3 Martial Soul Awakening
Three days passed very quickly, Tang Yun left the house to sell and deliver the tools he forged yesterday, before the sun rise.
Tang San still went to the hilltop in the early morning to do his routine exercise every day, and returned home afterward. In addition to cooking, he was also forging, testing his strength against that piece of pig iron. Every day the tempo of the beats increased. Mysterious Heaven Skill helped him recover physical strength quickly, so that he could especially maintain this continuous forging process.
"Little Yun, little San, grandpa has come to get you."
Old Jack punctually came to the smithy, this time he didn't even go inside, only calling Tang Yun and Tang San from the outside.
Tang San glanced at his father by his side who just now had eaten. Tang Hao indifferently said:
"Go. Don't delay midday cooking."
Tang San promised to be back soon, then left the smithy.
After Tang San came outside, he said, "Brother still haven't home yet, but he already told me yesterday that he will come and will just be late."
Old man Jack replied, "I see, that Tang Hao.... He actually let's his children do the tasks he should have."
Tang San was silent. Old man Jack looked at Tang San's eyes and sighed, "Hayy..... Let's go, little San."
With old Jack leading, Tang San followed him to the Spirit Hall in the middle of the village. Naturally, this so-called Spirit Hall was merely a large log cabin, nothing more.
Because everyone had spirits, every year would have children undergoing spirit awakening. Therefore, Spirit Halls could be found everywhere on the Continent. Naturally, these were all only subsidiary halls, there was a distinct hierarchy.
The village children didn't have a very good opinion of either Tang Yun and Tang San. To favor the rich and disdain the poor is an ability not only among nobles, among common people the circumstances are instead even more distinct. With Tang San originally being a reincarnated person and his real age having long ago exceeded 30, naturally he was also unwilling to come into contact with these children. To him, spare time was better spent on cultivation, consequently, he of course only had one childhood playmate, and that was his brother.
In addition to village elder Jack and eight children present, there was also one youth in the Spirit Hall. This person appeared to be just over 20 years old, dashing eyebrows slanting above starry eyes, his facial features extremely bright and handsome. He was dressed completely in brilliant white clothes, a black cloak on his back, and right on the center of his chest, above his heart, was a palm sized 'spirit' character. This was standard attire for staff directly subordinate to Spirit Hall.
On the left side of the chest was a carved badge with three crossed long swords. It seemed like Jack knew this kind of Soul Master well; three in quantity represented a Spirit Master of third degree, titled Soul Grandmaster, and the long swords represented this Spirit Hall attendant was a Battle Spirit Master.
Old man Jack greeted the Soul Grandmaster and bowed respectfully.
The centre of the Soul Grandmaster's forehead betrayed an indifferent arrogance. Indifferently bowing slightly, he at last returned the greeting, "My time is scarce, let's begin."
Old man Jack motivated the children, but the Soul Grandmaster replied, "Very well, you said the same thing last year. Do you think becoming a Spirit Master is really that easy? I already passed six villages, and not one of them had a person with spirit power. They also didn't have suitable spirits."
Old Jack's eyes showed a trace of dejection, sighing, he said," Yes, ah! Only one in very many inherit the aptitude to actually become a Spirit Master. Among us ordinary people, it is indeed most difficult."
Shaking his head, he moved away from the Soul Grandmaster.
The The Soul Grandmaster's gaze fell on the eight children before him. As a Spirit Hall inspecting attendant, helping ordinary people undergo spirit awakening was his compulsory assignment, and he was long since used to it.
"Children, line up."
Towards these children, his manner was quite lukewarm.
But suddenly, another child came to the scene and said, "I'm here, I apologize for being late."
Looking backwards, Tang San saw his brother and whispered to him to to stand behind him.
The eight children stood in order before the youngster, Tang San stood at the leftmost side. He was a little thinner and smaller than other children his age. On the other hand, Tang Yun's body isn't that of a child, as it was filled with muscles.
The Soul Grandmaster introduced himself and told the children to follow his words and said, "Don't be afraid, close your eyes and feel carefully."
While speaking, Su Yuntao's eyes suddenly lit up, and before the children's appalled eyes, he shouted in a deep voice," Lone Wolf Body Enhancement."
A few moments had passed, the Soul Master's eyes were filled with resentment. Since the children he awakened were trash.
Now, there are currently two children left he need to awaken. He wants to finish it as quickly as possible to go to another village.
At long last it was Tang San's turn, Su Yuntao didn't have to speak, he already stepped ahead to stand in the centre of the six pitch black stones.
A moment later, Tang San awakened his martial soul.
It was a blue silver grass, the other children who awakened earlier than him laughed since it was a trash among the trash spirits.
Su Yuntao had no choice but to say, "Again a useless spirit, it seems. Holy Spirit village this time was again a waste of time. Ok, last children, you can come now."
"Uncle, you still have not let me undergo spirit power test, right." Tang San said.
Su Yuntao replied, "No need to test. Blue silver grass, for this useless spirit I still have never seen one instance where spirit power appeared."
"Let me give it a try, uncle."
Tang San persistently said. When the golden light brought the warm feeling inside him, it produced a strange sensation, as if a great door opened and caused a subtle change in his Mysterious Heaven skill. At the same time, he also very much wanted to know, what the actual difference was between his inner strength and this world's spirit.
Su Yuntao was dumbfounded all of a sudden, turning around, to Tang San's calm and rather steadfast gaze. In his heart musing, this child was seemingly out of the ordinary," Very well."
he said.
Tang San used his Martial Soul and touched the crystal ball.
"Heavens, it actually is innate full spirit power!" Su Yuntao exclaimed.
Tang San naturally also noticed that his situation was different from the other children's test. Feeling uncertain, he asked,
"Uncle, what is innate full spirit power?"
Su Yuntao dully looked at him, and subconsciously explained.
"Ehem, it seems it's my turn now." Tang Yun said.
Looking at him, Su Yuntao noticed that Tang Yun is similar to Tang San, and hopes that his Innate spirit power will be similar to him, but will have a better Martial Soul.
"Come." Su Yuntao responded.
Tang Yun felt something awakening inside him. While in the process of awakening, his hair slowly turned white. Nothing else happened after his hair turned white though.
"Hahahahaha!" A kid in the corner chukkled and continued, "They truly are brothers, both have a trash among the trash Martial Souls. A Martial Soul that could only turn your hair white? How ridiculous."
After saying it, the other children burst to laughter.

Tang Yun seeing this smiled, knowing how powerful his Martial Soul actually is, and he's even happy to finally open his system and that his other Martial Soul is useful for him. He also noticed that after deactivating his Martial Soul, his hair color returned to black.
Su Yuntao's eyes became dull. He wants to leave immediately, but he still let Tang Yun measured his Innate power.
Tang Yun touched it and it bursted with light. But unlike Tang San, Tang Yun actually destroyed it.
"HEAVENS, WHAT THE F-.." Su Yuntao shouted.
A/N: The protagonist's innate power is similar to Qian Renxue's. Tang Yun is already a Soul Master from the start (Level 20).
