It was a three-story building with a yard, allocated to Jing Ziyuan by the Administrative Headquarters. In theory, a mere office director like her shouldn't have been entitled to such a residence, but who could blame her for having such a good son?
This was an implicit perk for civil servants who were family members of those with Innate Full Soul Power.
The new home was fully furnished and equipped, ready for immediate occupancy. That very night, the Jing Shaoyu family moved in.
Jing Shaoyu and Na'er both had their own rooms, although Na'er had hoped to share a room with Jing Shaoyu, Jing Ziyuan firmly rejected her request. However, Jing Ziyuan was soft-hearted after all, and arranged for Na'er's room to be next to Jing Shaoyu's. Stepping out of Na'er's room, it was only a couple of steps to Jing Shaoyu's room.
The two children's rooms were on the third floor, while Jing Ziyuan and Lin Xin's rooms were on the second floor. Lin Xin arrived in East Sea City in the evening, traveling by Soul Guidance Train, and she brought all of Jing Ziyuan, Jing Shaoyu, and Na'er's personal belongings.
The Aolai City Orphanage was now completely defunct.
That night, after taking a bath, Jing Shaoyu lay on the new bed in his new room in his new home, feeling quite emotional. Indeed, this is a world that values strength and talent, he thought. Everything friendly and every privilege he had received today was because of his Innate Full Soul Power talent. These were all investments.
Ending his random thoughts, he sat up, closed his eyes, and began to sense the changes in himself and the awakened abilities after fusing with the Soul Spirit and obtaining the Soul Ring.
After obtaining the first Soul Ring, the most obvious change after the Origin Spirit Martial Soul was activated was that a pair of wings had appeared on his back. These pure white, flawless wings, resembling angel wings, were called Origin Wings, and they granted Jing Shaoyu the ability to fly, which was undoubtedly a very important ability for him.
One should know that other Soul Masters, except for those of the flying type, needed at least the strength of a Soul King to gain the ability to fly.
A pure white, round gem had appeared on the Crown of Nature. This gem was called the Great Dao Source Stone. In theory, there should be ten of them, but limited by Jing Shaoyu's current strength, only one had awakened.
This first Great Dao Source Stone granted Jing Shaoyu a talent and a skill.
The talent was called Fire Monarch, which allowed him to gain a ten percent immunity to fire elements. The degree of immunity would increase with Jing Shaoyu's cultivation level. This talent was very important for the Origin Spirit Martial Soul.
The skill was called Fire Burst. Despite the intimidating name, it was actually just a Fireball, but it seemed to be a growth-type skill that would increase with Jing Shaoyu's cultivation level, making it a promising ability for the future.
At the same time, Fire Burst was one of the few offensive abilities of the Origin Spirit Martial Soul, making up for the lack of offensive capabilities of the Origin Spirit Martial Soul. It was a cause for celebration.
So, on the surface, Jing Shaoyu only had one Soul Ring and one Soul Skill, but in reality, he had three Soul Rings and three Soul Skills. The Fire Monarch talent was actually a passive Soul Skill.
This wasn't the most exciting thing for Jing Shaoyu. What excited him the most was his speculation.
There were ten Great Dao Source Stones in total. Since the first Great Dao Source Stone could provide him with fire element talent and skills, could the other nine Great Dao Source Stones provide him with other element talents and skills? If he became a Titled Douluo, he would theoretically awaken nine Great Dao Source Stones. Would those nine Great Dao Source Stones allow him to have immunity to nine elements at the same time? Jing Shaoyu was excited. Indeed, the Origin Spirit Martial Soul, as a symbol of nature, couldn't just have simple support and healing abilities! It seemed that this was the height that a natural Martial Soul should possess! What made Jing Shaoyu happy was not just one thing: his Soul Spirit, the Scarlet Jade Spirit Bird, had awakened.
It turned out that after signing the Soul Spirit contract with Jing Shaoyu, the Scarlet Jade Spirit Bird had fallen into a deep sleep. This was because it had been affected by the Origin Spirit Martial Soul, and its bloodline and life level had been greatly improved, so it needed to sleep to digest its own changes.
It was common knowledge in the Soul Master world that the Soul Rings of high-level Soul Beasts could transform low-quality Martial Souls, allowing weak Martial Souls to evolve imperceptibly.
This was the same between Soul Spirits and Soul Masters. Usually, the Soul Spirit would drive the evolution of the Martial Soul, but in Jing Shaoyu's case, it was the opposite. The quality of Jing Shaoyu's Martial Soul was too high, and the Scarlet Jade Spirit Bird was the one who had been improved, and its bloodline had evolved.
This was naturally a good thing for Jing Shaoyu, after all, in today's Soul Master world, Soul Spirits were also an important indicator of a Soul Master's strength.
The awakened Scarlet Jade Spirit Bird had undergone obvious changes in appearance. The original vermilion feathers were now a purer red, each one translucent, like a gemstone. A rhombus-shaped white gemstone had appeared on its head, which resembled that of a falcon. The gemstone was like an embryo, beneath which something was gestating.
Its size had become much smaller, only the size of Jing Shaoyu's palm, but this was only temporary, a non-combat state. In a combat state, it would naturally become larger.
"From now on, you'll be called Red Jade!" Jing Shaoyu held the Scarlet Jade Spirit Bird, which was standing on his palm, in front of him and said with a smile.
"Chirp chirp!" The Scarlet Jade Spirit Bird chirped happily when it heard Jing Shaoyu's words, jumping from his hand to his shoulder, and then from his shoulder back to his hand, looking very happy.
"Brother!"
Just as Jing Shaoyu was playing with his Soul Spirit Red Jade, Na'er pushed the door open and ran in. The little girl seemed to have a built-in targeting device, and she threw herself into Jing Shaoyu's arms, her wet hair rubbing against his clothes, making his chest feel damp.
Jing Shaoyu was really happy and helpless at the same time. He was happy because Na'er was very attached to him, but he was helpless because Na'er was a little too attached to him! "Ah!" Na'er, nestled in Jing Shaoyu's arms, exclaimed. She said sweetly, "What a cute little bird, Brother. Is this your Soul Spirit?"
"That's right, I call it Red Jade," Jing Shaoyu said, raising his hand, and Red Jade landed on his hand very intelligently.
"Chirp!" Red Jade let out a cheerful cry.
"Its voice is so lovely!" Na'er's eyes lit up, her little face full of adoration. She exclaimed, "I really want to have such a cute little bird too!"
"You will, next year when..." Jing Shaoyu blurted out instinctively, but immediately stopped himself, realizing something.
"Hmm?" Na'er glanced at Jing Shaoyu quizzically and asked, "Brother, why did you suddenly stop talking?"
"Nothing!" Jing Shaoyu quickly covered up with a smile, "I meant that next year, when Na'er awakens her Martial Soul, she'll have the chance to get an equally adorable Soul Spirit!"
"Hehe, I definitely will." Na'er's mind was completely focused on Red Jade at the moment, so she didn't notice the hint of unnaturalness in Jing Shaoyu's expression. She happily went along with Jing Shaoyu's words.
"Yes, yes!" Jing Shaoyu nodded quickly, brushing the matter aside.
Na'er stayed in Jing Shaoyu's room for a long time before Jing Ziyuan reluctantly dragged her away. Jing Shaoyu could only offer an apologetic look at the scene.
He steadied his mind, sat down cross-legged, and began to cultivate. After breaking through to the Soul Master realm, Jing Shaoyu found that he was even more sensitive to the world's spiritual energy. Naturally, his cultivation speed also increased slightly.
In just a few breaths, Jing Shaoyu entered a meditative state.
...
Meanwhile, in a luxurious manor in East Sea City, Ouyang Jian was quietly flipping through the documents in his hand. A little girl with long blue hair skipped happily to his side. The girl looked to be only ten years old, but she was extremely beautiful, with delicate features and large, bright eyes.
"Grandpa, it's so late, why are you still working?" The girl plopped down next to Ouyang Jian and asked sweetly.
"Oh! Zixin, why aren't you asleep yet?" Ouyang Jian's face lit up with a kind smile when he saw the girl. He called out the girl's name. It turned out that this little girl was Ouyang Jian's granddaughter, Ouyang Zixin.
"I asked you first!" Ouyang Zixin said, hands on her hips.
"Oh, oh, that's right, hahaha." Ouyang Jian laughed, trying to play it off. "Look at me, I'm all muddled from work!"
"Hmph! Grandpa's always like this!" Ouyang Zixin pouted in dissatisfaction.
"Yes, yes, it's Grandpa's fault. Grandpa won't do it again!" Ouyang Jian immediately admitted his mistake and said with a smile.
"Really?" Ouyang Zixin looked distrustful and complained, "Grandpa, you always say that, but you always bring work home next time!"
"Ahahaha, this time is different, this time is different!" Ouyang Jian immediately explained, "I'm telling you, Zixin, our East Sea City has produced an Innate Full Soul Power this year!"
"I know, isn't it Xiao Yan?" Ouyang Zixin said dismissively, as if she had known it all along.
"It's not Xiao Yan," Ouyang Jian shook his head and said, "It's an orphan named Jing Shaoyu, and his Martial Soul is a very rare healing type!"
"Really?" Ouyang Zixin was a little surprised. In her mind, Innate Full Soul Power should belong to children from Soul Master families. How could an orphan awaken Innate Full Soul Power?
"Of course, it's true!" Ouyang Jian said confidently, "It's a pity that you've already graduated from Xuan Kong Academy, otherwise you would have been able to meet him tomorrow! But it doesn't matter, when there's a chance, Grandpa will take you to meet him. He's a boy so handsome he's almost an evil genius!"
"Handsome? Could he be more handsome than Xiao Yu Ge?" Ouyang Zixin asked.
"No, no, that Xu Family kid is nothing compared to Jing Shaoyu!" Ouyang Jian said.
"Tch! I don't believe it." Ouyang Zixin pouted.
