"How can it be empty? Fine, anything I can't understand will be uniformly treated as a useless Martial Soul!"
Su Yuntao expressed great disappointment. He had thought this child would be extraordinary, but unexpectedly, he was even more extreme—he didn't even have a Martial Soul.
"Alright! Let's test your Soul Power..."
He couldn't understand. Su Yuntao really couldn't understand. It was impossible for a person not to have a Martial Soul; everyone possesses one! He couldn't fathom it, truly couldn't fathom it. It's better to test the Soul Power first...
He should test the Soul Power first to see if some kind of mutation had occurred in his body.
The white crystal ball was handed over. Ling Mo, without hesitation, gently placed his right hand on it.
Suddenly... an intense light instantly radiated from the crystal ball, dazzling and brilliant.
"This... Innate Full Soul Power?"
Su Yuntao was completely dumbfounded! What in the world was going on? Who could tell him why someone without a Martial Soul possessed Innate Full Soul Power instead?
"Child, tell me! What is your Martial Soul?"
Su Yuntao was dumbfounded. He confirmed that Ling Mo did have a Martial Soul; it simply hadn't manifested. What kind of Martial Soul would fail to display itself?
Ling Mo should be able to sense the existence of his Martial Soul, because once a Martial Soul is awakened, one can certainly feel the Martial Soul within the body—that much is certain.
"My Martial Soul? I don't know, maybe it's light..."
Ling Mo was also utterly confused. He could feel a beam of five-colored divine light inside him had integrated into all parts of his body, seemingly strengthening it non-stop.
"Light? What in the world is that?" Su Yuntao truly didn't understand. What use was this thing? To flash-blind the opponent's 'dog eyes' before a fight?
Shaking his head helplessly, Brother Tao felt that the things he had seen today were simply too bizarre! First, there was a Blue Silver Grass with full Soul Power, and now a light that didn't even qualify as a Martial Soul! And yet, it also had full Soul Power.
This world was too crazy; it had every kind of miracle imaginable. This had definitely reached Brother Tao's knowledge blind spot.
"Alright! You can go back now..."
He couldn't figure it out. Su Yuntao truly couldn't figure it out. He had originally wanted to invite Ling Mo to join the Spirit Hall, but he couldn't fathom what Ling Mo's Martial Soul was actually used for.
He just couldn't figure it out! Absolutely couldn't...
Walking out of the small wooden house, Village Chief Ultraman excitedly came over. "Xiao Mo, how was it! Did you awaken some badass Martial Soul? Do you have Soul Power?"
The children who had come out earlier had already started going to the fields to cut straw. Since Ling Mo was the last one out, it was no wonder Ultraman was so excited.
Speaking of which, that name of his is quite striking! The first time Ling Mo learned he was called that, he admired him for ages.
Maybe he hadn't yet realized just how awesome that name was.
"Whether it's badass or not, I don't know, but as for Soul Power! It seems I do have some..."
Before he could finish, Su Yuntao walked out. Ultraman immediately left Ling Mo, walked straight over, and asked, "Esteemed Soul Master, how did it go! Did any of this batch of children possess Soul Power?"
Seeing how excited he was, Su Yuntao didn't feel comfortable refusing to answer, and he replied regretfully, "Yes, there is one! Look, it's that child—Innate Full Soul Power..."
"Heavens! Innate Full Soul Power! Is our village about to produce a top scholar..."
Upon hearing this, Ultraman nearly fainted; he was simply too excited! Out of over ten children, one finally appeared with Soul Power, and it was Innate Full Soul Power to boot. How could he not be excited?
He was so thrilled he didn't even bother asking what the Martial Soul was! He almost picked up Ling Mo and gave him a violent hug...
"Don't celebrate too early! This child's Martial Soul is truly too bizarre. Even I can't figure out what his Martial Soul actually is.
I'll have to go back and check the scrolls to find out what use his Martial Soul has, but it's likely a useless Martial Soul! It doesn't even have a physical form; it's even more useless than the Blue Silver Grass...
A Martial Soul that even I can't decipher—how much success do you think he can achieve?
Alright, I still have several villages to visit, so I don't have time to explain further..."
With that, Brother Tao left with a flourish. In this single day, he had witnessed two useless Martial Souls that both possessed Innate Full Soul Power, truly pushing the limits of his knowledge.
After Su Yuntao left, Ultraman stood glumly rooted to the spot. "A useless Martial Soul?"
Right. Could a Martial Soul that even the great Soul Master Su Yuntao couldn't understand possibly be a powerful one?
After hesitating for a moment, Ultraman suddenly made a decision. He turned directly to Ling Mo and said, "Xiao Mo, would you like to go to school?"
"Huh?"
Ling Mo was still contemplating what exactly his Martial Soul was, and Ultraman's abrupt question completely stunned him.
"Go to school? Of course, I want to, but unfortunately, I don't have the money..."
Where would Ling Mo get money? Living off trickery and deceit, surviving until the age of six was already a miracle, alright?
Since childhood, he had been tricking children in the village for food. Life was already difficult, so where would he get spare cash for schooling?
Just then, a brat drinking beast milk walked by, gave him a look of disdain, and swaggered off.
"You don't need to worry about the school fees. As long as you want to go, Grandpa Village Chief will make sure you're properly set up..."
The village hadn't produced a Soul Master in many years, and Ultraman felt terrible about it. One must understand... on the Douluo Continent, the status of a Soul Master is far higher than that of ordinary people.
If the village could produce a Soul Master, it would absolutely be a huge benefit for the village's future development.
"In that case... let's go!"
He didn't have anywhere else to go anyway, so attending school was the best choice. If he couldn't go, Ling Mo would have no recourse!
I really don't know how other transmigrators solve the schooling problem. Were they born rich? Did they never have to worry about how to earn money?
Why is it that he, a fellow transmigrator, has to live so meagerly, while they can casually spend and live lavishly? There truly is a difference between people.
After bidding farewell to Village Chief Ultraman, Ling Mo returned to his little treehouse! Ultraman had already promised before he left that he would get him a chance to attend school, no matter what, so he didn't have anything to worry about.
"Five-colored divine light? What exactly is its function?"
For the next period, Ling Mo was troubled! Logically speaking, since it had flashed gold, it should at least be a top-grade Martial Soul, right? Why the heck was there nothing?
Observing the changes flowing deep within his body and carefully sensing the Martial Soul's existence, Ling Mo suddenly made another discovery.
"Huh... this thing!"
Having seemingly discovered something, Ling Mo was instantly overjoyed and frantically ran out of the little treehouse.
He glanced left and right. The surroundings were empty, with not a soul in sight, only a few chickens at the village entrance.
"Damn it! No choice, I'll just have to test the effect first..."
As he spoke, his eyes suddenly changed, displaying the astonishing phenomena of heavy pupils forming shadows, moving in the reversal of Yin and Yang.
In an instant, a burst of five-colored divine light appeared on his body. This light had been inside him ever since the Martial Soul awakening.
"What a strange feeling! It's like having armor protecting the body. My body has hardened; I'm much more resilient to damage..."
With the Martial Soul unleashed, Ling Mo immediately sensed the changes in his body. This five-colored divine light actually had the effect of strengthening the body, like Kai activating his ultimate ability: the magic armor entering the body, like a heavenly god descending, slaying all in sight.
His entire body was brimming with power; Ling Mo had never felt this way before.
"Why tolerate the magic armor? Because it constantly reminds me that I am *the* boss..."
The five-colored divine light strengthened his body. Ling Mo felt completely filled with power and fiercely smashed a nearby stone with his fist.
*Boom...*
Following the loud crash, the stone instantly disintegrated.
"Damn it, ow, ow, ow..."
Goddammit. The strength increased, but the physical toughness wasn't enough. Maybe because he didn't have a Soul Ring, his body wasn't hard enough yet.
"Let's try this technique!"
The sole characteristic of the Five-Colored Divine Light was its ability to copy the divine techniques of all living creatures within his line of sight.
Seeing that there were only a few chickens nearby, Ling Mo, without hesitation, focused his eyes, and his heavy pupils opened wide.
Instantly, a beam of light shot towards one of the chickens. He felt his body tremble, sensed something integrating into him, and Ling Mo couldn't help but cry out: "Cluck-cluck-cluck-woo..."
"What the heck..."
That chicken sound left Ling Mo feeling a little lost, especially since, amplified by the Five-Colored Divine Light, the crow was so loud it echoed throughout the entire village.
"Where is that crow coming from? It's so loud..."
The villagers were all startled by the crow, thinking something had gone wrong, and they rushed out one after another.
They only saw Ling Mo beside the big banyan tree and nothing else.
"Xiao Mo! How did the Martial Soul awakening go today..."
A kind villager greeted him. Ling Mo stood awkwardly rooted to the spot. "Hehe, nothing much, cluck cluck..."
Before he could manage two sentences, another chicken crow almost escaped. Fortunately, Ling Mo controlled himself just in time.
The uncle saw Ling Mo's strange behavior and wanted to walk over, but realizing the vegetables at home were about to burn, he disregarded it and rushed back.
"That was close! Damn it, so this thing is for secretly learning other people's divine techniques..."
Ling Mo finally figured out the function of the Five-Colored Divine Light. So, this thing could copy the divine techniques of *everything* within his line of sight!
For instance... if there was a Soul Master in front of Ling Mo, then... Ling Mo could directly steal and use their Martial Soul and Soul Skills.
If it was a Soul Beast or something else, he would also steal its most powerful ability to use.
Just now, when Ling Mo used the Five-Colored Divine Light on those chickens, those few uncontrolled chicken cries nearly scared him to death.
