Douluo Continent: I have the Heaven-Piercing Tyrannosaurus Beast

Chapter 2 A Useless Martial Soul? Innate Full Soul Power!

Xiao Yan felt a sudden weight in his palm. The egg that had suddenly appeared in his hand weighed down on him, causing him to bend one knee slightly. He had no choice but to hold it with both hands and slowly place it on the ground.

Looking at the egg, he also looked somewhat worried.

Being a food-type Soul Master? That's not impossible, given Oscar's experience. But if that's the case, I'd have to find a team to team up with, and even start training some Soul Masters as combat power to support them.

Although this egg of mine, let alone cooking it, makes people wonder if it's even edible at first glance.

"Egg? Useless, a useless martial spirit?"

Although he had said this dozens of times today, Su Yuntao still voiced his judgment. With years of professional experience, he had tested countless children with awakened martial spirits, and had seen all kinds of martial spirits. Even rare plant-type or weapon-type martial spirits had potential to be explored.

But this egg is far too big. Most food-type Soul Masters summon things that can be eaten immediately, such as sausages, bread, mushrooms, etc.

How can a food-type Soul Master summon an egg that a person can barely hold in both hands? On the battlefield, do you think the enemy will wait for you to light a fire and cook an egg?

The supply efficiency was ridiculously low, and Su Yuntao couldn't sense any soul power fluctuations from this strangely patterned egg.

You could become a chef; that way you wouldn't even need to worry about the raw materials for food.

"Well, no matter what, I've still gained something today." Su Yuntao glanced at the little boy closest to him, his eyes filled with satisfaction.

"Child, come here and test your soul power." He took out a crystal ball from his bag and beckoned to Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan nodded and walked towards Su Yuntao.

Su Yuntao was about to suggest that Xiao Yan retract his martial soul to avoid excessive soul power consumption in maintaining its state. However, the ease with which Xiao Yan moved suggested that his martial soul was a one-time use item, thus not requiring soul power to maintain. This further confirmed Su Yuntao's belief that Xiao Yan was nothing more than food.

Xiao Yan placed his hand on the crystal ball, and the moment his palm touched it, a dazzling blue halo, even more radiant than a gemstone, filled the small house once again.

"Oh my god, how come it's innate full soul power again?"

Holding the crystal ball, Su Yuntao frowned. What was going on today? He had just encountered a useless martial soul with full innate soul power, Blue Silver Grass, and now another useless person with full innate soul power had appeared here.

He shook his head with a wry smile. If it was a decent martial soul, he would invite the person to go to the Spirit Hall with him for training. He would also be rewarded by the organization for discovering such a person.

It seems my life really isn't that good.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Grandpa George's panting voice came from outside the door. He had just approached the cottage and saw the light coming from inside, sometimes yellow and sometimes blue. He looked at Su Yuntao with expectant eyes.

"Master, how are the kids in our village?"

Su Yuntao sighed, put the crystal ball back into his bag, placed his hand on the boy's head beside him, and gently patted it.

"That's good. I've run all over six or seven villages around Notting City today, and this is the only one that meets our Spirit Hall's standards: 2 innate spirit power and a scythe spirit."

The boy who was being patted on the head looked proudly at Village Chief George and stretched out his right hand to summon his martial spirit.

"And what about the other children?" George asked, turning his gaze to Xiao Yan. On the way here with Su Yuntao, he had been praising Xiao Yan incessantly, which showed his high expectations for him.

After all, who wouldn't feel sorry for a child who matures early?

"There was one child who arrived last, and he was born with full soul power, but he had a useless martial soul."

Su Yuntao raised his chin, gesturing for the village chief to look over. On the hexagonal star array that he had not yet removed, Xiao Yan's egg was still on it.

"Such a big egg, is this child a food-type Soul Master?"

"Impossible. An egg this big can hardly be considered a food-type spirit. If you were a regular egg spirit, that would be fine. With low energy consumption, you could keep attacking enemies or supplying your teammates with eggs. But how are you supposed to eat an egg this big on the battlefield? If you use it as an attack, the enemy would have already dodged it."

Su Yuntao shook his head and rejected Village Chief George's idea.

"Alright, Master, you've had a long day. Why don't you stay here tonight? We were going to take care of the child's grandparents anyway."

Su Yuntao nodded.

"Soul Master, what should I do if I can't reclaim my Martial Soul no matter what I do?"

Xiao Yan squatted down and looked at the egg in front of him. As he was awakening for the first time, he really didn't know how to retract his martial soul. Since his martial soul was guided out, apart from feeling a thread connecting him and the egg, he could no longer sense the egg.

The child next to him easily summoned and withdrew his martial spirit, but when he placed his hand on the egg and imagined receiving it into his body, he still couldn't do it.

He originally intended to treat the egg as a one-sided food spirit and ignore it, but as he walked away, he faintly felt his spirit calling to him.

This is clearly not an ordinary egg.

He could only turn his gaze to the only Soul Master present, even though he only had Soul Power in the twenties.

"Reclaiming your martial soul is like guiding you out, except you have to reverse the process."

Su Yuntao racked his brains before coming up with this wording: Martial Soul and Soul Master are one. In his view, releasing and retracting Martial Soul is as easy as breathing. These are innate skills, so how can he teach them?

"Furthermore, your martial soul is likely a food-type, which is meant to be used only once. Once the time has passed and the soul power consumed when you summoned your martial soul dissipates, it will also disappear."

Xiao Yan nodded reluctantly. It seemed that he had placed too high expectations on Brother Tao and should not have relied on his knowledge.

Seeing that Xiao Yan was still somewhat puzzled, Su Yuntao bent down, and Xiao Yan had no choice but to give him space. He tapped the eggshell with his hand and listened to the sounds inside, just like when he was picking out a watermelon.

"If all else fails, let's boil this egg tonight. Although the pattern looks a bit strange, it shouldn't be poisonous. It'll be a good way to nourish everyone."

Upon hearing this, some children were happy, while others worried about whether these brightly colored eggs were safe to eat.

Xiao Yan frowned. Just now, he heard an even stronger heartbeat. This time he was certain that it was not his own heartbeat, but that of the egg.

So does that mean my martial soul isn't food, but might be a soul beast?

An unhatched soul beast cub.

He was about to speak to stop him, but Su Yuntao had already grasped the top of the egg with his right hand, intending to lift it up. What happened next made Xiao Yan shut up and observe quietly.

The moment Su Yuntao's hand touched it, his expression changed. The children around him, including the village chief, were still looking at him curiously, wondering why he didn't pick it up.

But only he knew the reason: he discovered that he couldn't lift the egg.

You have to understand, he was a level 26 Great Soul Master, and he clearly saw Xiao Yan place the egg on the ground with ease.

"That's really weird, I don't believe it."

"Lone Wolf, move out."

Su Yuntao activated his martial spirit again. The moment the beast martial spirit was awakened, a sense of power enveloped his entire body. He hugged the egg with both hands and prepared to lift it up again.

His face flushed red as he felt the temperature of the object in his arms gradually rise.

"Snap!"

A crisp sound rang out in the room, and Xiao Yan and Su Yuntao reacted at the same time, shouting into the room:

"Run!"

The next instant, an explosion came from Su Yuntao's arms. Xiao Yan grabbed the village chief and ran outside, with the other children following behind. Xiao Yan looked back and saw two soul rings, one white and one yellow, flashing on Su Yuntao's body.

The towering flames ripped the roof tiles off, scattering them everywhere, and then the mud-brick house collapsed completely.
