Chapter 9 God-Level Martial Soul?
Black Tower, born in the slums, lost both her parents at a young age and has lived alone ever since. After accidentally witnessing a forging process, she developed a strong interest in it and often practiced using leftover forging materials.
Although she possessed exceptional talent, she never displayed it to anyone until she met Mu Chen, the master craftsman, who took her home…
This is the information Yuan Bao'er obtained from Black Tower. A pitiful child instantly overwhelmed Yuan Bao'er, who also had a child, with maternal love.
"I've decided! From now on, Little Black Tower is my daughter! Who agrees? Who disagrees?"
"Bao'er's mother is right!"
Looking at the two figures, one big and one small, standing with their hands on their hips and heads held high, Mu Chen and Mu Xi fell silent, a hint of inexplicable confusion in their expressions.
How long has it been? How did their relationship become so close?
However, no one objected, after all, Yuan Bao'er was the highest-ranking person in the family.
Mu Chen, he was afraid of his wife, at least he wasn't forced to kneel on a washboard.
As for Mu Xi, how could a little girl like her possibly compete with her own mother?
Aside from not daring to, they had no reason to refuse. Mu Xi's interest was forging, and the fact that Hei Ta was valued by her father meant she had considerable talent; the two must have had plenty to talk about.
Mu Chen had already planned to take on apprentices, and Yuan Bao'er's ability to turn that into taking on a daughter was a significant step forward—how could he refuse?
Thus, Hei Ta perfectly integrated into Mu Chen's family, becoming a member of the Saintly Craftsman family, a few days younger than Mu Xi.
A few days later.
"So Hei Ta, you're already a blacksmith..." After hearing Hei Ta's forging achievements, Mu Xi was very envious. Although she was also forging, she had only just begun, barely achieving some small success.
However, this small success was not enough to call her a blacksmith. Only with her father's help could Mu Xi perform the hundred-fold forging.
"Well, my soul power is still too low. I'm afraid I won't be able to break through until it increases."
After a few days of communication, Mu Xi and Hei Ta's relationship had obviously improved by leaps and bounds. After all, they shared the same hobby and became good friends after chatting about forging.
However, compared to Mu Xi, the other person was clearly not doing so well.
"Xiao Xi, Hei Ta, report your martial souls and soul power to me later. You're both of school age now."
Mu Xi was already nine years old, and Hei Ta was about the same age. Mu Chen had already contacted the East Sea Academy, and arranging for the two children to get in wouldn't be a problem.
"Okay, Dad."
"Hmph, I know, Uncle!"
Compared to Mu Xi, Hei Ta's attitude towards Mu Chen was obviously not very good. Even though she didn't call Mu Chen a bad guy because of Yuan Bao'er, her tone was pretty much the same.
"Heita, don't be like that. Dad is only doing this for our own good."
Mu Xi had already spoken with Yuan Bao'er. Heita might still have some psychological trauma from Mu Chen, so she needed to take extra care of her in this regard. Mu Xi was indeed following her mother's advice, showing great concern for her younger sister during this time.
"Sigh!"
Watching the two little girls chatting happily, Mu Chen could only sigh helplessly. He really didn't understand children these days!
Why did his home feel so unfamiliar now? He was supposed to be the head of the family, so why couldn't he fit in?
Helpless, Mu Chen stood up from his chair, preparing to go to the study to handle some matters. Heita, watching Mu Chen leave, said to Mu Xi beside her, "Sister Mu Xi, I'm going to report my soul power to Uncle. We can talk about forging later!"
With that, Heita jumped up from the sofa and chased after Mu Chen's departing figure.
"Hmm? Is something wrong, Heita?"
Mu Chen had barely closed the door before he saw the petite purple figure behind him as he entered the study.
"Nothing much, just wanted to tell you about my soul power." Her attitude was still as bad as ever, but Hei Ta knew what the important matter was. "My martial soul is called 'Erudite,' and my soul power is level twenty-five. Remember that, Uncle!"
"Oh, Rudite, level twenty-five…"
It was similar to what he had sensed before. To be able to complete spirit forging with such soul power was enough to demonstrate Hei Ta's high talent.
"My daughter's martial soul is the same as mine. I just tested it a few days ago, and it's only thirteen… Wait a minute!"
Mu Chen hadn't initially thought anything was strange, but after comparing Mu Xi and Hei Ta side-by-side, he quickly noticed the discrepancy.
Mu Xi, nine years old, level thirteen soul power.
Hei Ta, nine years old, level twenty-five soul power?
How could her soul power be so high?
Without hesitation, Mu Chen grabbed Hei Ta's small hand and pulled her into the study.
"Hei Ta, tell Uncle, what is your innate soul power?"
"To possess such high soul power at this age, this black tower must be at innate full soul power, right?"
"Innate full soul power, level 20."
"Haha, it really is innate full soul power..."
"What? Innate level 20? What kind of spirit is that?"
The first few words confirmed Mu Chen's guess, immediately bringing a smile to his face. But when the words "level 20" entered his mind, Mu Chen felt his brain tremble.
Isn't innate full soul power level 10? How could there be level 20 soul power?
Wait!
As if remembering something, Mu Chen's eyes immediately changed.
He remembered that an ancient book once mentioned that on the Douluo Continent 20,000 years ago, a soul master with innate level 20 soul power had indeed been born!
That was Qian Renxue, the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall and the mortal enemy of Tang San, the ancestor of Shrek Academy, who possessed the "Six-Winged Angel" spirit!
Others might only have level 10 innate soul power, but the Six-Winged Angel lineage, possessing a divine-level martial soul, directly broke through the level 10 limit, reaching level 20 innate soul power. This was equivalent to being born at the pinnacle, possessing an immeasurable future.
In the final battle between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Martial Soul Empire, Qian Renxue also successfully broke through to level 99 soul power, becoming the Angel God.
Thinking of this, Mu Chen lowered his head, gazing at the little girl calmly looking at him. She actually claimed to possess level 20 innate soul power? Did that mean… she possessed a divine-level martial soul on par with the Six-Winged Angel martial soul?
"Quick! Show me your martial soul!"
Mu Chen's voice was somewhat urgent. He had already concluded that Black Tower was a genius with a top-tier martial soul, but he never expected it to be a divine-level martial soul?
Black Tower waved her hand, her nonchalant attitude leaving Mu Chen speechless. Did she even know what a divine-level martial soul represented?
It represented infinite possibilities for the future, a very high chance of becoming a god!
