Chapter 2: Testing Innate Soul Power - The Little Witch of Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect - Douluo's spirit bead sword

## Chapter 2: Testing Innate Soul Power - The Little Witch of Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect “Zhen Mo, that's a good name. Come on, let's test your soul power!” Tian Yu eagerly handed over the crystal ball. After Tian Lin retracted his sword, he placed his right hand on it. Instantly, the crystal ball emitted an exceptionally brilliant light, several times stronger than that of the first child. “This... As long as there's any reaction in the crystal ball, it proves the presence of soul power. But this dazzling brilliance... could it be? No, it must be!” Tian Yu was overwhelmed with excitement. “Child, you are... you have innate full soul power!” “Innate full soul power, what is that?” Tian Lin asked, though he already knew the answer. “The strength of a martial soul is related not only to its form but also critically to its innate soul power. The higher the innate soul power, the faster one can cultivate later. Innate full soul power is the highest soul power one can achieve at birth, level ten!” “Child, with innate full soul power and a top-tier tool martial soul, you are a rare genius that appears once in a century. Elder Yin Yang would certainly be delighted to see you.” Tian Yu affectionately patted Tian Lin's head. It wasn't because of anyone else, it was because of Tian Lin himself. Although Tian Yu had surpassed level forty, with Tian Lin's cultivation speed thanks to his innate full soul power, it would only be a few years before he would surpass him. Building good relations with a future top powerhouse was an opportunity not to be missed. The martial soul awakening completed, Tian Yu led the children out of the awakening shrine, where the children's parents and the elderly village chief had been waiting for quite some time. As the doors opened, they eagerly sought out their children, asking all sorts of questions—what their martial soul was, whether they had the potential to become soul masters, and the like. Only the village chief approached Tian Yu, directly asking, “Sir, this year in our village..." Tian Yu interrupted with a wave of his hand, “No need to ask, old village chief, I bring you wonderful news. This year, Seven Treasures Village has two children with soul power. One even has a superior sword martial soul combined with innate full soul power. Your village has hit the jackpot.” “Innate full soul power!!” The old village chief, experienced and knowledgeable, knew exactly what this meant, and he was momentarily rendered speechless by his excitement. Even their village's greatest pride, Yin Yang, when his martial soul evolved into a Thunder Plume Golden Eagle, had only innate level eight soul power. Over the past seventy years, while the village sporadically produced individuals with soul power, it rarely surpassed level four. Now, a full soul power had suddenly appeared, which was hard for the old man to comprehend. “Haha, old village chief, just celebrate properly. I must report back to the sect. This child will surely receive the sect's full support.” Without further ado, Tian Yu spread his wings and flew towards Seven Treasures Mountain, as this was news the sect master needed to know immediately. Meanwhile, at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the awakening of direct disciples' martial souls was also underway. Sect Master Ning Feng Zhi, Sword Douluo Chen Xin, and Bone Douluo Gu Rong—pillars of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect—observed from a high platform, while Elder Yin Yang oversaw the proceedings below. “Ning Tao, martial soul Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, innate soul power level five.” “Ning Hai, martial soul Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, innate soul power level five.” “Ning Que, martial soul Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, innate soul power level six.” These direct disciples naturally possessed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda as their martial soul, but their innate levels varied. Auxiliary-type martial souls are harder to cultivate compared to battle-type ones, and their innate levels generally aren't high. When Ning Feng Zhi awakened, he had an innate level of eight, lauded as a rare talent within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. “Alas! These children... their innate levels aren't high. Who knows if any might become a Soul Sage in the future!” Ning Feng Zhi sighed. Heaven is fair—the auxiliary capabilities of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda are immensely powerful, but it has its flaw, unable to reach the rank of a titled Douluo, capped at Soul Sage. And reaching Soul Sage is the minimum requirement for inheriting the leadership of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. “Don't worry, Feng Zhi. It's not over yet, look, it's Rong Rong's turn!” Sword Douluo suddenly became excited. Bone Douluo also widened his eyes, closely watching the awakening platform. These two titled Douluos, childless and revered, were simultaneously feared and respected by all. Except for one person—Ning Rong Rong. Not only was she not afraid of them, but she frequently mischievously insisted on playing with them. To them, Ning Rong Rong was like a granddaughter, their cherished little darling. Offend them, and it might not be severe, but if you offended this little princess, you’d be minced into pieces by these protective figures. Under their affection, Ning Rong Rong had turned into a little witch with even Ning Feng Zhi struggling to manage her. Fortunately, she was simply headstrong and inherently not bad, leading Ning Feng Zhi to hope for a change in her demeanor over time. “Grandpa Eagle, I don't want them to perform my awakening. Can you do it for me instead? You're so powerful, you will surely help me awaken the strongest Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!” Ning Rong Rong clung to Yin Yang’s arm, pleading coquettishly. As the princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, how could she be treated like an ordinary person, assigned to a soul grandmaster for awakening? Not even a soul king or emperor would suffice—a titled Douluo was the minimum she required. While such a request would seem quite presumptuous, Yin Yang merely smiled and said indulgently, “Alright, I'll personally awaken it for our little princess!” Indeed, this old man was a complete grandchild enthusiast, and Ning Rong Rong's affectionate address of 'grandpa' had already won him over. Yin Yang led Ning Rong Rong to the center and gestured to the previous awakener to stand aside. “Step back, the princess's awakening will be personally handled by me.” “Yes, Elder!” “Come, Rong Rong, stand at the center of the array, calm your mind!” The soul power of a soul emperor was far beyond comparison with that of a soul king. With a simple wave of Yin Yang's hand, the light of the array brilliantly illuminated. A lustrous, radiant pagoda emerged in Ning Rong Rong's hand, predictably, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. Unexpectedly, she tested with an innate soul power of nine, likely the highest innate soul power ever recorded for an auxiliary-type martial soul. “Nine levels—that's my precious Rong Rong for you. When has an auxiliary-type martial soul ever shown such astonishing innate soul power?” Sword Douluo rejoiced, unaware that, in fact, Ning Rong Rong ranked second. Not long ago, somewhere, a food-type martial soul master with innate full soul power had emerged, albeit less well-known. “Innate level nine. If it's Rong Rong, perhaps she can achieve what I've yearned for my entire life—breaking the martial soul limit of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!” Ning Feng Zhi’s greatest aspiration was to see a truly direct line titled Douluo emerge from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Today, he finally saw hope—his daughter, Ning Rong Rong!
