Chapter 2: Strength to Drag a Bull
After successfully Awakening his Spirit, Lu Chen thought the word ’return’ in his mind, and the blue-tinted Blue Silver Grass in his palm was withdrawn back into his body.
Next, Lu Chen stepped out of the Awakening formation, came before Su Yuntao, blinked, and said:
"Grandmaster Su Yuntao, it’s time to test my spirit power!"
Su Yuntao’s face was full of disappointment, and he responded weakly. Draining all of his spirit power had only resulted in the Awakening of a trash Spirit like Blue Silver Grass; his heart was currently in a state of collapse.
Raising the crystal ball like a matter of routine, Su Yuntao held it before Lu Chen and said with utter helplessness:
"Place your hand on it."
Lu Chen followed the instruction and placed his hand on the crystal ball. Instantly, a suction force emanated from the crystal ball, drawing a portion of the spirit power from his body into it.
In an instant, the crystal ball burst with light, causing the group of children to stare wide-eyed, and even Su Yuntao was left dumbfounded.
Another Innate Full Spirit Power!
Su Yuntao’s composure truly broke. What kind of situation was this? A trash Spirit like Blue Silver Grass could actually produce Innate Full Spirit Power, and both Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul possessors were actually Innate Full Spirit Power.
One must know that he possessed the dignified Lone Wolf Spirit, yet after his own Spirit Awakening, his tested spirit power was only at the second rank.
Heaven is unfair!
Su Yuntao shouted inwardly with grief and indignation.
At this moment, Lu Chen felt incredibly fortunate in his heart:
’Fortunately, the natural laws of this Douluo Continent dictate that before obtaining a corresponding spirit ring, even if I possess Rank 30, Rank 40, or even higher spirit power, it will only manifest as Rank 10 before I absorb my first spirit ring.’
’This is for the best. If I were actually measured at Innate Rank 30 or even Rank 40 spirit power, those higher-ups in Spirit Hall would probably drag me off for dissection and research.’
Lu Chen’s belief that he possessed Rank 30 or even Rank 40 spirit power was not wishful thinking, but a conclusion he had reached through careful deduction.
His current physical fitness was extremely powerful. In a fight, four or five adults would be no match for him. When plowing the fields, even the efficiency of the old yellow bull at home could not compare to his.
Without the support of an extremely massive amount of spirit power, it would be impossible for him to develop such a powerful physique at the age of six.
His Golden Finger allowed him to absorb heaven and earth energy just by breathing. From his birth until now, a total of six years had passed.
Lu Chen breathed every single moment, which was equivalent to Cultivating every single moment, and he had been Cultivating for a full six years.
Tang San claimed to have Cultivated the Mysterious Heaven Skill since childhood, but he couldn’t possibly be Cultivating every single moment. On average, being able to Cultivate for four hours a day was already the limit.
Compared to Tang San, Lu Chen’s daily Cultivation time was more than six times longer. If Tang San had Rank 13 spirit power after six years, then his own estimate of Rank 30 or 40 after six years was already a conservative one.
At the same time, Tang San, standing among the group of children, looked at Lu Chen with eyes full of shock. Deep in his gaze, a hint of envy and jealousy emerged that even he hadn’t noticed:
’Is this a true Genius? I know my own situation; my Innate Full Spirit Power was Cultivated through the Mysterious Heaven Skill. Lu Chen, however, doesn’t have the Mysterious Heaven Skill.’
’Lu Chen possesses Innate divine force. I once saw him grab an old yellow bull that was eating crops in the field by the tail and drag it dozens of steps; that old bull had no power to resist at all.’
’I’m so envious. Even with the enhancement of the Mysterious Heaven Skill I’ve Cultivated, I don’t have such terrifying strength.’
On Su Yuntao’s side, after finishing the test of Lu Chen’s spirit power, he quickly hand-wrote a Spirit Certificate and handed it into Lu Chen’s hand:
"Child, take this. This is your Spirit Certificate."
"Sigh! Such a strong body and the talent of Innate Full Spirit Power, yet it’s not a Beast Spirit but the trash Spirit Blue Silver Grass. It’s truly a pity."
While speaking, Su Yuntao packed up his belongings and strode out of the wooden house.
Outside the wooden house!
Seeing Su Yuntao come out, Village Head Old Jack stepped forward with a face full of smiles and spoke in a respectful tone:
"Lord Spirit Master, how are the children of our Saint Spirit Village who Awakened their Spirits this year?"
Su Yuntao shook his head and replied with a face full of helplessness:
"Two children have excellent talent, both with Innate Full Spirit Power, but their Spirits are both the trash Spirit Blue Silver Grass."
"What kind of future can such garbage Spirits have? Even if they absorb spirit rings to become a Spirit Master, they will be the most garbage of Spirit Masters."
After speaking, Su Yuntao headed toward the next village without looking back.
Meanwhile, Old Jack stood dazed on the spot, unable to recover for a long time. Two children had the best talent, yet they possessed the most garbage Spirits.
This gave Old Jack the urge to cough up blood!
Soon, all the children walked out of the wooden house, with Lu Chen and Tang San walking at the very back.
Old Jack looked at Lu Chen and Tang San at the back. His heart stirred, and he hurriedly asked:
"Little Chen, Little San, the Lord Spirit Master just said that two children have excellent talent but both Awakened the most garbage Blue Silver Grass Spirit. He wasn’t talking about you two, was he?"
Lu Chen glanced at Tang San and replied:
"Grandpa Village Head, he was talking about us."
Tang San followed with a nod after Lu Chen finished speaking.
Old Jack felt his vision go dark, once again feeling the urge to cough up blood. The two children he favored most had indeed lived up to expectations by having excellent talent, yet they hadn’t Awakened good Spirits.
Old Jack beat his chest and stamped his feet for a while. Only after a good long moment did he frown and say with a face full of distress:
"Little Chen, Little San, you both possess the talent to become Spirit Masters. Even the most garbage Blue Silver Grass Spirit Master is still a Spirit Master, something us ordinary people cannot compare to."
"Unfortunately, our Saint Spirit Village has only one quota for a Work-Study Student. Between the two of you, only one can use this Work-Study Student quota."
"Come with me. I will discuss it with your parents. We’ll all draw lots together to see who gets to use this Work-Study Student quota."
"As for the other person, we’ll think of other ways. If it really comes down to it, I’ll swallow my pride and ask other villages if they have any vacant Work-Study Student quotas."
Old Jack’s voice was firm. He was determined to support Lu Chen and Tang San’s development; even being the most garbage Blue Silver Grass Spirit Master was better than remaining in the village as an ordinary person.
In the time that followed, Old Jack, Tang San, Lu Chen, and Lu Chen’s parents went to Tang San’s home together.
Lu Chen had both parents, and although they were the most ordinary of farmers, his parents were not like that drunkard Tang Hao.
Lu Chen’s parents had accompanied him to participate in the Spirit Awakening. As for that drunkard Tang Hao, after getting drunk, he was probably still at home snoring away, so the group could only go to his house to discuss.
