Heaven Dou Empire, outside Heaven Dou City.

In an unnamed small village, inside a dilapidated little house.

A ragged young man sat on a straw mat, staring at the bare walls and rubbing his growling stomach. He muttered, "I never thought Feng Hao would one day transmigrate to another world—the Douluo World, full of beautiful women. But isn't my starting point a little too low?"

The young man was named Feng Hao, and he was twelve years old this year.

Of course, that was his original name.

The original owner of this body had not even had a name.

His parents had both died, and he himself had been sickly. With no one to support him, he had died at home yesterday. Then Feng Hao had come here and taken his place.

"Without being able to awaken a Martial Soul and without a powerful background, it seems even survival has become a problem."

Feng Hao now realized the predicament he faced. He did not want to die again.

The moment he finished speaking, an emotionless voice suddenly sounded beside his ear.

"God-tier Choice System activated!"

"Ding! Survival event triggered!"

"Choice One: Choose to be an ordinary person. Reward: endless wealth and a lifetime free of illness and disaster."

"Choice Two: Choose to become a Soul Master. Reward: God-tier Martial Soul, Three-legged Golden Crow; level 20 Innate Soul Power; Ten-thousand-year Spirit Ring."

Faced with this sudden cheat, Feng Hao was overjoyed.

He muttered, "I like adventure. I want to become a Soul Master."

As soon as he spoke, he suddenly felt a holy light descend upon him. The next moment, his body was filled with strength, and his hunger temporarily vanished.

He had not only gained a Martial Soul, but also his first Spirit Ring. He was now a proper Soul Master.

If he found his next Spirit Ring, he could advance to Soul Grandmaster.

However, his first Spirit Ring was already ten thousand years old. His next Spirit Ring would definitely have to be stronger than this one.

Ten-thousand-year Spirit Beasts were not so easy to deal with.

But he planned to first train at the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest and see what level of Spirit Beast his strength compared to. After gaining some experience, he would consider finding reliable people to help him obtain a Ten-thousand-year Spirit Beast's Spirit Ring.

The Three-legged Golden Crow was the Spirit of the Sun. It was not only a God-tier Martial Soul, but also an Extreme Fire Martial Soul.

Upon possessing this Martial Soul, he gained a soul skill unrelated to Spirit Rings.

Sun True Fire: As the owner of the Three-legged Golden Crow Martial Soul, he could summon Sun True Fire to fight for him.

Besides this soul skill, there was also a domain.

Golden Crow Domain!

Golden Crow Domain: When the domain unfolded, ten suns hung in the sky, and Divine Sun Radiance shone everywhere. Divine Sun Radiance could injure the eyes and blind people.

All of these came with the Martial Soul itself, while the first skill granted by the Spirit Ring was equally formidable.

First Soul Skill: Golden Crow Emerges from Fusang!

Golden Crow Emerges from Fusang: Soul Power condensed and transformed into a Golden Crow. When the Golden Crow flapped its wings, its Sun True Fire could burn rivers and boil seas.

With this soul skill, going to the Star Dou Great Forest would not be too dangerous, so long as he did not venture too deeply inside.

He summoned his Martial Soul, and a massive Three-legged Golden Crow appeared above him.

Though it was merely a phantom and not a real sun, the divine might it radiated made one feel an irresistible urge to worship it.

A black Spirit Ring appeared around Feng Hao. His very first Spirit Ring was black—he was absolutely one of a kind.

He then withdrew his Martial Soul, and a flame rose from his fingertip.

It was a cluster of golden flames. Though he himself could not feel any heat from it, the surrounding environment showed just how terrifyingly hot it was.

The wooden table a short distance in front of him began to smoke, despite still being some distance away.

He hurriedly withdrew the flames, then stood up and walked outside.

Once outside, he looked at the ruined house and decided not to remain here.

There was nothing here worth missing, so naturally, he had no plans to return.

This body's parents were gone, and the villagers held no feelings for him. Naturally, he would not have any feelings for them either.

A cluster of flames rose from his fingertip. He pointed it toward the roof, and the flame flew over.

With a whoosh, the fire instantly surged, and the dilapidated house collapsed amid the flames.

Feng Hao did not look back. He left without the slightest attachment.

After leaving the village, he headed straight for the Star Dou Great Forest. Though he was somewhat hungry now, he could endure it with his own Soul Power.

Once he entered the Star Dou Great Forest, he would be able to obtain food.

Those Spirit Beasts could all become his food.

By then, he could also exchange hunted Spirit Beasts for Gold Soul Coins. Wealth would no longer be a dream.

At dusk,

On the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Beside a stream lay a nearly extinguished campfire, along with some broken bones.

Feng Hao lay comfortably nearby, rubbing his stomach as he sighed. "Even without any seasoning, this Spirit Beast meat is really good."

He was full now and planned to rest for a while before continuing deeper inside to hunt some Spirit Beasts and bring them back.

Just as he prepared to get up and continue onward, he headed deeper into the forest.

As he walked, he muttered, "I wonder what time it is now, and how old Tang San and the others are. I hope they haven't developed any feelings yet!"

Once fed and warm, he naturally began thinking of other things.

He was thinking that once he returned, he would visit Nuoding Academy and confirm things for himself.

After walking some distance, he suddenly felt the ground tremble. It seemed that Spirit Beasts were fleeing in all directions.

However, the fleeing Spirit Beasts were only hundred-year Spirit Beasts, and Feng Hao did not take them seriously at all.

He headed against the direction in which the Spirit Beasts were fleeing. When no more Spirit Beasts were running away, he noticed a faint firelight not far ahead.

Ahead was a broad clearing.

Torches had been planted around it. At the center, a snow-white giant tiger faced off against a young woman.

The young woman had golden hair and purple eyes. She wore a golden palace dress, and her fair skin looked even more beautiful beneath the moonlight.

The White Tiger also had a pair of wings between its ribs, though those wings looked as if they had been pieced together from countless sharp swords.

The aura emanating from the White Tiger was clearly beyond anything those hundred-year Spirit Beasts could compare with.

It was a thousand-year Spirit Beast, and the aura it gave off was much stronger than he had imagined.

There were several wounds on the White Tiger's body, but Feng Hao observed that they were all minor injuries.

These wounds were not fatal to it. Instead, they only provoked its fury further.

As for the young woman, although she still appeared exceptionally graceful, her Soul Power had been greatly depleted, and she would not be able to hold on for long.

"Roar!"

The White Tiger roared angrily and pounced at the young woman again.

The young woman threw a punch to meet it. Golden energy gathered before her delicate fist, forming a golden shield of light that blocked the White Tiger's attack.

The White Tiger was knocked back several steps, but she herself was sent more than ten steps back by its strength before finally steadying herself, her body still trembling slightly.
