My Martial Soul, Luo Sanpao

Douluo Continent.

Spirit City.

Under the bright sunlight of Spirit City Square, the annual Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony was underway.

"Wang An, martial soul: Rock-Armored Wild Boar, Innate Soul Power level five!"

"Xie Miaomiao, martial soul: Iron-Toothed Grass, Innate Soul Power level four!"

"Chen Tianhu, martial soul: Blazing Demon Tiger, Innate Soul Power level seven!"

On a raised platform, a Red-Robed Archpriest dressed in crimson robes was presiding over the Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony.

Among the children waiting in line, boys and girls alike chatted excitedly.

They wondered what martial souls they would awaken later.

Yet among them, one well-proportioned little boy in blue clothes, with short golden hair and delicate features, remained calm and indifferent.

His name was Gu Han, and he was a transmigrator.

Gu Han did not know why he had transmigrated.

He only knew that, before transmigrating, he had been catching up on the newest Douluo Continent anime.

Feeling tired, he had merely gone to bed for a nap. When he woke up, he had somehow become a baby and appeared in the Martial Soul City Orphanage.

Fortunately, he had appeared in the Martial Soul City Orphanage.

Otherwise, Gu Han estimated that even getting enough food and warm clothes in this Douluo Continent world would have been difficult.

Just like the protagonist, Tang San.

I wonder what martial soul I'll awaken?

Watching the people on the platform awaken their martial souls, Gu Han silently thought.

Although he was an orphan from the Martial Soul City Orphanage, unlike most of the other orphans, Gu Han's parents had not been soul masters from Spirit Hall.

Gu Han had heard from the Dean that he had been brought out of an Evil Soul Master nest by Spirit Hall's Holy Light Angel Enforcement Team.

When he first heard about Evil Soul Masters, Gu Han had been stunned.

Because as he recalled, Evil Soul Masters seemed to have only appeared during the second Douluo era in the novels. They had not appeared in the first, yet unexpectedly, they existed in the first era too.

But upon thinking about it, that was normal.

Evil Soul Masters were born because of martial soul mutations, and martial soul mutations had existed ever since martial souls first appeared.

How could there have been no Evil Soul Masters before, only for them to suddenly exist in the second Douluo era?

In Gu Han's view, perhaps Evil Soul Masters had rarely been heard of during the first Douluo era simply because Spirit Hall had suppressed them so thoroughly that they could barely show themselves.

But in the second Douluo era, without Spirit Hall's suppression and with Shrek Academy unable to manage things, Evil Soul Masters had run rampant and become widely known.

And because he had been brought out of an Evil Soul Master nest, Gu Han felt that his parents had most likely just been ordinary people, not soul masters.

According to the rules of Douluo Continent, his chances of becoming a soul master were probably very low.

Therefore, since he already more or less knew the result of going up to awaken his martial soul, Gu Han held no hope at all.

Don't transmigrators all get cheat abilities? It'd be great if I got a system!

Gu Han could not help thinking.

As a transmigrator, he was already six years old and about to undergo his martial soul awakening, yet his cheat ability still had not appeared.

What people said online really had been a lie!

After waiting several hours, it was finally Gu Han's turn to go onstage for his martial soul awakening.

Following the Red-Robed Archpriest's instructions, Gu Han stepped onto the platform, entered the Martial Soul Awakening Array, and closed his eyes.

Beside him, the Red-Robed Archpriest injected Soul Power into the Martial Soul Awakening Array, which consisted of six black stones and resembled a Hexagram Array.

Countless Golden Light Particles immediately drifted out from the six black stones and continuously poured into Gu Han's body.

For a moment, Gu Han only felt waves of warmth flowing into his body.

Then, a mechanical voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

Ding! Active energy detected. Absorbing... Heavenly Transformation System activation progress: 1%, 2%, 3%...100%!

System activation complete. Welcome to the Heavenly Transformation System!

What?! A system?!

Hearing the mechanical voice in his mind, Gu Han could not help feeling astonished by the sudden surprise even with his eyes tightly shut.

System, you finally came!

Do you know how painfully long I've waited for you?!

At that moment, the Red-Robed Archpriest's sharp command suddenly rang out. "Summon your martial soul!"

Hearing the Red-Robed Archpriest's voice, Gu Han, who had already sensed the martial soul within him, abruptly opened his eyes. Following that inexplicable connection, he willed it into action.

Amid a burst of purple light, an incredibly strange creature suddenly appeared before Gu Han.

It resembled a small pig. It was not large, its entire body covered in light purple fur. Its ears were broad and large, its body somewhat plump, and its deep blue eyes were especially lively, as though it possessed its own consciousness.

The instant it appeared, the creature squealed, "Luo luo!" and happily rubbed against Gu Han's leg.

This was Luo Sanpao?!

When Gu Han saw that the martial soul he had summoned was actually the famed Luo Sanpao, he was stunned.

Weren't his parents in this life supposed to be ordinary commoners?

How could his martial soul possibly be the same Luo Sanpao martial soul as Yu Xiaogang's?

Could it be that, in this life, one of his parents had actually been a soul master from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?

Seeing that Gu Han had summoned the Luo Sanpao martial soul, the Red-Robed Archpriest was stunned for a moment as well, hardly daring to believe his eyes.

What kind of Beast Martial Soul was this?

How could it possess a physical form and move on its own?

Nearby, in the guest seating area.

When Bibi Dong saw the Luo Sanpao martial soul Gu Han had summoned, her delicate body trembled. Seated upon the highest throne, dressed in a dark purple papal robe, wearing the Nine-Curved Purple Gold Crown, and holding the Pope's Scepter encrusted with magnificent jewels, she was tall and curvaceous, breathtakingly beautiful, with exquisite features and an elegant, noble bearing. She suddenly rose to her feet, her beautiful eyes filled with complexity and shock.

"His Holiness the Pope!"

At her side, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan understood why. He could not help lowering his voice. "Would you like me to send someone to bring that child to see you?"

Bibi Dong did not immediately answer Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan's question. She merely tightened her grip on the Pope's Scepter and stared fixedly at Luo Sanpao beside Gu Han, who was undergoing his martial soul awakening in the square. Her eyes were filled with complicated emotions.

There was longing, pain, remembrance...

Only after a long while did Bibi Dong's elegant and noble face return to calm. She took a deep breath and spoke lightly.

"Yes. Bring him here. I'll wait for you in the Pavilion behind us."

"Child, your martial soul truly is unusual. Come test your Soul Power."

In Spirit City Square.

After staring blankly for a while at Luo Sanpao, who was happily and contentedly squealing, "Luo luo!" while rubbing against Gu Han's leg, the Red-Robed Archpriest finally took out a deep blue Soul Power Testing Crystal Ball and handed it to Gu Han to test his Soul Power.

However, Gu Han sighed inwardly and held no expectations for his Innate Soul Power.

Because he knew very well that his Luo Sanpao martial soul was the ultimate degenerated form of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul after its evolution into the Golden Sacred Dragon had failed.

He would be lucky to have half a level of Innate Soul Power!

Yu Xiaogang had been the young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and had enjoyed the finest resources and treatment since childhood, yet he had possessed only half a level of Innate Soul Power.

Gu Han was just an orphan. Although he could eat his fill and stay warm every day because he was in Spirit City, that was all. He would be lucky to have even 0.25 levels!

In the end, the test result did not exceed Gu Han's expectations.

"Yours is... Innate Soul Power level one-quarter..."

After Gu Han placed his hand on the testing crystal ball, the light released by the deep blue crystal ball was practically nonexistent. After examining it carefully for a long time, the Red-Robed Archpriest gave Gu Han his Innate Soul Power level with an odd expression.

"Your..."

The Red-Robed Archpriest simply did not know how to describe it.

In all his years, he had never seen someone with Soul Power whose Innate Soul Power level was this low.

In his eyes, Gu Han's martial soul was truly unusual. He had never expected its level to be so low, which made the Red-Robed Archpriest feel quite regretful.

"This guy, didn't the Dean say he was a prodigy? That he'd been clever since childhood and would definitely awaken a good martial soul? This martial soul is barely any better than a useless one!"

"Exactly! Exactly!"

"What genius or prodigy? No matter how smart he is, trash is still trash!"

Below the platform, when they discovered that Gu Han's Luo Sanpao martial soul possessed only one-quarter level of Innate Soul Power, many orphans who were deeply jealous of Gu Han began hurling malicious remarks and mocking him.

But Gu Han did not take the words of this bunch of brats to heart at all.

Not to mention that he had now activated a system.

Even without it, Gu Han was not that useless Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang.

As someone who had read the Douluo Continent novels and watched the anime in his previous life, he knew very well how to evolve the Luo Sanpao martial soul.
