The one held in front of the Papal Palace could detect soul power up to level 30. It was perfect for testing the innate soul power of a six-year-old child awakening their martial soul.
The cardinal presided over the awakening ceremony.
He injected soul power into the array and lit it up.
Then, one by one, the children entered the array under the guidance of a gentle-looking female instructor who appeared to be around thirty years old.
According to the procedure, the children awakened their martial soul, their innate soul power was tested, their information was recorded, and they were issued a soul master certificate. Because the ceremony was personally presided over by the Platinum Cardinal Sivis, who was at the Soul Douluo level,
the efficiency of awakening martial souls was very high, almost one person per minute.
Soon it was Jiang Hao's turn.
"Next, Jiang Hao," the female instructor said, holding a booklet.
At this moment, everyone looked at the six-year-old child in black tight-fitting clothes standing at the bottom of the steps, including some elders whose soul power level had reached the Title Douluo level.
Jiang Hao naturally sensed the gazes, and his small body felt slightly heavier. However, he didn't show any fear; instead, he strode confidently and steadily into the six-pointed star formation.
The cardinal used his soul power to arrange six black stones in a hexagonal shape on the ground, gesturing for Jiang Hao to walk to the center. Then, he swiftly clapped his hands, and six deep purple rays of light flowed into the six black stones.
Instantly, a layer of golden smoothness emanated from the six stones, forming a pale golden light shield that enveloped Jiang Hao. Golden light points floated out and entered his body.
Standing within the golden light shield, a warm aura continuously permeated Jiang Hao's body. Under the guidance of that warmth, a comfortable feeling instantly filled his entire body. He felt an invisible force about to be drawn out, but it seemed to be just a little short.
A minute quickly passed, and Jiang Hao looked at his hands; no martial soul had appeared. His face immediately turned into a bewildered expression, and he couldn't help but worry: "Could I have failed to awaken my martial soul?"
"Hmm?" The cardinal frowned slightly and increased his soul power output.
Two minutes passed, and Jiang Hao's hands were empty; his unique martial soul was still nowhere to be seen.
"Could it be..." The cardinal seemed to realize something.
A surge of joy welled up within him, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face. He understood that this was a sign of a top-tier martial soul appearing.
Having presided over martial soul awakening ceremonies for many years, he had long since discovered some patterns.
The higher the martial soul's grade and the higher its innate soul power level, the more soul power needed to be injected during awakening.
Now, when presiding over the ceremony, he could roughly predict the martial soul's grade and innate soul power level based on the amount of soul power input.
It was very likely that another peerless genius was about to be born under his guidance.
At this moment, the cardinal felt a mixture of nervousness, excitement, and anticipation, and he increased the amount of soul power he injected again.
However, another minute passed, and Jiang Hao's hands remained empty.
He cast a questioning glance at the cardinal beside him.
The cardinal was somewhat bewildered, then continued to increase his soul power output. His soul power level soared from Great Soul Master, Soul Venerable, Soul Sect Master, Soul King, to Soul Emperor…
without stopping.
The cardinal's expression finally changed.
At this point, he clearly felt that the awakening formation in front of him was like a bottomless pit, continuously draining his soul power.
This phenomenon was unprecedented and too bizarre.
He didn't understand.
But he didn't stop; instead, he continued to provide soul power.
The next moment, his soul power increased to the Soul Saint level.
At this moment, noticing the cardinal's unusual soul power fluctuations, Qian Daoliu, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them and stood up first. Several elders of the Spirit Hall also stood up abruptly.
They all looked at the cardinal in astonishment, as well as Jiang Hao, who was surrounded by golden light in the arena.
At this moment, Jiang Hao had already closed his eyes; he could feel something about to emerge from his body. Suddenly, a dark figure emerged from behind Jiang Hao.
The figure was like a pitch-black shadow, its shape and appearance exactly the same as Jiang Hao's. It was extremely unique, a somewhat blurry black shadow that gave people a sense of illusion.
A faint black light appeared on the surface of the shadowy figure, flickering like black flames.
The next moment,
after the illusory shadow appeared, Jiang Hao's body also began to gradually become ethereal in a strange way until it completely disappeared.
"He's become invisible?"
"What kind of martial soul is this?"
everyone exclaimed.
The cardinal's pupils contracted sharply, his face showing horror. What kind of awesome martial soul had he awakened?
Equally shocked were Qian Daoliu in the center of the hall and several other elders of the Spirit Hall.
Qian Daoliu's eyes flashed with golden light, and his tone became excited.
"Shadow Martial Soul." "
A born assassin of the night."
"The king of the darkness."
A flash of admiration suddenly appeared in Qian Daoliu's eyes. As a level 99 peerless Douluo, Qian Daoliu naturally saw the extraordinary nature of this martial soul at a glance.
The process of invisibility only lasted for about five seconds before Jiang Hao's figure reappeared.
But even so, it had already given the cardinal an immense shock.
He trembled with excitement, his body shaking uncontrollably. He stammered,
"What kind of martial soul is this?"
"I...I don't know either!"
Jiang Hao glanced around blankly, seeing everyone around him frozen in shock. His heart pounded. It seemed his martial soul was quite impressive.
He quickly suppressed his excitement and reminded the cardinal,
"Uncle Cardinal, it's time to test my soul power."
The cardinal readily agreed, his face beaming. He had awakened a peerless genius under his care; he'd have something to brag about now.
"Alright, alright, alright."
"Let's begin the soul power test."
The cardinal quickly handed a blue crystal ball to Jiang Hao. The
moment Jiang Hao grasped the blue crystal ball, a dazzling blue light shone forth.
In an instant, the blue light spread and filled the entire crystal ball, making it resemble a brilliant blue gem.
"Innate full soul power level ten?"
He'd struck gold today! The cardinal's face lit up with ecstasy.
According to traditional testing, even the slightest reaction from the crystal ball, even a sliver of light, proves the test subject possesses soul power. The crystal ball before us shines with such dazzling light, leaving only one explanation:
innate full soul power .
When a person awakens their martial soul, besides the form of the martial soul determining its strength, the amount of soul power is also crucial.
Most people have no soul power when they awaken their martial soul, destined never to become a soul master. As long as soul power exists, even a trace, it can be cultivated through meditation.
The amount of soul power during martial soul awakening is paramount, determining the starting point of a soul master's cultivation. The higher the innate soul power, the faster the subsequent cultivation speed. Furthermore, a higher starting point naturally puts one ahead of others. So-called innate full soul power is the highest innate soul power achievable during martial soul awakening.
