"Ding. Your next sign-in location: Holy Spirit Village! Note: There may be a chance to obtain Innate Full Soul Power."
The Loli Voice System said.
Holy Spirit Village???
Was this asking him to go meet Tang San?
Well, wasn't Tang San and his father, Tang Hao, living in seclusion in Holy Spirit Village?
It seemed he really had to make a trip to Holy Spirit Village.
Otherwise, he truly wouldn't be able to complete this sign-in.
Then he would go!
It was no big deal anyway. He wasn't exactly welcome at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
He might as well go out and take a look around.
Now that he had this Loli Voice System, he could obtain awesome martial souls, skills, equipment, and all sorts of things just by signing in. Why not?
Wang Xiao picked two whole bags of Red Plums before finally climbing down from the tree.
"Cousin, you're the best!" Ning Rongrong nearly drooled as she looked at the Red Plums in her cousin's pockets.
She even gave Wang Xiao a light kiss on the cheek. The sweet feeling was simply wonderful.
"Of course!" Wang Xiao was rather proud as he immediately gave half the Red Plums to Ning Rongrong.
Before dawn the next day.
Wang Xiao got up early.
He looked out the window and saw the bright moon hanging in the sky.
It's time to leave.
He hastily packed a few things, took the funds he had saved over the years, then slipped out through the back gate of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect on horseback.
Before leaving, Wang Xiao also left his cousin Ning Rongrong a letter, thanking her for the companionship and little boat of friendship they had shared over the years.
"I'm leaving. I'm really leaving!"
Sitting on his horse, Wang Xiao looked back at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect one last time, feeling somewhat speechless.
He did not know when it had started, but he had developed a slight attachment to this place.
Perhaps it was because he had lived here since childhood and had already regarded the sect as his home.
Though he had received no love here, it was still the home that had raised him.
"I'm leaving, I'm leaving... I'm really leaving."
"Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, cousin, goodbye!"
Wang Xiao gave the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect one final look and said his final farewell.
He did not know whether he would ever return here.
Maybe he would, maybe he would not!
That was not something he could concern himself with now.
What Wang Xiao cared about now was getting to Holy Spirit Village as quickly as possible and completing the sign-in without fail. That was the important thing.
Hopefully, once he signed in, he would obtain Innate Full Soul Power. Only then would he have the qualifications to compete with Tang San.
After several days.
Wang Xiao finally arrived at Holy Spirit Village. What identity should I use to appear in Holy Spirit Village and meet Tang San?
After thinking it over and over, Wang Xiao finally came up with a good idea.
He would first enter the village as a traveler, then find a household and spend some Soul Coins to stay there.
After spending half a day.
Wang Xiao quickly found a suitable household and paid to rent a room.
The family's surname was Pang, and they lived at the end of the village.
Wang Xiao spent some more Soul Coins and reached a secret agreement with Uncle Pang.
A secret known only to the two of them.
This way, in Holy Spirit Village, he would no longer appear as a traveler, but as Uncle Pang's relative.
After settling into Uncle Pang's home, Wang Xiao was considered settled in Holy Spirit Village.
The Sign-in Task had also been completed. All that remained was for the Loli Voice Sign-in System to deliver his sign-in reward.
Although the Loli Voice Sign-in System had not reacted yet, it should be soon.
Wang Xiao wasn't worried that the system would go back on its word, so he settled down here without concern.
In any case, his remaining funds were enough for him to live comfortably here for more than half a year.
Once he had gained some abilities, earning a little extra money would not be difficult.
Next, it was time to pay Tang San a visit.
Tang Hao currently appeared in Holy Spirit Village as a blacksmith, which marked the beginning of the original Douluo Dalu book's storyline.
Wang Xiao still did not know exactly where Tang San's home was located in Holy Spirit Village.
He could only ask the village children for directions and have them lead the way. That would be much faster.
Why ask children for directions instead of adults?
Wang Xiao had his own particular reasons.
If he asked adults, they might easily become suspicious of his intentions in seeking out Tang San.
But children were much simpler, and they would be more willing to lead him there.
All it took was a couple more candies—just a little pocket money.
Of course, the simple children he meant were not Tang San, but the other children.
As for Tang San, he was a young man who had transmigrated. No matter how innocent he might seem, how innocent could he really be?
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Rear courtyard.
Sob, sob, sob~
"Cousin... Give me back my cousin!"
Ning Rongrong had not come to play with Wang Xiao for several days. When she came looking for him today and pushed open the door, she did not see him. Instead, she found only a letter on the bed.
Ning Rongrong hurriedly opened it and discovered that it was a farewell letter. Her cousin had actually left half a month ago.
In her panic, she immediately burst into tears.
Yet Ning Rongrong did not know that her cousin, Wang Xiao, had actually been struck by lightning one afternoon half a year ago.
She knew even less that the soul living inside this body was actually that of a young man from another world, not her cousin.
Naturally, Wang Xiao could never tell her this secret.
Clang, clang, clang.
A series of metallic impacts rang out from the courtyard.
Standing outside the courtyard gate, Wang Xiao had already heard them clearly.
There was no need to say it—it was the sound of hammering iron.
According to the original Douluo Dalu book's plot, Tang Hao's current occupation was that of a blacksmith.
So it was hardly strange for the sound of forging to come from his home.
However, the hammering was neither continuous nor forceful.
It came one strike at a time, slow and unhurried.
Like an old ox pulling a cart, it carried a steady rhythm.
From this, it was clear that it could not be the rhythm of the Clear Sky Douluo. It was obviously someone else.
Someone who was not very strong.
There was only one person Wang Xiao could think of—without a doubt, Tang San himself.
Tang San was only six years old now—or rather, five, not yet six—so naturally, he was not very strong.
Although he had the soul of a young man inside him, he was still limited by his body. Even if he was a little stronger than the other children of Holy Spirit Village, he could not be much stronger.
Five-year-old Tang San was still just a little runt, wasn't he?
Wahahahaha~
After thinking about it, Wang Xiao could not help letting out a strangely wicked laugh.
Although he himself was only six, he was at least a few months older than Tang San.
Besides, he now had a cheat system. As long as he checked in, it would give him martial souls, Divine Artifacts, and all sorts of things.
Grinding that little runt into the ground would be no problem at all.
And in truth, although martial soul cultivators in Douluo Dalu possessed powerful martial souls, compared to the people and cultivators of the Cultivation World, they were practically weaklings.
So those Titled Douluo and the like were not actually all that powerful.
Otherwise, Tang San's little tricks and those little Hidden Weapons of his could never have injured even Titled Douluo so badly that they could not fight back.
If Tang San were thrown into the Cultivation World, then with those little tricks of his, even ordinary cultivation disciples could beat him around hundreds or thousands of times.
He'd probably be dead within three days of transmigrating here.
That wasn't an exaggeration.
Wang Xiao gently pushed open the courtyard gate and peeked inside. Sure enough, he saw a tiny child holding a hammer longer and bigger than himself, striking a square piece of iron on an iron stake again and again.
Needless to say, that little kid hammering iron was none other than Tang San.
Although he was thinner and smaller than in the anime, he seemed remarkably mature.
Wang Xiao sized the little guy up for a while and found him nothing special. If I lose some weight, I'll be way more handsome than him.
Still, Tang San would become much more handsome once he grew up.
Especially after Tang San inherited his mother Ah Yin's Blue Silver Emperor—he would become even more handsome.
Thinking of that, Wang Xiao decided that starting tomorrow, he had to work hard at losing weight.
He couldn't afford to lose at the starting line. He had to surpass Little San and become the most handsome guy on all of Douluo Continent—the kind of handsome that could make people's jaws drop.
It would be even more perfect if he had twelve-pack abs.
