy in this process; he'll only equip himself with a standard genius configuration of spirit power and a spirit ring, allowing his spirit to fight, because using his physical body in battle would be pure cheating. Even if this Douluo universe were destroyed, he wouldn't suffer the slightest harm; what's the point of such a battle?
While they were thinking about these things, the grandfather finished speaking and stood up, "The time has come, let's go. Let's go to the spirit hall with the other children from the village and welcome the senior spirit master who is coming."
With that, he walked out the door, and three little children followed behind.
They followed the grandfather, and meanwhile, a few children who saw the grandfather from a distance ran and immediately greeted him, continuing to follow behind. And the children's parents followed behind as well; after all, this was a spirit master, difficult for ordinary people to see. And they also had a little hope in them, hoping that their children had a good talent and would become spirit masters.
In no time, all the children in the village had gathered and started walking towards the temple. When they reached the temple entrance, they stopped and all looked towards the road, anticipating those approaching from afar.
Shun's attention was drawn to an average-looking boy with blue hair. This was Tang San, the main character of the series.
To be honest, he didn't particularly like the main character in this series. He didn't know why, but he always felt a strange aversion towards him. He also couldn't understand why he stole in his sect and then jumped off a cliff; did he have a problem?
After all, as he remembered, he was called the genius of the millennium in the sect, meaning he could quickly reach a level where he could access all the secrets, but instead he chose to steal and commit suicide, why?
Don't talk to me about guilt; those kinds of silly clichés only exist in novels. Oh, wait, we were in a novel, weren't we?
Anyway, it doesn't seem very realistic. That's why I don't like his hypocritical behavior, and he did many things I disliked throughout the series.
At that moment, Tang-san noticed a pair of eyes staring at him and saw Shun. The moment their eyes met, Tang-san's spirit shuddered, and a slight tremor spread from his spine throughout his body. He thought in astonishment, 'What kind of eyes are these? I never felt this way even with our Sect Master, no! The feeling I had with our Sect Master was nothing compared to this! Who is this?!'
Tang-san was terrified, but Shun averted his gaze and didn't think twice. He didn't care about the main character, as long as he wasn't in his way.
Soon, a person on a white horse galloped towards them. Tang-san snapped out of his thoughts and, after glancing at Shun in fear, looked at the approaching person, but the image of those eyes was still in his head.
Soon, a handsome man in a black cloak with blond hair stopped before them on his horse and dismounted. He proudly walked towards the temple and said, "Children who will awaken your spirits, come inside. Let's get this done quickly. I have a few more villages to go to."
The villagers didn't dare show any disobedience and immediately sent their children to the temple.
Shun and the other two girls entered, and many children scattered around, watching Su Yuntao.
"I am Su Yuntao. Today I will awaken your spirits. I am a level 26 Grand Spirit Master, and my profession is Spirit Master in the Spirit Hall."
"Today, in addition to awakening your spirits, I will also test your spirit level and see if you can become a Spirit Master."
"First of all, spirits are divided into two parts: 1. Tool Spirits and 2. Beast Spirits. My spirit is a Beast Spirit. Let me show you!"
His eyes gleamed, and as a white and a yellow spirit ring appeared on him, he said in a deep voice,"Lone wolf, transformation!" he shouted.
Upon this, his height increased by several circles, and his body completely transformed into werewolf form. Several children who witnessed this began to cry. Ignoring them, Su Yuntaou picked up one child and placed him before him, awakening his spirit.
Seeing the child's spirit, he spoke, "This is a handkerchief, a trash spirit. You can only wipe your nose with it when you cry."
The child was disappointed to hear this.
Su Yuntaou took out a blue, transparent sphere and offered it to the child, "Touch this and focus your mind; this will reveal your current spirit level."
The child touched it for a long time, and his face changed expression, but the sphere remained the same.
"In this case, it means you have no spirit power, meaning you can never become a spirit master in your life."
He checked all the children one by one in this way; a pot spirit, an empty bottle spirit, a plate spirit, etc., etc., all had the same zero spirit power.
Su Yuntaou expected this; after all, the probability of an ordinary person's spirit mutating into a powerful spirit was almost zero. In the villages he had awakened over the years, only a handful of such people had emerged. And their abilities weren't very high either; they would probably only reach their own level at most, which only represented the ground floor in the power level of this continent.
When it was Tang's turn and he awakened the blue grass, he similarly called it a trash spirit and summoned another ordinary one, but Tang-san said that the spirit power hadn't been tested. Although Su Yuntao thought it didn't need to be tested, he still tested it, and as in the original story, the entire temple was bathed in the light of the spirit orb, and Su Yuntao's eyes widened in disbelief.
"This is impossible! How can a trash fighting spirit be naturally full of spirit power! This is a joke!"
But after a while, he became sad again, "It's a pity, your talent is very high, but you can't go very far with this trash fighting spirit..."
He really seemed upset. After all, if he could register highly talented people in the spirit hall under his name, he could get a lot of credit and therefore his rank could rise.
After being sad for a while, he came to his senses and summoned Sily.
Sily nervously walked forward, Su Yuntao extended his hand and, repeating the same routine, held it above his head, directing his spiritual power and attempting to awaken his spirit.
Soon, a loud bird chirped in the hall, and a bird slowly appeared above Sily. It was unknown what kind of bird it was, but its wings were completely engulfed in flames! The flames were so hot that the entire hall's temperature rose by several degrees!
Su Yuntao and the others stared in astonishment. Even Shun was surprised; after carefully examining the flame, he realized it was solar fire. He thought a trace of the phoenix flames he'd used to purify his body the day before remained, causing a mutation in his spirit and leading to his current state.
Tang-san even looked at the girl in astonishment; he felt an pressure emanating from his own soul, that this girl's spirit was superior to his own! 'Of course, those who came with this child are not normal people...!'
Tang-san glanced at Shun fearfully out of the corner of his eye. He still hadn't recovered from the shock of that earlier look, and he would probably live with that fear for a long time.
When Su Yuntao finally came to his senses, he excitedly extended the blue orb, "Come on, little girl, if you have spiritual power, I'm sure you'll be born an unparalleled genius on this continent!"
Sily blinked and pressed her hands against the blue orb, a bright light emanating from it and filling the entire hall!
Su Yuntao's hands began to tremble with excitement. Once he calmed down, he looked at Sily seriously and asked, "Little girl, would you be interested in joining the spirit hall? Geniuses like you will be nurtured with great care in the spirit hall."
Sily looked at Su Yuntao, who was looking at her expectantly, and smiled, "I'm sorry, I just want to stay with my master."
Su Yuntao felt great disappointment upon hearing this. But he continued without giving up, "Who is your master?" "If she wishes, she is also invited to join the spirit hall with you."
Making a few exceptions for such a powerful spirit and naturally gifted girl wouldn't be a problem. It would be nothing in return for her earning a powerful douluo title in the spirit hall in the future!
Sily looked at Shun questioningly.
Shun smiled, "It's your decision. Whatever you want, I will always protect you. So don't be afraid and do what you want."
Hearing this, Sily felt a great sense of confidence and excitement. Her feelings for Shun were already at their peak; these words were just adding extra icing to the cake.
Smiling, she said to Su Yuntao, "Okay, I'll join the spirit hall!"
Hearing this, Su Yuntao's heart pounded with excitement, and he finally let out the breath he'd been holding. Joining such a rare seedling in the spirit hall would truly be more rewarding than all the work he'd done in his life, and he didn't want to let something like this slip through his fingers so easily. Finally hearing her answer, he breathed a sigh of relief and laughed heartily, "Good, good!" "I can already see you becoming one of the rare people whose name will be mentioned in the country in the future, HAHAHAHA!"
After a while, he came to his senses and said, "So, after this ceremony, we'll go straight to the spirit hall with your master, do you have any objections?"
Sily looked at Shun again. When Shun nodded, she also nodded in agreement to Su Yuntao.
The little girl couldn't help but feel a strange feeling when she saw the communication between the two of them. She felt as if she was being somewhat ignored. So she walked forward and said, "Uncle, is it my turn?"
Hearing the girl's voice, Su Yuntao finally came to his senses and happily said, "Yes, yes, come on! Let's finish this quickly, I want to go back right away!""Frankly, he didn't expect such a miracle after Sily, so he wanted to finish this quickly, take Sily, and register her in the Hall of Spirits."
The little girl was a little displeased with Su Yuntao's indifferent attitude, but she said nothing, so she stood before him. Su Yuntao extended his hand again, attempting to awaken her spirit.
Soon, a long and imposing sword appeared in the little girl's hand. The sword was in its scabbard, which had cross-shaped blue patterns on it, and the rest was gold. The hilt was blue, and the blade curved upwards. When the sword appeared, the girl placed it vertically on the ground, and a sacred aura emanated from it. The entire space fell silent under its sacred aura, and everyone inexplicably wanted to kneel before it.
Shun, however, was astonished at the sight of the sword. What the hell is this? Aren't these Excalibur and Avalon? Why are items from different anime series appearing on this girl's person? Could it be that I'm not the main character, but this girl? By the way, it seems I haven't even learned her name yet...
Shun felt a little embarrassed upon realizing this.
Su Yuntao, after recovering from his initial shock, looked at the way the girl held the sword, which was taller than herself. It looked comical, but for some reason, he didn't feel like laughing; in fact, he felt a little shocked.
While he had felt a fierce flame and power from the previous girl, he felt the aura of a king who loved his citizens from this one.
'What's happening? I found two exceptionally genius-level little girls in one day. Is this my luck?'
He still felt a little unreal. Such unparalleled geniuses were rarely found even on the continent, but now he had awakened the spirits of two of them in quick succession. He couldn't help but feel a little confused; was his perception wrong? Or had the world changed so much that geniuses were everywhere and we just didn't know about it?
Once he recovered from the awakening of the little girl's spirit, he excitedly looked at the taller sword he held in front of him. When he awakened this sword, he understood its name and power somewhat, but there was something he didn't understand. It had two names in mind?
He didn't know that a person could have two spirits, so he was confused, but then he relaxed, thinking he would ask Shun, and withdrew his spirit. Su Yuntao looked at the blue orb and asked for it. Surprised, Su Yuntao handed it to him. The little girl placed her hand on the blue orb, and just like Sily, the entire temple bloomed with a bright light.
It took Su Yuntao a while to recover from the numbness. "Little girl, would you like to join our spirit hall?"
The little girl didn't hesitate and accepted. After all, Sily and Shun were going to the spirit hall. Shun was her ticket home; how could she leave him!
Su Yuntao felt like he was dreaming. He had accepted two unique geniuses in one day. He thought he had used up all his luck today. At that moment, Shun, the last person remaining, stepped forward and smiled slightly. "Excuse me, could you awaken my spirit as well?"
Su Yuntao couldn't help but feel a little shocked when she saw the boy. What a handsome child! Despite being only 6 years old, he possessed an incredible aura. She had noticed Silyn looking at him earlier, but at the time her mind was solely focused on Silyn's response, so she hadn't paid close attention. But now, seeing him, she truly felt a pang in her soul. An inner voice screamed that this child was extraordinary, but she didn't show it on her face and, smiling politely, said, "Of course."
No way, she sensed something strange was going on with the boy's temperament and the fact that the two genius girls had been standing next to him. They were probably children of some of the continent's most prominent families, or something else entirely; otherwise, such an illogical event wouldn't be possible. So she acted politely.
She extended her hand and tried to awaken Shun's spirit with her spiritual power.
Shun didn't awaken his own spirit; after all, it was too shocking. How could he summon a dragon whose single eye was many times larger than the solar system? So she chose the two spirits given by the system and awakened them.
A dark aura quickly appeared behind Shun, enveloping the entire temple. The sound of the fallen angel's dark wings flapping slowly revealed it behind him, holding the Sword of Desire. Those who saw the sword felt a slight loss of control over their emotions. The fallen angel's face was identical to Shun's; after all, it was his soul. The Sword of Desire was a short, double-edged sword with a black band down the middle and golden inscriptions at its edges.
As the dark aura continued to spread, Shun withdrew his soul, and everyone in the hall came to their senses. They had just been in a strange situation, as if they were fulfilling all their desires in their dreams, yet they knew it was all just a dream, and they didn't want to escape it. Although filled with fear, they reluctantly acted on their faces, longing for what they had imagined. The thought of this sent shivers down everyone's spine, and some of the timid children, though not understanding what was happening, began to cry.
Even Su Yuntao was caught up in this, looking fearfully at the child in front of him. This child's spirit is very demonic; I wasn't sure if I should invite him to join the spirit hall...
But considering that even though he had only recently awakened his spirit, he possessed enough power to affect even himself, he thought it was necessary to invite him. Otherwise, wouldn't it be creating an unnecessary enemy if this genius joined another group and became an enemy of the spirit hall, especially since he could have his own power?
He put on a smile and said, "Little boy, are you willing to join the spirit hall?"
Shun replied with his usual slight smile, "You haven't tested my spirit power yet?"
Su Yuntao laughed and continued, "I don't think it's necessary, but since you want, let's test it for you!"
Shun touched the extended crystal, and it shattered and vanished. No light or anything else emerged, surprising everyone present, even Su Yuntao.
There was only one reason for this sphere to shatter: it had been tested beyond the capacity of his spiritual power!
Su Yuntao stared at Shun in shock, "This child... He's not born with full spiritual power, he's born with level 20 spiritual power!"
His heart began to race at the thought. Even though he felt he would soon die of a heart attack, he couldn't help himself; the series of surprises was overwhelming him.
Level 20 spiritual power born with innate spiritual power! What kind of concept is that? While the number of people born with innate spiritual power on the entire continent could be counted on the fingers of one hand, he had witnessed the birth of a unique genius with level 20 spiritual power born with his own hands!
He calmed his rapidly beating heart and spoke in an excited voice he couldn't control, "Then, the three of you, we'll go to the spirit hall right now!"
Shun and the girls had no objection, so they agreed.
Su Yuntao looked at the other children with an uncontrollable smile and excitement on his face and said, "Don't lose hope, children! Even if you can't all become true spirit masters, you all have your own value! Remember, the number of people who can become spirit masters in the whole world is only 1 in 10,000! Don't belittle yourselves, if there weren't people like you, there wouldn't be spirit masters like us, so I hope you live well in the future and become useful people to the world!"
The other children, listening to Su Yuntao's words, slowly left their sadness and regained their former smiles.
Shun and the girls couldn't help but look at Su Yuntao with admiration upon hearing this. He possessed the consciousness of a true master. Even though he himself was a spirit master so weak that he wouldn't even make a name for himself on the continent, his consciousness and humanity were superior to most powerful beings.
Shun wondered if he should do a good deed and help him improve his abilities. Ultimately, such people were rare, and he was honestly curious to see what kind of impact Su Yuntao would have on the continent.
Seeing the children, who had come to their senses and were smiling, unaware that he had just made a speech that would change their destiny, Su Yuntao laughed and waved, "Take care of yourselves, children, I wish you success in your lives!"
After waving, he went to Shun and the girls and left the temple with them, Tang not even looking back. After all, even if he was a born spirit master, his spirit was just a trash spirit; how much he could develop it was a mystery. He would probably be weaker than himself.
If he knew in the future that he would be called "blind douluo" because of this, he would probably sink into the ground with shame. But actually, what he said wasn't wrong. If Tang-san's soul were truly just worthless blue grass, his cultivation wouldn't be so high. His soul isn't silver grass, it's a blue silver emperor, and the sky is captivating. Furthermore, with the abilities of his sect, becoming a douluo or god with a title would have been easier for him than for other geniuses.
Moreover, Tang-san wasn't initially full of spiritual power; he reached full spiritual power through training from his sect. Otherwise, his actual ability was at most level 6 or 7 spiritual power.
