Chapter 292: The Spirit Was Sealed

Even if their martial spirits are not those of civilian workers or protagonists, you don't have to express your disappointment so obviously. How much harm will this do to the children?

Moreover, he has already expressed his disappointment without even testing it. Is this really good? What if there is a high-quality martial spirit inside? Wouldn't it be a slap in the face? What on earth was this guy thinking? It was a waste of the delicious food that the village head's grandmother cooked last night.

Su Yuntao had no idea what Lu Yu was thinking. He didn't say much. He reached out and took out six pitch-black round stones from his body. Then, he waved his hand and scattered them around.

The six stones were arranged in a hexagonal formation on the ground. Lu Yu had seen this formation before and knew that these stones were energy stones. Only with their existence could the crystal ball that awakened the martial soul be mobilized.

Sure enough, the next second, Su Yingtao took out another crystal ball from his arms. He looked at the shocked little kids standing by and said, "I will use my soul power later to fill the crystal ball that is testing us with energy."

"No matter what you see, don't get too excited, and don't make any noise. Just follow my instructions and walk to the center of the formation."

After saying this, Su Yuntao immediately turned his soul power around, and the hexagonal formation began to emit a faint light. Su Yuntao motioned the first child to come over and stand in the middle of the formation. Then, he shouted softly, "Lone Wolf!"

As two soul rings, one white and one yellow, rose from under his body, the surrounding children all widened their eyes in shock. However, something even more shocking happened next... Su Yuntao's entire body swelled up rapidly, and his body surface was covered with long hair, turning him into the appearance of a wolf.

His whole body was filled with a sense of power. Although Lu Yu had shown his spirit ring and martial soul to these children before, because Lu Yu's martial soul was very special and could not be possessed like a beast-shaped martial soul, the shock it brought was not as great as the shock Su Yuntao brought to them.

All the children were shocked, and there was a hint of fear and terror in their eyes. But when they got used to it, they couldn't help but reveal admiration on their faces. They had never seen a real soul master since they were little!

Although Lu Yu is also a soul master, perhaps because they grew up together, he does not look as powerful as the soul master in front of him, because the body of this person has expanded so many times that he looks like a huge monster.

Presumably, its sense of power would also be overwhelming. On the other side, Su Yuntao quickly shot out several green rays of light towards the hexagonal stone. Then, the light flashed, and a faint golden light was refracted from the stone.

These golden lights enveloped the first child. Su Yuntao looked at the little carrot-head standing in front of him, frowned and said softly: "Now stretch out your right hand and feel your martial spirit with all your strength."

Hearing this, the first child quickly stretched out his hand. All the other children stared at the scene in a daze. The boy seemed to be hypnotized. He had no reaction of his own and only responded to Su Yuntao's words. Then, no one knew how much time had passed.

A small sickle appeared on his right palm. After seeing the sickle, Su Yuntao's expression instantly turned ugly. He said to the child, "Now you touch this crystal ball and input your strength into it."

The boy put his hand on the crystal ball and continued to do as Su Yuntao said. However, after a long time, there was no change at all. The crystal ball remained the same. Su Yuntao shook his head and said to the village chief beside him: "Become a farmer in the future. You should be able to make great achievements."

Hearing this, the little boy couldn't help but look a little lonely, and old Jack also showed a hint of disappointment on his face. He waved at the little boy, and the little boy immediately walked to his side. Old Jack was still thinking about how to comfort the child.

Normally, as long as the final martial spirit test results were not ideal, these children would show disappointment and sadness on their faces. But today, for some reason, the village chief looked down and found that this child did not show any sadness.

This made the village chief a little surprised for a moment - are the children nowadays so mentally resilient? In fact, he didn't know, because his words just now made these children, after confirming that their martial spirits were not powerful, also firmly believe in the truth that "everyone is born with talent and will be useful".

So, instead of being as lonely as the previous children, three more boys and one girl were tested one after another. The martial spirits of the three boys were either sickles or hoes, while the martial spirit of the girl was blue silver grass.

As for the few of them, there was no fluctuation of soul power either. Su Yuntao no longer had a look of disappointment on her face. Now, there was only an expression of "as expected". She was secretly thinking in her heart: For a village like this to produce one or two useful martial souls, it would take a lot of luck for several lifetimes.

What else could he ask for... I guess the result this year will be the same as in previous years, and he would have come here for nothing. Fortunately, yesterday he did not gain nothing. Not only did he hear a wonderful story, but he also tasted delicious food. It was better to have something interesting to do than to be bored.

There were still two little boys holding hands. Su Yuntao didn't have any particular hope for them. It didn't matter. He guessed that they were just going through the motions. In that case, he would finish quickly and then go to the village to enjoy the beautiful scenery and eat some delicious food.

In the afternoon, he was going to leave here and go to the next village to take the martial spirit test. He would be done with his martial spirit test this year. At this time, the village chief looked at the stone in front of him and said to Afeng, who had just laughed at the stone: "Who of you two will go first?"

Shitou thought for a moment, clenched his fist and said, "I'll go first!"

Shi Tou was thinking that neither of his parents had a martial spirit, so he probably had no hope either. Taking the test now would only make people more disappointed, but at least he had been mentally prepared for the previous few useless martial spirits, so no matter how bad he was, it would not be so hard for people to accept.

If Afeng's martial soul is pretty good, but his own martial soul is extremely poor in the end, it would make him feel even more embarrassed... Afeng naturally has no objection to who comes first and who comes later.

He stood there without moving. Shi Tou was a little nervous. He stared straight at the crystal ball in Su Yuntao's hand and walked towards it step by step with a fearless attitude.

He even swallowed nervously... Lu Yu saw Shi Tou's appearance at the side and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He knew this child. Everyone said that his parents had no martial spirits. This kid was probably the same as his parents.

It's useless to come here, a waste of time... Although Lu Yu disdained this statement, he had to admit that genes are powerful. Just like Tang San's mother is Blue Silver Emperor and his father's martial spirit is Clear Sky Hammer, he will inherit his parents' martial spirits, and his innate martial spirit will start higher than others.

No matter which of these two martial spirits Tang San inherited, his future would have been good. However, as the protagonist, Tang San inherited both of them. This is something that many people envy, and in the entire Douluo Continent, very few people can do this.

Although in Shitou's mind, it seemed like a very long time for him to walk in front of Su Yuntao, in the eyes of everyone, it was just a matter of a moment. Because of what he had observed before, Shitou knew what he should do now.

He stood in front of Su Yuntao, and obediently stretched out his right palm, trying hard to feel the difference in his body. His expression was extremely nervous, and he really hoped that he could have a martial soul, no matter what it was, even if it was just the most ordinary sickle martial soul!

...But after a long time, there was no change on Shi Tou's right hand, which made Su Yuntao a little disappointed. He frowned and was about to end the martial arts awakening ceremony of the boy in front of him, but he found that the boy's right hand began to tremble slightly.

Originally, he wanted to say to Shi Tou - you don't have a martial spirit, you can leave here... But something unexpected happened at this moment. Everyone could see with their own eyes that veins bulged on Shi Tou's forehead, and big beads of sweat flowed out of his forehead.

The expression on his face was extremely distorted, as if he was experiencing something extremely painful, which made Su Yuntao and Lu Yu couldn't help but frown. Old Jack even took two steps forward. How could this happen? Logically speaking, awakening the martial soul was a very easy thing and there would be no danger.

But why is there such a painful expression on Shitou's face... The village chief couldn't help but show worry on his face, and Su Yuntao and Lu Yu naturally understood it. They both said in unison: "This child (Shitou)'s martial spirit has been sealed?"

When the village chief saw Shi Tou's condition, he was very worried. He didn't know what was wrong with this child. Who would have thought that he would hear a new term "Soul Seal". Although he didn't understand what it was, he knew it was not a good thing.

He looked at the stone in the center of the venue with a confused look on his face, not knowing how to react... On the other side, Lu Yu was also very curious. After all, he had been in Douluo Continent for so many years, and he naturally knew that some aristocratic families, due to the fierce competition for heirs, often used some secret means to seal the martial arts spirits of certain children. After being sealed, if there was no special method to help them break the seal.

Once the seal is forcibly opened, it will only put the child in danger, and the child is too young to see what his talent is at all. What if it is a superior martial spirit with innate full soul power, and it is sealed in advance, wouldn’t it cause a huge loss to the family?

Therefore, few people would do this. For example, Zhu Zhuqing's family would only hold a final showdown after the children came of age. The winner would inherit the position of the head of the family, and the loser would either be imprisoned for life or "die"...

That's why Lu Yu was particularly curious. Logically speaking, since Shitou's parents didn't have martial souls, it wouldn't be possible for Shitou to have a martial soul. Or it could be that Shitou just had an ordinary martial soul.

But the current situation shows that Shitou is probably not their biological child. This is very surprising. Who knows which family he belongs to? How could such a small child like him be so fearful to people...

No matter what, the fact that someone took the initiative to seal his martial spirit shows that this child is not ordinary. However, right now, nothing is more important than Shi Tou's life. If he is allowed to fight the seal in his body on his own, because he is still too young, it is easy for him to cause problems by forcibly breaking the seal.

Su Yuntao just watched with a frown and did not want to help. On the one hand, Su Yuntao's ability was limited. After all, he was only a great soul master in his twenties, and his own soul power cultivation was not very high. Forcing himself to help Shi Tou break the seal would be a huge challenge to his own soul power cultivation.

He was just a stranger, not worthy of paying such a huge price for him; secondly, Su Yuntao was also weighing the pros and cons in his heart. When he saw the moment when Shi Tou's martial soul was sealed, he was very surprised, but after the surprise, he was shocked. In other words, the origin of this kid in front of him was not simple, and the family behind him was even more complicated.

He must have a great background, otherwise he wouldn't have known what a spirit seal was. Now he can target such a family and successfully seal the spirit of this child. It shows that there is a lot of trouble behind this child... If I open this kid's spirit now and someone finds out about it in the future, will it cause more trouble?

Although Lu Yu and his friends had been very hospitable recently, Su Yuntao did not think that he would get into such a big trouble just because of the food... Lu Yu understood Su Yuntao's thoughts, but he also understood, because it is human instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm, and Su Yuntao's character has always been like this.

Without saying anything, Lu Yu quickly walked to the side of the stone. Su Yuntao saw him coming over and asked with a puzzled look: "Lu Yu, what are you going to do?"

In fact, when Su Yuntao saw Lu Yu coming, he had some guesses in his mind, but he couldn't understand it. It was obviously a thankless job, and this person was not related to him at all, so why should he go looking for trouble?

So he asked, "Although you have studied in the Soul Master School for a period of time, you are not qualified to know what a martial soul seal is."

"But now that you know this, it means that you study hard in school and are favored by your teachers. You have infinite possibilities for a bright future."
