Su Yuntao held the crystal ball and stood in front of Tang San, looking impatient and not even bothering to glance at the crystal ball.
But in the next moment, dazzling light burst from the crystal ball, instantly illuminating the entire room.
A smile finally appeared on Old Jack's face. Su Yuntao also lowered his head in shock, staring in disbelief at the crystal ball that was erupting with brilliant blue light.
"In... Innate Full Soul Power!" He was so shocked that his speech stuttered.
"How is this possible?" He exclaimed again.
Finally, he took the crystal ball away and looked at Tang San with a complicated expression.
"Innate Full Soul Power... What a pity it's wasted." Su Yuntao felt genuine pain and regret. If only Tang San's martial soul weren't Blue Silver Grass, how wonderful that would be.
Tang San seized on this new term, "Innate Full Soul Power," and quickly asked about it.
Perhaps because he felt sympathy for Tang San, Su Yuntao actually became patient and explained some soul master knowledge to him.
In the end, Su Yuntao kept shaking his head: "What a shame, truly. Innate Full Soul Power is a genius that appears only once in a hundred years, but unfortunately, it had to be paired with such a trash martial soul. Otherwise I could have..."
Tang San did not become disappointed because of Su Yuntao's words. He calmly stepped aside and curiously looked at Jiang Chen, who was next in line.
If there was one person in his heart who was the most mysterious, it was undoubtedly Jiang Chen.
Even though more than a year had passed, he still vividly remembered the bone-chilling cold aura that came from Jiang Chen. If it hadn't been just a tiny trace of that yin-cold aura that had entered his body back then, he probably would have suffered greatly.
In his previous life as a Tang Sect disciple, he was most knowledgeable about poisons, yet he could not identify what kind of poison was contained within Jiang Chen's aura.
That poison was simply too overbearing. Just a tiny trace had almost completely exhausted his Mysterious Heaven Skill inner strength.
He had once suspected it might be corpse poison, but later rejected the idea. In his previous life, corpse poison was something that only existed in legends; he had never actually seen it.
Moreover, legend said corpse poison existed in zombies, but judging from his observations, Jiang Chen didn't resemble the zombies from legends at all.
Jiang Chen's mysteriousness had long ago caused Tang San to regard him as someone on the same level as himself, or perhaps even more dangerous.
He was extremely curious: what kind of martial soul would Jiang Chen awaken? Would it also be a trash martial soul like his?
Without needing Su Yuntao to instruct him, Jiang Chen had already stepped into the awakening formation.
Seeing Jiang Chen's serious expression, Su Yuntao, who had already started to feel impatient, also became serious. Awakening the martial souls of all the children was his duty after all.
"Close your eyes and carefully feel it."
Jiang Chen obediently closed his eyes and began to sense.
Su Yuntao activated the formation. Right from the beginning, large amounts of golden light spots surged out, densely packed, almost filling the entire light barrier.
"This..." Su Yuntao was greatly shocked. His eyes suddenly brightened, emitting a faint green glow.
He had never seen anyone produce so many light spots during awakening. This was extremely abnormal.
More and more golden light spots appeared, emerging far faster than Jiang Chen could absorb them. In the blink of an eye, the entire wooden house had turned golden and dazzling.
But no one closed their eyes. Enduring the discomfort, they all stared at Jiang Chen inside the formation.
Old Jack's and Su Yuntao's eyes were especially bright, their faces unable to hide their excitement. With such an unprecedented spectacle, perhaps an unparalleled and powerful martial soul was about to appear.
"Don't stop, feel it with your heart!" Su Yuntao shouted.
More and more light spots appeared. The time that had passed already far exceeded the awakening time of everyone before him, yet the light spots continued to pour out endlessly, while Jiang Chen still showed no sign of releasing his martial soul.
Su Yuntao's expression was filled with both excitement and growing anxiety.
He had never even heard of such a situation. Among all the deacons in Notting City's Spirit Hall, no one had ever encountered anything like this.
And in all the various strange awakening cases recorded by Spirit Hall during their training, there was also no description of a situation like Jiang Chen's.
"Could this be the emergence of an entirely new and powerful martial soul?" Su Yuntao's face flushed red with excitement, almost unable to control himself.
If he could awaken a powerful martial soul and recruit Jiang Chen into Spirit Hall, then his promotion, salary increase, and winning a rich and beautiful wife would practically be guaranteed.
But after another moment passed, Jiang Chen's martial soul still had not manifested, making him even more anxious.
Crack... Crack...
Su Yuntao's expression changed. He saw cracks actually appearing on the six black energy stones. Immediately after, a huge mass of golden light flew out, and all poured into Jiang Chen's body.
At this moment, Jiang Chen finally changed.
From behind him, endless black mist began to surge. The black mist was thick as ink, carrying an evil and chilling aura that made people's backs turn cold involuntarily.
Su Yuntao's heart pounded violently. A sense of deadly crisis enveloped him. What kind of martial soul was this? It had only just awakened, yet it already made him, a twenty-sixth-ranked Great Soul Master, feel danger.
"Everyone, get out, quickly!" He suddenly roared.
The other children and Old Jack had already been frightened by the aura coming from Jiang Chen until their legs trembled. How could they dare to stay? They immediately rushed out as if escaping for their lives.
But Tang San still stood in place, staring solemnly at the area behind Jiang Chen.
It was this aura, extremely yin-cold, as if coming from the nine hells, and also carrying strong, overbearing toxicity, that made even a Tang Sect disciple like him feel a headache.
Now he finally understood: the poison in Jiang Chen came from his martial soul.
He didn't want to leave. He wanted to see exactly what Jiang Chen's martial soul was. Perhaps through Jiang Chen's martial soul, he could figure out what that overbearing poison actually was.
"Little San, come out quickly!" Old Jack anxiously shouted from outside the door.
However, the black mist behind Jiang Chen changed once again.
The rolling black mist surged, and gradually, a humanoid figure appeared within that black mist, faint and indistinct.
Everyone could only see that the creature within the black mist wore very strange, ancient clothing. Its face was also completely covered by thick black mist, making it impossible to see clearly.
Suddenly, within the churning black mist, the mist covering the mysterious figure's face thinned slightly. Two blood-red beams shot out from its eyes, and two terrifying fangs were faintly visible.
In the instant the black mist rolled, Tang San clearly saw that the mysterious figure was actually a green-faced, fanged zombie!
That green-faced, fanged zombie raised its head and let out a soundless screech. A surging pressure swept out, causing everyone's hearts to pound violently in terror.
At this moment, how could Tang San dare to stay any longer? He turned and ran out like a wisp of smoke.
Only the dumbfounded Su Yuntao remained standing there. Even with his strength as a Great Soul Master, he felt immense pressure under this mysterious martial soul, a heavy feeling pressing down on his heart.
And at that very moment, Tang Hao, who had been sitting in his own house, suddenly raised his head and looked toward the center of the village. His turbid eyes erupted with terrifying light.
"Such strong resentment, such evil aura... what exactly is this?"
While his voice still echoed in the room, Tang Hao's figure had already disappeared. In an instant, he arrived outside the Spirit Hall, standing behind the crowd, his gaze firmly locked on Jiang Chen inside.
