Chapter 8: The Ordinary Martial Spirit
"Uncle, I'm five years old." Yang Jie replied truthfully.
"Five, five?" The black-haired man was so shocked that he almost screamed.
The other red-haired fat man was also very surprised, they didn't expect that they could really recruit a child under the age of six.
The two of them used to simply think that Yang Di was about the same age as the previous children, but they were born with the type of short stature.
After all, what parent would be able to get their five- or six-year-old child out to work?
And Yang Jie, combined with the other party's obviously surprised and unexpected words, as well as the prediction that this family had long been determined to be not simple, guessed what this so-called test was, that is, the soul master's soul power test.
Yang Di has now confirmed that they may really be picking maids when they choose maids, but recruiting these children is definitely selecting "downlines" who can be cultivated.
Those children before were all about ten years old, and they had awakened their martial souls in the branch hall of the Martial Soul Hall when they were six years old, but Merlin was only five years old, and the awakening of the martial soul was a year later.
According to the laws and laws of the current world that are similar to those of Gouba, it is very strange that the soul power can only be tested after awakening the martial soul, so the black-haired man's soul power test of Yang Di directly failed.
But Yang Di knew that he couldn't say it, so he pretended not to know anything and asked:
"Uncle, did I pass the test?"
"Of course, you will be a member of our family in the future, food and accommodation are all with us, a year's salary is one gold soul coin, and your parents can also come to work, and the salary will be negotiated separately." The black-haired man also recovered from the unexpected joy at this time, and with a wave of his hand, he directly gave Yang Jieyue a salary equal to three times that of ordinary child laborers.
Of course, a high salary is a good thing, but when he mentioned his father, who had never met him, and his mother, who had just died, Yang Di was still a little sad:
"Uncle, both of my parents have passed away."
The black-haired man is not a worldly master who pursues the desire to destroy people, and when he heard Yang Di say that his parents were no longer alive, he quickly put away his smile, turned to the red-haired fat man and said:
"Old Thorn, you go outside and announce which ones to keep, I'll take this little bit to see Miss, and by the way, I'll do what needs to be done."
"What, just now you're done with the good guy, and it's my turn to do the bad guy?" The red-haired fat man seemed to be a little dissatisfied, but he got up with a smile, and then walked outside "with a different heart".
The relationship between the two can be seen, and it is definitely a deep friendship for many years.
"Xiao Jie, I'll call you that, no problem, right?" The black-haired man looked at Yang Di again and said.
Yang Di nodded, his mother and neighbors all called him that.
"Come with me, this will be your home from now on." The black-haired man spoke, and left the place with Yang Jie.
The place used for recruitment was connected to the interior of the house, and Yang Di followed the black-haired man through the corridor to a completely enclosed room.
This room is very distinctive, only one door is connected to the outside, not even a window, obviously not suitable for living people, if Yang Jie to arrange, most of them will be used as a storage room.
However, in the center of the room, there were six jet-black round stones, which together formed a hexagonal pattern, which attracted Yang Jie's attention.
"Uncle, this is 。。。。。。" As a traverser, Yang Di didn't know the role of these six black stones, but he felt that he was far from the age when he needed to use these six things.
The black-haired man Quan Dangdang Yang Di didn't know anything, and explained:
"Xiao Jie, stand in the middle of the six stones, and I'll help you awaken the martial spirit."
"Awakened Martial Spirit?" Yang Di guessed what he might be doing when he saw the stone, but he was still a little surprised to hear the black-haired man say it himself:
"Uncle, I've heard others say that people only awaken their martial souls when they are six years old, and I'm only five years old now, isn't it a little early?"
The black-haired man smiled and went on to explain:
"For the sake of the future, you will have to live with us for a short time, and I will teach you the first lesson today.
Theoretically speaking, even newborn children can awaken martial spirits, but awakening at the age of six can better judge everyone's talent.
Your situation is quite special, no matter how talented you are, as long as you have soul power, we will cultivate you, a year's time, it doesn't matter. ”
Listening to the words, Yang Di smiled bitterly in his heart,
'Good fellow, this is really a thief ship!' ’
Yang Di was clearly aware of his current situation, basically saying goodbye to a peaceful life in the future, but it was useless to realize that the path he had chosen had to go on.
"Uncle, I understand." Yang replied and obediently walked to the center of the six black stones.
The black-haired man flicked his right hand, and six faint golden rays of light were injected into the six black stones on the ground, and suddenly, a layer of golden brilliance was released from the six stones, forming a pale golden light cover, enveloping Yang Jie.
A wave of warmth poured from the light mask towards Yang Jie, making his body relax involuntarily, and his thoughts were completely empty, and he didn't want to think about anything except continue to be wrapped in this warmth.
The warm current penetrated into the body, and the soul power circulating in the meridians suddenly accelerated, suddenly exceeding the limit that Yang Di could reach when he was cultivating now.
Immediately after, as if something was shattered in the body, as if some kind of boundary and seal had been broken, all the soul power in the whole body was concentrated in the right hand.
With a "bang", the golden light shield shattered, and Yang Jie's martial soul also appeared on the palm of his right hand.
It was a black round object, which at first glance looked like something indescribable, but if you look closely, you will see that it is a mass of iron sand balls composed of a large number of small black iron sand.
Yang Jie's heart moved, and the iron sand ball instantly "decomposed", changing into a short dagger, and then moving, turning into a finger tiger, and moving again, turning back into a black iron ball.
The black-haired man also felt new when he saw the change of the martial soul in Yang Jie's hand, even though he had rich experience, he had never seen such a changeable martial soul just after awakening.
"Xiao Jie, what is your martial spirit?" The black-haired man asked curiously.
"It's iron sand, to be precise, it's a mass of iron sand, which can be changed into various shapes according to my imagination, but the amount is only so much now, and the volume is not infinite." Yang replied in as much detail as possible.
"The name sounds a little ordinary, but if you use it well, it may not be as good as the martial spirits of those big families," the black-haired man commented mainly in comfort, and then took out a crystal ball out of nowhere:
"Next, let's test the innate soul power and put your hand on it."
