Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: My Martial Soul Is Light

"How could it be empty? Whatever, treat anything I can't understand as a useless Martial Soul!"

Su Yuntao expressed great disappointment. He had thought this child would be different, but unexpectedly, he was even more extreme—he didn't even have a Martial Soul.

"Alright! Let's test the Soul Power now…"

He couldn't understand it. Su Yuntao really couldn't understand it. It's impossible for a person to not have a Martial Soul—everyone has one! He couldn't figure it out, really couldn't figure it out. Better to test the Soul Power first…

Test the Soul Power first and see if maybe there's some mutation in his body.

The white crystal ball was handed over. Ling Mo didn't think twice and gently placed his right hand on it.

Suddenly… a strong light instantly burst out from the crystal ball, dazzling and brilliant.

"This… Innate Full Soul Power?"

Su Yuntao was completely dumbfounded! What exactly was going on? Could someone tell him why a person without a Martial Soul instead had Innate Full Soul Power?

"Child, tell me! What is your Martial Soul?"

Su Yuntao was dumbfounded. He confirmed that Ling Mo did have a Martial Soul; it just hadn't shown up. What kind of Martial Soul was it that it wouldn't display?

Ling Mo should be able to feel the existence of his Martial Soul, because once the Martial Soul awakates, one can sense its presence in the body. That's for sure.

"My Martial Soul? I don't know, maybe light…"

Ling Mo was also dumbfounded. He could feel that a beam of five-colored divine light inside his body had already integrated into various parts of his body, constantly strengthening it just like that.

"Light? What kind of thing is that?" Su Yuntao was truly puzzled. What use did this thing have? To blind the opponent's eyes in a fight first?

Helplessly shaking his head, Brother Tao indicated that the things he saw today were really too strange! First a full Soul Power Blue Silver Grass, then a light that didn't even count as a Martial Soul! And it also had full Soul Power.

This world was too crazy; all sorts of magical things existed. This had already touched Brother Tao's knowledge blind spot.

"Alright! You can go back first…"

He couldn't figure it out. Su Yuntao really couldn't figure it out. Originally, he had wanted to invite Ling Mo to join Spirit Hall, but he really hadn't expected that Ling Mo's Martial Soul—what use did it have exactly?

Couldn't figure it out! Really couldn't figure it out…

Walking out of the small wooden house, Village Chief Ultraman excitedly came over. "Xiao Mo, how did it go! Did you awaken any awesome Martial Soul? Do you have Soul Power?"

The children who had come out one after another before were already heading to the fields to cut rice straw. Ling Mo was the last one out, so no wonder Ultraman was so excited.

Speaking of which, his name was pretty badass too! When Ling Mo first learned his name, he had admired him for a long time.

He probably still hadn't realized just how awesome his name was.

"Whether it's awesome or not, I don't know, but Soul Power… seems like I have it…"

Before he finished speaking, Su Yuntao came out. Ultraman immediately let go of Ling Mo and walked over to ask, "Soul Master sir, how did it go! Among this batch of children, is there anyone with Soul Power?"

Seeing his excited mood, Su Yuntao couldn't bear to refuse to answer and said regretfully, "There is one! See, that child there—Innate Full Soul Power…"

"Oh my god! Innate Full Soul Power—does that mean our village is going to produce a top scholar…"

Upon hearing this, Ultraman nearly fainted from excitement—it was just too thrilling! Among more than a dozen children, finally one with Soul Power had appeared, and it was Innate Full Soul Power. How could he not be excited!

He was so excited that he didn't even bother asking what the Martial Soul was! He nearly picked up Ling Mo and tossed him around…

"Don't get too happy too soon! This child's Martial Soul is really too bizarre. Even I can't tell what it is.

I'll have to go back and check the records to know what use his Martial Soul has, but it should also be a useless Martial Soul! It doesn't even have a physical form—worse than Blue Silver Grass…

A Martial Soul that even I can't understand—how promising do you think he can be?

Alright, I still have a few villages to go to. No time to explain to you…"

After saying that, Brother Tao left dashingly. In this one day, he had simultaneously witnessed two Innate Full Soul Power useless Martial Souls, which had also challenged his understanding.

After Su Yuntao left, Ultraman stood there feeling a bit down. "Useless Martial Soul?"

Yeah, even the great Su Yuntao Great Soul Master couldn't understand it—how could it be some powerful Martial Soul?

After hesitating for a moment, Ultraman suddenly made a decision and turned directly to Ling Mo. "Xiao Mo, do you want to go to school?"

"Huh?"

Ling Mo was still pondering what exactly his Martial Soul was when Ultraman's sudden question stunned him.

"Go to school? Of course I want to, but sadly I have no money…"

Where would Ling Mo get money? He lived by swindling and deception, and surviving to six years old was already defying the heavens.

From a young age, he had been scamming kids in the village for food. Life was already not easy—where would he get spare money to go to school?

At this moment, a brat drinking beast milk passed by, gave him a disdainful look, and strutted away.

"Don't worry about the money for school. As long as you want to go, Village Chief Grandpa will arrange it for you no matter what…"

The village hadn't had a Soul Master for many years. Ultraman felt so bitter in his heart. You know… on the Douluo Continent, the status of Soul Masters was much higher than that of ordinary people.

If the village could produce a Soul Master, it would absolutely be a huge help for the village's future development.

"Then… let's go!"

Anyway, there was nowhere else to go. Going to school was the best choice. If he couldn't, Ling Mo had no other way!

He really didn't know how other transmigrators solved the school problem. Were they born rich? Didn't they need to think about how to make money?

Why was it that, as fellow transmigrators, Ling Mo had to live so strapped for cash, while they could spend freely and extravagantly? There really is a gap between people.

Bidding farewell to Village Chief Ultraman, Ling Mo returned to his small tree house! Before leaving, Ultraman had already promised that no matter what, he would arrange a chance for him to go to school, so he didn't need to worry about anything.

"Five-Colored Divine Light? What effect does it have exactly?"

In the time that followed, Ling Mo would be troubled! Logically speaking, since gold had appeared, it should at least be a top-tier Martial Soul, right? Why was there nothing?

Deeply sensing the changes permeating his body and carefully feeling the existence of the Martial Soul, Ling Mo suddenly made another discovery.

"Huh… this thing!"

It seemed he had discovered something. Ling Mo was instantly overjoyed and dashed out of the small tree house.

Looking left and right, the surroundings were empty—not a single person around. At the village entrance, there were only a few chickens.

"Damn! No choice, let's see the effect first…"

As he spoke, suddenly his eyes changed, shockingly forming dual pupils, with yin-yang reversal.

In that instant, a burst of five-colored divine light emerged from his body. After the Martial Soul awakening, this light had been in his body all along.

"What a strange feeling! It's like armor protecting the body—the body has become harder, more resistant to beatings…"

With the Martial Soul unleashed, Ling Mo immediately sensed the changes in his body. This five-colored divine light actually had the effect of strengthening the body, just like activating heavy armor—magic armor entering the body, like a heavenly god descending, dominating all directions.

His whole body was filled with power. Ling Mo had never felt this way before.

"Why can I tolerate magic armor? Because it's reminding me every moment that I'm a dad…"

With the five-colored divine light strengthening his body, Ling Mo felt full of power and fiercely punched toward a nearby stone.

Boom…

With a loud bang, the stone instantly shattered.

"Holy crap, it hurts hurts hurts…"

Damn, the power had increased, but his body toughness still wasn't enough. Probably because he had no Soul Ring yet, his body wasn't hard enough.

"Let's try this move!"

The only characteristic of the five-colored divine light was to copy the supernatural abilities of all living beings within sight.

Seeing only a few chickens nearby, Ling Mo didn't hesitate. His eyes formed shadows, dual pupils opening wide.

Instantly, a beam of light shot toward one of the chickens. He felt his body tremble, as if something merged into it, and Ling Mo couldn't help but cluck, "Cluck cluck cluck…"

"What the hell…"

This cluck made Ling Mo a bit at a loss. Especially under the reinforcement of the five-colored divine light, the chicken sound was loud and clear, echoing through the entire village.

"Where's that chicken clucking from? So loud…"

The villagers were all startled by this cluck and thought something had happened, rushing out one after another.

They only saw Ling Mo by the big banyan tree but nothing else.

"Xiao Mo! How did the Martial Soul awakening go today…"

A kind-hearted villager greeted him. Ling Mo stood there awkwardly. "Heh heh, nothing much, cluck cluck…"

He hadn't said two sentences before nearly clucking again, but luckily Ling Mo held it back in time.

The uncle saw Ling Mo acting strangely and wanted to come over to check, but thinking of the vegetables about to burn at home, he hurriedly ran back without caring.

"That was close! Damn, so this thing copies others' supernatural abilities…"

Ling Mo finally understood the effect of this five-colored divine light. Turns out this thing could copy the supernatural abilities of anything in his line of sight!

For example… if there was a Soul Master in front of Ling Mo, then… Ling Mo could directly copy his Martial Soul and Soul Skills to use.

If it was a Soul Beast or something else, he would copy its most powerful thing to use.

Just now, when Ling Mo used the five-colored divine light on those chickens, he uncontrollably clucked a few times, nearly scaring him to death.
