Chapter 7: Reporting a Fallen Soul Master
"You finally agreed to me!"
A smile couldn't help but appear on Su Haishan's serious face.
He had practiced for his entire life but was only a Great Soul Master in his twenties, which was enough for him to just hold a position in the Spirit Hall. But his son was different!
He inherited the Lone Wolf Spirit and had already cultivated to the level of a Great Soul Master when he was only in his early twenties.
If he takes over his position now, it is not impossible for him to be promoted to a sub-hall or even a higher main hall in the future.
But then, Su Haishan quickly reacted and asked in surprise, "What did you just say? When did I miss out on such a good opportunity?"
He has been helping people awaken their spirits for almost ten years. In this remote area, he has never seen anyone with an innate spirit power exceeding level 5. How can there be any good talent?
Matthew became even more annoyed upon hearing this: "How dare you say that? This child may have a Blue Silver Grass spirit, but he can become a first-ring soul master at such a young age, which shows his talent."
"You didn't even report this talent?"
Su Haishan was stunned: "Him? A one-ring soul master?"
Su Lin had no intention of hiding it. He just raised his hand lightly, and the Blue Silver Grass Spirit appeared in his palm again, with a yellow soul ring quietly floating above it.
"It's actually true!"
Su Haishan rubbed his eyes in disbelief: "But I remember... your innate soul power... seems to be level 1?"
"Innate Spirit Power Level 1 and... Wait!"
Matthew was halfway through his words when he suddenly realized something was wrong: "What did you say? Innate Spirit Power Level 1?"
Su Haishan nodded. "That's right. This child is much calmer than ordinary children. He even bought me a meditation book. I'm sure I'm not mistaken!"
Now, both of their eyes were fixed on Su Lin.
How could Blue Silver Grass, which only had an innate soul power of level 1, cultivate to level 10 so quickly and become a formal soul master?
Su Lin smiled helplessly. He knew very well that his cultivation speed after registering at the Spirit Hall was indeed difficult to explain.
But if he wants to get rid of the Fallen Soul Master hiding in the village as soon as possible, he has to take this risk.
The weight of words spoken by an ordinary eight-year-old child and an eight-year-old one-ring soul master is completely different.
"I don't know either. I just found a gathering place of Blue Silver Grass in the mountains behind the village to practice, and I found that my training speed increased a lot!"
Su Lin looked ignorant.
"Mimicry environment!"
Matthew and Su Haishan said almost in unison.
"Although Blue Silver Grass is weak, it is found throughout the Douluo Continent, and mimicry environments are relatively easy to find. In this respect, it does have some advantages."
Su Haishan had an expression of sudden enlightenment and made a decision in his heart.
When his son inherits the task of awakening the spirit in the future, he has to ask him to pay special attention to the soul master of Blue Silver Grass!
"But even with a mimicry environment, it wouldn't be possible to train so quickly..."
Matthew still had some doubts, but he didn't suspect that Su Lin was hiding something. He just looked at Su Haishan with some suspicion.
This old guy has long wanted to retire and let his son take over. Could it be that he deliberately didn't do his job seriously and made a mistake?
"Grandpa, I've been working very hard. After awakening my spirit, apart from eating and resting, I've been practicing in the back mountains. I haven't been lazy at all!"
Su Lin's still somewhat childish face was full of seriousness.
"Didn't you go to the academy?"
Matthew couldn't help but look at Su Haishan again. Could it be that this guy didn't issue the awakening certificate?
"Grandpa Matthew, if I go to Notting Academy, I'll have to work as a student, and I won't have as much time to practice!"
This explanation finally made Matthew nod his head: "With the mimicry environment and this level of effort, it is somewhat possible..."
He had tried hard when he was young, but four hours of practice a day was his limit.
The main reason is that after a long time, he can't enter the meditative state, but this varies from person to person, and some people can practice for six or seven hours.
Without further agonizing over the training speed, Matthew turned to Su Haishan and said, "You have a crystal ball with you to test soul power, right? Take it out and test this kid's soul power. I can't wait to give him the soul master badge."
Su Haishan nodded, gently input soul power into his belt, and instantly a crystal ball appeared in his hand.
This is... a soul guide!
Su Lin's eyes suddenly lit up.
Su Haishan smiled proudly and said, "Hehe, this belt of mine is a storage soul guide specially made for the children in the village so that they can carry and test the crystal balls when they awaken."
"Even though the space isn't big, it's not something that most people can afford!"
Storage soul guide, this is certainly a good thing!
Unfortunately, in this era, the technology for making soul guides has been lost, and all soul guides are passed down from ancient relics.
Even if it is just the lowest grade stuff, it is worth at least tens of thousands or even more Gold Soul Coins.
"Let's test it. Input your soul power into it..."
Su Lin nodded and gently pressed one hand on the crystal ball.
"This…!"
Matthew and Su Haishan were shocked again: "It's actually level 12!"
Even if it is a hundred-year soul ring, it is already very good if it can be upgraded to level 11 under normal circumstances!
"Because my spirit is Blue Silver Grass, the first spirit ring I chose was a Blue Silver Grass that was over 400 years old. After absorbing the spirit ring, I instantly reached level 12!"
Su Lin tilted his head and explained.
Blue Silver Grass!
I see!
This time, both Matthew and Su Haishan accepted this explanation easily.
A spirit ring that's over four hundred years old, and made from the same Blue Silver Grass as his spirit... maybe absorbing it would be a little different. After all, I've never heard of anyone doing this before.
"Perhaps it's because Blue Silver Grass is so common and ubiquitous, and it's not at all aggressive. Even if it weren't difficult to hunt souls, almost no one would choose Blue Silver Grass as a spirit ring."
"Son, you made a very bold choice."
Matthew sighed a little, and while speaking, he took out a round badge. There were two intertwined thorns on the front, and the back was blank.
He took out a carving knife from the drawer, and in just a few moments, he had engraved Su Lin's name on the back of the badge.
"Keep it safe and don't lose it."
"From now on, you are a glorious soul master. From now on, you can use this badge to collect your monthly subsidy from the Spirit Hall. The monthly subsidy for soul masters is one Gold Soul Coin. When you reach the level of Great Soul Master, the subsidy will be increased to ten Gold Soul Coins."
Su Lin gently took the badge from Matthew's hand and carefully put it in his trouser pocket: "Thank you, Grandpa Matthew!"
"Actually, I came to the Spirit Hall this time for another very important matter... It's about the Fallen Soul Master."
