He Zhi stepped aside, and the second little girl entered the circle.
This girl had long hair, a shy personality, and seemed very timid. Her eyes were large. The system assigned her a set of blue clothing, and the blue dress looked particularly graceful on her.
As usual, Lin Yuan asked the girl's name. She stammered out: Wei Rui (魏瑞)—just these two characters.
A golden light enveloped her, and a single raindrop appeared in her right hand. Undoubtedly, her martial soul was a raindrop.
Wei Rui placed her small hand on the crystal ball. It immediately emitted light, though much weaker than He Zhi's light.
[Name: Wei Rui]Age: 6Martial Soul: RaindropSoul Power: Level 5 (after bonus)
Her talent was still slightly lacking, but Lin Yuan pondered which path this Jade Dew martial soul should follow.
"Very good. Wei Rui, martial soul Raindrop, innate soul power Level 5. You can cultivate."
Wei Rui's anxiety eased, and she smiled at Lin Yuan: "Thank you, Master."
The next to enter the circle was another girl.
She wore a ponytail. Her hair was purple, her neck long, and she wore a purple-and-white dress.
Her name was Yan Ruyu.
Lin Yuan noticed that the names of these little girls resembled heroines from various novels.
A light enveloped her, and purple smoke appeared around her right hand, drawing everyone's curiosity.
"What's this? A Wu Soul?"
Yan Ruyu glanced at everyone, rolled her eyes, and pursed her lips.
Lin Yuan moved his gaze and tested her innate soul power.
[Name: Purple Smoke]Age: 6Martial Soul: Purple SmokeSoul Power: Level 5 (after bonus)
This purple Yan martial soul reminded him of Jing Ziyan's martial soul in the second Douluo story, also purple, helping him gauge its potential development path.
"Yan Ruyu, martial soul Purple Flame, innate soul power Level 5. This martial soul has great potential. Keep working hard."
Yan Ruyu was delighted to hear this.
The fourth to enter the circle was one of the two boys. His name was Book.
This boy had a well-proportioned build, distinct bone structure, fair skin, and wore black clothing, looking very handsome.
The martial soul awakening began, and his martial soul quietly appeared—a Skeleton Spirit.
Seeing this martial soul, Lin Yuan glanced at Ayan's shadow martial soul, which was somewhat similar.
The soul power crystal ball glowed again, its light comparable to He Zhi's soul power.
[Name: Book]Age: 6Martial Soul: SkeletonSoul Power: Level 6 (after bonus)
"Good. Book, martial soul Skeleton. You can follow the agile attack Soul Master path. Innate soul power Level 6."
Shu couldn't believe it. "Really?"
"Of course. You can practice it in the future."
"Thank you, Master!"
Next was another boy.
He had silver-gray hair and looked very cute. He wore white clothes with a hint of ethereal elegance, and he was handsome.
His name was San Shun.
Under the light, his martial soul manifested—a small, silver-white bird, slender in shape.
Lin Yuan knew this martial soul's prototype was a bird soul beast that specialized in spatial soul skills, extremely fast and difficult to catch, second only to the Sharp-tailed Swift in speed.
The crystal ball and Book's appeared with the same level of light, both Level 6.
[Name: San Shun]Age: 6Martial Soul: Aurora BirdSoul Power: Level 6 (after bonus)
"So it's an Aurora Bird martial soul with huge potential. San Shun has innate soul power Level 6."
Other children envied San Shun for having a flying martial soul.
After San Shun, another little boy joined the circle.
His name sounded middle-class: Xiao Shanglian.
He wore light gray clothes that fit well, always smiling, and was tall among his peers.
After the light dissipated, a scythe appeared in his right hand, surrounded by black and red markings, looking very imposing.
Lin Yuan named this martial soul Blood-Breaking Scythe.
Innate soul power Level 5.
[Name: Xiao Shanglian]Age: 6Martial Soul: Blood-Breaking ScytheSoul Power: Level 5 (after bonus)
"Good. Martial soul Blood-Breaking Scythe, innate soul power Level 5. Xiao Shanglian, make full use of your scythe."
"Yes, Master."
The last to awaken was a girl named Ye Sinan.
She was the tallest among them, with long hair tied in a ponytail, wearing orange-and-silver clothing.
After the light faded, a staff appeared in her hand. The staff glowed with golden light, and atop it knelt a tiny winged goddess holding a crystal ball, sparkling brilliantly.
Soul power testing revealed her innate soul power reached Level 6.
[Name: Ye Sinan]Age: 6Martial Soul: Blessing StaffSoul Power: Level 6 (no bonus)
She was another child unaffected by the Bone Marrow Purification Pill; her innate soul power Level 6 was already excellent.
"Good. Another Level 6 innate soul power. Ye Sinan, martial soul Blessing Staff, innate soul power Level 6."
Lin Yuan looked around. Among these seven, only He Zhi and Ye Sinan were true geniuses. The others were ordinary; without the hidden effect of the purification pills, their soul power would likely be unstable, at most Levels 3–4.
"You are all excellent. One has Level 7 innate soul power, three have Level 6, and three have Level 5. I'd like to praise you all, but you must understand: except for He Zhi and Ye Sinan, the others' innate soul power comes entirely from the purification pills. Without them, your soul power wouldn't be at this level."
Lin Yuan glanced at them and continued, "I don't need you to remember my favor. What I need is someone who can truly serve me, solve problems for me. Even if your soul power is low, I can raise it. But there is only one thing I require: loyalty!"
"I can see your loyalty clearly. If any of you betray me, I will find out immediately." Lin Yuan raised seven talismans—the Absolute Control Talismans from the system rewards.
With his gesture, the talismans' beams entered the seven children. At first, they felt restrained, then quickly relaxed.
"These talismans allow me complete control. They won't restrict your normal actions, but I can detonate them anytime. Do not betray me—if you do, I will know instantly and can kill you at once."
"From now on, you are under my care. Do not call yourselves slaves. Everyone is born equal. I've rescued you from darkness. I will gradually teach you secrets; you just need to cultivate diligently and eventually earn the Douluo title." Lin Yuan paused, eyes cold, activating his Killing God Domain. "Also, I do not need useless people!"
Apart from Da Ji, the seven children felt a chilling cold, as if plunging into an icy pit. Ayan was among them.
Lin Yuan exited the Killing God Domain, returning to his usual gentle appearance.
"Alright. Remember my words. Rest well tonight; we leave early tomorrow."
Lin Yuan booked another room at the front desk: Da Ji and the girls in one room, Qin Ming and the boys in another, and Lin Yuan with Ayan in another.
Ayan understood the purpose of this arrangement immediately.
