Chapter Two, the awakening of the martial soul will certainly be conducted by Brother Tao
He probably thinks that tomorrow he will merely go through the motions
The elderly man is Lu Qing's second uncle, named Lu Wu, who is also Lu Yuan's great-grandfather. He is currently the oldest elder remaining in Lujiacun, and thus also serves as the village chief of Lujiacun
Su Yuntao immediately felt Lu Yuan's gaze, and after a moment of surprise, he saw that it was just a child, so he did not say much.
Indeed, Tao Ge's expression subtly revealed a hint of pride, and with a slight bow that was neither too formal nor too casual, he acknowledged the gesture. "I don't have much time, so let's begin now."
He looked at Lu Yuan and said, "Xiao Yuan is just at the right age for awakening this year"
He is—clearly a single dog with a martial soul, yet he grandiosely refers to himself as a lone wolf. Every time he helps a big shot awaken their martial soul, he always says that this martial soul is useless. With a faint air of arrogance and perpetual impatience, he is the deacon of the Martial Soul Hall and the awakening master—Master Su Yuntao
Lu Qingqing did not know why Lu Yuan sighed, but she seemed to sense that Lu Yuan was unhappy. Immediately, she reached out her small hand to stroke Lu Yuan's forehead, giggling, "Brother... Brother..."
In this situation, not to mention the desire to awaken a good martial soul, it would be difficult to even have a level 1 soul power after awakening.
Upon entering this world, I was fortunate to have both parents and a lovely younger sister—not the kind of sibling relationship like Tang San and Xiao Wu, but a true blood-related sister. This indeed made Lu Yuan feel a sense of warmth between siblings.
Lu Yuan couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Alright, single dog."
He was given the opportunity to traverse another world by the heavens, yet he was not granted a golden finger, which left him quite frustrated
A few children seemed a bit timid. Lu Yuan glanced around, and the other kids took a step back. He helplessly stepped forward and said, "Tao Ge, I'll go first."
"You still haven't given up, huh..." Brother Tao looked at him helplessly and then said, "If it were another village, it would be fine, but in your Lu family village, the martial souls are mostly scythe martial souls, making it very difficult for a child capable of cultivating m.hetushucomcom to appear."
In summary, tomorrow Xiaoyuan will accompany Second Uncle on a trip. Xiaoyuan, what do you think?" At this moment, Lu Wu said kindly while looking at Lu Yuan.
Lu Qing couldn't help but smile wryly, "Second Uncle, I think we should just let it go. Our village hasn't had anyone awaken their soul power for several years now."
Only Tao Ge and the six children in front of him remained. As a deacon of the Spirit Hall, assisting ordinary people in their spirit awakening was a necessary duty for Tao Ge, and he had long since become accustomed to it. "Children, line up."
Lu Wuchu leaned on his cane, having been conscripted into the battlefield by the border troops of the Tiandou Empire over a decade ago, resulting in an injury to his right leg that left him limping.
Just as every little spider has the same Uncle Ben, every story in Douluo will inevitably involve the same person
One particular protagonist, however, falls far short.
Then Su Yuntao smiled at the several children and said: "My name is Su Yuntao, a Level 26 Soul Master, and I am your guide. Now, I will awaken your martial souls one by one. Remember, no matter what happens, do not be afraid"
The tyrannical energy began to rage and spread, while simultaneously, a dark force surged and roiled within him
Although Lujiacun is a village with a smaller population compared to other villages, it has a considerable number of children.
Now heaven still tells him that in this lifetime, Lu Yuan can only be a farmer like his parents, toiling in the fields for food, living a life of mediocrity, which is even harder to accept
Upon seeing the elder, Lu Yuan's father, Lu Qing, and mother, Mana, hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, saying, "Second Uncle, what brings you here"
This is enough to earn Lu Yuan's admiration for the Spirit Hall. Although the Spirit Hall is undoubtedly the villain of Douluo Continent, its style of doing things is quite straightforward.
Tyranny, wantonness, and shadows compel one to submit to them
Lu Yuanshen thought, "Alright, Brother Tao, I have known your name for a long time."
This is the standard attire for personnel directly affiliated with the Wuhe - Tu - Book Soul Hall.
Su Yuntao immediately noticed Lu Yuan, whose expression was completely different from that of the other children. He glanced at him and then looked away.
"Hey... Xiaoyuan is such a good child..." Lu Wu looked at Lu Yuan and Lu Qingqing, his eyes squinting with laughter as he took out two candies from his hand. "Good children, come here, Second Grandpa will give you some candy."
Thank you, Second Grandpa. Lu Yuan politely took the candy in his hand and expressed his gratitude
Yuan'er ... ... Qingqing ... ... Mom and Dad are back! Just as Lu Yuan was playing with his younger sister, their biological parents finally finished their work in the fields and walked back with smiles.
... ...
... ...
"Alright, Second Grandfather!" Lu Yuandong immediately nodded repeatedly
Then, Lu Wucai turned to Lu Qing and Mana, smiling as he said, "The reason I came this time is that tomorrow will be the Awakening Ceremony of this year"
Certainly, this so-called Spirit Hall is merely a larger wooden house
On the left chest, there is a badge engraved with long swords. The badge features a total of three crossed long swords, with the number three representing the third rank title of a Soul Master, the Great Soul Master. The long swords signify that this steward from the Spirit Hall is a Battle Soul Master
Fortunately, Lu Yuan and Tang San are not from the same village, and there is not much overlap between them
In the future ... there will likely be no intersection, after all, although he is a time traveler, it seems he did not bring any special abilities or systems with him.
Lu Wu felt somewhat discouraged, but he still said, "I believe that one day, our Lu Family Village will have another Soul Master!"
It is our familiar old friend—Su Yuntao, Brother Tao
Su Yuntao immediately felt an overwhelming force spreading throughout the venue, an indescribable power that compelled one to submit beneath its might
However, this is sufficient to demonstrate how much the Spirit Hall values the commitment to the awakening of martial souls.
Sigh... Just thinking about this, Lu Yuan let out a heavy sigh again
Lu Wu is quite amiable, treating the villagers with great kindness, not to mention his treatment of the Lu Yuan family
Even if he cannot become the unparalleled Title Douluo, a supreme powerhouse above all, he still aims to become an outstanding businessman through his own efforts
"Do not be afraid, close your eyes and feel carefully." As he spoke, Su Yuntao's eyes suddenly brightened. Amidst the astonished gazes of the other children, he shouted, "Lone Wolf, possess me."
Lu Yuan hurriedly took the lead, guiding five children to stand in a row
Under the leadership of Lu Wu, Lu Yuan followed him to the Soul Hall located in the center of Lu Family Village
Once he reacted, he looked at Lu Yuan with a strange expression and said, "Alright then, you go first."
Su Yuntao's hair was originally black, but after the infusion of that azure light, it instantly turned gray and began to grow rapidly. Hair of the same color appeared on his exposed hands, and at the same time, his body seemed to have expanded significantly, filled with a sense of muscularity.
You little rascal! Lu Wu was instantly filled with rage, raising his cane as if to strike him.
On the following day, Lu Wu came early in the morning to pick up Lu Yuan
Su Yuntao was momentarily taken aback when Lu Yuan referred to him as "Brother Tao," and he did not react immediately.
Hey, hey, hey... Second Uncle, please, please, please! Lu Qing immediately begged for mercy, and only then did Lu Wu snort coldly and put away his cane
Lu Yuandong immediately affectionately ruffled his sister's hair, revealing a helpless smile
Finally, after all five children and Lu Wu had arrived, a young man appeared before Lu Yuan and the others. He appeared to be in his twenties, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, and his appearance was quite handsome. He wore a white fitted outfit, and behind him was a black cloak. At the center of his chest, there was a soul character the size of a fist.
Then, he leaned on his cane and walked out of the wooden cabin
Hello, esteemed Master of Battle Souls, I must trouble you this time www.hetushu.com. Second Grandpa respectfully saluted Brother Tao
He has arrived
It is certainly not surprising, as the entire village is comprised of the Lu family
What do you mean by that! Lu Wu immediately puffed out his cheeks and glared, "You must understand that our ancestors were once a noble Soul Sect!"
With his insights and forward vision from the modern world, it is not impossible for him to become an outstanding businessman in this world that resembles a feudal society of the West
This year, a total of six children in Lujiacun underwent the awakening of their martial souls, all arriving one by one under the leadership of Lu Wu.
"Forget it, even if I cannot become a Soul Master, I refuse to believe that with my intellect, I cannot achieve something remarkable in this world". Lu Yuan silently made a resolution in his heart
With the emergence of soul masters, the descendants of the Lu family village have gained some degree of livelihood security and will no longer be looked down upon by others
Lu Yuan felt as if he were enveloped in a warm and cozy world, an indescribable comfort
Su Yuntao arranged six black stones on the ground to form a hexagon, and then gestured for the children to come forward
Originally, this world was in an era of low productivity, with no entertainment programs, which is already enough to make modern people feel uncomfortable
At last, Lu Yuan could no longer hold back. He stepped forward, his left eye radiating a blue light, while his right eye shone with a blood-red glow. He shouted, "Heaven's decree, supreme authority!"
Lu Yuandong immediately looked at Brother Tao with a faint smile
Lu Wu pursed his lips and said: "Alright. Children, this is the Soul Master from Notting City. Next, he will guide you in awakening your own martial souls. You must cooperate well with the Master during the martial soul awakening, as your grandfather looks forward to seeing some of you become Soul Masters."
Who arrived first? he suddenly asked
Suddenly, Lu Yuan's eyes lit up, here it comes!
Guidance ... ... guidance. ... ... In the end, it seems that something was missing, which caused the power within Lu Yuan to remain unmanifested.
However, at that moment, Lu Yuan suddenly felt as if something within him had shattered under the pull of that warm energy. All the warmth in the atmosphere changed in an instant, and an inexplicable sensation surged throughout his body
In fact, he did not have much expectation, after all, he did not have a system and his family background was not particularly good
While speaking, Su Yuntao opened his package on the adjacent table and took out two items: six glossy black round stones and a shining blue crystal ball
A faint blue light first emanated from the center of his forehead, traveling upward along the position of his brow and entering his hair bun
Lu Yuan smiled as he took his sister's hand and walked towards their parents
So handsome! Immediately, Lu Yuan's eyes sparkled, and he thought to himself
What a scythe it is, with a blend of blue, purple, and gold colors intertwined. The blade is a translucent purple, while a golden orb on the handle spins like an eye.
As for Lu Yuan's ancestors from three generations ago, according to his father Lu Qing, they were all ordinary people without soul power and unable to cultivate
Lu Wu is very attentive to the Soul Awakening Ceremony of Lu Family Village every year. He is a person who places great importance on family honor. Although it has been difficult for Lu Family Village to produce a soul master in recent decades, he firmly believes that one day, with the blessings of their ancestors, the village will once again have a soul master.
Lu Yuan quickly brought his younger sister to stand before Lu Wu, displaying a smile, "Hello, Second Granduncle"
"How many years have passed since then? Our ancestors are from over 200 years ago..." At this moment, my father, Lu Qing, who lacked any emotional intelligence, said bluntly.
As time passed day by day, on a certain day, Lu Yuan encountered a familiar person at home
In the next moment, a gigantic scythe appeared in Lu Yuan's hand
Then, Lu Yuan approached him. Upon seeing this, Su Yuntao quickly clapped his hands, sending six faint green lights into the six black stones on the ground. Instantly, a layer of golden light was released from the six stones, forming a light shield of pale gold that enveloped Lu Yuan before him
