"Martial Soul? I actually came to Soul Land!"

Only after a long while did Mo Bai understand what had happened to him.

He had actually transmigrated to another world, just like Tang San, the protagonist of Soul Land World.

Only, Tang San had transmigrated after jumping off a cliff and dying, while Mo Bai had merely gone to sleep.

The current him had been reborn in the body of a three-year-old orphan.

No name, only a nickname... Forget it, the nickname did not matter. In any case, from now on, he was Mo Bai.

This body's parents had met with an accident two months ago and had both died.

After that, he had survived only by relying on the village's relief.

The shabby mud-brick house before his eyes was the only inheritance this body's parents had left behind.

It was shabby only to Mo Bai. To the people of this village, it was still fine. Everyone's homes were about the same, as long as they did not leak rain or let in the wind.

This kind of opening left Mo Bai with no strength to even complain!

It was still all right, though. He did not suddenly have an extra pair of parents, or Mo Bai might not have been able to adapt.

"Sigh, if I'd known I was going to transmigrate to Soul Land, I would've watched a few more episodes last night!"

Mo Bai then sighed, somewhat regretful.

If he had watched a few more episodes of Soul Land, he would have understood this world a little better.

Unlike now, when his understanding of this world was only half-baked.

He also still did not know this world's timeline.

But even if the timeline was the same as the Soul Land he had watched, all he knew was that Tang San was the protagonist, and that Xiao Wu was very likely the female lead.

Oh, and also that Tang San's father was not simple.

As for anything else, there was nothing!

"Forget it. If I don't know, then I don't know!"

"If Tang San could rely on the skills from his previous life to become Soul Land's protagonist, then even if I can't become the protagonist, becoming stronger than I was in my previous life through a miraculous Martial Soul definitely won't be a problem!"

"And this world seems pretty exciting too. I don't need to bother with Tang San or anything. I just have to live my own life well!"

"First, I need to cultivate the Jing Yu Secret again!"

"And all sorts of Tang Sect techniques!"

"In my previous life, I was a little too old when I started cultivating. At this age now, it's just right!"

After only regretting it for a brief moment, Mo Bai gave up on that unrealistic regret.

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

With the mind of an adult, Mo Bai only had to disguise himself a little to easily win the villagers' favor, allowing him to survive better.

Three years quickly passed.

During these three years, Mo Bai successfully cultivated the Tang Sect's most profound Jing Yu Secret once again.

However, just like Tang San, Mo Bai's Jing Yu Secret became stuck when it reached the perfection of the first layer, and he was never able to break through.

Mo Bai, who had long been mentally prepared, was not anxious at all.

Because he knew that as long as he waited until he awakened his Martial Soul, this shackle would be broken.

Aside from the mental technique, the Jing Yu Secret, Mo Bai also began practicing the Jade Hand and Flower-Piercing Butterfly Steps again.

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

Although he had not managed to cultivate any Pupil Technique, it was certain that his eyesight had become better.

If this continued, Mo Bai felt that he had hope of cultivating a Pupil Technique that would not be weak in the future.

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

Through that, he had also learned about some of this world's countries and powers!

However, he could not infer from this information whether he was in the same time period as Tang San.

Because Mo Bai simply did not know what the Soul Land World was like during the same time period as Tang San.

Fortunately, Mo Bai was not interested in that either. What interested him most right now was tomorrow's Martial Soul awakening.

"The parents of this body had Martial Souls of Blue Silver Grass and a hoe respectively!"

"A child's Martial Soul will randomly inherit one of the parents'. I hope what I awaken is Blue Silver Grass!"

"If I can awaken the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, I definitely won't take the control-system route!"

The next day, under the lead of the village chief, Su Meiqian, a group of six-year-old children, including Mo Bai, waited early at the village entrance for the arrival of the envoy from Spirit Hall who would hold the Martial Soul awakening ceremony.

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

"Grandpa village chief can find you some work!"

While they waited together, the village chief, Su Meiqian, spoke to Mo Bai.

Because Mo Bai was "well-behaved and sensible," the village chief, Su Meiqian, took very good care of him.

"Mm, thank you, Grandpa village chief!"

"But I believe I can definitely become a Soul Master and bring glory to our Meilin Village!"

Mo Bai nodded and spoke very politely, yet full of ambition.

"Good, good. Grandpa village chief also hopes you can become a Soul Master!"

When the village chief, Su Meiqian, heard Mo Bai's words, he immediately beamed with joy, his old heart gratified.

If only all the boys in the village could think like this.

"He's here, he's here..."

"The envoy from Spirit Hall is here!"

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

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

"The one who awakened the Martial Soul for Soul Land's protagonist should be him, right?"

When Mo Bai saw the person who had come, his heart stirred slightly.

It seemed that the point in time he had transmigrated to should be roughly the same as Tang San's.

"Lord Envoy, you've finally arrived. We've been respectfully waiting for quite some time!"

When the village chief, Su Meiqian, saw that someone from Spirit Hall had arrived, he immediately went up to welcome him with a face full of respect and smiles.

"Old Su, I already told you last year that you don't need to bring the little ones outside to wait for me, yet here you are again!"

"Forget it. Let's hurry up and carry out the Martial Soul awakening ceremony. I believe you've already grown impatient waiting!"

When Su Yuntao saw the village chief, Su Meiqian, and the others, he walked forward and scolded Su Meiqian.

Still, scolding was one thing. Su Yuntao did not dislike this feeling of being valued. Among so many villages, Meilin Village did this the best.

"I am Su Yuntao, a Soul Master of Spirit Hall. Little ones, I will be the one to awaken your Martial Souls in a moment!"

"I hope that among you, a Soul Master can appear!"

Next, Su Yuntao introduced himself to Mo Bai and the others, then sincerely expressed his hope.

He was also a bottom-rung member, so he knew the villagers' hardships. If a village could produce a Soul Master, it could bring the village quite a few benefits.

Therefore, he very much hoped that this year, Meilin Village could produce a seedling who could become a Soul Master.

"Su Yuntao, that was the name!"

"That's right. It's him!"

Hearing Su Yuntao's self-introduction, Mo Bai instantly confirmed that it was this person.

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

After arriving here, Mo Bai also became somewhat excited.

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