002 Martial Soul

"Look, Master Sylus is here!"

A guy, around his late twenties, slowly made his way from the building. His dress was made with high-quality materials and looked clean, at least compared to the villagers, It was a huge difference.

"Everyone is here? It looks like there’s not many kids awakening this time." Sylus glanced at the children, who suddenly became very silent; his eyes paused at Meng Di. Mainly because of how different he looked among the children.

"Yes, yes. Master, there are only ten kids this year." Another village head spoke up, respectfully.

"Send them inside one by one." After saying this, Sylus went back inside the hall.

The three village heads gathered the children to psychologically prepare them with some words.

"Master Sylus was a two-ring soul master last year. I don't know what level he is in now." One old man sighed thinking about it. Although they couldn’t be soul masters themselves, they liked to talk about soul masters.

The first kid to enter was a fat guy. He entered with his chest puffing up, full of arrogance.
But after five minutes, he ran out crying.

Seeing this one of the old men sighed.

One by one, kids entered and exited. Some felt aggrieved, some crying, and only a few smiling.

One girl was one of them, who awakened an Ivy martial soul with level two soul power. The village head was laughing holding her. The other two were sour.

Meng Di was the last to enter.

The hall was huge; it was hard to believe it was just an unknown branch of an organization. It only proved how powerful it was.

Sylus was standing at the very end with three soul rings shining around him. White, yellow, yellow. One spear was held in his hand, probably his martial soul.

Sylus waved at him, "Come here. Stand inside the hexagon. I will start to awaken your martial soul. Try to feel your martial soul."

Meng Di obediently walked up to the hexagon and felt the warm feeling of his soul being soothed. The warm current ran all over his acupuncture points, making him relaxed. He closed his eyes and tried to feel his mart

Just then he felt something emerging from his hands.

He put both of his hands out. A silver card materialized in his hands with stardust flowing around; it shone brightly from time to time. The aura was mysterious and holy.

Of course, Meng Di was not surprised by the aura. It was his most known aura of destiny and future. What surprised him was the silver card.

"Mom also had a card, but that was just a thin paper-like card; why is my martial soul metallic?"

Sylus, who was shocked to see the awakening, felt this martial soul was no ordinary one. He heard Meng Di's doubt and replied, "It can undergo mutation. Martial souls can either undergo mutation in a good direction or a bad direction. But I feel like yours is in a good direction. Come on, let's try to test the soul power level. If there's no soul power, it's all empty talk."

Meng Di nodded and put his hand on the ball handed over to him by Sylus. All the warm current felt earlier rushed out of his hand and entered the ball. The ball gradually brightened until it was fully lit.

Sylus's eyes also brightened up. "It is really innately full of soul power. It’s really level 10."

"Level 10? Is it powerful?" Meng Di looked at the brightly lit ball and asked.

"Of course. It is the highest soul power one can be born with! You just need a soul ring and you can step into the world of soul master." Sylus excitedly explained.

"Kid, you have a promising future. Do you want to join Martial Soul Hall? If you join, we will help you get a soul ring, and you will get a soul master subsidy every month from now on."

Meng Di didn’t agree. He didn’t want to be part of any organizations or powers. As for money, he could earn himself. But listening to how generous this Martial Soul Hall was to commoners, it seemed very powerful. It wouldn’t be worthy to risk his life by offending it.

So he avoided answering directly. "I have to ask my mom."

Sylus also calmed down. He patted him on the shoulder, "No need to be pressured. Let her think about it slowly. Our martial soul hall welcomes genius soul masters like you."

"Thank you master Sylus." Meng Di bowed to him respectfully.

"It's okay. Let me go and get you your awakening certificate. Oh right, what's the name of your martial soul? Since it mutated in your hands, you have the right to name it."

Meng Di summoned his martial soul again. The silver card with shimmers was linked to his soul. He looked at it and thought for a while.

"Starlight Card." Can predict destiny.

"Starlight card? Then I will write it down." Sylus handed him a certificate with Martial Soul Hall's stamp. "You can enter any soul master academy with this certificate."

"Thank you master Sylus."

"Oh, you kid is too polite." Sylus laughed and walked with him to the door.

The village head was not very enthusiastic towards Meng Di. He was already sitting with an impatient look.

But Sylus's next words not only surprised him but also the other two old men. The way the village head looked at him also changed.

"Meng Di, you really awakened a good martial soul?"

Meng Di nodded without speaking.

Sylus spoke, "Not only the powerful martial soul but he is also full of soul power. He is a half step into the soul master world."

Every kid looked at Meng Di with curious eyes and envy.

The three old men talked a lot, but Meng Di remained silent until he was asked to return home.

On the way, the village head talked a lot about the soul masters while Meng Di listened carefully to understand this world better.

"Right, this time our village quota to work-study students in Xinhai City Academy will be given to you. Talk to your mother and discuss about it. We still have three months to join."

The old man kindly walked him to the door of his home.

When Meng Di entered the house, he found his mother cooking while distracted.

"Mom, I am back."

His voice startled Xu Lin. She hurriedly put down the spatula and carefully checked him. Seeing that Meng Di was no different from before, she was relieved. She was very nervous thinking Meng Di would be upset after awakening his martial soul.

"Did you awaken your martial soul successfully?"

Meng Di smiled and nodded. He summoned his martial soul before her. "Look, mom. My martial soul, Starlight Card."

Xu Lin looked at the martial soul in a daze and asked carefully about his soul power.

"Master Sylus said, it was innately full of soul power. I can be a soul master with just a soul ring. Mom, you don't have to work so hard anymore. I can support us both." Meng Di said.

Xu Lin felt tears coming out of her eyes and hugged him tightly. "Good."
