Chapter 3: The Asura Demon Sword Martial Soul, Innate Level 20 Soul Power
"Su Mo, keep it up!"
Bibi Dong clenched her small fists at the side, cheering Su Mo on.
Soon, golden spots of light drifted out from the Awakening Formation and merged into Su Mo's body one after another.
Su Mo closed his eyes, feeling that warm energy circulating within his body before finally gathering toward his right hand.
He extended his right hand, and in an instant, the spots of light surged out, condensing in his palm.
A small, dark red sword suddenly emerged.
Su Mo looked at the small dark red sword in his palm, an unusual light flashing in his eyes.
His Martial Soul seemed to be... the Asura Demon Sword?
He never expected that he would actually awaken the Asura Demon Sword Martial Soul; this was definitely a God-level Martial Soul.
Not only did he transmigrate earlier than Tang San, but he also awakened the Asura sword Martial Soul. Wasn't this a perfect start?
"Child, withdraw your Martial Soul and test your Innate Soul Power."
The Cardinal's voice came over, the smile on his face growing even wider.
Although he had never seen such a sword Martial Soul before, the aura emanating from that sword allowed him to faintly perceive its extraordinariness.
Perhaps he was going to witness the birth of two geniuses today.
Beside them, Qian Xunji was also shaken. He stared intently at the small dark red sword in Su Mo's hand, his brow furrowing slightly.
As the Pope, he was knowledgeable and experienced, yet he had never seen an Asura sword Martial Soul before.
However, he could clearly feel the extraordinariness of that sword. That aura actually caused the Six-winged Angel Martial Soul within his body to tremble slightly!
Could it be... a God-level Martial Soul? Qian Xunji secretly guessed in his heart.
With a thought, Su Mo withdrew his Martial Soul, and the Asura Demon Sword dissipated into spots of light.
He placed his hand on the crystal ball.
Instantly, the crystal ball burst forth with a dazzling light.
"Innate Full Soul Power!"
The Cardinal exclaimed again, his voice full of disbelief. What kind of auspicious day was this? Two people with Innate Full Soul Power?!
Seeing this, Qian Xunji and Bibi Dong were both delighted.
However, Su Mo's brow furrowed slightly.
He had originally thought he could be like Qian Renxue and start with Innate Level 20 Soul Power, but unfortunately, it was only Level 10. It seemed that although he awakened the Asura sword Martial Soul, he did not receive those ten levels of Soul Power bestowed by a god.
However, at that moment, a sudden change occurred.
A streak of red light, invisible to the naked eye, instantly plunged into Su Mo's body from above the hall.
Strangely, no one on the scene noticed it. Neither the Soul Saint Cardinal nor the Titled Douluo Qian Xunji; it was as if that red light had never appeared.
Even Su Mo himself only felt a sudden warm current surge through his body and did not notice any other abnormalities.
At the same time, a cracking sound was heard.
Just as Su Mo wanted to take his hand off the crystal ball, it suddenly made a crisp cracking sound and then exploded with a bang!
Crystal fragments flew in all directions, and the scene instantly fell into a dead silence.
The Cardinal froze on the spot, his eyes wide as he looked at the fragments on the ground.
The crystal ball exploded?!
Qian Xunji was stunned at first, but then an incredible light burst from his eyes.
As a descendant of the Angel God, he knew all too well what this situation meant.
Their Angel clan, because they had Soul Power bestowed by the Angel God, would have Innate Soul Power exceeding Level 10.
Ordinary testing crystal balls can only test up to Level 10 Soul Power. If the innate power exceeds Level 10, an ordinary crystal ball will be unable to withstand it and shatter.
This proved that the dark red sword was truly a God-level Martial Soul.
Su Mo was the possessor of a God-level Martial Soul.
"Su Mo, use this to test." Qian Xunji hurriedly composed himself, but his voice still carried an irrepressible excitement.
He took another crystal ball out of his spirit tool; it was specially made and could test up to Level 20 Soul Power.
Su Mo placed his hand on it, and the crystal ball was instantly filled with a brilliant light.
A strange look flashed in his eyes. He was certain that he only had Level 10 Soul Power earlier, and it was only after that warm current abruptly surged through that the crystal ball exploded on the spot.
Perhaps because of the Asura Demon Sword Martial Soul, he had already been noticed by the Asura God, who was bent on leaving.
"Innate Soul Power Level 20!" Even as the Pope, Qian Xunji lost his usual dignity at this moment.
His voice was trembling, his hands were trembling slightly, and his eyes were full of wild joy.
In one day, one Twin Martial Souls possessor, plus one God-level Martial Soul with Innate Level 20 power—Heaven truly blessed Spirit Hall!
Qian Xunji took a deep breath, trying hard to calm his emotions, but the heat in his eyes could not be hidden.
"Su Mo, are you willing to take me as your teacher?"
Su Mo nodded and performed a standard disciple's salute: "Disciple Su Mo greets Teacher."
Qian Xunji was the current Pope. By taking him as a teacher, Su Mo could obtain a large amount of resources to increase his strength faster. Therefore, Su Mo did not hesitate in the slightest.
As for this cheap teacher Qian Xunji, he didn't have any other opinions; those were all matters for the future.
Furthermore, speaking of the original story's Bibi Dong and Qian Xunji, the two were about equally to blame.
Now that he had become Qian Xunji's disciple, he naturally wouldn't let those events from the original story happen.
"Good, good, good!" Qian Xunji hurriedly stepped forward to personally help Su Mo up. "From now on, you are my, Qian Xunji's, second disciple!"
"Su Mo." Bibi Dong immediately ran to Su Mo's side and pulled his arm, her small face full of excitement. "This is great! We can eat and study together again in the future."
"Mm." Su Mo smiled and nodded.
Seeing the close appearance of the two, Qian Xunji smiled knowingly.
It was certainly a good thing for Spirit Hall that these two children had a good relationship. With the two of them working together in the future, Spirit Hall would surely be able to go further.
"By the way, Xiao Mo, your Martial Soul has never appeared on the continent. I wonder what its name is?" Qian Xunji asked.
He naturally recognized Bibi Dong's Twin Martial Souls, but he had never heard of Su Mo's Martial Soul.
"The sword's name is Asura," Su Mo replied.
"Asura?" Qian Xunji repeated in a low voice and nodded.
Immediately, he withdrew his smile and regained his dignity as the Pope.
He turned around and looked at the Cardinal beside him, his voice deep and majestic: "Remember, today's events must not be spread to outsiders!"
Whether it was Su Mo or Bibi Dong, they were both the future of Spirit Hall. Right now, they were still too weak. If other forces found out, they might do something in secret.
Although Spirit Hall had many Titled Douluo, it was better to be safe than sorry.
Especially Su Mo; once he grew up, Spirit Hall might even have an additional God.
"Yes, His Holiness the Pope!" The Cardinal immediately knelt on one knee and responded respectfully. He naturally understood the importance of Su Mo and Bibi Dong to Spirit Hall.
Qian Xunji gave a soft grunt, turned around, and looked at the two children in front of him, a gentle smile reappearing on his face: "Let's go. Follow your teacher back to the The Pope's Palace."
"Yes, Teacher."
Bibi Dong pulled on Su Mo's arm and followed behind Qian Xunji as the three of them walked out of the Spirit Awakening Hall.
Outside the orphanage stood a magnificent carriage, shining brightly in the sunlight.
It was Bibi Dong's first time riding in such a luxurious carriage, and she looked around curiously.
Su Mo sat quietly beside her, looking out the window.
The carriage moved slowly along the wide street.
The buildings of Spirit City were grand and magnificent, with shops lining both sides of the street and Soul Masters in various colored outfits hurrying along.
The further they went toward the center of the city, the more towering the buildings became.
