Douluo Continent: Tonight, a Fairy Tale Descends

Su Yuntao cleared his throat, maintaining his dignified demeanor: "Now that everyone is here, let's begin. Children, line up."

The awakening ceremony proceeded step by step. Most of the children awakened useless martial souls such as hoes, sickles, and blue silver grass, and their soul power was generally zero.

Su Yuntao's expression grew increasingly numb.

The line moved slowly, and finally it was Tang San and Cinderella's turn, who were at the back of the line.

"Step to the middle," Su Yuntao said calmly.

Tang San took a deep breath, glanced at Cinderella who was nodding slightly to him beside him, stepped forward, and stood in the center of the awakening magic circle composed of six black stones.

As Su Yuntao infused his soul power, golden light spots rose from the ground magic array, enveloping Tang San within them.

A warm aura enveloped his entire body, and Tang San clearly felt something awakening within him!

His left hand unconsciously rose, and a slender blue silver grass with pale blue veins quietly appeared, its leaves swaying gently, exuding a faint breath of life.

"Blue Silver Grass, a useless martial soul." A hint of disappointment flashed in Su Yuntao's eyes.

He frowned, but still routinely handed the blue crystal ball to Tang San, saying, "Concentrate, use your mind to retrieve your martial soul, and then put your hand on it to test your soul power."

Tang San did as he was told. When his little hand touched the cool crystal ball...

The crystal ball instantly emitted a dazzling blue light.

"This is... innate full soul power?" Su Yuntao looked at Tang San in surprise, his mouth agape enough to fit an egg.

Blue silver grass plus innate full soul power?

"This completely overturned his understanding; he had never heard of or seen anything like it before."

Tang San was also startled by the light, but he quickly calmed down, a look of confusion and surprise on his face, while his heart was filled with turmoil.

The internal energy brought by the Xuan Tian Gong was indeed counted as soul power!

And it's already max level! My sister's guess was right!

Su Yuntao took several deep breaths before he could barely calm the turmoil in his heart.

He gave Tang San a deep look, his eyes filled with complex emotions, and finally waved helplessly.

"Blue Silver Grass, with innate full soul power, next."

Tang San withdrew his hand, silently walked back to Cinderella's side, and whispered, "Sister, it's Blue Silver Grass."

Cinderella gently patted his shoulder and gave him an encouraging look.

"It's alright, Xiao San, soul power is the most important thing. I believe in you."

Her voice wasn't loud, but it carried a strange, comforting power, instantly dispelling most of the gloom in Tang San's heart caused by his martial soul being a useless one.

Cinderella stepped forward and stood within the magic circle, her entire body enveloped in golden light.

When Su Yuntao's soul power was guided into her body, Cinderella did not feel much unusual, except that the power within her that originated from the fairy tale seemed to be slightly touched.

She slowly extended her right hand.

A soft yet dazzling light gathered and condensed in her palm.

As the light faded, what was revealed to everyone were crystal-clear ballet shoes.

The toe of the shoe is also adorned with a tiny diamond.

It floated quietly in Cinderella's palm, radiating a dreamlike halo and an indescribable elegance and nobility.

Su Yuntao was overjoyed. This martial soul looked extraordinary and its quality was definitely not low.

He asked, "What kind of martial spirit is this?"

“Crystal Shoes,” Cinderella answered softly.

"Crystal Dancing Shoes".

Su Yuntao repeated it, feeling that the name was as fantastical as the martial spirit.

He handed over the blue crystal ball, already sensing that the girl in front of him was probably going to give him a surprise.

The moment Cinderella's fair and slender fingers touched the crystal ball.

The crystal ball transformed once again into a dazzling blue sphere of light.

Another one with innate full soul power, and it looks like a very high-quality martial soul.

Chapter 42 The Prince on the White Horse and the Little Match Girl

Su Yuntao was completely petrified. In a remote Holy Soul Village, two people with innate full soul power had appeared at the same time!

Although one is a useless martial soul, Blue Silver Grass, the other looks like a high-quality martial soul.

Su Yuntao's joy was palpable; discovering a genius with innate full soul power was a great achievement!

He's on the verge of getting a promotion, a raise, and reaching the pinnacle of his life.

With unprecedented enthusiasm, he said to Cinderella, "Little girl, are you interested in joining the Spirit Hall? A genius like you will receive intensive training."

Cinderella withdrew her hand, and the Crystal Dancing Shoes martial spirit dissipated into starlight.

She looked at the excited Su Yuntao and smiled, "Thank you for the invitation, Master. However, my brother and I are still young and need to stay with our father. Let's talk about joining the Spirit Hall later."

Cinderella refused decisively and without the slightest hesitation.

Joining the Spirit Hall was simply impossible for her, even though Tang Hao was currently indulging in alcohol and oblivious to worldly affairs.

But Cinderella knew that Tang Hao was definitely watching from the shadows, observing such a major event as the awakening of a martial soul.

If she agrees to join the Spirit Hall now, this Soul Master might be killed by Tang Hao with a single hammer blow before even leaving Holy Soul Village.

Upon hearing this, Su Yuntao spoke again: "Alright, I'm in Notting City. If the young lady changes her mind, she can come to the Spirit Hall in Notting City to find me."

“Master, I understand,” Cinderella replied calmly.

……

Meanwhile, in the central area of ​​Wuhun City, the atmosphere was equally solemn inside a large and strictly managed orphanage.

Today is the annual Martial Soul Awakening Day at the Martial Soul City Orphanage.

For these children who have lost their parents, awakening their martial spirit is their only chance to change their fate.

The children, dressed in matching faded gray school uniforms, stood in neat rows, their little faces filled with tension and anticipation.

Prince Florian stood in the middle of the procession.

He had dazzling short blond hair, as bright as the sun, and his features were exquisitely sculpted. His azure eyes were calm and gentle, and even in his simple academy uniform, he could not hide his innate noble temperament.

Soon, it was his turn.

The person in charge of the awakening was a middle-aged woman dressed in the uniform of a Spirit Hall steward with a serious expression.

She unleashed her martial spirit, an elegant kingfisher with two yellow and one purple spirit rings.

The Spirit Hall deacon guided his spirit power, and a pale golden light enveloped Florian.

As the soul power surged into Florian's body, he felt a warm and sacred power instantly awaken within him.

He involuntarily stretched out his right hand.

In an instant, a dazzling platinum-gold light burst forth from his palm.

The light was so intense that it even overshadowed the golden light of the awakening array.

Before everyone's astonished eyes, a phantom yet incomparably sacred being materialized and took shape in the light.

It resembles a fine horse, but is more elegant and slender, its entire body covered in white fur as pure as moonlight, shimmering with a faint halo of holiness.

Most striking is the single horn on its forehead, which resembles a piece of pure crystal. The tip of the horn is surrounded by specks of golden, sacred light, radiating a divine aura.

"unicorn!"

The middle-aged female deacon cried out in surprise, her voice trembling.

She suddenly stood up, her kingfisher spirit trembling slightly with excitement.

She stared incredulously at the sacred being in Florian's palm, then at Florian's face, bathed in holy light, as perfect as a divine child!

Unicorn! A legendary sacred beast!

It symbolizes purity, light, hope, and protection.

This kind of martial spirit only exists in ancient records and legends. It is not only a top-level beast martial spirit, but also represents a sacred attribute. Its rarity and potential far exceed those of ordinary top-level martial spirits.

The orphanage was in shock. All the children, caregivers, and even the lower-ranking deacons responsible for maintaining order stared in disbelief at this sacred scene.

Florian was bathed in holy light, his expression calm and gentle, as if it were all perfectly natural.

The female deacon suppressed the turmoil in her heart and, with trembling hands, handed the blue crystal ball to Florian.

The result is no suspense.

The crystal ball emitted a bright blue light.

It is innate full soul power.

"A unicorn! Innate full soul power!"

The deacon was overjoyed. She looked at Florian with the same ecstasy she would give a rare treasure.

"Good boy! What's your name?"

"Florian, Deacon."

Florian withdrew his martial spirit, the holy light dissipated, he bowed slightly, his manners impeccable, his voice gentle and clear.

"Florian! Good! Good! Good!"

The female deacon exclaimed "Good!" three times in a row, so excited that she became incoherent.

"You wait here! Don't go anywhere! I'll report this immediately! Immediately!"

She practically ran out of the Awakening Hall, forgetting to even retract her Kingfisher Martial Soul.

Soon, the entire Wuhun City orphanage, and even the nearby Wuhun Hall branch, were alarmed.

A peerless genius with innate full soul power, possessing a unicorn martial soul, was born in an orphanage.

The news spread like wildfire.
