Chapter 5

After Chloe's burial, jack spoke to Lucinda with hopes of her going to the awakening chamber to see of her inner wolf had any special powers, so he could train her into a very powerful omega, so that she'd be able to protect herself next time. Lucinda had no other option but to head to the awakening hall.

 Lucinda stood nervously in the middle of the Awakening Chamber with her eyes darting all over the room, after all, she was not aware of such. Without a parent accompanying her in this strange and exciting environment, how could her mind be serene?

Right at that moment, a gentle white light shone from the Spirit Master’s hands and attracted her attention.

That white light, could it be the fabled soul power that only Alpha's possess?

While under her astonished gaze, the Alpha raised his right arm slightly. The white light vibrated before flying off towards the sky and blossoming into fireworks that illuminated the Awakening Chamber with its splendor.

Starting from the ceiling, the inscription lines filled with light as it moved towards the walls. It was as if it possessed a strong and revitalizing energy, as well as a life of its own. The lines kept lighting up until they converged below Tang Wulin’s feet.

A comfortably numbing energy crept up her legs before entering her body from her heart. Lucinda's body couldn’t help but tremble as she struggled to hold on. It felt as if her body was being electrocuted.

Everything blurred before her eyes, and an unclear image unceasingly flickered within her mind. She wanted a clear look at it, but she could only feel its flowing shadows. In the end, she was able to see it, but she couldn’t remember what it was.

From the view of the Alpha, Lucinda's body was already being enveloped in the light, and in turn, was releasing its own light. Within this ancient traditional ceremony, her Wolf's soul had been fully awakened.

“Ah——!” Lucinda suddenly screamed, causing the Alpha to jump in fright. An ordinary child usually wouldn’t feel too much during their Awakening, but an extremely low number of them would experience intense pain due to their weak bodies being unable to bear the energy.

The Alpha's body disappeared in a flash and appeared in front of Lucinda. In case the situation truly did take a turn for the worse, he would immediately stop the ceremony and ensure Lucinda's safety.

After he got close, he was astonished to see that some golden lines were flickering on Lucinda's forehead. Afterwards, those golden lines began to spread to her four limbs, creating a network of golden lines.

What kind of Wolf soul was this? This Alpha was extremely experienced; he had awakened thousands and tens of thousands of children. Yet, this was the first time he had seen the situation that was occurring in Lucinda's body.

A faint energy undulated as it was emitted from Lucinda's body. This energy originated from her lower abdomen, the most common place for soul power to appear from. Although the energy was feeble, its existence was undoubtedly real.

The Alpha was pleasantly surprised, this was a Wolf's soul with soul power! Most of the time, he could conduct the ceremony for days without encountering a child with soul power. It would seem that today’s luck was pretty good. The only question was: what was her Wolf's soul?

The previous golden lines from before had already disappeared without a trace, as if they had never existed at all. Lucinda seemed to be enduring an immense pain as her eyes were tightly closed. She slowly raised her right arm.

The hollow of her palm faced upwards, and a pale blue light emitted from it. In his hands appeared a small light blue grass that quietly rotated and extended in his hand. With a delicate and soft sway, an exceptionally feeble energy fluctuated out.

“Wolfsbane?” The Spirit Master’s voice exuded disappointment, but it was once again substituted with amazement in a moment. He had seen the Wolfsbane Wolf  soul so many times before, this was a completely ordinary martial soul! Wolfsbane was so common that it covered the whole Continent as well as the Star Luo Continent and Sky Dou Continent. Even the lawn of Red Mountain Academy was covered in Wolfsbane. How could this type of trash martial soul give birth to soul power?

So painful! It felt as if Lucinda's body was being ripped to shreds.

Her body became limp and numb to the point of being nearly comfortable, as that gentle energy continued to be poured into her body. However, an intense heat quickly bubbled forth from the hundreds of bones of her four limbs. The heat wrecked havoc on her body, making her feel like she had a bloated stomach that was about to burst. Under this pain, she was unable to breathe.

Her whole body felt as if it was being ripped apart. Bone, muscle and flesh. There wasn’t a single aspect spared from the pain.

After what seemed like a very, very long time, this fit of pain gradually dissipated. Afterwards she felt a warm thread from the hollow of her palm, Lucinda opened her eyes.

A small light blue grass, verdant and lush, was undulating in the palm of his hand. ‘Wolfsbane?’

Although Lucinda was young, she clearly remembered what he was doing at that moment. Immediately after waking up to reality, he said, “Wolfsbane? This is my Wolf's soul?”

Even though she hadn’t properly studied before, she still had some common knowledge. Naturally, she knew that Wolfsbane was a type of trash Wolf soul. Furthermore, it was the worst trash of them all.

“En. It is. This is your Wolf soul.” The Alpha said so with a smile, yet his eyes couldn’t help but reveal a trace of pity.

Possessing soul power was definitely a good thing, but if his Wolf soul was Wolfsbane.....

Lucinda's lips softly quivered, and an intense torrent of sadness attacked her tiny heart. After anticipating for so long, it turned out that she actually had a trash martial soul.

“Child, don’t be sad. You possess soul power.” The Alpha hastily said.

“I, I have soul power?” Lucinda met his words with a look of astonishment.

The Alpha nodded in response. “After I tested it, you actually have rank 3 innate soul power. Although it can’t be considered amazing, it still means that you possess soul power. As long as you put in great effort, then you will be able to become a Soul Master too!”

Lucinda foolishly stared. “But, but my martial soul is Wolfsbane…”

The Alpha laughed. “Have you ever heard the tale of the Tang Pack? The founding Alpha of the Tang Sect’s Wolf's soul was actually the Wolfsbane! He relied on this wolf soul that other deemed as trash to rebuke the Heavens and Earth and defeated the wicked Soul pack twenty thousand years ago.”

Lucinda blinked in surprise. How could she have never heard of the tale of the Tang pack's founding Alpha? After all, the legend of the almighty masters of the Tang pack and Spirit Pagoda were the most widespread legends on the continent as well as the most universally appreciated.

“But wasn’t the Tang Pack's founding Alpha's Wolf soul the Bluesilver Emperor?” Lucinda earnestly asked.

“Eh…” The Alpha was somewhat embarrassed. Clearly, this little girl wasn’t so easy to fool. “The Bluesilver Emperor is the equivalent of an evolved Bluesilver Grass. If you wish to become a Soul Master, then you must put in your greatest effort.”

Lucinda bit her lip. “Thank you, Lord Spirit Alpha.”
