"Am I still the only one?"
Mo Hui was slightly stunned upon hearing the village chief of Jiang Rong Village's words.
Although Mo Hui knew from books that the probability of commoners awakening innate spirit power was very low, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional when he heard that ten years had passed since his own awakening, and Jiang Rong Village still hadn't produced a second person with innate spirit power.
For commoners on the Douluo Continent, becoming a Spirit Master was almost the only way to cross social classes, yet the probability of achieving this was incredibly low.
This could also be seen from the number of Spirit Masters recorded by Spirit Hall; on the Douluo Continent, with a population of over one hundred million, the number of Spirit Masters was only about one hundred thousand, a ratio of less than one in a thousand.
Even if one added those hidden Spirit Masters not counted by Spirit Hall, as well as those who perished for various reasons, the probability of awakening innate spirit power would absolutely not exceed one percent.
Moreover, within this probability, the influence of families and powers must be excluded; the probability of an ordinary commoner without Spirit Master parents awakening innate spirit power was imaginable.
The village chief of Jiang Rong Village nodded and said, "This is normal. Before you, our Jiang Rong Village hadn't produced a Spirit Master for over ten years, and it's highly unlikely we will this year either."
"Who said that?"
Upon hearing the village chief of Jiang Rong Village's words, Jiang Xing, who was beside him, immediately retorted unhappily, "I can definitely awaken spirit power and become a powerful Spirit Master like Brother Mo Hui."
"Alright, alright, my grandson will definitely succeed in becoming a Spirit Master."
The village chief of Jiang Rong Village smiled and stroked Jiang Xing's head upon hearing this.
Mo Hui looked at the warm scene between the grandfather and grandson before him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.
"Oh, right!"
At this moment, the village chief of Jiang Rong Village suddenly spoke, saying to Mo Hui, "Tomorrow morning is coincidentally our village's awakening time for this year. Grandmaster Su Yuntao, the one who awakened your Spirit, should be coming to our village to awaken Spirits. If you're still here then, could you come and see the children? After all, the children of Jiang Rong Village all admire you greatly."
"I will go and see them."
After a moment of silence, Mo Hui replied.
The next day, after Mo Hui finished a night of cultivation, he arrived in front of the Spirit Hall branch in Jiang Rong Village.
At this moment, all the children in Jiang Rong Village who were about to awaken this year had been gathered here, a total of ten people.
And those children, upon seeing Mo Hui, widened their eyes and looked at him with curiosity.
Seeing this, the village chief of Jiang Rong Village smiled and said, "This is Brother Mo Hui. You all must have heard his name, right? That's right, he is the Spirit Master who left our Jiang Rong Village ten years ago, and he has now graduated from the Spirit Master Academy."
"Wow!!"
Upon hearing that this elder brother before them was a Spirit Master, and one who had come from Jiang Rong Village, the children immediately looked at Mo Hui with bright, sparkling eyes, filled with curiosity and longing.
Seeing this, Mo Hui smiled faintly and said, "I hope you can all awaken spirit power and become Spirit Masters."
After Mo Hui finished speaking, a familiar figure quickly walked over from a distance—it was Su Yuntao!
"You are…"
Upon arriving in front of the Spirit Hall branch, Su Yuntao looked at Mo Hui with some surprise, as he could sense that the person before him was a Spirit Master, and his rank was far superior to his own.
Mo Hui simply smiled and greeted Su Yuntao, saying, "I am Mo Hui, Grandmaster Yuntao, long time no see!"
"You're Mo Hui!?"
Upon hearing Mo Hui's words, Su Yuntao was somewhat shocked. He hadn't expected to meet the greatest stain on his life here.
Thinking of the achievements Mo Hui had made, Su Yuntao was filled with regret, wishing he had abducted Mo Hui to Spirit Hall even if it meant kidnapping him.
If he had done that, how could he still be here helping people awaken Spirits?
What a pity, what a great pity! Su Yuntao shook his head internally, thinking to himself.
However, despite his shock, Su Yuntao didn't forget his mission for this trip.
He arranged the awakening stones in his hand into a hexagon, then spoke to the children before him, "Line up, and step into the center of the stones one by one. I will help you awaken your Spirits."
Meanwhile, Mo Hui was also observing Su Yuntao.
"Ten years have passed, yet he's still only at rank twenty-nine. Has he been limited by his innate spirit power?"
Under normal circumstances, having innate spirit power, innate rank three spirit power, innate rank seven spirit power, and innate full spirit power are several thresholds.
Having innate spirit power means one can cultivate; innate rank three spirit power means one can cultivate to Spirit Elder; innate rank seven spirit power means there is a possibility of cultivating to Titled Douluo; and innate full spirit power represents the peak of cultivation speed, meaning one has a very high chance of becoming a Titled Douluo as long as he doesn't die.
Su Yuntao's innate spirit power was rank two, even lower than Mo Hen's innate rank two point five spirit power, which meant that without some fortuitous encounter, Su Yuntao would find it difficult to break through to Spirit Elder.
The first to awaken was a girl. She awakened one of the most common Spirits in Jiang Rong Village, wheat.
Su Yuntao merely glanced at the crystal ball and immediately announced, "Spirit: Wheat, spirit power: none!"
Seeing this scene, Mo Hui's expression was a bit strange, a strong sense of déjà vu.
Then Su Yuntao began to awaken the children of Jiang Rong Village one by one, but the more he awakened, the more disappointed Su Yuntao's expression became, because nine of the ten children in Jiang Rong Village had already awakened this year, yet none of them possessed spirit power.
Soon, only Jiang Xing remained. Encouraged by his grandfather and parents, Jiang Xing took a deep breath and stepped into the awakening array.
Then, a light golden cover enveloped Jiang Xing. After being activated by the array, a scythe-like Spirit appeared in Jiang Xing's hand.
"This scythe seems a bit different from ordinary ones."
Seeing this, Su Yuntao became interested. This type of mutated Spirit was most likely to result in innate spirit power. The last time, he had also awakened a mutated sparrow with innate rank three spirit power here.
Su Yuntao then placed the blue crystal ball in front of Jiang Xing and said, "Place your hand on it, and I will test your spirit power."
Jiang Xing nodded, then placed his tender little hand on the crystal ball.
However, after a moment, Su Yuntao sighed and said, "I'm sorry, you don't have spirit power."
Rumble—
Instantly, it was as if five bolts of lightning struck Jiang Xing's mind, and his face instantly turned pale.
No spirit power, he actually had no spirit power!
Alas~
Seeing this scene, Mo Hui also sighed, his heart somewhat complex.
Life is unpredictable. Yesterday, the other party confidently said he wanted to awaken innate spirit power and become a Spirit Master, but today his dream was directly shattered.
On the Douluo Continent, it is impossible to cultivate one's Spirit without innate spirit power. After all, not everyone is Tang San, who has Mysterious Heaven Skill to rely on, and can still achieve innate full spirit power despite not having innate spirit power himself.
At this moment, Mo Hui slowly walked forward, looking at the children who were either disappointed or crying due to failed awakenings, his heart a mix of emotions.
If he hadn't awakened Popo back then, he might have been just like them.
