Equally astonished was Edward Collins. Just as he thought this final soul power test in Saint Soul Village was merely a formality, suddenly, the blue crystal ball in his hand lit up. The dazzling blue light spread instantly from a single point, and in the blink of an eye, the crystal ball shone like a brilliant gemstone. A faint blue halo radiated outward, indescribably captivating.

According to the traditional test, as long as the crystal ball shows even the slightest response, even a single glimmer, it proves that the person being tested possesses soul power. But now, with such a dazzling light shining from the blue crystal ball, there was only one explanation.

“My god, it’s actually innate full soul power.” Green light once again radiated from Edward Collins, and the crystal ball bounced William Carter’s palm away. At this moment, the look in his eyes as he gazed at the boy before him had completely changed. It was as if he were looking at a monster.

William Carter naturally noticed that his test was different from the other children’s and asked in confusion, “Uncle, what is innate full soul power?”

Edward Collins stared at him blankly and subconsciously explained, “When everyone awakens their martial soul, aside from the form of the martial soul determining its strength, the amount of soul power is also crucial. Most people have no soul power when their martial soul awakens, just like those children before. They are destined never to become soul masters in their lifetime. But as long as there is any soul power, even just a trace, it can be cultivated through meditation. At the time of martial soul awakening, the amount of soul power is extremely important, as it determines the starting point for a soul master’s cultivation. The higher the innate soul power, the faster the cultivation speed later on. At the same time, because the starting point is higher, you naturally get ahead of others. So-called innate full soul power means reaching the highest possible soul power at the time of martial soul awakening.”

“The highest soul power?” William Carter looked at Edward Collins, his mind racing. He didn’t know what his soul power was like, but he was certain that the blue crystal ball used for testing had absorbed his Xuantian Skill internal energy. Could it be that his internal energy had become soul power in this world?

Perhaps because William Carter’s innate full soul power had shocked Edward Collins so much, he explained patiently, “Our martial soul levels are like this: every ten levels is a title. As long as your martial soul awakens, you are automatically called a soul scholar. Of course, that’s just a level one soul scholar. The strength of your martial soul power determines your level. So-called innate full soul power means that after awakening, your soul power reaches the highest innate level of ten. I’ve never met anyone with innate full soul power before. When I awakened, I only had level two soul power.”

William Carter had already regained his composure. Having finally found a real soul master, he naturally wouldn’t let the opportunity slip by and hurriedly asked his question, “Is innate martial soul power only able to reach level ten? Can it not go any higher?”

Edward Collins withdrew the green light from his body and retracted his martial soul possession. “Of course not. It’s not so easy to increase a soul master’s strength. Every time you cross a title, not only must your martial soul power reach the peak of the previous title, but you also need to obtain a soul ring. Without a soul ring, no matter how hard you cultivate, you can’t enter the next title. For example, in your case, since you’ve already reached innate full soul power, if you want to continue increasing your soul power, it’s not just about meditation anymore—you must first obtain a soul ring. Only after entering the next level can you continue cultivating.”

William Carter suddenly understood. “A soul ring—is that the halo you had on your body just now? You’re level twenty-six, so you have two soul rings.”

Edward Collins nodded and said, “Exactly. Your situation is very special. Innate full soul power is a genius seen only once in a hundred years. Unfortunately, it’s such a pity. It turns out to be a useless martial soul. Even if your martial soul were just a farm tool, it would be much stronger than the useless martial soul Blue Silver Grass. If that were the case, I could have…”

He didn’t finish his sentence, but William Carter vaguely understood what he meant. At this moment, it was as if the veil over his heart had been lifted.

William Carter had always been a thoughtful person, both in his previous life and this one. According to what Edward Collins said, if soul power was truly connected to his internal energy, then the internal energy he cultivated after coming to this world had become soul power. The reason his Xuantian Skill couldn’t reach the second level was because of the so-called soul ring. In other words, if he wanted to improve further, he had to obtain a soul ring like a soul master. But what exactly was a soul ring?

Just as William Carter was about to continue asking, Edward Collins had already picked up his bag and walked outside.

“Old Jack.”

The door opened, and Old Jack greeted Edward Collins with a nervous expression. “Master, how is it? Is there any chance that any of the children in our village this year can become soul masters?”

Edward Collins looked at him, sighed, and said, “There is one, but it’s a pity.”

A look of suspicion and uncertainty flashed in Jack’s eyes as he probed, “Master, then who is it…”

Edward Collins said, “Among the eight children this year, only one possesses soul power, and it’s even innate full soul power. Unfortunately, his martial soul is Blue Silver Grass. Do you understand?”
