He understood Xihai's excitement, as did the vast majority of the children in the group.

Awakening their martial spirit is their first, and perhaps only, chance to change their destiny.

However, reality is often cruel; their martial spirits will most likely be just as ordinary and mediocre as their parents'.

To transcend social classes, they can only pin their hopes on the mysterious and extremely rare mutation of their martial soul.

But Jiang Bai still cooperated verbally, revealing a hint of expectant smile, and whispered.

"Of course I'm excited! This is a major life event!"

His gaze returned to the deacon who was guiding the first child, but his mind began to wander again.

Seven-Jeweled Glazed Tile Pagoda... Long Spear...

Hopefully it's a spear.

Jiang Bai prayed silently.

Even the most ordinary weapon spirit at least has the possibility of fighting and the power to protect itself.

As long as he has soul power, he has a chance to change things!

If it were the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda...

Just as his mind was in turmoil, the awakening ceremony had already begun.

"Blue Silver Grass? Let's test your soul power... You have no soul power..."

"Scythe... Let's test your soul power... You have no soul power..."

"Wooden stick...you have no soul power..."

"Carrot...you have no soul power..."

Soon, it was West Sea's turn.

Xi Hai took a deep breath, walked to the center of the hexagon, and nervously closed his eyes.

As the female deacon infused her soul power, the six black stones emitted a hazy golden light, enveloping the West Sea within them.

As if drawn by an attraction, specks of golden light surged wildly into Xihai's body.

Xi Hai's body trembled slightly, and he subconsciously reached out his right hand.

In an instant, all the golden light gathered in his palm, and after the light dissipated, a whip appeared in his hand.

"Martial Soul... a whip? Come, let's test your soul power."

The female deacon's voice remained calm as she took out a blue crystal ball.

Xi Hai, somewhat bewildered, gripped the whip and placed his hand on the crystal ball as instructed.

The crystal ball remained dull and lifeless.

The female deacon said expressionlessly, "You have no soul power. Alright, next."

Finally, it was Jiang Bai's turn.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Jiang Bai calmly walked to the center of the hexagon.

He closed his eyes, carefully feeling the warm energy flowing into his body.

The energy coursed through his body, and eventually, it seemed to touch something dormant deep within his bloodline, causing a burning sensation to emanate from his palm.

He slowly raised his right hand.

As the light faded, a crystal-clear pagoda, as if carved from the finest glass, floated quietly in his palm.

The entire Awakening Room fell into complete silence.

Everyone was awestruck by this exquisite and magnificent martial spirit.

The female deacon's pupils constricted sharply, and she exclaimed in shock, "The Seven-Jeweled Glazed Tile Pagoda?! And... it's wild! How... how is this possible?!"

She looked at Jiang Bai in disbelief, then at the pagoda in his hand.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the number one auxiliary weapon spirit in the world!

How could this child, dressed in tattered clothes and living in a small border village, possibly...

Looking at the magnificent pagoda in his palm, Jiang Bai felt a mix of emotions.

So, she did inherit her father's martial spirit after all?

Support class... It seems that my envisioned life of riding a horse and wielding a spear, seeking revenge and settling scores, is about to end before it even begins.

A faint sense of loss lingered in my heart.

"Child, you..."

The female deacon suppressed her shock, looked at Jiang Bai with a complicated expression, and took out the crystal ball for testing soul power.

"Let's test the soul power first."

Jiang Bai did as instructed, placing her left hand on the cool crystal ball.

Almost the instant his palm touched it, the crystal ball burst forth with an incredibly intense blue light!

"Innate soul power...level nine!"

The female deacon's voice trembled slightly.

Looking at the dazzling blue light, Jiang Bai felt a little less disappointed.

Level 9...that's not bad.

However... there's not much difference between the un-evolved Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, whether it's level nine or full soul power.

It's just a matter of how fast or slow it takes to get to the Seventh Ring Road.

Jiang Bai withdrew his martial spirit with a complicated expression.

Is being a support role really the only option?

The female deacon was completely absorbed in the ecstasy of discovering the treasure and did not notice the complex and incomprehensible expression on Jiang Bai's face.

At this moment, all she could see was a burning desire to achieve results!

Innate Soul Power Level Nine!

His martial soul is the world-famous Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!

If this were reported to the higher-ups of the Spirit Hall, the reward would be far more generous than anyone could imagine!

Perhaps this will allow them to move to a big city for development.

Although she was also full of doubts, how could the direct descendant of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's martial soul appear on a simply dressed child in this small village?

But all of this pales in comparison to the tangible achievements.

"Child, what's your name?"

She pressed her hands firmly on Jiang Bai's tender shoulders, her fingertips even trembling slightly with excitement, and asked urgently.

"Would you like to join our Spirit Hall? With your talent, you're sure to receive the best training!"

Should I join the Spirit Hall?

Jiang Bai quickly calmed down and weighed the pros and cons.

For now, this seems like a good option.

He carried the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, yet he was utterly powerless to protect himself.

Alone, he happily ran back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Not to mention the long journey and the many dangers involved.

I heard that the current Pope is still Chihiro?

Although it is unclear when this time point corresponds to in the original work, or how long Qian Xunji can remain in power.

But at least for now, the Spirit Hall is still a behemoth that can provide him with some protection.

In a flash, Jiang Bai made his decision.

He looked up and nodded: "Sister, I'm joining the Spirit Hall!"

(He will stay at the Martial Soul Academy until he is 12 years old, and will leave to hunt in the wild after he is 12 years old.)

"Good! Good! Good!"

Upon hearing this, the female deacon's face instantly lit up with a bright smile, and she said "good" three times in a row.

She immediately took out a form from her folder, quickly filled in the information, and carefully put it away.

They acted so quickly, as if they were afraid Jiang Bai would change his mind.

"Jiang Bai, go home and stay there. Don't wander off."

The female deacon gently instructed.

"After a while, we will send someone to pick you up and take you to the Martial Soul Academy for systematic learning and training."

"Okay, sister."

Jiang Bai obediently agreed.

Afterwards, everyone walked out of the stone house.

Grandma Liu, the village chief who had been waiting outside, hurried forward and asked expectantly, "Sir, how is it? How many children in our village have soul power this year?"

The female butler was in a very good mood at the moment. She affectionately patted Jiang Bai's head beside her and replied with a smile.

"Yes, there is one, and he has quite a talent, with innate soul power at level nine!"

Grandma Liu followed her movements and looked at Jiang Bai, a hint of understanding flashing in her eyes, which then turned into relief and emotion.

"Good...good...Little Jiang Bai has finally reaped the rewards after all his suffering...Thank you for your hard work, Steward."

The female butler nodded demurely.

"It's my duty. Alright, I need to hurry to the next village and can't delay. This child has already joined the Spirit Hall, and I've recorded the relevant information. Someone will come to pick him up, so your village doesn't need to make any further arrangements."

After saying that, she didn't linger. She shouldered her bag and walked briskly towards the edge of the village, her figure quickly disappearing at the end of the road.

……

It is night, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse.

Jiang Bai lay alone on the roof of his simple courtyard, his hands behind his head, gazing at the dazzling starry sky, his thoughts drifting.

Now that the martial spirit and its future destination have been determined, some long-term plans should be put on the agenda.

He recalled the original plot he had read in his previous life, and one of the most important opportunities was undoubtedly the immortal herbs in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire!

Should I go directly to Dugu Bo, or try to seduce Dugu Yan first to enter the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well...?
