After successfully awakening his Spirit, Lu Chen thought the word 'return' in his mind. The blue-tinted Blue Silver Grass in his palm was immediately withdrawn back into his body.
Then, Lu Chen walked out of the awakening formation and stood before Su Yuntao. Blinking his eyes, he said,
"Grandmaster Su Yuntao, it's time to test my spirit power!"
Su Yuntao looked utterly dejected and responded weakly. He had exhausted all his spirit power only to awaken a trash Spirit like Blue Silver Grass; his heart was currently in a state of collapse.
Lifting the crystal ball as a matter of routine, Su Yuntao brought it before Lu Chen and said with extreme helplessness,
"Place your hand on it."
Lu Chen followed the instructions and placed his hand on the crystal ball. Instantly, a suction force emanated from the ball, drawing a portion of the spirit power from his body into it.
In a flash, the crystal ball burst with brilliant light. This caused all the children to widen their eyes, and even Su Yuntao was left slack-jawed.
Another Innate Full Spirit Power!
Su Yuntao's composure truly shattered. What was going on? Even a trash Spirit like Blue Silver Grass could produce Innate Full Spirit Power, and now two Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul possessors were both Innate Full Spirit Power.
One must know that he possessed the noble Lone Wolf Spirit, yet when his Spirit awakened back then, his tested spirit power was only at the second rank.
The heavens are unfair!
Su Yuntao shouted in grief and indignation within his heart.
Meanwhile, Lu Chen felt incredibly fortunate in his heart:
'Fortunately, the world rules of this Douluo Continent dictate that before obtaining a corresponding spirit ring, even if I possess rank thirty, rank forty, or even higher spirit power, it will only manifest as rank ten before I absorb my first spirit ring.'
'This is for the best. If I were really tested to have rank thirty or even rank forty spirit power, I expect the higher-ups of Spirit Hall would drag me off to be sliced up for research.'
Lu Chen's belief that he possessed rank thirty or even rank forty spirit power wasn't wishful thinking; it was a conclusion he had carefully deduced.
His current physical fitness was extremely robust. In a fight, four or five adults would be no match for him. When plowing the fields, the work efficiency of the old yellow bull at home couldn't even compare to his.
Without the support of an incredibly vast amount of spirit power, it would have been impossible for him to develop such a powerful physique by the age of six.
His Golden Finger allowed him to absorb heaven and earth energy just by breathing. It had been six years since he was born.
Lu Chen breathed at every moment, which was equivalent to cultivating at every moment, and he had been cultivating for a full six years.
Tang San claimed to have cultivated the Mysterious Heaven Skill since childhood, but he couldn't possibly be cultivating every single moment. On average, cultivating for four hours a day would already be the limit.
Compared to Tang San, Lu Chen's daily cultivation time was more than six times longer. If Tang San had rank thirteen spirit power after six years, Lu Chen's estimate of having rank thirty or forty spirit power after six years was already a conservative guess.
At the same time, Tang San, standing among the crowd of children, looked at Lu Chen with a gaze full of shock. Deep in his eyes, a hint of envy and jealousy surfaced that even he hadn't noticed:
'Is this a true genius? I know my own situation; my Innate Full Spirit Power was cultivated through the Mysterious Heaven Skill. Lu Chen, however, doesn't have the Mysterious Heaven Skill.'
'Lu Chen possesses innate divine strength. I once saw him grab an old yellow bull that was eating crops in the field by the tail and drag it back dozens of paces; that old bull had no power to resist at all.'
'I'm so envious. Even with the enhancement of the Mysterious Heaven Skill, I don't possess such terrifying strength.'
On Su Yuntao's side, after finishing the test of Lu Chen's spirit power, he quickly hand-wrote a Spirit Certificate and handed it to Lu Chen:
"Child, take this. This is your Spirit Certificate."
"Sigh! Such a strong body and the talent of Innate Full Spirit Power, yet it's not a Beast Spirit but a trash Spirit like Blue Silver Grass. What a shame."
While speaking, Su Yuntao packed his belongings and strode out of the wooden house.
Outside the wooden house!
Seeing Su Yuntao come out, the village chief, Old Jack, stepped forward with a face full of smiles and spoke in a respectful tone:
"Lord Spirit Master, how are the children of our Saint Spirit Village who awakened their Spirits this year?"
Su Yuntao shook his head and replied with a face full of helplessness:
"Two children have excellent talent, both being Innate Full Spirit Power, but their Spirits are actually both the trash Spirit, Blue Silver Grass."
"What future could such a garbage Spirit have? Even if they absorb a spirit ring and become a Spirit Master, they will be the most garbage of Spirit Masters."
After speaking, Su Yuntao hurried toward the next village without looking back.
Old Jack, standing frozen in place, didn't come to his senses for a long time. Two children had the best talent, but they possessed the most garbage Spirits.
This gave Old Jack the urge to vomit blood!
Soon, all the children walked out of the wooden house, with Lu Chen and Tang San walking at the very back.
Old Jack looked at Lu Chen and Tang San at the back. His heart stirred, and he quickly asked,
"Xiao Chen, Little San, the Lord Spirit Master just said that two children have excellent talent but awakened the most garbage Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul. He wasn't talking about you two, was he?"
Lu Chen glanced at Tang San and replied,
"Grandpa Village Chief, he was talking about us."
Tang San followed with a nod after Lu Chen finished speaking.
Old Jack felt his vision go dark, once again feeling the urge to vomit blood. The two children he favored most had indeed lived up to expectations with excellent talent, yet they hadn't awakened good Spirits.
Old Jack beat his chest and stamped his feet for a while. Only after a long time did he furrow his brows and say with a face full of misery,
"Xiao Chen, Little San, you both have the talent to become Spirit Masters. Even the most garbage Blue Silver Grass Spirit Master is still a Spirit Master, which is more than us ordinary people can compare to."
"Unfortunately, our Saint Spirit Village only has one quota for a Work-Study Student. Between the two of you, only one can use this Work-Study Student quota."
"Come with me. I will discuss it with your parents. We'll all draw lots to see who gets to use this Work-Study Student quota."
"As for the other person, we'll think of another way. If all else fails, I'll risk this old face of mine to ask other villages if they have any vacant Work-Study Student quotas."
Old Jack's voice was firm. He was determined to support Lu Chen and Tang San's education; even the most garbage Blue Silver Grass Spirit Master was better than staying in the village as an ordinary person.
In the following time, Old Jack, Tang San, Lu Chen, and Lu Chen's parents went together to Tang San's home.
Both of Lu Chen's parents were present. Although they were the most ordinary of farmers, his parents weren't like that drunkard Tang Hao.
Lu Chen's parents had accompanied him to the Spirit awakening. As for that drunkard Tang Hao, after getting drunk, he was probably still snoring away at home, so everyone had to go to his house to discuss.
