Chapter 6: Su Haishan's Son? Could It Be...
Thatched Village has a special meaning to Su Lin.
Not only has he lived here for many years, but he also planted the Blue Silver Grass with his own hands, which is the foundation for his growth.
Su Lin suddenly discovered that there was a Fallen Soul Master who had been hiding here for many years, which really made his back sweat and run cold.
How much life and blood can an ordinary person have? As someone who has just become a formal soul master, he is probably the best target!
If he couldn't solve the problem of the Fallen Soul Master, he wouldn't be able to continue practicing here with peace of mind.
"Butler Su Haishan... I'm about to give you a great reward!"
Touching the book on basic meditation on his inner shirt, Su Lin's mouth curled up slightly.
In this era that belongs to the Spirit Hall, there is almost no place for Fallen Soul Masters to survive.
The Spirit Hall, which reveres the Angel God, has an extremely firm attitude towards Fallen Soul Masters, and its only options are to capture and eliminate them.
If you encounter a Fallen Soul Master that you cannot deal with, reporting to the Spirit Hall is definitely the best option.
Not only can the crisis be resolved, but you can even be rewarded.
Without telling Old John or disturbing anyone, Su Lin left Thatched Village for the first time in eight years since he came to this world.
Notting City is a small border town in the Fastino Province of the Heaven Dou Empire. It is located in the southwest and borders the Star Luo Empire and the Balak Kingdom.
Although this is just a small city, its special geographical location at the junction of three countries has brought a lot of border trade. The small villages around Notting City always get some gains every time they come here to trade agricultural products and other supplies.
Su Lin was young, and there was no adult around him, so the guards of the city couldn't help but ask him a few more questions. However, when Su Lin showed the awakening certificate of the Spirit Hall that Su Haishan had issued, they let him pass.
Compared to small villages like Thatched Village, Notting City is completely a different world.
It's not that prosperous, but it's full of dazzling things.
If he wasn't in a hurry, Su Lin would be willing to take his time to look around and see if there was any chance of finding a bargain.
But now, the only thing he wanted was to go to the Spirit Hall for help and get rid of the Fallen Soul Master.
There was no difficulty in finding the Spirit Hall, because in every city, the Spirit Hall is the most iconic building, and any passerby would know it if asked.
Soon, a dusty little boy in a white shirt stopped in front of a white stone dome building.
There were two guards outside the main gate. They looked to be in their twenties and had a faint fluctuation of soul power, which was even weaker than Su Lin's.
Obviously, they should be two soul masters who have awakened their spirits but have not yet reached the tenth level.
"Small…"
The guard had just opened his mouth when Su Lin, who didn't want to delay at all, had already revealed his spirit.
There are many people and eyes at the city gate, so there is no need to hide too much when you get to the Spirit Hall.
A small blue grass appeared in the palm of his hand, with a golden soul ring shining on it, which shocked the two Spirit Hall guards so much that they were speechless.
Envy, jealousy... complicated thoughts.
They have been practicing for many years since they awakened their spirits at the age of 6, but have not yet reached level 10!
But this child looks no more than ten years old!
It's true that people who compare themselves to others will die!
Su Lin then spoke softly, "Hello everyone, I'm here to register as a formal soul master."
To report a Fallen Soul Master, others must believe you. You must first register as a formal soul master so that your words carry enough weight.
"Ah... oh yes... please come in... just go to the reception hall and find Master Matthew. He will help you."
The two guards were already speaking a little unsteadily.
"Thanks."
Su Lin nodded, walked quickly through the main gate, and entered the Spirit Hall.
As soon as he entered the hall, Su Lin was a little shocked. Even though it was just a branch hall of spirits, it had a dome as high as 20 meters.
The murals on it depict various spirit images embedded in squares, shining with gold.
The overall feeling it gives people is that it is magnificent and grand, yet still quiet, elegant, and simple.
It didn't take much effort. Relying on his handsome appearance despite his age, Su Lin just asked the cleaning servant and came to the reception hall on the second floor.
The door was not closed, and Su Lin could clearly see what was inside.
This is a bright office. Behind a large desk sits an old man in a white soul master's uniform, leaning over the desk, seemingly processing documents.
"Knock, knock…"
Standing at the door, Su Lin knocked gently.
Hearing the noise, Matthew finally looked up. Seeing that it was a child, a kind smile immediately spread across his face. "What a polite little fellow! What can I do for you? Come in first!"
"Master Matthew, my name is Su Lin, and I'm here to register as a formal soul master!"
Su Lin walked over quickly, and without waiting for Matthew to ask, he raised his hand and summoned his spirit, the Blue Silver Grass.
"Spirit Blue Silver..."
"Grass!"
Master Matthew was interrupted before he could even finish his sentence.
Right in front of him, above the seemingly ordinary Blue Silver Grass, a solitary yellow spirit ring was so dazzling.
Although Blue Silver Grass Soul Masters who have the soul power to cultivate are rare, they do exist. However, this is the first time he has seen someone who can reach level 10 at such a young age!
He couldn't help but raise his hands to rub his eyes, and then he opened his eyes wide to look. After repeated confirmation, Matthew finally acknowledged this fact.
"Alright, put your spirit away, and don't call me Master. I'm not a Master."
"I'm over seventy years old, little Su Lin. If you'd like, you can call me Grandpa Matthew."
Matthew, who originally had a kind face, seemed even kinder now.
"Yes, Grandpa Matthew."
Su Lin called out obediently and retracted the spirit in his hand.
After eating out in the village for so many years, Su Lin has probably counted on his hands the number of people who call him grandpa. It's no big deal to call one more.
Hearing Su Lin's address, Matthew's smile became even warmer: "You have a spirit ring, which obviously means you have reached level 10 or above. As long as you test your spirit power again, you can register as a formal soul master now."
"But I still have to ask, which deacon awakened your spirit? How could they not even report a genius like you?"
Just as Su Lin was about to speak, another person suddenly walked in from outside the door.
"Master Matthew, regarding my son's succession..."
Su Haishan was halfway through his words when he suddenly realized that Su Lin was already in the room. "Who is this child..."
"Master Su Haishan, I am Su Lin, the Su Lin who bought the basic meditation method from you after you helped me awaken my spirit."
As he spoke, Su Lin even took out the book on basic meditation that he had bought from Su Haishan.
"So it's you!"
Su Haishan reacted immediately.
Although he travels to many surrounding villages every year and helps many children awaken their spirits, he still has some impression of Su Lin.
After all, no child would ever take out a Gintama coin to buy the basic meditation method from him...
"Great, so it was you who awakened his spirit!"
Anger flashed across Matthew's face. "I've already agreed to your son's matter. This year, you won't be needed to awaken spirits in the village. Let your son take his place, so that the Spirit Hall won't miss out on such a great talent again!"
Su Haishan's son?
Could it be the legendary blind Douluo Su Yuntao?
Su Lin's expression suddenly became a little strange.
