Chapter 4: Awakening 2 (Tang san awakening)
Every speck of the golden light came fluttering up from the black stones, further entering the body of the boy.
The boy's body began to lightly tremble, not knowing whether to shout or remain quiet.
"Extend your right hand."
Su Yuntao's two moss green eyes stared fixedly at the boy, majestically commanding.
The boy extended his right hand with a start, then paused. All the light specks surged out, instantly a sickle appeared in his hand.
It would appear, that sickle wasn't any trick of the light, and rather it truly existed.
Su Yuntao creased his brow,
"It's a Tool Spirit. Can a sickle be regarded as a weapon? It ought to with effort."
The golden light gradually disappeared. The boy, somewhat amazed, looked at the not particularly small sickle in his hand, rather at a loss.
Su Yuntao said:
"Your spirit is Sickle, a Tool Spirit. Come, let me test if you have spirit power. If you possess spirit power, even a tool spirit can undergo Battle Spirit Cultivation. After all, a sickle certainly has potential for attack."
"Great-, great teacher, what should I do?"
The boy timidly asked.
Su Yuntao coolly said:
"Intentionally recall your spirit. From now try to remember the time you employed it and use that thought to call it out."
The boy tried a long time, just to recall the sickle. Su Yuntao's hands held the blue crystal ball in front of him, motioning him to place his right hand on it.
The boy's immature little hand and Su Yuntao's wolf claws above and below the crystal ball respectively, there was a clear contrast.
A moment later, Su Yuntao somewhat dejectedly said:
"No spirit power. You can't become a Spirit Master. For now, step aside.
Similar scenes continued to play out, and one after another five children had their spirits awakened. Their spirits were all a few pickaxes, sickles and such farm tools. In succession no Beast Spirit appeared, and as for spirit power, all were judged by Su Yuntao to be 'nil'.
When the seventh child's turn came, this was also the second last one ahead of Feng Xuan and Tang san.
After sustained use of spirit power, Su Yuntao seemed to already be rather exhausted, but he still intended to help all eight children complete the awakening process.
Golden flecks of light gathered, and this once, finally it was no longer a farm tool, and something different appeared. A small stem of light blue grass appeared in this girl's palm, softly fluttering to and fro.
Feng Xuan vaguely felt that he had himself seen this blue little grass before. Very quickly, the thought came to him; this grass was known as blue silver grass. It showed up everywhere in the village. Resembling his original world's green grass, it was just as widespread, except its vitality was comparatively even more tenacious. It didn't really have any other function. Only because the girl was covered in a layer of pale golden light, he did not recognize it at first. He also known that this is soul sprit of Tang san.
Even though it wasn't a farm tool, the disappointment in Su Yuntao's eyes was even more evident,
"It's a useless spirit. It doesn't have potential for attack, doesn't have defensive power, and doesn't have assisting ability. Blue silver grass is also considered as the standard of useless spirits."
While speaking, he held out the blue crystal ball to the girl in accordance with procedure, and just like he predicted, like before no spirit power appeared.
At long last it was Tang san's turn, Su Yuntao didn't have to speak, he already stepped ahead to stand in the centre of the six pitch black stones.
In pace with Su Yuntao's six streams of spirit power pouring into them, the pale golden light once more shone up brightly. Warmth, this was Feng Xuan's first sensation, as if his whole body was wrapped up inside a nice and warm world, unspeakably comfortable. No wonder those children before could smooth their emotions when wrapped up in the light.
Su Yuntao's eyes abruptly shone, because within that golden light, there appeared so many golden flecks that it was even more than what all the previous children possessed together. He faintly sensed, as if a correspondingly powerful spirit would appear. Excitement showed in his manner.
Speaking of those Spirit Hall attendants responsible for ordinary people's spirit awakening, if they could awaken a potentially outstanding child, then bring him to Spirit Hall, they could acquire many first class benefits. With regard to getting promoted it was enormously advantageous.
But very quickly Su Yuntao lost heart.
Tang San subconsciously lifted his right hand, he saw something blue. This type of blue had already appeared twice at the village's Spirit Hall that day.
Blue silver grass, exactly identical to the previous girl's blue silver grass. The standard for useless spirits.
Su Yuntao had no choice but to say:
"Again a useless spirit, it seems. Holy Spirit village this time was again a waste of time. Ok, children, you can leave."
The previously great quantity of golden flecks of light that appeared, at first gave him a great deal of expectations, but when finally unexpectedly it was merely blue silver grass, the sense of disparity caused Su Yuntao to feel somewhat in a bad mood.
"Uncle, you still have not let me undergo spirit power test, right."
Tang San saw Su Yuntao already wanted to pack up that blue crystal ball, and hurriedly reminded him.
Su Yuntao said without looking back:
"No need to test. Blue silver grass, for this useless spirit I still have never seen one instance where spirit power appeared."
"Let me give it a try, uncle."
Tang San persistently said. When the golden light brought the warm feeling inside him, it produced a strange sensation, as if a great door opened and caused a subtle change in his Mysterious Heaven skill. At the same time, he also very much wanted to know, what the actual difference was between his inner strength and this world's spirit.
Su Yuntao was dumbfounded all of a sudden, turning around, to Tang San's calm and rather steadfast gaze. In his heart musing, this child was seemingly out of the ordinary.
