Wuhun: Desert Death on the left hand, the world on the right hand

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, Bai Yun has spent six years in the village. At this time, the young Bai Yun ushered in the first important moment of his life - the awakening of his martial soul.

In the early spring, all the children aged six and above gathered together at the threshing ground at the entrance of the village. They were as lively as newly hatched chicks, chirping and making the scene very lively.

An old man in a coarse grey robe, with white hair and a childlike face, stood in front of the crowd. His back was slightly hunched, but his eyes were like torches, scanning every child. He was the only soul master in the village and also a private school teacher - Xue Wu.

Although Xue Wu is the only soul master in the village and is respected by everyone, he is always the amiable and kind person in the face of the children's mischief and curiosity. Whenever the children gather around him and clamor to listen to stories, he always smiles and touches his long beard, with a kind light in his eyes.

Although he was often called "Old Man Xue", he never got angry about it. On the contrary, this affectionate name became an invisible bridge between him and the children. Whenever he heard it, he would always wave his hands and say cheerfully: "Oh, you little guys, there's really nothing I can do about you."

Old man Xue stood in front of the crowd, stroked his beard, and glanced at the children, wondering if there were any children who could cultivate soul power.

"Brother Yun, what are we doing? My mother said she would take me to the town to see the lanterns today!" A little girl pulled the sleeve of the boy next to her and asked in a baby voice.

"Shh, Wang Erya, keep your voice down. You must have something important to say. Look, even Goudan has become quiet." Bai Yun made a hushed gesture and secretly pointed in a certain direction of the crowd. There, a little fat boy with a runny nose was picking his fingers nervously. He was usually noisy, but today he was unusually quiet.

"What else could it be? It must be the awakening of the martial soul." Bai Yun thought to himself but did not say it out loud.

"Ahem," Old Man Xue cleared his throat, "Children, today is the day that determines your fate! Whether you can become a soul master depends on today..."

"Be quiet!" Old man Xue slammed his crutch heavily on the ground, and an invisible pressure made the children quiet down instantly.

As soon as Old Man Xue finished speaking, the children began to stir. Although they were young, they also knew what a "Soul Master" meant. That was a powerful person who could call the wind and rain and was respected by others!

A short middle-aged man squeezed in from the back of the crowd. He was the village chief, Li Dachui.

Li Dachui nodded and bowed to Old Man Xue and said, "Master Soul Master, everything is ready." As he spoke, Li Dachui lifted up a table covered with a red cloth behind him, revealing a blue crystal ball and six black pebbles placed on it.

"Okay, let's start!" Old man Xue waved his hand, and the children immediately became nervous and lined up according to their age.

The first child came forward and nervously placed his little hand on the crystal ball, his round belly rising and falling with his breathing. The crystal ball showed no reaction, and the little boy's face turned pale instantly, and he was about to cry.

"Next!" Old man Xue announced expressionlessly, and the little boy could only walk off the stage in frustration.

Next, one after another, the children came forward to take the test, but the results were the same, the crystal ball did not react at all. Looking at the children who walked down dejectedly, Bai Yun felt a little nervous. He was not afraid that he would not be able to awaken his martial soul, but that his true strength would be discovered. After all, he was now level 31.

Bai Yun glanced at Goudan in the crowd, and saw that he was staring at the crystal ball with excitement, not looking nervous at all.

Finally it was Goudan's turn. He excitedly ran to the crystal ball. As soon as he put his chubby little hand on it, the crystal ball flickered slightly and then dimmed. Only vaguely, a black sickle appeared in his hand. The sickle was pitch black and gave off a chill. A strong aura emanated from Goudan.

"It's a martial spirit! It's a martial spirit!" "Goudan has awakened his martial spirit! He will be a master spirit master in the future!"

The children were immediately excited, looking at Goudan with envy, and even the adults looked at him with awe. Goudan proudly puffed out his chest, as if he had become a powerful man admired by everyone.

"Innate soul power... level one." Old man Xue, who was doing the test, frowned slightly and announced the result.

Next, Wang Erya walked forward timidly and placed her little hand on the crystal ball. The crystal ball emitted a faint light, and a colorful butterfly flew out from behind her, gently flapping its wings.

"It's the Butterfly Martial Soul, the third level of innate soul power! It can be cultivated!" Old Man Xue announced loudly, and the crowd suddenly quieted down. Everyone looked at Wang Erya with incredible eyes, as if they were looking at a high and mighty soul master.

Wang Erya was also startled by this sudden change. She stared blankly at the butterfly flying around her, her heart filled with joy and anxiety.

Finally, all the children finished the test, only Goudan and Wang Erya awakened their martial spirits, and the rest of the children could only leave sadly.

"Baiyun, it's your turn! Don't be stunned!" Old man Xue's powerful voice interrupted Baiyun's thoughts. Baiyun took a deep breath and walked forward slowly. He knew that the moment to decide his fate had come!

Bai Yun has always kept the memories of his past life deep in his heart, and never easily revealed his uniqueness. On weekdays, he pretended to be no different from other children, trying to maintain the golden mean, not standing out, not standing out. But in fact, he practiced silently every late night, not daring to slack off.

Today, Old Man Xue's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's. Bai Yun felt as if he was standing naked in front of him, and the secrets in his heart seemed to be seen through. He secretly groaned, thinking that he had been careful enough, but did he still reveal a flaw?

At this moment, he felt that Old Man Xue's eyes were on him. Bai Yun's heart tightened, but he showed no sign on his face. He knew that even though he was hiding his incompetence, he didn't know if he could get away with it in the eyes of these knowledgeable elders.

In order not to attract too much attention, Bai Yun had already completely restrained the aura of the Bai Yun Realm, and only showed the level 1 soul power fluctuation that a normal person should have. Although this would affect the display of his strength, he had to be so cautious for the sake of safety.

Bai Yun even thought about giving all of his Dog Head Martial Spirit's spiritual power to Bai Yunjie to devour! After all, it was easy for his Dog Head Martial Spirit to upgrade!

But in the end, he decided to give up after thinking about it. Firstly, Bai Yun was not sure whether this would damage his foundation. Even if it did not, it would cause his dog-headed clone in the Baiyun Realm to be seriously injured at best, or even directly dissipate at worst!

He did this just to avoid attracting too much attention. After all, the road to genius is not easy to walk. It was because he was too dazzling that he attracted countless jealousies and murderous intentions, and finally ended up with a violent death. After his rebirth, he never wanted to repeat the same mistake.

Bai Yun exhaled lightly, suppressed his inner pride, and said in a calm tone: "Grandpa Xue, I have been waiting for this moment. I look forward to my martial spirit bringing me new power and opportunities."

Old Man Xue nodded slightly and said in a kind tone: "Every soul master's martial soul is unique. What will yours be like? Wait for me to awaken it for you."

Bai Yun took a deep breath and handed his hand to Old Man Xue. In an instant, a faint white light flashed, and Bai Yun only felt a gentle tremor, as if countless soul powers were awakening in his body.

"Woof!" A dog barked, and an illusory dog ​​head appeared in front of Bai Yun, and then disappeared in an instant. The children exclaimed in surprise, with envy, jealousy, and disdain.

"Innate first-level soul power, dog-type martial soul, what a pity..." Old man Xue shook his head and scribbled a few words on his record book.

"Next!"

Bai Yun silently retreated behind the other children, with a barely perceptible smile on his lips.
