Chen An, the Beginning of Great Change

Baiye City was a small city in the middle of the continent, with a population of just over a hundred thousand.

The morning had still been bright and clear, but by afternoon, dark clouds had gathered and heavy rain began to fall.

The bustling streets quickly emptied of pedestrians, becoming deserted.

"Why did it suddenly start raining?" An eleven- or twelve-year-old boy muttered as he stepped out of a shop.

"Chen An, your umbrella." A man in his forties handed an umbrella to the boy.

Chen An accepted it with a smile. Looking at the sky outside, he said to the man,

"Uncle Wang, this rain probably won't stop anytime soon. There won't be many customers this afternoon either."

"You should clean up and close early for the day."

The middle-aged man could not help but laugh. "If the boss finds out, he'll scold us again."

"Besides, don't we still need to work on the Soul Tool you designed?"

"We should hurry and make it so we can sell it. I have a feeling this Soul Tool is going to sell like hotcakes."

"Fine." Chen An did not try to persuade him further. Holding his umbrella, he left the shop.

Walking along the empty streets, Chen An found the atmosphere exceptionally quiet, filled with a sense of peaceful tranquility.

When he passed a roast duck shop and saw that it had not closed yet, he went in and ordered a duck.

"Add more spice. My little sister likes spicy food," Chen An reminded the owner.

"Sure thing." The owner readily agreed, not skimping on the chili at all.

Carrying the steaming roast duck, Chen An leisurely made his way home.

He lived in a well-known villa district in the city, with an independent garden and an area of over a thousand square meters.

"Dad, Xiao Yan!" Chen An placed his umbrella in its designated spot and called out as he took off his shoes.

"Neither of them is home?" Receiving no response, Chen An grew puzzled. Where had those two gone?

He set the roast duck on the table and returned to his room to change clothes.

His bedroom was nearly a hundred square meters, complete with a wardrobe, bookshelves, a private bathroom, and a washstand.

Chen An took off his wet shirt and pants, revealing his lean, muscular body.

With only half a month left until his twelfth birthday, he already looked like a young adult.

His height of 1.75 meters, sharply defined face, and exquisite features all showed that he was no longer a child.

Chen An looked at himself in the mirror, momentarily forgetting to put on clean clothes.

He slowly walked closer to the mirror and reached out to touch the face reflected in it, looking somewhat dazed.

"It's almost been twelve years," Chen An sighed for no particular reason.

Before he knew it, he had already spent nearly twelve years in this world from a novel.

Over those twelve years, he had gradually adapted to life in this world.

Douluo Continent was a world from a novel, inhabited by cultivators with extraordinary abilities.

They were known in this world as Soul Masters, a profession held above all others.

But that profession had nothing to do with him. He had no Martial Soul and no Soul Power. He was just an ordinary person.

No, he was worse off than an ordinary person, because ordinary people could awaken Martial Souls.

Only those who awakened a Martial Soul and possessed Innate Soul Power could become Soul Masters.

Those without Innate Soul Power were called ordinary people, while he had neither a Martial Soul nor Soul Power. He was ordinary to an excessive degree.

He could not understand this situation. After thinking about it for a long time, he could only attribute it to being a transmigrator.

He did not know the exact reason, just as he did not know how he had transmigrated here.

Unable to figure it out, he simply could not be bothered to pursue the matter and chose to let nature take its course.

Even if he could not become a Soul Master, living out a peaceful life was not bad. After all, he had been unable to cultivate in his previous life as well.

Now that he had transmigrated and still could not cultivate, it was no different from before. There was no sense of loss.

This was Douluo Era 3. Although there might be future crises, such as Evil Soul Masters causing trouble or the abyss invading—

With the information he knew, keeping himself and his family safe should not be difficult.

"Big brother." Just as he was lost in thought, a tentative voice sounded outside the door.

The voice was very quiet, as though the little girl speaking did not want anyone else to hear.

Chen An immediately came back to his senses and hurriedly put on his clothes and pants before opening the door.

The moment he opened it, he looked down. A little girl with two ponytails was looking up at him.

The little girl was only six years old, with fair skin and delicate, doll-like features. She was exceptionally adorable.

Her bright eyes looked watery and tender, making people want to cherish her.

At that moment, she had a lollipop in her mouth, and her face was filled with an innocent, excited smile.

Seeing the little girl, Chen An smiled from the bottom of his heart and instinctively rubbed her little head.

"Where did you run off to play this time? You didn't even know to bring an umbrella. If you catch a cold, I'm not taking care of you."

Seeing that the little girl was soaked, Chen An immediately frowned.

He casually took a piece of clothing from the wardrobe and gently dried her hair with it.

"Ah, wipe it later. I have good news to tell you," the little girl said in her childish voice.

"What good news could you possibly have?" Chen An did not take her seriously and continued drying her hair.

"Why can't I have good news? Don't look down on me," the little girl said unhappily.

"Heh." Chen An merely smiled without speaking. He knew his little sister far too well.

Seeing his expression, the little girl angrily slapped away Chen An's hand and took several steps back.

One hand rested on her waist, while the other held her lollipop as she pointed it at Chen An.

Her cheeks puffed out with anger, she said with a serious expression, "I mean it."

Chen An was amused by the little thing and said with interest, "Then tell me."

"I want to see what good news you have besides beating up other children."

Chen Yan was not a quiet child. She loved to eat but was also energetic, always running around everywhere.

When she played with other children, conflicts were inevitable, and fights were common.

Because of this, Chen An and their father had endless headaches and had dealt with quite a few of her fights.

"Listen carefully." Chen Yan raised her little head, even taking a moment to build up to the announcement.

"I... went... to... awaken... my Martial Soul." Chen Yan looked proudly at Chen An as she announced it word by word.

The carelessness on Chen An's face faded slightly. Uncertain, he asked, "You awakened a Martial Soul?"

He had secretly gone to awaken his Martial Soul behind their father's back, but he had failed. He had once suspected it might be hereditary.

If it really was hereditary, then Chen Yan should not have been able to awaken a Martial Soul either—unless she was not biologically related to them.

Of course, it was more likely that his status as a transmigrator made him special.

It was worth mentioning that their father had forbidden both Chen An and Chen Yan from awakening their Martial Souls.

He said that since he was an ordinary person, they would surely be ordinary people too. Going to awaken their Martial Souls would only be a waste of time.

Rather than awaken them and be disappointed, it was better not to go at all. Living peacefully as ordinary people was quite good.

This was very strange. Chen An had asked many times, but he never received an answer.

Later, he stopped asking, though he had not truly obeyed either.

He had still secretly gone to the Spirit Pagoda in the city to awaken his Martial Soul.

The result proved his father right. He had been utterly disappointed. If he had known, he would not have gone.

"Of course. I'm a genius, with Innate Full Soul Power," Chen Yan said proudly, crossing her arms.

She put the lollipop back into her mouth, and the sweetness put her in an especially good mood.

"So it really is because I'm a transmigrator," Chen An concluded.

He began to wonder if he might actually be the adopted one.

He could not help but see his little sister in a new light. He had not expected her to possess Innate Full Soul Power.

With his thorough understanding of Douluo Continent, he knew exactly what Innate Full Soul Power meant.

Even if she did not become an Ultimate Douluo in the future, becoming a Titled Douluo was highly likely.

A new book sets sail. I hope everyone will add it to their collections and cast recommendation votes. This book's story will be very exciting, so don't miss it.
