On the sky, the sunset is approaching, the orange sky has a hint of coolness, and the sunset is like a beautiful oil painting.

The evening breeze blows, with a wisp of elegant fragrance.

The delicate maple leaves are swaying in the wind, and the leaves slowly fall to the ground, and under the trees, it is like a sea of flames.

It is a maple forest that has been around for thousands of years.

Close to the maple forest is a small village, called Maple Village, the population of the whole village is only about 1,000 people, the people here live a simple life, busy in the fields during the day, a group of people gather in the square at the entrance of the village at night to chat and blow the evening breeze, the fatigue of the day seems to be carried away by the wind.

The children grow up carefree, but when these children reach the age of six, they will usher in the most important milestone moment in their lives, which is the awakening of the martial spirit!

This is a world without fighting spirit, without magic, there are, just the gorgeous martial souls, martial souls can be anything, no one knows how many types of martial souls there are, because it will continue to appear new varieties over time.

There is a small wooden house next to the square, which is used to awaken the martial spirit of children who have reached the age of six, and every year the empire sends people to the village to help the children awaken.

Once a child has soul power, the future of the family will be greatly improved, so this can be said to be the most anticipated day.

Today, it is the annual awakening day, and early, the villagers have finished their dinner and wait quietly outside the wooden house.

At a glance, there are only two or three hundred people standing together.

The dense voices of words came and went, so lively.

There are not many children who awaken martial spirits today, there are only seven people in total.

Outside Maple Leaf Village, there was a fairly delicate carriage, and there were two people in the carriage, a groom and another young man with a calm atmosphere, this person was no more than twenty-five years old, he was wearing a gorgeous white suit, his face was elegant, his figure was slender, and he had a faint smile on his face, but there was a trace of tiredness under the smile.

Shen Tianlei stroked his forehead and said to himself: "It's still too difficult for a small village to awaken the martial soul, and today I have walked twelve villages, and there are only five children with innate soul power, alas! ”

A long sigh came out of his mouth, he was the soul master responsible for helping the village awaken the martial spirit, twelve villages came, he also saw the loss and sadness, of course, the joy he also saw with his own eyes.

Twenty years ago, he had the same expectations as these children.

"I hope this village will surprise me at the end of the day!" Shen Tianlei saw a quiet and peaceful village through the window of the carriage, and muttered in his heart.

At the entrance of Maple Leaf Village, there were three people waiting expectantly, and one of the old men was looking intently at the official road outside the village, as if he was waiting for someone.

A strong man on the side glanced at the old man, and said in a respectful tone: "Don't worry, village chief, Master Shen will definitely come." ”

The old man is the village chief of Maple Leaf Village, called Crane, who is over seventy years old this year, and he is already rickety.

Crane looked into the distance with cloudy eyes, and sighed: "I'm not worried about these, for so many years, there have been too few children with soul power in our village, I'm worried about these children, after all, the profession of soul master is the most noble profession in our Douluo Continent, as long as you become a soul master, you don't know how much better life is." ”

Hearing this, the two strong men standing on the side looked at each other and sighed in their hearts, obviously they also had a lost past.

Almost ten minutes passed.

On the official road, a carriage with the sound of horses' hooves trampling appeared in front of the three of them, and the carriage stopped not far from the three of them after a short time.

Crane's face relaxed, and with respect on his old face, he hurriedly stepped forward a few steps, and the other two strong men followed.

Swish!

The curtain was opened, and a young man stepped out of the carriage, and he saw Crane at a glance and said with a smile: "Senior, we meet again." ”

"Master Shen!" Crane shouted softly, his already rickety body still trying to bow down.

"I can't help it!" Shen Tianlei's face changed, and he hurriedly helped Crane who was about to bow down.

Shen Tianlei said: "You are an elder, and the kid is a junior, how can there be a rule for elders to salute juniors." ”

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Crane's wrinkled face, and he said, "Our Douluo Continent is not ranked by age, you are a soul master, and you deserve to be worshiped by old age." ”

Shen Tianlei smiled helplessly and said: "Senior, it's not too early now, let's go to the village earlier to help those children awaken their martial spirits, it is estimated that these children and their parents are also in a hurry." ”

"Good, good!" Crane nodded, then looked at the two strong men beside him, and said, "Zhenglong, Zhenghu, you go to the awakening room to make arrangements." ”

"It's the village chief!" The two strong men said respectfully, and then left.

After the two left, Crane and Shen Tianlei walked on the road in the village, and Crane couldn't help but ask: "Master Shen, can you tell the old man how many children in the village in our area can become soul masters." ”

Shen Tianlei said: "In addition to Maple Leaf Village, I have already walked twelve villages today, and there are a total of five children with soul power, three of whom are congenital first-level soul power, and the remaining two are congenital second-level, it is enough to step into the soul master in this life, but there is a high probability that it will come to this point." ”

"Five!" Crane was also frightened, this number was too small.

Shen Tianlei said: "The most fortunate thing is that the martial souls of these five children are all okay, at least they are not waste martial souls. ”

"Is that so?" Crane nodded, he still knew about the martial soul, speaking of which, he was a fourteenth-level soul master, and the martial soul was a cabbage.

He was able to become the village chief because he was a soul master.

It's all in the past, so don't mention it.

Next to the square of Maple Village, there are more and more people gathered, but I am afraid that there are more than 400 people, because the square is only so big, some people climbed directly to the tree to watch because they couldn't see it clearly.

"I don't know how long it will take for Master Shen to arrive."

"After all, Master Shen is in charge of our area, and he is also very busy, so it is normal to come late."

"I hope these seven little guys can become soul masters, we haven't had a soul master in Maple Village for almost thirty years, except for the village chief, the last one to become a soul master, alas...... Don't mention it, don't mention it. ”

I don't know what this person said, but the eyes of the people around him dimmed, as if they thought of some bad memories.

"Master Shen is here, let everyone let me!"

Just when everyone gathered together and couldn't get through, suddenly a loud shout sounded.

Everyone heard this, and then made way to the wooden house in a very orderly manner, obviously it was not the first time that everyone had done this, and they all had experience.

Whew!

After hundreds of people gave way to a passage, the next second they looked at the intersection that came to the square.

There are two people in total, one of whom everyone is familiar with, it is the village chief of his own village, and the other young man is the one who makes many people's eyes shine, because this young man is Master Shen who is responsible for awakening the martial spirit.
