Chapter 147. I'm the One You're Looking For.
Two Flowers Bloom, Each Showing
Its Own Beauty. Hua Qiang and Lan Lan arrived in the Astaka region and first sought out Jia Ping's family.
"Sister, what's the matter with you?" Jia Ping asked.
"Jia Ping, I have a question for you. If I could give you the power to rebel against the Star Luo Empire, but the price was giving up your Martial Soul, what would you choose?" Hua Qiang asked.
Every Martial Soul is a legacy passed down from one parent. Jia Ping was silent for a moment, then said,
"If the Star Luo Empire hasn't driven Astaka out yet, where would I be able to call home?"
Then, Jia Ping smiled and said, "Sister, are you kidding?"
Hua Qiang unfolded several cards in front of him and asked, "These cards represent different Martial Souls. Which one do you prefer?"
Jia Ping glanced at them, pointed to the middle card, and said, "I like this one."
Hua Qiang took the card out and examined it: Super Beast Martial Soul: Flying Bear Martial Soul!
"Tell me, sister, why?"
Jiaping said, "I know. The Martial Spirit inherited by the Xingluo Empire's royal family is a wingless tiger, and the one I chose is a winged tiger. A winged tiger fighting a wingless tiger is like hanging on its head."
"Sister, what kind of Martial Spirit is this?"
"It's the Flying Bear Martial Spirit," Hua Qiang explained.
"Flying Bear? How can it be a bear? I clearly saw a white tiger," Jiaping said.
Hua Qiang said, "Tiger with Wings is Flying Bear."
Jiaping nodded, half-comprehending. Hua Qiang took out the Flying Bear Martial Spirit Card and used it. The Flying Bear transformed into a golden light and flowed into Jiaping's body. Jiaping felt his Martial Spirit undergo a subtle transformation.
He felt like a dormant tiger.
Through the innate spirit power test, after the spirit was replaced, Jiaping's innate spirit power was instantly increased to full innate spirit power.
A few days later, a school called the Astaka Advanced Soul Master Academy was established in the Astaka region. The Spirit Hall spirit masters brought by Hua Qiang roamed the region, helping those unable to awaken their spirits to do so free of charge. They also selected outstanding candidates to attend the Astaka Advanced Soul Master Academy.
This incident naturally caught the attention of the Astaka Governor of the Star Luo Empire. At the Astaka Governor's Mansion in the Star Luo Empire, several soldiers escorted a spirit master with blocked spirit power.
Astaka Governor Zhang Ming looked at the spirit master and said, "Do you know your sin?"
The spirit master replied, "Governor, I don't know where my sin lies."
"Hmph, you don't know?" Zhang Ming sneered. "In the Astaka region, helping Astaka people awaken their spirits is forbidden. You have violated the laws of the Star Luo Empire. Tell the truth about your backer, and perhaps you can save your life."
"I'm a teacher at the Astaka Advanced Soul Master Academy. Beyond that, I have nothing else to say," the spirit master replied.
"No comment, right?" Zhang Ming said with a grin, and said to the soldier, "Send him to prison, I won't be afraid of not being able to pry open his mouth."
After escorting the soul master away, Zhang Ming said, "This kind of person should not be an ordinary person. He dares to awaken the martial spirits of these pigs on the territory of my Xingluo Empire. He is so brave. Humph, search for him and arrest him."
"Yes, Governor."
That night in the prison, the soul master was tied to a cross, and an interrogator placed a pile of torture instruments in front of him. From other cells, there were bursts of execution sounds and prisoners' screams of pain.
The torturer produced a handful of instruments, wiped them, and said, "There's an old saying in Xingluo: 'Everything matters.' Wei Junjie, I believe these instruments will surely crack your lips. I hope you will cooperate with us; we will not treat you unfairly."
"Then I tell you, no comment," the spirit master said.
"Then I can only..." The torturer produced a branding iron and was about to speak when a fragrant aroma filled the prison. The scent of roses lulled the torturer, the soldiers, and the prisoners into a deep sleep. The only conscious person in the dungeon was the spirit master.
The spirit master was overwhelmed with excitement. Her Majesty the Rose had come to rescue him.
A voice reached his ears.
"I'm busy now. I've unlocked your spirit power through the pollen. Escape on your own."
"Yes, Her Majesty the Rose." Having freed himself from the spirit blockade, and with everyone in the dungeon asleep, the spirit master easily escaped.
The Governor's Mansion was a heavily guarded castle. Zhang Ming walked to the balcony, holding a blood-red wine. He sipped it while gazing at the bright moon in the sky. It was a truly relaxing experience.
However, from within the castle, the sound of high heels echoed.
Zhang Ming, irritated by the sound, said unhappily, "I told you to knock before entering my house. Also, don't bother me at this hour."
"You have no right to order me around. I'm not your subordinate," an unfamiliar voice reached Zhang Ming's ears.
Governor Zhang Ming froze, lowering his tall cup and gazing into the gloom.
A woman in a dress and rosy-haired hair emerged from his room in the castle and stepped onto the balcony.
"Who are you?" Zhang Ming eyed the woman warily.
Hua Qiang said, "I'm the person you're looking for."
Zhang Ming was stunned, then quickly realized what was happening. He said, "You're the one who helped those pigs awaken their martial spirits in the Astaka region."
Hua Qiang nodded.
Zhang Ming stood up. He didn't sense any spiritual power fluctuations from Hua Qiang, so he attacked.
"Silver Moon Wolf Possession!" Under the moonlight, a silver wolf's cry echoed, and Zhang Ming transformed into a silver wolf with a human body and a wolf's face.
Seven soul rings of yellow, purple, and black descended.
Under the full moon's light, the silver wolf Zhang Ming now possessed even greater strength than.
"Just when I was agonizing over how to capture you, you walked right into my trap. Don't you know that my martial spirit increases by twenty percent under a full moon?" Zhang Ming said, stepping towards Hua Qiang.
His pace quickened, and he leaped up, extending his wolf claws to grab Hua Qiang.
However, the next moment, behind Hua Qiang, at the castle's exit, three dark green thorn whips emerged from the entrance, tightly entangling Zhang Ming's claws and feet.
"A Soul Saint's strength increased by 20%, what difference does it make to me?" Hua Qiang snapped her fingers and looked at Zhang Ming with amusement.
Then, under Zhang Ming's gaze, Hua Qiang's soul rings fell one by one.
