Eggplant Village
In the blink of an eye, Xu Wenlong had been transported to the Douluo Continent for seven years. Those seven years had not been particularly pleasant for him.
After all, in a setting like medieval Europe, what could you expect from a modern young man without phones, computers, or Wi-Fi?
Fortunately, Xu Wenlong had grown used to life here. Aside from occasionally using a tiny amount of Soul Power to manifest their Martial Souls, the people here were not all that different from those where Xu Wenlong came from.
Speaking of which, the village Xu Wenlong had been reincarnated into was called Eggplant Village. It was far from the nearest town. If the village had any specialty, it was the abundance of sand surrounding it.
Because the village was surrounded by desert, its residents all wished for grass to cover the land. Thus, one literate ancestor had hopefully named it Eggplant Village, meaning a village with more grass.
Because the village was so far from the nearest town, whenever there were children of the proper age to undergo Martial Soul awakening, the village chief would notify the town's Spirit Hall in advance so its people would not make a wasted trip.
Other villages were one thing, but Eggplant Village was simply too far from town. Though a wasted trip might not matter much to Spirit Hall's Soul Masters, the village chief feared it would leave a bad impression on the esteemed Lord Soul Masters, and so this custom came to be.
This year was also the year Xu Wenlong would awaken his Martial Soul. Since the village was small, only a handful of children would be awakening their Martial Souls alongside him.
Early in the morning, Xu Wenlong got up alone, tidied the house, and waited with the village chief and the children who were to awaken their Martial Souls for the people from Spirit Hall to arrive.
It was a tradition. They rose early so they would not keep the Lord Soul Masters waiting, and also to leave a good impression.
After waiting for who knew how long, the Spirit Hall Soul Masters who had come to awaken the village children's Martial Souls finally arrived.
"Lord Soul Master, you've worked hard!"
The village chief hobbled over with his cane and spoke to the Spirit Hall Soul Master.
The Spirit Hall Soul Master was a young man in his twenties. Seeing the old man like this, he did not reply, merely dismounted and headed to the place the village chief had prepared.
"Your village chief should have told you already. Today is the most important moment of your lives."
"Martial Souls are the foundation upon which people of the Douluo Continent stand. My Martial Soul is the Three-Eyed Wolf. Let me show you the power of a Martial Soul!"
"Three-Eyed Wolf Possession!"
Although the young man was clearly not the One-Eyed God King Xu Wenlong remembered, he was still a Soul Master Xu Wenlong could only look up to at present.
Strong muscles bulged all over the young man's body, covered in a layer of gray fur. It was clearly not human hair, but the fur of the young Soul Master's Three-Eyed Wolf.
Very quickly, the young Soul Master transformed into a gray, upright giant wolf. If certain furry enthusiasts from Xu Wenlong's previous life saw this, they would surely be overjoyed.
The wolfman the young Soul Master had transformed into did not merely have two eyes. There was also an eye on his forehead. Though it did not have any extra abilities like Erlang Shen's eye, it was still different from an ordinary wolf Martial Soul.
As Xu Wenlong thought this, the village children awakening their Martial Souls were frightened by the young Soul Master's wolfman transformation, but they were soon comforted and lined up to awaken their Martial Souls.
Although there seemed to be many commoner Soul Masters in the original Douluo Continent story, that was not actually the case.
There was no need to mention the inheritances of the Upper Three Sects and Lower Four Sects. Just look at the Shrek Seven Devils: Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing possessed inherited Martial Souls from the Star Luo Empire, while Ning Rongrong's Martial Soul was inherited from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Xiao Wu was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, so she possessed Innate Full Soul Power. Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor and Clear Sky Hammer were also inherited.
Of the rest, Ma Hongjun had a mutated Martial Soul, while Oscar's Martial Soul was less impressive than Oscar himself.
A sausage Martial Soul was nothing special, yet Oscar had Innate Full Soul Power and thoroughly slapped a certain Grandmaster in the face.
