Douluo Continent: I will always be one level above Tang San.

He stepped out from the back of the line, his gaze fixed directly on Su Yuntao:

"Great Soul Master Uncle, since we're already here, it won't hurt to do a test. What if there's a surprise?"

"I believe in my brother; he is no ordinary person."

Tang San suddenly looked up at Lin Chuan.

A warm feeling welled up in my heart, and I thought to myself:

Nobody believed in me, not even this magistrate from the Spirit Hall!

Only Brother Lin Chuan! He always believed in me unconditionally!

Su Yuntao frowned, looking at Lin Chuan's determined eyes, and then at Tang San's hopeful face.

He sighed; what could he do? He was too soft-hearted.

"Okay, let's test it then, even though it's a complete waste of time."

He handed the blue crystal ball to Tang San.

Tang San took a deep breath and placed his palm on it.

The next second, a scene that Su Yuntao would never forget happened.

The crystal ball suddenly shone brightly, and the dazzling blue light instantly illuminated the entire wooden house!

The light was so strong that it was almost blinding!

"What... what is this?"

"Innate full soul power?!"

Su Yuntao's eyes widened, and his voice rose!

"My God! The Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul has innate full soul power? How is this possible?"

Su Yuntao stared at Tang San as if he had seen a ghost.

Tang San was also startled by the light.

Overjoyed, he instinctively turned to look at Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan crossed his arms, smiled, and nodded at him, with an expression that said, "I knew it all along."

Tang San felt even more admiration: Even a Great Soul Master could be mistaken; Brother Lin Chuan truly has discerning eyes.

"What a pity, what a real pity."

Su Yuntao recovered from his shock and shook his head repeatedly.

"If it were any kind of offensive martial soul, even a scythe, combined with innate full soul power, it would be a genius, but it's Blue Silver Grass!"

Upon hearing this, the light in Tang San's eyes dimmed slightly.

"Alright, last one, come over here too."

Su Yuntao looked at Lin Chuan.

Although he was shocked just now, he didn't have much hope for Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan walked into the formation at a leisurely pace.

[Ding! Target Tang San's awakened twin martial souls have been detected: Blue Silver Grass (unawakened state) and Clear Sky Hammer.]

[Congratulations, host, on obtaining the following martial souls: Blue Silver King (evolvable) and Clear Sky Divine Sword (the pinnacle of weapon martial souls).]

Lin Chuan was secretly pleased, but remained outwardly calm.

As Su Yuntao's soul power was injected, Lin Chuan felt two streams of heat surging within his body.

He was the first to extend his right hand.

A blue blade of grass appeared.

But this herb is different from the Blue Silver Grass that Tang San just had.

The leaves are wider and thicker, and the whole thing is crystal clear.

It is covered with golden patterns, exuding a regal aura that commands respect.

The newly awakened Blue Silver Grass martial souls around them appeared automatically and uncontrollably.

These Blue Silver Grass martial spirits bent slightly towards Lin Chuan, as if in worship!

"Is this also Blue Silver Grass?"

"Wait, is this a mutated Blue Silver Grass?"

Su Yuntao was dumbfounded!

Before Su Yuntao could even finish being shocked...

Lin Chuan's left hand trembled slightly.

A phantom image of an ancient-looking longsword appeared.

The sharp sword intent that was revealed in that instant caused Su Yuntao, a level 26 Great Soul Master, to feel a stinging pain on his skin!

"Twin Martial Souls?!"

Su Yuntao was stunned and almost dropped the crystal ball.

How could such a dilapidated village produce twin martial souls?

Could it be that Su Yuntao really won the grand prize?

Tang San, standing to the side, was even more shocked.

Twin Martial Souls!

I also possess twin martial souls, and Brother Lin Chuan does too?

Moreover, that Blue Silver Grass martial soul is much stronger than my Blue Silver Grass aura!

As expected of Brother Lin Chuan! Even his martial spirit is stronger than mine!

"Child, quick! Quickly test your soul power!"

Su Yuntao's voice trembled; he had a premonition that he was about to make a great contribution today.

Lin Chuan placed his hand on the crystal ball.

A light even more dazzling than Tang San's burst forth!

It even caused the crystal ball to crack.

"Another innate full soul power!"

"It's even more profound than ordinary innate full soul power!"

Su Yuntao was so excited that he trembled all over and grabbed Lin Chuan's shoulder:

"Genius! Unparalleled genius!"

"Child, you must join the Spirit Hall! With your talent, His Holiness the Pope might even accept you as his disciple!"

Old Jack was dumbfounded, his mouth agape enough to fit an egg.

Two beings with innate full soul power?

Is our village's ancestral graves emitting auspicious smoke?

Despite Su Yuntao's fervent gaze, Lin Chuan remained remarkably calm.

"Join the Spirit Hall?"

Lin Chuan tilted his head, glanced at Tang San, and then firmly shook his head:

"I'm sorry, Uncle Great Soul Master. I can't agree to that."

Why?

Su Yuntao grew anxious: "This is the most sacred place on the continent, possessing the best resources!"

Lin Chuan pointed at Tang San and said with a serious expression:

"Because as the older brother, I have to take care of Xiao San. As you just said, Xiao San has a useless Blue Silver Grass spirit, so the Spirit Hall definitely won't take him seriously."

"If I go to the Spirit Hall and leave him here alone, who will take care of him? Who will accompany him in his cultivation?"

"In this world, strength is certainly important, but loyalty and righteousness will always come first in my heart!"

These words were powerful and resounding.

Tang San suddenly raised his head, and tears instantly welled up in his eyes.

"Brother Lin Chuan actually turned down the Spirit Hall's offer for my sake? That was a golden opportunity to rise to the top!"

"Tang San, Tang San, what have you done to deserve this!"

At that moment, a string in Tang San's heart was plucked hard.

If he had previously respected Lin Chuan, now he truly regarded Lin Chuan as a father!

Su Yuntao was also stunned.

Looking at the two children, especially at Lin Chuan's resolute expression, he felt a surge of emotion.

"Good boy."

Su Yuntao sighed.

He knew that forced relationships are never sweet.

Moreover, forcibly taking away such a loyal and affectionate child would only create enmity.

"Since you've made up your mind, I won't force you."

"However, since you're going to take care of him, let's go to the Elementary Soul Master Academy in Notting City together."

"Although it's not as good as the Spirit Hall, it's enough for you to get started."

"I'll give you two spots as work-study students!"

"The Spirit Hall welcomes you at any time."

"Thank you, Uncle Great Soul Master!" Lin Chuan bowed politely.

Tang San quickly wiped away his tears and bowed, secretly making a vow in his heart:

Brother Lin Chuan sacrificed so much for me. In this life, I must protect him with my life!

Anyone who dares to harm my elder brother is already courting death! I will kill them!

Lin Chuan had no idea what Tang San was thinking at that moment.

He secretly thought to himself: "Nothing beats leveling up while lying down in the Spirit Hall."

.......

On his way home from the Spirit Hall, Old Jack was as excited as a child, humming a little tune all the way.

Tang San, however, seemed preoccupied, keeping his head down and staring at his left hand.

Old Jack went back to the village entrance to report the good news first.

As Lin Chuan and Tang San walked slowly behind, Tang San finally couldn't hold back any longer.

"Brother Lin Chuan." Tang San stopped in his tracks, his expression extremely solemn.
