"I never expected to become a child of Leng Yaozhu's family just like that."
Having just turned six, Lu Jun recalled the day Leng Yaozhu had found him and could not help but sigh.
Back on Earth, he had accidentally been hit by Hundred Ton King.
Hundred Ton King was probably wondering, What did I just run over? I thought it was a speed bump.
As for compensation?
Talk to the insurance company.
We're all trying our best to live~
Then Lu Jun closed his eyes and opened them again, and he had transmigrated to Douluo Continent.
To make matters even stranger, Leng Yaozhu had picked him up and brought him home.
After he woke up, Leng Yaozhu had asked him several questions in a row—his name, who his family was, where they were, and so on.
Lu Jun truthfully told her his name, but as for his family... he could only say that he was an orphan.
His parents back on Earth: "?"
"Lu Jun, today is Martial Soul Awakening Day. You've just turned six, so you meet the requirements."
Leng Yaozhu pushed open the door, looked at Lu Jun sitting blankly on his bedroom bed, and urged him along.
"Stop lying around. Get up, wash up, have breakfast, and come with me to the Spirit Pagoda to awaken your Martial Soul."
Pulled from his thoughts, Lu Jun hurriedly got out of bed. After getting dressed, washing up, and finishing breakfast, he left with Leng Yaozhu.
On Douluo Continent, everyone had one chance to awaken their Martial Soul when they turned six.
In other worlds, one could still find a way forward by working hard and cultivating to become stronger.
But on Douluo Continent, all you could do was pray that your parents' or ancestors' bloodline was strong enough.
If it was not, and you inherited some lousy Martial Soul with little Soul Power, then forget about becoming a powerful Soul Master in this lifetime.
Yet even with an excellent Martial Soul, if you encountered someone with a noble bloodline, you still had to kneel.
That was why a good bloodline and a good Martial Soul were the most important things.
"Sister Leng, what kind of Martial Soul do you think I'll awaken?" Lu Jun looked at Leng Yaozhu, who was holding his hand.
"No one can know for certain what kind of Martial Soul they'll awaken," Leng Yaozhu said softly. "But you... you'll definitely awaken an exceptionally good Ice Attribute Martial Soul, or perhaps a Fire Attribute one."
Lu Jun asked, "Why?"
"Did you forget? I told you that I found you in the Extreme North. I was quite shocked at the time. You were so little, and you hadn't even awakened a Martial Soul, yet you could maintain your body temperature and remain in the freezing Extreme North for so long. It must have been your hidden Martial Soul protecting you."
"That's why I guessed you might have an Ice Attribute or Fire Attribute Martial Soul." Leng Yaozhu raised a hand and rubbed Lu Jun's head. "Don't worry. You're very talented. Even if you awaken a Martial Soul with no Soul Power, I'll make arrangements for you and ensure that you never lack food or clothing."
"Thank you, Sister Leng."
Leng Yaozhu smiled and flicked his forehead, saying nothing.
Lu Jun could only hope that he would absolutely, absolutely not awaken a beast-type or dragon-type Martial Soul.
This was Dragon King Legend, after all—the era of Golden Dragon King Tang Wulin and Silver Dragon King Gu Yue Na.
With the bloodlines of two Dragon Kings, no beast-type or dragon-type Martial Soul would amount to anything in front of them.
Lu Jun was extremely familiar with the original plot.
With knowledge of the original story, he could obtain more opportunities and resources on his path to becoming a Soul Master.
Even if his luck was bad and he happened to awaken a beast-type Martial Soul, as long as he did not provoke Gu Yue Na or Tang Wulin, he could still live a good life.
With all the information I have, I can always make something of it.
Leng Yaozhu brought the confident Lu Jun to the Spirit Pagoda Headquarters.
It was located in the great city of Mingdu, the capital of the Sun Moon Federation.
As Leng Yaozhu introduced the Spirit Pagoda to him, Lu Jun, who had only just arrived in this world, froze completely.
The confidence he had painstakingly built up was destroyed in an instant.
Wait, something's wrong.
I remember the Spirit Pagoda Headquarters being in Shrek City.
Why is it here in Mingdu?
Is there something wrong with me, or is there something wrong with them?
"Lu Jun, do you understand the Martial Soul Awakening process now?"
Leng Yaozhu's voice pulled Lu Jun back to reality once again.
"Uh, I-I understand." Lu Jun nodded instinctively.
"Good. Let's go in."
Before entering, Lu Jun saw many parents who had brought their children here for their awakenings.
The moment he stepped inside, he saw a silver-haired girl walk past him.
Her features were exquisite, and her silver hair reached her waist.
She looked like a porcelain doll.
Lu Jun stared at the child, stunned by that familiar face.
He was just about to ask her something.
But the girl did not even glance at him. She walked straight past him and joined the line.
Well, that was unexpected.
She was rather cold, too.
And her face looked very familiar.
It felt like he had seen her somewhere before.
She can't possibly be Gu Yue Na, can she?
Lu Jun mocked himself inwardly.
Bullshit.
Given how the plot is progressing, how could Gu Yue Na possibly be in Mingdu?
She's in Aolai City right now.
Her personality split, and sealing herself left her with aftereffects that caused her to lose her memories.
Then Tang Wulin will save her and bring her home.
If this girl is Gu Yue Na, I'll eat it.
"Lu Jun, come line up." Leng Yaozhu said irritably, raising her hand to flick his forehead again.
"Honestly, you used to be quite sharp. Why have you been spacing out all day?"
Lu Jun answered and hurriedly joined the line with Leng Yaozhu.
He wondered when it would finally be his turn to awaken his Martial Soul.
"Martial Soul: Green Willow. Innate Soul Power: level four. Not bad."
At the front of the line, the Spirit Master's voice rang out.
"Go back and cultivate diligently. You may reach level ten before the age of nine."
"Thank you, Spirit Master."
Then Lu Jun heard the surrounding discussions:
"Wow, Innate Soul Power level four. That's not bad. At least it's a lower-middle talent."
"Hey, as long as they have Soul Power and can cultivate, it's fine. In this day and age, becoming a Soul Master is the only way to rise above the rest. If you aren't a Soul Master, you'll have to learn a trade to support yourself."
"True. I wonder whether my child has innate Soul Power."
Lu Jun also curiously craned his neck to look inside.
During Martial Soul Awakening, whether one possessed innate Soul Power and what level their Innate Soul Power was were both extremely important.
Generally speaking, Innate Soul Power above level five was considered very good talent. In this era, such people had a chance of cultivating to become Titled Douluo.
As for those below level five... that depended on luck.
You had to rely on your father, your mother, and luck as well.
"Martial Soul: Stone Shield. Innate Soul Power: level three. Work hard, child."
The Spirit Master busily worked, recording the information of those awakening their Martial Souls.
Soon, the unchanging smile on his face shifted.
"Martial Soul: Golden Bear. Innate Soul Power: level n-nine!"
The first child with Innate Soul Power at level nine appeared that day. When he came out, he held his head high, looking exceptionally proud.
Everyone around him looked on with envy. Some representatives of various factions had already set up watch, recording his information in preparation for forming good ties with the genius in the future.
However, any genius who awakened at the Spirit Pagoda would naturally be recruited by the Spirit Pagoda first.
Only after the Spirit Pagoda had eaten its fill could they drink a little of the meat broth that spilled through its fingers.
The commotion over the innate level nine soon died down.
After all, it was only level nine. He counted as one of the better geniuses.
The Martial Soul Awakenings went rather quickly, and it was almost Lu Jun's turn.
The next moment, the Spirit Master's voice rang out again:
"Martial Soul: Silver Dragon. Innate Full Soul Power?"
"Child, what is your name?"
The silver-haired girl replied flatly:
"Gu Yue Na."
Lu Jun: "???"
