Chapter 2: I Come from Earth Village.

In almost every corner of the Douluo Continent, there were traces of the Martial Soul Hall, and Nuoding City was no exception.

The immediate task at hand was to head to the Martial Soul Branch Hall in Nuoding City and undergo the Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony.

Under the manipulation of the “former” system, this body had already reached the optimal age for awakening a martial soul—six years old.

Ye Hao stepped out of the dark and gloomy alley, and the scorching sunlight overhead made his eyes ache. In this martial soul-oriented Douluo Continent, Ye Hao’s appearance didn’t cause much of a stir. Passersby simply gave him a faint glance before continuing on their way.

Regarding this, Ye Hao didn’t think too much of it. He looked at the differences between this city and his previous life and felt a slight thrill in his heart.

In front of the Martial Soul Branch Hall, after gathering various information, Ye Hao finally arrived. What came into view was a domed building with three floors.

As the lowest-ranking martial soul branch hall in the Martial Soul Hall, the emblem at the entrance displayed only a long sword.

“Halt! This is the Martial Soul Hall. Unauthorized individuals are not allowed inside.”

The two guards at the entrance intercepted Ye Hao’s sudden visit. Wearing tattered clothes, he looked like a beggar…

“Uncles, hello. My name is Ye Hao, and I’ve come to awaken my martial soul.” Ye Hao put on a pitiful expression and spoke to the two guards.

The guards were slightly taken aback, and their gazes met.

“What about your parents?”

“They’re dead. Not long ago, our village was attacked by bandits and wolves. I was the only one who survived. I stumbled my way here to Nuoding City.”

Fury welled up in the guards’ eyes. Bandits and wolves were derivatives of humans and the Demon Wolf of the Gale on the Douluo Continent. While powerful Soul Masters could handle such creatures, for an ordinary person like Ye Hao, who had not yet awakened his martial soul, it was no different from being a walking target.

Immediately, under the guidance of one of the guards, Ye Hao entered the Martial Soul Branch Hall.

The hall was luxurious and grand. Despite Nuoding City’s unfavorable location, the Martial Soul Branch Hall had everything it should have, even though it was the lowest-ranked branch of the Martial Soul Hall.

There weren’t many people inside the branch hall, only a few responsible for cleaning. When they saw Ye Hao entering with the guard, they didn’t react differently and continued bowing their heads to their tasks.

“I’m so tired…”

A young man in his twenties walked in casually, carrying a bag on his back. He wore white clothes and a black cloak draped over his shoulders. He was drenched in sweat and breathed heavily as he walked towards Ye Hao.

“Master Su, you’re back?”

The guard stepped forward and took off Su Yuntao’s backpack with an apologetic smile.

Su Yuntao nodded and looked at Ye Hao, who was dressed in tattered clothes. Could it be…

“Where did this child come from?”

Su Yuntao asked.

“Hello, Master Su. My name is Ye Hao, and I’ve come to awaken my martial soul,” Ye Hao replied.

Su Yuntao scratched his head and said puzzledly, “That’s not right. I’ve visited all the villages, big and small, during this time. How is it that I missed you? Which village are you from?”

“Master Su Yuntao, this child is very pitiful. His village was slaughtered by bandits and wolves, and he is the only one left all alone.”

Hearing the guard’s words, Su Yuntao looked at Ye Hao with a sense of pity in his eyes and sighed deeply.

“Forget it, one more doesn’t make a difference. Your name is Ye Hao, right? Come with me.”

Ye Hao secretly gave a thumbs up to the guard, grateful for Uncle Su Yuntao’s timely assistance.

Following Su Yuntao, they arrived at a slightly larger room where two people were present—an elderly man sitting behind a desk in a tidy Martial Soul Hall Soul Master uniform, and a respectful young woman standing in front of him, seemingly giving a report…

“This time, there are two individuals with innate soul power at level five for the martial soul awakening. There are several individuals with innate soul power at levels two to three, and the rest have no soul power.”

The woman spoke weakly, saying that in recent years, there were no good talents, but the awakened martial souls were all sorts of strange. Just from the villages she had visited and the things she had heard and seen, it had already left a great impression on her.

The elderly man sighed, “You’ve worked hard, Sisi. I wonder how Yuntao is doing?”

Click—

The main door opened, and Su Yuntao and Ye Hao walked in.

“Yuntao, why are you still so careless? Soul Masters value cultivating their character and having a stable temperament. Can’t you at least have the basic manners? Don’t you know to knock before entering the door?”

The old man looked at Su Yuntao with a hint of anger.

“Yuntao? Su Yuntao?”

Ye Hao’s eyes widened. Could it be true? Could it be true? Su Yuntao, also known as Su Yuntao, who awakened the martial soul of the Sea God, Brother Hypocrite!

“Master Matthew Nuo, please stop your rambling. This child wants to awaken his martial soul. I’ll borrow this place from you.”

Su Yuntao complained, casually taking out a crystal ball and six gray round stones from his backpack, arranging them in the direction of a hexagram.

“This time, the group from Holy Spirit Village encountered a child with innate full soul power.”

“Innate full soul power!” x2

Master Matthew Nuo and Sisi were both shocked. Children with innate full soul power were not many. Soul Masters with innate full soul power would awaken their martial souls at the age of six, and exceptionally talented children would possess innate full soul power, which meant they were absolute geniuses.

“And where is that child? Could it be this one before us?” Master Matthew Nuo urgently asked.

Ye Hao was horrified. How did he become the center of attention for no reason?

Su Yuntao gave Matthew Nuo a disdainful look and said irritably, “Unfortunately, that child’s martial soul is Blue Silver Grass. Martial souls like Blue Silver Grass are so common that even if he becomes a Soul Master in the future, his starting point probably won’t be too high…”

“As for this child, his name is Ye Hao. His family was killed by bandits, and he’s all alone. I happened to come across him on my way back, and coincidentally, he also wanted to awaken his martial soul, so I brought him here.”

Matthew Nuo’s expression turned desolate. “Blue Silver Grass? How can it be Blue Silver Grass? Innate full soul power? That’s impossible…”

Sisi, who was standing aside, also felt regretful. They finally encountered a child with innate full soul power, but his martial soul turned out to be Blue Silver Grass. This kind of mediocre martial soul was destined to have limited achievements in the future.

“Huh? Blue Silver Grass? Innate full soul power…”

Ye Hao pondered. He estimated that it must be him. Tang San, the first transmigrator in the Douluo Continent, possessed the Blue Silver Emperor and Clear Sky Hammer martial souls, which were also twin martial souls. However, the Blue Silver Emperor had not awakened yet…

“Alright, kid, stand here.”

Su Yuntao wiped the sweat from his forehead, finally having everything ready for the martial soul awakening ceremony.

Ye Hao understood and walked to the center area where the six stones were located. Although he already knew what his martial soul was, it was still an exciting moment to personally experience the awakening of his martial soul.

The martial soul awakening ceremony was about to begin, and Matthew Nuo and Sisi started to pay close attention to Ye Hao, hoping for a different surprise from him.

At the same time, at the city gate of Nuoding City, an unremarkable carriage slowly entered the city…..
