Chapter 6: Invitation to Join the Spirit Hall.
Just as Xuan Mo was about to lose himself in thought, Su Yuntao's next words instantly calmed him down.
Su Yuntao crouched down, looked at Xuan Mo seriously, and asked, "Little fellow, you are a rare genius once in decades. I now formally invite you to join our Spirit Hall. Are you willing?"
Having calmed down, Xuan Mo listened to Su Yuntao's words and didn't immediately choose to join or refuse.
Honestly, Xuan Mo didn't dislike the Spirit Hall at all. At least, they treated civilian spirit masters much better than the two great empires. However, for his own future and his family, he couldn't make a decision outright.
Su Yuntao had originally thought that persuading Xuan Mo to join the Spirit Hall was a sure thing.
But when he saw Xuan Mo hesitate, Su Yuntao was not only surprised, but also panicked.
He quickly said to Xuan Mo, "As long as you join our Spirit Hall, your future will be limitless."
"You should know that our Spirit Hall prioritizes the training of young spirit masters. A talent like you, upon joining the Spirit Hall, will undoubtedly receive ample training resources, ensuring a rapid increase in your spirit power."
"And as for your spirit rings, we guarantee we'll find the most suitable ones for you, with the optimal age."
Xuan Mo was clearly tempted by Su Yuntao's words.
However, when he thought about the trajectory of Douluo Continent, he hesitated to respond. Instead, he said he needed to think it over and let Su Yuntao help the last boy awaken his spirit first.
After all, he needed some time to consider and weigh the pros and cons.
"Ah! Fine,"
Su Yuntao sighed helplessly. He knew he couldn't force it, lest he offend the future masters.
"Come on, the last one..."
As Su Yuntao helped the last boy awaken his spirit, Xuan Mo, like the children who had previously awakened their spirit power, stepped aside, adored by the children's admiring gazes.
While Xuan Mo pondered, he waited for the Spirit Hall's certificate.
As he pondered, the boy finally completed his Spirit Awakening Ceremony.
Sadly, the boy ran out in tears. Not only was his Spirit a useless Wild Flower, but even his Innate Spirit Power was "nothing."
Xuan Mo felt pity for him, but he said nothing. After all, this was reality: "Everything is determined by fate, not even the slightest bit of human control."
Su Yuntao then issued certificates to the children who had awakened their Spirits, letting them leave one by one.
Finally, Xuan Mo was the only one left.
While Su Yuntao wrote Xuan Mo's Spirit Awakening Certificate, he asked him about his Spirit's basic characteristics, completing the certificate. Finally...
"What do you think, little one? Are you willing to join the Spirit Hall?"
Su Yuntao looked at Xuan Mo and offered him again.
But Xuan Mo's response disappointed him. He shook his head, declining.
"Thank you, Master Su Yuntao. I've decided not to join the Spirit Hall."
Xuan Mo had carefully considered the reasons.
First, joining the Spirit Hall or studying there would indeed bring him many benefits.
However, for someone like him without any significant influence, given the Spirit Hall's dominance, he might be forced to serve the Spirit Hall forever.
However, this was not what he wanted.
Secondly, the Spirit Hall's current Pope, Bibi Dong, was already twisted.
Judging from the general trend, one of Bibi Dong's ultimate goals was to destroy the Spirit Hall.
If that were the case, he would probably suffer as well. Those who joined the Spirit Hall and gained prominence had a good ending.
Besides, even if he was gifted and lucky enough to catch Bibi Dong's eye, what would that mean?
At most, he would become one of the Spirit Hall's golden generation, like Yan and the others. As for a disciple, he didn't think he could become one.
Finally, if he joined the Spirit Hall, he would definitely do everything he could to improve his own strength. But improving strength is nothing more than the adventure of Tang San and the others. Not to mention whether he can get it, even if he gets it, he will lose the biggest advantage for himself at present.
On the contrary, if he follows the plot of the original work, he can maximize his benefits and walk the path to becoming a god. What's more...
Of course, these words naturally cannot be said to Su Yuntao, so he can only simply refuse.
Seeing this, Su Yuntao did not force it and did not say anything, but he had made up his mind in his heart.
Next, Su Yuntao decided to bypass Xuan Mo and communicate directly with Xuan Mo's parents about this matter.
Su Yuntao believed that Xuan Mo's parents would definitely not be stupid enough to refuse him.
Afterwards, Su Yuntao also handed the Spirit Hall certificate to Xuan Mo, and took Xuan Mo out of the Spirit Hall hall.
In the process of walking out of the Spirit Hall hall, Xuan Mo set his sights on the Spirit Awakening Certificate.
Name: Xuan Mo
Martial Soul: Taotie Divine Bull
Soul Power: Innate Level Nine
Soul Awakening Location: Soto City Soul Hall.
Soul Awakening Master: Su Yuntao.
Notes: This is a top-tier mutant beast soul, earth-based, possessing the bloodline of a true dragon.
Upon exiting the Soul Hall, Xuan Mo, having placed his Soul Hall certificate, was greeted by his parents.
Su Yuntao, upon seeing the approaching couple, immediately inquired, "Are you Xuan Mo's parents?"
Xuan Mo's parents looked at him anxiously, "Master, did our Xiao Mo offend you? We apologize. We'd like to apologize. Please consider Xiao Mo and let him go."
As they spoke, they began to kneel and plead.
Xuan Mo and Su Yuntao were now anxious. Xuan Mo simply felt his parents should not be wronged in this way.
Su Yuntao, on the other hand, was concerned about leaving a bad impression on Xuan Mo.
Su Yuntao intervened before Xuan Mo could, then said repeatedly, "That's not the case, you two. It's just that your child is extremely talented. I'd like to ask you to let your child join the Spirit Hall so that he can receive better training."
Xuan Mo, standing nearby, felt uneasy upon hearing Su Yuntao's words. He thought to himself, "You, Su Yuntao, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, are so kind! I thought you were an honest man, but I didn't expect you to pull such a tactic on me."
But it was too late for Xuan Mo to stop him.
Just as Xuan Mo's mother was about to happily agree, his father stopped her and said, "Xiao Mo has more ideas than we do. Let Xiao Mo choose his own future."
Xuan Mo was overjoyed upon hearing this and once again publicly declined Su Yuntao's invitation.
Su Yuntao also knew that this matter could not be forced.
So, after sighing regretfully at Xuan Mo, he said, "If you change your mind later, come to Notting City to find me." Then he packed his things and hurried away.
