It wasn't long before it was Xiao Yan's turn.
He walked into the center of the six black stones, and as Su Yuntao injected six streams of soul power, a faint golden light flickered and shone.
"Is this the feeling of a martial soul awakening? It's quite comfortable, like soaking in a hot spring."
Before long, Xiao Yan felt as if something like shackles on his body had shattered, and something in his palm began to reveal itself, emitting a burst of golden light.
Su Yuntao's eyes lit up. This time, the intensity of the golden light was much stronger than before, perhaps indicating a powerful martial soul.
For them, the enforcers of Spirit Hall responsible for awakening martial souls for ordinary people, if they could awaken a child with extraordinary potential and bring them into the Spirit Hall, it would greatly benefit their evaluation and promotion prospects.
Xiao Yan looked down at his right hand, recognizing a very familiar martial soul.
"Blue Silver Grass!"
This martial soul had previously appeared in the palm of the girl beside him, so Xiao Yan immediately recognized it.
Su Yuntao sighed, "Another useless martial soul. It seems Holy Soul Village has wasted their time again. Alright, children, you can leave now."
Xiao Yan quickly said, "Master, you still haven't tested my innate soul power?"
Since the master was performing the martial soul awakening, he should at least follow the process.
Su Yuntao waved his hand, saying, "No need to test it. I've never seen anyone with soul power awaken from the Blue Silver Grass martial soul."
"The Blue Silver Grass doesn't have soul power? Why is that?" Xiao Yan asked in confusion.
It seemed like the people in this world had some strange ideas. Scythes weren't weapons, hammers weren't weapons, and rakes weren't weapons...
Now Su Yuntao was sticking to his experience, which was definitely wrong.
"Your question is a bit complicated. Let me just test your soul power."
As he spoke, Su Yuntao handed the blue crystal ball to Xiao Yan.
Following Su Yuntao's earlier instructions, Xiao Yan first used his will to retract his martial soul.
Retracting and releasing the martial soul didn't seem too difficult.
It was similar to controlling inner strength, where one could control the release and retraction of the martial soul.
Also, when the Blue Silver Grass martial soul appeared, it seemed to be formed from his inner strength.
After retracting his martial soul, Xiao Yan placed his hand on the blue crystal ball.
The moment his palm touched the crystal ball, Xiao Yan frowned, as the ball seemed to want to devour his inner strength.
However, since he had connected the Eight Extraordinary Meridians since childhood and his inner strength was stable, the crystal ball's suction couldn't shake the energy in his meridians.
"Let me release a little and try." Xiao Yan thought, and a thread of inner strength surged from his palm, allowing the crystal ball to absorb it.
At that moment, after absorbing Xiao Yan's inner strength, the crystal ball suddenly erupted with dazzling blue light, its glow growing from a small star to an intense brilliance.
The whole crystal ball gleamed like a sparkling gem, a faint blue halo surrounding it, radiating an indescribable beauty.
"Such a strong reaction?" Xiao Yan saw that with just a slight release of his inner strength, the crystal ball shone so brightly. He quickly stopped it from absorbing more and regained control.
Also surprised was Su Yuntao: "My goodness, it's actually innate full soul power!"
A blue light radiated from Su Yuntao's body, and the crystal ball released a force that gently pushed Xiao Yan's hand away.
Xiao Yan quickly noticed Su Yuntao's astonishment and asked, "Innate full soul power? Is my innate soul power very strong?"
Su Yuntao stared blankly at Xiao Yan, subconsciously explaining.
"When a person awakens their martial soul, the strength of the martial soul is determined by its form, but the amount of soul power is also crucial. Most people, when their martial soul awakens, don't have soul power, just like the children earlier. They will never become soul masters."
"However, as long as there is soul power, even if it's only a tiny bit, it can be cultivated through meditation. The amount of soul power is essential when a martial soul awakens; it determines how quickly a soul master can cultivate. The higher the innate soul power, the faster the cultivation speed in the future."
"At the same time, because the starting point is higher, they naturally have an advantage over others. Innate full soul power refers to the highest possible soul power one can have when their martial soul awakens."
"Highest soul power?" Xiao Yan was genuinely shocked. He had only used less than ten percent of his inner strength, and yet it was already the highest possible?
Moreover, from what the master had said, his thinking was indeed correct.
In the world of Douluo Continent, to become a soul master, the martial soul didn't matter as much; what mattered was the innate soul power. Only those with innate soul power could become soul masters.
Not only that, but his innate soul power seemed to be an extraordinary quality.
However, the crystal ball had clearly absorbed his inner strength just now. Was inner strength and soul power connected?
If they were connected, then the inner skill he practiced could be the most valuable asset in this world.
Su Yuntao clearly misunderstood Xiao Yan's intentions, thinking he was just a child interested in the matter of soul masters.
"The levels of our martial souls are as follows: every ten levels corresponds to a title. Once the martial soul awakens and has soul power, one can be called a soul student, though they would only be at level one. Depending on the strength of the martial soul, they are divided into different ranks. Innate full soul power means the highest soul power a person can achieve at the time of martial soul awakening."
As he spoke, Su Yuntao put away his martial soul and stored the martial soul awakening tools, adding, "I've never seen anyone with innate full soul power before. When I awakened, I only had level two soul power."
Xiao Yan continued asking, "Can innate soul power only reach level ten? Can it go higher?"
He still had a lot of inner strength left untapped. If he released all of it, he wasn't sure, but it should be stronger than Su Yuntao's level twenty-six.
"Of course not!" Su Yuntao immediately denied, "The strength of a soul master doesn't increase that easily. Every time you reach a new title, not only does your martial soul power need to reach the peak of the previous title, but you also need to obtain a soul ring. Without a soul ring, no matter how hard you cultivate, you can't enter the next title."
"For example, now that you've reached innate full soul power, in order for your soul power to increase further, it's not just about meditation. You must first obtain a soul ring, enter the next level, and then you can continue cultivating."
Hearing this, Xiao Yan felt even more confused.
His situation clearly didn't match what Su Yuntao had described.
The twelve meridians were like channels, and the Eight Extraordinary Meridians were like rivers and seas. The cultivation of inner strength had no limits.
Even though he had cultivated since childhood, and now his Xuantian Gong could operate at any time, his achievements were still just the beginning.
If there were bottlenecks, perhaps he didn't fully understand his own limits.
