“Seven-Orifice Lotus Seed?
I’ve never heard of that!
Did you just make that name up?”
The deacon was puzzled.
The name sounded quite unique.
How could a mere ordinary lotus seed dare to bear such a name?
Suddenly, a thought occurred to him.
There was another possibility: a mutated lotus seed Spirit.
No wonder he hadn’t seen it before.
‘Yes, that must be it.’
This explanation perfectly accounted for why he didn’t recognize this type of Spirit.
Lin Feng was stunned and silently grumbled to himself: ‘Are you listening to yourself?
What do you mean by making it up?’
He didn’t know how to refute that, because he didn’t know the situation either.
“There’s nothing special about it, is there?”
He couldn’t figure it out; he truly couldn’t understand it.
Clearly, this seemed to have reached the limits of his knowledge.
Since he couldn’t understand it, according to convention, it would naturally be treated as a useless Spirit.
He had worked hard traveling to several villages, yet there wasn’t a single one capable of cultivation.
It had been a wasted trip.
After asking, he shook his head to himself and made to leave.
He couldn’t even be bothered to continue with the Soul Power testing process.
Seeing this, Lin Feng became anxious.
Looking at his demeanor, was he not planning to test his Soul Power?
How could that be allowed?
Why was there discrimination?
He quickly raised a hand and shouted: “Um, Soul Master, please wait a moment.
You haven’t tested my Soul Power yet…”
How could he possibly have a useless Spirit?
This was something he could not accept.
This was his only chance; missing it would be troublesome.
The deacon glanced at Lin Feng, a flicker of impatience crossing his eyes.
However, looking at Lin Feng’s hopeful gaze seemed to stir his remaining sense of responsibility, and in the end, he took out the crystal ball.
Fine, he would test it.
It would only take a moment anyway.
“Here, put your hand on it…”
Something unexpected happened.
“Hum…” The previously dim crystal ball suddenly erupted with an extremely dazzling blue light.
The light instantly filled the entire hut.
For the other children without Soul Power, this light was even somewhat blinding.
“Ah!” “My eyes!” “So bright!”
Accompanied by a chorus of noisy discussions.
The Spirit Hall deacon’s eyes were also wide open, his mouth slightly agape, his face full of disbelief.
“Full Soul Power?
It’s actually innate full Soul Power?
This…
this makes no sense!”
It was clearly just an ordinary lotus seed; how could it have innate full Soul Power?
Upon hearing that he had innate full Soul Power, the person most excited was undoubtedly Lin Feng himself.
He was relieved; now he could finally be at ease.
It had not been in vain that he had transmigrated.
He just knew that his Spirit was definitely not something simple.
Right now, he wanted to see what expression would be on the Spirit Hall deacon’s face—was it shock, or just more shock?
A sense of pleasure from slapping everyone in the face suddenly rose in his heart.
He just watched the speechless Spirit Hall deacon like this.
After pondering for a while, the deacon took out paper and pen, asked for some of Lin Feng’s basic information, and then wrote down a Spirit Hall certificate.
“Here, kid, keep this safe.
You can take this certificate to register for enrollment…”
After pondering, the deacon still didn’t take this child with full Soul Power seriously.
So what if he had full Soul Power?
This lotus seed had already been labeled as a useless Spirit by him.
In the eyes of ordinary people, a Soul Master could not possibly be wrong.
Asking him to go back on his word now—wouldn’t that be slapping his own face?
As for the deacon’s reaction, Lin Feng didn’t really care.
With the certificate in hand, as long as he had the chance to enroll, that was enough; he didn’t need to ask for more.
He was just a bit curious, why didn’t he offer a token invitation for him to join Spirit Hall, given his innate full Soul Power?
They could at least make a gesture, right?
He felt like something was missing; it was really quite unpleasant.
He had even thought that if possible, joining Spirit Hall faction directly wouldn’t be out of the question.
At the very least, his future life would be guaranteed.
Now it seemed there was no hope; they simply didn’t value him.
He looked at the certificate, and upon seeing the deacon’s signature, his expression became very strange.
It turned out this Soul Master’s name was: Su Yuntao.
He had a title: The Blind Douluo.
Well, that explained it.
Shenma Village hadn’t produced a single Soul Master capable of cultivation in decades.
Thus, the fact that Lin Feng could cultivate became a major event for Shenma Village…
Having been in this World for six years, the days before school started were the most luxurious period Lin Feng had ever spent.
Overnight, the villagers collectively became enthusiastic, treating him like a young master.
They sent all kinds of delicious food to his house with great enthusiasm.
There was meat at every meal, he was full every time, and his complexion became visibly rosier.
He just drifted along in the village until school started.
After enrolling.
As an orphan, Lin Feng had no source of income, and his life remained distressingly frugal.
Although his status as a work-study student exempted him from tuition, he had to pay for his food out of his own pocket.
The meager subsidy from Spirit Hall, plus the occasional help from the old village chief, became his lifeline.
(TL: meager??
Bro spirit hall gives anyone below level 30, 10 gold coins… that’s like 10k dollars irl… its no where near meager)
Relying on cheap food, he painstakingly finished six years of theoretical cultural courses at the Junior Soul Master Academy.
In those years, hunger was a constant companion.
Going hungry for two out of three days was the norm.
When there was truly nothing to eat, he could only fill his stomach with cold water to deceive his empty gut.
Winter was especially difficult.
The cold water he drank seemed to instantly freeze into ice shards in his stomach, making him shiver all over.
He was so thin that he was just skin and bones; even the stray dogs on the side of the road would shun him and walk around him.
In the quiet of the night, he would curl up on his cold bed and grumble to himself: Why didn’t he meet a benefactor descending from the heavens like the protagonists in storybooks?
Was his fate not miserable enough?
Was that kind of treatment really an aura that only the protagonist group deserved?
He felt like a shadow deliberately forgotten in a corner, with absolutely no presence.
Just like the most ordinary passerby.
Even though he had enrolled with the aptitude of innate full Soul Power, the arrogance flowing in the bones of those students from noble families made them sneer at commoners, let alone befriend them?
For a time, Lin Feng was out of place with them because he wasn’t rich enough.
He was also proud; since that was the case, he disdained to curry favor with these snobbish brats.
This life of poverty and loneliness continued until his Spirit began to reveal its edge, only then was he slightly noticed by the academy’s upper management, and his life improved a little.
After successfully attaching his first Soul Ring, his Spirit underwent its first change.
That Seven-Orifice Lotus Seed quietly lit up its second pattern, and the golden light on the surface of the lotus seed became a bit richer!
This change initially surprised Lin Feng, but it also gave him a vague sense of expectation for his Spirit.
It wasn’t until he attached his second Soul Ring that he gained a more comprehensive understanding of the Seven-Orifice Lotus Martial Soul.
He had always firmly believed that his Spirit was extraordinary, and the facts indeed proved so; it was even a hidden, growth-type top-tier Spirit!
For the Seven-Orifice Lotus Martial Soul, every time a Soul Ring was successfully attached and a Soul Ring rank limit was broken through, the lotus seed would light up an additional pattern.
Each pattern lit up could directly increase his base strength and cultivation speed by one fold on top of the existing base!
When he broke through to become a Soul Grand Master, the Seven-Orifice Lotus Martial Soul had already lit up three patterns.
This meant that his strength and cultivation speed were already three times that of others!
Relying on these enhancements, Lin Feng quickly achieved a turnaround and overtook others.
Whether it was combat ability or the speed of Soul Power improvement, he far surpassed his peers, gradually earning the title of a prodigy in the academy.
The academy finally began to truly value him, exempting him from chores and providing some financial assistance, equivalent to a special scholarship.
(TL: honestly such a thing should’ve been more common and done early on..
like someone with innate 10 could basically guarantee a titled douluo and youre telling me you gave them no privilege no scholarship no bonus food or anything?
Not even with like mc not even tang san got such a benefit..
the dean only helped him cause he was a friend of yu trashdung, hell even tho xiao wu didn’t need it she also didn’t get any benefits she had to ‘hunt’ for her rings herself..
imagine if she were actually just a little girl, she would’ve been dead early on)
From then on, his life, which had been like walking on thin ice, finally had a chance to breathe, and he no longer had to struggle for survival amidst hunger and cold.
