"Teacher, teacher." Yan Jin knocked on Amon's door.
Amon, who was cultivating his soul power, opened his eyes and stopped meditating. The several clones in the room turned into streamers and merged into his body.
As soon as he heard Yan Jin's address, he knew that this little rascal must have something troubling him.
Usually, she wasn't so polite. She would knock hard on the door. This was the result of her being disciplined after entering Amon's room without permission, which made her restrain herself a bit.
"What's the matter?" Amon opened the door and rubbed her head.
Although Yan Jin was unhappy about her hair being messed up, she had a favor to ask, so she had to swallow her anger.
"Teacher, can you perform the Martial Soul Awakening ceremony?"
"Hmm? Do you want me to help your younger siblings awaken their Martial Souls?"
"Yes, Lei Yin and Mo Lei are already six years old, and it's time for them to awaken their Martial Souls," Yan Jin nodded.
"Why not go to the Martial Soul Hall?"
Yan Jin said with a bitter face: "Because the time has passed. They help civilians awaken their Martial Souls at a fixed time every year. If you miss it, you will be charged extra for a separate awakening, and the fee is not low."
Amon shrugged and nodded, "Okay, the academy has the equipment needed for awakening. I'll borrow it tomorrow to help Lei Yin and Mo Lei perform the ceremony."
"Thank you."
Speaking of the Martial Soul Awakening ceremony, Amon couldn't help but think of the prestigious Awakening Grandmaster Su Yuntao, and felt a little regret in his heart.
If he had helped him awaken his Martial Soul, it might have been upgraded to the level of the Sefirah Castle or something.
Amon didn't know the Awakening ceremony, but he could learn it.
He found the corresponding books in the library that day and memorized the steps of the ceremony one by one, which was not difficult.
The next day, he borrowed the academy's ceremonial equipment and prepared to help Lei Yin and Mo Lei awaken their Martial Souls.
Amon placed six black circular stones on the ground in a hexagonal shape, and then signaled Mo Lei to stand inside.
Mo Lei stood cautiously in the center of the hexagon, with anticipation and anxiety.
As six strands of soul power were injected, a layer of golden light was released from the stones, forming a light golden cover that enveloped Mo Lei.
As she was enveloped in the light, Mo Lei's expression became a little dull. Golden light spots floated out of the stones and entered her body.
Her body suddenly began to tremble.
"Extend your right hand," Amon's gentle voice sounded.
Mo Lei obediently stretched out her palm, and all the light spots began to gather. In an instant, a transparent crystal ball appeared in her palm.
The golden light gradually converged. Mo Lei looked at the crystal ball in her hand, a little at a loss.
"This is your Martial Soul. According to the classification, it is a Tool Martial Soul. The next step is the key. Let's test whether you have soul power. Only those who test positive for soul power can practice as a Soul Master," Amon explained to her.
Seeing that she was still a little at a loss, Yan Jin reminded her: "Use your mind to take it back. You can also use your mind to summon it when you want to use it in the future."
Mo Lei tried for a long time before taking back the crystal ball.
Amon handed the blue crystal for testing to her and signaled her to put her right hand on it.
Mo Lei placed her slightly chubby little hand on the testing crystal ball. After a while, the crystal ball did not respond.
Yan Jin showed a disappointed expression.
The fact that the testing crystal ball did not respond did not mean that Mo Lei had no soul power at all, but that it was too little, less than half a level, and could not be detected.
This shows that her talent is so low that she is not suitable for the path of a Soul Master at all. Forcing her to cultivate would only waste time.
Looking at the disappointed Mo Lei, Yan Jin felt a little uncomfortable, but didn't know how to comfort her.
"Let her be alone for a while. You'll only make it worse if you go, after all, you are a successful person, a 'genius' that makes countless people feel ashamed," Amon dissuaded.
Next, he began to help Lei Yin awaken.
Only to see silver light wandering in Lei Yin's palm, like silver snakes, with faint sounds of thunder.
"Thunder Martial Soul!" Amon's eyes lit up, and he had a little more expectation in his heart.
When Lei Yin's right hand was placed on the testing crystal, the crystal ball suddenly burst into bright light. According to the knowledge he had seen in the book, Amon judged that his innate soul power was level seven.
Full innate soul power is very rare, and level nine or eight can be called a genius.
Level seven can be considered good. If the soul ring acquired later is good, there is still a glimmer of hope to become a Titled Douluo.
Amon looked at Lei Yin and then at Yan Jin, and felt that their village could be considered a treasure land, and they could simultaneously produce two such talented people.
The children cheered, and Yan Jin also laughed and stepped forward to pat Lei Yin on the shoulder, "Hahaha, not bad, we will be classmates in the future, quickly call me senior sister."
The yard was noisy, only Mo Lei stood aside, looking at Lei Yin, feeling a little lost in her heart.
Lei Yin showed a look of joy. He thought for a while and said to Yan Jin: "Sister, can I not go to school? The family still needs me to look after it. It's too hard for Mo Lei alone. I can cultivate soul power at home."
"What nonsense are you talking about? How can you not go to school?" Yan Jin put on a stern face, showing the majesty of the eldest sister.
Amon pinched his monocle, his eyes flickered slightly, and said: "It's okay not to go. I can teach him the basic knowledge that a Soul Master needs to understand."
"Then… that's okay," Yan Jin nodded.
She highly recognized Amon's level, after all, he was the only one whose soul power was lower than hers and could still make her suffer.
In addition, in her mind, Amon's knowledge was also very broad, and he had unique insights into Martial Souls. Although his soul power was somewhat inferior, he surpassed the teachers in the academy in many aspects.
"Speaking of going to school, Yan Jin, how much knowledge have you learned at school?" Amon asked suddenly.
"Uh… this…" Yan Jin stammered, her eyes began to dodge. Her combat ability was the best in the academy, and her theoretical level was at the bottom of the grade.
"What do you think Lei Yin needs to do most now?" Amon asked with a bit of an examination tone.
Yan Jin lowered her head and thought for a moment, clenched her right fist and gently hammered the palm of her left hand, and replied seriously: "I know this, he needs to hunt a slime!"
"Soul rings only need to be hunted when his soul power reaches level ten. What he should do now is to exercise his soul power control level."
"Yes, yes, yes, that's what I meant," Yan Jin personally experienced the benefits of control over herself.
She supported her chin with her right hand and suddenly said to Amon: "Should we go to Ma Wen again and let her invest in Lei Yin too?"
Amon thought for a moment and shook his head, "Not for now, let's see first."
