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

"Little one, don't think that your Martial Soul is useless. Your Martial Soul has innate full soul power," Hou Yuntao encouraged Lin Yu. "Although it might not have combat abilities, it could possess top-tier auxiliary abilities. Your talent might be overlooked elsewhere, but if you're willing to join our Martial Soul Hall, we can definitely help you develop your potential!"

As he spoke, Hou Yuntao continued to try persuading Lin Yu to join the Martial Soul Hall. "Why don't you reconsider? If you join our Martial Soul Hall, we'll send you to the best Soul Master Academy. Not only will there be no tuition fees, but you'll also receive a scholarship, and during holidays, we'll arrange special transport to take you home."

Whoa! That's some pretty sweet treatment! Lin Yu thought, surprised by Hou Yuntao's offer.

However, there were reasons why Lin Yu wasn't ready to join the Martial Soul Hall just yet. On one hand, he genuinely hadn't decided what to do in the future. If his cheat system were like the typical ones he had read about in novels from his previous life, he wouldn't need the Martial Soul Hall and wouldn't join. But unfortunately, his cheat system was unconventional, though still usable. This made Lin Yu hesitant about whether or not to join the Martial Soul Hall.

On the other hand, Lin Yu felt that, as someone with innate full soul power, he shouldn't agree too easily to Hou Yuntao's offer. He didn't expect the Pope of the Martial Soul Hall, Bibi Dong, to personally come and invite him multiple times. But if his existence could reach the ears of Bibi Dong in the Martial Soul City, and then someone from the Martial Soul Hall was sent to recruit him, he would likely be treated with greater importance if he eventually agreed to join.

Therefore, Lin Yu politely declined.

"Sorry, Soul Master, but I haven't made up my mind yet. I'll give you an answer later!" Lin Yu said.

"Little one, where are your parents? I'll talk to them," Hou Yuntao persisted, unwilling to give up. He was not used to his invitations being rejected, especially since they represented the powerful Martial Soul Hall. But considering the child was born with innate full soul power, he wasn't particularly upset—geniuses often had their quirks.

"There's no need for that. My parents have already passed away, and now I live alone," Lin Yu responded, scratching his head with a somewhat "shy" smile.

This answer nearly made Hou Yuntao spit blood in frustration. You mention your parents are dead, and instead of being sad, you're acting bashful? But knowing that Lin Yu was alone only made Hou Yuntao more conflicted. Lin Yu didn't want to agree, and without parents to persuade, Hou Yuntao was at a loss.

He considered forcibly taking Lin Yu to the Martial Soul Hall headquarters, but that went against his conscience and carried significant risks. What if this genius named Lin Yu held a grudge and sought revenge later? As an ordinary Grand Soul Master from a remote area, Hou Yuntao couldn't afford to provoke a genius with limitless potential.

With a sigh, Hou Yuntao decided to return and send a letter to the Martial Soul Hall headquarters, informing them to send someone to bring this genius back. While it wasn't the perfect outcome, he would likely still receive a substantial reward.

...

After failing to recruit Lin Yu, Hou Yuntao, feeling regretful, packed up his things, opened the door to the Martial Soul Sub-Hall, and stepped outside. As soon as he did, the village chief, old Leo, along with several parents, eagerly gathered around him.

"Soul Master, how did our village's children fare in their Martial Soul awakening this time? Were any of them able to become Soul Masters?" Old Leo asked hopefully.

"One of them did, and not just that—this child has innate full soul power. Your village's future is bright!" Hou Yuntao replied, his gaze sweeping over old Leo and the other villagers, his tone filled with emotion.

"Innate full soul power!!" Old Leo and the other villagers were stunned by Hou Yuntao's words, unable to react for a moment.

By the time the villagers had recovered from their shock, Hou Yuntao had already left to conduct more Martial Soul awakenings in nearby villages.

Fortunately, Lin Yu, along with Goudan, Shizhu, and Erya, emerged from the Martial Soul Sub-Hall.

Seeing them, old Leo and the other parents immediately asked, "Children, who among you has the potential to become a Soul Master and possesses innate full soul power?"

"It's Brother Yu!" Goudan, Shizhu, and Erya all pointed to Lin Yu, their faces full of admiration.

Lin Yu, however, maintained a modest expression.

"Little Yu, I didn't expect it to be you!" Old Leo exclaimed with delight. "Your late parents would be so proud of you!"

Old Leo was especially fond of Lin Yu due to his maturity and well-behaved nature, much like how old Jack had favored Tang San. Now that he knew Lin Yu was a genius with innate full soul power, old Leo was confident that Lin Yu would make the most of this talent.

After some more conversation, Lin Yu left the simple Martial Soul Sub-Hall in the village center and returned to his home on the outskirts of the village.

Once home, Lin Yu began experimenting with his newly awakened Chaos Green Lotus Martial Soul. However, perhaps due to his still-low level of power, Lin Yu found that his 10th-level soul power could only sustain the manifestation of the Chaos Green Lotus Martial Soul for less than three minutes. Additionally, he couldn't yet activate any of the Martial Soul's special abilities.

While it was true that not all Martial Souls had special abilities—examples like the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon with its innate lightning powers and the Seraphim with its purifying light were rare—Lin Yu was convinced that the Chaos Green Lotus Martial Soul had unique capabilities. It seemed that his current level of power was simply too low to access them.

...

As time passed, seven days quickly went by.

Amidst a mixture of tension, fear, excitement, and anticipation, the second live quiz finally began.

On this day, Lin Yu stayed at home. As the clock struck 10 AM, his vision suddenly went dark. When his sight returned, he found himself in a vast, deep space resembling a vacuum in the universe.

At the same time, a virtual screen appeared in his field of view. However, the event being broadcast did not start immediately.

The contract has been printed and will be mailed today. It is expected to be signed next Monday, after which updates will increase to two chapters daily! Additionally, after the second live broadcast ends, the necessary setup will conclude.

Next, we will begin to expose Tang Hao, Tang San, and the Grandmaster, and their trials will commence. Stay tuned!
