Chapter 2: My Martial Soul Is Light.
"How can it be empty? Forget it! Anyone who doesn't understand will have their Martial Soul discarded!"
Su Yuntao expressed disappointment. He had thought this child would be unique, but he was even more utterly devoid of a Martial Soul.
"Alright! Let's test his Soul Power..."
He couldn't understand. Su Yuntao simply couldn't understand. It was impossible for someone to not have a Martial Soul; everyone possessed one! He couldn't figure it out, he simply couldn't. He should test his Soul Power first... test his Soul Power first, to see if there was some kind of mutation.
A white crystal ball was handed to him, and without hesitation, Lingmo gently placed his right hand on it.
Suddenly... a powerful light emanated from the crystal ball, blazing brightly.
"This... innate full Soul Power?"
Su Yuntao was completely bewildered! What on earth was going on? Could someone explain how someone without a Martial Soul could possess innate full Soul Power?
"Child, tell me! What is your Martial Soul?"
Su Yuntao was stunned. He was certain Lingmo had a Martial Soul, it just wasn't showing. What kind of Martial Soul was it that wouldn't show?
Lingmo should be able to sense his spirit, because once a spirit is awakened, it can be felt within. That's for sure.
"My spirit? I don't know, maybe it's light..."
Lingmo was also confused. He could feel a beam of multicolored divine light within him, already merging into every part of his body, as if constantly strengthening it.
"Light? What is that?" Su Yuntao was puzzled. What was the use of this thing? Was it meant to blind the opponent in a fight?
Shaking his head helplessly, Brother Tao declared that what he had seen today was truly bizarre! First, a blue silver grass with full spirit power, and then a light that wasn't even a spirit! And yet, it was also full spirit power.
This world is crazy, with all sorts of magical things. This has really touched Brother Tao's blind spots.
"Alright! You can go back first..."
Su Yuntao couldn't figure it out. He had originally wanted to invite Lingmo into the Spirit Hall, but he hadn't imagined what Lingmo's spirit could actually be used for.
He couldn't figure it out! I really couldn't figure it out...
Leaving the cabin, Ultraman, the village chief, excitedly approached. "Xiaomo, how's it going? Have you awakened some incredible martial spirit? Do you have any soul power?"
The children who had emerged one after another had already started to cut straw in the fields, and Lingmo was the last one out. No wonder Ultraman was so excited.
His name was quite striking! When Lingmo first learned of his name, he admired him for a long time.
Perhaps he hadn't realized how impressive it truly was.
"I don't know if it's impressive, but soul power! It seems he has..."
Before he could finish, Su Yuntao emerged. Ultraman immediately left Lingmo behind and walked over to him, asking, "Master Soul Master, how's it going? Have any of these children gained soul power?"
Seeing his excitement, Su Yuntao didn't feel comfortable refusing an answer, but rather said regretfully, "Yes, there is one! Look, that child, with innate full soul power..."
"Oh my god! Innate full soul power! Our village is going to have a top student..."
Hearing this, Ultraman nearly fainted. He was so excited! After more than a dozen children, one finally appeared with soul power, and it was an innate full soul power. How could he not be excited? He was so excited that he didn't even bother to ask what a martial soul was! He almost picked up Lingmo and threw him to the ground...
"Don't be too happy yet! This child's martial soul is really weird. Even I can't figure out what it is.
I'll have to go back and check the files to find out what its martial soul is used for. But it must be a useless martial soul! It doesn't even have a physical form. It's even more useless than Blue Silver Grass...
How much do you think he can achieve with a martial soul that even I can't understand?
Well, I still have a few villages to visit. I don't have time to explain to you..."
After saying this, Brother Tao left in a leisurely manner. In that day, he witnessed two useless martial souls with innate full soul power at the same time, which also touched his cognition.
After Su Yuntao left, Ultraman stood there with a somewhat depressed mood. "Useless martial soul?"
Yes, how could a martial soul that even the great Grand Soul Master Su Yuntao couldn't understand be a powerful martial soul?
After a moment's hesitation, Ultraman made a sudden decision and turned to Lingmo, saying, "Xiaomo, do you want to go to school?"
"Huh?"
Lingmo was still trying to figure out what her martial spirit was, stunned by Ultraman's sudden question.
"School? Of course I do, but I'm broke..."
Where did Lingmo get his money? He'd survived by swindling and cheating, and surviving to the age of six was a feat of heaven.
Since childhood, he'd been swindling children in the village to get food. Life was already hard, so how could he afford to go to school?
Just then, a child drinking animal milk passed by, looked at him with disdain, and walked away.
"Don't worry about the money for school. If you want to go, the village chief will definitely arrange a place for you..."
The village hadn't had a spirit master in years, and Ultraman felt a pang of pain in his heart. You know... in Douluo Continent, spirit masters hold a much higher status than ordinary people.
If the village could produce a spirit master, it would undoubtedly be a huge boost to its future development.
"Then... go!"
With nowhere else to go anyway, getting to school was the best option. If he couldn't, Lingmo couldn't do anything about it!
He wondered how other time travelers managed to get into school. Were they born rich? Didn't they have to think about how to make money?
Why did Lingmo, having traveled through time, have to live frugally while they could spend lavishly? People were different.
After bidding farewell to the Ultraman Village Chief, Lingmo returned to his treehouse! Before leaving, Ultraman had promised him that he would get him the chance to go to school, no matter what, so he didn't have to worry.
"Five-Colored Divine Light? What's its purpose?"
Lingmo was going to be troubled for the rest of his life! Logically, since it had already produced gold, it should have been a top-tier martial spirit, right? Why was there nothing there?
Deeply comprehending the changes within his body, carefully sensing the existence of his martial spirit, Lingmo suddenly made another discovery.
"Huh... this thing!"
As if he had discovered something, Lingmo was overwhelmed with joy and ran out of the treehouse.
He looked around, but the surroundings were empty, not even a single person was around, and only a few chickens were at the village entrance.
"Damn it! There's nothing else I can do. Let's see the effects first..."
As he spoke, his eyes suddenly transformed, revealing a startling double pupil, a reversal of yin and yang.
Instantly, a multicolored divine light emanated from his body. Ever since his martial spirit awakened, this light had been lingering within him.
"What a strange feeling! It's like armor protecting me. My body has become harder, more resilient..."
As his martial spirit unleashed its power, Lingmo instantly sensed the changes within him. This multicolored divine light had the effect of strengthening his body, like a powerful armor. The magic armor entered his body, and he was like a god descending to earth, unleashing a devastating blow. He felt a surge of power, a feeling Lingmo had never experienced before.
"Why can I tolerate the magic armor? Because it constantly reminds me I'm a father..."
The multicolored divine light strengthened his body, and Lingmo felt a surge of strength. He punched a nearby stone.
Boom...
With a resounding bang, the stone instantly crumbled.
"Oh my god, it hurts, it hurts..." Damn it! His strength had increased, but his body still wasn't strong enough. Perhaps it was because he lacked a spirit ring, making his body less resilient.
"Let's try this!"
The Five-Colored Divine Light's unique property is to inflict the magical powers of all living creatures within its sight.
Seeing only a few chickens nearby, Lingmo said nothing, his eyes glazed over, his pupils widening.
Instantly, a beam of light shot towards one of the chickens. Feeling a tremor in his body, as if something were merging into him, Lingmo couldn't help but cry out, "Cock, cuckoo..."
"Oh my god..."
The crowing of the chickens left Lingmo bewildered, especially after being enhanced by the Five-Colored Divine Light, making the crowing resound throughout the village.
"Where's that crowing? So loud..."
The villagers were startled by the sound, thinking something had happened, and rushed out.
They only saw Lingmo standing by the banyan tree, seeing nothing.
"Xiaomo! How's your spirit awakening going today?"
A helpful villager greeted. Lingmo froze awkwardly, "Hey, nothing, cuckoo..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he nearly crowed again, but luckily he caught himself in time.
The uncle saw Lingmo's strange behavior and wanted to come over to see what was happening. But when he thought about the food at home that was about to burn, he didn't care about anything else and ran back in a hurry.
"That was a close call! Damn, it turns out that this thing is used to steal other people's magical powers..."
Lingmo finally figured out the function of the Five-Colored Divine Light. It turns out that this thing can be applied to anything with magical powers within his sight!
For example... if the person in front of Lingmo is a soul master, then... Lingmo can directly steal his martial soul and soul skills.
If it is a soul beast, or something else, he will also steal its most powerful thing and use it.
Just now, Lingmo used the Five-Colored Divine Light on those chickens, and the uncontrolled crowing of the chickens almost scared him to death.
