Chapter 3: Joining the Spirit Hall

Lin Yu was in the room, enticing Zhou Heng to join the Spirit Hall.

Just as Zhou Heng was contemplating whether he should join the Spirit Hall, Lin Yu could not hold back anymore.

This child was truly too steady; she had to reveal some information to attract this child to join the Spirit Hall.

"Child, do you want to know the origin of your little tree martial soul?"

Zhou Heng, whose mind was originally deep in thought, was immediately captivated by Lin Yu after hearing her words.

"Lord Spirit Master, you know my martial soul? Could it be that it is very famous?" Zhou Heng asked, feigning curiosity.

It was no wonder Zhou Heng was curious; one had to know that a person's martial soul was inherited from the bloodlines of both parents of the person who awakened the martial soul.

The Battle Instrument martial soul had absolutely never appeared in this world; it was something he had brought over from his past life.

As for this little tree martial soul, it was the martial soul this body was originally supposed to awaken. Now that someone knew about his martial soul, it was only natural for him to inquire about information regarding his martial soul, so as to make plans for developing it later.

Lin Yu looked at Zhou Heng with a beaming smile and said, "Join our Spirit Hall, and all this information can be told to you."

"Not only that, our Spirit Hall can also fully help you develop your two martial souls, allowing you to become a Title Douluo at the fastest speed."

Zhou Heng was somewhat tempted by this, but thinking of the destined protagonist of this era, Tang San, Zhou Heng was still somewhat hesitant.

After thinking it over, Zhou Heng said to Lin Yu, "Apologies, Lord Lin Yu, I intend to discuss this with Village Chief Li Zongyu before giving you an answer."

After hearing Zhou Heng's reply, Lin Yu did not say anything; with Li Zongyu's persuasion, Zhou Heng would basically join the Spirit Hall, and Lin Yu was not worried about this.

Lin Yu handed the martial soul awakening certificates to each child and told them to take them back.

Afterward, she pushed open the doors of the Spirit Branch Hall and let these children go home.

Lin Yu then took Wang Hu and Zhou Heng and walked toward the village chief, Li Zongyu, who was waiting outside.

Seeing Lin Yu bringing Zhou Heng and another child from the village toward him, Li Zongyu immediately understood that Lin Yu had discovered a genius in the village.

Li Zongyu hurried forward, cupped his hands in a salute to Lin Yu, and said, "Lord Lin Yu, is there any problem with these two children?"

Lin Yu glanced at Zhou Heng and said excitedly to Li Zongyu, "This martial soul awakening resulted in five people possessing soul power, and there are two geniuses—these two people: Wang Hu has Innate Spirit Power of level seven and a half, with the Cold Wind Blade martial soul;"

"And Zhou Heng has extremely high talent, Twin Spirits, Innate Full Soul Power, one unknown Tool Spirit, and one rare Plant-type Spirit, both of superior quality."

"I can recommend these two children to join the Spirit Hall, guaranteeing that they can receive better instruction."

Zhou Heng watched Lin Yu being so certain, as if she could do whatever she said in the Spirit Hall.

Zhou Heng was incredibly puzzled by this.

Li Zongyu, however, believed Lin Yu's words and kindly persuaded Zhou Heng and Wang Hu, "Little Heng, and Ah Hu, you are not unaware of the Spirit Hall's influence on the continent; joining the Spirit Hall is absolutely the best way out for commoners."

"Listen to our advice and join the Spirit Hall."

Li Zongyu let Wang Hu go home to talk to his parents, as it would be difficult to go home later.

Li Zongyu gave Zhou Huan a long lecture, which made Zhou Heng feel extremely annoyed.

However, Li Zongyu's words also made Zhou Heng waver somewhat.

Zhou Heng knew that given his talent for Twin Spirits, joining the Spirit Hall would basically mean entering the Pope Palace and becoming a disciple of Bibi Dong.

However, the psychological state of that madwoman Bibi Dong made Zhou Heng exceptionally worried.

After thinking it over, Zhou Heng felt it was better to join the Spirit Hall.

After all, his talent was truly very strong; if he joined other factions, he did not know if he could protect his own life.

Moreover, the Spirit Hall possessed the best resources; as long as he performed well, he would not lack resources. Even when the time came for the Spirit Hall to be destroyed, he could just find an opportunity to run away.

Finally, it was also to put the village chief at ease, so he wouldn't have to worry about his safety, because there were numerous Title Douluo in the Spirit Hall, and people from other factions would have to consider the Spirit Hall's attitude if they wanted to make a move against him.

After deciding on his path, Zhou Heng said to Lin Yu and Li Zongyu, "Village Chief Grandfather, Lord Lin Yu, I am willing to join the Spirit Hall and become a Spirit Master under the Spirit Hall."

After hearing Zhou Heng's words, the anxious and persuasive look on Li Zongyu's face suddenly froze, then he reacted and smiled, "Good, Little Heng, joining the Spirit Hall will allow you to receive the best education, and you won't have to worry about resources."

Lin Yu also heard Li Zongyu's words, but Lin Yu did not refute anything; after all, Zhou Huan had such talent, and if he joined the Spirit Hall, how could the Spirit Hall not give her a reward?

She would get a reward, while Li Zongyu was just a village chief; at most, he could get a few Gold Soul Coins, which couldn't compare to her. Talking about these things had nothing to do with her.

Lin Yu had originally thought that even with the village chief Li Zongyu's persuasion, it would take a day or two for Zhou Heng to change his mind. As it turned out, it only took such a short time for Zhou Heng to change his intention, which was a pleasant surprise.

Lin Yu watched Li Zongyu keep talking to Zhou Heng, giving instructions on what to pay attention to after going to the Spirit Hall, and she did not speak to interrupt, just waiting quietly.

After a good while, Li Zongyu saw Lin Yu looking at them and stopped his desire to continue talking.

He cupped his hands in a salute to Lin Yu and said, "Lord Spirit Master, Little Heng has already agreed to join the Spirit Hall. I wonder what your plans are?"

Lin Yu waved her hand and said, "My mission is already complete. Why don't we take these two children to the Spirit Hall today? What do you think?"

Li Zongyu naturally had no objections and thanked Lin Yu with a salute.

Afterward, he returned to the village, found Wang Hu, and brought Wang Hu to the Spirit Branch Hall.

"Lord Spirit Master, these two children are entrusted to you. Please take good care of them in the future." Li Zongyu bowed respectfully to Lin Yu again.

Lin Yu returned the salute and said, "Rest assured, our Spirit Hall will never let you down."

Lin Yu took Zhou Huan and Wang Hu and boarded the carriage she had arrived in, heading toward Wuhun City.

Zhou Heng felt the fast speed of the carriage and began to think about how he should cultivate in the future.

Just as Zhou Heng was lost in thought, Lin Yu's voice rang in Zhou Heng's ear, "Little Heng, what kind of martial soul is that blue-and-white little box of yours? Does it have any abilities?"

Lin Yu's words brought Zhou Heng back to his senses. Zhou Heng looked at Lin Yu's inquisitive eyes, calmed his mind, thought for a moment, and said, "My martial soul is named Battle Instrument; it possesses the ability to subdue Spirit Beasts, can control and amplify the combat power of Spirit Beasts, and helps me fight."

Zhou Heng's words shocked Lin Yu immensely. This ability to subdue and control Spirit Beasts possessed extremely strong strategic value; she just didn't know if there was a limit to the number of Spirit Beasts this martial soul could subdue.

Lin Yu asked Zhou Heng the doubt in her heart. After hearing Lin Yu's words, Zhou Huan recalled the anime and Ultraman fan-fiction novels he had read in his past life and said, "For every ten levels of soul power, I can permanently subdue one Spirit Beast and carry it with me; other Spirit Beasts can only be controlled temporarily."
