Chapter 12: A Strange Soul
After Su Ren and other juniors of the Su family gathered in the martial arts arena, an elder was responsible for counting the number of people. Su Gao'an didn't see Su Xie at this time, his face was gloomy as water, and he sneaked out of the martial arts arena while the previous elders and family masters were not paying attention.
"Silence!" Su Zhiwu shouted, and the hustle and bustle of the martial arts arena suddenly stopped, and everyone looked at Su Zhiwu.
"Head of the family, why did you call us here?" said a man standing in the circle of his descendants, it seemed that he had a great relationship with Su Zhiwu, otherwise he would not dare to ask questions as a junior on such an occasion.
Su Ren also pricked up his ears at this time, he was also very curious, what was it to gather the juniors, and in the memory of living in Tongzhou City for more than ten years, there was no figure of this white-robed old man, excluding him as a strong man who was not born in other families, then there was only one possibility, this white-robed old man must be from a big city like Huayang City, or even Qingyang County!
There was no one in the audience who was not curious, not to mention the juniors of the Su family, and even Su Zhiwu himself did not know. The old man in the white robe only told to let the juniors come back, but he didn't say anything.
"Su Kang, don't talk too much, you'll know later. Su Zhiwu said in a flat tone, and then he turned his head and cautiously tested: "Senior, look?"
The white-robed old man was holding a cane in his right hand, and when he heard the words, he gently slammed the cane to the ground, and in an instant, the wind in the martial arts arena was fierce, and the sky became dark. Everyone panicked, and those elders above the sixth order were okay to say, they just frowned. The juniors are different, and some have even begun to shout as if they are seriously injured.
"Hmph!" the white-robed old man snorted lightly, and those juniors who were shouting and screaming instantly fell to the ground as if they had lost their souls.
Su Zhiwu was shocked in his heart, endured not to let his emotions fluctuate, and slowly asked, "Senior, why are you doing this?"
The white-robed old man opened his mouth, as if he had said something, but the rest of the elders didn't hear any sound, but Su Zhiwu calmed down and didn't ask again.
"You can call me Bai Lao, and next, I will help you awaken your soul in advance!" As soon as the white-robed old man's words fell, Su Zhiwu and the other elders instantly widened their eyes, looking extremely incredible.
Su Ren also had a question mark on his face, he learned from the family's library that the martial artist would open the Yuan vein from the fourth to the fifth order, and there was no record of awakening the soul on it! But he saw that some of the people around him were full of joy, it seemed that these people knew what was going on, Su Ren was puzzled, and thought to himself, could it be that the family even guards against its own people, and the information in the library is all fake?
Then this is too insidious, the water of the family is really deep, half-truths and half-truths, it is better to leave early.
Then under Su Zhiwu's instructions, the juniors of the Su family lined up one by one and came to Bai Lao. I saw that Bai Lao took out a dark blue gem the size of a disc, the gem was flat, and when he looked at it, it made people confused.
In fact, this gem is also known as the Awakening Stone, which is specially designed to help warriors awaken their souls. And the life soul, as the name suggests, is innate to the martial artist, similar to the soul, but different from the soul, it should be with the improvement of the cultivation realm, it will slowly awaken, and a few demonic geniuses will awaken the life soul when they step into the martial arts to become a martial artist.
And most of the people with poor qualifications may not be able to awaken their souls independently in the martial arts stage, so they will use the Awakening Stone, but the Awakening Stone is not a cheap item, and its function alone knows that it will not be an ordinary thing. A small family like the Su family has only heard of it, but it has not. And if the qualification is poor, the martial artist stage cannot awaken the life soul independently, but there is no awakening stone to assist in awakening, only when it breaks through to the martial yuan realm, the life soul will awaken 100% independently.
In addition to assisting in cultivation, the life soul also has many functions, of course, there is one of the most commonly used, that is, as a weapon! This effect may not be big in the martial arts realm, because the life soul condensed at the beginning is still extremely fragile, and it has not been formed, if someone has just condensed the life soul of the martial artist to use the life soul as a weapon, the other party only needs to gently pat the life soul, and then directly make that person die.
The juniors of the Su family obviously knew all this, but Su Ren didn't know. In fact, these common senses have been talked about by the elders of the Su family when they are performing martial arts on weekdays, but Su Ren can't come in at that time.
As for the library room, there is no use to record, first, because these materials were collected by the ancestors of the Su family a long time ago when they first established the Su family in Tongzhou City, and later there were special elders responsible for explaining, so there was no update of the information; 。
The juniors of the Su family excitedly lined up in front of Bai Lao, except for the dozens of people who were stunned by Bai Lao, there were only about 20 juniors standing here.
"Hmm, it's actually a beast life soul! Awakening is the second stage of the Void Realm, not bad, not bad. Standing in front of Bai Lao was a young man who thought he was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and his face bloomed with a smile when he heard this, and the young man's excited hands tightly grasped the corners of his clothes.
Su Ren only saw a snake shadow faintly appearing above the young man's head, and there were two faint halos around the snake shadow, which disappeared in a flash, and then disappeared in the young man's body. He muttered to himself, "I see, what should I be?" ”
Combined with the situation at the scene and Bai Lao's short words, he understood what a life soul was. After the boy awakened his life soul, he was followed by the next person.
"The spear life soul, the imaginary realm, is not bad. ”
"The cold sword life soul, a section of the virtual realm, not bad. ”
......
helped more than 20 people awaken their souls in advance, and when Su Ren saw that Su Xuanyun's soul was a mirror, he couldn't help but muttered to himself: "Mirror? ”
Because Su Ren didn't stand with them when he came to perform martial arts, when he lined up, he naturally came last. When the people in front of him finally awakened and completed, this came to Su Ren.
He stood in front of Bai Lao, and when he saw the other party looking at him, he showed a kind smile from time to time. For a while, many thoughts flashed in his heart, from the divine soul shock of the martial arts arena to the respect of the elders of the Su family for this white elder, this must be a strong man. A strong man who looks old, what did he want when he came to the Su family to do this?
Su Ren went through all the routines that might appear in his mind at present, and came up with two possibilities, first, this old man wanted to find a talented person to inherit the mantle; second, that was the bad side, this old man's time was short, and he wanted to find someone with a special physique, and he would like to give up and be reincarnated!
As soon as he thought of the second possibility, Su Ren shuddered, he had the urge to turn around and run, no matter how much benefit he wanted, what could he not get if there was a system?
But standing in front of this old man who was like an ordinary person and did not have a trace of the unique aura of a martial artist on his body, Su Ren felt that he was standing in front of such a strong man, his legs were not trembling, and he himself wanted to give himself a thumbs up.
However, Su Ren's idea was best not to let Su Ying and the others know, otherwise there would be a burst of ridicule.
"What's your name?" asked Bai Lao with a faint smile.
The name is over, why don't you ask other people's names, but you want to ask my name, what is this bad old man going to do? Su Ren was flustered, but on the surface, he still said humbly: "Go back to the seniors, the younger Su Ren." ”
"Don't call me a senior, just call me Bai Lao. ”
"Yes, Bai Lao. ”
Su Zhiwu stood beside Bai Lao, and saw that Bai Lao did not talk to anyone else, but only to Su Ren, his eyes changed slightly. And in the rear of the elders, Su Huaishan's face was extremely ugly when he heard this, and the letter he sent to Wuhu Village a few days ago had news, and he wanted to let Su Ren escort a batch of goods through the territory of Wuhu Village on the grounds of the family task, and let them kill Su Ren on their behalf!
But now this white-robed powerhouse didn't talk to others, but talked to Su Ren, what did it mean? Su Huaishan knew in his heart that if there was any benefit, or if this white-robed powerhouse wanted to accept apprentices, the first one would be Su Ren. If he wants to kill Su Ren again, it will be difficult to climb to the sky!
There must be a father and a son, and Su Huaishan has the same idea as Su Ying, his awakened life soul is a long sword, and he has not even reached a section of the virtual realm, and it is also the weakest one of the life souls except for Su Ren, most of the others are a period of the virtual realm, it can be said that awakening is a virtual realm, but he Su Ying has not even reached the virtual realm.
It can be said that the path of martial arts in this life is not too far, and in the absence of chance, I am afraid that it is a question of whether or not the Kaiyuan vein can be smoothly.
The awakening stone in Bai Lao's hand seemed to have a rune light flickering, and then it burrowed into Su Ren's body. Su Ren only felt a throbbing in the depths of the meridian flesh and blood, and something was about to be pulled out by this force. When he broke through to the second order, he felt a strangeness in his body, as if he was about to break out of the veins, and this time he understood, it turned out to be his own life soul.
Not much.
Whew......
Above Su Ren's head, a thick dark black book rose up, the pages of the book flipped through autonomously, and there was a turbid aura on it, which seemed to be real and virtual, and it was also a virtual realm.
But wait, why is my life soul a book? Su Ren looked at Bai Lao blankly, as if waiting for the other party to explain.
As soon as Su Ren's life soul came out, the audience was in an uproar, Su Huaishan and Su Ying and other people who hated Su Ren all sneered, they looked at Su Ren with disdain, thinking that waste is waste after all, and they were bullied back then, and they will only have the life of being bullied in the future. Su Huaishan was also relieved in his heart, and now he could finally take Su Ren's life as planned.
The elders of the Su family were also extremely surprised, they were all martial artists above the sixth order, and most of them had awakened their own life souls, and they had lived for most of their lives, not to mention being well-informed, at least in this Tongzhou City, they had not seen anyone whose life soul was a book.
Su Zhiwu and the other elders all looked at Bai Lao with suspicious expressions, and they were also waiting for this strong man to explain to everyone.
"It's actually a book?" Bai Lao looked at the dark black book flickering above Su Ren's head, and his brows furrowed. This change really exceeded his expectations, after sensing that Su Ren's divine soul strength was far greater than that of the same people at the beginning, he originally thought that Su Ren's life soul would be very powerful, even a double life soul, or a different life soul, but he didn't expect it to be a book that he hadn't even seen before!
Then this can be regarded as a xenomorph life soul, but it doesn't seem to be of much use!
Su Ren saw Bai Lao frowning, and shouted in his heart, even this kind of strong man frowned, so it can be seen that although this life soul is also a virtual realm, it is not much better.
The atmosphere at the scene was a little weird, some people had mockery in their eyes, some people were full of doubts, and Bai Lao was thinking in his heart, whether to choose Su Ren to inherit his mantle.
He has already found major cities, all the way from Qingyang County, and wants to find that opportunity to continue his life, but he knows that time is short, and he is afraid that he will sleep in another month, so he has the idea of finding someone to pass on what he has learned in his life. While looking for an unknown opportunity, while looking for a suitable successor.
In the end, Bai Lao sighed lightly and said, "The Black Book Life Soul, a section of the Void Realm, is good. ”
With this words, Su Ren was excluded from the inheritor, and he was defined as just an ordinary martial artist like the other children of the Su family. However, everyone can see that this black book life soul is not looked down on by Bai Lao, and it is not even as good as an ordinary sword life soul.
This black book life soul was integrated into Su Ren's body, Bai Lao also put away the awakening stone, everything seemed to be over, no one in the Su family satisfied him, and he was ready to go to the next place.
Bai Lao turned around, took Su Zhiwu aside, said something to him, and handed him something, the movements of the two were very secretive, and everyone couldn't see what it was, only that after Bai Lao finished explaining, he left on crutches.
As soon as Bai Lao left, the sharp sword hanging in the hearts of the elders of the Su family was put down. Su Zhiwu said to a junior: "It's all gone." ”
Then he left with a group of elders.
