Starting with a Choice System! (New Book, Soul Land: Starting with a Digimon!)

Heaven Dou Empire, Body Village!

Inside a rather low-roofed little hut.

Han Yu stood at the center of a Six-pointed Star formation.

Standing before him was a rather strange-looking man, whose head was actually twice as large as an ordinary person's.

"Child, stand still. My name is Lang Ya. Next, I'll awaken your martial soul for you. Don't be afraid!"

Han Yu looked at the big-headed man before him and nodded calmly.

He had originally been an ordinary worker from Blue Star, the very ordinary kind. He had worked in factories, been a waiter, and delivered parcels, running himself ragged every day just to survive.

Six years ago, he had transmigrated to this world called Douluo Continent.

Though he did not know why it had happened, after a brief spell of conflicted thoughts, Han Yu could only make the best of it.

As a standard worker, he knew about the world of Douluo Continent. After work, he usually liked reading novels.

He could not afford entertainment that cost too much, so reading novels had become his only pastime.

In this life, he was an orphan who had grown up eating at many households. Right now, he was within the territory of the Heaven Dou Empire, in a small mountain village beside the Body Sect.

Most of the people in this mountain village were ordinary people connected to the Body Sect. Because they had no soul power, they had been arranged to do odd jobs in the village.

Every year, people from the Body Sect would come down to awaken the villagers' martial souls for free. If there were awakened Body Martial Soul users, they could replenish fresh blood this way and maintain the sect's development.

Today was the day the village awakened martial souls.

Han Yu stood at the center of the formation, and light instantly enveloped him, making him feel a little warm.

"Ding! Please choose your initial talent, host!"

"A system?"

"I didn't expect there really to be a system!"

Han Yu was pleasantly surprised. Of course he knew what a system was. Put simply, it was a cheat, the kind that could make someone stronger.

A transparent screen appeared in Han Yu's eyes.

"Cultivation Maniac: Innate Soul Power level one, random low-grade martial soul. Each time you obtain a Soul Ring, your soul power cultivation speed increases by one hundred percent based on the current rate, meaning level 1 multiplied by 2, then multiplied by 2 again, stacking infinitely. (Still effective if Innate Soul Power is increased after birth.)"

"Treasure Box Expert: Innate Soul Power level four, random mid-grade martial soul. Each time you obtain a Soul Ring, three types of treasure chests randomly appear, with random quality! You may choose one of them for attribute enhancement!"

"Soul Guidance Grandmaster: extremely poor martial soul quality, random low-grade martial soul. Soul Engineer crafting, learning, and the power of crafted Soul Tools are doubled!"

"Random martial souls have a chance to produce growth-grade martial souls. Probability: one percent!"

Han Yu looked at the screen before him and decisively chose Treasure Box Expert!

Cultivation Maniac looked very powerful, but it came online too late. By the time his cultivation speed rose, he might already be in a coffin. Eliminated!

As for Soul Guidance Grandmaster, to be honest, with his current identity and status, he could not come into contact with such high-end things at all. It would not help him much either. Eliminated!

All things considered, Treasure Box Expert was relatively good. His Innate Soul Power would be level four. Although it could not be considered top-tier, it was not bad either. It was close to average, and better than most people's.

Han Yu's mindset was quite calm. He knew what he wanted. It was nothing more than to live on properly.

Among the three options, in his eyes, there was actually only one that suited him. The first one suited someone with a powerful background.

He just did not know what would be inside the treasure chests!

Han Yu thought with slight anticipation.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, on choosing the talent Treasure Box Expert. Initial selection reward: one White-Grade Treasure Chest."

"Obtained growth-type martial soul, One Tomoe Sharingan. Martial soul awakened!"

"Obtained White-Grade Treasure Chest! Please choose!"

"Choice one: constitution dynamically strengthened by fifty percent, spirit dynamically reduced by fifty percent!"

"Choice two: total soul power dynamically increased by fifty percent, constitution and spirit dynamically reduced by twenty-five percent each!"

"Choice three: Spiritual Power dynamically increased by fifty percent, constitution and soul power dynamically reduced by twenty-five percent!"

Han Yu looked at the three rewards before him and fell into thought.

"What the hell is all this?"

Han Yu felt a headache coming on. All three options increased basic attributes, and the range was dynamic, directly adding to the total.

Is this asking me to play an extreme build?

If he only looked at the first half, they were pretty good, but what was with the pile of negative buffs in the back?

"My martial soul is the Sharingan. Although it's only One Tomoe, it should be able to evolve."

"In theory, choosing constitution first would be very good, but if my spirit drops by fifty percent, will I turn into an idiot?"

For a time, Han Yu was rather conflicted. If he chose constitution, his spirit would drop. If he chose soul power, the other two would also drop, and his total soul power was useless right now.

"Looks like I can only choose Spiritual Power. Although I'll be rather weak for now, Douluo Continent still has quite a few things that can strengthen the body."

He knew there were many things that could strengthen the body. Spiritual Power, on the other hand, was harder to deal with.

"System! Choose three!"

Han Yu was helpless. Lowering his Spiritual Power was absolutely out of the question. There were ways to raise constitution and soul power, but raising Spiritual Power on Douluo Continent was still very difficult.

And besides, he had the Sharingan, which relied quite heavily on Spiritual Power. Choice three was the best for now.

"Ding! Host's Spiritual Power dynamically increased by fifty percent. Constitution and soul power dynamically reduced by twenty-five percent!" (PS: chests will make up for it later, and even strengthen them, so no need to mind.)

Following the system prompt, Han Yu felt his mind clear. His whole body felt light and floating.

But very soon, a wave of weakness came from his body, nearly making him unsteady on his feet.

"Tch, I'm this weak? It's like I was instantly hollowed out!"

Han Yu's face was a little pale, and his body trembled slightly as he did his best to keep himself steady.

"An eye martial soul!"

Lang Ya's somewhat surprised voice rang out, and Han Yu looked up.

"Good, good. Child, next, let's see if you have soul power. If you do, you'll be able to become a soul master."

Lang Ya took out a Crystal Ball and gestured for Han Yu to place his hand on it.

Han Yu nodded. Following the instructions, he held the Crystal Ball with both hands.

A faint glow began to light up, ten percent, twenty percent, and finally stopped when it occupied forty percent of the entire Crystal Ball.

Seeing this, Lang Ya's eyes flashed with a trace of pity. If it could have been just a little higher, that would have been great. "Innate Soul Power level four. Still not bad. Child, your martial soul is very good. Are you willing to join the Body Sect to cultivate?"

Of course Han Yu knew what Lang Ya was feeling regretful about. His Innate Soul Power was still a little low.

As an extremely important part of the human body, the eyes counted as a top-tier existence among Body Martial Souls, because they were connected to the Brain.

"I am willing to join the Body Sect, senior!"

Han Yu bowed. Joining the Body Sect had only benefits for him and no downsides.

In this world, he was like duckweed without roots, while the Body Sect counted among the very top group of forces.

And it had one particular trait: it was extremely protective of its own. Soul masters with Body Martial Souls had always been treated like family.

"Very well. Next, go pack your things. Tomorrow, I'll come pick you up and take you to the Body Sect."

Lang Ya nodded in satisfaction. His broad palm patted Han Yu's head, then he left with a loud laugh.

"Yes, senior."

Han Yu nodded slightly, then returned to his own home.

He wanted to understand his Sharingan martial soul, to find out exactly what uses it had and whether it was the same as he imagined.

After fetching a basin of clear water, Han Yu looked toward the clear surface.

"Sharingan!"

Han Yu closed both eyes, then opened them instantly.

A pair of somewhat beautiful yet eerie eyes appeared on the water's surface.
