Douluo Dalu: Qian Renxue's Younger Brother

"Hello, esteemed Soul Master. I apologize for troubling you this time."

Inside the wooden house.

The kind old man bowed respectfully to the young man.

Having interacted with the Spirit Hall staff every year, he had long understood the meaning of the badge embroidered on the young man's left chest.

Three crossed long swords.

The number of swords represents the young man's rank as a Spirit Grandmaster.

The long swords indicate that this attendant from the Spirit Hall is a Fighting-type Soul Master.

"Old Jack, I don't have much time, let's get started."

The young man, with a hint of pride in his face, slightly bowed as a return gesture.

"Alright."

Old Jack nodded and, as usual, delivered his customary lines.

"Children, next, the esteemed Soul Master will guide you in awakening your martial spirits."

"You must cooperate well."

"Grandpa look forward to seeing some of you become Soul Masters."

The young man shook his head in exasperation.

He had heard these words the previous year, but was becoming a Soul Master really that easy?

He had already visited six villages.

None had innate soul power, and there were no suitable martial spirits.

The new regulations from higher ups prevented him from discouraging them

So, he instead patiently waited for Old Jack to finish.

"Master, it's up to you now."

Old Jack, with a rosy face, clearly full of anticipation.

"Yes."

The young man nodded.

He watched as Old Jack walked out of the small wooden house known as the Spirit Hall.

Only then did he turn his attention to the eight children before him.

As an inspection attendant of the Spirit Hall, helping ordinary people awaken their martial spirits was his duty.

Even with the newly added steps and details this year , he was still very familiar with the process.

"Children, stand in a line."

The young man's tone was much gentler toward the children.

The eight children lined up before him.

All were of similar age, but the child on the far left was the thinnest.

His skin was somewhat dark, as if burned.

His gaze was sharp and steady.

He merely stared curiously at the person referred to as the Soul Master.

"Children, I am Su Yuntao, a 26th-level Spirit Grandmaster. I will help you awaken your martial spirits."

After a brief introduction.

Su Yuntao began the routine procedure, slowly explaining the added requirements.

"Before awakening your martial spirits,"

"I want you to understand that what truly guides you is not me, but the Spirit Hall."

"A place dedicated to protecting and nurturing civilian Soul Masters."

"If you are fortunate enough to become a Soul Master, I hope you will not forget where you come from."

Su Yuntao continued to speak, feeling that the children might not fully understand.

Yet, he was deeply immersed in the sentiment.

The essence of the speech was simple: from the common people, back to the common people.

Encourage those with the potential to become Soul Masters.

Join the Spirit Hall.

Participate in protecting civilians and nurturing more civilian Soul Masters.

The other seven children were bewildered.

But the black, thin boy remained indifferent, showing no reaction.

He had little interest for the well off of the commoners.

"Very well."

After fulfilling his duties with satisfaction.

Su Yuntao took out six black stones and arranged them in a hexagram pattern on the ground.

He also held a blue crystal ball.

In a gentle voice.

"Next, come one by one. No matter what you see, don't panic."

There were eight children in total.

As Su Yuntao signaled the first child to stand inside the hexagram.

He immediately shouted.

"Lone Wolf, possess!"

To the astonished gazes of the children.

Visibly.

Su Yuntao's muscles bulged, his eyes glowed green, and many wolf-like features appeared on him.

The child inside the hexagram trembled.

The black, thin boy's eyes showed surprise and anticipation.

"Child, don't be afraid. It's normal. Close your eyes and feel carefully."

Su Yuntao gently comforted the child in the hexagram.

Guiding him to awaken his martial spirit.

In an instant, the hexagram formed by the black stones began to shine with golden light.

Light particles entered the boy's body.

"Stretch out your right hand."

Su Yuntao's emerald eyes fixed on the boy, giving a commanding order.

The boy instinctively stretched out his right hand.

All the light particles that had entered him surged out.

A scythe appeared in his palm.

"Alright, let's test your soul power!"

Su Yuntao handed the blue crystal ball over.

Seeing the dull crystal ball, he showed no sign of disappointment.

He announced routinely:

"Child, your martial spirit has no soul power. Next!"

As the child left with a confused and disappointed expression.

The martial spirit awakening ceremony continued methodically.

"Groundhog martial spirit, no soul power. Next!"

"Rhododendron martial spirit, no soul power. Next!"

"…"

"Blue Silver Grass martial spirit, no soul power. Next!"

Soon, the first seven children had completed their martial spirit awakening.

No surprises.

None of them had innate soul power and could not become esteemed Soul Masters.

The last to step into the hexagram was the black, thin boy who had remained calm throughout.

Su Yuntao almost mechanically said:

"Blue Silver Grass martial spirit, none… Wait!"

"Hiss—! Innate full soul power. How is this possible?!"

Su Yuntao gasped in surprise.

He then pounded his chest and shook his head in disappointment.

"What a pity! It's a useless martial spirit."

"Useless martial spirit?"

The black, thin boy stared at the Blue Silver Grass in his hand.

He had no real concept of this.

But he, who always practiced Tang Sect's Xuantian Treasure Record, never easily revealed everything.

Thus.

He was tightly gripping his left hand.

There was a hammer there!

"Child, what's your name?"

Even with a useless martial spirit, Su Yuntao still patiently asked.

"Tang San."

"Good, I'll give you a certificate."

Su Yuntao nodded slightly, took out paper and pen, and encouraged:

"Tang San, don't lose hope."

"Our Spirit Hall does not reject useless martial spirits or low soul power Soul Masters."

"We welcome any upright and kind Soul Master."

Listening to Su Yuntao's words.

Tang San merely nodded slightly, not saying much.

He just asked some questions about Soul Masters.

Soon.

Su Yuntao led Tang San out of the Spirit Hall and approached Old Jack who was waiting outside.

"Old Jack, check if there are any errors in this child's information."

"None, none."

Old Jack looked at Tang San with undisguised joy.

The village had a Soul Master now!

But Su Yuntao's questioning didn't give him a chance to ask.

"By the way, what are the names of this child's parents?"

"Tang Hao, our village's notorious drunkard."

"Tang Hao?"

Su Yuntao paused, feeling that this name had been frequently heard years ago.

He shook his head and started recording.

Old Jack asked with confusion: "Master, it seems this year is a bit different."

"Yes."

"This year's new policies from above, for the convenience of Soul Master management."

Su Yuntao nodded slightly and handed the completed martial spirit certificate to Old Jack.

"I heard it's the command of the Holy Son."

"Also, in cities with Spirit Halls, they are setting up Spirit Hall affiliated academies as pilot programs."

"Preaching worldwide, recruiting Soul Masters from all over."

Old Jack listened, somewhat bewildered.

But when it came to recruiting Soul Masters, his eyes were full of reverence and amazement.

The nearby Tang San's eyes flashed with curiosity.

For someone who values their own humble beginnings, the idea of preaching worldwide puzzled him.

"Hehe, Nuoding Academy has already cooperated with us."

"Perhaps I'll also get a chance to teach the children."

Su Yuntao looked pleased.

He was very supportive of things that allowed for public display and had no harm.

"Good, congratulations, Master!"

Old Jack's eyes brightened and he immediately requested:

"At that time, we might trouble Master for your care."

"Haha, it's a small matter, a small matter."

Su Yuntao waved his hand, understanding Old Jack's intention.

"I also come from a common background, and I will naturally take care of it."

"Alright, you should look at that certificate now."

"I'm leaving."

After seeing off Su Yuntao, Old Jack finally had time to carefully examine the martial spirit certificate.

"Heavens! Innate full soul power. Blue Silver Grass?!"
