"Huh?"
"It's over?"
Everything was happening so fast.
Before Tang San could react, Su Yuntao rejected his plan.
"Is my spirit useless?"
He couldn't help but mutter to himself.
He found it difficult to accept this outcome.
At the same time, the inexplicable feeling of weakness returned.
Tang San was surprised to find that the fluctuations of his Xuantian Gong seemed to have weakened considerably.
What on earth was going on?! "Don't just stand there. Didn't you hear me say next?"
"I'm busy!"
Just then, Su Yuntao's somewhat impatient voice rang out.
If nothing unexpected happens, it's likely these villages won't produce another Spirit Master this year.
A useless Martial Spirit, Blue Silver Grass?
So what if it has Level 5 Spirit Power?
It's still useless.
"I'm sorry, Master of War!"
Tang San, as if waking from a dream, bowed and nodded repeatedly in apology.
Then he quickly retreated to the back.
Then, Gu Xian calmly stood in the center of the six black stones.
Su Yuntao nodded, and he didn't waste any words.
He simply raised his hand and, as if on an assembly line, injected Spirit Power expressionlessly.
A pale golden light gradually brightened.
Immediately, warm energy enveloped Gu Xian's body.
Golden dots of light danced within the golden light shield.
"Oh?"
Su Yuntao's tired eyes suddenly widened.
"Is there a chance?"
His gaze slowly settled on Gu Xian's outstretched right hand.
The golden light gradually receded, then suddenly burst forth.
At the same moment, a sickle appeared in Gu Xian's palm.
A simple, unadorned sickle.
It looked just like the sickle that Uncle Wang used to mow grass at the east end of the village.
Su Yuntao frowned. He had originally thought this child would awaken some impressive martial spirit.
Who would have thought it would be another farm implement?
He shook his head helplessly. He had come to the village to awaken his martial spirit.
It was better not to hold out any hope. "Weapon Spirit, Scythe, let me test your spirit power." Su Yuntao calmly handed the blue crystal ball to Gu Xian. Gu Xian then placed his right hand on it. The moment it touched, a faint light lit up on the sphere. Then a second, a third. From point to point, a line formed, from line to line, the blue light quickly spread across the entire sphere. The faint blue light was identical to Tang San's previous level five spirit power. "Level five spirit power." Su Yuntao, who had already given up hope, frowned again. A level five spirit power sickle. It was hard to say whether it was good or bad. This innate spirit power wasn't outstanding. Furthermore, the spirit was truly ordinary. Even if one could barely cultivate to become a spirit master... In the end, it's probably unlikely that there will be any major breakthroughs.
He'll spend his entire life stuck in the 20th or 30th level zone.
Thinking of this, Su Yuntao shook his head with some regret.
Then, he quickly packed up his things.
He picked up his bag and walked outside.
"Old Jack."
The door opened, and Old Jack greeted Su Yuntao with a nervous look.
"Master, how is it? Are there any children in our village who could become soul masters this year?"
Su Yuntao looked at him and sighed.
"There are two, but it's a pity."
Old Jack's eyes flashed with uncertainty, and he asked tentatively:
"Master, what do you mean?"
Su Yuntao shook his head slightly.
"Of these eight children this year, only two possess soul power."
"And both have innate level five soul power."
"Unfortunately, one of them has the useless Blue Silver Grass spirit, and the other has an ordinary sickle."
A hint of surprise flashed across Old Jack's face.
In previous years, there weren't even a single child with soul power.
Not only were there two this year, but they were also Level 5.
This was quite unexpected.
Just then, a group of children from the cabin emerged.
"Master of War Spirits, what about these two children?"
Su Yuntao understood Old Jack's meaning.
He casually waved his hand, pointing to the two children in the front row.
They were Gu Xian and Tang San.
The latter possessed a useless Spirit Blue Silver Grass. Despite possessing Level 5 Spirit Power, the Spirit Hall would most likely not consider him.
Therefore, Su Yuntao set his sights on Gu Xian.
"You can certainly train with your sickle. If you'd like, come with me to the Spirit Hall."
Gu Xian shook his head without hesitation.
How could he possibly trick Tang San in the Spirit Hall?
However, his expression remained perfectly normal.
Su Yuntao nodded gently and left Holy Soul Village without saying anything else.
Old Jack wasn't disappointed.
Gu Xian had no parents, so he probably wouldn't want such a young child to go to the Spirit Hall alone.
He sent the others home before speaking earnestly,
"Tell me, you two, if you're willing to go to a specialized school to learn the cultivation methods of a Spirit Master?"
"Only there can you find the most accurate knowledge about Spirits."
The school he was referring to was, of course, the Notting Junior Spirit Master Academy.
If the two of them were willing to go together, they could look after each other.
Gu Xian nodded without a second thought.
Only Tang San, beside him, fell into deep thought, seemingly hesitant.
He was currently overwhelmed by the issue of the Mysterious Heavenly Art.
And he was also very weak.
But Tang San, for one, had developed a strong interest in the spirit.
He strongly suspected it was related to his own Xuantian Gong.
There was another, most important issue: this required the approval of his father, Tang Hao.
Tang San's own words were of no use.
"Grandpa Jack, you need to ask my father about this."
"I'll go talk to him myself!"
Old Jack knew Tang Hao's temper.
So, he immediately took Gu Xian and Tang San away.
After sending Gu Xian home, he followed Tang San into the next door.
Although Holy Soul Village only had one place available for a part-time student at the Notting Junior Spirit Master Academy,
If nothing unexpected happened, the surrounding villages would be the same as in previous years.
Not a single child with spirit power.
He would then go directly to the old village chief next door and ask for one.
Two soul masters will soon emerge from his Holy Soul Village.
I'm not worried that Old Deng won't agree.
Upon returning home, Gu Xian immediately shut the doors and windows.
Then he summoned the system in his mind.
"System, where are my novice quest rewards?"
If I remember correctly, the system seemed to have mentioned that after my spirit awakens.
My sickle spirit will also receive a wave of upgrades, right?
"Swish!"
The moment the words fell, a blue screen of light appeared out of thin air before Gu Xian's eyes.
If nothing unexpected happened, this was the system interface.
The layout of the interface was also very simple.
It was divided into only three sections.
[Host Information]
[System Warehouse]
[System Mall]
At this moment, the system's beautiful voice echoed in Gu Xian's mind.
[Ding! ]
[Spirit Upgrade Card has been issued to the system warehouse!]
[Host can choose to activate and use it!]
Gu Xian nodded.
Then he directly clicked on the system warehouse.
The light screen interface changed, transforming into a series of independent warehouses.
Without a second thought, he directly clicked on the first one, [Spirit Upgrade Card].
[Ding! Spirit Upgrade Card successfully used!]
[Spirit Evolution: Normal Scythe → Shadow Scythe!]
