Early the next morning, before dawn had even broken, Wang Li got up. He cooked a pot of plain rice porridge, ate a little just to fill his stomach, and then headed out.
He did not want to miss anything.
He was quite eager about the martial soul awakening.
The Tang Divine King really had something special going on. Douluo Continent, the foundation stone of xuanhuan and the ceiling of wuxia,after all, it was a place where gods could be killed with hidden weapons, complete with game-like martial souls and a soul ring system. The entertainment value was maxed out. What kind of martial soul one would awaken was an especially captivating highlight.
Wang Li quickened his pace and arrived at the village's central Martial Soul Hall. This so-called Martial Soul Hall was actually just a slightly better wooden house. It was usually unused, but the village chief regularly arranged for people to maintain it.
On the annual day of martial soul awakening, children of the appropriate age would be brought here by their parents to wait for personnel from the Martial Soul Hall to arrive and conduct the awakening.
Just like now, several children had already gathered here, along with their parents. Seeing this, Wang Li walked over with his trademark simple and honest smile.
Before long, the village chief, Wang Ping, also arrived. He counted the children to make sure all eligible ones from the village were present, then looked at everyone with a serious expression and said loudly:
"Since everyone is here, do not run around. The soul master from the Martial Soul Hall could arrive at any moment. If you miss the martial soul awakening because of your own actions, you will bear all the consequences yourself."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present responded in unison.
After all, for them, this was likely the only chance in their lives to change their fate.
They waited for a full hour. Then, under their long-anticipated gazes, the soul master from the Martial Soul Hall finally appeared.
He approached briskly from the distance, wearing a white fitted outfit and a black cloak. On his chest was the character "Soul," and on the left side of his chest were three small embroidered swords. He was tall and handsome, though his expression did not look very pleasant.
When the soul master came closer, Village Chief Wang Ping stepped forward. Facing this young man who was several times younger than himself, Wang Ping wore a look of deep respect and bowed as he spoke:
"Soul Master, thank you for coming. All the children of the appropriate age in the village are here now."
The soul master nodded in response, then looked at the children nearby. His expression softened slightly.
"All right, children. Go inside the house and wait for me. I still need to visit other villages later, so I won't stay here for too long."
When he finished speaking, six children in total, including Wang Li, filed into the house one after another.
Under everyone's expectant gazes, the soul master from the Martial Soul Hall also entered the house. At the same time, anticipation rose in his own heart.
Hopefully, there will be a talented child in this village…
Inside the wooden house.
The soul master took six peculiar black stones out of his bag and arranged them on the ground in the shape of a star. After finishing this, he looked at the children in front of him and said gently:
"All right, children. Let me introduce myself. My name is Su Yuntao. I come from the Martial Soul Hall and am a two-ring Battle Soul Master. Next, I will activate my martial soul and awaken yours. No matter what you see, do not be afraid…"
However, when Wang Li heard the name Su Yuntao, his eyes lit up instantly, and he thought to himself:
It's him! This is solid, absolutely solid. I'm definitely going to awaken a good martial soul with soul power!
"Lone Wolf, possess!"
A low shout snapped Wang Li back to his senses and drew his attention over.
He saw a surge of greenish airflow around Su Yuntao as his body began to expand. His hair turned grayish-brown, and grayish-brown fur grew on his face, arms, and other exposed parts of his body. His teeth sharpened, his nails lengthened, and he transformed directly from a human into a werewolf.
The Martial Soul Hall uniform was of surprisingly good quality, showing no signs of being torn apart. Most striking of all, two light rings,one white and one yellow,appeared around him.
This transformation frightened the children, sending them into panic.
Su Yuntao felt a bit of a headache and hurried to comfort them.
"Don't be afraid. This is all normal. If any of you awaken a beast-type martial soul, you will experience similar changes in the future. Now, who wants to be the first to awaken their martial soul? Step into the center of the formation."
The others were still hesitant, but Wang Li could no longer hold back. He hurried into the center of the formation in just a few steps and said eagerly:
"Master Su Yuntao, please help me awaken my martial soul!"
Seeing someone step forward voluntarily, and intending to let Wang Li serve as an example, Su Yuntao did not waste words. He extended one wolf claw in front of Wang Li while releasing soul power and said:
"Carefully feel the changes inside your body!"
Even without the reminder, Wang Li was already doing so. At that moment, it felt as if he were soaking in hot water, his entire body warm and comfortable. A stream of heat appeared within him, circulated through his body, and finally gathered in his hand.
In an instant, white light burst forth, and a plant grew out of nothing, drawing everyone's attention.
Even Su Yuntao was momentarily stunned. He stared at the plant for a long time before hesitantly saying:
"This is Blue Silver Grass? It's thicker and more upright, but it's definitely Blue Silver Grass. Has it undergone some kind of mutation?"
Su Yuntao did not know whether to laugh or cry. The white light had been so dazzling that he thought it was some exceptional martial soul, but it turned out to be Blue Silver Grass. He then took out a transparent crystal ball from his bag and handed it to Wang Li, saying:
"Child, control your martial soul and retract it, then place your hand on the crystal ball. Let me see if you have any soul power."
Wang Li nodded upon hearing this. With firm will, he moved his mind, and the plant that had grown from nothing disappeared from his palm, returning into his body.
Blue Silver Grass…
As Wang Li thought this, he placed his hand on the crystal ball. In an instant, a suction force drew the heat within his body outward. The crystal ball emitted light,not dazzling, but extremely clear.
Su Yuntao was stunned once again, unable to react for quite some time. Finally, he said helplessly:
"Blue Silver Grass can have soul power too? And it's level three soul power. Back then, I only had level two…"
Wang Li heard all of this clearly, and he was also quite surprised.
This, he understood.
Wang Li, soul power level three, useless martial soul Blue Silver Grass…
A standard trash template.
No, wait. In the context of Douluo Continent, level three soul power was actually a decent talent.
It was far from the top, but slightly better than the bottom. At the very least, there was hope of breaking through to level thirty soul power and becoming a Soul Elder.
