Chapter 2: Innate Full Soul Power
"This… this is a top-tier martial soul!"
Orphanage, Awakening Hall.
Wu Haitao exclaimed, his eyes wide with astonishment at the divine bird born from the sun.
He stared intently at Pei Qing as if looking at a rare treasure.
His body trembled slightly. Although his soul power was at least 20 levels lower, the War Tiger Martial Soul behind him was trembling constantly. A sense of submission arose in his heart. This feeling made him unable to refuse, and he even had the urge to kneel on the spot.
This was a top-tier martial soul; otherwise, how could he, with a difference of over twenty levels and three soul rings, feel such a desire to submit?
Looking at Pei Qing in awe, Wu Haitao could not help but secretly envy the old dean's good luck.
This time, the empire would probably reward the old dean generously, and even support the orphanage more in the future.
Just because there is a genius like Pei Qing, the entire orphanage can receive support and care from the empire.
This was the prestige of a top-tier martial soul genius!
"Let's test the spirit power!"
Although he had already believed in his heart that Pei Qing's soul power was not low, he still needed to go through the necessary procedures.
Pei Qing awoke from his perception of the Golden Crow Martial Soul, placed his hand on the crystal ball, and looked at Wu Haitao and the old dean with encouraging eyes.
Suddenly, a dazzling light shone throughout the hall.
The crystal ball was like the most dazzling pearl, flashing with intense light.
"This... this is the innate full soul power!"
"God bless my empire! God bless my empire!"
Wu Haitao's eyes suddenly looked at Pei Qing more ardently, as if he were gazing at a rare treasure.
"It is indeed the innate full soul power."
Pei Qing looked at the dazzling crystal ball and thought with an unchanged expression.
When awakening his martial soul, Pei Qing had a premonition that he might possess the innate full soul power.
After all, even a martial soul like the Soft Bone Rabbit could have innate full soul power, so it wasn't excessive for his Golden Crow, which possessed a divine beast bloodline, to have innate full soul power.
"Child, are you willing to join the Crown Prince's Mansion? If you are, I can help recommend you!"
"When His Royal Highness sees you, he will reward you generously. With your talent, you will also receive corresponding resources. You might even become a Titled Douluo in the future."
Heaven Dou Empire, Prince's Mansion?
Now Qian Renxue should have started implementing her foolish undercover plan.
Joining the Prince's Mansion since childhood means being tied to Qian Renxue's chariot.
'Whether I should agree or not is a tough decision. To be honest, this is a little risky.'
'Damn! I don't have the right to choose at all. With Wu Haitao's eager look right now, even if I don't agree, he might still take me directly to Qian Renxue.'
"I agree, but I want to ask Master Haitao to lend me some money."
Since there is no real choice, it's better to think about the good side. If he binds to Qian Renxue, there will be no possibility of assassination. After all, there are two Titled Douluo watching the Prince's Mansion at all times.
Joining might not be so bad after all.
Having convinced himself to join the Crown Prince's Mansion, Pei Qing looked at the old dean, who had painstakingly raised him, and suddenly had an idea to secure some benefits for himself.
"You want money? Okay, I have a hundred gold soul coins I received from the Spirit Hall this month. You can use them first."
"And don't call me Master. If you want, just call me Brother Tao."
Wu Haitao was so happy that he took out a canvas wallet from his pocket, which contained hundreds of gold soul coins. After taking it out, he stuffed it directly into Pei Qing's hand.
"Xiao Qing, what are you doing? When did I ever teach you to ask for money from others? Hurry up and give it back to Brother Tao."
The old dean, standing nearby, looked a little anxious. How could he rely on his talent to ask for money from a soul master?
He saw that Pei Qing was born with full soul power and could join the Prince's Mansion. What if he was looked down upon by the prince because of this little money?
"Old Lin, it's just a few gold soul coins. There's no need to scold the child like this."
Wu Haitao didn't feel sorry for his 100 gold soul coins at all. At this moment, he even wanted Pei Qing to trouble him more.
After all, the more Pei Qing troubled him, the more he could leave a good impression.
A top-level martial soul genius with full soul power, joining the Prince's Mansion, would at least be a future Soul Douluo, possibly even a Titled Douluo. Not holding on to such a promising talent would be foolish.
"Thank you, Brother Tao!" Pei Qing looked at Wu Haitao gratefully.
"No need to thank me. Why are you so polite? If you need any help, just tell me directly."
Wu Haitao looked at Pei Qing with a gentle expression. He genuinely hoped for Pei Qing to make progress.
"Grandpa Dean, these gold soul coins are for you. You've worked hard to take care of me all these years. Now that I have the ability, you don't have to be so tired anymore."
Pei Qing had a warm smile on his face as he handed the wallet to the old dean, his tone sincere.
The old dean's face was complicated; he looked at Pei Qing with touching and reluctant eyes.
"Xiaoqing, you should use this money for your future. You should keep it yourself. Grandpa has money—how could I take your money?"
The old dean quickly refused, while taking out several gold soul coins from his pocket.
"Alright, Old Lin, Xiao Qing is giving it to you, just take it. With Xiao Qing's talent, how could the Crown Prince lack rewards for him? He'll see all sorts of good things then."
"It's just a few gold soul coins. If I tell you to take it, just take it."
"If you don't take it, I won't be able to take Xiao Qing to the Crown Prince's Mansion. What, do you not want Xiao Qing to join the Crown Prince's Mansion anymore?"
The old dean paused and snatched the wallet from Pei Qing's hand.
"Master Wu is right. Xiaoqing, hurry up and pack your things."
"Go directly to the Crown Prince's Mansion. After entering, you must practice diligently and never offend His Royal Highness."
Pei Qing watched this scene, and a wry smile appeared on his face. Although he knew the dean always wanted to produce some soul masters from the orphanage, wasn't this a bit too hasty? The Crown Prince's Mansion was right there; it wasn't going anywhere.
Half an hour later, at the entrance of the orphanage, Pei Qing and Wu Haitao stood together, facing the old dean who was excitedly saying goodbye.
Before departing, the old dean continued to impart his experience on how to please nobles to Pei Qing, as if worried he would offend the prince and be sent back.
"Okay, I got it. Goodbye, Grandpa Dean, Brother Tao and I leaving now. I'll come to see you when I have time."
