Douluo's holy sword

Chapter 292-Awakening
Xiaogan Village.

Village head Jerry put on his best suit early in the morning and waited at the gate of the village.

Today is the day when another group of children in their village awaken their martial souls at the age of six.

Usually at this time, the big city closest to their village, the master soul masters of the Wuhun Temple in Fran would send people to awaken the Wuhun for their children.

According to the past practice, Lord Soul Master should arrive around eight o'clock in the morning.

However, it is already 08:30 now, why is there still no one in sight!

"What the hell is going on..." Jerry paced back and forth at the entrance of the village anxiously.

Faced with this situation, he had no other choice but to wait obediently at the door.

"Well, I hope there will be a good seedling in the village today." Bored, Jerry could only think of other things to distract himself, so that he would not be too anxious.

In the past two years, there was not a single child with half-level spirit power in their village, which made him disappointed for a long time.

There was one two years ago.

That child has a soul power of level one and a half.

Although Master Soul Master said that this talent is not high, it is enough to make the whole village ecstatic.

As long as there is soul power, it means that there can be a soul master, which means that there is no need to be an ordinary person with his face turned to the loess and his back to the sky.

Even if it's just a low-level tenth-level soul master, the monthly subsidy of one gold soul coin from the Wuhun Temple is enough for him to live comfortably for a lifetime.

Not to mention, the deacon of the Wuhun Temple also said that with this talent, if you practice hard for 20 years, it is not impossible to become a great soul master.

God!Great Soul Master!A monthly subsidy of ten gold soul coins!The child's parents almost fainted when they heard the news.

You know, their family's total annual income is only a little more than two gold soul coins.

Everyone is envious of it, and all families with children under the age of six expect their children to have soul power, and some parents will sigh when they touch their children who have awakened the martial soul.

Jerry was happy for that child, because, as the village head, in his opinion, the more powerful the children in his own village, the better his village might take off.

Therefore, the more qualified children, the better...

While thinking this way, Jerry was a little dazed.

"Then what... Excuse me, is this Xiaogan Village?"

"Huh?" Jerry came back to his senses, his eyes refocused.

Only then did he realize that out of nowhere, there was a middle-aged man in red and white in front of him.

"This is Xiaogan Village. I am Jerry, the village chief. May I ask who you are..." Jerry asked cautiously.

Although the farthest road he has traveled in his life is only the distance from Xiaogan Village to Fran City, and the most powerful soul master he has ever seen is only a soul master, but after all, he has more than 60 years of experience, and Jerry still has a lot of eyesight. A little bit.

The man in front of him was handsome, tall and straight, with an aggressive temperament. Although the clothes on his body were not luxurious, Jerry could still recognize them. The fabric was definitely the best material he had ever seen.

This is a big shot!

"Oh, is this here?" The visitor breathed a sigh of relief.

"Damn it, what did that bastard mark on my map! It made me go the wrong way several times!" the man said cursingly.

"Well, my lord, you are..." Jerry's forehead was slightly sweating.

"Oh, I'm here to awaken the martial soul for the children in your village." The middle-aged man said casually.

"So it was you?" Jerry said in surprise.

"But, didn't Master Yang come here in previous years?"

"Master Yang? Who is it? I don't know him." The middle-aged man shook his head decisively.

"This..." Jerry hesitated for a moment.

Should he bring this man in?

For one thing, he had never seen this man before, and he was not the Deacon Yang of the Wuhun Palace that he had promised, so he could not confirm the authenticity of this man's identity.

However, this man doesn't seem to be lying, and, according to what he said, he seems to be a soul master, and he seems to have no way to refuse...

Seeing that Jerry hadn't moved for a long time, the middle-aged man frowned impatiently, and then a badge appeared on his hand.

"Here, do you recognize this?"

"Is this the sign of the deacon of Wuhundian?" Jerry looked at it carefully and said uncertainly.

He had seen a similar badge on the body of Deacon Yang who came to their village. However, there were only three cloud patterns on that deacon's badge, but this badge had four.

"Since you recognize it, can you take me in?" the middle-aged man urged.

"That's... okay." Jerry hesitated for a moment, and finally said.

Although he couldn't be sure, he still didn't dare to offend a master soul master.

Such a big man, shouldn't make such a joke with an ordinary person like him...

Walking on the road in the village, the middle-aged man kept looking around, as if he had never seen such a village before.

But Jerry didn't have much doubt.

In his opinion, people who can become soul masters are most likely born in nobles, and it is normal to have not seen their rural scenery.

However, there seemed to be some problems with his guess.

At this moment, what the soul master in his eyes thinks is...

"This village is much bigger than Holy Soul Village." Ye Yao thought.

That's right, it was Ye Yao who came to this remote village to awaken the martial soul for school-age children.

As for why...

Ye Yao said that he didn't want to mention this.

Just yesterday, because he was bored, he agreed to the challenge of that guy named An Yi.

Two against one, two soul sects, beat him with one soul emperor.

He proclaimed himself the fifth and sixth soul skills, and, as long as An Yi can survive ten moves, he will win.

However, the final result was that An Yi used four of his soul skills one after another under Liya's full support.

then……

Lost.

Ye Yao graciously waited for him to use up all his soul skills before knocking him down with his sword.

That's right, An Yi supported a total of five moves.

Then, An Yi, who had conceded the bet, even though his face was distorted with fear, still managed to finish eating the two flower fairy cakes in Ye Yao's hand.

And then……

"I can't do it anymore..." An Yi's face was pale, and he tried to stand still with his hand on the tree trunk.

"Didn't you just eat two pieces of cake? As for that?" Ye Yao sat on the bluestone beside him and said disdainfully.

Before the words finished, An Yi turned her head to the side again, and vomited on the ground again.

Liya hid aside in disgust, while looking at An Yi and sighing.

"This is already the fifth time... Tomorrow you have to go to another village to awaken your martial soul..."

"Leah, I might die..." An Yi sat down on the ground and moaned.

Ye Yao couldn't be bothered to watch it anymore, so he decided to run away.

I have the time to watch a man vomit all over here, wouldn't he be nice to eat in the city?

"Hey, wait!" An Yi struggled and shouted.

"What else is there?" Ye Yao turned his head and asked.

"Your name is Mordred, isn't it?"

"Yes."

"Okay, please help us go to the village tomorrow..."

"Huh? Why should I help you?" Ye Yao sneered.

"Because you made me into what I am now! I can't go anymore, so you, as the culprit, must help me complete the tasks I didn't complete!" An Yi's fox tail was exposed.

"What! What is your reason!" Ye Yao was furious.

Can this still blackmail me?

"You can't go in two days!"

"No! The Flower God Festival will be in two days!" An Yi said confidently.

"I..." Ye Yao was short of breath.

"I don't care! Anyway, I can't do it!" An Yi lay on the ground and rolled around, playing tricks.

"Hey, who cares about you!" Ye Yao was about to turn around and leave.

"If you don't go, I'll spread the news about you, a soul emperor, bullying two soul sects!"

"You!" Ye Yao was anxious.

I just did it really lightly, why didn't I beat this bastard to death!

This identity is of great use to him.

He didn't want to change his identity just because of such a small matter.

trouble!

"Hey! You don't care about this bastard?" Ye Yao looked at Liya and said angrily.

"Sorry, senior, I'm not familiar with him, so I can't control him." Liya glanced at An Yi, then turned her head away.

Then watching the smile gradually become treacherous (transformed) deceitful (state) An Yi, Ye Yao's face is expressionless...

"My lord, what is your name..." Jerry asked carefully.

"Mordred." Ye Yao subconsciously said.

"Lord Mordred...May I ask Deacon Yang of the Spirit Hall who is today..."

Ye Yao came back to his senses, looked at Jerry and frowned.

"I said that I don't know Deacon Yang. I was entrusted by a guy named An Yi to help people in your village awaken their martial souls."

"This..." Jerry thought for a while, and realized that he probably had never heard of a Wuhundian deacon named An Yi.

"Then is there something important for Mr. An Yi?"

"Oh, his leg was broken yesterday." Ye Yao said indifferently.

"What!" Jerry exclaimed.

"Which villain is it! How dare you hurt the soul master of the Wuhun Temple! This kind of person should be... Jerry said angrily, completely oblivious to Ye Yao's increasingly weird expression.

"I interrupted." Ye Yao said.

Jerry's voice stopped abruptly.

"My... my lord?" Jerry's face was dripping with sweat.

Ye Yao didn't reply.

If you want to trick him into taking over the job, then you should be aware of it.

Although Ye Yao gritted his teeth in the end and acquiesced to his "request", but An Yi didn't mean that he couldn't come because of his health.

He felt that it was not enough just to have a bad stomach.

No matter what happens, I have to break a leg to justify it.

So, Ye Yao raised the brand new long sword in his hand.

Amid An Yi's screams, he was given a belated beating.

Then, under Liya's distressed gaze, she took the crystal ball, the awakening stone, and a thick awakening manual from An Yi's hand, and walked away.

But then again, even though he was cheated, Ye Yao didn't have much resentment.

Probably because he never felt any malice from An Yi from the beginning to the end.

He could feel that An Yi was a very simple soul master, not too scheming, and a little immature.

Well, although it can be said to be a bit naive in some aspects.

But not obnoxious.

In addition, Ye Yao had nothing to do in the past two days, and it was the first time for this group of people to awaken. He was also a little curious, so he agreed.

Otherwise, with his temperament, even if someone forced him, he would not agree.

"Okay, hurry up! Hurry up." Ye Yao quickened his pace.

Although Jerry deeply doubted whether Ye Yao was reliable, he had no choice but to speed up a little more when he saw this.

When approaching the center of the village, Jerry stopped suddenly.

Ye Yao also stopped in doubt.

Before he could ask Jerry what was going on, Jerry suddenly stepped aside.

Jerry walked to a somewhat dilapidated house, squatted down with great effort, and touched the head of a child who was cowering in a corner.

"What's the matter? Why don't you go and wait with everyone?" Jerry said kindly.

The child pursed his mouth tightly, shook his head, and did not speak.

Ye Yao came over and glanced at the child.

She was dressed in sackcloth that had been washed a little white, her skin was a little dry and dull, and the hair on the top of her head was a little messy, and it was obviously a little long, covering both eyes a little.

A small face is a little yellowish and lacks nutrition, and the lips are a little dry.

What impressed Ye Yao the most was the child's eyes hidden in the drooping hair.

It's like a child looking forward to the light and hope on the one hand, but fearful at the same time, so he has to timidly look at the eyes of the world.

This child...Ye Yao doesn't know how he feels in his heart.

Kind of weird...

"Oh." Jerry sighed, then stood up tremblingly, and the child also stretched out his hand to help Jerry as much as he could.

"Good boy, good boy." Jerry stood up and said softly.

The child gasped softly and smiled slightly.

Turning around, Jerry saw Ye Yao's puzzled eyes, so he explained.

"Lord Mordred, this child is also one of the children who will awaken their martial spirit this year, but this child..."

After hesitating for a while, Jerry still said, "The parents of this child died of illness two years ago."

Orphans?Ye Yao thought silently.

"Is no one adopting this child?" Ye Yao glanced at the frightened child who hid most of his body behind Jerry, leaving only the small half of his head sticking out, and asked.

"Oh!" Jerry sighed deeply.

"For a family like us, it's not bad to barely live a good life. How can we afford to support another child?"

"But this child is a very good child, and we don't want to see this child like this..."

"So, in the past two years, this child has been raised together in our village."

Eat this meal today, eat that one tomorrow...

Although some people are not happy, but firstly, it is agreed by most people, and his village chief Jerry has made the decision, secondly, it is only a part of one more person every month to share it with the whole village. It's just a meal, it won't cause any big burden.

Although I don't get enough to eat often, but at least it can make this child grow up well...

Their plan is to feed the child until he can live independently, around the age of thirteen or fourteen.

After that, they will not ask about his life or death any more.

In this regard, although Jerry couldn't bear it, there was nothing he could do.

After all, he doesn't have much ability to take care of a child anymore
Seeing the child's sad expression, Ye Yao didn't know what to say.

It seems that there is nothing to say.

Jerry pulled the child and continued to lead the way. Not long after, he brought Ye Yao to a house in the center of the village.

Looking at the fourteen children who were already waiting here, Jerry let go of the children's hand, motioned for him to go over and stand still, and then introduced to these children.

"This is the master soul master from the Martial Soul Hall in Flan City, Mordred, today, they will awaken your Martial Soul for you."

Looking at the children looking at him with curiosity, fear, and expectation, Ye Yao was a little dazed.

Ten years ago, it seemed that he and Tang San were the same...

"Hello." Ye Yao said softly to all eyes.

"My name is Mordred."
