Chapter 7 - 7. Unveiling the Forbidden Power

The same scene kept repeating. Seven other children awakened their martial souls one by one. All of their martial souls were farming tools like sickles and hoes, without a single beast martial soul among them. As for their soul power, all were assessed as 'none.' 

Finally, it was the turn of the ninth child, the last one before Wang Feng. 

"Child, hold your breath and concentrate. Feel the changes in your body," Lin Fan said gently. 

The girl took a deep breath, calmed herself, and then closed her eyes. Suddenly, her body trembled as if something was about to emerge. 

With a "buzz," a blue light shone in her hands. 

"My child, your martial soul is Blue Silver Grass. Place your hand on this crystal ball. If you have soul power, you can become a Soul Master," Lin Fan said as he took out a blue crystal ball. 

The girl obediently placed her hand on the crystal ball, which then lit up with a faint glow. 

"First-level soul power! You can become a Soul Master. Although Blue Silver Grass is difficult to cultivate, you still have a chance," Lin Fan said with a reassuring smile. 

The girl's face immediately lit up with joy. 

"The last one..."

Now it was Wang Feng's turn. He swallowed nervously, his heart pounding as he walked to the center of the hexagon.

'Please, let it work!' he prayed inwardly.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully entering... Obtaining a mysterious martial soul! Please close your eyes and sense the mysterious martial soul!]

A familiar voice echoed in his mind!

Wang Feng was startled but quickly closed his eyes.

Boom!

His consciousness seemed to explode, plunging into endless chaos. His body felt weightless, yet something was burning inside him, as if a tremendous force was struggling to break free. In the midst of the chaos, a mysterious lotus emerged, blooming with a radiant golden-green glow, exuding an ancient and serene aura.

'That is...!'

Wang Feng stared at the lotus in awe. It was unlike anything he had ever seen. The petals seemed to shimmer with an ethereal light, a harmonious blend of golden and emerald hues, pulsing rhythmically as if alive. A moment later, the Lotus of Harmony suddenly flew toward Wang Feng and directly entered his forehead!

Boom!

His consciousness exploded once again. A searing pain spread throughout his body, like electricity jolting his nerves. Endless echoes filled his mind, making it impossible to hear or see anything. Time seemed to stretch infinitely before Wang Feng finally regained his senses.

"That is a useless martial soul, an unknown wildflower!"

Hearing this voice, Wang Feng opened his eyes and saw the martial soul in his hand.

A mystical lotus floated quietly in his palm. Unlike ordinary spirit flowers, it had three layers of petals, each representing a different force: balance, destruction, and creation. The twelve outer petals glowed with a gentle emerald light, the middle twelve pulsed with golden radiance, while the innermost eight exuded a mysterious crimson aura. It was breathtakingly beautiful yet enigmatic.

"My child, your martial soul is an unidentified flower. Place your hand on this ball. If you have soul power, you can train to become a Soul Master," Lin Fan said.

Wang Feng obediently placed his hand on the crystal ball. Instantly, it shone brightly.

A dazzling golden light filled the Awakening Room.

Lin Fan's eyes widened in shock. Trembling, he muttered a few words, "Full... soul power?"

[Ding, congratulations to the host for punching with innate soul power! Rewarding two supreme martial souls, which require the host to comprehend their power!]

[The next check-in location: Shrek Academy. If you can reach level 30 and obtain a ten-thousand-year spirit ring for check-in, there will be a special reward!]

The other children in the room also stared at Wang Feng in astonishment. Some, who had previously seemed indifferent, tensed up, while others whispered among themselves.

"A genius! A natural talent!" Lin Fan stammered. After blinking several times, he swallowed and took a deep breath to calm himself.

"Born with full soul power... This is truly an extraordinary talent!" Lin Fan said in a trembling voice, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Wang Feng himself was still in shock. 'I... really have full soul power? This means I can start my journey as a Soul Master right away!'

Some children looked at Wang Feng with envy, while others still did not fully grasp the magnitude of what they had just witnessed.

"Even with an unknown martial soul, he has innate full soul power? This is something almost unheard of!" Lin Fan murmured internally. He then gazed at Wang Feng more seriously. "This child... might become an extraordinary existence in the future."

After gathering his thoughts, Lin Fan stepped forward and said, "Wang Feng, from now on, you have the potential to become a powerful Soul Master. With full soul power from birth, you can immediately absorb your first spirit ring and begin cultivating. Don't waste this opportunity!"

Wang Feng was still dazed after witnessing the Lotus of Harmony in his hand. However, upon hearing Lin Fan's words, he clenched his fists and nodded firmly.

"Yes, Master Lin Fan! I will train diligently!" he replied with determination.

Lin Fan smiled in satisfaction, then turned his gaze to the other children. "Alright, now the children who have soul power may stay. Those without soul power may leave."

Wang Feng and two other children remained and were taken to another room.

"Here, you three take turns reading this. It's a meditation guide. Your future training will depend on it, so memorize it quickly," Lin Fan said as he handed them a small notebook. After reading and memorizing its contents, they left.

As Wang Feng left the Awakening Room, his grandmother immediately approached him.

"What were the results? What martial soul did you awaken?" his grandmother asked eagerly.

"Grandmother, my martial soul is a lotus flower," Wang Feng replied.

Grandmother Wang Feng was momentarily stunned, then smiled gently. "A lotus? Lotuses are symbols of balance and renewal. You must take good care of it in the future."

As she spoke, she reached out and gently stroked Wang Feng's head.

Wang Feng let his grandmother stroke his hair, feeling the rough yet warm touch of her hands, making him slightly emotional. Today, his life had changed forever. 'I will not waste this opportunity.'

After dinner, Wang Feng returned to his room and lay on his bed. With his mind, he opened his system panel.

Wang Feng directed his finger to the Martial Soul section and browsed through the information that appeared on his panel.

1. Lotus of Harmony

The Lotus of Harmony is a sacred flower that symbolizes the balance between the forces of light and darkness, capable of calming the instincts of the Shenlong Emperor and controlling the bloodthirst of the Blood Demon Emperor. Without the Lotus of Harmony, the host would lose himself, becoming an uncontrollable being and ultimately destroying himself in his inner battle.

2. Blood Demon Emperor

The Blood Demon Emperor is a martial soul that channels the essence of blood and darkness to enhance the user's power. Its growth depends on the blood of powerful creatures, and the more blood it absorbs, the greater its potential becomes.

The manifestation of this martial soul takes the form of a massive shadow with bat-like wings, glowing red eyes, and demonic horns, embodying destructive power.

3. Shenlong Emperor

The Shenlong Emperor is one of the highest-ranking dragon martial souls, originating from the primordial era before the world's laws were fully established. This martial soul embodies the pride and dominance of a true dragon, accepting power only from its own bloodline.

When activated, the Shenlong Emperor manifests as a colossal dragon with golden, radiant scales that exude a divine aura. Every movement carries overwhelming pressure, capable of paralyzing weaker opponents with just a glance.
