When the light reached its peak, something slowly came out of my right hand. It was a black book with very beautiful patterns of different shades of green, silver, red, purple and brown giving people a very serene feeling.
With the appearance of this book the deacon and the other elders present had very excited expression thinking it could be another powerful spirit. One of the old man behind the deacon widened his eyes and said in disbelief:
"What kind of martial spirit is this? i have never seen a book spirit with this pattern giving off this kind of aura before. could it be a mutated spirit?"
" I don't know, its called the book of Solomon. That is the information that came to my mind" I answered absent mindedly while staring at the book in shock. isn't tis the book of knowledge i created in my previous life. i cannot believe it followed me to this world. I was very happy and all my uncertainty and doubts about this new world was washed away. i finally felt at peace with my new life.
"All right, we don't know if its a negative or positive mutated spirit or a new martial spirit. Let's first test the soul power before you make the little friend get excited for nothing." the deacon interrupted the elders as he gestures to me to test my soul power.
The elders stopped talking and stared at me as i place my hand on the crystal ball. But to their disappointment the crystal ball shone dimly and then stop. My soul power was only two.
"Its okay little friend , at least you can cultivate soul power and if you work hard you may become a soul master or even a soul grandmaster .Don't give up hope" said the deacon with a smile although i could see the disappointment in his eyes.
"Thank you deacon, i will definitely work hard" i replied. Truth be told i was not sad even a little bit. on the contrary i was very happy because i knew how powerful my martial spirit can be. I took the awakening certificate from the deacon and left the spirit hall with a smile full of anticipation of what the future will bring.
I walked along the street humming a song all the way to Rose hotel. When i arrived i went directly to the kitchen where i met the chef, Old Tao. When he saw me he smiled and waved me over.
"Little Kal, did you awaken your martial spirit? Was it a book like you had hope? And do you have soul power? Where will you be going next?" He asked me with laughter. Old Tao loves talking a lot and he was the one who helped me during my time in rose hotel.
"Yes old man, yes to all your questions" i said with a smile.
"And for where i am going next, i think its time for dean Flander to keep his promise to me. He will not be happy because i have soul power of level 2 and do not qualify as a monster and will probably regret. Well , its his own problem because i am going to Shrek Academy" I said with my chin up laughing like a proud peacock.
"Hahaha, that con artist Flander will probably cry. i cant wait to see his reaction." old man Tao said laughing.
"Yes , i cant wait." i murmured to myself with a smile.
I met dean Flander when i was four and had just started working in Rose hotel. He and old man Tao are friend and the old man introduced me to him. At that time dean Flander was drunk and bragged a lot about his academy. At that time i had a strong feeling that something great will happen in Shrek Academy , so i made a bet with Flander and i won, i made him promise that he will enroll me in his academy if i have soul power when my spirit awaken regardless of the level. We even signed a document for it. He didn't think much of it and agreed.
And true to his character as a scam artist , dean Flander was very reluctant to let me enroll in his monster academy and even enticed me with different soul tools from his shop but all in vain. In the end, i joined Shrek Academy where i met Oscar ,Dai Mubai who were three years older that me and Ma Hongjun who had also awaken a mutated chicken phoenix martial soul a few months earlier that me and had just been accepted by dean Flander as his personal disciple.
"At first the three students were reluctant to accept me because i was not a monster but over time the accepted me and feared and look up to me at the same time.
