Chapter 11: Awakening the Martial Soul: Just Going Through the Procedure!
Tang Chen didn't like listening to these things; the old village chief was mainly talking to Tang San.
He'd rather spend that time looking at the system, so he deliberately slowed down.
"You checked in and received a bundle of explosive ta11gs, increasing your cultivation speed tenfold."
"You were slacking off at home, sleeping in the bushes all day."
"You checked in and received a bundle of explosive tags, increasing your cultivation speed tenfold."
"You began cultivating today and learned the authentic Taoist technique: the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record."
"You comprehended it rapidly and have initially mastered the Mysterious Jade Hand." "
You met the returning Tang Hao and learned of your unexpected acquisition of a soul bone, which you sold for 500,000 gold coins."
"You were furious that Tang Hao had withheld your soul coins, so you decided to act like a rogue." "
You cried bitterly at your mother's grave, frightening Tang Hao into handing over his gold card and token."
"You went home and met Jack, then went to the Spirit Hall in the back village to awaken your powers." "
Congratulations, host, for completing your check-in. The system has determined this to be weekend overtime, resulting in a significantly increased reward."
"Congratulations, you have obtained a Thousand-Year Soul Ring."
"Congratulations, you have obtained the Akatsuki's complete outfit and ring."
"Uh, today's rewards are strange!"
Tang Chen looked around and, finding no one paying attention, accepted the rewards.
A purple spirit ring flew out, only to be swallowed by the divine tree again.
Was it pet food?
The divine tree ate its fill, its branches instantly laden with fruit.
Tang Chen picked the largest divine fruit and swallowed it without hesitation.
His spirit power exploded again, and his level skyrocketed, instantly rising three levels to become a level 19 spirit master.
"Damn, not even level 20 yet!"
Tang Chen thought to himself, regretting it. Just one more level and he could have a second spirit ring.
Honestly, he wasn't comfortable using Sand Escape, and carrying a large gourd felt a bit strange.
This thousand-year spirit ring was slightly inferior to the Phoenix Tail Crested Serpent's.
But as long as he leveled up, that was fine. Unless it was a top-tier spirit ring with innate level 20 and full spirit power, there was absolutely no one more powerful than him at this age.
He's only seven years old, and he's already almost a Great Soul Master—it's terrifying to hear.
"Little San, wait a minute!"
Tang Chen called out to the two, wanting to share the new equipment.
"What's wrong, Big Brother? We're almost there!"
Tang San asked curiously, sensing a change in his older brother.
"I didn't give you anything for your birthday last time, so I'm making up for it now!"
Tang Chen said with a grin, taking out two sets of Crimson Cloud Embroidered Robes and two rings.
They were a full year apart, but both had birthdays in January.
It hadn't been long since then, so there was still time for a belated gift.
"Brother, what are these?"
Tang San was even more curious; the items looked quite nice, but he didn't understand their meaning.
"These are Crimson Cloud Embroidered Robes and the Dawn Ring. Only recognized family members are qualified to wear these outfits."
Tang Chen took Tang San's hand, personally putting the rings on his little finger, while he himself wore his thumb.
"Mine is called Zero Burial, and yours is called Empty Chen. We wear them on our thumbs and little fingers, symbolizing a bond stronger than gold!"
"From now on, you can tell others that our name is Akatsuki, the most terrifying clan on the entire continent!"
"By the way, this is a soul tool; it has a vast space inside."
Tang Chen said meaningfully, "Forget about promoting the Tang Clan in this lifetime; you'll just have to stay obediently in the Akatsuki!"
"This looks pretty good. It doesn't hinder movement at all; it seems designed specifically for combat."
"Of course, this clothing also has some defensive function, blocking soul power detection."
"Wear it without worry! I have enough sets here; you can wear it until you die!"
Tang Chen was in a good mood; the so-called complete Akatsuki outfit was quite extensive.
From childhood to adulthood, from boys to girls, everyone could find clothes that fit inside.
The two happily fiddled with their new equipment, unaware that the organization they had casually created that day would become a nightmare for the continent, suppressing one terrifying era after another!
"Children, let me introduce you. This is Su Yuntao, a deacon of the Spirit Hall and a Great Spirit Master."
"He will awaken your Spirits, so be good and listen to him!"
"You must become Spirit Masters!!"
Old Village Chief Jack carefully instructed, this time of year always filled with tension.
Holy Soul Village hadn't produced a Spirit Master for many years; if they didn't this year, their reputation would be completely ruined.
"Becoming a Spirit Master isn't that easy. I've been to six villages, and not a single one has Spirit Power."
"This year will probably be similar. Come in with me!"
Su Yuntao didn't have much hope. It wasn't that he looked down on this remote and impoverished place. It
was mainly because the people living here didn't inherit good Spirits, and children who could become Spirit Masters were extremely rare.
A powerful burst of Spirit Power erupted, and a wolf-shaped phantom appeared behind him, disappearing into the gates of the Spirit Hall.
In Douluo Continent, children awaken their martial souls at the age of six. Some even awaken spontaneously without the help of the Spirit Hall.
Of course, most still require activation, but this only applies to six-year-olds.
Tang Chen wasn't actually qualified to participate; the village chief lied about his age, writing that the two brothers were ten months apart.
This made it possible for the brothers to be the same age, but it was just a ruse.
The Spirit Hall wouldn't investigate thoroughly; whatever the village chief reported was accepted. Awakening was more about testing soul power.
Even with only half a level of soul power, one could improve through cultivation, and who knows, a powerful individual might emerge.
In short, the martial soul test was very casual. Su Yuntao only glanced at the two brothers curiously before officially starting the test.
Sickles, hoes, and forks were common martial souls in the countryside.
However, Blue Silver Grass was more prevalent, just as it grew all over the world; it was also common among humans, ranking as the most useless martial soul.
Finally, it was Tang San's turn. Following the original story, he possessed twin martial souls with innate full soul power.
Su Yuntao, being quite careless, completely ignored the Clear Sky Hammer, instead lingering there for a while before preparing to pack up and leave.
"Uh, sir, I haven't even started the test yet!"
Tang Chen jumped up, feeling ignored after standing there for so long—he just wanted to go through the motions!
"Uh, sorry, you're all dressed the same, I thought the test was over!"
Su Yuntao said apologetically, quickly taking out his props to prepare for the test.
"Thank you, sir!"
Tang Chen thought to himself, this guy is really careless; not only can he not recognize the martial soul, but he can even miss the person.
But that's fine too, Su Yuntao definitely won't be able to see through the system's disguise.
Countless streams of heat surged into his body, attempting to stimulate his potential.
Tang Chen cooperated, a Divine Tree martial soul appearing in his palm, looking quite impressive.
"Huh? Blue Silver Grass?"
"It's also innate full soul power, truly brothers!"
"Unfortunately... no, this isn't Blue Silver Grass."
Su Yuntao was about to explode; encountering two innate full soul power users in a row—this luck was definitely a blessing from the goddess.
But they were all Blue Silver Grass, and the feeling of gaining and then losing them was maddening.
Fortunately, this last Blue Silver Grass was quite different, and Su Yuntao began to observe it carefully.
"The aura is like Blue Silver Grass, but the appearance is too different!"
"Could it be Blue Silver Emperor?"
"But why does it feel like a Beast Martial Soul? My knowledge is insufficient!"
Su Yuntao was a bit obsessed, muttering to himself for a long time.
