Chapter 4

"Sure enough!" In the small grove of trees outside the soccer field, beyond the school's iron fence, a middle-aged man in a leather jacket stood, his eyes fixed on Rong Taotao in the distance, and he saw the painful expression on Rong Taotao's face as he clutched his head.

The middle-aged man turned to look at the young man with a buzz cut beside him and said, "Rong Yang, your brother is probably about to open the soul slot on his forehead."

"Hmm..." Rong Yang placed one hand on the iron fence, his eyes also fixed on the young boy on the distant soccer field.

At this moment, groups of soldiers interrupted the students' awakening process, leading those who felt unwell away from the field to the medical tents beside the main stand.

As time passed, the scene became increasingly chaotic, with cries and shouts echoing continuously. The parents waiting outside the school gates were also cleared away by local police.

But these two men were still able to stand here, indicating they had some influence.

No, to be precise, there were three people.

But one of them, a woman, was not standing outside the fence but inside the school grounds, leaning against the fence.

The woman was about 23 or 24 years old, with a beautiful face and elegant demeanor. She wore a light, elegant dress, and her smile carried a hint of reflection: "He truly lives up to expectations."

"Rong Yang, you know what it means for us that he has opened the soul slot on his forehead," the middle-aged man in the leather jacket said to Rong Yang, his expression serious.

"Of course, Captain Fu," Rong Yang smiled and responded. As his name suggested, his warm smile was indeed like a gentle sun.

Rong Yang continued, "He just graduated from junior high. You're not going to make him start working now, are you?"

"Haha, not necessarily," Captain Fu laughed, patting Rong Yang on the shoulder. "But we need to start from a young age and guide him towards our unit in the future.

You both have forehead soul slots, and more importantly, you are brothers!

With the right soul bead configuration, you can achieve barrier-free communication across different dimensions. Who else would be better suited for intelligence work?"

Seeing the captain's determined look, Rong Yang shook his head with a smile. "Thank goodness there's no soul skill that can read minds, or it would be a real problem."

Captain Fu shrugged. Indeed, it was fortunate.

Otherwise, given Rong Yang's current job, Rong Taotao might face a long period of political training instead of high school...

"Captain Fu, you should be nervous too," the beautiful woman inside the school grounds turned her head and looked at Captain Fu with a smile. "Rong Yang's forehead soul slot is officially certified. Now that Rong Taotao has also opened his forehead soul slot, many teams will be vying for him after today."

"Hmm..." Captain Fu rubbed his chin, muttering to himself, "That's true."

Rong Yang, who had been smiling, now looked serious as he gazed at his younger brother on the distant soccer field. He sighed inwardly.

Would his brother accept this kind of work and life?

He was still a child, a 15-year-old boy with endless possibilities. Why decide his future path at this moment?

Rong Yang knew the hardships of his unit. He did not regret choosing this career, but... he did not want his brother to enter this field.

Damn it, Rong Yang had awakened the soul slot on his forehead.

Even more damn it, eight years after Rong Yang was born, his parents had another child!

And this child also had a forehead soul slot...

One person having a forehead soul slot was nothing, but two people, especially brothers with the same blood, changed the game!

This barrier-free communication between siblings had immense strategic value! Even if Rong Yang wanted his brother to have an easier life, it might not be possible.

Sigh...

Thinking about this, Rong Yang sighed again.

As they were talking, large numbers of students were led away by soldiers. The vast soccer field was now left with only about a hundred students.

Among these hundred, almost everyone had opened their third soul slot, and Rong Taotao was one of them.

As the fourth soul slot began to appear in various parts of the students' bodies, almost all the soldiers sprang into action!

They interrupted most of the students' awakening rituals, quickly calming and stabilizing the chaotic soul power within the students, and led them away from the soul power-infused soccer field.

As professional soul-guiding soldiers, they were much more aware than the children of whether their bodies had reached their limits.

It was clear that the soldiers were highly professional. Among the hundred students, the time difference between the awakening of the fourth soul slot was within five minutes.

After that...

The soccer field, which had been filled with over a thousand students, was now left with only seven.

A glint of excitement flashed in the beautiful woman's eyes. She leaned against the fence, then straightened up and turned to look at Rong Yang outside. "He's qualified. Think about how you'll help me convince your brother."

Rong Yang's thoughts were complex, and he nodded lightly.

These two men and one woman did not come from the same team; otherwise, they wouldn't be in different places.

In fact, the woman was a teacher from the Songjiang Soul Martial University admissions office.

Compared to the admissions teachers from other key soul martial high schools, Rong Yang clearly trusted Songjiang Soul Martial University more, or perhaps... he trusted the woman in front of him more.

Although he thought this, Rong Yang still asked the woman, "Chunxi, are you sure Taotao can open the fifth soul slot?"

Yang Chunxi gestured to the soldier sitting in front of Rong Taotao. "Look at how steady that soldier is. Your brother hasn't reached his limit yet."

As she spoke, three more soldiers interrupted the awakening rituals and quickly led the students away.

Even though the field was now quite empty, the soldiers had to take the students away due to the highly active soul power, to prevent any unnecessary harm to their newly awakened, unstable bodies.

Unfortunately, even after pushing to their limits, those three students remained at four soul slots and did not awaken the fifth soul slot.

Only four students remained on the field.

Captain Fu suddenly said, "This kid clearly wanted to bend down and touch his knees but was stopped by the soul-guiding soldier."

Yang Chunxi bit her lower lip. Despite having experienced countless intense moments, she seemed excited at this moment.

Five soul slots?

Good! Very good! Excellent!

"The fifth soul slot," Captain Fu clenched his fists. At this moment, his feelings were the same as Yang Chunxi's. Seeing such a rare talent, he was overjoyed.

In the future, this will be one of my soldiers!

The three of them were excited, but the soldier sitting in front of Rong Taotao was not as calm as he appeared.

At this moment, the soldier was extremely excited, but his high professional standards kept him focused on his task.

The soldier knew that he might be creating a prodigy in his hands!

Initial awakening of five soul slots!

What level of talent is this!? Born for this!

You can embed more soul skills than others, absorb soul power faster than others!

Your ability to practice soul techniques is stronger than others, and even your compatibility with your soul beast is higher than others!

This... damn it... wow!!

The soldier's eyes widened as he saw Rong Taotao, who had a faint soul power vortex forming at his knees, suddenly lower his head and cover his left eye with one hand.

At the school fence, the three of them clearly noticed Rong Taotao's astonishing action!

Covering the eye was not a big deal.

But during the awakening ritual, especially after already opening five soul slots, suddenly covering the eye!?

He... can open a sixth soul slot!?

"Rong Yang, your brother's talent might be even higher than yours. Besides the hardest-to-open forehead soul slot, he can also open an eye soul slot..." Yang Chunxi muttered, still disbelieving.

Although she knew he was Xu Fenghua's son and that his brother Rong Yang was exceptionally talented, she never imagined that the second son of the Rong family could have six initial soul slots!?

A one-in-ten-thousand chance, this is not something you can just encounter!

On the soccer field,

The soldier in front of Rong Taotao... was really a bit stunned.

Others open soul slots on their wrists, ankles, occasionally on their elbows or shoulders... but you!?

You open the forehead, then the knee, and now the eye?

Is the soul power just playing around in your body? Moving randomly?

Are you even human??
