Chapter 2 Innate Full Soul Power! A Useless
In an instant, a flash of silver light appeared.
It seems that... all nine silver patterns lit up at the same time?
In that instant, the silver light was so bright it was blinding, and everyone instinctively raised their hands to shield their eyes.
However, the next second...
The light vanished in an instant.
?
Huo Jiang and Huo Qing leaned over to take a look in disbelief, and couldn't help but gasp.
Even Zhu Tao, who had just walked a short distance outside the ancestral hall, turned back.
Impossible, impossible!
Under the intense gaze of the crowd, the bluish-gray cat's-eye stone turned into a pile of dust, scattering tragically across the ground.
This scene is so similar to the crystal ball shattering just now...
Zhu Tao's left hand, which was tucked into the cloth bag, trembled slightly.
At this moment, he was absolutely certain that his crystal ball had not cracked because it had reached the end of its lifespan!
The 'Nine-Patterned Soul Testing Stone' in front of us is a special material used by the Wind Shadow Spirit Cat Clan to test the soul power of their children who have just awakened their martial souls.
However, it can only test soul power below level nine.
Why can the highest level only be measured as level nine?
Because there is no such thing as a level 10!
Let alone the Wind Shadow Cat Clan, even the Netherworld Cat Clan has never produced a child with innate full soul power.
Having innate full soul power is a unique phenomenon in the Douluo Continent.
...
In the Star Luo Empire, only the lineage of the White Tiger Duke produced such a person ten thousand years ago.
Even the most outstanding ancestor of the Netherworld Cat Clan—the one who ultimately became a god—had an innate soul power of only level eight.
What does this tell us?
Zhu Tao tried hard to recall the appearance of the 'giant wind cat' that Huo Ling'er had just awakened—
White fur, thick limbs, stiff beard...
When he recalled the previous conversation between the Huo brothers, Huo Jiang and Huo Qing, he was suddenly jolted.
Could it really be a white tiger?!
Zhu Tao rushed in and grabbed Huo Ling'er's hand, saying urgently:
"Girl, release your martial spirit one more time."
Huo Ling'er was stunned.
When she awakened earlier, she did not turn around to see the martial spirit behind her.
But she felt a surge of wild power within her, almost bursting forth.
But before I could even fully appreciate it, it was gone.
When Zhu Tao told her that her martial spirit was an ordinary wind cat, she didn't really believe it at first.
The moment her martial spirit possessed her, her strongest feeling was clearly...
Ferocious!
Yes, that's right, fierce, violent, and full of murderous intent!
How could that be the kind of feeling that an ordinary wind cat could give her?
But later, when her father said those things to her, she hesitated for a moment and then swallowed back the question in her heart.
She had planned to wait until she got back inside before quietly asking her father for confirmation.
But now that Zhu Tao is making this demand of her, what should she do?
Huo Qing, however, didn't seem worried. He gave Huo Ling'er a reassuring look and gently comforted her:
"Ling'er, concentrate and think about releasing the martial spirit you just used. It's okay."
Huo Ling'er nodded and obediently closed her eyes to concentrate her energy.
Since her father said so, she naturally had no more worries.
My father is a level 60 Soul Emperor.
Although the hereditary Protector of the Wind Shadow was his uncle Huo Jiang, his cultivation level was only level 40.
The little girl didn't understand anything about power or worldly wisdom; all she knew was that her father was the most powerful.
As the will moved, a white light slowly appeared behind him...
"Aww—"
Everyone present trembled violently.
The three adults all looked astonished, staring in disbelief at the phantom behind Huo Ling'er.
The phantom with snow-white fur stood tall and proud, reflecting the glow of the cat totem on the stone pillar.
And those four children...
They were all so frightened by the tiger's roar that they fell to the ground with a thud.
Even the two children who had awakened as ordinary wind cats lay prostrate on the ground, unable to get up again.
"It's the White Tiger!"
Huo Jiang subconsciously looked at Huo Qing, his tightly furrowed brows relaxing slightly, and he suddenly realized,
"Second brother, your sister-in-law's cultivation level was only level 20 back then, but I never expected that Ling'er would still inherit her martial spirit."
"As expected of the number one martial soul in the Star Luo Kingdom, our Wind Shadow Spirit Cat's quality is simply inferior!"
His words made it sound like deep brotherly affection, but his next sentence immediately revealed his true intentions.
"The children of the White Tiger family should naturally be sent back to the White Tiger Duke's mansion. If anything goes wrong, our Wind Shadow Spirit Cat family cannot bear the responsibility."
Huo Qing did not respond to him.
He just stared at the phantom behind Huo Ling'er, his brows furrowing deeply.
Its long, snow-white fur radiated a fierce aura, and its heterochromatic eyes, one blue and one purple, were cold and ruthless.
Strangely, it had an extra pale gold stripe on its forehead compared to ordinary white tigers.
What is that?
Huo Qing's eyes narrowed.
At this moment, Zhu Tao finally got a clear look.
"Really?! It's a white...white tiger?!"
His voice sounded like someone was choking him.
He stared intently at the illusory figure, regretting how he had misjudged the situation!
Evil-Eyed White Tiger, the top-tier beast spirit of the Star Luo Empire!
He had seen it before, but he never expected to encounter the White Tiger Martial Soul when the Spirit Cat Clan was awakening the Martial Soul for their child.
He had a moment of doubt when Huo Jiang mentioned Dai Wan.
But that thought was immediately dismissed by myself.
Dai Wan herself struggles to cultivate, so how could she possibly pass on her martial spirit to the next generation?
What's more, Huo Ling'er is a girl!
However, Huo Ling'er happened to inherit her White Tiger Martial Soul, and...
etc!
No, that's not right!!
Zhu Tao and Huo Jiang realized something almost simultaneously, their eyes fixed on the pile of cat's-eye stone powder, and they exclaimed in shock:
"Innate full soul power?!"
How is that possible?
but...
Besides having innate full soul power, what else could explain the 'Nine-Patterned Soul Testing Stone' shattering inexplicably?
The nine spiritual runes correspond to the ninth level of soul power.
Even a level 10 person with innate full soul power shouldn't be able to turn a soul-testing stone into dust instantly!
Huo Qing stood there, the gentle expression on his face gradually freezing.
His fingertips dug into his palms inside his sleeve, yet he felt no pain whatsoever.
The person who could least believe what was happening was him!
He originally thought that Huo Ling'er was just there to go through the motions during this martial soul awakening.
He even worried that she might awaken the most ordinary, useless soul, Blue Silver Grass.
Therefore, when he heard Zhu Tao say that she had awakened the 'Ordinary Wind Cat' martial soul, a huge weight was lifted off his shoulders.
Because... this secret is known only to him.
This secret, buried in his heart for six years, he would never tell anyone—
Huo Ling'er is not his biological daughter with Dai Wan.
