Su Yuntao, who had been feeling somewhat frustrated, suddenly had his eyes light up.
This was indeed a completely new, never-before-seen martial soul.
He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Can you control it safely now?"
Jiang Chen nodded. "Yes, I can."
After withdrawing the martial soul back into his body, he had already received some information in his mind. He could now freely control his martial soul.
Even the corpse poison that used to leak uncontrollably could now be controlled down to the finest detail, and it would rarely happen again like before.
"Then release your martial soul again and let me see," Su Yuntao said excitedly.
At this moment, he had completely forgotten the pain of his tool being damaged. The whole person was filled with immense excitement.
This was an entirely new martial soul, awakened by his own hands. No matter whether he could recruit Jiang Chen into the Spirit Hall or not, he would receive generous rewards.
As long as he reported Jiang Chen's zombie martial soul to the higher-ups, the Spirit Hall leadership would definitely not forget his contribution. They might even include his name, the name of the discoverer, in the official records, to be passed down forever.
Jiang Chen nodded. With a thought, he easily released his martial soul. This time, no thick black mist appeared. The true appearance of the zombie martial soul was finally revealed before everyone's eyes.
The zombie wore ancient clothing, had an extremely tall and large skeletal frame, and although there were almost no muscles on its body, it looked very burly.
Its black nails were sharp like knife points, and a black, terrifying aura lingered around it. Its face was gaunt, with two sharp fangs protruding, looking horrifying and chilling.
Su Yuntao, Tang San, Tang Hao, and Old Jack all stared with wide eyes, faces full of amazement.
This was actually a humanoid martial soul—they had never even heard of such a thing.
Both Su Yuntao and Tang Hao knew there was a type called Innate Martial Soul, body martial soul, but this kind used a certain part or organ of the human body as the martial soul.
Yet the zombie martial soul in front of them was a complete humanoid figure. Could this be an enhanced version of an Innate Martial Soul?
It was said that Innate Martial Souls were an extremely powerful type. Just how powerful would Jiang Chen's martial soul be?
"Martial Soul Possession!" Jiang Chen shouted in a low voice. The tall zombie standing behind him instantly turned into a streak of black light and merged into his body. His body quickly began to change.
The transformation was the same as when he cultivated before: two fangs grew out, his pupils turned completely black, and his nails became extremely sharp.
This made Jiang Chen secretly breathe a sigh of relief. If he had also turned into a skin-and-bones appearance like that zombie martial soul, he would have wanted to die.
"What are the abilities of your martial soul?" Su Yuntao had already taken out his little notebook, ready to record.
Jiang Chen clenched his fist excitedly and said, "After Martial Soul Possession, my strength, speed, and defense have all been greatly enhanced, and my soul power is also accompanied by extremely intense toxicity."
His soul power originally already possessed domineering poison. After Martial Soul Possession, the toxicity became even more terrifying.
He was afraid that just releasing a trace of poison would instantly cause an adult water buffalo to die violently.
Su Yuntao scribbled rapidly. "Very good. This is a brand-new and powerful martial soul. Next, I'll test your innate soul power for you."
Saying that, he excitedly brought over the crystal ball and handed it to Jiang Chen.
Although he had never awakened such a powerful martial soul before, according to the theoretical knowledge he learned in the Spirit Hall, the more powerful the martial soul, the higher the innate soul power usually was.
For example, the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon martial soul—unless it was a variant—would never have only one or two levels of innate soul power.
Jiang Chen's excitement was no less than Su Yuntao's. He reached out and placed his hand on the crystal ball. Immediately, he felt a powerful suction coming from the crystal ball, and the soul power in his body began surging madly toward it.
Just like what had happened with Tang San earlier, after the crystal ball absorbed the soul power, it instantly erupted with dazzling light. The entire room was bathed in a brilliant blue glow.
"Hahahaha… another case of innate full soul power! This is really too great! I, Su Yuntao, have truly stepped into dog shit luck today!" Su Yuntao laughed wildly, almost crazed. He had really suffered too much.
At this moment, he finally saw the hope of reaching the peak of his life.
"Little friend, are you willing to join the mighty Spirit Hall?" Su Yuntao asked very gently, like a big gray wolf trying to abduct a pure little lamb.
Jiang Chen had already anticipated this scene. He showed a faint smile and said, "Lord Su Yuntao, I currently have no intention of joining the Spirit Hall. I want to go study at the Nuoding Spirit Master Academy."
This was the plan he had already decided on long ago. Although he possessed powerful cultivation methods and talent, he didn't think he would necessarily have the heaven-defying luck of Tang San. After all, it was perfectly normal for geniuses to die halfway.
If he wanted to become a god, staying by the side of the son of destiny, Tang San, was undoubtedly the safest choice. As long as he could last more than ten years, he could steadily obtain a god position.
A method of currying favor without much effort, if he didn't choose it, he would be a fool.
"I suggest you think about it carefully again. You should know that the Spirit Hall is currently the most powerful spirit master organization on the entire Douluo Continent. If you join the Spirit Hall, you will definitely receive the best possible nurturing. With your innate full soul power talent, it is even possible for you to become a Titled Douluo in the future," Su Yuntao persuaded.
He had never been as eager as he was now. If he could pull Jiang Chen into the Spirit Hall, his status would surely rise dramatically. Promotion, salary increase, and the beautiful and moving Sisi… just thinking about it made him excited.
Old Jack's old, dim eyes suddenly burst with terrifying light. He couldn't hold back anymore and rushed straight to Jiang Chen, slapping him on the head and angrily saying:
"You brat, are you stupid? How good would it be to join the Spirit Hall! In a few decades, when you become a Titled Douluo, our Holy Soul Village can be renamed Titled Douluo Village!"
Old Jack blew his beard and glared, looking extremely disappointed and angry.
Jiang Chen was a little stunned. In all these years, he had never seen Old Jack so fierce.
Su Yuntao smiled and looked at Jiang Chen, waiting for his answer. Titled Douluo was the most powerful existence in this world; he didn't believe any child could resist this temptation.
Seeing that Jiang Chen still didn't answer, he continued: "If you join the Spirit Hall, we can take you tomorrow to obtain your first spirit ring and let you become a true spirit master."
Compared to becoming a Titled Douluo, becoming a spirit master was also an enormous temptation for a six-year-old child. Moreover, this was something that could be obtained immediately, unlike the Titled Douluo title, which was just an empty pie in the sky.
Facing the temptation of immediately becoming a spirit master, he didn't believe this child would be moved.
However, Jiang Chen still stubbornly shook his head. "I'm sorry, I still don't want to join the Spirit Hall for the time being."
Su Yuntao was extremely disappointed. It seemed that recruiting Jiang Chen today would be impossible.
He looked at Old Jack, a thought flashing through his mind. It appeared that if he wanted to win over Jiang Chen, he would have to work through Old Jack.
"Alright then, you can go back first. Village Chief Jack, please stay. I'll issue the martial soul certificates for these two children."
Old Jack glared fiercely at Jiang Chen, then turned to Su Yuntao with a face blooming like a chrysanthemum: "Then I'll have to trouble you, Lord Su Yuntao."
