Thunderblade Martial Soul, Innate Full Spirit Power

Lin Yongming placed his hand on the spirit power testing crystal ball. Soon, a stream of energy flowed through his meridians, reaching his left arm and then his palm.

The energy was absorbed by the crystal ball.

Under the expectant gaze of the Spirit Hall spirit master, the crystal ball emitted a dazzling blue light.

The light filled the crystal ball completely, leaving no empty space.

"Innate full spirit power! It really is innate full spirit power!"

"A once-in-a-century genius with innate full spirit power, and I was the one who guided his awakening!"

The middle-aged spirit master had never seen a genius with innate full spirit power before, let alone one whose awakening he had personally conducted.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be working as a mere deacon in a small-town branch of the Spirit Hall.

"Child, you can remove your hand now. I'm just curious, what is your martial soul called? Your martial soul looks like a cross between a sword and a blade, something I've never seen before."

"Also, I sincerely invite you to join our Spirit Hall." The deacon's voice grew more and more excited as he spoke.

He leaned forward slightly, placing his hands on Lin Yongming's shoulders, his eyes filled with hope as he extended the invitation.

"Spirit Master, my martial soul is called Thunderblade. As for the rest, I need some time to think about it. Uncle, you should continue with the other children's awakenings first." Lin Yongming didn't immediately agree, shaking his head gently.

"You're right. There's still work to be done. We can talk later." The deacon nodded, calming himself down.

"Next!" After Lin Yongming returned to the line, the deacon began guiding the next child through their martial soul awakening.

The other children looked at Lin Yongming with awe as he returned to the group.

Lei Zhengming, hearing the deacon's call, quickly stepped forward and stood in front of him.

Using the same method, the deacon soon guided Lei Zhengming's martial soul to awaken.

"Martial Soul: Swiftwind Wolf. Innate spirit power level two. Not bad, you can become a spirit master."

After a moment, the deacon announced Lei Zhengming's awakening results.

"Really?!" Lei Zhengming exclaimed in delight before returning to stand beside Lin Yongming.

The next eight children also awakened their martial souls, most of which were farming tools, along with two Blue Silver Grass martial souls.

The result was that, aside from Lin Yongming and Lei Zhengming, none of the other children had innate spirit power and thus no chance of becoming spirit masters.

"Alright, your martial soul awakenings are complete. You all can leave now." The deacon put away the Awakening Stones and the crystal ball.

The eight children without spirit power glanced enviously at Lin Yongming and Lei Zhengming before dejectedly leaving the room.

It was worth noting that after a martial soul awakening, one's physical abilities improved slightly, though not as much as those with spirit power.

Especially Lin Yongming, with his innate full spirit power. His pure physical strength was comparable to that of an average adult.

With the addition of spirit power, he could easily defeat an adult from the village. This was why spirit masters were held in such high regard.

According to Lin Yongming's estimation, only about one-tenth of the continent's population were spirit masters, or perhaps even less. The ratio was simply too small.

"Lin Yongming, here is your martial soul awakening certificate."

"Lei Zhengming, here is yours."

"Keep these certificates safe. You'll need them when enrolling in a primary academy."

The deacon handed out the certificates to Lin Yongming and Lei Zhengming. Due to the unique status of the Spirit Hall, these certificates were recognized across the entire continent.

"Thank you, Spirit Master!" Lin Yongming said as he accepted the certificate.

"Child, have you thought about my offer?" The deacon seized the opportunity to ask Lin Yongming again.

"Thank you for your kindness."

"But as you can see, I was born blind. Even if I become a spirit master, what good is it if I can't see anything?" Lin Yongming smiled bitterly, his tone filled with resignation.

"Born blind? Have you sought treatment from a spirit master?" The deacon had noticed Lin Yongming's condition earlier but had assumed it was due to an injury from playing, not a congenital issue.

"Spirit Master, Xiao Ming was indeed born blind. My grandfather told me that they were hoping this martial soul awakening might restore his vision, but it seems there's been no improvement," Lei Zhengming chimed in when Lin Yongming remained silent.

"Also, his parents borrowed money from my grandfather to hire a spirit master for treatment, but it didn't work," Lei Zhengming added.

"That's truly a pity. You have innate full spirit power. In the past decade, I've only heard of one other person with such talent—a disciple taken in by His Holiness the Pope two years ago. That person was even made the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall. A true once-in-a-century genius."

"No, it would be a waste to let your talent go to waste. I will report your situation to the bishop and have him inform the Pope. I'm sure His Holiness will send a high-level healing spirit master to treat your eyes."

"With your innate full spirit power, I believe the Pope will be more than willing to help."

The deacon felt troubled upon hearing Lei Zhengming's explanation. Congenital blindness was much harder to treat than an injury, and he wasn't confident in his ability to help.

However, he couldn't bear to let a genius with innate full spirit power slip away.

"Thank you for your concern, but I've grown used to it. Even if it can't be cured, it's fine," Lin Yongming said gratefully.

"It's no trouble at all. After I finish visiting two more villages, I'll report this to the bishop," the deacon said, waving his hand dismissively, even though he knew Lin Yongming couldn't see the gesture.

"By the way, Spirit Master, you mentioned that the Pope took in a disciple two years ago and made her the Holy Maiden. Do you know her name?" Lin Yongming couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, the appointment of the Holy Maiden is a major event for the Spirit Hall. All branch halls were notified. And while I might not remember other names easily, the Holy Maiden's name is quite unique and easy to remember—it's Bibi Dong," the deacon said with a hint of envy.

As the Pope's disciple and a genius with innate full spirit power, her future was undoubtedly limitless.

"Ah!" Lin Yongming was momentarily stunned. If his eyes could open, they would have widened in surprise.

If the deacon wasn't mistaken, Bibi Dong had awakened her martial soul just two years ago and was now an eight-year-old girl.

"Spirit Master, did any of the village children show potential to become spirit masters?" Village Chief Lei Siruo and Lin Yongming's father, Lin Chong, entered the room.

Seeing the other children leave, they had waited a few minutes before growing impatient and stepping inside.

"Yes, you're in luck. Two children have the potential to become spirit masters. Especially this one—he has innate full spirit power. Unfortunately, he was born blind. But don't worry, Village Chief. When I return, I'll report this to His Holiness the Pope. I'm sure they'll send someone to examine and treat this child," the deacon explained honestly.

"What! Xiao Ming awakened with innate full spirit power?"

Both Lei Siruo and Lin Yongming's father were shocked, their eyes widening as they stared at Lin Yongming.
