Chapter 18 – Random Draw

The numbers stopped increasing after a moment and settled within a range.

The Soul Master turned off the apparatus and took off the helmet.

“It’s done.”

Tang Wu Lin really did feel dizzy, even though he had previously only felt a slight irritation in his head. He had once seen the indistinct sight of the golden world of fused spirit souls, and now, during the test, he had once again managed to see it. He had to put in a lot of effort in order to see it clearly, and when he almost succeeded to clearly glimpse it, the test had already ended.

“It’s a pretty good number.” The Soul Master nodded and smiled at Tang Wu Lin. “You have the best spiritual power out of all the Spirit Scholars I’ve had these past few years. Your spiritual power is 38. Remember this number. I’m going to have the machine make a record for you, so you can hand it over once you attend an intermediate Spirit Master academy.

As he was unclear about the boundaries of the spiritual power system, Tang Wu Lin also wasn’t clear about the significance of having a spiritual power level of 38.

Seeing Tang Wu Lin’s perplexed expression, the Soul Master kindly explained, “Spirit Origin realm can be ranged between level 1 to 100 spiritual power.  Levels 30 and below are elementary ranked. Levels 30 to 60 are intermediate ranked. Levels 60 to 90 are advanced rank. Levels 90 to 100 is the peak of Spirit Origin. You’ve already entered Spirit Origin realm intermediate rank at such a young age; that isn’t easy at all. I’m a 28th rank Great Spirit Master, yet my spiritual power is only at level 87. With spiritual power in the intermediate rank of Spirit Origin realm, you’ll be able to fuse with a hundred year yellow spirit soul.”

This good news caused Tang Wu Lin to immediately brighten up a bit. What’s more, the Soul Master’s explanation of spiritual power had enabled him to see another magnificent side to the world of Spirit Masters.

“If you accept, then we’ll see just how good your luck is.” The Soul Master brought Tang Wu Lin directly into an adjacent room afterwards.

Inside of this much larger room, there was a three meter tall, six meter wide gigantic machine. Numerous glowing spheres with a diameter of about one third of a meter could be seen within it. Each and every one of these balls of light were exactly the same.

The Soul Master pointed at two buttons on the machine and said, “The green button is to start, the red button is to stop. After stopping, the spirit soul at that location will roll out. You may begin whenever you’re ready.”

Tang Wu Lin’s heartbeat couldn’t help but quicken in front of this odd machine. Teacher Lin Xi Meng had said before that the quality of a spirit soul played a significant role in a Spirit Master’s strength. Fusing with a strong spirit soul would help a Spirit Master upgrade their own power. On the other hand, if they fused with a weak spirit soul, the spirit skill bestowed upon them would be equally weak. A Spirit Master could have a maximum of nine spirit skills. Although it was exceedingly rare for someone to reach nine spirit rings, this just made the lower level spirit skills that much more important.

What is to be, will be.

Tang Wu Lin clenched his teeth, then bravely pressed the green button.

A succession of lights within the machine immediately began to shine, until every single ball was illuminated.

The hundred or so spirit souls within the machine slowly began to circulate. Not too long after, it reached a shockingly fast speed, giving off the feeling of being too much for one’s eyes to take in.

The spirit souls were all concealed from the outside world by the spirit soul ball. Nothing of the inner contents could be discerned by the eye. The result could only be left up to the will of the Heavens.

Tang Wu Lin’s hand rested upon the red button. Although he could normally hold a forty kilogram thousand refined tungsten hammer with steady hands, at this moment his hand had a slight tremble to it. He knew that as soon as he pressed the button, his fate as a Spirit Master would be sealed!

After breathing in forcefully, he shut his eyes and finally pressed the button.

“Bang!” The machine stopped circulating and a pure white spirit soul ball fell out of the machine, tumbling into the metal case beside Tang Wu Lin.

Tang Wu Lin subconsciously opened his eyes and turned to look. At that moment, his heartbeat was beating like a drum.

The Soul Master walked over, took out the spirit soul ball, and handed it to Tang Wu Lin.

“Come on. Take a look.”

Tang Wu Lin gasped for breath as he held the ball close to his chest. He looked at it as if it was the most precious treasure in the world.

‘I finally have it! This is my first spirit soul!’

After Tang Wu Lin tensely returned to his father, the Soul Master handed him an oval shaped device.

“When you press this button and shine the device’s light upon the spirit soul ball, your spirit soul will break out of its shell. After releasing the spirit soul, its power will belong to you.Not even speaking of Tang Wu Lin’s nervousness, Tang Zi Ran couldn’t possibly clench his fists any tighter from the anticipation of that moment. What would the result be?

Tang Wu Lin looked at his father. In return, Tang Zi Ran gave him a nod brimming with encouragement.

At the push of the button, a gentle yellow light was released from the device and fell upon the spirit soul ball. The spirit soul ball reacted by emitting a faint radiance, then slowly turned transparent. The contents within could already be vaguely seen.

Tang Wu Lin could clearly sense the breath of the being within the spirit soul ball when it made a slight movement.

‘What is it?’

The radiance emitted by the spirit soul ball turned white at that moment, and in its center, the brilliance of a shining ring was seen. The spirit soul ball slowly unfurled from the center outwards.

When he saw the white light, the Soul Master explained from the side. “It’s a ten year spirit soul.”

Tang Zi Ran’s expression darkened. In the end, the Heavens didn’t care for his son. A hundred year spirit soul worth over a million coins simply wasn’t that easy to obtain.

Tang Wu Lin’s gaze was fixed on the spirit soul ball that slowly opened up. His first spirit soul would be a ten year spirit soul, but what kind would it be?

The white light began to dissipate as the spirit soul ball opened up completely. The spirit soul inside had appeared at last.

As soon as he saw it, the soul master’s expression changed a bit. Tang Zi Ran and Tang Wu Lin were both dumbfounded.

The spirit soul was actually…
