When Aos Qin heard that the visitor was indeed Flander, the same soul master from his memories of Shrek Academy, his expression became slightly awkward.
Is this really how the story goes? A Grand Soul Master coming here just to earn a commission for awakening martial souls? Has Shrek Academy really become this poor?
Honestly, as he followed Flander into the stone-built Martial Soul Hall, Aos Qin had a head full of questions, and a flood of sarcastic remarks formed in his mind.
Fortunately, the upcoming Martial Soul Awakening ceremony brought Aos Qin's wandering thoughts to a halt.
Flander didn't appear to carry a backpack, yet with a wave of his hand, six black circular stones appeared on the ground, forming a standard hexagon.
Aos Qin guessed that Flander must have a storage soul tool, since even a level 29 master could have one. Flander, after all, was a Grand Soul Master above level 75.
Although admittedly wealthy or not, such a tool was incredibly convenient — a must-have for daily life and travel.
Aos Qin admitted he was envious. If Cloud Copper weren't unsuitable for a storage soul tool's core formation, he might have reconsidered his plan.
Still, he resolved that once he saved enough money, his second soul tool would definitely be a storage soul tool, since opportunities to use combat-oriented soul tools at the academy were rare.
After reflecting, Aos Qin focused on Flander again. Flander had already guided the first child to stand in the hexagonal awakening formation made of six black stones.
He didn't even need to manifest a martial soul — just a wave of his hand, and six streams of soul power flowed into the black stones on the ground.
As a golden light gradually rose, forming a semicircular protective barrier around the child, Aos Qin couldn't help but marvel at the strength of a Grand Soul Master.
Flander's effortless demeanor was far superior to Su Yuntao, the guide who awakened Tang San.
Observing closely, Aos Qin noticed golden light particles continuously flowing from the barrier into the child. From the child's expression, it was clear he was enjoying it.
After about ten seconds, the light gradually faded. On the child's raised right hand floated a golden wheat stalk — apparently, his martial soul was wheat.
Seeing this, Flander spoke: "Alright, child, your martial soul is wheat. Now try to retract it using your mind. Then we'll test your soul power."
After about three breaths, the child retracted his wheat martial soul and took the soul power testing crystal Flander handed him. Unfortunately, the crystal didn't react — he was destined not to become a soul master.
Flander comforted the obviously disappointed child slightly before continuing his work.
This year, the village had only eight children of awakening age. Oscar and Aos Qin, being the tallest, stood at the back and witnessed the awakening of the six before them.
Unfortunately, none of them had soul power. Judging from Flander's expression, this was normal.
Finally, it was Oscar's turn. The light barrier rose and fell. Aos Qin noticed that the barrier lasted longer and appeared brighter for his brother.
He glanced at Flander, who seemed somewhat intrigued by the scene.
As expected, when the light barrier fully dissipated, Oscar's raised right hand held a floating sausage. Retracting his martial soul, the soul power test stunned everyone — innate full soul power at level ten.
Seeing the crystal ball emit dazzling light, Aos Qin couldn't help but be amazed.
The scene was beautiful and overwhelming. Oscar, the protagonist of this event, seemed stunned by the sudden good news, frozen in place.
Aos Qin noticed that Flander seemed like he wanted to say something to Oscar but, seeing Aos Qin, Oscar's twin, waited expectantly and restrained himself.
After congratulating Oscar briefly and explaining the concept of innate full soul power, Flander retracted the crystal ball and had Oscar step aside to wait.
At this moment, Oscar remembered his younger brother, whose martial soul had yet to awaken.
Looking at Aos Qin, his eyes were filled with anticipation but also anxiety. As twins, the brothers had always gotten along very well, sharing a room since birth and doing almost everything together.
Although Aos Qin often teased him and forced him to exercise early every day, their bond was undeniable.
Oscar didn't realize that, unconsciously, he had grown accustomed to consulting his obedient and intelligent brother. Now, he worried whether his brother could awaken soul power like him.
Aos Qin didn't give Oscar much time to dwell on it and, without Flander's prompting, stepped into the hexagon and stood properly.
He wasn't concerned about soul power; he was only curious about what his martial soul would be.
As the light barrier rose, Aos Qin felt as if he returned to a fetal state. The warm, comfortable feeling relaxed his entire body.
Suddenly, a strange force surged through his limbs and gathered in his right arm. From his palm, a soft bread holding a large steak floated.
"Isn't this… a hamburger?" Aos Qin thought — his first reaction to seeing his martial soul.
Looking up, the light barrier had disappeared completely, and his gaze met Flander's.
"Alright, child, retract your martial soul. We'll test your soul power now."
At Flander's words, Aos Qin retracted his martial soul and took the crystal ball.
Before he could react, the soul power generated by his Yunhai Technique coursing through his body surged into the crystal ball like unleashed water.
Fortunately, it only flowed through once and returned to his body.
In an instant, the crystal ball shone brilliantly, just like Oscar's.
Although he had expected it, Aos Qin was still extremely excited, a beautiful smile spreading across his face.
"Finally, I can personally witness the wonders and grandeur of Douluo Continent," he thought.
Seeing another child with innate full soul power before him, Flander couldn't help but exclaim "Good" three times before composing himself, taking back the crystal ball, and leading everyone out of the Martial Soul Hall.
Outside, the village chief and parents eagerly waited. Seeing everyone come out, parents immediately sought their children while the chief approached Flander.
Obkin and Aubert quickly pulled Oscar and Aos Qin close, looking eager but hesitant to speak.
Aos Qin revealed his martial soul first — a large hamburger floating above his raised right hand. Oscar then showed his floating sausage martial soul.
The brothers simultaneously said: "We awakened soul power, and it's level-ten innate full soul power!" They exchanged a glance and added, "Synchronized again."
Aos Qin had first noticed this ability to sense each other's thoughts at age three. As twins, sometimes they could reach this mental resonance.
Aos Qin keenly felt that this connection had strengthened, though he wasn't entirely certain — some sensations are hard to measure.
Hearing their deliberately quiet yet firm and excited voices, Obkin jumped up.
Before he could shout, Aubert restrained him. Observing his older brother's gaze sweeping the families whose moods had dropped, Obkin realized that the situation didn't call for showing too much excitement. The sons had deliberately kept their voices low.
Just as he prepared to celebrate at home with his brother and sons, the village chief stopped them and led them back into the Martial Soul Hall.
Inside, Flander awaited them.
Obkin and Aubert thanked Flander, who smiled and said he had done nothing; awakening innate full soul power was due entirely to Oscar and Aos Qin's talent and luck.
After pleasantries, Flander got serious and explained his purpose.
After a wave of restrained soul power, a pair of massive eagle wings spread from his back. His hands transformed into claws, and seven soul rings — yellow, purple, and black in perfect proportion — floated around him.
Even with his aura restrained, the pressure of a Grand Soul Master made the five people present, including the village chief, instinctively release their martial souls.
Fortunately, they quickly realized it was inappropriate and retracted them.
Flander didn't mind and said: "I am Flander, a level 76 agile-attack type Cat-Eagle Grand Soul Master.
I run a soul master academy south of Soto City. These two children's talents meet our enrollment requirements.
I can waive their first-year tuition and ensure that all soul rings used during their study are optimally proportioned.
Would you like to send your children to my academy?"
