Douluo Continent: Martial Soul is the Star Forging Dragon King

"Who is this?"

Upon seeing Bibi Dong suddenly appear, the village chief was only slightly taken aback, and then, like the other villagers, he showed no great surprise.

Soul Masters are highly skilled and elusive.

It's perfectly reasonable that ordinary people like them wouldn't notice the other party's arrival.

Moreover, judging from Bibi Dong's demeanor and attire, she clearly possesses an extremely high social status.

"This is my teacher, an extremely powerful Soul Master."

"War Soul Master!"

The villagers bowed to Bibi Dong with great trepidation, but she was already used to the customs of the lower classes in Douluo Continent and told them not to be reserved.

“I heard about your affairs from this child.”

"Since we're both members of the Spirit Hall, and we've run into each other, let's help him complete his awakening process."

To be honest, Bibi Dong was somewhat dissatisfied with the Spirit Hall members' disrespect towards commoners.

Soul Masters are arrogant and look down on ordinary people; this is a common phenomenon in the Douluo Continent.

If Luo Chen had any direct impression of the original Douluo Continent novel, it would be that the characters in the work all had a very obvious mentality of 'bullying the weak and flattering the strong'.

Bibi Dong knew that there was much darkness and filth within the Spirit Hall.

She also wanted to conduct a thorough investigation.

However, this kind of corruption has always been very adept at dealing with prosecutors.

As the saying goes, "For every policy from above, there's a countermeasure from below."

Achieving true peace and prosperity is not something that can be done overnight; it requires a great deal of time and effort.

'It seems we need to increase the intensity of our review.'

Bibi Dong's gaze grew increasingly cold. She planned to establish a special department to deal with corruption after returning this time.

"Thank you, War Soul Master."

The villagers bowed again, demonstrating their respect and gratitude towards the Spirit Hall's Soul Masters.

"Ah."

Bibi Dong waved her hand, signaling everyone to step back.

"Xiao Chen, these are for you."

"This is... a blank proof?"

Looking at the stack of parchment scrolls handed over by Bibi Dong, it was the Spirit Awakening Certificate issued by the Spirit Hall.

This thing records the identity, innate soul power, and type of martial soul of the soul master awakened by the Spirit Hall; it can be considered a kind of official certificate.

Given the Spirit Hall's credibility on the Douluo Continent, this document can greatly help children who have awakened their soul power to enter the primary soul master academy.

"You'll probably encounter quite a few similar villages along your journey."

Bibi Dong: "If you see children who need to be awakened, then help them awaken as well."

"Okay, teacher."

Luo Chen readily accepted. He had faced similar troubles before, so he was well aware of the common people's yearning for awakening.

Throughout the entire continent, only the Spirit Hall is willing to awaken martial spirits for ordinary people for free.

"The other party promised to come and awaken you today, but they didn't show up?"

Afterwards, Luo Chen and Bibi Dong learned the whole story from the village chief.

Upon learning that it was indeed the Spirit Hall's Soul Masters who hadn't come, Luo Chen felt a strange sense of surprise.

According to the villagers, the deacon was not an arrogant person, nor was it the first time he had awakened martial spirits for the children.

"It seems that Master Zhanhun has encountered some trouble."

The village chief, not wanting the Spirit Hall member to be punished for this incident, quickly defended him.

"Yes, I'll look into it."

Since Luo Chen was fine anyway, and the other party was, after all, a member of the Spirit Hall, if they really encountered any danger, he, as the newly promoted eighth elder, had no reason to sit idly by.

What's more, the Pope of the Spirit Hall was sitting right next to him.

If there were any truly sordid matters, who would be more qualified than her to deal with the local Martial Soul Branch Hall?

"Children, come with me."

After the meal, Bibi Dong led the six children from Bamboo Sword Village to the Spirit Hall's headquarters in the village.

It was called a base, but it was really just a small wooden house. This was the reality for most village spirit branch halls, since no spirit master would want to stay in such a place permanently.

Don't underestimate ordinary soul masters compared to Luo Chen and Bibi Dong.

However, in the eyes of ordinary people in Douluo Continent, obtaining a spirit ring and becoming a true spirit master is equivalent to achieving a leap in social class.

If you're lucky, you might break through to the Soul Master level in your lifetime and be granted a title in various countries, becoming a baron.

Even the lowest rank of baron is still a nobleman.

The population of Douluo Continent is 230 million, and the number of Soul Masters is around 100,000.

In total, on average, each Soul Master can receive 2000 civilians.

Just imagine, if the resources of 2000 people are concentrated in one person, how much power, status, and wealth can that person achieve?

Of course, this is just theory.

In reality, although Soul Masters below level 30 have a higher status than ordinary people, they do not have much power.

Only those Soul Masters who have broken through to the Soul Venerable level are the true ruling class of the Douluo Continent.

"Don't be nervous, everyone. Come up one by one and stand in the center of this magic circle."

After setting up the awakening array, Luo Chen saw the unease on the children's faces and began to comfort them.

Bibi Dong did not intervene, but instead completely handed the task over to her disciple.

'Hmm, Xiao Chen is so cute when she's working hard.'

Bibi Dong was so infatuated with her disciple's good looks that she could not extricate herself.

On the other hand, Ah Yin and Tian Meng were used to Bibi Dong's infatuated behavior and were no longer surprised by it.

"The Martial Soul Bamboo Sword has no soul power. Next."

Luo Chen looked at the third child who had awakened his martial soul, and the disappointment on the child's face was obvious.

Unfortunately, this is the reality of Douluo Continent. Without soul power, one cannot become a soul master, and thus can only live as an ordinary person for the rest of their life.

Although there are other options such as clerical work, military service, and business, considering that this is a world where great power is concentrated in one person, what good is power if one's personal safety cannot be guaranteed?

Fortunately, the current situation of Douluo Continent is not bad.

Although the two empires occasionally clashed, they were generally on the path to peace.

Apart from Soul Masters who can break the law with their martial arts, no one else dares to violate the law. The management of Soul Masters has been the responsibility of the Douluo Hall, which is now the Spirit Hall, since ancient times.

The three upper sects, the four lower sects, and the soul masters trained by various countries all have to act according to the Spirit Hall's wishes.

"what?"

Suddenly, as Luo Chen was awakening his fifth child, a faint fluctuation of soul power was detected by his spiritual power.

Standing in front of Luo Chen was a boy with long, black hair. He was not tall and his body was very thin, perhaps due to years of malnutrition.

The boy's eyes were extremely indifferent, and he was the only one who had shown little emotional fluctuation since he awakened his martial soul.

"This is."

Luo Chen quickly handed the crystal ball to the boy, and while testing his soul power, he also examined the small sword floating on the boy's right hand.

Chapter 107 Little Idiot

Judging from the perception of the solar disk, it's just a low-level martial soul.

The soul power results from the crystal ball test clearly confirmed Luo Chen's perception: "Level 3 innate soul power?"

"A martial spirit that is a sword is quite rare."

Like Luo Chen, Bibi Dong also noticed the child's special qualities.

The opponent's martial spirit is very special; it is not a purely physical sword, but rather the concept of a sword.

Unfortunately, the opponent's innate soul power was too low.

Luo Chen could use the Sun Disc to help him ascend, but the problem is, he has no reason to do so.

Nowadays, among the high-ranking members of the Spirit Hall, Luo Chen's ascension ceremony has become the highest honor in the eyes of all elders and worshippers.

This can be seen from the changes in Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo after their ascension.

The two's martial souls underwent a qualitative change, not only were their flaws remedied, but they also received a significant boost.

To ascend, one must either serve the Spirit Hall or make sufficient contributions to Luo Chen.

Even Jin Tianyue only achieved ascension because of Jin E Douluo's loyalty to Luo Chen.

Imagine if Luo Chen were to casually perform an ascension ceremony for a child he had just met, what value would their efforts have in the eyes of Golden Crocodile Douluo and others?

"I can sense that this young man has great potential, but he is held back by his innate soul power."

Based on the information fed back by the Sun Disc, Luo Chen discovered that the boy's talent, like his martial soul, lay in the sword.

"Then let's invite them to take a look."

Bibi Dong supported Luo Chen's decision: "If he is willing to join the Spirit Hall, we will give him more opportunities in the future so that he can accumulate merits."

Once he has accumulated enough merit, Luo Chen can definitely give this kid special treatment and pull him along.

However, Luo Chen did not speak immediately. Instead, he told the boy to go back and then began to complete the awakening of the last child.

"The martial soul is Blue Silver Grass, but it has no soul power."

At this moment, Luo Chen understood why Brother Tao had that attitude when he helped others awaken their martial souls.
