Jing Ziyuan and Lin Xin rode their bicycles, carrying Jing Shaoyu and Na'er respectively, as the four of them left the orphanage amidst laughter and cheerful voices.
On the way, Lin Xin said to Jing Ziyuan with emotion, "Dean, I really didn't expect A Yu to have such talent. When are you planning to take him to the Spirit Pagoda to choose a Soul Spirit?"
"Tomorrow, I guess," Jing Ziyuan thought for a moment and said, "I need to find the administrator in the afternoon. A Yu's talent is so high, I must choose a good Soul Spirit for him, at least a hundred years old, otherwise I'll feel guilty for holding back his talent."
"Mom, are Soul Spirits very expensive?" Jing Shaoyu asked, his expression a little heavy as he listened to Jing Ziyuan and Lin Xin's conversation. If he remembered correctly, Soul Spirits were very expensive and not friendly to Soul Masters from ordinary backgrounds. Although Jing Ziyuan had a position in the Federal Government, a hundred-year Soul Spirit would probably cost her all her savings, right?
"Haha, don't worry, A Yu," Jing Ziyuan heard Jing Shaoyu's worry and explained with a smile, "Your mom is also a civil servant of the Federal Government, after all. Federal civil servants have one free opportunity to choose a hundred-year Soul Spirit at the Spirit Pagoda. When the time comes, Mom will add some money and definitely choose the best quality and most suitable Soul Spirit for A Yu!"
"But, wouldn't that still cost a lot of money? If all the money is used to buy Soul Spirits, how will we live next?" Jing Shaoyu was a little troubled. Of course, he knew the help an excellent Soul Spirit could provide to a Soul Master, but he also had to consider the family's livelihood. The downside of awakening his past life memories was that it made him too mature.
"A Yu, you still have me," Lin Xin also said, "Your Aunt Lin Xin is just an ordinary person, but I've saved up some savings over the decades. Raising you and Na'er is not a problem at all."
"That's right," Jing Ziyuan said, "A Yu, you don't need to worry about money. By the way, once you become a Soul Master, you can receive a Federal Soul Master subsidy every month, which is 1,500 Federal Currency per month."
"1,500 Federal Currency, that's really a lot!" Jing Shaoyu's mouth twitched when he heard this. A ten-year Soul Spirit at the Spirit Pagoda costs 70,000 Federal Currency, and a hundred-year Soul Spirit costs 1 million. With a Soul Master subsidy of 1,500 a month, it would take four years to save enough for a ten-year Soul Spirit, and as for a hundred-year Soul Spirit, it would be impossible without forty or fifty years.
No wonder the class gap between Soul Masters in this era is getting bigger and bigger.
"Brother, I still don't know what your Martial Soul is?" Na'er noticed Jing Shaoyu's unhappiness and immediately showed a sweet smile, saying in adelicate voice voice.
"Haha," Jing Shaoyu smiled again when he heard Na'er's words and said, "Brother's Martial Soul is a top Martial Soul, called Origin Spirit!"
"Origin Spirit?" Na'er's face showed a puzzled expression, and she said, "What kind of Martial Soul is that? A Beast Martial Soul?"
"It can be classified as a Beast Martial Soul." Jing Shaoyu said with some excitement.
"Hehe, then when we get home, can brother release it for me to see? I'm so curious!" Na'er opened her big eyes and looked at him with anticipation.
"Of course, no problem!" How could Jing Shaoyu refuse?
...
In the afternoon.
After Jing Ziyuan sent Jing Shaoyu back to the orphanage, she set off again without stopping to go to the Aolai City Administrative Office.
In the courtyard of the orphanage, Jing Shaoyu was showing Na'er his Martial Soul, and at the same time, he was truly sensing his Martial Soul for the first time.
"Wow!" Na'er couldn't help but open her mouth wide, her pretty face full of amazement. She shouted, "Brother, you look so good, so beautiful, like a princess in a picture book!"
"Uh~" Although, Jing Shaoyu had black lines all over his forehead and corrected, "Na'er, how many times have I told you, brother is a boy, you can't use good-looking and beautiful to describe him!"
"But, brother is really beautiful!" Na'er looked at Jing Shaoyu with innocent big eyes.
"Cough cough~" Jing Shaoyu was a little embarrassed by Na'er's gaze, so he could only cough and start to change the subject, saying, "Are there any other changes in brother?"
After Martial Soul possession, Jing Shaoyu could only notice that his hair had become longer and turned green, and other parts of his body did not seem to have changed at all. He didn't want to look in the mirror now, so he could only ask Na'er.
"Yes, brother's ears have become pointed and long." Na'er put her little hand on her chin, with a look of scrutiny, and said.
"Ears become pointed and long?" Jing Shaoyu couldn't help but reach out and touch his ears. As Na'er said, he felt something in his heart and murmured, "Could it really be an elf?"
"Also, brother's eyes have turned blue, and there is a vertical purple line here." Na'er continued, and touched the center of Jing Shaoyu's eyebrows with her small hand.
"Is that so, I understand roughly." After Na'er's description, Jing Shaoyu gradually connected his image with the feedback of Martial Soul, and a clear smile appeared on his face.
"By the way, there is also a plate-sized ring behind brother's head, which seems to be a green gem, sparkling and bright." Na'er added, her big eyes flashing with desire, staring at the ring behind Jing Shaoyu's head.
"That, that is the Crown of Nature, an important part of brother's Martial Soul!" Jing Shaoyu said with a smile.
The Crown of Nature, an emerald-like halo floating behind Jing Shaoyu's head, was crystal clear, pure and flawless, with a uniform texture, like a carefully crafted work of art. This was one of the most important core parts of the Origin Spirit Martial Soul.
Regarding his Origin Spirit Martial Soul, the inherited knowledge Jing Shaoyu obtained during awakening was relatively limited, but one thing was certain: the origin of the Origin Spirit Martial Soul was both mysterious and extraordinary, vaguely related to the nature of Douluo Star.
Because when Jing Shaoyu's Martial Soul was activated, the most direct feeling was the vigorous, majestic, continuous, and ocean-like vitality contained within the Origin Spirit, as well as its extremely keen perception and insight into the life energy between heaven and earth.
However, what made Jing Shaoyu somewhat helpless was that the Origin Spirit Martial Soul's Soul Power was very gentle, even tender, possessing excellent healing abilities. Even if he didn't have any Soul Skills now, he seemed to be able to heal some minor injuries and ailments with just his Soul Power.
This also meant that if he wanted to perfectly display the talent and ability of the Origin Spirit Martial Soul, the best choice would be to become a healing-type Soul Master.
To become a healing-type Soul Master, to be honest, Jing Shaoyu didn't have a strong desire, but he wasn't particularly resistant either. Not to mention that the Origin Spirit Martial Soul's talent and abilities weren't limited to healing, just the other Martial Soul hidden in his body already gave him room to choose other paths.
Yes, Jing Shaoyu had another Martial Soul, meaning he was a Twin Martial Souls! Although he hadn't released that Martial Soul yet, he could feel that it was a highly aggressive Item Martial Soul. He planned to release it when he took a bath at night to examine it carefully.
"Crown of Nature? What is that?" Na'er asked curiously.
"How should I put it, brother doesn't know how to explain it to Na'er, why not just show it to Na'er." Jing Shaoyu scratched his head and said.
"Okay, okay!" Na'er immediately clapped her hands and cheered upon hearing this.
"Then, Na'er, come with me." Jing Shaoyu said to Na'er with a mischievous smile on his face.
"Oh!" Na'er followed Jing Shaoyu to the swing under the old locust tree in the yard without any precautions. At Jing Shaoyu's suggestion, Na'er sat on the swing.
"Watch carefully!" Jing Shaoyu said with a smile. He stretched out his right hand, and a stream of emerald green light flew from his fingertip, accurately landing on the locust tree. Then, several slender, tender green vines instantly grew on the old branches of the locust tree, with a few emerald green new leaves hanging on the vines. In a situation that Na'er had not expected at all, they bound her body.
"Ah~" Na'er let out a scream of fright, her small face full of panic and fear. Her petite body kept struggling, but the vines that bound her, although slender, were very tough, always tightly wrapped around her. The little girl was really scared, and shouted at Jing Shaoyu with a hint of crying, "Brother, save me!"
