After a pleasant conversation with Su Yuntao, Old Jerry escorted Su Wen back home.

"Xiaowen, your talent is truly surprising. Haha, you're destined to become a Spirit Master!" Old Jerry's joy for Su Wen was evident.

Beaming with satisfaction, Old Jerry continued, "Both you and Xiaopang possess Soul Power. I'll do my utmost to secure spots for you at the Primary Spirit Master Academy."

He had already discussed with Su Yuntao earlier. None of the other villages sharing working student slots with New Moon Village had children with awakened Soul Power. Additionally, even Saint Soul Village lacked youngsters with awakened Soul Power this year.

"Alright, you stay home alone. I'll go check on Xiaopang. Although that child only has half-level Soul Power, he still possesses some potential. There is still hope in case he breaks through to become a Spirit Master," Old Jerry expressed wistfully.

Even if it's just a Spirit Master of the tenth level, as long as there's a Spirit Ring, one can receive subsidies from the Spirit Hall every month!

The contrast between a Spirit Master and an ordinary person is as vast as the sky and the earth.

After Old Jerry departed, Su Wen remained at home alone, immersed in the study of his Martial Spirit.

"Book Martial Spirit."

As he gazed at the dusty tome in his hand, Su Wen harbored no grievances.

His modest upbringing wasn't something he can control.

His parents had done all they could for him before their untimely death.

Yet, what path should he pursue after mastering the Book Martial Spirit?

Su Wen fixed his gaze upon his Book Martial Spirit, the question that had haunted him before the awakening resurfacing once more.

Once tinged with hopeful speculation that he might awaken an overpowered martial spirit, now he could only confront the issue head-on.

"I need strength!"

Various thoughts raced through Su Wen's mind as he started racking his brain on ways to develop his Book Martial Spirit.

And the answer soon came to surface. Heavenly Book!

Bestowing a name upon his Martial Spirit, Su Wen hoped for its gradual evolution into a real Heavenly Book.

As the dusty tome unfurled its blank pages, Su Wen activated his Soul Power, commencing the manipulation of his Martial Spirit.

Split!

A page detached from the rest of the book.

"It works!" Su Wen's eyes sparkled with excitement.

Fixating his attention on the page, he delved into its manipulation.

Although his Martial Spirit had only just awakened, Su Wen's innate talent endowed him with a control surpassing that of most Spirit Masters.

Under Su Wen's infusion of Soul Power, the page underwent alterations in size, length, width, and even thickness.

However, it still retained its essence as a page.

Yet, as Su Wen began to fold the page...

"Xiaowen!"

Old Jerry's voice pierced through the air.

Su Wen halted, opening the door to find Old Jerry and Xiaopang standing outside.

Xiaopang whose full name is Sun Xiaopang, embodied his name—fair-skinned and plump, with a simple and honest smile (Xiaopang means Little Fatty).

"Brother Xiaowen," Xiaopang greeted.
