Time was like a song, life was like a tide. With a heart that follows fate, you will be more free and easy; With a normal heart, you will be more calm; With a compassionate heart, you will accumulate more good; With a grateful heart, you will be happier; With a heart of karma, you will be more sensible; With a forbearing heart, you will be happier; With a heart of cultivation, you will be wiser; With a self-aware heart, you will be more clear-headed.
Dragon Emperor Douluo, Tang Lingluo's famous quote.
—————————————————————————————————————————
Countless blue dots of light gathered from all directions and silently drilled into his body, soaking everything.
Tang Lingluo felt as if he was immersed in a blue ocean. Countless tiny voices were calling out to him and embracing him.
The light unique to the stars seemed to fill every corner of his body, and the warm current formed by the soul power in his dantian also spread out.
In Tang Lingluo's perception, everything about him seemed to have turned blue, a strange blue. Every corner of his body was filled with the light of the stars.
On his forehead, a faint blue light pattern appeared. It extended downwards in a web-like manner, spreading to his entire body before slowly retracting.
Sitting there, he was like a glowing body, occasionally emitting a faint blue, and occasionally emitting a faint purple-gold.
Early morning.
" Luoluo…" Lang Yue's anxious voice echoed on the street.
Sitting cross-legged on the flower. In the garden, Tang Lingluo's body moved as he slowly woke up from his meditation. The dew stained his clothes, but at this moment, he felt an indescribable sense of penetrability.
" Ling Luo…" Lang Yue's voice rang out clearly.
"Mom, we're here." " Yes!" Tang Lingluo quickly agreed loudly. He got up from the lawn and ran out.
Tang Lingluo's body seemed to have become lighter as he ran while calling for his mother.
"Child, why did you run out? I was so anxious.”Lang Yue finally heaved a sigh of relief when she saw her son.
"Mom, I was wrong. I'm at Xiaohua. My soul power seems to have improved.”Although Tang Lingluo was not sure, the changes in his body and his senses told him that his soul power must have improved. After all, he was born with full soul power. After three years of cultivation, his soul power had almost completely turned into liquid.
Lang Yue was stunned. She looked down at her son and saw that Tang Lingluo was already as tall as her shoulders. Although she was a little stinky, her skin was smooth and her big eyes were bright.
"Your safety is the most important thing to me. Let's go home. Mommy will make breakfast for you.”Lang Yue kissed her sons 'foreheads before pulling them home.
"You broke through?" When Tang Ziran learned that his son had a chance of breaking through, he was very happy. "Since you feel that you have broken through, go to the academy today to test it. Daddy will take you to buy spirit souls tomorrow.”
"Long live Daddy!" Tang Wulin shouted excitedly.
"What's wrong?" Lang Yue pulled Tang Lingluo into the house and heard Tang Wulin's excited voice.
" Big brother, I've broken through to level ten!" said Tang Wulin excitedly.
"En! It's good that you've broken through. Let's go buy a spirit soul tomorrow.”Tang Lingluo was slightly surprised, but he smiled and said,"
"Na 'er, what's wrong? Aren't you happy for your brother?" Tang Lingluo looked at Tang Wulin who was jumping for joy at the side. He suddenly realized that Na 'er seemed to be a little different today. Usually, when breakfast was ready, she would have already started eating. However, today, she sat there in a daze. Her excitement did not pass on to her.
"What? I'm fine! Big brother, congratulations." Na 'er smiled sweetly before starting to eat breakfast.
Tang Lingluo thought that she was upset because she did not have a martial soul, so he did not ask further.
Tang Wulin's guess was proven correct. When he arrived at the academy, he told Lin Ximeng about his feelings and conducted a soul power test under her guidance. The apparatus showed that he was indeed rank-10. He could break through even in his sleep. F * ck, he was simply divine!
A soul master's cultivation required obtaining a soul ring for every tenth rank to undergo a breakthrough in order to continue increasing soul power. Soul rings could be obtained by killing soul beasts. However, soul beasts were rare now, so most people chose spirit souls. It was a spirit soul produced by the Spirit Pagoda.
Tang Wulin became the seventh person in the class to complete a breakthrough. Crossing the threshold of rank-10 was equivalent to him becoming a true soul master. He could finally be considered to have officially embarked on this path.
"Tang Wulin, you need to get your family to bring you to the Spirit Pagoda to purchase a spirit soul as soon as possible. An official soul master would receive a subsidy of one thousand federal coins every month. It's enough for you to study in an intermediate academy.”Lin Ximeng warned.
"Teacher Lin, I've already saved enough money to buy a spirit soul. I'll go tomorrow." Tang Wulin nodded excitedly.”
Lin Ximeng smiled and nodded." Alright, I'll apply for leave for you tomorrow." I wish you a satisfactory spirit soul.”
"Thank you, teacher."
Moreover, the intermediate academy itself was compulsory education. The monthly soul master subsidy of one thousand yuan was enough for his daily expenses. If he went to the intermediate academy, he would have to leave Glorybound City. With the subsidy, he would not need his parents to subsidize him. It was said that if he could cultivate to a higher level Spirit Grandmaster, the subsidy would be even more.
Tang Wulin was in a great mood as he walked step by step on his path of hope.
If it were any other child, they might not be able to control their emotions. However, after three years of forging, his mentality was much more stable. In the evening, he went to Mang Tian's workshop to complete his forging mission before returning home.
Tang Ziran was informed by the academy at once that he would be taking leave the next day to bring Tang Lingluo and Tang Wulin to choose their spirit souls. Lang Yue had wanted to take a leave of absence as well, but she was too busy with work to be approved.
"Na 'er, why are you in a daze today?”Tang Lingluo looked at Na 'er, who was sitting beside him, in confusion. "Don't worry, even though you don't have a spirit, big brother will protect you. I'll protect you for the rest of your life, okay?" Tang Ling and Luo Mo. He touched her head.
Na 'er raised her head to look at her, and her clear purple eyes revealed a strange luster." Older Brother, can you accompany me to the beach to play for a while after dinner?”
Tang Lingluo turned to look at Tang Ziran.
"Go, but come back early.”Tang Ziran said with a smile.
"Brother, you guys go ahead. I'll meditate at home.”said Tang Wulin with a smile.
Glorybound City was called a city, but in reality, it was just a relatively large village without any city walls. The commoner district where Tang Ling and the Luo family lived was very close to the seaside.
After leaving the house and walking for more than ten minutes, they could see the beach.
The beach here was not considered beautiful. There was no fine sand, but more gravel and some dead shells. Legend had it that this was because humans had hunted the soul beasts in the sea too severely, which had aroused the wrath of nature.
The moonlight tonight was as beautiful as yesterday. The bright moonlight was as white as snow, and the dazzling stars were like gems embedded in the sky, competing with the moon.
The sea reflected the light of the stars and moon in the sky, and the waves surged. The sound of the waves and the chirping of the seagulls added endless vitality to this starry sea.
Na 'er faced the sea and looked up at the starry sky." Older Brother, there are so many stars today!”
"Yeah!" Tang Lingluo laughed. Perhaps they're all here to congratulate me on becoming a Spirit Master. Na 'er, are you sad because you can't become a soul master?”
Na 'er shook her head." No." She was silent for a moment before she turned around and looked into Tang Lingluo's golden eyes." Brother, if I leave one day, will you miss me?”
"If I leave one day, will you miss me?”Na 'er raised her head, and her pretty little face seemed to glow even more under the moonlight.
Tang Lingluo was stunned." Why do you want to leave?”
"I'm just saying if." Na 'er pouted.”
" Of course I do," Tang Lingluo said with a smile." I really, really do." You're my only sister. Eh, Na 'er, you seem to have grown taller. It's almost up to my nose."
"I'll miss you too. I really, really miss you." Na 'er replied, her large purple eyes clouded over with a layer of mist.
Tang Lingluo put his arm around her shoulder." If we're together every day, we won't miss each other." I'll discuss it with Dad and Mom later. When I get into an intermediate college, you'll come to study in the same city as me next year. Brother will always protect you well.”
Na 'er did not say anything. Her purple eyes were filled with confusion as she leaned her head on Tang Lingluo's shoulder.
Early morning.
Tang Lingluo and Tang Wulin woke up especially early today. Tang Wulin even ate less than usual for breakfast. Tang Ziran could not help but laugh when he saw the eager glint in Tang Wulin's eyes."You finally lost your cool? Don't be anxious, we're early. The Spirit Pagoda hasn't opened yet.”
To Tang Lingluo and Tang Wulin, today was an especially important day. They were going to purchase spirit souls.
"Dad, what kind of spirit soul do you think I can buy?”No matter what, Tang Wulin was still a nine-year-old child. He had been working hard for this day. Now that it was finally the day of his harvest, how could he remain calm?
Tang Ziran smiled faintly." How would I know? However, no matter what kind of spirit soul you obtain, you'll be able to officially advance from a Soul Warrior to a one-ringed Soul Master. You'll be a true Soul Master then." From then on, the gap between them and ordinary people was widened.”
"Yes." Tang Wulin nodded excitedly, but he ignored some of the other things in his father's tone.
Na 'er stood at the door as she watched Tang Wulin impatiently pull his father and Tang Lingluo out of the house. She watched as they left. Her beautiful big eyes revealed a perplexed expression once again. She frowned slightly as if she was trying hard to think of something.
"Dad, brother, hurry up.”Tang Wulin skipped ahead of them. He turned around from time to time to urge his father and brother.
Tang Ziran could not help but shake his head helplessly. A hint of worry appeared in the depths of his eyes. It was not that easy to obtain a suitable spirit soul! It was not guaranteed that he would be able to buy something suitable for himself.
The Spirit Pagoda's organization was spread across the continent. It was not only on the Douluo Continent, but also on the other two continents that had been discovered over the past several thousand years.
Ten thousand years ago, the remnants of the Heaven Dou Empire that had been defeated by the Sun Moon Empire at that time brought the remnants of their army out to sea. After going through hardships and dangers, they discovered a vast continent. There were also native humans there, but their development was far inferior to the Douluo Continent. They occupied it and named it the Heaven Dou Continent.
There was a conflict between the Sun Moon Empire and the Star Luo Empire. As the Sun Moon Empire developed rapidly, the Star Luo Empire gradually declined. However, they had taken a different path and researched deeply into the ocean. After that, the Star Luo Empire quietly occupied the continent and moved the entire country there. They took a large amount of resources with them and named the continent the Star Luo Continent. The Star Luo Empire later changed to a federal system and was named the Star Luo Federation.
The Sun Moon Empire unified the Douluo Continent and was later renamed the Sun Moon Federation.
The Spirit Pagoda had a history of ten thousand years. Due to their importance to soul masters and their epoch-making research of man-made spirit souls, their status had risen with the tide. They had spread across the three continents and become one of the most powerful forces.
Glorybound City also had a Spirit Pagoda branch. It was located in the center of the city and was a tower-like building that was three stories high. This was the lowest level Spirit Pagoda branch. The Spirit Pagoda in a medium-sized city would be seven stories high while the Spirit Pagoda in a large city would be thirteen stories high. On the other hand, the Spirit Pagoda's headquarters was located in Shrek City. After years of renovation, it had a total of eighty-one floors and was known as the most magnificent building on the Douluo Continent.
To Tang Wulin, the three-story Spirit Pagoda before him was already the holy land of his dreams. The Spirit Pagoda was also the largest building in Glorybound City. Everyone knew its location, but very few people had actually entered it.
When they arrived, the Spirit Pagoda's main entrance was already wide open, but there was not a single person around. After all, this was a place only Spirit Masters would come to. In a small place like Glorybound City, the number of Spirit Masters could be counted on one hand.
Tang Ziran led the two brothers into the Spirit Pagoda. Tang Wulin's gaze was constantly scanning his surroundings. He was extremely curious about this legendary place.
The Spirit Pagoda had an octagonal structure with three floors, four sides, and eight sides. The interior was extremely spacious. The floor was paved with marble with the Spirit Pagoda's insignia. The hall was spacious. There was a circle of doors that led to an unknown place. In front of it was a place that looked like a counter, and behind it sat a Spirit Master in a gray robe.
When he saw them, the Spirit Master had already stood up. His gaze landed on Tang Ziran." Hello, what's the matter?”
"Greetings, Lord Spirit Master. I'm here to purchase spirit souls for my sons. Their martial souls are already rank-10." Tang Ziran hastily replied respectfully.”
The spirit master's enthusiasm immediately faded a little when he heard Tang Ziran's words. It was very obvious that Tang Ziran wasn't a soul master.
"Did you bring enough money?" He asked indifferently.
"I've brought enough, I've brought enough," Tang Wulin said.”
"What grade of spirit soul do you want to purchase?" the Spirit Master asked.”
Tang Ziran was slightly embarrassed as he said,"Lord Spirit Master, we don't really understand these things. Could we trouble you to explain them to us?”
"Why didn't you ask around before coming?" the Spirit Master asked impatiently. In a small place like Glorybound City, our Spirit Pagoda only provides three ways to purchase spirit souls. A ten-year white spirit soul, a hundred-year yellow spirit soul. Colored spirit souls and randomly drawn spirit souls.”
"There are seventy-three choices for a ten-year white spirit soul. There were eleven types of lustful spirit souls to choose from. The price of a white spirit soul was 70,000. The price of a lustful spirit soul is one million. Which one do you want to buy?”
Tang Wulin was stunned when he heard his words. He cried out involuntarily,"Lord Spirit Master, aren't spirit souls worth thirty thousand? How, how could it be…"
