Martial Soul?

"Martial soul... I actually came to Douluo Continent!"

It took Mo Bai quite a while to understand what had happened to him.

Just like Tang San, the protagonist of the Douluo world, he had somehow crossed over into another world.

The only difference was that Tang San had crossed over after dying from jumping off a cliff, while Mo Bai had merely gone to sleep.

He had now been reborn into the body of a three-year-old orphan.

He had no name, only a childhood nickname... Forget it, the nickname was unimportant. From now on, he was Mo Bai.

The parents of this body had met with an accident two months ago and both perished.

He had only survived thanks to the support of the villagers.

The dilapidated mud-brick house before him was the only inheritance left behind by this body's parents.

It was only dilapidated in Mo Bai's eyes. To the people of this village, it was decent enough. Everyone lived more or less the same way, as long as the house kept out the rain and wind.

What a start. Mo Bai did not even have the strength to complain!

Still, it was not all bad. At least he did not suddenly have an extra pair of parents to deal with. He might not have been able to adapt otherwise.

"Ah, if I'd known I was going to cross over into Douluo, I would've watched a few more episodes last night!"

Mo Bai sighed, feeling somewhat regretful.

If he had watched a few more episodes of Douluo, he would have known more about this world.

Instead, he barely knew anything about it.

He did not even know where in the timeline he was.

Though even if the timeline matched the Douluo he had watched, all he knew was that Tang San was the protagonist, while Xiao Wu was most likely the female lead.

Oh, and Tang San's father was no ordinary man.

Other than that, he knew nothing!

"Forget it. So what if I don't know?"

"Tang San could become the protagonist of Douluo by relying on the skills from his past life. Even if I can't become the protagonist, becoming stronger than I was in my previous life through a magical martial soul shouldn't be a problem!"

"And this world seems pretty exciting. There's no need to worry about Tang San. I just need to live my own life well!"

"First, I need to cultivate the Startling Feather Art again!"

"And all kinds of Tang Sect techniques!"

"I started cultivating a little too late in my previous life. At this age, though, it's just right!"

After feeling regretful for only a moment, Mo Bai abandoned those unrealistic regrets.

From then on, Mo Bai relied on the new body he had gained through rebirth to temporarily survive in this village.

With the mindset of an adult, Mo Bai only needed a little disguise to easily win the villagers' affection, allowing him to live more comfortably.

Three years passed quickly.

Over those three years, Mo Bai successfully began cultivating the Tang Sect's most profound Startling Feather Art anew.

However, just like Tang San, his Startling Feather Art became stuck upon reaching the completion of the first level, unable to break through no matter what he did.

Having long been mentally prepared, Mo Bai was not anxious in the slightest.

He knew that once he awakened his martial soul, this shackle would be broken.

Besides the Startling Feather Art cultivation method, Mo Bai also began practicing the Jade Hand and Flower Butterfly Steps again.

Mo Bai did not possess Tang San's Purple Demon Eyes, nor did he have anything similar. Still, he boldly used the Soul Power he cultivated to continuously nourish his eyes.

Although he had not cultivated any kind of Pupil Technique, his eyesight had undoubtedly improved.

If he kept this up, Mo Bai felt that he might have a chance to cultivate a fairly powerful Pupil Technique in the future.

During those three years, Mo Bai also learned a little about the outside world.

Through that, he found out about some of the nations and factions in this world!

However, he still could not determine whether he was living in the same era as Tang San.

After all, Mo Bai had no idea what the Douluo world was like during Tang San's time.

Fortunately, Mo Bai was not interested in that either. What interested him most now was tomorrow's martial soul awakening.

"The parents of this body had Blue Silver Grass and a hoe as their martial souls!"

"A child's martial soul randomly inherits one of their parents' martial souls. I hope I awaken Blue Silver Grass!"

"If I can awaken a Blue Silver Grass martial soul, I definitely won't follow the Control System!"

The next day, under the guidance of Village Chief Su Meiqian, a group of six-year-old children, including Mo Bai, waited early at the village entrance for the envoy from Spirit Hall to arrive and conduct the martial soul awakening ceremony.

"Little Mo Bai, don't be disappointed if you can't become a Spirit Master!"

"This old village chief can find you some work to do!"

While they waited together, Village Chief Su Meiqian spoke to Mo Bai.

Because Mo Bai was so well-behaved and sensible, Village Chief Su Meiqian took especially good care of him.

"Mm, thank you, Grandfather Village Chief!"

"But I believe I'll definitely become a Spirit Master and bring honor to our Meilin Village!"

Mo Bai nodded, speaking politely yet full of determination.

"Good, good. Grandfather Village Chief hopes you can become a Spirit Master too!"

Hearing Mo Bai's words, Village Chief Su Meiqian beamed with delight, deeply gratified.

If only all the boys in the village thought like that.

"They're here, they're here..."

"Spirit Hall's envoy has arrived!"

After waiting for who knew how long, Mo Bai and the others finally saw someone approaching.

"Hm? Is that him? I forgot his name, but he looks very familiar!"

"He's the one who awakened the Martial Soul of Douluo Continent's protagonist, right?"

When Mo Bai saw the newcomer, his heart stirred slightly.

It seemed that the point in time when he had transmigrated was about the same as Tang San's.

"Sir Envoy, you've finally arrived. We've been awaiting you for a long time!"

The moment Village Chief Su Meiqian saw someone from Spirit Hall, he immediately went forward to welcome him with a respectful smile.

"Old Su, I told you last year that you didn't need to bring the little ones out here to wait for me, yet you did it again!"

"Forget it. Let's hurry up and begin the Martial Soul awakening ceremony. I'm sure you've been waiting anxiously too!"

Seeing Village Chief Su Meiqian and the others, Su Yuntao walked over and scolded Su Meiqian.

But scolding aside, Su Yuntao didn't dislike being valued like this. Of all the villages, only Meilin Village did this so well.

"I am Su Yuntao, a Spirit Master of Spirit Hall. Little ones, I'll be the one awakening your Martial Souls shortly!"

"I hope one of you will be able to become a Spirit Master!"

Su Yuntao then introduced himself to Mo Bai and the others, voicing his sincere hopes.

He was a low-ranking member himself, so he understood how difficult life was for the villagers. If a village could produce even one Spirit Master, it would bring the village considerable benefits.

That was why he truly hoped that Meilin Village would produce a promising child capable of becoming a Spirit Master this year.

"Su Yuntao, that was his name!"

"That's right, it's him!"

Upon hearing Su Yuntao introduce himself, Mo Bai immediately confirmed it. This was indeed the man.

Su Yuntao did not need the village chief to lead the way. Familiar with the route, he walked ahead and brought Mo Bai and the others to the Spirit Hall branch in Meilin Village.

Upon arriving, Mo Bai could not help growing a little excited.

Whether he could awaken the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul he wanted would soon be decided.
