Chapter 156 Poor Child
Tiandou Empire, a remote village, had been baptized by war and was dilapidated and deserted. However, in the past two years, it has recovered its vitality and its population has increased.

People who had left also came back again.

At this time, in the center of the village entrance, a white-haired old man wearing linen and rags was saying: "Today, the soul master from the Wuhun Hall branch came to our village to awaken the Wuhun for you children. This is a great thing, something that never happened before!"

The past he was talking about here was naturally before the branch hall of Wuhun Palace was built. At that time, it was extremely difficult for ordinary people to awaken Wuhun. They even had to go to the city to find a soul master who specialized in awakening Wuhun.

Even if you find it, the high cost is not something ordinary people can afford, and even if you awaken your martial soul, you may not be able to become a soul master.

But all this, ever since the Wuhun Palace ended this great catastrophe that had never happened in a hundred years, a large number of Wuhun Palace branches began to be established in the Tiandou Empire.

Accordingly, the soul masters of the Wuhun Palace branch go to villages or cities every year to awaken Wuhun for free for children who are just about or almost six years old!
Children who have awakened martial arts and are talented and want to enter the Spirit Hall can go to the Spirit Academy. Those who don't want to go will not be forced to go to the local Spirit Academy with a certificate issued by the Spirit Hall.

In the past two years, the changes brought about by Wuhun Palace have been huge, which is why the old village chief said that this is a great thing.

Isn't this a great thing?
At the same time, his dim eyes were filled with admiration, yearning and worship for Wuhun Palace.

Wuhun Palace is truly the best force on their continent, and they do everything for the sake of the people.

Without the Wuhun Hall, their village wouldn't even have a single person with a Wuhun.

A martial soul is useless, so be it, but it is still better than one without a martial soul.

A hoe with a martial spirit can plow the land much faster than an ordinary person, and a sickle with a martial spirit can cut crops much faster than an ordinary person.

Perhaps, in the eyes of others, this is a useless martial spirit, but in the eyes of these civilians, this is an artifact, an artifact that can make them eat!
"What is the martial spirit of Grandpa Village Chief?" a young child asked curiously.

Although they are already six years old, due to malnutrition, each of them is very thin, some are even skinny and short, and they are completely unable to compare with the children of the big forces.

The clothes he wore were also tattered clothes with several patches.

"Martial spirit..." The village chief thought for a moment and then released his own martial spirit, which was a green onion.

Although he has passed the age to awaken his martial soul, it is not that he cannot awaken his martial soul; he can also awaken it.

The martial soul he awakened was a green onion, with innate soul power and no...

He has no soul power, but his martial soul can be eaten. Although he can only generate two souls a day, it is not bad, and he saves a lot of money.

The old village chief waved the green onion in his hand and said: "This is my martial spirit, green onion. You can understand that with the martial spirit, you don't need to be hungry. It's that simple."

The children's eyes suddenly lit up when they mentioned that they no longer need to be hungry after awakening their martial souls.

They don't have to go hungry. This is their wish, because they are hungry every day, and it is almost impossible to eat enough. What's more, they are still in an extremely remote place, in the middle of nowhere.

"Really? Grandpa Village Chief, will you really not be hungry after awakening your martial spirit?" a little girl asked.

He was also six years old, but he looked like he was four or five years old. This was caused by malnutrition. When she was four years old, her only relative, her mother, passed away.

She was the only one left in the family. In the village, no one had enough to eat, and they would not choose to raise another idle person. No one was willing to give her a piece of food.

She had almost grown up eating wild vegetables in the past two years. Although they were bitter and unpalatable, at least they would not starve to death.This allowed her to persist for two full years, until she finally reached the age of six.

The old village chief looked at this little girl, who was skinny and pale, and shook his head.

This little girl is a poor person in their village.

My father was taken away by forced recruitment and never came back. My mother died of a serious illness two years ago and she was the only one left in the family.

In this special period, no one had enough money to support this child. I thought that the child would not live long, but I didn’t expect that he survived for two years by eating wild vegetables. It was also a miracle...

He has finally reached the age where he can awaken the Wuhun Palace. If it weren't for the Wuhun Palace, this child might not have survived for long.

As long as the martial soul is awakened, or even half a level of soul power, the whole village will rush to adopt it. This is the benefit brought by the soul master!
The old village chief nodded, sighed, and said unbearably: "The child's life is hard, it will be fine when he awakens his martial spirit..."

After saying that, he rubbed the little girl's head. This world is really unbearable.

If it weren't for the war between the two empires, their village would not be like this. At least, they would not be hungry. It was all because of the war between the two empires!

The old village chief thought to his vague reporter that a few decades ago, life in their village was pretty good, at least they would not starve. Although they were poor, they were living a decent life.

Looking at it now, it’s really incomparable. It’s getting worse and worse.

Hearing this, the little girl nodded solemnly and secretly swore in her heart that she must awaken her martial soul and reach half-level soul power, so that she would no longer starve!
The thoughts that come from a child are very simple, they just don’t want to go hungry.

A group of children have been waiting here for a long time. Just standing there, some of them can no longer hold on. They are not full and have no physical strength. How can they stand for so long?

"Grandpa, village chief, I'm a little dizzy..." a child said.

The village chief asked him to sit aside and asked everyone else to sit down.

Although the waiting time is not long, these are some children who can persevere.

The little girl sat on a stone nearby. Although she was also dizzy, she gritted her teeth and persisted.

This was her only chance not to be hungry. If she fainted, it would be gone!
Soon, an ordinary carriage stopped at the entrance of their village, and a man in ordinary clothes stepped out of the carriage.

Although the clothes are ordinary, it is still much better than the people in the village...

When the man saw the group of disgraced children and the somewhat dilapidated village, he shook his head. A year had passed.

The village has not changed much, and the children are still looking gray and malnourished.

It was like this last year, and it's still like this this year.

The harm caused by war...
