Unconvinced System

"Blue Silver Grass, a useless martial soul."

Inside a hall stood a handsome young man in his twenties, with sword-like brows and starry eyes. He wore a white fitted outfit with a black cloak draped behind him. At the center of his chest was a fist-sized character: Soul.

The young man looked disappointedly at the wheat-skinned boy before him and softly called, "Next."

"Uncle, you haven't tested my Soul Power yet!"

"There's no need. I've never seen anyone with a Blue Silver Grass martial soul possess Soul Power."

"Uncle, please test my Soul Power. It won't take long."

"Fine, then we'll test it."

The scene unfolding in the hall was exactly as one of the boys present had expected.

The little boy had black hair and black eyes, and his clothes were covered in layers upon layers of patches. His skin was wheat-colored as well, while those deep eyes seemed capable of seeing through everything.

This little boy was named Ye Feng. He had entered this hall to awaken his martial soul.

"Your situation is very unusual. Innate Full Soul Power makes you a genius seen only once in a century. What a pity... such a pity. Even if your martial soul were a farm tool, it would still be far stronger than the useless Blue Silver Grass. If that were the case, I could also... sigh..."

Su Yuntao shook his head and sighed. Glancing at Ye Feng, the last in line, he called, "Next!"

Tang San still had many questions in his heart, especially regarding Soul Rings. Seeing Su Yuntao say this, he could only step aside for the moment and let Ye Feng enter the formation.

Ye Feng stood within the formation as golden Soul Power began seeping into his body. The warm sensation was extremely comfortable. He felt something like shackles within his body being shattered.

Ding-dong!

The system has detected that the Host is undergoing martial soul awakening, fulfilling the conditions for the system to awaken. The system is beginning to bind with the Host!

Binding progress: 10%.

Binding progress: 20%.

Binding progress: 30%.

A holographic progress bar appeared in Ye Feng's mind.

System???

I'm finally getting a cheat!

Six years... System, do you know how I've spent these six years?

A cheat... I'm finally getting a cheat of my own.

I finally have hope of becoming stronger.

Ye Feng was incredibly excited and wanted to throw back his head and laugh. Yet his steady temperament allowed him to suppress it all.

Binding progress: 100%.

My martial soul is finally about to awaken.

Ye Feng glanced sideways at Tang San, who was obediently standing off to the side. Tang San was still processing the knowledge he had heard from Su Yuntao.

Ye Feng paused inwardly and wondered, Tang San isn't from Holy Soul Village. Grandpa Jack said that I'm not from Holy Soul Village either. Before my parents died, they happened to encounter him while he was passing through and entrusted me to his care. Then my martial soul shouldn't be a useless martial soul, right? Still, Tang San is really enviable for awakening Twin Martial Souls. The Child of Fortune truly is the Child of Fortune—he's different from everyone else.

Ding-dong!

The system has detected that the Host envies Tang San for possessing Twin Martial Souls. The system is unconvinced and will help the Host awaken Three Lives Martial Soul!

What? Three Lives Martial Soul? Ye Feng was utterly stunned, his eyes widening.

Yes, Host.

System, you're not joking, are you? Ye Feng questioned.

From ancient times until now, no one had ever possessed Three Lives Martial Soul. Only ten thousand years later would Douluo Continent produce a monster with Three Lives Martial Soul.

The system disdains making jokes. Host, please select your first martial soul.

As the system's voice fell, a holographic image appeared in Ye Feng's mind.

"Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle, Sun-Shooting Bow, Xuanyuan Sword..."

For my first martial soul, I choose Xuanyuan Sword! Ye Feng said inwardly without hesitation.

Are you sure?

I'm sure! Ye Feng replied firmly. In the China Plane, the sword was known as the sovereign of all weapons.

Congratulations, you have obtained your first martial soul, Xuanyuan Sword. Please continue selecting your second martial soul.

Another image appeared in Ye Feng's Sea of Consciousness.

This image was very different from the previous one. It no longer contained Power Attack System martial souls.

"Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, Blue Silver Emperor, Nine Heart Profound Tang, Icy Divine Staff..."

System, introduce this Nine Heart Profound Tang. What is the difference between it and Nine Heart Hibiscus? Ye Feng asked curiously.

Nine Heart Profound Tang is a mutated martial soul of Nine Heart Hibiscus. Its rank is sufficient to stand alongside the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda and the Blue Silver Emperor. As a mutated martial soul, Nine Heart Profound Tang is no longer limited to healing abilities. Its essence lies in the word "Profound," representing its limitless possibilities.

Then I'll choose Nine Heart Profound Tang as my second martial soul. Ye Feng's heart stirred.

As a transmigrator, Ye Feng knew that martial soul mutations went in two directions. One was mutation in a bad direction, such as the so-called master Yu Xiaogang's martial soul, Luo Sanpao. The other was mutation in a good direction, such as Feng Xiaotian's Gale Twin-Headed Demon Wolf. Since Nine Heart Profound Tang was no weaker in rank than the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda and the Blue Silver Emperor, its mutation had surely developed in a good direction.

Unless Ye Feng was an idiot, there was no way he would refuse this martial soul.

Are you sure?

I'm sure! Ye Feng replied firmly.

Congratulations, you have obtained your second martial soul, Nine Heart Profound Tang. Please continue selecting your third martial soul.

Yet another image appeared in Ye Feng's Sea of Consciousness.

"Asura Eye, Golden Eye, Heavenly Golden Eye, Holy Light Eye, Eye of Hell, Undead Eye..."

Ye Feng discovered that all the options for his third martial soul were eye-type martial souls.

If Ye Feng's guess was correct, the first martial souls were all Power Attack System martial souls, the second was a Support System martial soul, and the third was a spiritual-type martial soul. The system's intention was already obvious: it wanted Ye Feng to take the path of a lone powerhouse, someone who could stand against ten thousand men by himself.

"I'll choose the Eye of Hell!" Ye Feng said.

Are you sure?

"I don't know which one is best, so I'll just pick one at random. I'll choose the Eye of Hell!" Ye Feng replied casually.

Congratulations, you have obtained your third martial soul, Eye of Hell.

As the system's voice faded, Ye Feng's eyes felt warm, as though a warm current was nourishing them. His left and right hands felt the same way.

"Child, are you deaf? I told you to stretch out your right hand!"

Su Yuntao's voice rang beside Ye Feng's ear.

Following his instructions, Ye Feng stretched out his right hand.

It was a colorless Begonia Flower. Though the begonia had no color at all, its form was exceptionally beautiful. Crystal-clear like a piece of supreme jade, it shimmered with flowing radiance and looked utterly extraordinary.

However, Su Yuntao merely shook his head and sighed. "A pear blossom. It has no color at all, so it's another useless martial soul. Looks like this trip to Holy Soul Village was wasted again. All right, let's go outside."

Hearing this, Ye Feng did not point it out. With a thought, he withdrew the Nine Heart Profound Tang. He felt that before he had grown strong enough, it was enough for him alone to know whether his martial soul was good or useless.

Ye Feng looked at Su Yuntao and reminded him with a smile, "Uncle, you still haven't tested my Soul Power yet!"
