Su Yunlang immediately took out a new testing stone to test.

This one was the one he usually used, and could test up to the Soul Ancestor level of soul power.

This time, he finally tested Xiao Tuo's current level, which was twenty.

"T-twenty, the same as the legendary Seraphim spirit of the Qian family ten thousand years ago, innate level twenty!" Su Yunlang was too excited to control himself. He had actually discovered such a top genius.

If he reported this, he would be rich.

Unlike Su Yunlang's excitement, Xiao Tuo was silent. He shouldn't be innately level twenty, but just ordinary innate full soul power. As for why it would be level twenty.

It was estimated that the breathing exercises in recent years had allowed him to increase a lot of internal force.

The strange thing was that his spirit had just awakened, and without advancing with spirit rings, he should theoretically be stuck at level ten. The extra part would be temporarily hidden, and even the testing stone should not be able to measure it.

But now, he had actually reached level twenty. What was the reason for this? With his current strength, he was not strong enough to break the rules of the Douluo Continent, unless he had spirit rings on his body. Moreover, he seemed to actually feel a new power.

"Uncle, thank you for awakening my spirit. I'll take my leave now," Xiao Tuo couldn't wait to verify the guess in his heart and immediately prepared to leave.

"Wait, young friend, please stay." Su Yunlang quickly stopped Xiao Tuo. Now this child was his future, how could he let him leave so easily.

The awakening nowadays was not like the unified power of the Spirit Hall back then.

The awakenings were backed by different forces. Here, it was backed by the city lord's mansion, and that city lord's mansion might be backed by some greater force, such as a country or a sect.

Xiao Tuo did not know which side Su Yunlang was backed by.

This city belonged to the Heavenly Soul Empire. The greatest possibility was the royal family, which was fine. If it was Shrek, he didn't want to go. He didn't want to end up in a situation where they relied on evil soul masters in secret. That would be even worse.

"Young friend, don't worry, Uncle is not a bad person. Uncle wants to recommend you to the city lord of this city. Let me tell you, oh, the city lord is a graduate of Shrek Academy's inner courtyard. You've heard of Shrek, right? It's the number one academy on our continent, and the inner courtyard graduates are all geniuses famous throughout the continent. If the city lord knows that there's a genius like you, he will definitely be happy to recommend you to Shrek, then your future will be limitless!" Su Yunlang said excitedly.

Alright, it was Shrek after all, not an evil soul master organization, which could be considered a blessing in disguise.

Although Xiao Tuo didn't want to go to Shrek either, they shouldn't force him, right?

Before long, the city lord arrived. This was a man in his thirties. He had reached the Soul Sage realm before the age of forty.

Compared to the top monsters like the Shrek Seven Devils, he might not be anything, but compared to other forces, he could be considered a top genius.

However, Xiao Tuo found that he had underestimated the city lord's shamelessness. He had clearly said that he had a place he wanted to go, but the city lord said that he was still young, had no parents, and no ability to act independently. He forcibly detained him in the name of taking care of him.

Then, he immediately sent a letter to Shrek Academy.

Innate level twenty, this was already talent enough to alarm the Sea God Pavilion of the academy.

"Little Friend Xiao Tuo, stay here for the next few days. If there's anything you want to eat or drink, just tell the servants," a maid took Xiao Tuo to a luxurious guest room in the city lord's mansion.

Although he was forcibly detained, at least there was no abuse. The room prepared for him was no worse than a five-star hotel.

In fact, the city lord detained Xiao Tuo, not because he wanted to harm him, but because any force would not want to let go of such a genius.

Besides, Xiao Tuo was indeed only six years old, and had no parents. The city lord thought that he didn't know the meaning of the three words "Shrek" and that was why he refused. Once he went to Shrek, he would definitely like it.

In the future, he would also be proud of Shrek like him.

Xiao Tuo really wanted to complain that he was dreaming. There were two forces on this continent that he did not want to join, one was the Sun Moon Empire, which would later mix with the evil soul masters. Based on this alone, Xiao Tuo was destined to be their enemy. The other was Shrek. It wasn't that he hated Shrek Academy. The current Shrek Academy still had its advantages. At least the Shrek Supervision Group was doing a good job in cracking down on evil soul masters.

He simply felt that if he went there, he probably wouldn't get along with many people there.

"There's really no way. I'm still a nobody now. I'll find a way to leave later," Xiao Tuo was calm and would not get angry easily.

He was more concerned about another thing now.

That was his two spirits. The fire element spirit was actually within his expectations. This should be related to the Taoism he practiced back then.

Among the Ghost Valley Taoism, he mainly practiced the Divine Fire Taoism taught by Yuwen Tuo, which caused his soul to contain incomparably powerful fire power. This spirit should be the personification of the fire power after adapting to the rules of the world.

The problem was the other spirit.

Xiao Tuo spread out his palm, and a golden, simple long sword appeared in his hand. One side of the sword was engraved with the sun, moon, and stars, and the other side was engraved with mountains, rivers, grass, and trees. One side of the hilt was inscribed with the art of farming and animal husbandry, and the other side was inscribed with the strategy of unifying the four seas.

At the same time, there was a circle of yellow light around the Xuan-Yuan Sword.

"Xuan-Yuan Sword!" Xiao Tuo murmured, his heart full of doubt.

Strange, why did the Xuan-Yuan Sword come to this world with him? He clearly remembered that before his second transmigration, the Xuan-Yuan Sword was still held by his teacher. Moreover, this world could not withstand the power of the complete Xuan-Yuan Sword at all. Also, why was there already a spirit ring on this Xuan-Yuan Sword? Where did this spirit ring come from?

It was precisely because of this spirit ring that Xiao Tuo could continue to cultivate after having innate full soul power, creating the illusion of being innately level twenty.

In fact, his innate soul power was just the full level of ten.

Even if the Xuan-Yuan Sword spirit was stronger than the god-level spirit in this world, it would be meaningless. Although the Seraphim spirit had innate level twenty, there was another saying for the Seraphim spirit, that was a divine spirit.

This was a spirit bestowed by the gods, and the ten levels after innate level ten were actually given by the gods.

No matter how powerful the Xuan-Yuan Sword was, this world was not backed by any gods, so of course no one would give Xiao Tuo these ten levels of innate soul power.

Xiao Tuo looked at the Xuan-Yuan Sword in his hand. Was this... really the Xuan-Yuan Sword? Although the appearance was exactly the same, he always felt that this sword was slightly different from the one he had held before.

The Xuan-Yuan Sword of unknown origin, and the inexplicable appearance of the first spirit ring, filled Xiao Tuo's heart with questions.
