Soul Land: Live Quiz, The Whole World is Exposed by Me

After making his wish to obtain the Chaos Green Lotus Martial Soul.

Lin Yu immediately felt a mysterious power infuse his body, flowing from his limbs to his core, becoming an integral part of him.

However, Lin Yu had expected that gaining the Chaos Green Lotus Martial Soul would bring some noticeable changes to his body. After all, the Chaos Green Lotus was the entity that nurtured Pangu, the legendary creator of the world in mythology.

But to his disappointment, after acquiring the Chaos Green Lotus Martial Soul, the only change Lin Yu noticed was a slight increase in his energy levels; there were no other significant alterations.

This left Lin Yu sighing in slight disappointment.

It seemed that there was no way to exploit any loopholes in the system! After making his wish, Lin Yu descended the hillside, heading back toward Windmill Village.

On his way, he noticed that many of the uncles, aunts, and elders who would usually be hard at work in the fields at this time were gathered, chattering animatedly.

Lin Yu knew they were most likely discussing the live-streaming quiz that had just occurred.

But this realization left Lin Yu with mixed feelings, prompting a sigh.

Although the appearance of the live-streaming quiz system was an opportunity for the entire Douluo Continent, this opportunity was mostly limited to the knowledgeable nobles and soul masters.

For commoners like them, except for rare exceptions like Lin Yu, the chances of benefiting from this were slim—unless they were incredibly lucky.

On the contrary, it was more likely that they would face life-threatening punishment if no one in the live-streaming room answered the questions correctly.

After all, across the entire Douluo Continent, the majority of the population were commoners.

If no one answered correctly, and a random person was chosen for punishment, the odds were higher that a commoner would be the one to suffer.

However, as the saying goes, "Heaven has a way, and there is always a chance for survival." Though the questions posed by the live-streaming quiz were tricky, or even difficult, they were not entirely without clues.

For the commoners of Douluo Continent, if they were truly willing to risk their lives for a chance to change their fate, with good luck, it wasn't impossible.

So Lin Yu didn't dwell on these thoughts for too long. He quickly adjusted his mood, humming a tune as he briskly walked back to his wooden cabin.

Today, he had finally bound himself to a golden finger and even obtained the legendary Chaos Green Lotus as his Martial Soul.

He felt it was worth celebrating!

...

Time flew by, and soon it was the next day.

Since today was the day of Martial Soul Awakening, Lin Yu woke up early.

After washing up and having breakfast, he headed straight to the village's central Martial Soul Sub-Hall.

As Lin Yu approached the Martial Soul Sub-Hall in the center of the village, he saw that quite a few people had already gathered on the lawn in front of the Sub-Hall. These were parents who had brought their children to participate in the Martial Soul Awakening.

"Hello, Uncle Lin Ya! It's been a few days, and it looks like you've gotten even stronger!"

"Good morning, Aunt Su Li! Today, I almost mistook you for Sister Lili because you seem so much younger!"

"Morning, Uncle Parker! Wow, you're looking particularly energetic today!"

...

As Lin Yu made his way toward the Martial Soul Sub-Hall, he cheerfully greeted the villagers with honeyed words, flashing a bright smile.

After greeting everyone, Lin Yu found a spot under a large tree and sat down, yawning sleepily.

He had never gotten up this early before.

While waiting for the Soul Master from the Martial Soul Sub-Hall in Kira City to arrive, Lin Yu casually observed the surroundings.

On the lawn, aside from the elders who had brought their children for the awakening ceremony, there were only four children, including Lin Yu, who were actually there to awaken their Martial Souls.

Compared to the seven participants from Holy Spirit Village, this number was noticeably smaller!

It had to be said that perhaps due to the legend of the Soul Saint, Holy Spirit Village enjoyed far better welfare than Windmill Village, where Lin Yu resided.

At the very least, Holy Spirit Village had its own working student slots.

Moreover, the Martial Soul Sub-Hall in Windmill Village was nothing more than a very basic wooden hut with a thatched roof.

Fortunately, due to its importance, the villagers had repaired many of its broken parts; otherwise, it would have looked even more rundown.

After waiting for about ten minutes.

An elderly man with graying hair and beard, leaning on a cane and dressed in a brownish-gray robe, finally arrived from afar, accompanied by a middle-aged man in a standard Martial Soul Hall uniform.

"Alright, the Soul Master from Kira City's Martial Soul Sub-Hall has arrived. Now, let the children follow the Soul Master and begin the Martial Soul Awakening!"

The elderly man, upon reaching the Martial Soul Sub-Hall, announced in his raspy voice.

"Yes, Village Chief Leo! Goudan, remember to listen to the Soul Master later, alright?"

"Shizhu, you too! Don't mess around—Martial Soul Awakening is a serious matter!"

"Er Ya, be sure to behave, understand?"

As soon as Village Chief Leo finished speaking, the parents who had brought their children for the Martial Soul Awakening began giving instructions to their kids.

Lin Yu stood up as well, heading toward the Martial Soul Sub-Hall.

"Alright, all of you, follow me inside!"

With a creak, the Guiding Soul Master opened the door to the Martial Soul Sub-Hall. Under his guidance, Lin Yu and the other three children followed him inside.

Village Chief Leo and the other villagers remained outside to wait.

Inside the Martial Soul Sub-Hall, the scene was very familiar to Lin Yu. Just like the blind Soul Master Su Yuntao from his memories, the Guiding Soul Master from Kira City also took six black round stones out of his bag and arranged them in a hexagram pattern on the ground.

Then, he placed a blue crystal ball on the table at the front of the wooden house.

"Alright, let me introduce myself. My name is Hou Yuntao, a level twenty-four Grand Soul Master. I will be your Martial Soul Guide. Whatever I say, you must follow it to the letter, understood?"

The middle-aged Grand Soul Master, named Hou Yuntao, said in a deep voice as he looked at the four children before him.

Hou Yuntao, huh? That's an interesting name!

Hearing the Guiding Soul Master's name, Lin Yu was somewhat taken aback.

But don't get any wrong ideas!

When Lin Yu said the name was interesting, he meant that he didn't expect there to be no blind Soul Master Su Yuntao here but instead a Soul Master named Hou Yuntao, with a similar-sounding name.

"You, come forward and step into the Martial Soul Awakening Array!"

While Lin Yu was lost in thought, Hou Yuntao finished speaking and pointed to the child standing on the far left—Goudan.

"Oh!"

Having learned the general procedure for Martial Soul Awakening from his older brother, Gangdan, Goudan stepped into the hexagram array with curiosity rather than hesitation.

"White Iron Rod, come out!"

As soon as Goudan stepped into the Martial Soul Awakening Array, Hou Yuntao shouted, summoning a white iron rod Martial Soul.

At the same time, two white soul rings rose from his feet, circling around him.

Next, Hou Yuntao quickly moved his hands, channeling several streams of white soul power into the black round stones that formed the hexagram array.

In an instant, countless golden light particles began to emerge from the black stones, flowing into Goudan's small, dark, and thin body.

"Close your eyes and sense your Martial Soul!"

At Hou Yuntao's command, Goudan obediently closed his eyes and began to sense the Martial Soul within his body as he felt a faint stir.

Unfortunately, in the world of Douluo Continent, the chances of commoners awakening a good Martial Soul and becoming a Soul Master were extremely low!

Goudan ultimately awakened a rake as his Martial Soul, and when his soul power was tested, it was found to be zero!

This left Goudan feeling a bit disappointed.

His family had given him the "cheap" name of Goudan not only because it was thought to bring good luck but also in the hope that he would awaken a dog Martial Soul.

This wasn't entirely impossible, as Goudan's grandfather had a dog Martial Soul and had possessed soul power, though he never became a Soul Master.

After Goudan, the next to awaken his Martial Soul was Shizhu.

However, Shizhu also awakened a trash Martial Soul with no soul power—a sickle.

As for Er Ya, she awakened the standard form of a trash Martial Soul—Blue Silver Grass!

Finally, it was Lin Yu's turn.
