Chapter 5: The best candidate for witch Pathway, Tang Wulin
Aolai City is a small coastal city on the east coast of the Sun Moon Federation. And with the annual awakening day has arrived, the city is particularly lively.
Not only are many parents bringing their children to awaken their martial spirits, but there are also some soul masters performing various acts with their martial spirits.
Most of them have a white soul ring and a martial spirit like a rat, a cat, or some plant. Some do it just for fun, while others do it to make money.
"Uncle Xu Lie, why are they performing with their martial spirits?" Adam asked curiously.
Seeing something he hadn't seen before while reading comics, Adam was somewhat amused. Generally, the sources of entertainment in the Douluo Continent can be divided into two categories:
Love and fighting.
Look at the Shrek Blind Date, the Sea God's Fate. Besides fighting, they just use the academy as a place to make love!
No wonder readers often say this place is the Love Brain Continent.
Not only that, their predecessor, Tang San, was so infatuated with love that he actually caused so much harm to this continent for 20,000 years. Only when the Divine Realm was blown away by a time-space turbulence was the Douluo Continent able to flourish.
Heck, they even managed to perform space travel!
"Well, they are soul masters qualified to cultivate and will never reach the Great Soul Master realm in their lifetime. So, they use their martial spirits to make money," Uncle Xu Lie explained slowly.
"In the past, the profession of soul master might have been considered noble, but right now, in the federation, we have no shortage of soul masters. There are many soul masters who possess innate soul power but whose talents aren't suited to this profession. So they live lives not much different from ordinary humans."
Oh, so that's how it is.
No wonder I saw many performing similar street performances.
The two of them saw one soul master who could be considered unique. His martial spirit seemed to materialize in reality, existing as an independent body besides the soul master.
He held a copper ring and threw it into the air. The little bird flew around, enjoying the amazed looks of the surrounding children and parents.
Seizing the right moment, he threw the ring into the air with precision.
"Xiao Feng, go!"
At its master's command, the little bird flew across the ring in the air with considerable agility. Its speed seemed faster than that of a normal bird of its kind.
Below the soul master's feet, a white soul ring lit up like a dimmed light. Amidst everyone's amazed expressions, Adam observed and applauded, like the others.
"That man has a talent as a magician," Adam couldn't help but think.
His trick was good, and he captured what the children wanted to see. Even the parents accompanying their children joined in the applause.
'A magician always comes prepared.'
Uncle Xu Lie and Adam left after giving some credits for the soul master's performance. Hongshan College itself wasn't too far from their house. It was only a 30-minute walk before they arrived.
"Adam, no matter whether you have soul power or not, Uncle will always help you," Uncle Xu Lie said softly.
"Uncle, I will definitely have soul power!" Adam said in a somewhat childish voice. He looked cute when he said it. Coupled with his golden hair and blue eyes, and the white robe he wore, even Uncle was touched when he saw him.
What a lovely child.
Some people's attention was momentarily drawn to Adam, but slowly and unconsciously, they began to ignore him and no longer looked at him. There were many things their parents needed to do, so they didn't pay much attention to Adam.
As the sun grew stronger, many of the children had awakened their martial spirits. Adam was still waiting for his name to be called and sat in the chair without anyone bothering him.
"Tang Wulin!" A teacher walked out of Hongshan College, looked at the form in his hand, and called out a name.
"I'm here!" The pretty little boy's eyes jumped, and he jumped up with excitement.
Adam also saw that pretty boy. He held his chin, and his blue eyes flickered with excitement.
Tang Wulin, the son of the sea god. You can say that he is the protagonist of this era, the vassal of the golden dragon king, and the Future of God of destruction.
A sunny boy with a bright future. A pretty boy that almost like porcelain, he even has some charm that can attract people around him. And he will even join the assassin sect that his father founded.
The most important thing, he is willing to die for love!
"Wow, he really is the best candidate for the witch pathway!"
Like all the Lord of Mysteries fan knows. The sentimental witch dies for love, the hunter dies because of loyalty, the lawyer sacrifices himself for order, the judge never understands the law, the thief while stealing everything, has nothing left, and the visionary who created everything never exists.
It's really an irony. The hunter can't even provoke, and the witch will eventually fall in love.
"Adam!" Another teacher comes out with another list in her hand. She called out a name that sounded strange, but she didn't mind it.
"I'm here," Adam responded and followed the teacher.
Uncle Xu lie looked nervous seeing his friend's son enter a circular building. This place can be found in every elementary school that is specifically designed to help six-year olds awaken their martial spirit.
Adam was taken to one of the rooms where a spiritual master was waiting for him. He showed a curious expression that a child has.
Although in his previous life he was merely an office worker, with the knowledge of body language provided by the potion, simulating expressions wasn't too difficult.
The ground and walls were all engraved with some pattern. Based on his knowledge, this pattern's overall function was to help spiritual soul masters from the Spirit Pagoda awaken their martial spirits.
But in his opinion, this pattern was rather crude. It had no value and couldn't even be used continuously, or it would break. The pattern itself needed to be re-engraved after the awakening ceremony ended.
Adam's attention was drawn to the tired-looking spiritual master. The teacher who had brought Adam in didn't dare disturb the spiritual master from the Spirit Pagoda and sensed he was waiting in the outside room.
Tired, bored, and sicken.
Although his face displayed a friendly smile, his other body movements, such as tapping on the table, and his gaze only briefly glanced at Adam. Although he appeared professional, none of this escaped Adam's observation.
"Hello," Adam greeted in a moderate tone.
The spiritual master looked surprised. Usually, when children come to the awakening room, they only have two expressions. Either they're excited and will ask all the boring questions, or they'll be timid, but their curiosity can't be hidden from their eyes.
But what did he see in this child? Eyes that showed curiosity when he first arrived, but not too much. He could even see that Adam's curiosity was different from other children.
He was interested, but not too much. Like seeing something that amuses him for a moment before losing interest.
The spiritual master could see this because his martial spirit was his eye. Or rather, a spirit eye like the founder of the spirit pagoda 10,000 years ago!
And his first soul skill was observation. He acquired it from the spirit pagoda when he joined in the past.
